Background
On July 1, 2015, Liberty Global plc (“ Liberty Global ” or the “ Company ”) completed its previously announced distribution (the “ Distribution ”) of three new classes of ordinary shares, designated the LiLAC Class A Ordinary Shares, the LiLAC Class B Ordinary Shares and the LiLAC Class C Ordinary Shares (collectively, the “ LiLAC Ordinary Shares ”) that are intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses and assets of its operations in Latin America and the Caribbean (the “ LiLAC Group ”).
Through the Distribution, the Company distributed as a dividend (or “bonus issue” under U.K. law), to holders of its Class A, Class B and Class C Ordinary Shares (the “ Liberty Global Ordinary Shares ”) as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 24, 2015 (the “ Record Date ”), one share of the corresponding class of LiLAC Ordinary Shares for every 20 Liberty Global Ordinary Shares held by each shareholder as of the Record Date. The total number of LiLAC Class A Ordinary Shares, LiLAC Class B Ordinary Shares and LiLAC Class C Ordinary Shares distributed in the Distribution was approximately 12.6 million, 0.5 million and 30.8 million, respectively. Fractional entitlements to LiLAC Ordinary Shares will be aggregated and sold on behalf of the holders thereof, and the proportionate proceeds from such sales will be paid to such holders.
The LiLAC Group is initially comprised of Liberty Global’s operations in Chile and Puerto Rico, including (i) VTR Finance B.V. (“ VTR Finance ”) and its subsidiaries, which includes VTR GlobalCom SpA, (ii) Lila Chile Holding BV, which is the parent entity of VTR Finance, (iii) LiLAC Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries, which includes our 60% controlling interest in Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico LLC (“ Liberty Puerto Rico ”) and (iv) the costs associated with certain corporate employees of Liberty Global that are exclusively focused on the management of its Latin American operations. Liberty Puerto Rico includes Puerto Rico Cable Acquisition Company Inc., dba Choice Cable TV (“ Choice ”), which was acquired on June 3, 2015. In order to provide liquidity to fund, amongst other things, ongoing operating costs and acquisitions, the Company contributed $100 million in cash to a subsidiary attributed to the LiLAC Group that is outside of the VTR Finance and Liberty Puerto Rico borrowing groups.
  
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
In connection with the Distribution, the Company’s new articles of association (the “ New Articles ”) were approved by the requisite shareholder votes in February 2015, and, pursuant to the approval of the Company's board of directors, became effective on July 1, 2015. The New Articles set forth the terms of the LiLAC Ordinary Shares and make certain changes to the terms of the Company’s existing Liberty Global Ordinary Shares. Following the Distribution, the Liberty Global Ordinary Shares are intended to track and reflect the separate economic performance of the businesses, assets and liabilities not specifically attributed to the LiLAC Group.
The sections of Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 24, 2014, entitled “The Transaction Proposals-Description of the New LiLAC Ordinary Shares and Liberty Global Ordinary Shares under Our New Articles of Association and Comparison to the Liberty Global Ordinary Shares under Our Current Articles of Association” and “The Transaction Proposals-Management and Allocation Policies,” which describe certain provisions of the New Articles and related management and allocation policies, are incorporated herein by reference. The description of the New Articles is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Articles, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
A copy of the Company’s press release dated July 1, 2015, announcing the completion of the Distribution is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility
Filed hereto as Exhibits 4.1 through 4.4 and described below are certain agreements relating to the bank credit facility of Liberty Puerto Rico (collectively the “ Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility ”).
On July 7, 2014, Liberty Puerto Rico, as borrower, together with certain affiliates and subsidiaries as guarantors from time to time, entered into (i) an Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement (the “ First Lien Agreement ”), pursuant to which the lenders thereunder made available to Liberty Puerto Rico (a) a $530.0 million first lien term loan that matures on January 7, 2022 (“ Term Loan B ”) and (b) a $40.0 million revolving credit facility that matures on July 7, 2020 (the “ Revolving Loan ”) and (ii) an Amended

2



and Restated Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “ Second Lien Agreement ”), pursuant to which the lenders thereunder agreed to provide Liberty Puerto Rico with a $145.0 million second lien term loan that matures on July 7, 2023 (“ Term Loan C ”). The Revolving Loan, which was undrawn as of March 31, 2015, and is available for general corporate purposes, including loans or distributions to certain other subsidiaries or affiliates of Liberty Puerto Rico.

On June 1, 2015, in connection with the acquisition of Choice, Liberty Puerto Rico, as borrower, entered into (i) an Additional Term B-1 Facility Joinder Agreement under the First Lien Agreement, pursuant to which the lenders thereunder made available to Liberty Puerto Rico an additional $235.0 million first lien term loan (“ Term Loan B-1 ”) and (ii) an Additional Term B-2 Facility Joinder Agreement under the Second Lien Agreement, pursuant to which the lenders thereunder made available to Liberty Puerto Rico an additional $32.5 million second lien term loan (“ Term Loan B-2 ,” and together with Term Loan B, Term Loan C and Term Loan B-1, the “ Term Loans ”),each under the Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility. The net proceeds from Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2 were used to fund the acquisition of Choice and related fees and expenses.

Term Loan B, which was issued at 99.5% of par, and Term Loan B-1, which was issued at 97.0% of par, bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.50%, and Term Loan C, which was issued at 99.5% of par, and Term Loan B-2, which was issued at par, bear interest at LIBOR plus 6.75%. Each Term Loan is subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.0%. The Revolving Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.50% and has a fee on unused commitments of 0.50% or 0.375% depending on the consolidated total net leverage ratio (as specified in the First Lien Agreement).

The Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility requires that members of the borrowing bank group (as specified therein) that generate not less than 80% of such group’s Consolidated EBITDA (as defined therein) in any financial year, guarantee the payment of all sums payable under the Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility. The Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility is secured (on a first lien basis, in the case of the First Lien Agreement and a second lien basis, in the case of the Second Lien Agreement) by pledges over (i) the Liberty Puerto Rico shares indirectly owned by Liberty Global and (ii) certain other assets owned by Liberty Puerto Rico. It is expected that Choice will become a guarantor under the Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility and that its shares will be pledged to secure the obligations of Liberty Puerto Rico thereunder (on a first lien basis, in the case of the First Lien Agreement and a second lien basis, in the case of the Second Lien Agreement).

The Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility contains customary restrictive covenants, prepayment requirements and events of default. Additionally, the Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility requires compliance with the following financial covenants: (i) the total net leverage ratio and (ii) the first lien net leverage ratio, each specified in the Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility. The Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility permits Liberty Puerto Rico to transfer funds to its parent company (and indirectly to Liberty Global) through loans, dividends or other distributions provided that Liberty Puerto Rico maintains compliance with applicable covenants.

The foregoing description of the Liberty Puerto Rico Bank Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements set forth in Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of



such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Restricted Payments, the making of any Permitted Acquisition, 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 (a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis (i) assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and (ii) assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated.
Section 1.10      Currency Generally .
(a)      For purposes of determining compliance under this Agreement with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder).
(b)      For the purposes of testing compliance with any ratios in this Agreement, Indebtedness of the Bank Group, any Permitted Affiliate Parent, Holdco and any other issuer of Holdco Debt originally denominated in any currency other than Dollars that has been swapped, directly or indirectly through one or more foreign exchange hedging transactions, into Dollars, will be taken into account at its Dollar equivalent using the effective exchange rate in the relevant foreign exchange hedging transactions;
(c)      Hedged Debt (as defined below), for purposes of determining compliance with any ratios in this Agreement, will be taken into account at its Dollar equivalent calculated using the same weighted average exchange rates for the relevant ratio period used in the profit and loss statements of the relevant accounts of the Bank Group, Holdco or any other issuer of Holdco Debt for calculating the Dollar equivalent of Annualized EBITDA denominated in the same currency as the currency in which that Hedged Debt is denominated or into which it has been swapped, as described below:
Hedged Debt ” means:
(i)      Indebtedness of the Bank Group, any Permitted Affiliate Parent, Holdco or any other issuer of Holdco Debt originally denominated in any currency other than Dollars in which the Bank Group, Holdco or any other issuer of Holdco Debt earns Annualized EBITDA (a “ functional currency ”) and that has not been swapped, directly or indirectly through one or more foreign exchange hedging transactions, into Dollars; and
(ii)      Indebtedness of the Bank Group, Holdco or any other issuer of Holdco Debt that has been swapped, directly or indirectly through one or more foreign exchange hedging transactions, into a functional currency.




Section 1.11      Letters of Credit .
Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Amount of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided , however , that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Amount of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
ARTICLE II.     
THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS
Section 2.01      The Loans .
(a)      The Term Borrowings . (i) Under the Additional Facility Accession Agreement, each Term Lender made a Term Loan which is continued as a Loan hereunder subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and (ii) subject to the terms and conditions set forth in any Refinancing Amendment providing for, as applicable, the making, exchange, renewal, replacement or refinancing of Term Loans, each Term Lender party thereto severally agrees to, as applicable, make, exchange, renew, replace or refinance Term Loans on the date specified therein in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such Term Lender’s Term Commitment as set forth therein. Amounts borrowed, exchanged, renewed, replaced or refinanced under this Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
(b)      The Revolving Credit Borrowings . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender with any Revolving Credit Commitment severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars pursuant to Section 2.02 from its applicable Lending Office to the Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the period from and including the Closing Date until the Maturity Date of such Revolving Credit Commitment, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans, shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b). Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein. Any revolving loans made under the Additional Facility Accession Agreement are continued as Loans hereunder.
Section 2.02      Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans .
(a)      Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Additional Facility Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice, on behalf of a Borrower, to the Administrative Agent ( provided that the notices in respect of the initial Credit Extensions may be conditioned on the consummation of the Closing Date Refinancing) which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (1) 1:00 p.m.



three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (2) 1:00 p.m. on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided that the notice referred to in subclause (1) above may be delivered no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date in the case of initial Credit Extensions. Each telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise specified in an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement in relation to any Additional Facility. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), 2.04(b), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise specified in an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement in relation to any Additional Facility. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the requesting Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing, a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) wire instructions of the account(s) to which funds are to be disbursed (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the amount to be disbursed to any particular account may be less than the minimum or multiple limitations set forth above so long as the aggregate amount to be disbursed to all such accounts pursuant to such Borrowing meets such minimums and multiples). The currency specified in a Commitment Loan Notice for an Additional Facility must be Dollars or such other currency as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Additional Facility Lenders under such Additional Facility. If a Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If a Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.
(b)      Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by a Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the later of 12:00 noon on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice and one hour after written notice of such Borrowing is delivered by the Administrative Agent to such Lender; provided , that , on the Closing Date (or with respect to any Additional Facility, as specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement), such funds may be made available at such earlier time as may be agreed among the relevant Lenders, the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transactions (or, in the case of any Additional Facility, the relevant transactions). The Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the relevant Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account(s) of the relevant Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided by the relevant Borrower to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent; provided



that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing under any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments is given by the relevant Borrower, there are Swing Line Loans or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowing, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to the relevant Borrower as provided above.
(c)      Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the relevant Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require by notice to the Borrower that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(d)      The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(e)      After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 10 Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that after the establishment of any new Class of Loans pursuant to an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, a Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment, the number of Interest Periods otherwise permitted by this Section 2.02(e) shall increase by 3 Interest Periods for each applicable Class so established.
(f)      The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
(g)      Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the relevant Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the relevant Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the relevant Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If the relevant Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit



to the relevant Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the relevant Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the relevant Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the relevant Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(h)      Upon receipt of a Committed Loan Notice for an Additional Facility, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Additional Facility Lender of the aggregate amount of the Additional Facility Borrowing and of the amount of such Additional Facility Lender’s pro rata portion thereof, which shall be based on their respective Additional Facility Commitment. Each Additional Facility Lender will make the amount of its pro rata portion of the Additional Facility Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Borrower at the New York office of the Administrative Agent specified on Schedule 10.02 prior to the time specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.
(i)      No more than one Committed Loan Notice may be made under each Additional Facility unless an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement specifies otherwise, in which case the maximum number of requests for Additional Facility Loans under that Additional Facility will be as set out in that Additional Facility Joinder Agreement.
(j)      Unless the Administrative Agent agrees otherwise, or unless otherwise agreed in the Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, no more than five Additional Facility Loans may be outstanding at any one time under each Additional Facility (other than Additional Facilities that are Revolving Credit Loans).
Section 2.03      Letters of Credit .
(a)      The Letter of Credit Commitment . (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from and including the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit at sight denominated in an Available Currency for the account of a Borrower ( provided that any Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of a Borrower and may be issued for the joint and several account of a Borrower and a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent otherwise permitted by this Agreement) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit and (B) the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Participating Revolving Credit Lender would exceed such Lender’s Participating Revolving Credit Commitment or (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly a Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
(ii)      An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A)      any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any



Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder);
(B)      subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless (1) each Appropriate Lender has approved of such expiration date or (2) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer;
(C)      the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (1) each Appropriate Lender has approved such expiry date or (2) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent;
(D)      the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; and
(E)      any Participating Revolving Credit Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the relevant Borrower to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by such Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations.
(ii)      An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the expiry date of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars must be approved by the relevant L/C Issuer in its sole discretion even if it is less than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal and any Auto-Extension Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be issued only at the relevant L/C Issuer’s sole discretion.
(b)      Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.
(i)      Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably



satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (g) the Available Currency in which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued will be denominated; and (h) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request.
(ii)      Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the relevant Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the relevant L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of that Borrower (and, if applicable, its applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Participating Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii)      If a Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “ Auto-Extension Letter of Credit ”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “ Non-extension Notice Date ”) in each such twelve month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date that is, unless the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer, not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Participating Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied.
(iv)      Promptly after issuance of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)      Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations . (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C



Issuer shall notify promptly the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 12:00 noon on the second Business Day following any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit with notice to that Borrower (each such date, an “ Honor Date ”), that Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in Dollars (it being understood that in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Available Currency other than Dollars, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined by taking the Dollar Amount of such Letter of Credit); provided that if such reimbursement is not made on the date of drawing, the Borrower shall pay interest to the relevant L/C Issuer on such amount at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable Participating Revolving Credit Commitments (without duplication of interest payable on L/C Borrowings). The L/C Issuer shall notify that Borrower of the Dollar Amount of the drawing promptly following the determination or revaluation thereof. If that Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the Dollar Amount thereof in the case of an Available Currency other than Dollars) (the “ Unreimbursed Amount ”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof. In such event, that Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments of the Appropriate Lenders and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii)      Each Appropriate Lender (including any Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer in Dollars at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Appropriate Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan under the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments to a Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer.
(iii)      With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, a Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Appropriate Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv)      Until each Appropriate Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer.



(v)      Each Participating Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article IV; (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Loan Parties; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Issuer; or (E) any other circumstance, occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Participating Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the relevant Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the relevant Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi)      If any Participating Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Participating Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)      Repayment of Participations .
(i)      If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Participating Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or any Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the Dollar Amount received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)      If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Appropriate Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.
(e)      Obligations Absolute . The obligation of the Company or any Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:



(i)      any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii)      the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)      any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv)      any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
(v)      any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or
(vi)      any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party;
(f)      Role of L/C Issuers . Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Lenders holding a majority of the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude a Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to that Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, punitive or exemplary, damages suffered by that Borrower which that Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C



Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit, in each case as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g)      Cash Collateral . (i) If, as of any Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any applicable Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, (ii) if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Lenders holding a majority of the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, require the Company or a Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02 or (iii) if an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs and is continuing, the Company or that Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all of its (or, in the case of clause (i), the applicable) L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default or the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), (1) the Business Day that a Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that a Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (iii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Company or a Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). For purposes hereof, “ Cash Collateralize ” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the Appropriate Lenders, as collateral for the relevant L/C Obligations, a fund participation with respect to L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances or, if the Administrative Agent and each applicable L/C Issuer shall agree, in their sole discretion, other credit support, in each case (“ Cash Collateral ”) pursuant to documentation in form, amount and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Appropriate Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at the Administrative Agent and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are expressly subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all relevant L/C Obligations, a Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of



Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the relevant Borrower. To the extent any Event of Default giving rise to the requirement to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) is cured or otherwise waived, then so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Cash Collateral pledged to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit shall be refunded to the relevant Borrower. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Company or a Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. In addition, the Administrative Agent may request at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral that additional Cash Collateral be provided by the Company or a Borrower in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in currencies other than Dollars.
(h)      Letter of Credit Fees . The Company or a Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Participating Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum Dollar Amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit); provided , however , any Letter of Credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such Letter of Credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(i)      Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers . The Company shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the maximum Dollar Amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum Dollar Amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit). Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Company shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account with respect to each Letter of Credit the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.
(j)      Conflict with Letter of Credit Application . Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.



(k)      Addition of an L/C Issuer . A Revolving Credit Lender reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent may become an additional L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent and such Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional L/C Issuer.
(l)      [Reserved].
(m)      Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments . If the Maturity Date in respect of any Participating Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other Participating Revolving Credit Commitments are then in effect (or will automatically be in effect upon such maturity), such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.03(c) and (d)) under (and ratably participated in by Participating Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to) the non-terminating Participating Revolving Credit Commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Participating Revolving Credit Commitments continuing at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i) and unless provisions reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer for the treatment of such Letter of Credit as a letter of credit under a successor credit facility have been agreed upon, the Company shall, on or prior to the applicable Maturity Date, cause all such Letters of Credit to be replaced and returned to the applicable L/C Issuer undrawn and marked “cancelled” or to the extent that the Company is unable to so replace and return any Letter(s) of Credit, such Letter(s) of Credit shall be secured by a “back to back” letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or the Company shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(g). Commencing with the Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be in an amount agreed solely with the L/C Issuer.
(n)      Letter of Credit Reports . For so long as any Letter of Credit issued by an L/C Issuer is outstanding, such L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of each calendar month, and on each date that an L/C Credit Extension occurs with respect to any such Letter of Credit, a report in the form of Exhibit L , appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.
(o)      Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries . Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
Section 2.04      Swing Line Loans .
(a)      The Swing Line . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars to a Borrower (each such loan, a “ Swing Line Loan ”), from time to time on any Business Day during the period beginning on the Business Day after the Closing Date until the date which is one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date of the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments (taking into account the Maturity Date of any Participating Revolving Credit Commitment that will automatically come into effect on such Maturity Date) in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any



time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of the Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan (i) the Revolving Credit Exposure under such Participating Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate Participating Revolving Credit Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Participating Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; provided , further , that a Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, a Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Participating Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b)      Borrowing Procedures . Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon a Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $1,000,000 (and any amount in excess of $1,000,000 shall be an integral multiple of $100,000) and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of that Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice (by telephone or in writing), the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to that Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.04 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan at a time when a Participating Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swing Line Loans, including by Cash Collateralizing, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender to support, such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans. A Borrower shall repay to the Swing Line Lender each Defaulting Lender’s portion (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) of each Swing Line Loan promptly following demand by the Swing Line Lender.



(c)      Refinancing of Swing Line Loans .
(i)      The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of a Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Participating Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the amount of Swing Line Loans of that Borrower then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Participating Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Participating Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Participating Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan, as applicable, to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. Upon the remission by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender of the full amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice, that Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid the applicable Swing Line Loan.
(ii)      If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Participating Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii)      If any Participating Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. If such Participating Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan including in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)      Each Participating Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, a Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the failure to satisfy any condition in Article IV, (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Loan Parties, (D) any breach of this Agreement, or (E) any other occurrence,



event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Participating Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) (but not to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay the applicable Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d)      Repayment of Participations .
(i)      At any time after any Participating Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii)      If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Participating Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.
(e)      Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender . The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the relevant Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Participating Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f)      Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender . A Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
(g)      Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments . If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any Participating Revolving Credit Commitments (the “ Expiring Credit Commitment ”) at a time when other Participating Revolving Credit Commitments are in effect (or will automatically be in effect upon such maturity) with a longer maturity date (each a “ non-Expiring Credit Commitment ” and collectively, the “ non-Expiring Credit Commitments ”), then each outstanding Swing Line Loan on the earliest occurring Maturity Date shall be deemed reallocated to the non-Expiring Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (x) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate credit exposure to exceed the aggregate amount of such non-Expiring Credit Commitments, immediately prior to such reallocation (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Credit Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.03(m)) the amount of Swing Line Loans to be reallocated equal to such excess shall be repaid or cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall still be obligated to pay Swing Line Loans allocated to the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders holding the Expiring Credit Commitments at the Maturity Date of the Expiring Credit Commitment or if the Loans have been accelerated prior to the Maturity Date of the Expiring Credit Commitment.



Section 2.05      Prepayments .
(a)      Optional . (i) The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by the Company, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class or Classes of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans of any Class or Classes in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(vi); provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:30 a.m. (New York City time) (A) two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent) and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be, as set forth in Section 2.05(c), accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. In the case of each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a), the Company may in its sole discretion select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid, and such payment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement.
(ii)      The Company may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(iii)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.
(iv)      Voluntary prepayments of any Class of Term Loans permitted pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) shall be applied in a manner determined at the discretion of the Company and specified in the notice of prepayment.

(ii)      If (1) any member of the Bank Group or the Company Disposes of any property or assets (other than (I) the first $20,000,000 of each Content Transaction or (II) any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(b)(i) to 7.05(b)(xxxv)) or (2) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the realization or receipt by any member of the Bank Group of Net Proceeds, the Borrowers shall cause to be prepaid on the date of the realization or receipt by any member of the Bank Group of such Net Proceeds (or, in the event of Net Proceeds which may be reinvested pursuant to the definition thereof, on the date such reinvestment period expires), subject to clause (b)(vii) of this Section 2.05, an aggregate principal amount of Loans in an amount to ensure that the Company would not be in breach of the Financial Covenants on a Pro Forma Basis as of the most recent Compliance Date after taking into account such Dispositions and prepayments (but ignoring such Net Proceeds for purposes of determining compliance); provided that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Company (or any Restricted Subsidiary) is required to offer to repurchase Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations under Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans required to be secured on a first lien basis) pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net proceeds of such Disposition or Casualty Event (such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt (or Permitted Refinancing thereof) required to be offered to be so repurchased, “ Other Applicable Indebtedness ”), then the Borrowers may apply such Net Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be reduced accordingly; provided , further , that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof; and provided further that no such prepayment under this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be required where the amount of any such prepayment would be less than the greater of $50,000,000 and 2.0% of Total Assets.
(iii)      If any member of the Bank Group incurs or issues any Indebtedness after the Closing Date not permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the Borrowers shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date of receipt by such member of the Bank Group of such Net Proceeds.
(iv)      If any Borrower incurs or issues any Refinancing Loans (or Refinancing Equivalent Debt) resulting in Net Proceeds (as opposed to such Refinancing Loans or Refinancing Equivalent Debt arising out of an exchange of existing Term Loans for such Refinancing Loans or Refinancing Equivalent Debt), such Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal



amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt by such Borrower of such Net Proceeds.
(v)      If for any reason the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations at any time exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers shall promptly prepay Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(v) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans such aggregate Outstanding Amount exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.
(vi)      Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b) (A) shall be applied either (x) ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding or (y) as requested by the Company in the notice delivered pursuant to clause (vii) below, to any Class or Classes of Term Loans with a Maturity Date preceding the Maturity Date of the remaining Classes of Term Loans then outstanding, (B) shall be applied, with respect to each such Class for which prepayments will be made, in a manner determined at the discretion of the Company in the applicable notice and (C) shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share provided by this Agreement) of each such Class of Term Loans, subject to clause (vii) of this Section 2.05(b). Notwithstanding clause (A) above, (1) in the case of prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iv), such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with this clause (vi) solely to those applicable Classes of Term Loans selected by the Company and specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment or notice (i.e., the applicable Refinanced Debt or Refinanced Term Loans) and (2) any Additional Facility Joinder Agreement or Extension Amendment may provide (including on an optional basis as elected by the Company) for a less than ratable application of prepayments to any Class of Term Loans established thereunder.
(vii)      The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent). Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the aggregate amount of such prepayment to be made by the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Company’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “ Declined Proceeds ”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “ Rejection Notice ”) to the Administrative Agent and the Company no later than 5:00 p.m. one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection 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. Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered to the Term Lenders not so declining such prepayment on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amounts of the Term Loans of such Lender (with such non-declining Term Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent). To the extent such non-declining Term Lenders elect to decline their Pro Rata Share of such Declined Proceeds, any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall, after application towards any mandatory prepayment of Second Lien Term Loans, be retained by the Company (such remaining Declined Proceeds, the “ Company Retained Prepayment Amounts ”).



