PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS

References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to the “Company,” “Triton,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Triton International Limited and, where appropriate, its consolidated subsidiaries.

Our Company

Triton is the world's largest lessor of intermodal containers. Intermodal containers are large, standardized steel boxes used to transport freight by ship, rail or truck. Because of the handling efficiencies they provide, intermodal containers are the primary means by which many goods and materials are shipped internationally. We also lease chassis, which are used for the transportation of containers.

Our consolidated operations include the acquisition, leasing, re-leasing and subsequent sale of multiple types of intermodal containers and chassis. As of December 31, 2022, our total fleet consisted of 4.2 million containers and chassis, representing 7.2 million twenty-foot equivalent units ("TEU") or 7.9 million cost equivalent units ("CEU"). We have an extensive global presence offering leasing services through a worldwide network of local offices and utilize third-party container depots spread across 46 countries to provide customers global access to our container fleet. Our primary customers include the world's largest container shipping lines. Our global field operations include sales, operations, equipment resale, and logistics services. Our registered office is located in Bermuda.

The most important driver of our profitability is the extent to which leasing revenues, which are driven by our owned equipment fleet size, utilization and average rental rates, exceed our ownership and operating costs. Our profitability is also driven by the gains or losses we realize on the sale of used containers and the margins generated from trading new and used containers.

Industry Overview

Intermodal containers provide a secure and cost-effective method of transporting raw materials, component parts and finished goods because they can be used in multiple modes of transport. By making it possible to move cargo from a point of origin to a final destination without repeated unpacking and repacking, containers reduce freight and labor costs. In addition, automated handling of containers permits faster loading and unloading of vessels, more efficient utilization of transportation equipment and reduced transit time. The protection provided by sealed containers also reduces cargo damage and the loss and theft of goods during shipment.

Worldwide containerized cargo volumes have increased at an average annual rate of 3.0% from 2012 to 2022, generally in line with average global economic growth. In 2022, worldwide cargo volumes are estimated to have decreased 3.2%.

Container leasing companies maintain inventories of new and used containers in a wide range of worldwide locations and supply these containers primarily to shipping line customers under a variety of short and long-term lease structures. Based on container fleet information reported by Drewry Maritime Research, we estimate that container lessors owned approximately 25.1 million TEU, or approximately 49% of the total worldwide container fleet of 50.8 million TEU, as of the end of 2022.

Leasing containers helps shipping lines improve their container fleet efficiency and provides shipping lines with an alternative source of equipment financing. Given the uncertainty and variability of export volumes, and the fact that shipping lines have difficulty in accurately forecasting their container requirements on a day-by-day, port-by-port basis, the availability of containers for lease on short notice reduces shipping lines' need to purchase and maintain larger container inventory buffers. In addition, the drop-off flexibility provided by operating leases also allows the shipping lines to adjust their container fleet sizes and the mix of container types in their fleets both seasonally and over time and helps balance their trade flows.

Spot leasing rates are typically a function of, among other things, new equipment prices (which are heavily influenced by steel prices), interest rates and the equipment supply and demand balance at a particular time and location. Average leasing rates on an entire portfolio of leases respond more gradually to changes in new equipment prices or changes in the balance of container supply and demand because lease agreements are generally only re-priced upon the expiration of the lease. The value that lessors receive upon resale of equipment is closely related to the cost of new equipment.

Our Equipment

Intermodal containers are designed to meet a number of criteria outlined by the International Standards Organization (ISO). The standard criteria include the size of the container and the gross weight rating of the container. This standardization ensures that containers can be used by the widest possible number of transporters and it facilitates container and vessel sharing by the shipping lines. The standardization of the container is also an important element of the container leasing business since we can operate one fleet of containers that can be used by all of our major customers.

Our fleet primarily consists of five types of equipment:
Dry Containers.  A dry container is a steel constructed box with a set of doors on one end. Dry containers come in lengths of 20, 40 or 45 feet. They are 8 feet wide, and either 8½ or 9½ feet tall. Dry containers are the least expensive and most widely used type of intermodal container and are used to carry general cargo such as manufactured component parts, consumer staples, electronics and apparel.
Refrigerated Containers.  Refrigerated containers include a fully installed cooling machine and an insulated container. Refrigerated containers come in lengths of 20 or 40 feet. They are 8 feet wide, and are either 8½ or 9½ feet tall. These containers are used for perishable items such as fresh and frozen foods.
Special Containers.  Most of our special containers are open top and flat rack containers. Open top containers come in similar sizes as dry containers, but do not have a fixed roof. Flat rack containers come in varying sizes and are steel platforms with folding ends and no fixed sides. Open top and flat rack containers are used to move heavy or over-sized cargos, such as marble slabs, steel coils or factory components, that cannot be easily loaded on a fork lift through the doors of a standard container.
Tank Containers.  Tank containers are stainless steel cylindrical tanks enclosed in rectangular steel frames with the same outside dimensions as 20 foot dry containers. These containers carry bulk liquids such as chemicals.
Chassis.  An intermodal chassis is a rectangular, wheeled steel frame, generally 23½, 40 or 45 feet in length, built specifically for the purpose of transporting intermodal containers on the road. Longer sized chassis, designed to solely accommodate rail containers, can be up to 53 feet in length. When mounted on a chassis, the container may be trucked either to its destination or to a railroad terminal for loading onto a rail car. Our chassis are primarily used in the United States.

Segments

We operate our business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and have two business segments, which also represent our reporting segments:
Equipment leasing—Our equipment leasing operations include the acquisition, leasing, re-leasing and ultimate sale of multiple types of intermodal transportation equipment, primarily intermodal containers.
Equipment trading—We purchase containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resell these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment.

Our Leases

Most of our revenues are derived from leasing our equipment to our core shipping line customers. The majority of our leases are structured as operating leases, though we also provide customers with finance leases. Regardless of the lease type, we seek to exceed our targeted return on our investments over the life cycle of the equipment by managing utilization, lease rates, and the used equipment sale process.
     
Our lease products provide numerous operational and financial benefits to our shipping line customers. These benefits include:
Operating Flexibility.  The timing, location and daily volume of cargo movements for a shipping line are often unpredictable. Leasing containers and chassis helps our customers manage this uncertainty and reduces the requirement for inventory buffers by allowing them to pick-up leased equipment on short notice.
Fleet Size and Mix Flexibility.  The drop-off flexibility included in container and chassis operating leases allows our customers to more quickly adjust the size of their fleets and the mix of container types in their fleets as their trade volumes and patterns change due to seasonality, market changes or changes in company strategies.
Alternative Source of Financing.  Container and chassis leases provide an additional source of equipment financing to help our customers manage the high level of investment required to keep pace with the growth of the asset intensive container shipping industry.


7


Operating Leases.    Operating leases are structured to allow customers flexibility to pick-up equipment on short notice and to drop-off equipment prior to the end of its useful life. Because of this flexibility, most of our containers and chassis will go through several pick-up and drop-off cycles. Our operating lease contracts specify a per diem rate for equipment on-hire, where and when such equipment can be returned, how the customer will be charged for damage and the charge for lost or destroyed equipment, among other things.

We categorize our operating leases as either long-term leases or service leases. Some leases have contractual terms that have features reflective of both long-term and service leases. We classify such leases as either long-term or service leases, depending upon which features we believe are predominant. For example, some leases that provide redelivery flexibility during the lease term are classified as long-term leases in cases where lessees have made large upfront payments to reduce their lease payment during the lease term or in cases where lessees will incur significant redelivery fees if containers are returned during the lease term. Such leases are generally considered to be long-term leases based on the expected on-hire time and the economic protection achieved by the lease economics. Our long-term leases generally require our customers to maintain specific units on-hire for the duration of the lease term, and they provide us with predictable recurring cash flow. Long-term leases typically have initial contractual terms ranging from five to eight or more years. However, in 2021 and the first half of 2022, the exceptionally high new container price environment led to a much higher average lease duration for containers purchased and leased out during the year, reflecting the preference of Triton and our customers to spread the higher container costs over a longer period.

We also have expired long-term leases whose fixed terms have ended but for which the related units remain on-hire and for which we continue to receive rental payments pursuant to the terms of the initial contract.

Service leases allow our customers to pick-up and drop-off equipment during the term of the lease, subject to contractual limitations. Service leases provide the customer with a higher level of flexibility than long-term leases and, as a result, typically carry a higher per diem rate. The terms of our service leases can range from 12 months to five years, though because equipment can be returned during the term of a service lease and since service leases are generally renewed or modified and extended upon expiration, lease term does not dictate expected on-hire time for our equipment on service leases. As of December 31, 2022, containers on service leases have been on-hire for an average of 36 months.

Finance Leases.    Finance leases provide our customers with an alternative method to finance their equipment acquisitions. Finance leases are generally structured for specific quantities of equipment, generally require the customer to keep the equipment on-hire for its remaining useful life, and typically provide the customer with a purchase option at the end of the lease term.

The following table provides a summary of our equipment lease portfolio by lease type, based on CEU and net book value, as of December 31, 2022:
By CEUBy Net Book Value
Lease PortfolioDecember 31, 2022December 31, 2022
Long-term leases72.4 %72.8 %
Finance leases9.0 15.4 
Subtotal81.4 88.2 
Service leases6.7 4.2 
Expired long-term leases, non-sale age (units on hire)6.8 5.0 
Expired long-term leases, sale-age (units on hire)5.1 2.6 
Total100.0 %100.0 %

As of December 31, 2022, our long-term and finance leases combined had a weighted average remaining contractual term by CEU and net book value of approximately 59 months and 76 months, respectively, assuming no leases are renewed. However, we believe that many of our customers will renew operating leases for equipment that is less than sale age at the expiration of the lease. In addition, even without lease renewal, our equipment on operating leases typically remains on-hire at the contractual per diem rate for an additional six to twelve months beyond the end of the contractual lease term due to monthly drop-off volume limitations and the logistical requirements in our leases that require our customers to return the containers and chassis to specific drop-off locations.

Logistics Management, Re-leasing, Depot Management and Equipment Disposals

We believe that managing the period after our equipment's first lease is the most important aspect of our business. Successful management of this period requires disciplined logistics management, extensive re-lease capability, careful cost control and effective sales of used equipment.

Logistics Management.    Since the late 1990s, the shipping industry has been characterized by large regional trade imbalances, with loaded containers generally flowing from export-oriented economies in Asia to North America and Western Europe. Because of these trade imbalances, shipping lines have an incentive to return leased containers in North America and Europe to reduce the cost of empty container backhaul. Triton attempts to mitigate the risk of these unbalanced trade flows by maintaining a large portion of our fleet on long-term and finance leases and by contractually restricting the ability of our customers to return containers outside of Asian demand locations.

In addition, we attempt to minimize the costs of any container imbalances by finding local users in surplus locations and by moving empty containers as inexpensively as possible. While we believe we manage our logistics risks and costs effectively, logistical risk remains an important element of our business due to competitive pressures, changing trade patterns and other market factors and uncertainties.

Re-leasing.    Since our operating leases allow customers to return containers and chassis prior to the end of their useful lives, we typically place containers and chassis on several leases during their useful lives. Initial lease transactions for new containers and chassis can usually be generated with a limited sales and customer service infrastructure because initial leases for new containers and chassis typically cover large volumes of units and are fairly standardized transactions. Used equipment, on the other hand, is typically leased out in small transactions that are structured to accommodate pick-ups and returns in a variety of locations. As a result, leasing companies benefit from having an extensive global marketing and operations infrastructure, a large number of customers, and a high level of operating contact with these customers.

Depot Management.    As of December 31, 2022, we managed our equipment fleet through approximately 400 third-party owned and operated depot facilities located in 46 countries. Depot facilities are generally responsible for repairing our containers and chassis when they are returned by lessees and for storing the equipment while it is off-hire. We have a global operations group that is responsible for managing our depot relationships and they also regularly visit the depot facilities to conduct inventory and repair audits. We also supplement our internal operations group with the use of independent inspection agents.

Our leases are generally structured so that the lessee is responsible for the customer damage portion of the repair costs, and customers are billed for damages at the time the equipment is returned. We sometimes offer our customers a repair service program whereby we, for an additional payment by the lessee (in the form of a higher per-diem rate or a flat fee at off-hire), assume financial responsibility for all or a portion of the cost of repairs upon return of the equipment.

During 2022, as supply chain disruptions eased and consumer demand declined from the levels experienced at the height of the pandemic, decreases in fleet utilization have created significant demand for depot storage capacity. To address the increased need for storage capacity, we have actively expanded available storage space where possible and worked with customers to limit redeliveries in certain locations.

Equipment Disposals.    Our in-house equipment sales group has a worldwide team of specialists that manage the sale process for our used containers and chassis from our lease fleet. We generally sell to portable storage companies, freight forwarders (who often use the containers for one-way trips) and other purchasers of used containers. We believe we are one of the world's largest sellers of used containers.

The sale prices we receive for our used containers are influenced by many factors, including the level of demand for used containers compared to the number of used containers available for disposal in a particular location, the cost of new containers, and the level of damage on the containers. While our total revenue is primarily made up of leasing revenues, gains or losses on the sale of used containers can have a significant positive or negative impact on our profitability.

Equipment Trading.    We also buy and sell new and used containers and chassis acquired from third parties. We typically purchase our equipment trading fleet from container manufacturers, our shipping line customers or other sellers of used or new equipment. Trading margins are dependent on the volume of units purchased and resold, selling prices, costs paid for equipment sold and selling and administrative costs.

Locations

We have an extensive global presence, offering leasing services through 21 offices and 2 independent agencies located in 15 countries. Our extensive third-party depot network allows us to offer leasing and/or sales services in approximately 300 locations globally.

Customers

Our customers are mainly international shipping lines, though we also lease containers to freight forwarding companies and manufacturers. We believe that we have strong, long-standing relationships with our largest customers, most of whom we have done business with for more than 30 years. Our twenty largest customers account for 85% of our lease billings. The shipping industry has been consolidating for a number of years, and further consolidation could increase the portion of our revenues that come from our largest customers. Our five largest customers accounted for 62% of our lease billings, and our three largest customers accounted for 20%, 17% and 11% of our lease billings, respectively, in 2022. A default by one of our major customers could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and future prospects.

Marketing and Customer Service

Our global marketing team and our customer service representatives are responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with senior operations staff at our shipping line customers, supporting lease negotiations and maintaining day-to-day coordination with junior level staff at our customers. This close customer communication is critical to our ability to provide customers with a high level of service, helps us to finalize lease contracts that satisfy both our financial return requirements and our customers' operating needs, ensures that we are aware of our customers' potential equipment shortages, and provides customers knowledge of our available equipment inventories.

Credit Controls

We monitor our customers' performance and our lease exposures on an ongoing basis. Our credit management processes are aided by the long payment experience we have with most of our customers and our broad network of relationships in the shipping industry that provides current information about our customers' market reputations. Credit criteria may include, but are not limited to, customer payment history, customer financial position and performance (e.g., net worth, leverage, and profitability), trade routes, country of domicile and the type of, and location of, equipment that is to be supplied.

Competition

We compete with at least five other major intermodal equipment leasing companies in addition to many smaller lessors, manufacturers of intermodal equipment, and companies offering finance leases as distinct from operating leases. It is common for our customers to utilize several leasing companies to meet their equipment needs.

Our competitors compete with us in many ways, including lease pricing, lease flexibility, supply reliability and customer service. In times of weak demand or excess supply, leasing companies often respond by lowering leasing rates and increasing the logistical flexibility offered in their lease agreements. In addition, new entrants into the leasing business are often aggressive on pricing and lease flexibility. Furthermore, customers also have the option to purchase intermodal equipment and utilize owned equipment instead of leasing, relying on their own fleets to satisfy their intermodal equipment needs and even leasing their excess container stock to other shipping companies.

While we are forced to compete aggressively on price, we attempt to emphasize our supply reliability and high level of customer service to our customers. We invest heavily to ensure adequate equipment availability in high demand locations, dedicate large portions of our organization to building customer relationships and maintaining close day-to-day coordination with customers' operating staffs, and have developed self-service systems that allow our customers to transact with us through the Internet.

Suppliers

 We have long-standing relationships with all of our major suppliers. We purchase most of our equipment from third-party manufacturers based in China. There are four large manufacturers of dry containers and four large manufacturers of refrigerated containers. For both dry containers and refrigerated containers, we estimate that the four largest manufacturers account for more than 90% of global production volume. Our procurement and engineering staff reviews the designs for our
10


containers and periodically audits the production facilities of our suppliers. In addition, we use our procurement and engineering group and third-party inspectors to visit factories when our containers are being produced to provide an extra layer of quality control. Nevertheless, defects in our containers sometimes occur. We work with the manufacturers to correct these defects, and our manufacturers have generally honored their warranty obligations in such cases.

Systems and Information Technology

The efficient operation of our business is highly dependent on our information technology systems to track transactions, bill customers and provide the information needed to report our financial results. Our systems allow customers to facilitate sales orders and drop-off requests on the Internet, view current inventories and check contractual terms in effect with respect to any given container lease agreement. Our systems also maintain a database, which accounts for the containers in our fleet and our leasing agreements, processes leasing and sale transactions, and bills our customers for their use of and damage to our containers. We also use the information provided by these systems in our day-to-day business to make business decisions and improve our operations and customer service.

Human Capital Management

We seek to attract, retain, and develop the best talent available in order to drive our continued success and achieve our business goals. Our workforce as of December 31, 2022 was comprised of approximately 244 employees located in 21 offices and 13 countries. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. Our workforce remained relatively unchanged in 2022 compared to 2021. Voluntary workforce turnover for the year was approximately 4%.

Our approach to human capital management is underpinned by our corporate culture, which seeks to foster an inclusive and respectful work environment where employees are empowered at all levels to implement new ideas to better serve our global customer base and continuously improve our processes and operations. This culture is supported by a flat organizational structure that enables speed of decision making and execution; compensation programs that emphasize Company-wide common shared objectives; a diverse, international team that mirrors our local communities and customer base; robust training and development opportunities; and resources for employees to seek guidance and raise concerns when needed. We believe the combination of competitive compensation and benefits, career growth and development opportunities and our strong corporate culture promote long employee tenure and low voluntary turnover. As of December 31, 2022, our average employee tenure was 14 years for all employees and 24 years for leadership (defined as vice president level and above). In 2022, 51% of open positions were filled with internal candidates.

As of December 31, 2022, our global workforce was approximately 59% male and 41% female. Approximately 40% of our workforce is located outside the United States, and in the United States, approximately 30% of our workforce was comprised of racial and ethnic minorities. Triton is committed to diversity and inclusion across our Company, and we have a number of programs and initiatives in place aimed at further promoting diversity and inclusion in our organization.

In 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to have an impact on our human capital management. As pandemic workplace restrictions eased, we took a phased and flexible approach to reopening our offices, in accordance with local laws and regulations. In several locations, depending on local factors and business needs, we implemented hybrid work arrangements in connection with our employees’ return to the office. While temporary lockdowns or restrictions affected some of our offices during the year, as of December 31, 2022, all of our offices had reopened. We will continue to monitor developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and, where necessary, implement appropriate measures to protect the health and safety of our employees.

For additional information, please see the section titled “Human Capital Management, Talent Development and Succession Planning” in our Proxy Statement.

Environmental and Other Regulation

We are subject to various business impacts associated with environmental regulations, including potential liability due to accidental discharge from our containers, potential equipment obsolescence or retrofitting expenses due to changes in environmental regulations, and increased risk of container performance problems due to container design changes driven by environmental factors. These risks are particularly significant for our refrigerated container product line, as environmental regulations have targeted the global warming potential of chemical refrigerants and the blowing agent historically used in the insulation for refrigerated containers. Refrigerated container manufacturers have also changed the treatment process for the steel frame of refrigerated containers in a way that may lead to increased corrosion. Additional information on environmental
11


and equipment performance risks is located in the Risk Factors section.

While we maintain environmental liability insurance coverage, and the terms of our leases and other arrangements for use of our containers place the responsibility for environmental liability on the end user, we still may be subject to environmental liability in connection with our current or historical operations. In certain countries like the United States, the owner of a leased container may be liable for the costs of environmental damage from the discharge of the contents of the container even though the owner is not at fault. Our lessees are required to indemnify us from environmental claims and our standard master tank container lease agreement contains an insurance clause that requires our tank container lessees to carry pollution liability insurance.

Our operations are also subject to regulations promulgated in various countries, including the United States, seeking to protect the integrity of international commerce and prevent the use of equipment for international terrorism or other illicit activities, as well as regulations implementing equipment safety measures. As these regulations develop and change, we may incur increased compliance costs due to the acquisition of new, compliant equipment and/or the adaptation of existing equipment to meet new requirements imposed by such regulations. Violations of these rules and regulations can also result in substantial fines and penalties, including potential limitations on operations or forfeitures of assets. Additionally, we may be affected by future regulation related to supply chain management that could impact our equipment and operations.

Currency

The U.S. dollar is the operating currency for the large majority of our leases and obligations, and most of our revenues and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we pay our non-U.S. staff in local currencies, and our direct operating expenses and disposal transactions for our older containers are often structured in foreign currencies. We record realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses primarily due to fluctuations in exchange rates related to our Euro and Pound Sterling transactions and related assets and liabilities.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

The international nature of our business exposes us to numerous risks.