(viii)      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (“ Foreign Disposition ”), the Net Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “ Foreign Casualty Event ”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Company hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and an amount equal to such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or any Foreign Casualty Event attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would have material adverse tax consequences (as determined in good faith by the Company) with respect to such Net Proceeds, such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.
(ix)      Upon becoming aware of a Change of Control:
(A)      The Company or, after a Permitted Affiliate Group Designation Date, a Permitted Affiliate Parent, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent; and
(B)      if the Required Lenders so require, the Administrative Agent shall, by not less than 30 Business Days’ notice to the Company, cancel each Facility and declare all outstanding Borrowings, together with accrued interest and all other relevant amounts accrued under the Loan Documents immediately due and payable, whereupon each Facility will be cancelled and all such outstanding amounts will become immediately due and payable.
(c)      Interest Funding Losses, Etc . (xvii) Except to the extent otherwise agreed by each Lender so being prepaid, all prepayments of Loans (other than any Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan and any Swing Line Loan) shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through but not including the date of such prepayment, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.
(ii)      So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05 (but excluding prepayments required under Section 2.05(b)(iv)), prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Company may, in its sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Company or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event



of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Company or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05. Such deposit shall be deemed to be a prepayment of such Loans by the Company for all purposes under this Agreement.
Section 2.06      Termination or Reduction of Commitments .
(a)      Optional . A Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000, or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire amount thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of any such Revolving Credit Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by a Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of any Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.
(b)      Mandatory . The Term B Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the funding of Term B Loans to be made by it on the Closing Date.

The Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Maturity Date for the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (x) the foregoing shall not release any Revolving Credit Lender from any liability it may have for its failure to fund Revolving Credit Loans, L/C Advances or participations in Swing Line Loans that were required to be funded by it on or prior to such Maturity Date and (y) the foregoing will not release any Revolving Credit Lender from any obligation to fund its portion of L/C Advances or participations in Swing Line Loans with respect to Letters of Credit issued or Swing Line Loans made prior to such Maturity Date. Each Additional Facility Commitment shall terminate on the date specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement.
(c)      Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees . The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

The commitment fee on each Class of Revolving Credit Commitments shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date for such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date during the first full fiscal quarter to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(e)      Other Fees . The Company shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.

Section 2.10      Computation of Interest and Fees.
All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate or the prime rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days, or three hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. In computing interest on any Loan, the day such Loan is made or converted to a Loan of a different Type shall be included and the date such Loan is repaid or



converted to a Loan of a different type, as the case may be, shall be excluded. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 2.11      Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a)      The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Company, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b)      In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
(c)      Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 2.12      Payments Generally .
(a)      All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m.



shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b)      If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c)      Unless a Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:
(i)      if a Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and
(ii)      if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to a Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “ Compensation Period ”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d)      If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.



(e)      The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.
(f)      Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
(g)      Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may (to the fullest extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law), but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.
Section 2.13      Sharing of Payments . If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein or required by court order, any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal or interest on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of any principal or interest on such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the



absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

(subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.
(d)      Extension Amendment . Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “ Extension Amendment ”) to this Agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.16(a) or (b) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date (conformed as appropriate) other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.07 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans required to be paid thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.07), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.05 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) address technical issues relating to funding and payments and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.
(e)      No conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension in accordance with this Section 2.16 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 2.16 will be construed to limit the provisions in Section 2.14.
Section 2.17      Defaulting Lenders .
(a)      Adjustments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)      Waivers and Amendments . That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.



(ii)      Reallocation of Payments . Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second , to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third , if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth , as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth , if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh , so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth , to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made 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 Borrowings 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 Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)      Certain Fees . That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).
(iv)      Reallocation of Pro Rata Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure . During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Pro Rata Share” of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations shall be computed without giving effect to the Participating Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Participating Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of that Non-Defaulting Lender under such Participating Revolving Credit Commitments.



(b)      Defaulting Lender Cure . If the Company, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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 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 Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that 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.
ARTICLE III.     
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
Section 3.01      Taxes .
(a)      Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments made by or on account of each Borrower (the term Borrower under Article III being deemed to include any Subsidiary for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued) or Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by any Law. If any Borrower, any Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each Lender (or, in the case of a payment made to an Agent for its own account, such Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), if any Borrower or any Guarantor is the applicable withholding agent, it shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence acceptable to such Agent or Lender.
(b)      In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording Taxes, imposed by any Governmental Authority, which arise from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document excluding, in each case, any such Tax imposed as a result of an Agent or Lender’s Assignment and Assumption, grant of a participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document (collectively, “ Assignment Taxes ”), except for Assignment Taxes resulting from assignment or participation that is requested or required in writing by each Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “ Other Taxes ”).
(c)      Each Borrower and each Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes payable by such Agent or such Lender (including



Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) and (ii) any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by such Agent or Lender (or by an Agent on behalf of such Lender), accompanied by a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)      Each Lender and Agent shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide that Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by that Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. Each such Lender and Agent shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly and on or before the date such documentation expires, becomes obsolete or inaccurate to that Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by that Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify that Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. Unless the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Lender are not subject to withholding Tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (d), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this clause (d) that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. Without limiting the foregoing:
(i)      Each Lender that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑9 (or any successor forms) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding provided, however, that if the Lender is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it shall provide the appropriate withholding form of its owner (together with supporting documentation).
(ii)      Each Lender that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)      two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN or W‑8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(B)      two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI (or any successor forms),
(C)      in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (any such certificate a “ United States Tax Compliance Certificate ”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN or W‑8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms),



(D)      to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership, or is a Participant holding a participation granted by a participating Lender), IRS Form W‑8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W‑8ECI, W‑8BEN, W 8BEN E, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W‑9, Form W‑8IMY or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable ( provided that, if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such partner(s)), or
(E)      two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents.
(iii)      Each Agent that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑9 with respect to fees received for its own account, certifying that such Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Each Agent that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI with respect to fees received for its own account.
(e)      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 Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Laws and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Laws and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this clause (e), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(f)      Any Lender or Agent claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall use its reasonable efforts to mitigate or reduce the additional amounts payable, which reasonable efforts may include a change in the jurisdiction of its Lending Office (or any other measures reasonably requested by the Company) if such a change or other measures would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(g)      If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnification or additional amounts paid by the Loan Party under this Section 3.01(g) with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund net of any



Taxes payable by any Agent or Lender on such interest); provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agree promptly to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. This Section shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.
(h)      For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 3.01 and the definition of “Indemnified Taxes”, include any L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender.
Section 3.02      Illegality.
If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law or its interpretation or application thereof has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Company shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate with respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Company shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment and conversion.
Section 3.03      Inability to Determine Rates.
If the Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount, currency and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the



cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
Section 3.04      Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Eurocurrency Rate Loan Reserves.
(a)      If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of a Change in Law, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing, participating in or maintaining Letters of Credit (or maintaining its obligations to participate in or issue any Letters of Credit), or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (including any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or (ii) Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes), including by imposing, modifying or holding applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(b) or the definition of Eurocurrency Rate), then from time to time within five (5) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
(b)      If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by it, or participations in or issuance of Letters of Credit by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Company will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, within five (5) days after demand by such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)      The Company shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loan of the Company equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financing regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans



of the Company, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice five (5) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.
Section 3.05      Funding Losses .
Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Company shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of:
(a)      any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Borrower on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b)      any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan of that Borrower on the date or in the amount notified by that Borrower;
including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
Section 3.06      Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation .
(a)      If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Company or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or issuing Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect; provided nothing in this Section 3.06(a) shall affect or postpone any Obligations of the Company or any Borrower or the rights of the Lenders under this Article III.
(b)      If any Lender requests compensation by the Company or any Borrower under Section 3.04, the Company or a Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another Interest Period, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(d) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.



(c)      Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than two hundred and seventy (270) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company or a Borrower of the event giving rise to such claim and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstance 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).
(d)      If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i)      to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii)      all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans (if possible), and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
(e)      If any Lender gives notice to the Company or a Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders under the applicable Facility are outstanding, if applicable, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans under such Facility and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments for the applicable Facility.
(f)      Any Agent or Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive on the absence of manifest error.

unreasonably withheld or delayed if such successor is a commercial bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000 that is a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1, and otherwise may be withheld at the Borrower’s sole discretion) at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f). If no successor agent is appointed by the Required Lenders prior to the effective date of the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders that is a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.06. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent, require the Administrative Agent to resign by giving five Business Days’ notice, in which case the Administrative Agent shall resign and the Borrower shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent acting through an office in the United States (without any Lender’s consent). The Borrower may exercise such right to replace the Administrative Agent twice during the life of the Facilities. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent. Upon resignation or removal, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or the removed Administrative Agent’s removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Any resignation by or removal of The Bank of Nova Scotia as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents



and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information 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.

Section 9.09      Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding .
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation 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 the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise
(a)      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 Obligations and all other 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 L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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 L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.
The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or



any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (h) of Section 10.01 of this Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.
Section 9.10      Collateral and Guaranty Matters .

Hedge Bank) and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 9.10(a) in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Collateral Documents.
(b)      Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank) and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent,
(i)      to release or 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 Section 7.01 to the extent required by the holder of, or pursuant to the terms of any agreement governing, the obligations secured by such Liens; and
(ii)      to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, if in the case of any such Subsidiary, such Person ceases to be a Material Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor or obligor in respect of any Senior Unsecured Notes, Senior Unsecured Refinancing, Subordinated Funding or Senior Secured Notes.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.
Section 9.11      Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements .
Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Guaranty or any Collateral Document, no Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Treasury Services Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank.
The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Subordination Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement and the Lenders acknowledge that any such intercreditor agreement is binding upon the Lenders.



Section 9.12      Withholding Tax Indemnity .
To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.01, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.12. The agreements in this Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 9.12, include any L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender.

Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Company Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.
(d)      Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders . The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Person, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.



Section 10.03      No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies .
No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuer; provided , however , that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided , further , that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.
Section 10.04      Attorney Costs and Expenses .
The Borrower agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the other Agents for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs, which shall be limited to Allen & Overy and one local counsel as reasonably necessary in any relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole (and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly situated) and (b) after the Closing Date, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all respective Attorney Costs, which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole and one local counsel as reasonably necessary in any relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly situated). The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within ten (10) days after written



demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided that, with respect to the Closing Date, all amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid on the Closing Date solely to the extent invoiced to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.04 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.
Section 10.05      Indemnification by the Borrower .
Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, Agent-Related Person, Lender, Arranger and Bookrunner and their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, agents, advisors and other representatives of the foregoing (collectively the “ Indemnitees ”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs but limited in the case of legal fees and expenses to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction, and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly situated) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (c) any actual or alleged Environmental Liability of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) (a “ Proceeding ”) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or whether or not such Proceeding is brought by any Borrower or any other Person and, in each case, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “ Indemnified Liabilities ”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, losses, damages, claims or out-of-pocket expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent or arranger or any similar role under any Facility and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement (except for direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive or consequential) damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, of any such Indemnitee), nor shall any Indemnitee, Related Indemnified Person, Loan Party or any Subsidiary have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date)



(other than, in the case of any Loan Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party, or which are included in a third-party claim, and for any out-of-pocket expenses related thereto). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten (10) days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided , however , that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, prepayments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements arising from any non-Tax claims.
To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under this Section 10.05 or Section 10.04 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(e).
Section 10.06      Payments Set Aside .
To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.07      Successors and Assigns .



(a)      The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (except as permitted by Section 7.02) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Assignee pursuant to an assignment made in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b) (such an assignee, an “ Eligible Assignee ”) and (A) in the case of any Assignee that, immediately prior to or upon giving effect to such assignment, is an Affiliated Lender, Section 10.07(k) or (B) in the case of any Assignee that is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Section 10.07(l), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or (i) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h); provided , however , that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may assign or transfer by participation any of its rights or obligations hereunder to (i) any Person that is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) a natural Person or a Disqualified Institution or (iii) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (except pursuant to Section 10.07(l)). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Company of any request by a Lender to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person that is on the Disqualified Institutions List or, to the extent it has knowledge, any Person that is an Affiliate of a Person on the Disqualified Institutions List; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the Disqualified Institutions List or any assignments to any Person that is the Disqualified Institutions List.
(b)      (i) Subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (a) above and the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (“ Assignees ”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except (1) in connection with a proposed assignment to any Disqualified Institution or (2) with respect to the consent of the Company for an assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loan) of:
(B)      the Company, provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for (i) an assignment of all or a portion of the Term Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (ii) other than with respect to any proposed assignment to any Person that is a Disqualified Institution, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, to any Assignee or (iii) an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or Section 10.07(l); provided that, other than with respect to any proposed assignment to any Person that is a Disqualified Institution, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment of the Term Loans unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(C)      the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or Section 10.07(l);



(D)      each applicable L/C Issuer at the time of such assignment; provided that no consent of the applicable L/C Issuers shall be required for any assignment of a Term Loan or any assignment to an Agent or an Affiliate of an Agent; and
(E)      the Swing Line Lender; provided that no consent of the Swing Line Lender shall be required for any assignment of a Term Loan or any assignment to an Agent or an Affiliate of an Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent any Lender is required to assign any portion of its Commitments, Loans and other rights, duties and obligations hereunder in order to comply with applicable Laws, such assignment may be made by such Lender without the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent, any applicable L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any other party hereto so long as such Lender complies with the requirements of Section 10.07(b)(ii).
(ii)      Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)      except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than an amount of $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans and $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that such assignments shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B)      unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, no Lender shall be entitled to effect any assignment or transfer which would result in the Assignee holding an aggregate participation of more than zero but less than (I) $5,000,000 in relation to any Revolving Credit Commitment or (II) $1,000,000 in relation to any Term Loans;
(C)      in relation to its participation in Revolving Credit Loans or an Additional Revolving Facility, (unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Borrower) no Lender shall be entitled to effect any assignment or transfer other than to the extent such transfers and assignments are on a pro rata basis as between the relevant Lender’s Commitment under the participation in outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or any Additional Revolving Facility.
(D)      the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); and
(E)      other than in the case of assignments pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis among such Facilities.



In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(c)      Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (1) other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, provided, however , that an Assignee will not be eligible for benefits under Sections 3.01 or 3.04 attributable to a Change in Law that is announced prior to the date of the transfer, except with respect to the amount of any benefits under Sections 3.01 or 3.04 that would have been available to the Assignor had the Assignor remained a Lender, and (2) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender; provided, that except as otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) 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 Section 10.07(e).
(d)      The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, and each notice of cancellation of any Loans delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or Section 10.07(l) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and the amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents 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 the Company, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.07(d) and Section 2.11 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of



Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders.
(e)      Subject to Section 10.06(f), any Lender, without consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, any Borrower or any Borrower Affiliate or its Subsidiaries, a Disqualified Institution or a Defaulting Lender) (each, a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Agents 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 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 or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (a) through (f) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that requires the affirmative vote of such Lender. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitations and requirements of those Sections (including Section 3.01(d)) applying to each Participant as if it were a Lender, and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, 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 ”). 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. The portion of any Participant Register relating to any Participant requesting payment from the Borrower or seeking to exercise its rights under Section 10.09 shall be available for inspection by the Borrower upon reasonable request 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register or with respect to the sale of participations to any Person that is on the Disqualified Institutions List.
(f)      A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent it results from a Change in Law after that Participant acquires the Participation.
(g)      Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure



obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “ Granting Lender ”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “ SPC ”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) such SPC and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof, shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) an SPC shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d) shall be delivered to the Granting Lender), but neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement except, in the case of Section 3.01, to the extent that the grant to the SPC was made with the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have a reasonable basis for withholding consent if an exercise by an SPC immediately after the grant would result in materially increased indemnification obligation to the Company at such time), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. If a Granting Lender grants an option to an SPC as described herein and such grant is not reflected in the Register, the Granting Lender shall maintain a separate register on which it records the name and address of each SPC and the principal amounts (and related interest) of each SPC’s interest with respect to the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder, which entries shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose any portion of such register to any Person except to the extent disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder are in registered form for United States federal income tax purposes.
(i)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.



(j)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender shall have identified a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender reasonably acceptable to the Company willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, except as expressly provided above. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).
(k)      Any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:
(i)      the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (an “ Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption ”);
(ii)      Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II;
(iii)      (A) each Affiliated Lender that purchases any Term Loans pursuant to clause (x) above shall represent and warrant to the selling Lender and the Administrative Agent (other than any other Affiliated Lender), or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made, that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders who elect not to receive such information) and (B) each Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that assigns any Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender pursuant to clause (k)(y) above shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company a customary Big Boy Letter;
(iv)      the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 30% of the original principal amount of all Term Loans at such time outstanding (such percentage, the “ Affiliated Lender Cap ”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio ; provided further that such cap shall not apply to Loans assigned to Affiliated Lenders where the assignment is in relation to a Qualifying Assignment;



(v)      as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this clause (k), the Administrative Agent and the Company shall have been provided a notice in the form of Exhibit E‑2 to this Agreement in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Term Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such.
Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender. Such notice shall contain the type of information required and be delivered to the same addressee as set forth in Exhibit E‑2 .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated Lender that has purchased Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (k) may, in its sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the relevant Borrower for the purpose of cancelling and extinguished such Term Loans. Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the relevant Borrower and (y) the relevant Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register.
(l)      Any Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Loan Party through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis or (y) notwithstanding Sections 2.12 and 2.13 or any other provision in this Agreement, open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis; provided further that:
(i)      if a Loan Party is the assignee, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, such Loan Party shall automatically be deemed to have contributed the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to a Borrower; and
(ii)      (a) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to a Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by such Borrower and (c) such Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register.
(m)      Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Class Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders and Required Class Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to Section 10.07(n), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall



have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action, and all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, Required Class Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) or all Lenders have taken any actions, except that no amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document shall, without the consent of the applicable Affiliated Lender, deprive any Affiliated Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any payment to which all Lenders of the applicable Class of Term Loans are entitled or affect an Affiliated Lender in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect on any Lender of the same Class of Term Loans.
(n)      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that) if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Company or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner such that all Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it in order to provide that all Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that has a disproportionate effect on such Affiliated Lender as compared to the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Term Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders.
(o)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Lender shall be entitled to assign or transfer any of its rights benefits or obligations under the Loan Documents in relation to the Revolving Credit Loans without the prior written consent of the Borrower, provided that no such consent shall be required in the case of any assignment or transfer:
(i)      by a Lender to another Lender an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(ii)      other than with respect to any proposed assignment to any Person that is a Disqualified Institution, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Company or any other Loan Party, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, to any Assignee.
(p)      The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans purchased by, or contributed to (in each case, and subsequently cancelled hereunder), any Borrower pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or (l) and the principal repayment installments with respect to the Term Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i) shall be reduced pro rata by the par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so purchased or contributed (and subsequently cancelled), with such reduction being applied solely to the Term Loans of the Lenders which sold such Term Loans.
Section 10.08      Confidentiality .
Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ managers, administrators, directors, officers, employees, trustees, partners, investors, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure



is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person (including any Governmental Authority regulating any Lender or its Affiliates), provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the Company prior to any such disclosure by such Person to the extent practicable (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or any self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the Company as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or any self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Company), to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be an Additional Lender, any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), or any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its obligations; (f) with the written consent of the Company; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 or becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party or their respective related parties (so long as such source is not known to the Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to be bound by confidentiality obligations to any Loan Party); (h) to any rating agency when required by it on a customary basis and after consultation with the Company (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries received by it from such Lender); (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder, under any other Loan Document or the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder; or (j) to the extent such Information is independently developed by such Person or its Affiliates so long as not based on Information obtained in a manner that would otherwise violate this Section 10.08.
For purposes of this Section, “ Information ” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that all information received after the Closing Date from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed confidential unless such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.
Section 10.09      Setoff .

from time to time, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor) owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have at Law.
Section 10.10      Interest Rate Limitation .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “ Maximum Rate ”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the relevant Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
Section 10.11      Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents .

The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means.
The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be



of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 10.12      Integration; Termination .

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
Section 10.13      Survival of Representations and Warranties .
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.

Section 10.14      Severability .
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

ARTICLE XI.     
GUARANTEE
Section 11.01      The Guarantee .
Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally irrevocably with the other Guarantors guarantees, as a primary obligor and not as a surety, to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of (i) the Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code and (ii) any other Debtor Relief Laws) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, the Borrower, and all other Obligations (excluding, with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor) from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Loan Party under any Loan Document or any Secured Hedge Agreement or any Treasury Services Agreement, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.



Section 11.02      Obligations Unconditional .
The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 11.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:
(i)      at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, to the extent permitted by Law, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(ii)      any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;
(iii)      the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or except as permitted pursuant to Section 11.09, any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(iv)      any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, an L/C Issuer or any Lender or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected;
(v)      the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.09; or
(vi)      any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including any creditor of any Guarantor).
The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and, to the extent permitted by Law, all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive, to the extent permitted by Law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the



Borrower or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.
Section 11.03      Reinstatement .
The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article XI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. Each Guarantor agrees it will indemnify the Secured Parties and each holder of the Guaranteed Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under Debtor Relief Law.
Section 11.04      Subrogation; Subordination .
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the irrevocable payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 11.05      Remedies .
The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.02) for purposes of Section 11.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 11.01.
Section 11.06      Instrument for the Payment of Money .
Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article XI constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.