We are subject to numerous risks inherent in conducting business across national boundaries, any one of which could adversely impact our business. Several of these risks are discussed in more detail throughout this Risk Factors section. Additional risks of international operations include, but are not limited to:

the imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers;
difficulties with enforcement of lessees' obligations across various jurisdictions;
changes in governmental policy or regulation affecting our business and industry, including as a result of the political relationship between the U.S. and other countries;
restrictions on the transfer of funds into or out of countries in which we operate;
political and social unrest or instability;
nationalization of foreign assets;
military conflicts;
government protectionism;
health or similar issues, including epidemics and pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic; and
labor or other disruptions at key ports or at manufacturing facilities of our suppliers.

Our ability to enforce lessees’ obligations will be subject to applicable law in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. As containers are used in international commerce, it is not possible to predict, with any degree of certainty, the jurisdictions in which enforcement proceedings may be commenced. For example, repossession from defaulting lessees may be difficult and more expensive in jurisdictions in which laws do not confer the same security interests and rights to creditors and lessors as those in the United States and in other jurisdictions where recovery of containers from defaulting lessees is more cumbersome. As a result, the costs, relative success and expedience of collecting receivables or pursuing enforcement proceedings with respect to containers in various jurisdictions cannot be predicted.

Substantial supply chain bottlenecks and other logistical constraints such as the ones experienced in 2021 and 2022 could lead to increased government regulation which may negatively impact container flows and container demand, as well as lead to higher costs of conducting business globally. Any one or more of these or other factors could adversely affect our current or future international operations and business.

Container leasing demand can be negatively affected by decreases in global trade due to global and regional economic downturns and other adverse macroeconomic conditions.

Overall demand for containers depends largely on the rate of world trade and economic growth. Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including significant downturns in global economic growth, recessionary conditions in major geographic regions, inflation and attempts to control inflation, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, and higher interest rates, can negatively affect container demand and lessors' decisions to lease containers. During economic downturns and periods of reduced trade, shipping lines tend to use and lease fewer containers, or lease containers only at reduced rates, and tend to rely more on their own fleets to satisfy a greater percentage of their requirements. As a result, during periods of weak global economic activity or reduced trade, container lessors typically experience decreased leasing demand, decreased equipment utilization, lower average rental rates, decreased leasing revenue, decreased used container resale prices and significantly decreased profitability.

Container leasing demand was weak in the second half of 2022 and remains weak at the start of 2023. Global trade volumes have decreased over the last several quarters as consumers have shifted spending back to services following a pandemic-related surge in goods consumption in 2020 and 2021. In addition, high energy prices and increased interest rates have decreased consumers’ disposable income. Expectations for reduced economic growth have further impacted consumer and business spending. Our equipment investment level, utilization and used container sale prices have been decreasing in response to weak container demand, leading to decreases in our leasing revenue, used container disposal gains and container trading margins. The impacts of global and regional economic downturns and other adverse macroeconomic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, profitability and cash flows.

Increased tariffs or other trade actions could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The international nature of our business and the container shipping industry exposes us to risks relating to the imposition of import and export duties, quotas and tariffs. These risks have increased over the last several years as the United States and other countries have adopted protectionist trade policies and as companies look to on-shoring or near-shoring their production to address material and parts shortages and/or increased costs due to these actions. Trade growth and demand for leased containers decreased from 2018 to 2019 due to a trade dispute between the United States and China that led to both countries imposing tariffs on imported goods from the other. While the United States and China agreed in January 2020 to limit further actions, significant uncertainty remains about the future relationship between the United States and China as tariffs and other trade barriers remain historically high, other key areas of economic and foreign policy difference remain unresolved and tensions remain elevated. Given the importance of the United States and China in the global economy, continued or increased tensions between these countries could significantly reduce the volume of goods traded internationally and reduce the rate of global economic growth. Increased trade barriers and the risk of further disruptions is also motivating some manufacturers and retailers to reduce their reliance on overseas production and could reduce the long-term growth rate for international trade, leading to decreased demand for leased containers, lower new container prices, decreased market leasing rates and lower used container disposal prices. These impacts could have a material adverse effect on our business, profitability and cash flows.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic or future global pandemics.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant impacts to businesses and supply chains globally. The initial outbreak of COVID-19 and the resulting imposition of work, social and travel restrictions, as well as other actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak, led to a significant decrease in global economic activity and global trade in the first half of 2020. During this time, we faced reduced container demand, decreasing utilization, market leasing rates and used container sale prices, and decreasing profitability. We also had increased concerns about customer credit risk. Additionally, we faced business continuity risks, including potential employee health and safety impacts and disruptions associated with the rapid implementation of remote working arrangements. While COVID-19 restrictions have since eased globally, a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and/or abroad or a future pandemic, depending on its duration and severity, could materially adversely impact the global economy and our industry, operations and financial condition and performance.

Our business and results of operations are subject to risks resulting from the political and economic policies of China.

A substantial portion of our containers are leased out from locations in China and we have several customers that are domiciled in China. The main manufacturers of containers are also located in China. The political and economic policies of China and the level of economic activity in China may have a significant impact on our business and financial performance.

Changes in laws and policies in China such as restrictions on private enterprise or foreign investment, the introduction of measures to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, and the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion or remittances abroad could significantly impact business investment and exports in China. Additionally, government policies that reduce the emphasis on manufacturing and increase priorities for domestic consumption and services may alter trade patterns and reduce demand for containers in China. Chinese government environmental laws and regulations may increase the cost of manufacturing in China, leading to reduced exports and decreased container demand. Additionally, the re-imposition of policies aimed at controlling the COVID-19 pandemic or future disease outbreaks may reduce manufacturing activity and exports and lead to further logistical disruptions in global shipping. Changes in China’s laws and regulations could also impact the cost and availability of new containers from the container manufacturers in China. These factors could have a significant negative effect on our customers, the cost and availability of new containers and have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

In addition, a geo-political conflict involving China could significantly reduce global economic activity and trade and have a material adverse effect on our business given the large share of global exports and container lease-outs represented by China.

The war in Ukraine may negatively impact international trade and our business.

The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in economic and trade disruptions, as well as a significant humanitarian crisis. The conflict has led to significant stress on the global economy, as well as economic sanctions and trade controls being placed on Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, limitations on Russian and Belorussian banks' and entities' ability to access international payment systems, port restrictions on Russian ships and decisions to suspend service to Russia and alter certain routes by several major ocean carriers. We do not have any employees or Company facilities in Russia,
15


Belarus or Ukraine, and our direct exposure to customers whose businesses are focused on trading with Russia is not material, representing less than one-half of one percent (0.5%) of total net book value of leased containers as of December 31, 2022. However, given the nature of our business and global operations, political, economic and other conditions in major regions, including geopolitical conflicts such as the current war in Ukraine, may adversely affect us. The extent and duration of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine, resulting sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, shipping bans, increased cybersecurity risks, escalation of hostilities and the effects of the conflict on the global economy, including increased on-shoring and near-shoring, reduced global trade, heightened inflation and any other related economic or market disruptions, are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, particularly if current or new sanctions continue for an extended period of time or if geopolitical tensions result in expanded military conflict. These factors may negatively impact our business and results of operations.

We face extensive competition in the container leasing industry.

The container leasing and sales business is highly competitive. We compete with five other major leasing companies, many smaller container lessors, equipment financing companies, and manufacturers of container equipment, who sometimes lease and finance containers directly with our shipping line customers. Some of these competitors may have greater financial resources and access to capital than us and may have lower investment return expectations. Additionally, some of these competitors may, at times, accumulate a high volume of underutilized inventories of containers, which could lead to significant downward pressure on lease rates and margins. As market conditions evolve, we may see new competition entering the market.

Competition among container leasing companies involves many factors, including, among others, lease rates, lease terms (including lease duration, and drop-off and repair provisions), customer service, and the location, availability, quality and individual characteristics of equipment. In addition, new technologies and the expansion of existing technologies, such as digitalization and expanded online services, may increase competitive pressures in our industry. The highly competitive nature of our industry may reduce our lease rates and margins and undermine our ability to maintain our current level of container utilization or achieve our growth plans.

Our customers may decide to lease fewer containers. Should shipping lines decide to buy a larger percentage of the containers they operate, our utilization rate and level of investment would decrease, resulting in decreased leasing revenues, increased storage costs, increased repositioning costs and lower growth.

We, like other suppliers of leased containers, are dependent upon decisions by shipping lines to lease rather than buy their container equipment. Should shipping lines decide to buy a larger percentage of the containers they operate, our utilization rate would decrease, resulting in decreased leasing revenues, increased storage costs and increased repositioning costs. A significant decrease in the portion of leased containers operated by shipping lines would also reduce our investment opportunities and significantly constrain our growth. Most of the factors affecting the lease versus buy decisions of our customers are outside of our control.

For example, most shipping lines were exceptionally profitable during 2021 and 2022, leading to a large decrease in leverage ratios across the industry and in some cases, a build-up of substantial cash balances. The increased financial strength of our customers may lead to higher investment levels in their own container fleets and a decrease in their use of leasing.

Market leasing rates may decrease due to a decrease in new container prices, weak leasing demand, increased competition or other factors.

Market leasing rates have historically varied widely and changed suddenly. Market leasing rates are typically a function of, among other things, new equipment prices (which are heavily influenced by steel prices), interest rates, the type and length of the lease, the equipment supply and demand balance at a particular time and location, and other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section. Market leasing rates decreased steadily throughout 2022 in response to decreasing container demand and decreasing new container prices.

A decrease in market leasing rates negatively impacts the leasing rates on both new container investments and the existing containers in our fleet. Most of our existing containers are on operating leases, with lease terms shorter than the expected life of the container, thus the lease rate we receive for the container is subject to change at the expiration of the current lease. The profitability impact of decreasing lease rates on existing containers can be particularly severe since it leads to a reduction in revenue with no corresponding reduction in investment or expenses.


16


We are exposed to customer credit risk, including the risk of lessee defaults.

Our containers and chassis are leased to numerous customers, who are responsible to pay lease rentals and other charges, including repair fees and costs for damage to or loss of equipment. Some of our customers are privately owned and do not provide detailed financial information regarding their operations. Our customers could incur financial difficulties, or otherwise have difficulty making payments to us when due for any number of factors which we may be unable to anticipate. A delay or diminution in amounts received under the leases, or a default in the performance of our lessees' obligations under the leases could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and our ability to make payments on our debt.

In addition, when lessees default, we may fail to recover all of our equipment, and the equipment we do recover may be returned in damaged condition or to locations where we may not be able to efficiently re-lease or sell the equipment. As a result, we may have to repair our equipment and reposition it to other locations and we may lose lease revenues and incur significant operating expenses. We also often incur extra costs when repossessing containers from a defaulting lessee. These costs typically arise when our lessee has also defaulted on payments owed to container terminals or depot facilities where the repossessed containers are located. In such cases, the terminal or depot facility may delay or bar us from taking possession of our containers or sometimes seek to have us repay a portion of the lessee's unpaid bills as a condition to releasing the containers back to us.

Historically, the container shipping industry has been characterized by recurring periods of excess vessel capacity and weak financial performance. While our customers experienced significantly improved profitability since 2020, declining shipping demand and freight rates that began in the second half of 2022 may pressure their future financial performance. A number of our customers generated significant financial losses in the years prior to 2020 and may do so again. In addition, the potential impact of a customer default has increased due to the large volume of high-priced containers purchased and leased out in 2021. If a customer defaults in the future and new equipment prices and market lease rates have returned to historical long-term averages, the impact of such a default would likely be greater than our historical experience. Also, following the bankruptcy of Hanjin Shipping Co. Ltd. in 2016, it has become more difficult and expensive to obtain credit insurance in our industry and we have chosen not to purchase credit insurance policies. As a result, a major customer default could have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition and cash flows.

Our customer base is highly concentrated. A default by or significant reduction in leasing business from any of our large customers could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial performance.

Our five largest customers represented approximately 62% of our lease billings in 2022. Our single largest customer, CMA CGM S.A., represented approximately 20% of lease billings in 2022, our second largest customer Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A., represented approximately 17% of lease billings in 2022, and our third largest customer, Ocean Network Express, represented approximately 11% of lease billings in 2022. Furthermore, the shipping industry has been consolidating for a number of years, and further consolidation could increase the portion of our revenues that come from our largest customers. Given the high concentration of our customer base, a default by or a significant reduction in future lease transactions with any of our major customers could materially reduce our leasing revenues, profitability, liquidity and growth prospects.

We purchase containers from a small number of container manufacturers primarily based in China, potentially limiting our ability to maintain an adequate supply of containers and increasing our risk of negative outcomes from any manufacturing disputes.

The vast majority of intermodal containers are currently manufactured in China, and we currently purchase substantially all of our dry, refrigerated, special, and tank containers from third-party manufacturers based there. In addition, the container manufacturing industry in China is highly concentrated. In the event that it were to become more difficult or more expensive for us to procure containers in China because of further consolidation among container suppliers, reduced production by our suppliers, increased tariffs imposed by the United States or other governments, COVID-19 lockdowns and other restrictions, regional instability, or for any other reason, we may be unable to fully pass these increased costs through to our customers in the form of higher lease rates and we may not be able to adequately invest in and grow our container fleet.

Additionally, we may face significant challenges in the event of disputes with container manufacturers due to the limited number of potential alternative suppliers and higher uncertainty of outcomes for commercial disputes in China. Such disputes could involve manufacturers’ warranties or manufacturers’ ability and willingness to comply with key terms of our purchase agreements such as container quantities, container quality, delivery timing and price.
17


Manufacturers of equipment may be unwilling or unable to honor manufacturer warranties covering defects in our equipment or we may incur significant increased costs or reductions in the useful life of equipment due to changes in manufacturing processes, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We obtain warranties from the manufacturers of equipment that we purchase. When defects in the containers occur, we work with the manufacturers to identify and rectify the problems. However, there is no assurance that manufacturers will be willing or able to honor warranty obligations. In addition, manufacturers’ warranties typically do not cover the full expected life of our containers. If the manufacturer is unwilling or unable to honor warranties covering failures occurring within the warranty period or if defects are discovered in containers that are no longer covered by manufacturers' warranties, we could be required to expend significant amounts of money to repair the containers, the useful lives of the containers could be shortened and the value of the containers reduced.

Several key container components and manufacturing processes have undergone changes over the last several years, in many cases due to environmental concerns. These changes include, but are not limited to, the following:

Changes in paint application systems to water-based from solvent-based;
Changes to the wood floorboard materials to farm-grown woods from tropical hard woods;
Changes to the refrigerant gasses used by refrigerated containers; and
Changes to insulation foaming processes for the walls of refrigerated containers.

These changes have not yet proven their durability over the typical 12 to 15 year life of a container in a marine environment. In addition, due to increased container demand in 2021 and in the first half of 2022, manufacturers significantly accelerated their rate of production in order to keep pace with demand. The impact of these and future changes in manufacturing processes or materials on the quality and durability of our equipment is uncertain and may result in increased costs to maintain or a significant reduction in the useful life of the equipment.

We may be exposed to increased repair and maintenance costs associated with our lessees’ failure to pay repair charges.

Under our lease agreements, lessees are responsible for many obligations, including maintaining the equipment while on-hire and for payment for damage to equipment beyond normal wear at the end of the lease term. Improper use or handling of our equipment, failure to perform required maintenance during the lease term or other damage caused to our equipment while on lease could result in substantial damage to our equipment and the assessment of significant repair charges to our lessees at the end of the lease term. Disputes with lessees over their responsibility for repair costs could require us to incur significant unplanned maintenance and repair expenses upon the termination of the applicable lease to restore the equipment to an acceptable condition prior to re-leasing or sale. A significant failure by our lessees to meet their obligations to maintain our equipment or pay for damage could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

Used container sales prices are volatile and sale prices can fall below our accounting residual values, leading to losses on the disposal of our equipment and a large decrease in our cash flows.

Although our revenues primarily depend upon equipment leasing, our profitability is also affected by the gains or losses we realize on the sale of used containers because, in the ordinary course of our business, we sell certain containers when they are returned by customers upon lease expiration. The volatility of the selling prices and gains or losses from the disposal of such equipment can be significant. Used container selling prices, which can vary substantially, depend upon, among other factors, the cost of new containers, the global supply and demand balance for containers generally, the location of the containers, the supply and demand balance for used containers at a particular location, the physical condition of the container and related refurbishment needs, materials and labor costs and obsolescence of certain equipment or technology. Most of these factors are outside of our control.

Containers are typically sold if it is in our best interest to do so after taking into consideration local and global leasing and sale market conditions and the age, location and physical condition of the container. As these considerations vary, gains or losses on sale of equipment will also fluctuate and may be significant if we sell large quantities of containers.

Used container selling prices and the gains or losses that we have recognized from selling used containers have varied widely. In 2015 and 2016, used container prices dropped to levels below our estimated residual values, resulting in significant losses on sale of leasing equipment. Used container sale prices rebounded in 2017 and 2018, decreased in 2019, again increased significantly beginning in the second half of 2020 and continuing throughout 2021. Used container sale prices
18


decreased steadily in 2022 and have continued to decrease in 2023. A significant further reduction could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

Equipment trading results have been highly volatile and are subject to many factors outside of our control.

The profitability of our equipment trading activities has varied widely. Our ability to sustain a high level of equipment trading profitability will require securing large volumes of additional trading equipment and continuing to achieve high selling margins. Several factors could limit our trading volumes. Shipping lines that have sold containers to us could develop other means for disposing of their equipment or develop their own sales networks. In addition, we may limit our purchases if we have concerns that used container selling prices might decrease. Our equipment trading results would also be negatively impacted by a reduction in our selling margins by increased competition for purchasing trading containers or by decreased sales prices. If sales prices rapidly deteriorate and we hold a large inventory of equipment that was purchased when prices for equipment were higher, we may incur significant trading losses.

A number of key personnel are critical to the success of our business.

We have senior executives and other management level employees with extensive industry experience. We rely on this knowledge and experience in our strategic planning and in our day-to-day business operations. Our success depends in large part upon our ability to retain our senior management, the loss of one or more of whom could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our success also depends on our ability to retain our experienced sales team and technical personnel, as well as to recruit new skilled sales, marketing and technical and other support personnel. Competition for experienced managers in our industry can be intense. If we fail to retain and recruit the necessary personnel, our business and our ability to retain customers and provide acceptable levels of customer service could suffer.

It may become more difficult and expensive for us to store and repair our off-hire containers.

We are dependent on third-party depot operators to repair and store our equipment in port areas throughout the world. At times, particularly during times of decreasing fleet utilization, we may experience limited depot capacity and a refusal by certain depots to accept additional containers due to space constraints.

We are currently experiencing storage capacity shortages in a number important locations, including certain locations in China, North Europe and the West Coast of the United States. Due to these capacity shortages, we are facing increased storage rates and increased transit costs. We have also been forced to close several port locations for further container returns, which reduces the quality of our customer service.

Additionally, in certain locations, the land occupied by depots is increasingly being considered as prime real estate due to its coastal location. As a result, existing depot locations may be redeveloped for other uses or become subject to increasing restrictions on operations by local communities and may be forced to relocate to sites further from the port areas. These factors have and may continue to impact available depot capacity, increase the cost of depot storage and repairs and increase the operational complexity of managing our business.

We may incur future asset impairment charges.

An asset impairment charge may result from the occurrence of an adverse change in market conditions, unexpected adverse events or management decisions that impact our estimates of expected cash flows generated from our long-lived assets. We review our long-lived assets, including our container and chassis equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. We may be required to recognize asset impairment charges in the future as a result of reductions in demand for specific container and chassis types, a weak economic environment, challenging market conditions, events related to particular customers or asset types, or as a result of asset or portfolio sale decisions by management. The likelihood that we could incur asset impairment charges increases during periods of low new container prices, low market lease rates and low used container selling prices.

In addition, while used container selling prices are currently above our estimated residual values, they are extremely volatile and if disposal prices fall below our residual values for an extended period, we would likely need to revise our estimates for residual values. Decreasing estimates for residual values would result in an immediate impairment charge on containers older than the estimated useful life in our depreciation calculations, and would result in increased depreciation expense for all of our other containers in subsequent periods. Asset impairment charges could significantly impact our
19


profitability and could potentially cause us to breach the financial covenants contained in some or all of our debt agreements. The impact of asset impairment charges and a potential covenant default could be severe.

We may incur significant costs associated with relocation of leased equipment.

When lessees return equipment to locations where supply exceeds demand, containers are routinely repositioned to higher demand areas. Positioning expenses vary depending on geographic location, distance, freight rates and other factors. Positioning expenses can be significant if a large portion of our containers are returned to locations with weak demand. We seek to limit the number of containers that can be returned to areas where demand is not expected to be strong. However, future market conditions may not enable us to continue such practices. In addition, we may not be successful in accurately anticipating which port locations will be characterized by weak or strong demand in the future, and current contracts will not provide much protection against positioning costs if ports that are expected to be strong demand ports turn out to be low demand ports when the equipment is returned. In particular, many of our lease contracts are structured so that most containers will be returned to areas with current strong demand, especially major ports in China. If the economy in China continues to evolve in a way that leads to less focus on manufacturing and exports and more focus on consumer spending, imports and services, we may face large positioning costs in the future to relocate containers dropped off into China.

Severe weather, climate change, international hostilities, terrorist attacks or other catastrophic events could negatively impact our operations and profitability and may expose us to liability.