Section 11.07      Continuing Guarantee .
The guarantee in this Article XI is a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
Section 11.08      General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations .
In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 11.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 11.10) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
Section 11.09      Release of Guarantors .
If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, (i) all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or property of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred to a Person or Persons none of which is a Loan Party or (ii) any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (any such Guarantor, and any Guarantor referred to in clause (i), a “ Transferred Guarantor ”), such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer or other transaction, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 10.05 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Collateral Document and, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents shall be automatically released, and, so long as the Borrower shall have provided the Agents such certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request, the Administrative Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 11.09 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Collateral Documents.
Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 11.09, the Guarantees made herein shall remain in full force and effect so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, any Loan or other Obligation (other than (i) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (ii) obligations under Treasury Services Agreements or obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Hedge Bank have been made) hereunder which is accrued and payable shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (unless the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or such Letter of Credit has been deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer).
Section 11.10      Right of Contribution .
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of



Section 11.04. The provisions of this Section 11.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
Section 11.11      Keepwell .
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of any Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 11.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 11.11, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 11.11 shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 11.11 constitute, and this Section 11.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Section 11.12      No Marshaling .
Except to the extent required by applicable law, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party will be required to marshal any collateral securing, or any guaranties of, the Guaranteed Obligations, or to resort to any item of collateral or any guaranty in any particular order, and the Secured Parties’ rights with respect to any collateral and guaranties will be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor irrevocably waives, and agrees that it will not invoke or assert, any law requiring or relating to the marshaling of collateral or guaranties or any other law which might cause a delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Parties' rights under this Guarantee or any other agreement.
Section 11.13      Election of Remedies .
Each Guarantor understands that the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties of certain rights and remedies contained in the Loan Documents may affect or eliminate the Guarantor's right of subrogation and reimbursement against the Loan Parties and that the Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability under this Guarantee. The Guarantors expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to pursue their rights and remedies with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations in any order or fashion they deem appropriate, in their sole and absolute discretion, and waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment, or loss of any or all rights of recourse, reimbursement, contribution, exoneration or subrogation or any other rights or remedies of the Guarantors against the Borrower, any other person or any security, whether resulting from any election of rights or remedies by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties, or otherwise.
Section 11.14      Agent’s Duties .
The grant to the Agent under this Guarantee of any right or power does not impose upon the Administrative Agent any duty to exercise that right or power.



ARTICLE XII.     
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT
Section 12.01      Amendment and Restatement.
(i)      This Agreement amends and restates the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date.

Nothing herein shall be interpreted to constitute a novation or satisfaction of the Obligations (as defined in the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement), and the Obligations hereunder shall be deemed a continuation thereof and shall be entitled to the same collateral with the same priority as the Obligations under and as defined in the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement. Any payment or performance of any Obligation under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement or any Obligation described in this Agreement during any period prior to the Closing Date shall constitute payment or performance of such Obligation under this Agreement.

(b)    If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent has provided written notice to such Pledgor: (i) all rights of such Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights with respect to Pledged Equity Interests which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to such Pledgor, to transfer all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests to its name or the name of its nominee or agent and (iii) except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, all rights of the Pledgors to receive the dividends, other distributions and interest payments that they would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Equity Interests such dividends, other distributions and interest payments. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, without notice to such Pledgor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Pledged Equity Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, each Pledgor hereby grants to Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Equity Interests and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Equity Interests would be entitled (including, without limitation, giving or withholding written consents of holders of Pledged Equity Interests, calling special meetings of holders of Pledged Equity Interests and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Equity Interests on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Equity Interests or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Obligations.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement:
(a)     The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Secured Parties in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable law or in equity.
(b)     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Pledgors or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
(c)     Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold or to become the licensor of all or any such Collateral, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgors, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Debtor



Relief Laws (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Secured Party or Secured Parties in its or their respective individual capacities unless the requisite percentage of holders under the applicable Loan Document shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably to the Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their pro rata share of such Obligations. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of each Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waive (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
(d)     Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Pledgor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Pledgor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
(e)    Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deduct from any Proceeds received in respect of the Collateral all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies against the Collateral or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 5.2. Only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Pledgors. If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Pledgors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and the Pledgors shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgors waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder.




5.4     Effect of Securities Laws . Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Borrower to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Borrower would agree to do so.
5.5     Deficiency . Each Pledgor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 6. POWER OF ATTORNEY AND FURTHER ASSURANCES

(a)    Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without notice to or assent by such Pledgor, to do any or all of the following:

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b)    If a Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided , however , that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Pledgors and the Pledgors failing to promptly comply therewith.
(c)    Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due interest on the Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the Pledgors, shall be payable by the Pledgors to the Administrative Agent on demand.
(d)    Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Discharge of the Obligations.
6.2     Authorization of Financing Statements . The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Pledgor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or the other Security Documents or such other description as the Administrative Agent, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, this is a permissive right and does not relieve such Pledgor from its obligation as the party responsible for doing all things necessary to perfect the lien granted hereby including filing all financing statements and continuation statements.



6.3     Further Assurances . Each Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Pledgor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor shall:

(vii)    any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Obligations) at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that a Pledgor would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, each Pledgor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Pledgor under applicable law; and

(b)    The Administrative Agent has been appointed to act as Administrative Agent hereunder by the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent and the powers and duties and immunities of the Administrative Agent, are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of any other Loan Document.
8.2     Duty of Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of a Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to the Pledgors for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from their own gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to the Pledgors.
8.3     Exculpation of the Administrative Agent .
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or of any Security Document or the validity or perfection of any security interest or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to the Secured Parties or by or on behalf of any Secured Party to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in connection with the Security Documents and the transactions contemplated



thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of the Pledgors, the Borrower or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Security Documents or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.
(b)    Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the Security Documents except to the extent caused solely and proximately by the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action in connection herewith or any of the Security Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have been instructed in respect thereof by the requisite percentage of holders under the Credit Agreement and, upon such instruction, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such written instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Pledgors and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Security Documents in accordance with the Loan Documents or the instructions of the requisite percentage of holders under the applicable Loan Documents.
(c)    No direction given to the Administrative Agent which imposes, or purports to impose, upon the Administrative Agent any obligation not set forth in or arising under this Agreement accepted or entered into by the Administrative Agent shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent.
(d)    The Administrative Agent may resign at any time in accordance with the Loan Documents. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation in accordance with the Loan Documents, the provisions of Section 8 hereof and of the Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall promptly transfer all Collateral within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Administrative Agent (such transfer to be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the retiring Administrative Agent), and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the retiring Administrative Agent and each Pledgor, if such Pledgor is a party thereto, as may be necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the Administrative Agent in respect of the Collateral to the successor Administrative Agent.

All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Article 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to any of the Affiliates



of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agents, and shall apply to their respective activities as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent or Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or Affiliate of any such sub-agent shall be a third-party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third-party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Pledgors, the Borrower and the Secured Parties, and such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent or Affiliate acting in such capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such sub-agent or Affiliate selected by it with reasonable care, except for acts or omissions of any such person that result from fraud, wilful default or gross misconduct.
8.5     No Individual Foreclosure, Etc . No Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral except to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, 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. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
9.4     Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification .
(a)    Each Pledgor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Administrative Agent, forthwith upon any request therefor from time to time, for all its costs and expenses incurred in

(d)    The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
9.5     Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgors and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that the Pledgors may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and any such assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void, except in connection with any assignment or transfer permitted by the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and, in the case of a Secured Party that is a party to a Secured Hedge Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement, such Secured Hedge Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement, as applicable.

9.7     Severability . Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by and that the Agreement shall apply the laws of the State of New York with respect to the attachment of the security interest granted hereunder.
9.11     Waivers . Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:  
(a)    waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document executed or delivered in connection with the Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this section (and irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court);

or other damage as are necessary (in its reasonable judgment) to protect the Intellectual Property Collateral if such Pledgor determines (in its reasonable judgment) that it would be beneficial to do so. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and following written notice from the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder.

(a)      Section 2.3 of this Agreement constitutes a present, absolute, effective, irrevocable and complete assignment by Pledgors to Collateral Agent of the Leases and Rents and the right, subject to applicable law, to collect all sums payable to the Pledgors thereunder and apply the same as Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate to protect the security afforded by this Agreement (including the payment of reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the maintenance, operation, improvement, insurance, taxes and upkeep of the Mortgaged Properties), which is not conditioned upon Collateral Agent being in possession of any of the Premises. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. The Collateral Agent hereby grants to the Pledgors, however, a license to collect and apply the Rents and to enforce the obligations of Tenants under the Leases. Immediately upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced and without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the Obligations or solvency of each Pledgor, the license granted in the immediately preceding sentence shall automatically cease and terminate without any notice by Collateral Agent (such notice being hereby expressly waived by the Pledgors to the extent permitted by applicable law), or any action or proceeding or the intervention of a receiver appointed by a court.
(b)      Pledgors acknowledge that Collateral Agent has taken all reasonable actions necessary to obtain, and that upon notification to the corresponding Tenants of this assignment and security interest, Collateral Agent shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid first priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and in the case of security deposits, rights of depositors and requirements of law.

The Collateral Agent shall be accountable to the Pledgors only for Rents actually received by the Collateral Agent. The collection of such Rents and the application thereof shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or waive, modify or affect notice of Event of Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
(b)      The Pledgors hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Tenant under each Lease to rely upon and comply with any and all notices or demands from the Collateral Agent for payment of Rents to the Collateral Agent, and the Pledgors shall have no claim against any Tenant for Rents paid by such Tenant to the Collateral Agent pursuant to such notice or demand.

SECTION 8.6.      Relationship of the Parties . The relationship of the Pledgors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, hereunder and under the Other Security Documents is strictly and solely that of lender and borrower and mortgagor and mortgagee, and nothing contained in the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, the Other Security Documents or any other document or instrument now existing and delivered in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the Obligations is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance be construed as creating, a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever between the Pledgors and the Secured Parties other than as lender and borrower and mortgagor and mortgagee.

Subject to Section 14.17 hereof, (a) all Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control and (b) all Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Pledgor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 11.2.
SECTION 11.2.      Application of Proceeds.
All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder as a result of its exercise of the rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement shall be applied in or towards satisfaction of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents and Section 14.17 hereof.
SECTION 11.3.      Code and Other Remedies .
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and Section 14.17 hereof:
(a)     The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Secured Parties in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Pledged Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable law or in equity.
(b)     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Pledgors or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.



(c)     Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold or to become the licensor of all or any such Pledged Collateral, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgors, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Pledged Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Debtor Relief Laws (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Secured Party or Secured Parties in its or their respective individual capacities unless the requisite percentage of holders under the applicable Loan Document shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Pledged Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably to the Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their pro rata share of such Obligations. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of each Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waive (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
(d)     Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Administrative Agent may sell the Pledged Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Pledged Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Pledged Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Pledgor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Pledged Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Pledged Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Pledged Collateral.
(e)    Subject to Section 14.17 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall deduct from any Proceeds received in respect of the Pledged Collateral all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies against the Pledged Collateral or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Pledged Collateral or in any way relating to the Pledged Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.2. Only after such application and after the payment



by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Pledgors. If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Pledged Collateral upon credit, the Pledgors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Pledged Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Pledged Collateral and the Pledgors shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgors waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder.
SECTION 11.4.      Effect of Securities Laws . Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Securities Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Borrower to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Borrower would agree to do so.
SECTION 11.5.      Deficiency . Each Pledgor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 11.6.      Power of Attorney and Further Assurances: Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc.
(a)     Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without notice to or assent by such Pledgor, to do any or all of the following:
(i)    in the name of each Pledgor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys with respect to any Pledged Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Pledged Collateral whenever payable;



(ii)    pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Pledged Collateral, effect any repairs or purchase any insurance called for by the terms of the Credit Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iii)    execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 11.3 or 11.4, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Pledged Collateral; and
(iv)    (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Pledged Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Pledged Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Pledged Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Pledgors with respect to any Pledged Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (7) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Pledged Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and the Pledgors’ expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Pledged Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Pledgors might do.
Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and anything in this Section 11.6(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 11.6(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 11.6(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b)    If a Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Pledgors and the Pledgors failing to promptly comply therewith.
(c)    Subject to Section 14.17 hereof, the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 11.6, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due interest on the Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the Pledgors, shall be payable by the Pledgors to the Administrative Agent on demand.
(d)    Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Discharge of the Obligations.



SECTION 11.7.      Power of Attorney and Further Assurances: Authorization of Financing Statements.
The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Pledged Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Pledgor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or the other Security Documents or such other description as the Administrative Agent, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, this is a permissive right and does not relieve such Pledgor from its obligation as the party responsible for doing all things necessary to perfect the lien granted hereby including filing all financing statements and continuation statements.
SECTION 11.8.      Power of Attorney and Further Assurances: Further Assurances.
Each Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Pledgor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of any Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor shall:
(a)      file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;
(b)      at the Administrative Agent's request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Pledgor's title to or the Administrative Agent's interest in all or any part of the Pledged Collateral; and
(c)      furnish the Administrative Agent with such information regarding the Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, the location thereof, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time.

COLLATERAL ACCOUNT
SECTION 13.1.      Establishment of Collateral Account . The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain in the name of such Collateral Agent and pursuant to a Control Agreement, a restricted deposit account designated “Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico LLC Collateral Account.” Each Pledgor shall deposit into the Collateral Account from time to time all amounts required to be deposited in the Collateral Account by the Credit Agreement and any amounts specifically required to be deposited therein by any other Loan Documents.
The balance from time to time in the Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Pledged Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may in its discretion apply or cause to be applied the balance from time to time outstanding to the credit of the Collateral Account to the payment of the Obligations in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement.
The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Account. If any Pledgor is required hereunder to deposit an amount of cash collateral into the Collateral Account as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount together with interest income (if any) (to the extent not applied as provided herein or in any other Loan Document) shall be returned to such Pledgor within three Business Days after all Defaults or Events of Default have been cured or waived.
Deposits shall be invested in cash or Cash Equivalents, which, other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be invested in such cash or Cash Equivalents as the applicable Pledgor may request. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at Pledgors’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.
ARTICLE XIV
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 14.1.      Concerning Collateral Agent .
(a)      Authority of Collateral Agent .
(i)      Each Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as



agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Pledgors shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
(ii)      The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral Agent, including without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and the powers and duties and immunities of the Collateral Agent, are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of any other Loan Document.
(b)      Duty of Collateral Agent . The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral upon the request of a Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to the Pledgors for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from their own gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to the Pledgors.
(c)      Exculpation of Collateral Agent .
(i)      The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or of any Security Document or the validity or perfection of any security interest or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Collateral Agent to the Secured Parties or by or on behalf of any Secured Party to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in connection with the Security Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of the Pledgors, the Company or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Security Documents or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.
(ii)      Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Collateral



Agent under or in connection with any of the Security Documents except to the extent caused solely and proximately by the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action in connection herewith or any of the Security Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have been instructed in respect thereof by the requisite percentage of holders under the Credit Agreement and, upon such instruction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such written instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Pledgors and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Security Documents in accordance with the Loan Documents or the instructions of the requisite percentage of holders under the applicable Loan Documents.
(iii)      No direction given to the Collateral Agent which imposes, or purports to impose, upon the Collateral Agent any obligation not set forth in or arising under this Agreement accepted or entered into by the Collateral Agent shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent.
(iv)      The Collateral Agent may resign at any time in accordance with the Loan Documents. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation in accordance with the Loan Documents, the provisions of Section 8 hereof and of the Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all Pledged Collateral within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Agent (such transfer to be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the retiring Collateral Agent), and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the retiring Collateral Agent and each Pledgor, if such Pledgor is a party thereto, as may be necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent.
(d)      Other Security Documents . If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type (each, an “ Other Security Document ”), in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such Other Security Document, this Agreement shall control, subject to Section 14.17 hereof; provided, however, that if this Agreement is silent on a particular matter and such Other Security Document contains a provision or provisions relating to such matter, this Agreement shall not be deemed to be in conflict with such Other Security Document with respect to such matter; provided, further, that if there is a conflict between this Agreement and such Other Security Document with respect to a particular matter and the provision or provisions of this Agreement are contrary to the operation of law, the Other Security Document shall control.
(e)      Delegation of Duties . The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Security Document by or



through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Article 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to any of the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agents, and shall apply to their respective activities as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each sub-agent appointed by the Collateral Agent or Affiliate of the Collateral Agent or Affiliate of any such sub-agent shall be a third-party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third-party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Pledgors, the Company and the Secured Parties, and such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent or Affiliate acting in such capacity. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such sub-agent or Affiliate selected by it with reasonable care, except for acts or omissions of any such person that result from fraud, wilful default or gross misconduct.
(f)      No Individual Foreclosure, Etc. . No Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral except to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Pledged Collateral provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to credit bid all or any part of the Obligations held by it.
SECTION 14.2.      Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification .
(a)      Each Pledgor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Collateral Agent, forthwith upon any request therefor from time to time, for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Pledgor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Pledgor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Secured Party and of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to the Collateral Agent.
(b)      Each Pledgor agrees, forthwith upon any request therefor from time to time, to pay, and to save the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c)      Each Pledgor agrees, forthwith upon any request therefor from time to time, to pay, and to save the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent (including all indemnitees pursuant to the Credit Agreement), harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent such Pledgor would



be required to do so pursuant to the Loan Documents (it being understood and agreed that the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 14.2(c) shall apply to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to the same extent that they apply to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents).
(d)      The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 14.3.      Successors and Assigns; Continuing Security Interest . This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgors and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that the Pledgors may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and any such assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void, except in connection with any assignment or transfer permitted by the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and, in the case of a Secured Party that is a party to a Secured Hedge Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement, such Secured Hedge Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement, as applicable.
Each of the Pledgors agrees that its obligations hereunder and the security interest created hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor or otherwise.
SECTION 14.4.      Termination; Release .
(a)      (i) When all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full and the Commitments of the Lenders to make any Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement shall have expired or been sooner terminated and all Letters of Credit have been terminated or cash collateralized in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and (ii) upon the disposition of any Pledged Collateral by any Pledgor (other than a disposition to another Pledgor) permitted by, and in accordance with, the Credit Agreement, the pledge hereunder in respect of such Pledged Collateral only shall terminate and such Pledged Collateral shall automatically be released from the Lien of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement the Pledged Collateral shall automatically be released from the Lien of this Agreement. Upon such release or any release of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, assign, transfer and deliver to Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent except as to the fact that the Collateral Agent has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Collateral Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral, proper documents and instruments (including UCC‑3 termination financing statements, mortgage releases, property releases or other releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case may be.



(b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full and the Commitments of the Lenders to make any Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement shall have expired or been sooner terminated and all Letters of Credit have been terminated or cash collateralized in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, (ii) Obligations of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of Obligations (“ Remaining Obligations ”) remain outstanding and (iii) all or a portion of the repayment of the Obligations is financed by the proceeds of Indebtedness of one or more Loan Parties or any affiliate of a Loan Party (“ Refinancing Indebtedness ”) which Refinancing Indebtedness is secured by property of such persons, this Agreement shall terminate as if the Remaining Obligations have been paid in full and the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 14.4 shall apply concurrently with the incurrence of the Refinancing Indebtedness and the securing of the Refinancing Indebtedness and the Remaining Obligations on an equal and ratable basis. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Refinancing Indebtedness is not secured, this Agreement shall not terminate but shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 14.5.      Amendments in Writing . None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each Pledgor and the Collateral Agent, provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on a Pledgor may be waived by the Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents.
SECTION 14.6.      Notices . All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or the Pledgors hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement.
SECTION 14.7.      Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial . Sections 10.15 and 10.16 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis , as if a part hereof. Notwithstanding the above, each of the Pledgors agrees that in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Commercial Transactions Act, as amended, governs the attachment, constitution, perfection, priority or enforcement of the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent and a type of Collateral defined in this Agreement is not covered by the provisions of Chapter 9 of the Commercial Transactions Act, then the laws of the State of New York shall supplement the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico concerning the attachment, constitution, perfection, priority or enforcement, as applicable, of such security interest with respect to such property of a type that is outside of the scope of Chapter 9 of the Commercial Transactions Act but which is deemed Collateral under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by and that the Agreement shall apply the laws of the State of New York with respect to the attachment of the security interest granted hereunder.
SECTION 14.8.      Severability . Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.



SECTION 14.9.      Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic imaging means), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
SECTION 14.10.      Section Headings . The section headings and Table of Contents used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
SECTION 14.11.      Integration/Conflict . This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supercede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Parties relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or therein. The rights, immunities and indemnities granted in this agreement are in addition to those granted to the Collateral Agent in the other Loan Documents and not intended to limit the Collateral Agent's rights therein.
SECTION 14.12.      Business Days . In the event any time period or any date provided in this Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.
SECTION 14.13.      No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Imposition . Such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Credit Agreement, and such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Tax on the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.
SECTION 14.14.      Waivers . Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:  
(a)      waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document executed or delivered in connection with the Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this section (and irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court);
(b)      waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; and

(a)      it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;
(b)      no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Pledgors arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and
no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Pledgors and the Secured Parties.
SECTION 14.16.      Obligations Absolute . All obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(i)      any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any other Pledgor;
(ii)      any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any Hedging Agreement, any Treasury Services Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(iii)      any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any Hedging Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(iv)      any pledge, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations;
(v)      any exercise, non-exercise or waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof, the Credit Agreement, any Hedging Agreement, Treasury Services Agreement or any other Loan Document except as specifically set forth in a waiver granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.5 hereof; or
(vi)      any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor.
SECTION 14.17.      Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder are subject to the



provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement relating to the rights of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties under this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern (it being understood that the rights and obligations of Pledgors in respect of this Agreement are not modified by the Intercreditor Agreement).
SECTION 14.18.      Original Security Agreement.
This Agreement amends and restates the Original Security Agreement. The Obligations of the Pledgors under the Original Security Agreement and the grant of security interest in the Pledged Collateral by the Pledgors under the Original Security Agreement shall continue under this Agreement, and shall not in any event be terminated, extinguished or annulled or constitute an extinctive novation of the Obligations of the Pledgors under the Original Security Agreement, but shall hereafter be governed by this Agreement. All references to the term “Security Agreement” in any Loan Document (other than this Security Agreement) or other document or instrument delivered in connection therewith shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and the provisions hereof. It is understood and agreed that the Original Security Agreement is being amended and restated by entry into this Agreement on the date hereof.
SECTION 14.19.      No Release.
Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or from any liability to any person under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of such Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Pledgor contained in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith.

SECTION 14.20.      No Claims Against Collateral Agent.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the Collateral Agent, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim

(e)      To notify the issuer with respect to the Credit Security of the existence of the security interest created hereby and to cause all payments in respect thereof thereafter to be made directly to the Agent.
(f)      To sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the Credit Security or the proceeds thereof, as fully as the Pledgor otherwise could do.
(g)      To transfer to or to register in the name of the Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Credit Security. In addition, the Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Credit Security for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgor will at its expense render all reasonable assistance to the Agent in collecting on the Credit Security and in enforcing any claims thereon.