Catastrophic natural events such as hurricanes, earthquakes, or fires, or other events, such as chemical explosions or other industrial accidents could lead to extensive damage to our equipment, significant disruptions to trade and reduced demand for containers. In addition, climate change could worsen some of these risks and lead to economic instability and extensive disruptions to world trade. These events could also impact the profitability of our customers and lead to higher credit risk, as well as significant increases in our own insurance costs. The incidence, severity and consequences of any of these events are unpredictable.

Military conflicts, such as the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, or other serious international disputes could also significantly impact our business. International conflicts often lead to economic sanctions and decreased trade activity and military conflicts often involve the blockade of ports. A serious conflict involving major global trading partners could have a material impact on global trade, the demand for containers, our profitability and our customers’ ability to honor their lease obligations.

It is also possible that our containers could be involved in a terrorist attack. Although our lease agreements typically require our customers to indemnify us against all damages and liabilities arising out of the use of our containers and we carry insurance to potentially offset any costs in the event that our customer indemnifications prove to be insufficient, our insurance does not cover certain types of terrorist attacks. We may also experience reputational harm from a terrorist attack in which one of our containers is involved.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and Liquidity

We have a substantial amount of debt outstanding and have significant debt service requirements. Our high level of indebtedness may reduce our financial flexibility, impede our ability to operate and increase our risk of default.

We use substantial amounts of debt to fund our operations, particularly our purchase of equipment. As of December 31, 2022, we had outstanding indebtedness of approximately $8,074.8 million under our debt facilities. Total interest and debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $226.1 million.

Our substantial amount of debt could have important consequences for investors, including:

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt facilities, which could result in an event of default under the agreements governing such indebtedness and potentially lead to insolvency;
requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for operations, capital expenditures, future business opportunities and other purposes;
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
reducing our profit margin and investment returns on new container investments if we are unable to pass along increases in our cost of financing to our customers through higher lease rates,
making it difficult for us to pay dividends on or repurchase our common and preferred shares;
20


increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, including changes in interest rates; and
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors having less debt.

We may also incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. To the extent that new indebtedness is added to current debt levels, the risks described above would increase.

We may not be able to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

During difficult market environments, lenders to the container leasing industry may become more cautious, decreasing our sources of available debt financing and increasing our borrowing costs. In addition, we are the largest container leasing exposure for many of our lenders, and the amount of incremental loans available from our existing lenders may become constrained due to single-name credit limitations. If we cannot refinance our indebtedness, we may have to take actions such as selling assets, seeking equity capital or reducing or delaying future capital expenditures or other business investments, which could have a material adverse impact on our growth rate, profitability, share price and cash flows.

Our credit facilities impose significant operating and financial restrictions, which may prevent us from pursuing certain business opportunities and taking certain actions.

Our credit facilities and other indebtedness impose, and the terms of any future indebtedness may impose, significant operating, financial and other restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. These restrictions may limit or prohibit, among other things, our ability to:

incur additional indebtedness;
pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase our shares;
make loans and investments;
create liens;
sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies;
enter into certain transactions with our shareholders and affiliates;
cause our subsidiaries to make dividend, distributions and other payments to us; and
otherwise conduct necessary corporate activities.

These restrictions could adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs and pursue available business opportunities. In addition, certain agreements governing our indebtedness contain financial maintenance covenants that require us to satisfy certain ratios such as maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage. A breach of any of the above restrictions or financial covenants could result in an event of default in respect of the related indebtedness. If a default occurs, the relevant lenders could elect to declare the indebtedness to be immediately due and payable and proceed against any collateral securing that indebtedness.

Our ability to obtain debt financing and our cost of debt financing is, in part, dependent upon our credit ratings and outlook. A credit downgrade or being placed on negative watch could adversely impact our liquidity, access to capital markets and our financial results.

Maintaining our credit ratings depends on our financial results and on other factors, including the outlook of the rating agencies on our sector and on the debt capital markets generally. A credit rating downgrade or being placed on negative watch may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise debt financing, resulting in a negative impact on our liquidity and financial results.

A significant increase in our borrowing costs could negatively affect our financial condition, cash flow and results of operations.

The interest rates on our debt financings have several components, including credit spreads and underlying benchmark rates. Given our substantial indebtedness, an increase in our interest rates for any reason can have a substantial negative effect on our profitability and cash flow.

Our lease rental stream is generally fixed over the life of our leases. We employ various hedging strategies to attempt to match the duration of our leases and fixed interest rates. Our hedging strategies rely considerably on assumptions and projections regarding our assets and lease portfolio as well as general market factors. If any of these assumptions or projections
21


prove to be incorrect or our hedges do not adequately mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, we may experience volatility in our earnings that could adversely affect our profitability and financial condition. In addition, we may not be able to find market participants that are willing to act as our hedging counterparties on acceptable terms or at all, which could have an adverse effect on the success of our hedging strategies.

Our strategy of attempting to match the duration of our leases and interest rates typically means that the average duration of our fixed interest rates is shorter than the average remaining duration of our container fleet. As a result, our profitability will decrease if our interest rates increase in the future and we are unable to pass along the cost of this increase in lease extension or re-lease transactions.

The phase out of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate may have an adverse impact on us.

During 2022, we amended our credit facilities to transition their pricing from LIBOR to Term Secured Overnight Finance Rate ("Term SOFR"). However, as of December 31, 2022, $1,127.8 million notional value of our interest rate swap agreements remain priced under rates that are indexed to LIBOR, which will be discontinued after June 30, 2023. Term SOFR has emerged as one of the preferred alternative rates to LIBOR in the United States for loan facilities. However, daily SOFR (“Daily SOFR”) has emerged as the preferred alternative for derivative agreements. To the extent we have not transitioned our LIBOR-based interest rate swap agreements from LIBOR by the time LIBOR is discontinued, these agreements have fallback provisions that would govern their transition to another benchmark. Given the notional value of our interest rates swap agreements that remain indexed to LIBOR and our significant annual interest expense, the impact of the discontinuance of LIBOR and transition to Daily SOFR or another benchmark may increase our financing costs. Additionally, due to the fact that the interest rates under our credit facilities are based on Term SOFR while the pricing of a significant portion of our interest rate swap agreements are and may continue to be governed by a different benchmark, our interest rate hedging strategies may not work as planned or be as successful as they would have been if they used the same benchmark. Furthermore, the time, effort and cost of transitioning our swap agreements to a new benchmark, including with respect to implementing changes to our systems and processes, remains uncertain.

Risks Related to Information Technology and Data Security

We rely on our information technology systems to conduct our business. If these systems fail to adequately perform their functions, or if we experience an interruption in our operations, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.

The efficient operation of our business is highly dependent on our information technology systems, including our transaction tracking and billing systems and our customer interface systems. These systems allow our customers to view current inventory and check contractual terms in effect for their container lease agreements. These systems also process and track transactions, such as container pick-ups, drop-offs and repairs, and bill customers for the use of and damage to our equipment. If our information technology systems are damaged or an interruption is caused by a computer systems failure, viruses, security breach, cyber or ransom attack, fire, natural disasters or power loss, we may not be able to process transactions or accurately bill our customers for the containers they have on lease. The disruption to our normal business operations and impact on our costs, competitiveness and financial results could be significant. In 2022, we have moved various information technology systems and data to cloud-based storage providers and software vendors. We face additional risks from relying on third parties to store, process and manage our data and software. A significant interruption of these third-party systems could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, we rely on our financial systems and the integration of our financial and operating systems to provide timely and accurate financial reports on our business. A system failure leading to inaccurate or delayed financial reporting could have serious adverse consequences including the ability to manage our business, comply with our credit agreements, file our financial statements or meet our other obligations as a public company. We implemented a new financial system in January 2023. Any significant problems with this implementation could disrupt our business and adversely affect our results of operations.

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information technology systems and expose us to liability, which could cause our business and reputation to suffer.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store confidential and sensitive data on our systems and networks, including our proprietary business information and that of our customers and suppliers, and personally identifiable information of our customers and employees. The secure storage, processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to
22


our operations. Despite the security measures we employ, our information technology systems and networks may be vulnerable to cyber attacks or breaches due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise these systems and networks and the information stored therein could be accessed, modified, publicly disclosed and/or lost or stolen. Any such incident could result in substantial remediation costs, legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, disruption to our operations, damage to our reputation and/or loss of competitive position.

Risks Related to Legal, Tax, and Other Regulatory and Compliance Matters

We may incur increased costs or be required to comply with increased restrictions due to the implementation of government regulations.

Trade and transportation activity is regulated in most major economies. International container leasing companies have historically not been heavily impacted by regulations since containers have typically been viewed as international assets. However, many governments, including the United States, have enacted and/or are considering increased regulation of the ocean shipping sector in response to supply chain disruptions and increased transportation costs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We could incur increased costs and face operational complexity as a result of future regulations.

We also may become subject to regulations seeking to protect the integrity of international commerce and prevent the use of containers for international terrorism or other illicit activities or to set increased safety standards. For example, the Container Safety Initiative, the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism and Operation Safe Commerce are among the programs administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that are designed to enhance security for containerized cargo entering and leaving the United States. Moreover, the International Convention for Safe Containers (“CSC”) applies to containers and seeks to maintain a high level of safety of human life in the transport and handling of containers by providing uniform international safety regulations. As these regulations develop and change, we may incur increased costs for the acquisition of new, compliant equipment and/or the adaptation of existing equipment to meet any new requirements imposed by such regulations. Additionally, future development of products designed to enhance the security of containers transported in international commerce may result in increased costs associated with the adoption of these products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The lack of an international title registry for containers increases the risk of ownership disputes.

There is no internationally recognized system for recording or filing to evidence our title to containers nor is there an internationally recognized system for filing security interests in containers. Although this has not occurred to date, the lack of an international title recordation system for containers could result in disputes with lessees, end-users, or third parties who may improperly claim ownership of the containers.

If we fail to comply with applicable regulations that impact our international operations, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected.

Due to the international scope of our operations, we are subject to a numerous laws and regulations, including economic sanctions, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, import and export and similar laws. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in the enforcement of many of these laws in the United States and other countries. Any failure or perceived failure to comply with existing or new laws and regulations may subject us to significant fines, penalties, criminal and civil lawsuits, forfeiture of significant assets, and other enforcement actions in one or more jurisdictions, result in significant additional compliance requirements and costs, increase regulatory scrutiny of our business, result in the loss of customers, restrict our operations and limit our ability to grow our business, adversely affect our results of operations, and harm our reputation.