2.7.2.      Marshaling, etc . No Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Pledgor or any other guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. No Secured Party shall be required to marshal the Credit Security or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Credit Security or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Pledgor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Secured Parties, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws now or



hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of the Credit Security made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgor (a) agrees that it will not invoke or utilize any law which might prevent, cause a delay in or otherwise impede the enforcement of the rights of the Agent or any Secured Party in the Credit Security, (b) waives its rights under all such laws, and (c) agrees that it will not invoke or raise as a defense to any enforcement by the Agent or any Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Credit Security or the Obligations any legal or contractual requirement with which the Agent or any Secured Party may have in good faith failed to comply. In addition, the Pledgor waives any right to prior notice or judicial hearing in connection with foreclosure on or disposition of the Credit Security, including any such right which the Pledgor would otherwise have under the Constitution of the United States of America, any state or territory thereof or any other jurisdiction.
2.7.3.      Application of Proceeds . The proceeds of all sales and collections in respect of the Credit Security, all funds collected from the Pledgor and any cash contained in the Credit Security shall be applied in or towards the satisfaction of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
2.8.      Custody of Credit Security. Except as provided by applicable law that cannot be waived, the Agent will have no duty as to the custody and protection of the Credit Security, the collection of any part thereof or of any income thereon or the preservation or exercise of any rights pertaining thereto, including rights against prior parties, except for the use of reasonable care in the custody and physical preservation of any Credit Security in its possession. The Agent may delegate by power of attorney or in any other manner to any person any right, power or discretion exercisable by it under or in connection with this Agreement. The Lenders will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Credit Security, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any agent selected by the Agent, unless the selection of such agent itself was grossly negligent.
3. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants, on the date hereof, that:

Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party, unless it expressly agrees in writing, will have any liabilities or obligations under any contractual obligation that constitutes part of the Credit Security as a result of this Agreement, the exercise by the Agent of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise.
3.6.      Valid, Perfected First Priority Lien.

consents, exemptions, authorizations or other actions, notices or filings, the failure of which to obtain or make could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4. Covenants. The Pledgor agrees to be bound by the covenants set out in this Section.
4.1.      The Pledgor. The Pledgor shall give the Agent not less than 5 days prior written notice of any change of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization or any change of its name.

(a)      When all Obligations have been paid, performed and reasonably determined by the Lenders to have been indefeasibly discharged in full, and if at the time no Lender continues to be committed to extend any credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall terminate and, at the Pledgor’s written request, accompanied by such certificates and other items as the Agent shall reasonably deem necessary, the Credit Security shall revert to the Pledgor and the right, title and interest of the Lenders therein shall terminate. Thereupon, on the Pledgor’s reasonable request and at its cost and expense, the Agent shall execute proper instruments, acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Agreement, and shall redeliver to the Pledgor any Credit Security then in its possession.
(b)      Prior to the date when all Obligations have been paid, performed and reasonably determined by the Lenders to have been indefeasibly discharged in full, the Pledgor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement originally filed in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the Agent, subject to the Pledgor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.
6. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the Pledgor and its respective successors and assigns.

in exercising, or non-exercise, of any right or remedy under this Agreement is not a waiver of that right or remedy.
10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of this Agreement.
11. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

14. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interest granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement relating to the rights of the Agent or the Secured Parties under this Agreement, the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern (it being understood that the rights and obligations of Pledgor in respect of this Agreement are not modified by the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement).

Capitalized terms used in this Intercompany Note (this “ Note ”) but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, First Lien Credit Agreement or Second Lien Credit Agreement, as applicable. This Note is the Intercompany Note referred to in the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement.
This Note shall be pledged by the Borrower as Payee (i) to the First Lien Agent, for the benefit of the First Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties, pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents as collateral security for the full and prompt payment when due of, and the performance of, such Payee’s First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations and (ii) to the Second Lien Agent, for the benefit of the Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties, pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents as collateral security for the full and prompt payment when due of, and the performance of, such Payee’s Second Lien Credit Agreement Obligations.

Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is a Loan Party to any Payee that is not a Loan Party shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations of such Payor to the First Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties and to all Second Lien Credit Agreement Obligations of such Payor to the Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties; provided that each Payor may make payments to the applicable Payee so long as no Event of Default under and as defined in either the First Lien Credit Agreement or the Second Lien Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing (such First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations, Second Lien Credit Agreement Obligations and, in each case, other indebtedness and obligations in connection with any renewal, refunding, restructuring or refinancing thereof, including interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any proceedings referred to in clause (i) below, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding, being hereinafter collectively referred to as “ Senior Indebtedness ”):

remain outstanding (unless the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or such Letter of Credit has been deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer), any payment or distribution to which such Affected Payee would otherwise be entitled (other than equity or debt securities of such Affected Payor that are subordinated, to at least the same extent as this Note, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (such securities being hereinafter referred to as “ Restructured Securities ”)) shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness;
(ii)    (x) if any Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a) or 8.01(f) of either the First Lien Credit Agreement or Second Lien Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing and (y) subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, either the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent delivers notice to the Borrower instructing the Borrower that the First Lien Agent or Second Lien Agent, as applicable, is thereby exercising its rights pursuant to this clause (ii) (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given in the case of any Event of Default arising under Section 8.01(f) of the First Lien Credit Agreement or Second Lien Credit Agreement, as applicable), then, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent (as applicable) in its reasonable discretion, no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of any Affected Payor or any other Person on its behalf, and no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be received by or on behalf of any Affected Payee or any other Person on its behalf, with respect to this Note until (x) the applicable Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted, (B) Obligations under Treasury Services Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements and (C) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related to any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or been deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer) or (y) such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived;
(iii)    if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Securities), in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Affected Payee in violation of the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered in accordance with the relevant Collateral Documents, the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement; and
(iv)    Each Affected Payor agrees to file all claims against each relevant Affected Payee in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Senior Indebtedness and the First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent (collectively, the “ Collateral Agents ”) shall be entitled to all of such Affected Payor’s rights thereunder. If for any reason an Affected Payor fails to file such claim at least ten (10) days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Affected Payor hereby irrevocably appoints each Collateral Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and each Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Affected Payor’s name to file such claim or, in such Collateral Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of such Collateral Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the applicable Collateral Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the



full extent necessary for that purpose, each Affected Payor hereby assigns to each of the Collateral Agents all of such Affected Payor’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Affected Payor otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Affected Payor’s liability hereunder, the Collateral Agents shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement and applicable law. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement, as applicable), each Affected Payor hereby irrevocably appoints each Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of such Affected Payor’s voting rights in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of each relevant Affected Payee.
Except as otherwise set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, any Payor is permitted to pay, and any Payee is entitled to receive, any payment or prepayment of principal and interest on the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination of this Note by any act or failure to act on the part of any Affected Payor or Affected Payee or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any trustee or agent for such holder. Each Affected Payee and each Affected Payor hereby agrees that the subordination of this Note is for the benefit of each Collateral Agent, each L/C Issuer and the other Secured Parties. Each Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties are obligees under this Note to the same extent as if their names were written herein as such and each Collateral Agent (or other applicable Representative) may, on behalf of itself, and the Secured Parties, proceed to enforce the subordination provisions herein, in each case, subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. In the event that the Borrower incurs any Additional Senior Debt pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, all applicable references herein to the First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations, the First Lien Credit Agreement and the First Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the then outstanding Senior Obligations and all related Senior Debt Documents, respectively, and in the event that the Borrower incurs any Additional Second Priority Debt pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, all applicable references herein to the Second Lien Credit Agreement Obligations, the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the then outstanding Second Priority Debt Obligations and all related Second Priority Debt Documents.
The Indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is not a Loan Party shall not be subordinated to, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with, any other obligation of such Payor.
Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of such Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
Each Payee is hereby authorized (but not required) to record all loans and advances made by it to any Payor (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein. For the avoidance of doubt, this Note shall not in any way replace, or affect the principal amount of, any intercompany loan outstanding between any Payor and any



Payee prior to the execution hereof, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, from and after the date hereof, each such intercompany loan shall be deemed to incorporate the terms set forth in this Note to the extent applicable and shall be deemed to be evidenced by this Note together with any documents and instruments executed prior to the date hereof in connection with such intercompany Indebtedness.
Each Payor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note. Except to the extent of any taxes required by law to be withheld, all payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
It is understood that this Note shall evidence only Indebtedness and not amounts owing in respect of accounts payable incurred in connection with goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary course of business and not in connection with the borrowing of money.
This Note shall be binding upon each Payor and its successors and assigns, and the terms and provisions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of each Payee and their respective successors and assigns, including subsequent holders hereof.
From time to time after the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become parties hereto (as Payor and/or Payee, as the case may be) by executing a counterpart signature page hereto, which shall be automatically incorporated into this Note (each additional Subsidiary, an “ Additional Party ”). Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors, each Additional Party shall be a Payor and/or a Payee, as the case may be, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original signatory hereof. Each Payor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor or Payee hereunder. This Note shall be fully effective as to any Payor or Payee that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor or Payee hereunder.
Indebtedness governed by this Note shall be maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Payor or its designee (which shall, at the Administrative Agent’s request, be the Administrative Agent, acting solely for these purposes as agent of the Payor) shall record the transfer of the right to payments of principal and interest on the Indebtedness governed by this Note to holders of the Senior Indebtedness in a register (the “ Register ”), and no such transfer shall be effective until entered in the Register.
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 2.01      Subordination . Notwithstanding the date, time, manner or order of filing or recordation of any document or instrument or grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens granted to any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Parties on the Shared Collateral or of any Liens granted to any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party on the Shared Collateral (or any actual or alleged defect in any of the foregoing) and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, any applicable law, any Second Priority Debt Document or any Senior Debt Document or any other circumstance whatsoever, each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that (a) any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing any Senior Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall have priority over and be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations and (b) any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Second Priority Representative, any Second



Priority Debt Parties or any Second Priority Representative or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any Senior Obligations. All Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any Senior Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Borrower, any Grantor or any other Person or otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed.
Section 2.02      Nature of Senior Lender Claims . Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that (a) a portion of the Senior Obligations is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (b) the terms of the Senior Debt Documents and the Senior Obligations may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the Senior Obligations, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced from time to time and (c) subject to the proviso in the definition of Senior Obligations, the aggregate amount of the Senior Obligations may be increased, in each case, without notice to or consent by the Second Priority Representatives or the Second Priority Debt Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof.

As between the Borrower and the other Grantors and the Second Priority Debt Parties, the foregoing provisions will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower and the Grantors contained in any Second Priority Debt Document with respect to the incurrence of Additional Senior Debt Obligations.
Section 2.03      Prohibition on Contesting Liens . Each of the Second Priority Representatives, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority, allowability, or enforceability of any Lien securing any Senior Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any of the other Senior Secured Parties or other agent or trustee therefor in any Senior Collateral, and each Senior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Secured Party under the applicable Senior Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority, allowability or enforceability of any Lien securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any of any Second Priority Representative or any of the Second Priority Debt Parties in the Second Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Senior Representative to enforce this Agreement (including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior Obligations as provided in Section 2.01) or any of the Senior Debt Documents.
Section 2.04      No New Liens . The parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, (a) none of the Grantors shall (1) grant or permit any Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Second Priority Debt Obligation unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the Senior Obligations or (2) except as otherwise provided herein (including Section 2.06), grant or permit any Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Senior Obligation unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the Second



Priority Debt Obligations; and (b) (1) if any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party shall hold or otherwise be granted any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations that are not also subject to the first-priority Liens securing all Senior Obligations under the Senior Collateral Documents, such Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party (A) shall notify the Designated Senior Representative promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to each Senior Representative as security for the Senior Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Designated Senior Representative as security for all Senior Obligations for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties (but may retain a junior lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) and (B) until such assignment or such grant of a similar Lien to each Senior Representative, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each Senior Representative and the other Senior Secured Parties as security for the Senior Obligations or (2) if any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party shall hold or otherwise be granted any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Senior Obligations that are not also subject to the second-priority Liens securing all Second Priority Debt Obligations under the Second Priority Collateral Documents, such Senior Representative or Senior Secured Party shall notify the Designated Second Priority Representative promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to each Second Priority Representative as security for the Second Priority Debt Obligations, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each Second Priority Representative and the other Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties as security for the Second Priority Debt Obligations subject to the same priority as the other Liens of the Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties are so subordinated to the Liens of the Senior Secured Parties under this Agreement.  To the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, each Second Priority Representative agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Debt Parties, that any amounts received by or distributed to any Second Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.04 shall be subject to Section 4.02.
Section 2.05      Perfection of Liens . Except for the limited agreements of the Senior Representatives pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof, none of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Second Priority Representatives or the Second Priority Debt Parties. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties and shall not impose on the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives, the Second Priority Debt Parties or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of Proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Senior Debt Documents or Second Priority Debt Documents to the contrary, collateral consisting of cash and cash equivalents pledged to secure First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit or otherwise held by the First Lien Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(g), Section 2.17 or Article 8 of the First Lien Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor provision) shall be applied as specified in the First Lien Credit Agreement and will not constitute Shared Collateral.
Section 2.07      Similar Liens and Agreements . Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (including Section 2.06), the parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the Senior



Collateral and the Second Priority Collateral be identical. In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.13, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:
(a)     upon request by the Designated Senior Representative or the Second Priority Representative, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the Senior Collateral and the Second Priority Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Senior Debt Documents and the Second Priority Debt Documents; and
(b)     that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the Senior Collateral and the Second Priority Collateral and Guarantees for the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the senior and subordinate nature of the security interests in the Shared Collateral securing the respective Obligations thereunder.
ARTICLE III.     

Enforcement

In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Collateral, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Senior Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Shared Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

on behalf of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Second Priority Debt Parties.
(c)      Each Second Priority Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Second Priority Debt Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Debt Documents.

Should any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to take or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party (in its or their own name or in the name of the Borrower or any other Grantor) or the Borrower may obtain relief against such Second Priority Representative or such Second Priority Debt Party by injunction, specific performance or other appropriate equitable relief. Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Facility, hereby (i) agrees that the Senior Secured Parties’ damages from the actions of the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Debt Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and waives any defense that the Borrower, any other Grantor or the Senior Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages and (ii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action that may be brought by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party.
Section 3.04      No Additional Rights for the Grantors Hereunder . If any Senior Secured Party or Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Party shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, no Grantor shall be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any Senior Secured Party or Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Party, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any Senior Secured Party or Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrower and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents and applicable law so long as such rights and remedies do not violate any express provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Second Priority Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Shared Collateral. In the event any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second Priority Debt Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral.
Section 5.05      Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection .
(a)      Each Senior Representative acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior Obligations on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of such Senior Representative, or of agents or bailees of such Person (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “ Pledged or Controlled Collateral ”), or if it shall any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral,



the applicable Senior Representative shall also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous bailee for the benefit of, and on behalf of, the relevant Second Priority Representatives, in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.
(b)      In the event that any Senior Representative (or its agents or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property that is part of the Shared Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Shared Collateral, such Senior Representative agrees to hold such Liens as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for and on behalf of the relevant Second Priority Representatives and any assignee thereof, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.
(c)      Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under the Second Priority Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(d)      The Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Debt Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Representatives under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Second Priority Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Second Priority Representative.
(e)      The Senior Representatives shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, and each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases the Senior Representatives from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Senior Representatives’ roles under this Section 5.05 as sub-agents and gratuitous bailees with respect to the Shared Collateral.
(f)      Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each applicable Senior Representative shall, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, (i) (A) deliver to the Designated Second Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Senior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, or (B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the



insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (iii) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving any Grantor that the Designated Second Party Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding. The Borrower and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Senior Representative for loss or damage suffered by such Senior Representative as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by any such Person as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The Senior Representatives have no obligations to follow instructions from any Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Debt Party in contravention of this Agreement.
(g)      None of the Senior Representatives nor any of the other Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.
Section 5.06      When Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed To Not Have Occurred . If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Borrower or any Subsidiary enters into any Refinancing of any Senior Obligations, then such Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the agent, representative or trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be the Senior Representative for all purposes of this Agreement; provided , that (i) such Refinancing of such Senior Obligations is permitted pursuant to the terms of then extant Senior Debt Documents and Second Priority Debt Documents and (ii) the Representative for the holders of such Refinancing of such Senior Obligations shall have become party to this Agreement pursuant to, and by satisfying the conditions set forth in, Section 8.09 hereof. Upon receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new Senior Representative), each Second Priority Representative (including the Designated Second Priority Representative) shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements, including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Borrower or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Senior Representative the rights of a Senior Representative contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to such Senior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Second Priority Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, and (c) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving a Grantor that the new Senior Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.
Section 5.07      Purchase Right . Without prejudice to the enforcement of the Senior Secured Parties’ remedies, the Senior Secured Parties agree that following (a) acceleration of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement, (b) a payment default under



the First Lien Credit Agreement that has not been cured or waived by the Senior Secured Parties within ninety (90) days of the occurrence thereof or (c) the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding (each, a “ Purchase Event ”) with respect to the Borrower, within thirty (30) days of the Purchase Event, one or more of the Second Priority Debt Parties may request, and the applicable Senior Secured Parties hereby offer the Second Priority Debt Parties the option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the aggregate amount of outstanding Senior Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase at par (including by providing cash collateralization of 105% of the aggregate amount of outstanding L/C Obligations), plus any premium that would be applicable upon prepayment of the Senior Obligations and accrued and unpaid interest and fees, without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption (as such term is defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement)). If such right is exercised, the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the request. If one or more of the Second Priority Debt Parties exercise such purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the Senior Representative and the Second Priority Representative. If more than one Second Priority Debt Party has exercised such purchase right and the aggregate amount of all purchase right exercises exceeds the amount of the Senior Obligations, the amount with respect to which each exercising Second Priority Debt Party shall be deemed to have exercised its purchase right shall be reduced on a ratable basis according to the amounts of the original exercises of such purchase right by each such Second Priority Debt Party. If none of the Second Priority Debt Parties timely exercise such right, the Senior Secured Parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.07 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the Senior Debt Documents and this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI.     

Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings
Section 6.01      Financing Issues . Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any Senior Representative shall desire to consent (or not object) to the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to consent (or not object) to the Borrower’s or any other Grantor’s obtaining financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“ DIP Financing ”), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest (a) such sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral, unless a Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party shall oppose or object to such use of cash collateral (in which case, no Second Priority Representative nor any other Second Priority Debt Party shall seek any relief in connection therewith that is inconsistent with the relief being sought by the Senior Secured Parties); (b) such DIP Financing, unless a Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party shall oppose or object to such DIP Financing ( provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Second Priority Debt Parties from proposing any other DIP Financing that is either pari passu with or junior to the Senior Obligations to any Grantors or to a court of competent jurisdiction), and, except to the extent permitted by the proviso to clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a) and by Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (y) any adequate protection Liens provided to the Senior Secured Parties, and (z) to any “carve-out” for



professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Representatives provided that as the maximum amount of indebtedness that may be outstanding from time to time in connection with such DIP Financing (not including any Senior Obligations rolled up therein) shall not exceed an amount equal to 10% of the maximum amount of Senior Obligations permitted to be outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents (as in effect on the date hereof) on the date of the commencement of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (c) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations made by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, (d) any exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to credit bid Senior Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Collateral or otherwise under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (e) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral or (f) any order relating to a sale or other disposition of assets of any Grantor to which any Senior Representative has consented or not objected that provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties may assert any objection to the proposed bidding procedures or protections to be utilized in connection with any such sale or other disposition that may be asserted by any unsecured creditor of any Grantor, and provided, further, that the Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties are not deemed to have waived any rights to credit bid on the Shared Collateral in any such sale or disposition under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other applicable law, so long as any such credit bid provides for the payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that notice received two Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash or other collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice.
Section 6.02      Relief from the Automatic Stay . Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative.
Section 6.03      Adequate Protection . Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall (A) object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection, (b) any objection by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any Senior Representative’s or Senior Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (B) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional or replacement collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy



Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral or a superpriority claim, which (A) Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing all Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (B) superpriority claim is subordinated to all claims of the Senior Secured Parties, (ii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of additional or replacement collateral, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as security for the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement (and, to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Second Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral so granted to the Second Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02), and (iii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of a superpriority claim, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority claim, which superpriority claim shall be senior to the superpriority claim of the Second Priority Debt Parties (and, to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Second Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any such superpriority claim so granted to the Second Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Senior Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition interest, incurred fees and expenses, or other cash payments, then the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall not be prohibited from seeking adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition interest, incurred fees and expenses or other cash payments (subject to the right of the Senior Secured Parties to object to the amounts so sought by the Second Priority Debt Parties).
Section 6.04      Preference Issues . If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Borrower or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “ Recovery ”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such



Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise (it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement).
Section 6.05      Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications . Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Second Priority Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Debt Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable) before any distribution is made from the Shared Collateral in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations), and each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees to turn over to the Designated Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the Shared Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Debt Parties.
Section 6.06      No Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties . Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Debt Party, including the seeking by any Second Priority Debt Party of adequate protection or the assertion by any Second Priority Debt Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Debt Documents or otherwise.
Section 6.07      Application . This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights as to the Shared Collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or



use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.
Section 6.08      Other Matters . To the extent that any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, such Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, or such Second Priority Debt Party agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of each Senior Representative; provided that if requested by any Senior Representative, such Second Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Senior Representatives (acting unanimously), including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.
Section 6.09      506(c) Claims . Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral.
Section 6.10      Reorganization Securities .
(a)      If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Second Priority Debt Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.
(b)      No Second Priority Debt Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative or to the extent any such plan is proposed or supported by the number of Senior Secured Parties required under Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
Section 6.11      Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code . Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any Senior Secured Party to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any senior claimholder arising out of the election by any Senior Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.



Section 6.12      Post-Petition Claims .
(a)      No Second Priority Representative nor any other Second Priority Debt Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, costs, charges or expenses to the extent of the value of the Senior Representative’s Lien held for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Second Priority Representatives on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties on the Shared Collateral.
(b)      No Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Priority Debt Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, costs, charges or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Priority Representatives on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties on the Shared Collateral (after taking into account the Senior Obligations).
ARTICLE VII.     

Reliance; Etc.
Section 7.01      Reliance . All loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior Secured Parties to the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Second Priority Debt Parties have, independently and without reliance on any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Second Priority Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Second Priority Debt Documents or this Agreement.
Section 7.02      No Warranties or Liability . Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the Senior Debt Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Senior Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreement with the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including the Second Priority Debt Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to



each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectibility of any of the Senior Obligations, the Second Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
Section 7.03      Obligations Unconditional . All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(a)     any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document or any Second Priority Debt Document;
(b)     any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement or any other Senior Debt Document or of the terms of any Second Priority Debt Document;
(c)     any exchange of any security interest in any Shared Collateral or any other collateral or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee thereof;
(d)     the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or any other Grantor; or
(e)     any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to (i) the Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of the Senior Obligations (other than the Discharge of Senior Obligations subject to Sections 5.06 and 6.04) or (ii) any Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party in respect of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII.     

Miscellaneous
Section 8.01      Conflicts . Subject to Section 8.22, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Debt Document or any Second Priority Debt Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Senior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and in the event of any conflict between any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement as to such relative rights and obligations, the provisions of such First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control.
Section 8.02      Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability . Subject to Sections 5.06 and 6.04, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Debt Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any Subsidiary constituting Senior Obligations in reliance hereon.



The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 8.03      Amendments; Waivers .
(a)      No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 8.03(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

ARTICLE II

Priorities and Agreements with Respect to Shared Collateral
SECTION 2.01      Priority of Claims.
(a)      Anything contained herein or in any of the Secured Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.03), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Controlling Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Bankruptcy Case of the Borrower or any other Grantor or any First Lien Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Shared Collateral by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party on account of such enforcement of rights or remedies or distribution in respect thereof in any Bankruptcy Case or received by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement with respect to such Shared Collateral and proceeds of any such distribution (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to the sentence immediately following) to which the First Lien Obligations are entitled under any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “ Proceeds ”), shall be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment in full in cash of all amounts owing to each



Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such and, in the case of the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, in its capacity as First Lien Credit Agreement Administrative Agent) pursuant to the terms of any Secured Credit Document, (ii) SECOND, subject to Section 1.03, to the payment in full in cash of the First Lien Obligations of each Series on a ratable basis, with such Proceeds to be applied to the First Lien Obligations of a given Series in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Credit Documents and (iii) THIRD, after payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations, to the Borrower and the other Grantors or their successors or assigns, as their interests may appear, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. If, despite the provisions of this Section 2.01(a), any First Lien Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the First Lien Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Section 2.01(a), such First Lien Secured Party shall hold such payment or recovery in trust for the benefit of all First Lien Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with this Section 2.01(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than a First Lien Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of First Lien Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of First Lien Obligations (such third party, an “ Intervening Creditor ”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of First Lien Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.
(b)      Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of First Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the Secured Credit Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.03), each First Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Series of First Lien Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority.
(c)      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any Secured Debt Document or any other First Lien Security Documents to the contrary, Collateral consisting of cash and cash equivalents pledged to secure First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit or in respect of swing line loans or otherwise held by the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or pursuant to Section 2.03(g), 2.04(g) 2.17 or Article 8 of the First Lien Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor provision) shall be applied as specified in the First Lien Credit Agreement and will not constitute Shared Collateral.
SECTION 2.02      Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Contesting Liens.
(a)      Only the Controlling Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral). At any time when the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is the Controlling Collateral Agent, no Additional First Lien Secured Party shall or shall instruct any Collateral Agent to, and neither the Additional First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Collateral Agent that is not the Controlling Collateral Agent shall, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect



of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any Additional First Lien Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, acting in accordance with the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral at such time.
(b)      With respect to any Shared Collateral at any time when the First Lien Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is not the Controlling Collateral Agent, (i) the Controlling Collateral Agent shall act only on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative, (ii) the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not follow any instructions with respect to such Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral) from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other First Lien Secured Party other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) and (iii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other First Lien Secured Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall or shall instruct the Controlling Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any First Lien Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Controlling Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and in accordance with the applicable Additional First Lien Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral.
(c)      Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens securing each Series of First Lien Obligations with respect to any Shared Collateral, the Controlling Collateral Agent may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such Controlling Collateral Agent had a senior Lien on such Shared Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral, or to cause the Controlling Collateral Agent to do so. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any First Lien Secured Party, the Controlling Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.
(d)      Each of the First Lien Secured Parties agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) question or contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity, attachment or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative to enforce this Agreement.

(b)      In furtherance of the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Controlling Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the First Lien Security Documents, as applicable, pursuant to which the Controlling Collateral Agent is the collateral agent and/or administrative agent for such Shared Collateral, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of the First Lien Obligations held by such Non-Controlling Secured Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Controlling Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the First Lien Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Except with respect to any actions expressly prohibited or required to be taken by this Agreement, each of the First Lien Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of First Lien Obligations or any other First Lien Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which any Collateral Agent, Authorized Representative or the First Lien Secured Parties take or omit to take (including, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the First Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the First Lien Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the First Lien Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the First Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of First Lien Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, by the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any First Lien Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing holders of First Lien Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.

Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (1) 1:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (2) 1:00 p.m. on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided that the notice referred to in subclause (1) above may be delivered no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date in the case of initial Credit Extensions. Each telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum



principal amount of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise specified in an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement in relation to any Additional Facility. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise specified in an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement in relation to any Additional Facility. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) wire instructions of the account(s) to which funds are to be disbursed (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the amount to be disbursed to any particular account may be less than the minimum or multiple limitations set forth above so long as the aggregate amount to be disbursed to all such accounts pursuant to such Borrowing meets such minimums and multiples). The currency specified in a Commitment Loan Notice for an Additional Facility must be Dollars or such other currency as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Additional Facility Lenders under such Additional Facility. If a Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If a Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.
(b)      Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by a Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the later of 12:00 noon on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice and one hour after written notice of such Borrowing is delivered by the Administrative Agent to such Lender; provided , that , on the Closing Date (or with respect to any Additional Facility, as specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement), such funds may be made available at such earlier time as may be agreed among the relevant Lenders, the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transactions (or, in the case of any Additional Facility, the relevant transactions). The Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the relevant Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account(s) of the relevant Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided by the relevant Borrower to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent.
(c)      Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the relevant Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require by notice to the Borrower that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans.



(d)      The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(e)      After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 10 Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that after the establishment of any new Class of Loans pursuant to an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, a Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment, the number of Interest Periods otherwise permitted by this Section 2.02(e) shall increase by 3 Interest Periods for each applicable Class so established.
(f)      The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
(g)      Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the relevant Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the relevant Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the relevant Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If the relevant Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the relevant Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the relevant Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the relevant Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the relevant Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(h)      Upon receipt of a Committed Loan Notice for an Additional Facility, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Additional Facility Lender of the aggregate amount of the Additional Facility Borrowing and of the amount of such Additional Facility Lender’s pro rata portion thereof, which shall be based on their respective Additional Facility Commitment. Each Additional Facility Lender will make the amount of its pro rata portion of the Additional Facility Borrowing available to the



Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Borrower at the New York office of the Administrative Agent specified on Schedule 10.02 prior to the time specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.
(i)      No more than one Committed Loan Notice may be made under each Additional Facility unless an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement specifies otherwise, in which case the maximum number of requests for Additional Facility Loans under that Additional Facility will be as set out in that Additional Facility Joinder Agreement.
(j)      Unless the Administrative Agent agrees otherwise, or unless otherwise agreed in the Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, no more than five Additional Facility Loans may be outstanding at any one time under each Additional.

(a)      Optional . (i) The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by the Company, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class or Classes of Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(vi); provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:30 a.m. (New York City time) (A) two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent) and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be, as set forth in Section 2.05(c), accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. In the case of each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a), the Company may in its sole discretion select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid, and such payment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement.
(ii)      [Reserved].
(iii)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.



(iv)      Voluntary prepayments of any Class of Loans permitted pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) shall be applied in a manner determined at the discretion of the Company and specified in the notice of prepayment.
(v)      [Reserved].
(vi)      If any Initial Loans are voluntarily prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) or mandatorily prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii) or (iv), such prepayments shall be made at (x) 102% of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Loans prepaid if such prepayment occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Loans prepaid if such prepayment occurs on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date. If, prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, any Lender that is a Non-Consenting Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 3.07 in connection with any amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of this Agreement, the primary purpose of which is to reduce the All-in Yield applicable to the Loans, such Lender (and not any Person who replaces such Lender pursuant to Section 3.07) shall receive its portion (as determined immediately prior to it being so replaced) of the prepayment premium or fee described in the preceding sentence as if the Loans held by such Lender were voluntarily prepaid. Any amounts due to any Lender pursuant to this clause (vi) shall be due and payable on the date of such voluntary prepayment or effectiveness of such amendment for which such Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable.
(b)      Mandatory . (i) [Reserved].
(ii)      Subject to clause (x) of this Section 2.05(b), if (1) any member of the Bank Group or the Company Disposes of any property or assets (other than (I) the first $20,000,000 of each Content Transaction or (II) any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(b)(i) to 7.05(b)(xxxv)) or (2) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the realization or receipt by any member of the Bank Group of Net Proceeds, the Borrowers shall cause to be prepaid on the date of the realization or receipt by any member of the Bank Group of such Net Proceeds (or, in the event of Net Proceeds which may be reinvested pursuant to the definition thereof, on the date such reinvestment period expires), subject to clause (b)(vii) of this Section 2.05, an aggregate principal amount of Loans in an amount to ensure that the Company would not be in breach of the Financial Covenants on a Pro Forma Basis as of the most recent Compliance Date after taking into account such Dispositions and prepayments (but ignoring such Net Proceeds for purposes of determining compliance); provided that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Company (or any Restricted Subsidiary) is required to offer to repurchase Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations under Loans required to be secured on a pari passu lien basis with the Initial Loans) pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net proceeds of such Disposition or Casualty Event (such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt (or Permitted Refinancing thereof) required to be offered to be so repurchased, “ Other Applicable Indebtedness ”), then the Borrowers may apply such Net Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Loans and to the repurchase or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be reduced accordingly; provided , further , that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable



Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof; provided , further that no such prepayment under this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be required where the amount of any such prepayment would be less than the greater of $50,000,000 and 2.0% of Total Assets.
(iii)      If any member of the Bank Group incurs or issues any Indebtedness after the Closing Date not permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the Borrowers shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date of receipt by such member of the Bank Group of such Net Proceeds.
(iv)      If any Borrower incurs or issues any Refinancing Loans (or Refinancing Equivalent Debt) resulting in Net Proceeds (as opposed to such Refinancing Loans or Refinancing Equivalent Debt arising out of an exchange of existing Loans for such Refinancing Loans or Refinancing Equivalent Debt), such Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt by such Borrower of such Net Proceeds.
(v)      [Reserved].
(vi)      Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b) (A) shall be applied either (x) ratably to each Class of Loans then outstanding or (y) as requested by the Company in the notice delivered pursuant to clause (vii) below, to any Class or Classes of Loans with a Maturity Date preceding the Maturity Date of the remaining Classes of Loans then outstanding, (B) [reserved] and (C) shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share provided by this Agreement) of each such Class of Loans, subject to clause (vii) of this Section 2.05(b). Notwithstanding clause (A) above, (1) in the case of prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iv), such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with this clause (vi) solely to those applicable Classes of Loans selected by the Company and specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment or notice (i.e., the applicable Refinanced Debt or Refinanced Loans) and (2) any Additional Facility Joinder Agreement or Extension Amendment may provide (including on an optional basis as elected by the Company) for a less than ratable application of prepayments to any Class of Loans established thereunder.
(vii)      The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent). Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the aggregate amount of such prepayment to be made by the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Company’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “ Declined Proceeds ”) of Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “ Rejection Notice ”) to the Administrative Agent and the Company no later than 5:00 p.m. one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Loans to be rejected, any such



failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered to the Lenders not so declining such prepayment on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amounts of the Loans of such Lender (with such non-declining Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent). To the extent such non-declining Lenders elect to decline their Pro Rata Share of such Declined Proceeds, any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by the Company (such remaining Declined Proceeds, the “ Company Retained Prepayment Amounts ”).
(viii)      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (“ Foreign Disposition ”), the Net Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “ Foreign Casualty Event ”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Company hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and an amount equal to such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or any Foreign Casualty Event attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would have material adverse tax consequences (as determined in good faith by the Company) with respect to such Net Proceeds, such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.
(ix)      Upon becoming aware of a Change of Control:
(A)      The Company or, after a Permitted Affiliate Group Designation Date, a Permitted Affiliate Parent, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent; and
(B)      if the Required Lenders so require, the Administrative Agent shall, by not less than 30 Business Days’ notice to the Company, cancel each Facility and declare all outstanding Borrowings, together with accrued interest and all other relevant amounts accrued under the Loan Documents immediately due and payable, whereupon each Facility will be cancelled and all such outstanding amounts will become immediately due and payable.
(x)      Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.05 to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to make any mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) (other than pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iv)) (i) if such prepayment is prohibited by the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or (ii) prior to the First Lien Termination Date, except to the extent of, and not to exceed, the amount of Net Proceeds, as the case may be, consisting of amounts declined by (A) the First Lien Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(vii) of the First Lien Credit Agreement, (B) the holders of any debt under any First Lien Additional Facility or any First Lien Refinancing Equivalent Debt, in each case, constituting First Lien Obligations, or pursuant to equivalent provisions of the credit documentation governing such First Lien



Additional Facility or First Lien Refinancing Equivalent Debt or (C) the holders of any Permitted Refinancing of Indebtedness described under the foregoing clause (A) or (B), in each case, constituting First Lien Obligations pursuant to equivalent provisions of the credit documentation governing such Permitted Refinancing, which shall in each case be required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment hereunder (to the extent otherwise required herein) in an amount equal to the amounts so declined.
(c)      Interest Funding Losses, Etc . (i) Except to the extent otherwise agreed by each Lender so being prepaid, all prepayments of Loans shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through but not including the date of such prepayment, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.
(ii)      So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05 (but excluding prepayments required under Section 2.05(b)(iv)), prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Company may, in its sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Company or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Company or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05. Such deposit shall be deemed to be a prepayment of such Loans by the Company for all purposes under this Agreement.
Section 2.06      Termination of Commitments .
The Initial Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the funding of Initial Loans to be made by it on the Closing Date. The Initial Commitment of each Lender with respect to any Refinancing Facility or any Extension Series shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the funding of Loans to be made by it on the date set forth in the corresponding Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment.

Section 2.08      Interest .
(a)      Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)      During the continuance of a Default under Section 8.01(a), the Company shall pay interest on past due amounts owing by it hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; provided that no interest at the Default Rate shall accrue or be payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Accrued and unpaid interest on such amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c)      Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(d)      Each Additional Facility Loan shall bear interest at a rate specified in the Additional Facility Joinder Agreement.
Section 2.09      Fees .
(a)      Other Fees . The Company shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.

(b)      Additional Facility Fees . If specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of each Lender under the relevant Additional Facility) an upfront fee computed at the rate specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement on that Lender’s Commitment under that Additional Facility in accordance with the terms therein.
Section 2.10      Computation of Interest and Fees.
All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate or the prime rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days, or three hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. In computing interest on any Loan, the day such



Loan is made or converted to a Loan of a different Type shall be included and the date such Loan is repaid or converted to a Loan of a different type, as the case may be, shall be excluded. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 2.11      Evidence of Indebtedness.

The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b)      Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 2.12      Payments Generally .
(a)      All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b)      If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would



cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c)      Unless a Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:
(i)      if a Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and
(ii)      if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to a Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “ Compensation Period ”) at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d)      If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(e)      The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.



(f)      Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
(g)      Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may (to the fullest extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law), but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.
Section 2.13      Sharing of Payments . If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein or required by court order, any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal or interest on account of the Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of any principal or interest on such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. For purposes of subclause (v)(a) of the definition of Indemnified Taxes, a Lender that acquires a participation



pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) and/or Loan(s) to which such participation relates.
Section 2.14      Additional Facilities .
(a)      By at least two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree), and pursuant to the terms of an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, an Additional Facility may be provided to any Loan Party provided that (i) on the date of the proposed Additional Facility Loan all representations and warranties to be made in a Committed Loan Notice in accordance with Section 4.02 are correct in all material respects, (ii) no Event of Default either (A) is outstanding at the time of such notice to the Administrative Agent or (B) would result from the proposed advance and (iii) the Company has certified in the relevant Request for Credit Extension that it is in compliance with the Financial Covenants on a Pro Forma Basis after taking into account the Borrowing under such Additional Facility and the use of proceeds thereof as of the most recent Compliance Date.
(b)      Any person may become a Lender under this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement which must be duly executed by that person, the Administrative Agent, the Company and the relevant Additional Borrower (if any). That person shall become a Lender on the date specified in the Additional Facility Joinder Agreement.
(c)      Upon the relevant person becoming a Lender, the total of the Commitments under this Agreement shall be increased by the amount set out in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement as that Lender’s Additional Facility Commitment.
(d)      Each Lender under an Additional Facility will grant to the relevant Borrower a term loan facility in the amount specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement during the Additional Facility Availability Period specified in the Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(e)      The execution by the Company, the Guarantors and the relevant Additional Borrower of the Additional Facility Joinder Agreement constitutes confirmation by each Guarantor that its obligations under the Guarantee shall extend to the total of the Commitments as increased by the addition of the relevant Lender’s Commitment and shall be owed to each Secured Party including the relevant Lender but otherwise shall continue unaffected.
(f)      The aggregate amount of all outstanding Additional Facility Loans under an Additional Facility shall not at any time exceed the relevant Total Additional Facility Commitments for that Additional Facility.
(g)      The aggregate amount of the participations of a Lender in Additional Facility Loans under an Additional Facility shall not at any time exceed that Lender’s Additional Facility Commitment for that Additional Facility at that time.
(h)      The effectiveness of an Additional Facility shall be subject to customary reaffirmation in respect of any Collateral Documents and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, delivery of a written opinion of counsel to the Loan Parties in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.



(i)      in respect of each Additional Facility:
(i)      each Additional Facility Borrower for that Additional Facility is a Loan Party;
(ii)      the principal amount, interest rate, interest periods, Latest Maturity Date, use of proceeds, repayment schedule, availability, fees, and related provisions and the currency of that Additional Facility shall be agreed by the relevant Additional Facility Borrowers and the relevant Additional Facility Lenders and set out in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement; and
(iii)      subject to sub-clauses (i) and (ii) above, the general terms of that Additional Facility shall be consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement.
(j)      The Company may pay to any Additional Facility Lender a fee in the amount and at the times agreed between the Company and that Additional Facility Lender.
(k)      Each Additional Facility Lender shall become a party to this Agreement and be entitled to share in the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents pari passu with the Lenders under the other Facilities provided that the Additional Facility Borrowers and the relevant Additional Facility Lender may agree that an Additional Facility shares in the Collateral on a junior basis to the other Facilities which, if so agreed, shall be set out in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement.
(l)      Each party to this Agreement (other than each proposed Additional Facility Lender, the Company and each Additional Facility Borrower) irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to execute on its behalf any Additional Facility Joinder Agreement which has been duly completed and signed on behalf of each proposed Additional Facility Lender, the Company and each proposed Additional Facility Borrower and each Loan Party agrees to be bound by such joinder.
(m)      On the Additional Facility Commencement Date:
(i)      each Additional Facility Lender party to that Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, each other Finance Party and the Loan Parties shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had each Additional Facility Lender been a Lender on the Closing Date, with the rights and/or obligations assumed by it as a result of that accession and with the Commitment specified by it as its Additional Facility Commitment; and
(ii)      each Additional Facility Lender shall become a party to this Agreement as an “ Additional Facility Lender ”.
(n)      With the prior written consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent is authorized and instructed to enter into such documentation as is reasonably required to amend this Agreement and any other Loan Document (in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.14)) to reflect the terms of each Additional Facility without the consent of any Lender other than each applicable Additional Facility Lender, including amendments as deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment to effect any lien or payment subordination and associated rights of the applicable Lenders to the extent any Additional Facilities are to rank junior in right of security or payment or to address technical issues relating to funding and payments.
(o)      This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.



Section 2.15      Refinancing Amendments.
(a)      Refinancing Commitments . The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (a “ Refinancing Loan Request ”), request a new Class of term loans (any such new Class, “ Refinancing Commitments ”), in each case, established in exchange for, or to extend, renew, replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, in whole or in part, existing Loans or Commitments (with respect to a particular Refinancing Commitment or Refinancing Loan, such existing Loans or Commitments, “ Refinanced Debt ”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders.
(b)      Refinancing Loans . On any Refinancing Facility Closing Date on which any Refinancing Commitments of any Class are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.15, (i) each Refinancing Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (a “ Refinancing Loan ”) in an amount equal to its Refinancing Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Refinancing Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Refinancing Commitment of such Class and the Refinancing Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto.
(c)      Refinancing Loan Request . Each Refinancing Loan Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Refinancing Loans. Refinancing Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Refinancing Commitment, nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lender to provide any Refinancing Commitment) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Commitment or Loan, a “ Refinancing Lender ,” and, collectively, “ Refinancing Lenders ”); provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Additional Lender’s making such Refinancing Loans to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Lender or Additional Lender and (ii) with respect to Refinancing Commitments, any Affiliated Lender providing a Refinancing Commitment shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(k) as they would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment to such Affiliated Lender of Loans.
(d)      Effectiveness of Refinancing Amendment .

(i)      after giving effect to such Refinancing Commitments, the conditions of Sections 4.02(i) and (ii) shall be satisfied (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Extension” or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Refinancing Amendment);
(ii)      each Refinancing Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $15,000,000 ( provided that such amount may be less than 15,000,000 if such amount is equal to the entire outstanding principal amount of Refinanced Debt); and
(iii)      to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date (conformed as appropriate) other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such

In any event:
(i)      the Refinancing Loans:
(A)      as of the Refinancing Facility Closing Date, shall not have a final scheduled maturity date earlier than the Maturity Date of the Refinanced Debt,
(B)      as of the Refinancing Facility Closing Date, shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinanced Debt,

(E)      may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis (except for prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iv) and Section 2.05(b)(vi)(A)(y) or any voluntary prepayments of any Class of Loans with an earlier Maturity Date than any other Classes of Loans)) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of Loans hereunder, or if junior in right of security, shall be on a junior basis with respect thereto,
(F)      shall not have a greater principal amount than the principal amount of the Refinanced Debt plus accrued interest, fees, premiums (if any) and penalties thereon and reasonable fees, expenses, OID and upfront fees associated with the refinancing, and
(G)      (I) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment with the Obligations under Loans that are senior in right of payment and (II) shall be secured by the Collateral and shall rank pari passu or junior in right of security with the Obligations under the Initial Loans and other Loans that are required to be secured on a pari passu lien basis with the Initial Loans (and, if applicable, subject to a Subordination Agreement and/or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement (or, alternatively, terms in the Refinancing Amendment substantially similar to those in such applicable agreement, as agreed by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) or other lien subordination and intercreditor arrangement satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent); and
(ii)      [reserved].