Environmental regulations and liability may adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We are subject to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing the discharge of pollutants to air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the cleanup of contaminated sites. We could incur substantial costs, including cleanup costs, fines and third-party claims for property damage and personal injury, as a result of violations of or liabilities under environmental laws and regulations in connection with our or our lessees’ current or historical operations. Under some environmental laws in the United States and certain other countries, the owner of a leased container may be liable for environmental damage, cleanup or other costs in the event of a spill or discharge of material from a container without regard to the owner's fault. Our insurance coverage and any indemnities provided by our lessees may be insufficient to compensate us for losses arising from environmental damage.
23


Changes in laws and regulations, or actions by authorities under existing laws or regulations, to address greenhouse gas emissions and climate change could negatively impact our and our customers’ business. For example, restrictions on emissions could significantly increase costs for our customers whose operations require significant amounts of energy. Customers’ increased costs could reduce their demand to lease our assets. Additionally, many countries, including the United States, restrict, prohibit or otherwise regulate the use of chemical refrigerants due to their ozone depleting and global warming effects. Our refrigerated containers currently use various refrigerants. Manufacturers of cooling machines for refrigerated containers have begun selling units that utilize alternative and natural refrigerants, that may have less global warming potential than current refrigerants. If future regulations prohibit the use or servicing of containers using current refrigerants, we could be forced to incur large retrofitting expenses. In addition, refrigerated containers that are not retrofitted may become difficult to lease, command lower rental rates and disposal prices, or may have to be scrapped.

Also, historically, the foam insulation in the walls of refrigerated intermodal containers required the use of a blowing agent that contained CFCs. The manufacturers producing our refrigerated containers have eliminated the use of this blowing agent in the manufacturing process, but the majority of our refrigerated containers manufactured prior to 2014 contain these CFCs. The EU prohibits the import and the placing on the market in the EU of intermodal containers with insulation made with such process. However, we believe international conventions governing free movement of intermodal containers allow the use of such intermodal refrigerated containers in the EU if they have been admitted into EU countries on temporary customs admission. We have procedures in place that we believe comply with the relevant EU and country regulations. If such intermodal refrigerated containers exceed their temporary customs admission period and/or their customs admission status changes and such intermodal refrigerated containers are deemed placed on the market in the EU, or if our procedures are deemed not to comply with EU or a country’s regulation, we could be subject to fines and penalties. Also, if future international regulations change, we could be forced to incur large retrofitting expenses and those containers that are not retrofitted may become more difficult to lease and command lower rental rates and disposal prices. As laws and regulations addressing climate change and other environmental impacts are enacted, developed and changed, we and our customers may be required to incur substantial compliance costs to meet new requirements imposed by the regulations. Potential consequences of changes in these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.

Future U.S. tax rule changes that result in tax rate increases or a reduction in our level of continuing investment in U.S. subsidiaries may subject us to unanticipated tax liabilities that may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

We are a Bermuda company, however, a significant portion of our operations is subject to taxation in the U.S. Our U.S. subsidiaries record tax provisions in their financial statements based on current tax rates. If there was an increase in the tax rate due to changes in enacted tax laws, our tax provision and effective tax rate would increase and our results of operations would be negatively impacted.

Certain of these subsidiaries historically did not pay any meaningful U.S. income taxes primarily due to the benefit they received from accelerated tax depreciation of their container investments. However, the long duration of recent leases has limited the accelerated tax depreciation benefits of container investments, and as a result, we have limited the container investments made by the U.S. subsidiaries. Additionally, beginning in 2022, our U.S. subsidiaries' net interest expense deduction has become limited to 30% of its current year taxable income before net interest expense.

This reduced investment in containers by the U.S. subsidiaries, coupled with interest expense deduction limitations, has resulted in an increase in cash tax payments in the current year. Any future change in rules governing the tax depreciation for these U.S. subsidiaries' containers could further reduce or eliminate this tax benefit and further increase the U.S. subsidiaries' cash tax payments.

Future foreign tax rule changes may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are a Bermuda company, and based on current laws we believe that the income derived from our operations will not be subject to tax in Bermuda, which currently has no corporate income tax. We further believe that a significant portion of the income derived from our operations will not be subject to tax in many other countries in which our customers or containers are located. However, this belief is also based on our understanding of the current tax laws of the countries in which our customers use containers. The tax positions we take in various jurisdictions are subject to review and possible challenge by taxing authorities and to possible changes in law or rates that may have retroactive effect.

24


The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has coordinated a global effort to reform certain aspects of the international tax system. This effort included the December 2021 release of model rules for a 15% global minimum tax regime. While few jurisdictions have enacted legislation to implement the global minimum tax, a number of jurisdictions have signaled their intention to implement the model rules, or a portion thereof, in the near term, including the unanimous adoption of a global minimum tax directive by the EU in December 2022. If these model rules are partially or fully implemented in jurisdictions where Triton operates, we expect increases to our annual global income tax expense and our annual global income tax payments.

Related to these efforts, Bermuda implemented the Economic Substance Act 2018 which requires affected Bermuda registered companies to maintain a substantial economic presence in Bermuda. This legislation and/or other OECD efforts could require us to incur substantial additional costs to maintain compliance, result in the imposition of significant penalties, create additional tax liabilities globally, and possibly require us to re-domicile our company or any Bermuda subsidiary to a jurisdiction with higher tax rates. Our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if we become subject to these or other unanticipated tax liabilities.

Our U.S. investors could suffer adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Based upon the nature of our business activities, we may be classified as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such characterization could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences for direct or indirect U.S. investors in our common and preferred shares. For example, if we are a PFIC, our U.S. investors could become subject to increased tax liabilities under U.S. tax laws and regulations and could become subject to burdensome reporting requirements. The determination of whether or not we are a PFIC is made on an annual basis and depends on the composition of our income and assets from time to time. Specifically, for any taxable year, we will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. tax purposes if either:

75% or more of the our gross income in a taxable year is passive income; or
the average percentage of our assets (which includes cash) by value in a taxable year which produce or are held for the production of passive income is at least 50%.

Based on the composition of our income and valuation of our assets, we do not expect that we should be treated as a PFIC for the current taxable year or for the foreseeable future. However, because the PFIC determination in our case is made by taking into account all of the relevant facts and circumstances regarding our business without the benefit of clearly defined bright line rules, it is possible that we may be a PFIC for any taxable year or that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") may challenge our determination concerning our PFIC status. U.S. investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules, including the availability of any elections that may mitigate adverse U.S. tax consequences in the event that we are or become a PFIC.

Risks Related to Owning Our Common or Preferred Shares

The price of our common and preferred shares has been highly volatile and may decrease regardless of our operating performance.

The trading price of our common and preferred shares has been and may remain highly volatile. Factors affecting the trading price of our common and preferred shares may include:

broad market and industry factors, including global and political instability, trade actions and interest rate and currency changes;
variations in our financial results;
changes in financial estimates or investment recommendations by securities analysts following our business;
the public's response to our press releases, other public announcements and filings with the SEC;
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance or interpretations or principles;
future sales of common shares by our directors, officers and significant shareholders;
announcements of technological innovations or enhanced or new products by us or our competitors;
the failure to achieve operating results consistent with securities analysts' projections;
the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable to us;
changes in our dividend policy and share repurchase programs;
fluctuations in the worldwide equity markets;
25


recruitment or departure of key personnel;
failure to timely address changing customer preferences; and
other events or factors, including those resulting from the perceived or actual threat of impending natural disasters, coups, terrorism, war, or other armed conflict, as well as the actual occurrence of such events or responses to such events.

In addition, if the market for intermodal equipment leasing company stocks or the stock market in general experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common and preferred shares could decline for reasons unrelated to our business or financial results. The trading price of our common and preferred shares might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they downgrade our shares, the price of our common shares could decline.

The trading market for our common shares relies in part on research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us, our business or our industry. We have no influence or control over the decisions or opinions of these analysts. In addition, regulatory changes such as Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II), have led to a reduction in the number of sell side research analysts covering companies of our size and our industry. If more of these analysts cease coverage of us, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our share price to decline. Furthermore, if one or more analysts covering our Company downgrades our shares, the price of our shares could decline.

Future sales of our common or preferred shares, or the perception in the public markets that such sales may occur, may depress our share price.

The issuance of additional common and preferred shares or other equity securities or securities convertible into equity by us for financing or in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions or otherwise may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing shareholders or reduce the market price of our common and preferred shares or both. Sales or other issuances of substantial amounts of our common or preferred shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common and preferred shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional shares.

We are incorporated in Bermuda and a significant portion of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for shareholders to enforce civil liability provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the United States against the Company. Additionally, Bermuda law differs from the laws of the United States and may afford less protections to shareholders.

We are incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and a significant portion of our assets are located outside the United States. It may not be possible to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against us in Bermuda or in countries, other than the United States, where we will have assets, based on the civil liability provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the United States. In addition, there is some doubt as to whether the courts of Bermuda and other countries would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our officers or directors based on the civil liability provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the United States or would hear actions against us or those persons based on those laws. We have been advised by our legal advisors in Bermuda that the United States and Bermuda do not currently have a treaty providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in the United States based on civil liability, whether or not based solely on United States federal or state securities laws, would not automatically be enforceable in Bermuda. Similarly, those judgments may not be enforceable in countries, other than the United States, where we have assets.

Additionally, our shareholders might have more difficulty protecting their interests than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States. As a Bermuda company, we are governed by the Bermuda Companies Act. The Bermuda Companies Act differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and shareholders, including the provisions relating to interested directors, mergers, amalgamations and acquisitions, takeovers, shareholder lawsuits and indemnification of directors.

Certain provisions of our bye-laws and Bermuda law could hinder, delay or prevent a change in control that you might consider favorable, which could also adversely affect the price of our common shares.

Certain provisions of our bye-laws and Bermuda law could discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control, even if doing so would benefit our shareholders. These provisions may include customary anti-takeover provisions.
26


Anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of our public shareholders to benefit from a change in control or change of our management and Board of Directors and, as a result, may materially adversely affect the market price of our common shares and your ability to realize any potential change of control premium. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other shareholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause us to take other corporate actions you desire.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The statements in this discussion regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed under "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be filed by us, as well as in the other documents we file with the SEC from time to time. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.

Our Company

Triton International Limited ("Triton", "we", "our" or the "Company") is the world's largest lessor of intermodal containers. Intermodal containers are large, standardized steel boxes used to transport freight by ship, rail or truck. Because of the handling efficiencies they provide, intermodal containers are the primary means by which many goods and materials are shipped internationally. We also lease chassis, which are used for the transportation of containers.

We operate our business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and have two business segments, which also represent our reporting segments:
Equipment leasing - we own, lease and ultimately dispose of containers and chassis from our lease fleet.
Equipment trading - we purchase containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resell these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment.