(f)      Refinancing Amendment . Commitments in respect of Refinancing Loans shall become additional Commitments pursuant to an amendment (a “ Refinancing Amendment ”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Refinancing Lender providing such Commitments, the Administrative Agent. The Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, 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 and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15, including amendments as deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment to effect any lien or payment subordination and associated rights of the applicable Lenders to the extent any Refinancing Loans are to rank junior in right of security or payment or to address technical issues relating to funding and payments. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Refinancing Loans to extend, renew, replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, substantially concurrently, the applicable Refinanced Debt.
(g)      [Reserved.]
(h)      Refinancing Equivalent Debt .
(i)      In lieu of incurring any Refinancing Loans, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date issue, incur or otherwise obtain (A) secured Indebtedness (including any Registered Equivalent Notes) in the form of one or more series of senior secured notes secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Loans (such notes, “ Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt ”), (B) secured Indebtedness (including any Registered Equivalent Notes) in the form of one or more series of junior lien secured notes or junior lien secured term loans (such notes or term loans, “ Permitted Junior Secured Refinancing Debt ”) and (C) unsecured or subordinated Indebtedness (including any Registered Equivalent Notes) in the form of one or more series of unsecured or subordinated notes or term loans (such notes or term loans, “ Permitted Unsecured Refinancing Debt ” and together with Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt and Permitted Junior Secured Refinancing Debt, and, in each case, any Permitted Refinancing thereof, “ Refinancing Equivalent Debt ”), in each case, in exchange for, or to extend, renew, replace, repurchase, retire or refinance, in whole or in part, any existing Class of Loans (such Loans, “ Refinanced Loans ”).
(ii)      Any Refinancing Equivalent Debt:
(A)      (1) shall not have a Maturity Date prior to the date that is on or after the Maturity Date of the Refinanced Loans, (2) if in the form of term loans, shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinanced Loans, (3) if in the form of notes, shall not have scheduled amortization or payments of principal and not be subject to mandatory redemption, repurchase, prepayment or sinking fund obligations (other than customary “AHYDO catch-up payments”, offers to repurchase and prepayment events upon a change of control, asset sale or event of loss and a customary acceleration right after an event of default), in each case prior to the Maturity Date of the Refinanced Loans, (4) shall not be guaranteed by Persons other than Guarantors, (5) if in the form of subordinated Permitted Unsecured Refinancing Debt, shall be subject to a Subordination Agreement to which a Senior Representative acting on behalf of the holders of such Permitted Unsecured Refinancing Debt shall have become a party or otherwise subject (or, alternatively, terms in the definitive documentation for such Refinancing Equivalent Debt substantially similar to those in such applicable agreement, as agreed by the Borrower and Administrative Agent); provided that if such Permitted Unsecured Refinancing Debt is the initial subordinated Permitted Unsecured Refinancing Debt incurred by the Borrower, then the Borrower, the Guarantors, the



Administrative Agent and the Senior Representative for such Permitted Unsecured Refinancing Debt shall have executed and delivered a Subordination Agreement, (6) shall not have a greater principal amount than the principal amount of the Refinanced Loans plus accrued interest, fees, premiums (if any) and penalties thereon and reasonable fees, expenses, OID and upfront fees associated with the refinancing and (7) except as otherwise set forth in this clause (h)(ii), shall have terms and conditions (other than with respect to pricing, fees, rate floors and optional prepayment or redemption terms) substantially similar to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) to the lenders or holders providing such Refinancing Equivalent Debt, than those applicable to the Refinanced Loans (except for covenants or other provisions (a) conformed (or added) in the Loan Documents, for the benefit of the Lenders holding Initial Loans, pursuant to an amendment thereto subject solely to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent or (b) applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date at the time of the issuance or incurrence of such Refinancing Equivalent Debt) or such terms and conditions shall be current market terms for such type of Refinancing Equivalent Debt (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Borrower),
(B)      (1) if either Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt or Permitted Junior Secured Refinancing Debt, shall be subject to security agreements relating to such Refinancing Equivalent Debt that are substantially the same as or more favorable to the Loan Parties than the Collateral Documents (with such differences as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), (2) if Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt, (x) shall be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Obligations under Loans required to be secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Loans and shall not be secured by any property or assets of the Borrower or any member of the Bank Group other than the Collateral, and (y) shall be subject to a Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement to which a Senior Representative acting on behalf of the holders of such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt shall have become a party or otherwise subject; provided that if such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt is the initial Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt incurred by the Borrower, then the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Senior Representative for such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt shall have executed and delivered a Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (3) if Permitted Junior Secured Refinancing Debt, (x) shall be secured by the Collateral on a third priority (or other junior priority) basis to the Liens securing the Obligations under Loans required to be secured on a second lien basis and shall not be secured by any property or assets of the Borrower or any member of the Bank Group other than the Collateral, and (y) shall be subject to a Subordination Agreement to which a Senior Representative acting on behalf of the holders of such Permitted Junior Secured Refinancing Debt shall have become a party or otherwise subject or other lien subordination or intercreditor arrangement satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and
(C)      shall be incurred solely to repay, repurchase, retire or refinance substantially concurrently the Refinanced Loans.
(i)      This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 2.15 will be construed to limit the provisions in Section 2.14.
Section 2.16      Extension of Loans.



(a)      Extension of Loans . The Company may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Loans of a given Class (an “ Existing Tranche ”) be amended to extend the scheduled Maturity Date(s) with respect to the Loans of such Existing Tranche (any such Loans which have been so amended, “ Extended Loans ”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche) (each, an “ Extension Request ”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other similar fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with all relevant Lenders) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Tranche and (y) be identical to the Loans under the Existing Tranche from which such Extended Loans are intended to be amended, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Loans of such Existing Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided , however , that at no time shall there be Classes of Extended Loans and Refinancing Loans hereunder which have more than five (5) different Maturity Dates; (ii) the All-In Yield with respect to the Extended Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the All-In Yield for the Loans of such Existing Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Loans); and (iv) Extended Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Company and the Lenders thereof; provided , that no Extended Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the Maturity Date of the Initial Loans, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of the Initial Loans; provided , however , that (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time an Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the Maturity Date of any Extended Loans of a given Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Maturity Date of the Existing Tranche, (C) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Loans of a given Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Existing Tranche, (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (E) any Extended Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than or greater than a pro rata basis in any voluntary repayments or prepayments of principal of Loans hereunder and on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis except in the case of a prepayment under Section 2.05(b)(iv) and Section 2.05(b)(vi)(A)(y)), in any mandatory repayments or prepayments of Loans hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Request. Any Extended Loans amended pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “ Extension Series ”) of Extended Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Loans amended from an Existing Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to such Existing Tranche (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionately increased). The Company may impose an Extension Minimum Condition with respect to any Extension Request, which may be waived by the Company in its sole discretion.
(b)      [Reserved].
(c)      Extension Request . The Company shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Tranche are requested to respond, and shall agree to such



procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans of any Existing Tranche amended into Extended pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Tranche (each, an “ Extending Lender ”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Loans under the Existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “ Extension Election ”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Loans under the Existing Tranche which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Loans under the Existing Tranche in respect of which applicable Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Loans requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Loans on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Loans included in each such Extension Election.
(d)      Extension Amendment . Extended Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “ Extension Amendment ”) to this Agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Lender providing an Extended Loan thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.16(a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date (conformed as appropriate) other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Loans incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.07 with respect to any Existing Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Loans required to be paid thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied to reduce scheduled repayment of such Loans on the Maturity Date as required pursuant to Section 2.07), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.05 to reflect the existence of the Extended Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) address technical issues relating to funding and payments and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.
(e)      No conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension in accordance with this Section 2.16 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 2.16 will be construed to limit the provisions in Section 2.14.



Section 2.17      Defaulting Lenders .
(a)      Adjustments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)      Waivers and Amendments . That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.
(ii)      Reallocation of Payments . Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second , as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third , if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth , so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth , to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made 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 all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(b)      Defaulting Lender Cure . If the Company and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that 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.
ARTICLE III.
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY




Section 3.01      Taxes .
(a)      Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments made by or on account of each Borrower or Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by any Law. If any Borrower, any Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each Lender (or, in the case of a payment made to an Agent for its own account, such Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), if any Borrower or any Guarantor is the applicable withholding agent, it shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence acceptable to such Agent or Lender.
(b)      In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording Taxes, imposed by any Governmental Authority, which arise from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document excluding, in each case, any such Tax imposed as a result of an Agent or Lender’s Assignment and Assumption, grant of a participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document (collectively, “ Assignment Taxes ”), except for Assignment Taxes resulting from assignment or participation that is requested or required in writing by each Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “ Other Taxes ”).
(c)      Each Borrower and each Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes payable by such Agent or such Lender (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) and (ii) any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by such Agent or Lender (or by an Agent on behalf of such Lender), accompanied by a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)      Each Lender and Agent shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide that Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by that Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. Each such Lender and Agent shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly and on or before the date such documentation expires, becomes obsolete or inaccurate to that Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by that Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify that Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. Unless the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents



satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Lender are not subject to withholding Tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (d), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this clause (d) that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. Without limiting the foregoing:
(i)      Each Lender that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑9 (or any successor forms) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding provided, however, that if the Lender is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it shall provide the appropriate withholding form of its owner (together with supporting documentation).
(ii)      Each Lender that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)      two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN or W‑8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(B)      two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI (or any successor forms),
(C)      in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (any such certificate a “ United States Tax Compliance Certificate ”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN or W‑8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms),
(D)      to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership, or is a Participant holding a participation granted by a participating Lender), IRS Form W‑8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W‑8ECI, W‑8BEN, W 8BEN E, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W‑9, Form W‑8IMY or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable ( provided that, if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such partner(s)), or
(E)      two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents.
(iii)      Each Agent that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly



signed original copies of IRS Form W‑9 with respect to fees received for its own account, certifying that such Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Each Agent that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI with respect to fees received for its own account.
(e)      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 Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Laws and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Laws and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this clause (e), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(f)      Any Lender or Agent claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall use its reasonable efforts to mitigate or reduce the additional amounts payable, which reasonable efforts may include a change in the jurisdiction of its Lending Office (or any other measures reasonably requested by the Company) if such a change or other measures would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(g)      If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnification or additional amounts paid by the Loan Party under this Section 3.01(g) with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund net of any Taxes payable by any Agent or Lender on such interest); provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agree promptly to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. This Section shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.
Section 3.02      Illegality.
If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law or its interpretation or application thereof has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended,



and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Company shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate with respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Company shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment and conversion.
Section 3.03      Inability to Determine Rates.
If the Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount, currency and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
Section 3.04      Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Eurocurrency Rate Loan Reserves.
(a)      If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of a Change in Law, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining



Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (including any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or (ii) Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes), including by imposing, modifying or holding applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(b) or the definition of Eurocurrency Rate), then from time to time within five (5) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
(b)      If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by it to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Company will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, within five (5) days after demand by such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)      The Company shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loan of the Company equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financing regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans of the Company, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice five (5) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.
Section 3.05      Funding Losses .
Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Company shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of:



(a)      any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Borrower on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b)      any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan of that Borrower on the date or in the amount notified by that Borrower;
including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
Section 3.06      Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation .
(a)      If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Company or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, 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 judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect; provided nothing in this Section 3.06(a) shall affect or postpone any Obligations of the Company or any Borrower or the rights of the Lenders under this Article III.
(b)      If any Lender requests compensation by the Company or any Borrower under Section 3.04, the Company or a Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another Interest Period, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(d) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(c)      Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than two hundred and seventy (270) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company or a Borrower of the event giving rise to such claim and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstance 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).
(d)      If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by



Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i)      to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii)      all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans (if possible), and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
(e)      If any Lender gives notice to the Company or a Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders under the applicable Facility are outstanding, if applicable, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans under such Facility and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments for the applicable Facility.
(f)      Any Agent or Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive on the absence of manifest error. In determining such amounts, such Agent or Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
Section 3.07      Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. If (i) any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, (iii) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, (iv) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (v) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives any Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then that Borrower 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, and consents required by, Section 10.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver and amendment) and the related Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to that Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person) that shall assume such obligations (any of which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a)      the Company shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.07(b)(ii)(D);
(b)      such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the applicable outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to



it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company;
(c)      such Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall (1) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to all, or a portion as applicable, of such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans, and (2) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to a Borrower or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof); provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment may be recorded in the Register and the Notes shall be deemed to be canceled upon such failure;
(d)      the Eligible Assignee shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender;
(e)      in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(f)      such assignment shall not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(g)      the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent cannot be replaced in its capacity as Administrative Agent other than in accordance with Section 9.06,
In the event that (i) the Company or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each affected Lender or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans and/or Commitments and (iii) the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a consent, waiver or amendment involving all affected Lenders of a certain Class, the Required Class Lenders) have agreed (but solely to the extent required by Section 10.01) to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “ Non-Consenting Lender .”
In connection with any such replacement, (i) if the Lender to be replaced is a Non-Consenting Lender, the Company shall pay to each Non-Consenting Lender, concurrently with the effectiveness of the respective assignment, the fee set forth in Section 2.05(a)(vi) to the extent applicable and (ii) if any such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption Agreement to such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 3.08      Survival .



All of each Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the Loan Documents and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase).

action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Treasury Services Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank.

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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.12.

(d)      (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.01 the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent or sanction of the Lenders, concur with the Borrower in making any modifications to any Loan Document, which in the opinion of the Administrative Agent would be proper to make provided that the Administrative Agent is of the opinion that such modification:

(B)      is of a minor, operational or technical nature; or

Each amendment to this Agreement providing for Replacement Loans 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 opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of this paragraph, and for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall supersede any other provisions in this Section 10.01 to the contrary.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten (10) days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided , however , that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, prepayments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements arising from any non-Tax claims.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.07      Successors and Assigns .
(a)      The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower nor



any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (except as permitted by Section 7.02) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Assignee pursuant to an assignment made in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b) (such an assignee, an “ Eligible Assignee ”) and (A) in the case of any Assignee that, immediately prior to or upon giving effect to such assignment, is an Affiliated Lender, Section 10.07(k) or (B) in the case of any Assignee that is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Section 10.07(l), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or (i) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h); provided , however , that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may assign or transfer by participation any of its rights or obligations hereunder to (i) any Person that is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) a natural Person or a Disqualified Institution or (iii) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (except pursuant to Section 10.07(l)). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Company of any request by a Lender to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person that is on the Disqualified Institutions List or, to the extent it has knowledge, any Person that is an Affiliate of a Person on the Disqualified Institutions List; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the Disqualified Institutions List or any assignments to any Person that is the Disqualified Institutions List.
(b)      (i) Subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (a) above and the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (“ Assignees ”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except in connection with a proposed assignment to any Disqualified Institution) of:
(A)      the Company, provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for (i) an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (ii) other than with respect to any proposed assignment to any Disqualified Institution, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, to any Assignee or (iii) an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or Section 10.07(l); provided that, other than with respect to any proposed assignment to any Person that is a Disqualified Institution, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment of the Loans unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
(B)      the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or Section 10.07(l).
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent any Lender is required to assign any portion of its Commitments, Loans and other rights, duties and obligations hereunder in order to comply with applicable Laws, such assignment may be made by such Lender



without the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent, or any other party hereto so long as such Lender complies with the requirements of Section 10.07(b)(ii).
(ii)      Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)      except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than an amount of $1,000,000 and shall be in increments of an amount of in excess thereof unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that such assignments shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B)      unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, no Lender shall be entitled to effect any assignment or transfer which would result in the Assignee holding an aggregate participation of more than zero but less than $1,000,000 in relation to any Facility;
(C)      the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); and
(D)      other than in the case of assignments pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis among such Facilities.
In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(c)      Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (1) other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, provided, however , that an Assignee will not be eligible for benefits under Sections 3.01 or 3.04 attributable to a



Change in Law that is announced prior to the date of the transfer, except with respect to the amount of any benefits under Sections 3.01 or 3.04 that would have been available to the Assignor had the Assignor remained a Lender, and (2) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender; provided , that except as otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) 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 Section 10.07(e).
(d)      The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, and each notice of cancellation of any Loans delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or Section 10.07(l) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents 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 the Company, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.07(d) and Section 2.11 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of Loans held by Affiliated Lenders.
(e)      Subject to Section 10.06(f), any Lender, without consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, any Borrower or any Borrower Affiliate or its Subsidiaries, a Disqualified Institution or a Defaulting Lender) (each, a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Agents 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 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 or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (a) through (f) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that requires the affirmative vote of such Lender. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections



3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitations and requirements of those Sections (including Section 3.01(d)) applying to each Participant as if it were a Lender, and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, 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 ”). 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. The portion of any Participant Register relating to any Participant requesting payment from the Borrower or seeking to exercise its rights under Section 10.09 shall be available for inspection by the Borrower upon reasonable request 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register or with respect to the sale of participations to any Person that is on the Disqualified Institutions List.
(f)      A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent it results from a Change in Law after that Participant acquires the Participation.
(g)      Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “ Granting Lender ”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “ SPC ”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) such SPC and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof, shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) an SPC shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d) shall be delivered to the Granting Lender), but neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement except, in the case of Section 3.01, to the extent that the grant to the SPC was made with the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have a reasonable basis for withholding consent if an exercise by an SPC immediately after the grant would result in materially increased indemnification obligation to the Company at such



time), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. If a Granting Lender grants an option to an SPC as described herein and such grant is not reflected in the Register, the Granting Lender shall maintain a separate register on which it records the name and address of each SPC and the principal amounts (and related interest) of each SPC’s interest with respect to the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder, which entries shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose any portion of such register to any Person except to the extent disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder are in registered form for United States federal income tax purposes.
(i)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
(j)      [Reserved].
(k)      Any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:
(i)      the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (an “ Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption ”);
(ii)      Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II;



(iii)      (A) each Affiliated Lender that purchases any Loans pursuant to clause (x) above shall represent and warrant to the selling Lender and the Administrative Agent (other than any other Affiliated Lender), or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made, that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been disclosed to the Lenders generally (other than Lenders who elect not to receive such information) and (B) each Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that assigns any Loans to an Affiliated Lender pursuant to clause (k)(y) above shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company a customary Big Boy Letter;
(iv)      the aggregate principal amount of Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 30% of the original principal amount of all Loans at such time outstanding (such percentage, the “ Affiliated Lender Cap ”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio ; provided further that such cap shall not apply to Loans assigned to Affiliated Lenders where the assignment is in relation to a Qualifying Assignment;
(v)      as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this clause (k), the Administrative Agent and the Company shall have been provided a notice in the form of Exhibit E‑2 to this Agreement in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such.
Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender. Such notice shall contain the type of information required and be delivered to the same addressee as set forth in Exhibit E‑2 .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated Lender that has purchased Loans pursuant to this subsection (k) may, in its sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, principal amount of such Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the relevant Borrower for the purpose of cancelling and extinguished such Loans. Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Loans then held by the relevant Borrower and (y) the relevant Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution of such Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Loans in the Register.
(l)      Any Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement to a Loan Party through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis or (y) notwithstanding Sections 2.12 and 2.13 or any other provision in this Agreement, open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis; provided further that:
(i)      if a Loan Party is the assignee, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, such Loan Party shall automatically be deemed to have contributed the principal amount of such Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to a Borrower; and



(ii)      (a) the principal amount of such Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to a Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Loans then held by such Borrower and (c) such Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Loans in the Register.
(m)      Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Class Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders and Required Class Lenders (in respect of a Class of Loans) have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to Section 10.07(n), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action, and all Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, Required Class Lenders (in respect of a Class of Loans) or all Lenders have taken any actions, except that no amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document shall, without the consent of the applicable Affiliated Lender, deprive any Affiliated Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any payment to which all Lenders of the applicable Class of Loans are entitled or affect an Affiliated Lender in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect on any Lender of the same Class of Loans.
(n)      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that) if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Company or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner such that all Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it in order to provide that all Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that has a disproportionate effect on such Affiliated Lender as compared to the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders.
(o)      The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans purchased by, or contributed to (in each case, and subsequently cancelled hereunder), any Borrower pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or (l) and the principal repayment installments with respect to the Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i) shall be reduced pro rata by the par value of the aggregate principal amount of Loans so purchased or contributed (and subsequently cancelled), with such reduction being applied solely to the Loans of the Lenders which sold such Loans.



Section 10.08      Confidentiality .
Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ managers, administrators, directors, officers, employees, trustees, partners, investors, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person (including any Governmental Authority regulating any Lender or its Affiliates), provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the Company prior to any such disclosure by such Person to the extent practicable (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or any self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the Company as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or any self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Company), to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be an Additional Lender, any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), or any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its obligations; (f) with the written consent of the Company; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 or becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party or their respective related parties (so long as such source is not known to the Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to be bound by confidentiality obligations to any Loan Party); (h) to any rating agency when required by it on a customary basis and after consultation with the Company (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries received by it from such Lender); (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder, under any other Loan Document or the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder; or (j) to the extent such Information is independently developed by such Person or its Affiliates so long as not based on Information obtained in a manner that would otherwise violate this Section 10.08.
For purposes of this Section, “ Information ” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that all information received after the Closing Date from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed confidential unless such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information



and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.
Section 10.09      Setoff .
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates (and the Administrative Agent, in respect of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor) owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have at Law.
Section 10.10      Interest Rate Limitation .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “ Maximum Rate ”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the relevant Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
Section 10.11      Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents .
This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same



instrument. Delivery by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means.
The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 10.12      Integration; Termination .
This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
Section 10.13      Survival of Representations and Warranties .
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements, Treasury Services Agreements or contingent indemnification obligations, in any such case, not then due and payable).
Section 10.14      Severability .
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to



Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
Section 11.02      Obligations Unconditional .
The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 11.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full).

(iv)      any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of any Lender or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected;
(v)      the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.09; or

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and, to the extent permitted by Law, all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive, to the extent permitted by Law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee.

Each Guarantor agrees it will indemnify the Secured Parties and each holder of the Guaranteed Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under Debtor Relief Law.

Section 11.06      Instrument for the Payment of Money .
Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article XI constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.
Section 11.07      Continuing Guarantee .
The guarantee in this Article XI is a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
Section 11.08      General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations .
In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 11.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 11.10) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
Section 11.09      Release of Guarantors .

Persons none of which is a Loan Party or (ii) any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (any such Guarantor, and any Guarantor referred to in clause (i), a “ Transferred Guarantor ”), such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer or other transaction, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 10.05 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Collateral Document and, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents shall be automatically released, and, so long as the Borrower shall have provided the Agents such certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request, the Administrative Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 11.09 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Collateral Documents.
Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 11.09, the Guarantees made herein shall remain in full force and effect so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, any Loan or other Obligation (other than (i) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (ii) obligations under Treasury Services Agreements or obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Hedge Bank have been made) hereunder which is accrued and payable shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.04. The provisions of this Section 11.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
Section 11.11      Keepwell .
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of any Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 11.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 11.11, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 11.11 shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 11.11 constitute, and this Section 11.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Except to the extent required by applicable law, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party will be required to marshal any collateral securing, or any guaranties of, the Guaranteed Obligations, or to resort to any item of collateral or any guaranty in any particular order, and the Secured Parties’ rights with respect to any collateral and guaranties will be cumulative and in addition to all other



rights, however existing or arising. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor irrevocably waives, and agrees that it will not invoke or assert, any law requiring or relating to the marshaling of collateral or guaranties or any other law which might cause a delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Parties' rights under this Guarantee or any other agreement.
Section 11.13      Election of Remedies .
Each Guarantor understands that the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties of certain rights and remedies contained in the Loan Documents may affect or eliminate the Guarantor's right of subrogation and reimbursement against the Loan Parties and that the Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability under this Guarantee. The Guarantors expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to pursue their rights and remedies with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations in any order or fashion they deem appropriate, in their sole and absolute discretion, and waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment, or loss of any or all rights of recourse, reimbursement, contribution, exoneration or subrogation or any other rights or remedies of the Guarantors against the Borrower, any other person or any security, whether resulting from any election of rights or remedies by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties, or otherwise.
Section 11.14      Agent’s Duties .
The grant to the Agent under this Guarantee of any right or power does not impose upon the Administrative Agent any duty to exercise that right or power.
ARTICLE XII.
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT
Section 12.01      Amendment and Restatement.
This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Second Lien Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date. All Obligations (as defined in the Existing Second Lien Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Existing Second Lien Credit Agreement shall constitute Obligations under this Agreement and, without limiting the foregoing, the Term Loans, (under and as defined in the Existing Second Lien Credit Agreement) shall be Term Loans under this Agreement, and each Lender shall have the Commitments with respect thereto as stated in this Agreement.

Any payment or performance of any Obligation under the Existing Second Lien Credit Agreement or any Obligation described in this Agreement during any period prior to the Closing Date shall constitute payment or performance of such Obligation under this Agreement.

(b)    Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Pledgor will not (i) unless not prohibited under the Loan Documents, vote to enable, or take any other action to permit or cause, the Borrower to amend its organizational documents in any manner that materially changes the rights of such Pledgor with respect to any Pledged Equity Interests or adversely affects the validity, perfection or priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, (ii) unless not prohibited under the Loan Documents, enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Pledgor or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Equity Interests or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein or (iii) cause or permit the Borrower to elect or otherwise take any action to cause any Pledged Equity Interests which are not securities for purposes of the UCC on the date hereof to be treated as securities for purposes of the UCC unless such Pledgor promptly notifies the Administrative Agent in writing of any such election or action and, in such event, takes all steps necessary or advisable to establish the Administrative Agent’s “control” thereof.
4.6      Voting and Other Rights with Respect to Pledged Equity Interests .
(a)    Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Administrative Agent has provided written notice to such Pledgor, such Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant issuer, to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests; provided, however, that (i) no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the security interests created hereby unless any such vote, exercise or action is not prohibited under the Loan Documents and (ii) no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which could reasonably be expected to result in any material violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.



(b)      If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent has provided written notice to such Pledgor: (i) all rights of such Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights with respect to Pledged Equity Interests which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to such Pledgor, to transfer all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests to its name or the name of its nominee or agent and (iii) except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, all rights of the Pledgors to receive the dividends, other distributions and interest payments that they would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Equity Interests such dividends, other distributions and interest payments. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, without notice to such Pledgor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Pledged Equity Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, each Pledgor hereby grants to Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Equity Interests and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Equity Interests would be entitled (including, without limitation, giving or withholding written consents of holders of Pledged Equity Interests, calling special meetings of holders of Pledged Equity Interests and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Equity Interests on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Equity Interests or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Obligations.
(c)      Such Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs the Borrower to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and such Pledgor agrees that the Borrower shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests directly to the Administrative Agent.

(b)     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Pledgors or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
(c)     Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold or to become the licensor of all or any such Collateral, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgors, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Debtor Relief Laws (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Secured Party or Secured Parties in its or their respective individual capacities unless the requisite percentage of holders under the applicable Loan Document shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably to the Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their pro rata share of such Obligations. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of each Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waive (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.



(d)     Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Pledgor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Pledgor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
(e)    Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deduct from any Proceeds received in respect of the Collateral all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies against the Collateral or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 5.2. Only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Pledgors. If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Pledgors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Collateral and the Pledgors shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgors waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder.

5.4      Effect of Securities Laws . Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire



such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Borrower to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Borrower would agree to do so.
5.5      Deficiency . Each Pledgor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 6. POWER OF ATTORNEY AND FURTHER ASSURANCES
6.1      Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc.
(a)    Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without notice to or assent by such Pledgor, to do any or all of the following:

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b)      If a Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided , however , that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Pledgors and the Pledgors failing to promptly comply therewith.
(c)      Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due interest on the Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the Pledgors, shall be payable by the Pledgors to the Administrative Agent on demand.
(d)      Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Discharge of the Obligations.
6.2      Authorization of Financing Statements . The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Pledgor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or the other Security Documents or such other description as the Administrative Agent, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, this is a permissive right and does not relieve such Pledgor from its obligation as the party responsible for doing all things necessary to perfect the lien granted hereby including filing all financing statements and continuation statements.



6.3      Further Assurances . Each Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Pledgor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor shall:

(vii)      any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Obligations) at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that a Pledgor would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, each Pledgor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Pledgor under applicable law; and
(viii)      any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of a Pledgor as an obligor in respect of the Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of a Pledgor or the Borrower for the Obligations, or of a Pledgor under any guarantee contained in any of the Loan Documents or of any security interest granted by a Pledgor, whether in a proceeding brought pursuant to Debtor Relief Laws (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or in any other instance.
(b)      In addition, each Pledgor further waives any and all other defenses, set-offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance in full hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by such Pledgor, the Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury.

SECTION 8.      THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT Authority of Administrative Agent

(b)      The Administrative Agent has been appointed to act as Administrative Agent hereunder by the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent and the powers and duties and immunities of the Administrative Agent, are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of any other Loan Document.
8.2      Duty of Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of a Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to the Pledgors for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from their own gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to the Pledgors.
8.3      Exculpation of the Administrative Agent .



(a)      The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or of any Security Document or the validity or perfection of any security interest or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to the Secured Parties or by or on behalf of any Secured Party to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in connection with the Security Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of the Pledgors, the Borrower or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Security Documents or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.
(b)      Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the Security Documents except to the extent caused solely and proximately by the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action in connection herewith or any of the Security Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have been instructed in respect thereof by the requisite percentage of holders under the Credit Agreement and, upon such instruction, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such written instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Pledgors and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Security Documents in accordance with the Loan Documents or the instructions of the requisite percentage of holders under the applicable Loan Documents.
(c)      No direction given to the Administrative Agent which imposes, or purports to impose, upon the Administrative Agent any obligation not set forth in or arising under this Agreement accepted or entered into by the Administrative Agent shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent.
(d)      The Administrative Agent may resign at any time in accordance with the Loan Documents. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation in accordance with the Loan Documents, the provisions of Section 8 hereof and of the Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall promptly transfer all Collateral within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Administrative Agent (such transfer to be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the retiring Administrative Agent), and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the retiring Administrative Agent and each Pledgor, if such Pledgor is a party thereto, as may be necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the Administrative Agent in respect of the Collateral to the successor Administrative Agent.



8.4      Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Security 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 and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Article 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to any of the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agents, and shall apply to their respective activities as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent or Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or Affiliate of any such sub-agent shall be a third-party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third-party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Pledgors, the Borrower and the Secured Parties, and such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent or Affiliate acting in such capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such sub-agent or Affiliate selected by it with reasonable care, except for acts or omissions of any such person that result from fraud, wilful default or gross misconduct.
8.5      No Individual Foreclosure, Etc . No Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral except to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, 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. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party authorizes the Administrative Agent to credit bid all or any part of the Obligations held by it.

omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
9.4      Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification .
(a)    Each Pledgor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Administrative Agent, forthwith upon any request therefor from time to time, for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Pledgor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Pledgor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Secured Party and of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to the Administrative Agent.

(d)      The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
9.5      Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgors and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that the Pledgors may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and any such assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void, except in connection with any assignment or transfer permitted by the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any



other person in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and, in the case of a Secured Party that is a party to a Secured Hedge Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement, such Secured Hedge Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement, as applicable.

Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
9.7      Severability . Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and following written notice from the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder.

(a)      Section 2.3 of this Agreement constitutes a present, absolute, effective, irrevocable and complete assignment by Pledgors to Collateral Agent of the Leases and Rents and the right, subject to applicable law, to collect all sums payable to the Pledgors thereunder and apply the same as Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate to protect the security afforded by this Agreement (including the payment of reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the maintenance, operation, improvement, insurance, taxes and upkeep of the Mortgaged Properties), which is not conditioned upon Collateral Agent being in possession of any of the Premises. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. The Collateral Agent hereby grants to the Pledgors, however, a license to collect and apply the Rents and to enforce the obligations of Tenants under the Leases. Immediately upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced and without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the Obligations or solvency of each Pledgor, the license granted in the immediately preceding sentence shall automatically cease and terminate without any notice by Collateral Agent (such notice



being hereby expressly waived by the Pledgors to the extent permitted by applicable law), or any action or proceeding or the intervention of a receiver appointed by a court.
(b)      Pledgors acknowledge that Collateral Agent has taken all reasonable actions necessary to obtain, and that upon notification to the corresponding Tenants of this assignment and security interest, Collateral Agent shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid second priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and in the case of security deposits, rights of depositors and requirements of law.

The Collateral Agent shall be accountable to the Pledgors only for Rents actually received by the Collateral Agent. The collection of such Rents and the application thereof shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or waive, modify or affect notice of Event of Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
(b)      The Pledgors hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Tenant under each Lease to rely upon and comply with any and all notices or demands from the Collateral Agent for payment of Rents to the Collateral Agent, and the Pledgors shall have no claim against any Tenant for Rents paid by such Tenant to the Collateral Agent pursuant to such notice or demand.

SECTION 8.5.      No Assignment . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment of any Lease within the meaning of any provision thereof prohibiting its assignment, and Collateral Agent shall have no liability or obligation thereunder by reason of its acceptance of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.6.      Relationship of the Parties . The relationship of the Pledgors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, hereunder and under the Other Security Documents is strictly and solely that of lender and borrower and mortgagor and mortgagee, and nothing contained in the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, the Other Security Documents or any other document or instrument now existing and delivered in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the Obligations is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance be construed as creating, a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever between the Pledgors and the Secured Parties other than as lender and borrower and mortgagor and mortgagee.

Subject to Section 14.17 hereof, (a) all Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control and (b) all Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Pledgor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 11.2.
SECTION 11.2.      Application of Proceeds.



All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder as a result of its exercise of the rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement shall be applied in or towards satisfaction of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents and Section 14.17 hereof.
SECTION 11.3.      Code and Other Remedies .
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and Section 14.17 hereof:
(a)     The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Secured Parties in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Pledged Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable law or in equity.
(b)     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Pledgors or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
(c)     Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold or to become the licensor of all or any such Pledged Collateral, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgors, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Pledged Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Debtor Relief Laws (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Secured Party or Secured Parties in its or their respective individual capacities unless the requisite percentage of holders under the applicable Loan Document shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Pledged Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably to the Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their pro rata share of such Obligations. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of each Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waive (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
    (d)     Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent



shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Administrative Agent may sell the Pledged Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Pledged Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Pledged Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Pledgor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Pledged Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Pledged Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Pledged Collateral.
(e)    Subject to Section 14.17, the Administrative Agent shall deduct from any Proceeds received in respect of the Pledged Collateral all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies against the Pledged Collateral or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Pledged Collateral or in any way relating to the Pledged Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.2. Only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Pledgors. If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Pledged Collateral upon credit, the Pledgors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Pledged Collateral, the Administrative Agent may resell the Pledged Collateral and the Pledgors shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgors waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder.
SECTION 11.4.      Effect of Securities Laws . Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Securities Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Borrower to register



such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Borrower would agree to do so.
SECTION 11.5.      Deficiency . Each Pledgor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.

any of the Pledged Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and the Pledgors’ expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Pledged Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Pledgors might do.
Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and anything in this Section 11.6(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 11.6(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 11.6(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b)    If a Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Pledgors and the Pledgors failing to promptly comply therewith.
(c)    Subject to Section 14.17 hereof, the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 11.6, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due interest on the Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the Pledgors, shall be payable by the Pledgors to the Administrative Agent on demand.
(d)    Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Discharge of the Obligations.

The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Pledged Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Pledgor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or the other Security Documents or such other description as the Administrative Agent, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, this is a permissive right and does not relieve such Pledgor from its obligation as the party responsible for doing all things necessary to perfect the lien granted hereby including filing all financing statements and continuation statements.
SECTION 11.8.      Power of Attorney and Further Assurances: Further Assurances.



Each Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Pledgor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of any Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor shall:

COLLATERAL ACCOUNT
SECTION 13.1.      Establishment of Collateral Account . The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain in the name of such Collateral Agent and pursuant to a Control Agreement, a restricted deposit account designated “Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico LLC Collateral Account.” Each Pledgor shall deposit into the Collateral Account from time to time all amounts required to be deposited in the Collateral Account by the Credit Agreement and any amounts specifically required to be deposited therein by any other Loan Documents.
The balance from time to time in the Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Pledged Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may in its discretion apply or cause to be applied the balance from time to time outstanding to the credit of the Collateral Account to the payment of the Obligations in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement.



The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Account. If any Pledgor is required hereunder to deposit an amount of cash collateral into the Collateral Account as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount together with interest income (if any) (to the extent not applied as provided herein or in any other Loan Document) shall be returned to such Pledgor within three Business Days after all Defaults or Events of Default have been cured or waived.
Deposits shall be invested in cash or Cash Equivalents, which, other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be invested in such cash or Cash Equivalents as the applicable Pledgor may request. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at Pledgors’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.

MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 14.1.      Concerning Collateral Agent .
(a)      Authority of Collateral Agent .
(i)      Each Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Pledgors shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
(ii)      The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral Agent, including without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and the powers and duties and immunities of the Collateral Agent, are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of any other Loan Document.
(b)      Duty of Collateral Agent . The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors,



attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral upon the request of a Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to the Pledgors for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from their own gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to the Pledgors.
(c)      Exculpation of Collateral Agent .
(i)      The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or of any Security Document or the validity or perfection of any security interest or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Collateral Agent to the Secured Parties or by or on behalf of any Secured Party to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in connection with the Security Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of the Pledgors, the Company or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Security Documents or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.
(ii)      Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the Security Documents except to the extent caused solely and proximately by the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action in connection herewith or any of the Security Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have been instructed in respect thereof by the requisite percentage of holders under the Credit Agreement and, upon such instruction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such written instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Pledgors and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Security Documents in accordance with the Loan Documents or the instructions of the requisite percentage of holders under the applicable Loan Documents.



(iii)      No direction given to the Collateral Agent which imposes, or purports to impose, upon the Collateral Agent any obligation not set forth in or arising under this Agreement accepted or entered into by the Collateral Agent shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent.
(iv)      The Collateral Agent may resign at any time in accordance with the Loan Documents. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation in accordance with the Loan Documents, the provisions of Section 8 hereof and of the Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all Pledged Collateral within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Agent (such transfer to be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the retiring Collateral Agent), and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the retiring Collateral Agent and each Pledgor, if such Pledgor is a party thereto, as may be necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent.
(d)      Other Security Documents . If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type (each, an “ Other Security Document ”), in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such Other Security Document, this Agreement shall control, subject to Section 14.17 hereof; provided, however, that if this Agreement is silent on a particular matter and such Other Security Document contains a provision or provisions relating to such matter, this Agreement shall not be deemed to be in conflict with such Other Security Document with respect to such matter; provided, further, that if there is a conflict between this Agreement and such Other Security Document with respect to a particular matter and the provision or provisions of this Agreement are contrary to the operation of law, the Other Security Document shall control.
(e)      Delegation of Duties . The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Article 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to any of the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agents, and shall apply to their respective activities as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each sub-agent appointed by the Collateral Agent or Affiliate of the Collateral Agent or Affiliate of any such sub-agent shall be a third-party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third-party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Pledgors, the Company and the Secured Parties, and such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent or Affiliate acting in such capacity. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such sub-agent or Affiliate selected by it with reasonable care, except for acts or omissions of any such person that result from fraud, wilful default or gross misconduct.



(f)      No Individual Foreclosure, Etc. No Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral except to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Pledged Collateral provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to credit bid all or any part of the Obligations held by it.
SECTION 14.2.      Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification .
(a)      Each Pledgor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Collateral Agent, forthwith upon any request therefor from time to time, for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Pledgor or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Pledgor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Secured Party and of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to the Collateral Agent.
(b)      Each Pledgor agrees, forthwith upon any request therefor from time to time, to pay, and to save the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c)      Each Pledgor agrees, forthwith upon any request therefor from time to time, to pay, and to save the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent (including all indemnitees pursuant to the Credit Agreement), harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent such Pledgor would be required to do so pursuant to the Loan Documents (it being understood and agreed that the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 14.2(c) shall apply to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to the same extent that they apply to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents).
(d)      The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 14.3.      Successors and Assigns; Continuing Security Interest . This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgors and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that the Pledgors may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and any such assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void, except in connection with any assignment or transfer permitted by the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit



Agreement and, in the case of a Secured Party that is a party to a Secured Hedge Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement, such Secured Hedge Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement, as applicable.
Each of the Pledgors agrees that its obligations hereunder and the security interest created hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor or otherwise.
SECTION 14.4.      Termination; Release .
(a)      (i) When all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full and the Commitments of the Lenders to make any Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement shall have expired or been sooner terminated and all Letters of Credit have been terminated or cash collateralized in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and (ii) upon the disposition of any Pledged Collateral by any Pledgor (other than a disposition to another Pledgor) permitted by, and in accordance with, the Credit Agreement, the pledge hereunder in respect of such Pledged Collateral only shall terminate and such Pledged Collateral shall automatically be released from the Lien of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement the Pledged Collateral shall automatically be released from the Lien of this Agreement. Upon such release or any release of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, assign, transfer and deliver to Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent except as to the fact that the Collateral Agent has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Collateral Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral, proper documents and instruments (including UCC‑3 termination financing statements, mortgage releases, property releases or other releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case may be.
(b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full and the Commitments of the Lenders to make any Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement shall have expired or been sooner terminated and all Letters of Credit have been terminated or cash collateralized in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, (ii) Obligations of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of Obligations (“ Remaining Obligations ”) remain outstanding and (iii) all or a portion of the repayment of the Obligations is financed by the proceeds of Indebtedness of one or more Loan Parties or any affiliate of a Loan Party (“ Refinancing Indebtedness ”) which Refinancing Indebtedness is secured by property of such persons, this Agreement shall terminate as if the Remaining Obligations have been paid in full and the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 14.4 shall apply concurrently with the incurrence of the Refinancing Indebtedness and the securing of the Refinancing Indebtedness and the Remaining Obligations on an equal and ratable basis. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Refinancing Indebtedness is not secured, this Agreement shall not terminate but shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 14.5.      Amendments in Writing . None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each Pledgor and the Collateral Agent, provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing



obligations on a Pledgor may be waived by the Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents.

SECTION 14.7.      Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial . Sections 10.15 and 10.16 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis , as if a part hereof. Notwithstanding the above, each of the Pledgors agrees that in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Commercial Transactions Act, as amended, governs the attachment, constitution, perfection, priority or enforcement of the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent and a type of Collateral defined in this Agreement is not covered by the provisions of Chapter 9 of the Commercial Transactions Act, then the laws of the State of New York shall supplement the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico concerning the attachment, constitution, perfection, priority or enforcement, as applicable, of such security interest with respect to such property of a type that is outside of the scope of Chapter 9 of the Commercial Transactions Act but which is deemed Collateral under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by and that the Agreement shall apply the laws of the State of New York with respect to the attachment of the security interest granted hereunder.
SECTION 14.8.      Severability . Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 14.9.      Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic imaging means), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
SECTION 14.10.      Section Headings . The section headings and Table of Contents used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
SECTION 14.11.      Integration/Conflict . This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supercede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Parties relative to the subject



matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or therein. The rights, immunities and indemnities granted in this agreement are in addition to those granted to the Collateral Agent in the other Loan Documents and not intended to limit the Collateral Agent's rights therein.
SECTION 14.12.      Business Days . In the event any time period or any date provided in this Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.
SECTION 14.13.      No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Imposition . Such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Credit Agreement, and such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Tax on the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.
SECTION 14.14.      Waivers . Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:  
(a)      waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document executed or delivered in connection with the Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this section (and irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court);
(b)      waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; and

no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Pledgors and the Secured Parties.



SECTION 14.16.      Obligations Absolute . All obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(i)      any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any other Pledgor;
(ii)      any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any Hedging Agreement, any Treasury Services Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(iii)      any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any Hedging Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(vi)      any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor.
SECTION 14.17.      Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Liens and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the Liens and security interests granted in favor of the First Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), including Liens and security interests granted to The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent pursuant to or in connection with the First Lien Credit Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Obligations of the Pledgors under the Original Security Agreement and the grant of security interest in the Pledged Collateral by the Pledgors under the Original Security Agreement shall continue under this Agreement, and shall not in any event be terminated, extinguished or annulled or constitute an extinctive novation of the Obligations of the Pledgors under the Original Security Agreement, but shall hereafter be governed by this Agreement. All references to the term “Security Agreement” in any Loan Document (other than this Security Agreement) or other document or instrument delivered in connection therewith shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and the provisions hereof.

At all times prior to an Event of Default, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain, and to utilize free and clear of the security interest set forth herein, any and all payments of principal, interest or other amounts in respect of the Pledged Indebtedness, but only if and to the extent made in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
2.7.      Right to Realize upon Credit Security . Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law that cannot be waived, this Section 2.7 shall govern the Lenders’ right to realize upon the Credit Security if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The provisions of this Section 2.7 are in addition to any rights and remedies available at law or in equity and in addition to the provisions of any other Loan Document.



2.7.1.      General Authority . After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgor grants the Agent full and exclusive power and authority, subject to the other terms hereof and applicable law, to take any of the following actions (for the sole benefit of the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, but at the Pledgor’s expense):
(a)      To ask for, demand, take, collect, sue for and receive all payments in respect of the Credit Security which the Pledgor could otherwise ask for, demand, take, collect, sue for and receive for its own use.
(b)      To extend the time of payment of the Credit Security and to make any allowance or other adjustment with respect thereto.
(c)      To settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect to the Credit Security and to enforce all rights and remedies thereunder which the Pledgor could otherwise enforce.
(d)      To enforce the payment of the Credit Security, either in the name of the Pledgor or in its own name, and to endorse the name of the Pledgor on all checks, drafts, money orders and other instruments tendered to or received in payment of the Credit Security.
(e)      To notify the issuer with respect to the Credit Security of the existence of the security interest created hereby and to cause all payments in respect thereof thereafter to be made directly to the Agent.
(f)      To sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the Credit Security or the proceeds thereof, as fully as the Pledgor otherwise could do.
(g)      To transfer to or to register in the name of the Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Credit Security. In addition, the Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Credit Security for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgor will at its expense render all reasonable assistance to the Agent in collecting on the Credit Security and in enforcing any claims thereon.

2.7.2.      Marshaling, etc . No Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Pledgor or any other guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. No Secured Party shall be required to marshal the Credit Security or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Credit Security or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it



may lawfully do so, the Pledgor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Secured Parties, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of the Credit Security made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgor (a) agrees that it will not invoke or utilize any law which might prevent, cause a delay in or otherwise impede the enforcement of the rights of the Agent or any Secured Party in the Credit Security, (b) waives its rights under all such laws, and (c) agrees that it will not invoke or raise as a defense to any enforcement by the Agent or any Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Credit Security or the Obligations any legal or contractual requirement with which the Agent or any Secured Party may have in good faith failed to comply. In addition, the Pledgor waives any right to prior notice or judicial hearing in connection with foreclosure on or disposition of the Credit Security, including any such right which the Pledgor would otherwise have under the Constitution of the United States of America, any state or territory thereof or any other jurisdiction.
2.7.3.      Application of Proceeds . The proceeds of all sales and collections in respect of the Credit Security, all funds collected from the Pledgor and any cash contained in the Credit Security shall be applied in or towards the satisfaction of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
2.8.      Custody of Credit Security . Except as provided by applicable law that cannot be waived, the Agent will have no duty as to the custody and protection of the Credit Security, the collection of any part thereof or of any income thereon or the preservation or exercise of any rights pertaining thereto, including rights against prior parties, except for the use of reasonable care in the custody and physical preservation of any Credit Security in its possession. The Agent may delegate by power of attorney or in any other manner to any person any right, power or discretion exercisable by it under or in connection with this Agreement. The Lenders will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Credit Security, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any agent selected by the Agent, unless the selection of such agent itself was grossly negligent.