Operations

Our consolidated operations include the acquisition, leasing, re-leasing and subsequent sale of multiple types of intermodal containers and chassis. As of December 31, 2022, our total fleet consisted of 4.2 million containers and chassis, representing 7.2 million TEU or 7.9 million CEU. Our primary customers include the world's largest container shipping lines. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our twenty largest customers accounted for 85% of our lease billings, our five largest customers accounted for 62% of our lease billings, and our three largest customers accounted for 20%, 17%, and 11%, respectively, of our lease billings.

The most important driver of profitability in our business is the extent to which leasing revenues, which are driven by our owned equipment fleet size, utilization and average lease rates, exceed our ownership and operating costs. Our profitability is also driven by the gains or losses we realize on the sale of used containers and the margins generated from trading new and used containers.

We lease five types of equipment: (1) dry containers, which are used for general cargo such as manufactured component parts, consumer staples, electronics and apparel, (2) refrigerated containers, which are used for perishable items such as fresh and frozen foods, (3) special containers, which are used for heavy and over-sized cargo such as marble slabs, building products and machinery, (4) tank containers, which are used to transport bulk liquid products such as chemicals, and (5) chassis, which are used for the transportation of containers on the road. Our in-house equipment sales group manages the sale process for our used containers and chassis from our equipment leasing fleet and sells used and new containers and chassis acquired from third parties.

The following tables summarize our equipment fleet as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, indicated in units, TEU and CEU. CEU and TEU are standard industry measures of fleet size and are used to measure the quantity of containers that make up our revenue earning assets:

(1)    In the equipment fleet tables above, we have included total fleet count information based on CEU. CEU is a ratio used to convert the actual number of containers in our fleet to a figure based on an estimate for the historical average relative purchase prices of our various equipment types to that of a 20-foot dry container. For example, the CEU ratio for a 40-foot high cube dry container is 1.70, and a 40-foot high cube refrigerated container is 7.50. These factors may differ slightly from CEU ratios used by others in the industry.

We generally lease our equipment on a per diem basis to our customers under three types of leases:
Long-term leases, which we categorize as operating leases, typically have initial contractual terms ranging from five to eight or more years and provide us with stable cash flow and low transaction costs by requiring customers to maintain specific units on-hire for the duration of the lease term. Some of our containers, primarily used containers, are placed on lifecycle leases which keep the containers on-hire until the end of their useful life.
Finance leases are typically structured as full payout leases and provide for a predictable recurring revenue stream with generally the lowest cost to the customer as customers are generally required to retain the equipment for the duration of its useful life.
Service leases, which we categorize as operating leases, command a premium per diem rate in exchange for providing customers with greater operational flexibility by allowing non-scheduled pick-up and drop-off of units during the lease term.

We categorize our operating leases as either long-term leases or service leases. Some leases have contractual terms that have features reflective of both long-term and service leases. We classify such leases as either long-term or service leases, depending upon which features we believe are predominant. For example, some leases that provide redelivery flexibility during the lease term are classified as long-term leases in cases where lessees have made large upfront payments to reduce their lease payment during the lease term or in cases where lessees will incur significant redelivery fees if containers are returned during
32


the lease term. Such leases are generally considered to be long-term leases based on the expected on-hire time and the economic protection achieved by the lease economics.

We also have expired long-term leases whose fixed terms have ended but for which the related units remain on-hire and for which we continue to receive rental payments pursuant to the terms of the initial contract.

The following tables summarize our lease portfolio by lease type, based on CEU on-hire and net book value as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020:

Operating Performance

Our financial performance throughout 2022 was strong. Utilization remained high and we generated significant disposal gains. We also continued to benefit from the durable enhancements made to our lease portfolio as a result of the aggressive investing and refinancing activity in 2021. Our earnings per share also benefited from a 13.8% reduction of our shares outstanding during the year.

While our financial performance remained strong in 2022, market conditions and new lease transaction activity slowed. Global trade volumes surged in late 2020 and 2021 due to high goods consumption and a strong rebound in economic activity, but trade volumes weakened in 2022 as consumers shifted spending from goods back to services, and due to global economic challenges including higher interest rates, geopolitical crises, elevated energy costs and slowing global economic growth. As a result, container demand softened in 2022, leading to decreased pick-up volumes, reduced new container investments, increased drop-off volumes, and decreasing utilization. However, our utilization decreased gradually, and finished the year at 98.1%, reflecting the large portion of our containers on long-term leases. Used container sale prices decreased toward historical levels in 2022 after being elevated for much of the last two years, reflecting an increased supply of used containers for sale and lower new container prices.

Fleet size.    As of December 31, 2022, the net book value of our revenue earning assets was $11.3 billion, a decrease of 4.2% compared to December 31, 2021. Our investment in new equipment was limited in 2022 as market conditions weakened and as our customers focused on rationalizing their fleets following the large number of containers added during 2021. During 2022, we purchased $558.0 million of new containers.

Utilization.    Our average utilization was 99.1% during 2022, a decrease of 0.3% compared to 2021, reflecting increased drop-off volumes and decreased pick-up volumes as trade activity slowed. Our ending utilization was 98.1% as of December 31, 2022 and currently stands at 97.6%.

The following tables summarize our equipment fleet utilization for the periods indicated below. Utilization is computed by dividing our total units on lease (in CEU) by the total units in our fleet (in CEU) excluding new units not yet leased and off-hire units designated for sale:

202098.9%97.4%94.8%95.3%

Average lease rates.    Average lease rates for our dry container product line increased by 4.9% in 2022 compared to 2021. The increase in our average dry container lease rates was primarily driven by the addition of new containers in 2021 with lease rates well above the average rates in our lease portfolio. New container prices and market lease rates were very high throughout 2021 due to the surge in container demand and limited availability of containers. New container prices and market leasing rates returned to historically normal levels during 2022 as market conditions moderated.

Average lease rates for our refrigerated container product line decreased by 2.4% in 2022 compared to 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, we completed a large lease extension transaction for refrigerated containers that lowered the lease rates. We have also been experiencing larger differences in lease rates for older refrigerated containers compared to rates on new equipment, and we expect our average lease rates for refrigerated containers will continue to gradually trend down.

The average lease rates for special containers decreased by 0.1% in 2022 compared to 2021.

Interest and Debt Expense.    Our interest expense increased slightly in 2022, reflecting an increase in our average debt balance largely offset by a decrease in our average effective interest rate.

Our ending debt balance decreased 5.7% from 2021 to 2022, in line with the reduction in our revenue earning assets. However, our average debt balance increased 11.7% in 2022 from the average in 2021 due to the significant growth in our debt balance last year. Our debt balance increased 33.7% during 2021 as we increased borrowings to support the significant growth in our revenue earning assets.

Our average effective interest rate decreased in 2022 from our average effective rate in 2021 due to our extensive refinancing activity in 2021. In 2021, we took advantage of the low interest rate environment and the upgrade of our corporate credit ratings to investment grade to refinance a large share of our debt facilities. Our effective interest rate had gradually increased throughout 2022 due to increased market interest rates, but approximately 88% of our debt portfolio was comprised of either fixed-rate debt or hedged floating-rate debt as of December 31, 2022, and we still benefit considerably from lower interest rates locked in during 2021.


34


Equipment disposals. Disposal gains were exceptional in 2022, reflecting strong results for used container sales and $11.6 million in gains associated with lease buyout transactions. While used container sale prices decreased from record levels in 2021, they remained historically high. In addition, disposal volumes increased in 2022 as container drop-off activity increased and demand remained high. We expect used container sale prices and our disposal gains will decrease in 2023 as used container sale prices continue to trend down towards historical levels.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities, proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, borrowings under our credit facilities and proceeds from other financing activities. Our principal uses of cash include capital expenditures, debt service, dividends, and share repurchases.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, cash provided by operating activities, together with the proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, was $2,181.6 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2022 we had $83.2 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $1,860.0 million of borrowing capacity remaining under our existing credit facilities.

As of December 31, 2022, our cash commitments in the next twelve months include $1,006.6 million of scheduled principal payments on our existing debt facilities, and $40.9 million of committed but unpaid capital expenditures, primarily for the purchase of equipment.

We believe that cash provided by operating activities, existing cash, proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, and availability under our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our obligations over the next twelve months and beyond.

Capital Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company paid dividends on preferred shares of $52.1 million and paid dividends on common shares of $162.2 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 9.1 million common shares at an average price per share of $61.22 for a total cost of $555.2 million under its share repurchase program.

For additional information on the share repurchase program and dividends, please refer to Note 10 - "Other Equity Matters" in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Debt Activity

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company amended its revolving credit facility to extend the maturity date to October 26, 2027, and change the reference rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. Additionally, the Company concurrently amended its term loan facility to change the reference rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. There was no change to the margin over the reference rate as a result of these amendments.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company prepaid the $186.1 million outstanding balance on an ABS term note and as a result, wrote off $0.2 million of debt related costs.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company amended its existing ABS warehouse facility with $1,125.0 million borrowing capacity to extend the revolving period to April 27, 2025 and change the interest rate to term SOFR plus 1.60%. After the revolving period, borrowings will convert to term notes with a maturity date of April 27, 2029, paying interest at SOFR plus 2.60%. As part of this transaction, the Company wrote off $0.3 million of debt related costs. Additionally, the Company prepaid the $391.3 million outstanding balance on an ABS term note and as a result, wrote off $1.3 million of debt related costs.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed a $600.0 million 3.25% senior notes offering with a maturity date of March 15, 2032. In addition, the Company exercised an early buyout option and paid $14.9 million of its remaining finance lease obligation.

We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, may be funded from operating cash flows or other sources, will be on such terms and at prices as we may
35


determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Credit Ratings

Our investment-grade corporate and long-term debt credit ratings enable us to lower our cost of funds and broaden our access to attractively priced capital. While a ratings downgrade, on its own, would not result in a default under any of our debt agreements, it could adversely affect our ability to issue debt and obtain new financings, or renew existing financings, and it would increase the cost of our financings. The Company's long-term debt and corporate ratings of BBB- from both S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings remained unchanged during the year.

Debt Agreements

As of December 31, 2022, our outstanding indebtedness was comprised of the following (amounts in millions):
December 31, 2022

Debt, net of unamortized costs$8,074.8 $9,995.5 

The maximum borrowing levels depicted in the table above may not reflect the actual availability under all of the credit facilities. Certain of these facilities are governed by either borrowing bases or an unencumbered asset test that limits borrowing capacity. Based on those limitations, the availability under these credit facilities at December 31, 2022 was approximately $1,262.3 million.

As of December 31, 2022, we had a combined $7,118.2 million of total debt on facilities with fixed interest rates or floating interest rates that have been synthetically fixed through interest rate swap contracts. This accounts for 88% of total debt. The following table summarizes the weighted average interest rates and remaining terms on this portion of our debt:
Balance Outstanding (in thousands)Contractual Weighted Avg Interest RateWeighted Avg Remaining Term
Fixed-rate debt$5,790,4672.08%4.5 years
Hedged floating-rate debt1,327,7503.71%4.0 years
Total fixed and hedged debt$7,118,2172.38%4.4 years

Pursuant to the terms of certain debt agreements, we are required to maintain certain amounts in restricted cash accounts. As of December 31, 2022, we had restricted cash of $103.1 million.