This Note is the Intercompany Note referred to in the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement.
This Note shall be pledged by the Borrower as Payee (i) to the First Lien Agent, for the benefit of the First Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties, pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents as collateral security for the full and prompt payment when due of, and the performance of, such Payee’s First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations and (ii) to the Second Lien Agent, for the benefit of the Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties, pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents as collateral security for the full and prompt payment when due of, and the performance of, such Payee’s Second Lien Credit Agreement Obligations.

Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is a Loan Party to any Payee that is not a Loan Party shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations of such Payor to the First Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties and to all Second Lien Credit Agreement Obligations of such Payor to the Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties; provided that each Payor may make payments to the applicable Payee so long as no Event of Default under and as defined in either the First Lien Credit Agreement or the Second Lien Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing (such First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations, Second Lien Credit Agreement Obligations and, in each case, other indebtedness and obligations in connection with any renewal, refunding, restructuring or refinancing thereof, including interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any proceedings referred to in clause (i) below, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding, being hereinafter collectively referred to as “ Senior Indebtedness ”):
(i)    In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to any Payor that is a Loan Party (each such Payor, an “ Affected Payor ”) or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of such Affected Payor (except as expressly permitted by the First Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents and the Second Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents), whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, if an Event of Default (as defined in either the First Lien Credit Agreement or the Second Lien Credit Agreement, as applicable) has occurred and is continuing (x) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (B) Obligations under Treasury Services Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) and no Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (unless the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or such Letter of Credit has been deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer) before any Payee that is not a Loan Party (each such Payee, an “ Affected Payee ”) is entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make any demands for, any payment on account of this Note and (y) until the holders of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (B) Obligations under Treasury Services Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) and no Letter of Credit shall



remain outstanding (unless the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or such Letter of Credit has been deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer), any payment or distribution to which such Affected Payee would otherwise be entitled (other than equity or debt securities of such Affected Payor that are subordinated, to at least the same extent as this Note, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (such securities being hereinafter referred to as “ Restructured Securities ”)) shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness;
(ii)    (x) if any Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a) or 8.01(f) of either the First Lien Credit Agreement or Second Lien Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing and (y) subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, either the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent delivers notice to the Borrower instructing the Borrower that the First Lien Agent or Second Lien Agent, as applicable, is thereby exercising its rights pursuant to this clause (ii) (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given in the case of any Event of Default arising under Section 8.01(f) of the First Lien Credit Agreement or Second Lien Credit Agreement, as applicable), then, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent (as applicable) in its reasonable discretion, no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of any Affected Payor or any other Person on its behalf, and no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be received by or on behalf of any Affected Payee or any other Person on its behalf, with respect to this Note until (x) the applicable Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted, (B) Obligations under Treasury Services Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements and (C) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related to any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or been deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer) or (y) such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived;
(iii)    if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Securities), in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Affected Payee in violation of the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered in accordance with the relevant Collateral Documents, the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement; and
(iv)    Each Affected Payor agrees to file all claims against each relevant Affected Payee in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Senior Indebtedness and the First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent (collectively, the “ Collateral Agents ”) shall be entitled to all of such Affected Payor’s rights thereunder. If for any reason an Affected Payor fails to file such claim at least ten (10) days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Affected Payor hereby irrevocably appoints each Collateral Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and each Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Affected Payor’s name to file such claim or, in such Collateral Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of such Collateral Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the applicable Collateral Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the



full extent necessary for that purpose, each Affected Payor hereby assigns to each of the Collateral Agents all of such Affected Payor’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Affected Payor otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Affected Payor’s liability hereunder, the Collateral Agents shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement and applicable law. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement, as applicable), each Affected Payor hereby irrevocably appoints each Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of such Affected Payor’s voting rights in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of each relevant Affected Payee.
Except as otherwise set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, any Payor is permitted to pay, and any Payee is entitled to receive, any payment or prepayment of principal and interest on the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination of this Note by any act or failure to act on the part of any Affected Payor or Affected Payee or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any trustee or agent for such holder. Each Affected Payee and each Affected Payor hereby agrees that the subordination of this Note is for the benefit of each Collateral Agent, each L/C Issuer and the other Secured Parties. Each Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties are obligees under this Note to the same extent as if their names were written herein as such and each Collateral Agent (or other applicable Representative) may, on behalf of itself, and the Secured Parties, proceed to enforce the subordination provisions herein, in each case, subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. In the event that the Borrower incurs any Additional Senior Debt pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, all applicable references herein to the First Lien Credit Agreement Obligations, the First Lien Credit Agreement and the First Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the then outstanding Senior Obligations and all related Senior Debt Documents, respectively, and in the event that the Borrower incurs any Additional Second Priority Debt pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, all applicable references herein to the Second Lien Credit Agreement Obligations, the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the then outstanding Second Priority Debt Obligations and all related Second Priority Debt Documents.
The Indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is not a Loan Party shall not be subordinated to, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with, any other obligation of such Payor.
Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of such Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
Each Payee is hereby authorized (but not required) to record all loans and advances made by it to any Payor (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein. For the avoidance of doubt, this Note shall not in any way replace, or affect the principal amount of, any intercompany loan outstanding between any Payor and any



Payee prior to the execution hereof, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, from and after the date hereof, each such intercompany loan shall be deemed to incorporate the terms set forth in this Note to the extent applicable and shall be deemed to be evidenced by this Note together with any documents and instruments executed prior to the date hereof in connection with such intercompany Indebtedness.
Each Payor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note. Except to the extent of any taxes required by law to be withheld, all payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
It is understood that this Note shall evidence only Indebtedness and not amounts owing in respect of accounts payable incurred in connection with goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary course of business and not in connection with the borrowing of money.
This Note shall be binding upon each Payor and its successors and assigns, and the terms and provisions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of each Payee and their respective successors and assigns, including subsequent holders hereof.
From time to time after the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become parties hereto (as Payor and/or Payee, as the case may be) by executing a counterpart signature page hereto, which shall be automatically incorporated into this Note (each additional Subsidiary, an “ Additional Party ”). Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page to the Payees, notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors, each Additional Party shall be a Payor and/or a Payee, as the case may be, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original signatory hereof. Each Payor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor or Payee hereunder.

of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall have priority over and be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations and (b) any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Second Priority Representative, any Second Priority Debt Parties or any Second Priority Representative or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any Senior Obligations. All Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any Senior Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Borrower, any Grantor or any other Person or otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed. Nature of Senior Lender Claims .      Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that (a) a portion of the Senior Obligations is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (b) the terms of the Senior Debt Documents and the Senior Obligations may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the Senior Obligations, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced from time to time and (c) subject to the proviso in the definition of Senior Obligations, the aggregate amount of the Senior Obligations may be increased, in each case, without notice to or consent by the Second Priority Representatives or the Second Priority Debt Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof.

As between the Borrower and the other Grantors and the Second Priority Debt Parties, the foregoing provisions will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower and the Grantors contained in any Second Priority Debt Document with respect to the incurrence of Additional Senior Debt Obligations.
Section 2.03      Prohibition on Contesting Liens .      Each of the Second Priority Representatives, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority, allowability, or enforceability of any Lien securing any Senior Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any of the other Senior Secured Parties or other agent or trustee therefor in any Senior Collateral, and each Senior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Secured Party under the applicable Senior Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority, allowability or enforceability of any Lien securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any of any Second Priority Representative or any of the Second Priority Debt Parties in the Second Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Senior Representative to enforce this Agreement (including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior Obligations as provided in Section 2.01) or any of the Senior Debt Documents.
Section 2.04      No New Liens .      The parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, (a) none of the Grantors shall (1) grant or permit any Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Second Priority Debt Obligation unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the Senior Obligations or (2) except as otherwise provided herein (including Section 2.06), grant or permit any Liens



on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Senior Obligation unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the Second Priority Debt Obligations; and (b) (1) if any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party shall hold or otherwise be granted any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations that are not also subject to the first-priority Liens securing all Senior Obligations under the Senior Collateral Documents, such Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party (A) shall notify the Designated Senior Representative promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to each Senior Representative as security for the Senior Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Designated Senior Representative as security for all Senior Obligations for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties (but may retain a junior lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) and (B) until such assignment or such grant of a similar Lien to each Senior Representative, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each Senior Representative and the other Senior Secured Parties as security for the Senior Obligations or (2) if any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party shall hold or otherwise be granted any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Senior Obligations that are not also subject to the second-priority Liens securing all Second Priority Debt Obligations under the Second Priority Collateral Documents, such Senior Representative or Senior Secured Party shall notify the Designated Second Priority Representative promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to each Second Priority Representative as security for the Second Priority Debt Obligations, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each Second Priority Representative and the other Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties as security for the Second Priority Debt Obligations subject to the same priority as the other Liens of the Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties are so subordinated to the Liens of the Senior Secured Parties under this Agreement.  To the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, each Second Priority Representative agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Debt Parties, that any amounts received by or distributed to any Second Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.04 shall be subject to Section 4.02.
Section 2.05      Perfection of Liens .      Except for the limited agreements of the Senior Representatives pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof, none of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Second Priority Representatives or the Second Priority Debt Parties. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties and shall not impose on the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives, the Second Priority Debt Parties or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of Proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.

Section 2.07      Similar Liens and Agreements .      Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (including Section 2.06), the parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the Senior Collateral and the Second Priority Collateral be identical. In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.13, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:
(a)      upon request by the Designated Senior Representative or the Second Priority Representative, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the Senior Collateral and the Second Priority Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Senior Debt Documents and the Second Priority Debt Documents; and
(b)      that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the Senior Collateral and the Second Priority Collateral and Guarantees for the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the senior and subordinate nature of the security interests in the Shared Collateral securing the respective Obligations thereunder.

Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that each Second Priority Collateral Document under its Second Priority Debt Facility shall include the following language (or language to similar effect reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative):
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the Second Priority Representative pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted in favor of the Senior Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement referred to below), including liens and security interests granted to The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent, pursuant to or in connection with the First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of [ ] among the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent and the other parties thereto, as amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Priority Representative hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement dated as of [ ] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise



modified from time to time, the “ Intercreditor Agreement ”), among The Bank of Nova Scotia, as First Lien Administrative Agent, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Second Lien Administrative Agent, each additional Second Priority Representative and Senior Representative from time to time party thereto, the Borrower and their respective subsidiaries and affiliated entities party thereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

(b)      In the event that each applicable Senior Representative and/or the Senior Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in Senior Collateral) in a manner that is applicable to all Senior Facilities, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each comparable Second Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party and without any action by any Second Priority Representative, the Borrower or any other Grantor; provided , however , that (i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall (A) remove assets subject to the Second Priority Liens or release any such Liens, except to the extent that such release is permitted or required by Section 5.01(a); provided further that there is a concurrent release of the corresponding Senior Liens or (B) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Second Priority Representative in its role as Second Priority Representative without its prior written consent and (ii) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to each Second Priority Representative within 10 Business Days after the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent.
(c)      The Borrower agrees to deliver to each of the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Second Priority Representative copies of (i) any amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Senior Debt Documents or the Second Priority Debt Documents and (ii) any new Senior Debt Documents or Second Priority Debt Documents promptly after effectiveness thereof.
Section 5.04      Rights as Unsecured Creditors .      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrower and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents and applicable law so long as such rights and remedies do not violate any express provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Second Priority Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Shared Collateral. In the event any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second Priority Debt Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the



Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral. Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection .    
(b)      In the event that any Senior Representative (or its agents or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property that is part of the Shared Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Shared Collateral, such Senior Representative agrees to hold such Liens as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for and on behalf of the relevant Second Priority Representatives and any assignee thereof, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.
(c)      Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under the Second Priority Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(d)      The Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Debt Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Representatives under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Second Priority Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Second Priority Representative.
(e)      The Senior Representatives shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, and each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases the Senior Representatives from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Senior Representatives’ roles under this Section 5.05 as sub-agents and gratuitous bailees with respect to the Shared Collateral.
(f)      Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each applicable Senior Representative shall, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, (i) (A) deliver to the Designated Second Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Senior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, or (B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (iii) notify any governmental



authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving any Grantor that the Designated Second Party Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding. The Borrower and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Senior Representative for loss or damage suffered by such Senior Representative as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by any such Person as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The Senior Representatives have no obligations to follow instructions from any Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Debt Party in contravention of this Agreement.
(g)      None of the Senior Representatives nor any of the other Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.
Section 5.06      When Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed To Not Have Occurred .      If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Borrower or any Subsidiary enters into any Refinancing of any Senior Obligations, then such Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the agent, representative or trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be the Senior Representative for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, that (i) such Refinancing of such Senior Obligations is permitted pursuant to the terms of then extant Senior Debt Documents and Second Priority Debt Documents and (ii) the Representative for the holders of such Refinancing of such Senior Obligations shall have become party to this Agreement pursuant to, and by satisfying the conditions set forth in, Section 8.09 hereof. Upon receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new Senior Representative), each Second Priority Representative (including the Designated Second Priority Representative) shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements, including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Borrower or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Senior Representative the rights of a Senior Representative contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to such Senior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Second Priority Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, and (c) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving a Grantor that the new Senior Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.
Section 5.07      Purchase Right.      Without prejudice to the enforcement of the Senior Secured Parties’ remedies, the Senior Secured Parties agree that following (a) acceleration of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement, (b) a payment default under the First Lien Credit Agreement that has not been cured or waived by the Senior Secured Parties



within ninety (90) days of the occurrence thereof or (c) the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding (each, a “ Purchase Event ”) with respect to the Borrower, within thirty (30) days of the Purchase Event, one or more of the Second Priority Debt Parties may request, and the applicable Senior Secured Parties hereby offer the Second Priority Debt Parties the option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the aggregate amount of outstanding Senior Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase at par (including by providing cash collateralization of 105% of the aggregate amount of outstanding L/C Obligations), plus any premium that would be applicable upon prepayment of the Senior Obligations and accrued and unpaid interest and fees, without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption (as such term is defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement)). If such right is exercised, the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the request. If one or more of the Second Priority Debt Parties exercise such purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the Senior Representative and the Second Priority Representative. If more than one Second Priority Debt Party has exercised such purchase right and the aggregate amount of all purchase right exercises exceeds the amount of the Senior Obligations, the amount with respect to which each exercising Second Priority Debt Party shall be deemed to have exercised its purchase right shall be reduced on a ratable basis according to the amounts of the original exercises of such purchase right by each such Second Priority Debt Party. If none of the Second Priority Debt Parties timely exercise such right, the Senior Secured Parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.07 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the Senior Debt Documents and this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI

Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings
Section 6.01      Financing Issues .      Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any Senior Representative shall desire to consent (or not object) to the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to consent (or not object) to the Borrower’s or any other Grantor’s obtaining financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“ DIP Financing ”), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest (a) such sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral, unless a Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party shall oppose or object to such use of cash collateral (in which case, no Second Priority Representative nor any other Second Priority Debt Party shall seek any relief in connection therewith that is inconsistent with the relief being sought by the Senior Secured Parties); (b) such DIP Financing, unless a Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party shall oppose or object to such DIP Financing ( provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Second Priority Debt Parties from proposing any other DIP Financing that is either pari passu with or junior to the Senior Obligations to any Grantors or to a court of competent jurisdiction), and, except to the extent permitted by the proviso to clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a) and by Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (y) any adequate protection Liens provided to the Senior Secured Parties, and (z) to any “carve-out” for



professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Representatives provided that as the maximum amount of indebtedness that may be outstanding from time to time in connection with such DIP Financing (not including any Senior Obligations rolled up therein) shall not exceed an amount equal to 10% of the maximum amount of Senior Obligations permitted to be outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement Loan Documents (as in effect on the date hereof) on the date of the commencement of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (c) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations made by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, (d) any exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to credit bid Senior Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Collateral or otherwise under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (e) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral or (f) any order relating to a sale or other disposition of assets of any Grantor to which any Senior Representative has consented or not objected that provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties may assert any objection to the proposed bidding procedures or protections to be utilized in connection with any such sale or other disposition that may be asserted by any unsecured creditor of any Grantor, and provided, further, that the Second Lien Credit Agreement Secured Parties are not deemed to have waived any rights to credit bid on the Shared Collateral in any such sale or disposition under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other applicable law, so long as any such credit bid provides for the payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that notice received two Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash or other collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice.
Section 6.02      Relief from the Automatic Stay .      Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative.
Section 6.03      Adequate Protection .      Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall (A) object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection, (b) any objection by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any Senior Representative’s or Senior Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (B) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional or replacement collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any



similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral or a superpriority claim, which (A) Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing all Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (B) superpriority claim is subordinated to all claims of the Senior Secured Parties, (ii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of additional or replacement collateral, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as security for the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement (and, to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Second Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral so granted to the Second Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02), and (iii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of a superpriority claim, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority claim, which superpriority claim shall be senior to the superpriority claim of the Second Priority Debt Parties (and, to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Second Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any such superpriority claim so granted to the Second Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Senior Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition interest, incurred fees and expenses, or other cash payments, then the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall not be prohibited from seeking adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition interest, incurred fees and expenses or other cash payments (subject to the right of the Senior Secured Parties to object to the amounts so sought by the Second Priority Debt Parties). Preference Issues .      If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Borrower or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “ Recovery ”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of



the parties hereto. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise (it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement).
Section 6.05      Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications .      Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Second Priority Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Debt Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable) before any distribution is made from the Shared Collateral in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations), and each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees to turn over to the Designated Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the Shared Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Debt Parties. No Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties .      Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Debt Party, including the seeking by any Second Priority Debt Party of adequate protection or the assertion by any Second Priority Debt Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Debt Documents or otherwise.
Section 6.07      Application .      This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights as to the Shared Collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.
Section 6.08      Other Matters .      To the extent that any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy



Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, such Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, or such Second Priority Debt Party agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of each Senior Representative; provided that if requested by any Senior Representative, such Second Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Senior Representatives (acting unanimously), including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.
Section 6.09      506(c) Claims .      Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral.
Section 6.10      Reorganization Securities .    If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Second Priority Debt Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.
(b)      No Second Priority Debt Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative or to the extent any such plan is proposed or supported by the number of Senior Secured Parties required under Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 6.11      Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code .      Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any Senior Secured Party to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any senior claimholder arising out of the election by any Senior Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 6.12      Post-Petition Claims .    No Second Priority Representative nor any other Second Priority Debt Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, costs, charges or expenses to the extent of the value of the Senior Representative’s Lien held for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Second Priority Representatives on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties on the Shared Collateral.



(b)      No Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Priority Debt Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, costs, charges or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Priority Representatives on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties on the Shared Collateral (after taking into account the Senior Obligations).

Section 7.01      Reliance .      All loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior Secured Parties to the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Second Priority Debt Parties have, independently and without reliance on any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Second Priority Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Second Priority Debt Documents or this Agreement.

The Senior Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreement with the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including the Second Priority Debt Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectibility of any of the Senior Obligations, the Second Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
Section 7.03      Obligations Unconditional .      All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives



and the Second Priority Debt Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document or any Second Priority Debt Document;
(b)      any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement or any other Senior Debt Document or of the terms of any Second Priority Debt Document;

The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 8.03(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

(b)      This Agreement may be amended in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility); provided that any such amendment, supplement or waiver which by the terms of this Agreement requires the Borrower’s consent or which increases the obligations or reduces the rights of, or otherwise materially adversely affects, the Borrower or any Grantor, shall require the consent of the Borrower. Any such amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
(c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 8.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.

Exhibit 99.1

Liberty Global Launches LiLAC Tracking Stock
Advanced cable platforms well-positioned to exploit organic growth potential, as well as M&A opportunities across the region
Trading will begin tomorrow, July 2, 2015, at 09:30 a.m. EDT

Denver, Colorado – July 1, 2015:

Liberty Global plc (“Liberty Global”) (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB and LBTYK) today announced that it completed its previously announced distribution of the tracking stock for its operations in Latin America and the Caribbean (the “LiLAC Group”) to shareholders. These ordinary shares will begin regular-way trading on July 2, 2015, at 09:30 a.m. EDT. The LiLAC Class A (LILA) and Class C (LILAK) ordinary shares will trade on NASDAQ, and the LiLAC Class B (LILAB) ordinary shares will trade on OTC Link. The Liberty Global Class A, Class B and Class C ordinary shares will continue to trade on NASDAQ under the symbols LBTYA, LBTYB and LBTYK, respectively.

Mike Fries, CEO of Liberty Global, stated, “The launch of our LiLAC tracking stock is an exciting event, which we believe will enhance long-term equity value for shareholders. Our cable operations in Chile and Puerto Rico are two of the most advanced platforms in the region. Both businesses have consistently delivered strong financial results and should continue to generate mid- to high-single-digit rebased OCF growth going forward. LiLAC is also uniquely positioned to exploit the highly fragmented landscape characterized by low broadband and pay TV penetrations.”

The LiLAC Group tracking stock forms a “pure-play” cable stock focused on Latin America and the Caribbean, giving shareholders the opportunity to invest directly in the region. The LiLAC Group initially has attributed to it Liberty Global’s Chilean business, VTR, the largest cable operator in Chile, as well as our 60% interest in the largest cable company in Puerto Rico, Liberty Cablevision. The entities comprising the LiLAC Group also have $100 million of cash provided by Liberty Global in order to provide liquidity to fund, amongst other things, ongoing operating costs and acquisitions. Following the completion of the Choice acquisition on June 3, 2015, LiLAC now passes over 4 million homes, serving approximately 3.4 million revenue generating units (“RGUs) 1 and generating over $1.2 billion of annual revenue. For more information please see the LiLAC Group presentation posted on June 30, 2015, in the presentations and webcasts section in the Investor Relations section of our website www.libertyglobal.com.

Distribution of LiLAC Tracking Stock to Shareholders
At the close of trading today, July 1, 2015, Liberty Global distributed, as a dividend (or a “bonus issue” under U.K. law), to holders of its Class A, Class B and Class C ordinary shares as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 24, 2015 (the “record date”), one share of the corresponding class of LiLAC Group ordinary shares for each 20 Liberty Global ordinary shares held by each shareholder as of the record date. We distributed approximately 12.6 million LILA, 0.5 million LILAB and 30.8 million LILAK shares in total. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional LiLAC Group ordinary shares.