For additional information on our debt, please see Note 6 - "Debt" in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

36


Debt Covenants

We are subject to certain financial covenants related to leverage and interest coverage as defined in our debt agreements. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default under the related credit agreements and the acceleration of our outstanding debt if we were unable to obtain a waiver from the creditors. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Cash Flow

The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities$(1,282,134)$1,890,764 $(3,172,898)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $479.7 million to $1,884.9 million in 2022, compared to $1,405.2 million in 2021. The increase was due to increased profitability along with increased cash collections primarily due to large prepayments on certain leases and increased cash collections on finance leases due to an increase in our finance lease portfolio.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $2,570.4 million to $647.0 million in 2022 compared to $3,217.4 million in 2021. The change was primarily due to a $2,491.3 million decrease in equipment purchases.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $1,282.1 million in 2022 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,890.8 million in 2021. The change was primarily due to a $2.6 billion change in borrowing activities from net borrowings to net debt repayments due to the decrease in equipment purchases and related financing requirements. In addition we paid $554.1 million for share repurchases, which represents an increase over last year.

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2022 to the Year Ended December 31, 2021
Leasing revenues.    Per diem revenue represents revenue earned under operating lease contracts. Fee and ancillary lease revenue represents fees billed for the pick-up and drop-off of containers in certain geographic locations and billings of certain reimbursable operating costs such as repair and handling expenses. Finance lease revenue represents interest income earned under finance lease contracts. The following table summarizes our leasing revenue for the periods indicated below (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,
Leasing revenues20222021Variance
Operating leases: 
Per diem revenues$1,505,388 $1,445,292 $60,096 
Fee and ancillary revenues59,098 35,203 23,895 
Total operating lease revenues1,564,486 1,480,495 83,991 
Finance leases115,200 53,385 61,815 
Total leasing revenues$1,679,686 $1,533,880 $145,806 
Total leasing revenues were $1,679.7 million in 2022 compared to $1,533.9 million in 2021, an increase of $145.8 million.
Per diem revenues were $1,505.4 million in 2022 compared to $1,445.3 million in 2021, an increase of $60.1 million. The primary reasons for this increase are as follows:
$46.5 million increase primarily driven by the addition of new dry containers in 2021 with lease rates well above the average rates in our lease portfolio partially offset by a decrease in average per diem rates for our refrigerated containers; and
$14.9 million increase due to an increase of approximately 0.1 million CEU in the average number of containers on-hire. The number of containers on hire decreased throughout 2022 while they increased significantly during 2021, resulting in a relatively small increase in the average containers on hire in 2022 compared to last year.

Fee and ancillary lease revenues were $59.1 million in 2022 compared to $35.2 million in 2021, an increase of $23.9 million, primarily due to an increase in fee revenues related to the repositioning of containers and an increase in repair and handling revenue due to a higher volume of redeliveries.

Finance lease revenues were $115.2 million in 2022 compared to $53.4 million in 2021, an increase of $61.8 million. This increase is primarily due to the addition of $1.4 billion of net finance lease receivable predominantly in the second half of 2021, partially offset by the runoff of the portfolio.

Trading margin.    Trading margin was $16.0 million in 2022 compared to $34.1 million in 2021, a decrease of $18.1 million. This decrease is primarily due to decreased selling prices and lower volume.

Net gain (loss) on sale of leasing equipment.    Gain on sale of leasing equipment was $115.7 million in 2022 compared to $107.1 million in 2021, an increase of $8.6 million. The increase is largely due to a $11.6 million gain related to certain lease buyout transactions. Excluding these gains, gain on sale of leasing equipment decreased $3.0 million, due to a 16% decrease in the average sale price of our used dry containers, partially offset by a 23% increase in sales volume.

Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization was $634.8 million in 2022 compared to $626.2 million in 2021, an increase of $8.6 million. The primary reasons for the increase are as follows:
$60.0 million increase due to an increase in the number of new production units placed on hire during 2021 that have a full year of depreciation in 2022; partially offset by
$49.2 million decrease due to an increase in the number of containers that have become fully depreciated or reclassified to assets held for sale.

Direct operating expenses.    Direct operating expenses primarily consist of our costs to repair equipment returned off lease, store equipment when it is not on lease and reposition equipment from locations with weak leasing demand. Direct operating expenses were $42.4 million in 2022 compared to $26.9 million in 2021, an increase of $15.5 million. The primary reasons for the increase are as follows:
$9.6 million increase in storage expense resulting from an increase in the number of idle units; and
$7.8 million increase in repair and handling expense primarily due to higher volume of drop-off activity.

39



Administrative expenses.    Administrative expenses were $93.0 million in 2022 compared to $89.3 million in 2021, an increase of $3.7 million. The retirement and severance of certain employees in 2022 resulted in additional benefit expense, inclusive of share-based compensation expense on the accelerated vesting of their shares.

Provision (reversal) for doubtful accounts.    Reversal for doubtful accounts was $3.1 million in 2022 compared to $2.5 million in the same period in 2021. In 2022, we benefited from an $8.3 million recovery from the estate of a customer that had defaulted a number of years ago as well as a $0.7 million settlement from a customer that had also defaulted a number of years ago. This was partially offset by a $5.9 million reserve established as a result of a customer default in 2022. In 2021, we reversed reserves which were originally recorded in 2020 against a mid-sized customer's receivable.

Interest and debt expense.    Interest and debt expense was $226.1 million in 2022 compared to $222.0 million in 2021, an increase of $4.1 million. The primary reasons for the increase are as follows:
$26.1 million increase due to an increase in the average debt balance of $892.9 million; partially offset by
$22.1 million decrease due to a decrease in the average effective interest rate to 2.65% from 2.91%.

Debt termination expense. Debt termination expense was $1.9 million in 2022 compared to $133.9 million in 2021, a decrease of $132.0 million. In 2021, the Company incurred make-whole premium and other debt termination costs primarily related to the prepayment of senior secured institutional notes.

Income taxes. Income tax expense was $70.8 million in 2022 compared to $50.4 million in 2021, an increase of $20.4 million. The increase in income tax expense was due to an increase in pretax income. In addition, we recorded a non-recurring adjustment to our deferred tax liability as a result of a larger percentage of our income being allocated to the U.S. as well as various U.S. states.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Leasing Equipment

We purchase new equipment from manufacturers for the purpose of leasing to customers. We also purchase used equipment with the intention of selling in one or more years from the date of purchase.

Leasing equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated to an estimated residual value on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Capitalized costs for new equipment include the manufactured cost of the equipment, inspection, delivery, and associated costs incurred in moving the equipment from the manufacturer to the initial on-hire location. Repair and maintenance costs that do not extend the lives of the leasing equipment are charged to direct operating expenses at the time the costs are incurred.

The estimated useful lives and residual values of our leasing equipment are based on our expectations for future used container sale prices. We evaluate estimates used in our depreciation policies on a regular basis to determine whether changes have taken place that would suggest that a change in our depreciation estimates for useful lives or the assigned residual values of our equipment is warranted. For 2022, the Company completed its annual depreciation policy assessment during the fourth quarter and concluded no change was necessary. However, small changes in residual values could result in large increases or decreases to the Company's annual depreciation expense.

The estimated useful lives and residual values for each major equipment type for the periods indicated below were as follows:
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021
Equipment Type

Depreciation on leasing equipment commences on the date of initial on-hire.

For leasing equipment purchased for resale that may be leased for a period of time, we adjust our estimates for remaining useful life and residual values based on our expectations for how long the equipment will remain on-hire to the current lessee and the expected sales market for older containers when these units are redelivered.

The net book value of our leasing equipment by equipment type is as follows (in thousands):
December 31, 2022December 31, 2021
Dry container$7,550,616 $8,087,346 
Refrigerated container1,364,012 1,556,673 
Special container287,106 297,925 
Tank container112,166 102,220 
Chassis216,496 156,949 
Total$9,530,396 $10,201,113 

Included in the amounts above are units not on lease at December 31, 2022 and 2021 with a total net book value of $525.4 million and $391.3 million, respectively. If equipment is purchased under finance lease obligations, the depreciation will be included in depreciation and amortization expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Valuation of Leasing Equipment

Leasing equipment is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds our estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Key indicators of impairment on leasing equipment include, among other factors, a sustained decrease in operating profitability, a sustained decrease in utilization, or indications of technological obsolescence.

When testing for impairment, leasing equipment is generally grouped by equipment type, and is tested separately from other groups of assets and liabilities. Some of the significant estimates and assumptions used to determine future undiscounted cash flows and the measurement for impairment are the remaining useful life, expected utilization, expected future lease rates and expected disposal prices of the equipment. We consider the assumptions on expected utilization and the remaining useful life to have the greatest impact on its estimate of future undiscounted cash flows. These estimates are principally based on our historical experience and management's judgment of market conditions.

There were no key indicators of impairment and we did not record any impairment charges related to leasing equipment for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Equipment Held for Sale

When leasing equipment is returned from lease, we make a determination of whether to repair and re-lease the equipment or sell the equipment. At the time we determine that equipment will be sold, we reclassify the carrying value of leasing equipment to equipment held for sale. Equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of its estimated fair value, less costs to sell, or carrying value at the time identified for sale. Depreciation expense on equipment held for sale is halted and disposals generally occur within 90 days. Initial write downs of equipment held for sale to fair value are recorded as an impairment charge and are included in Net gain or loss on sale of leasing equipment. Subsequent increases or decreases to the fair value of those assets are recorded as adjustments to the carrying value of the equipment held for sale, however, any such adjustments may not exceed the respective equipment's carrying value at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Realized gains and losses resulting from the sale of equipment held for sale are recorded as Net gain or loss on sale of leasing equipment, and cash flows associated with the disposal of equipment held for sale are classified as cash flows from investing activities.

Equipment recorded within our equipment trading segment is also included in Equipment held for sale. Gains and losses resulting from the sale of this equipment is recorded in Trading margin, and cash flows associated with the sale of this equipment are classified as cash flows from operating activities.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded the following net gains or losses on equipment held for sale on the Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,

Revenue Recognition

Lease Classification

We determine the classification of a lease at its inception as either operating leases or finance leases. If the provisions of the lease change after lease inception, other than by renewal or extension, we evaluate whether that change may have resulted in a different lease classification had the change been in effect at inception. If so, the revised agreement is considered a new lease for lease classification purposes. The classification of the lease as either an operating lease or finance lease will impact revenue recognition.

Operating Leases with Customers

The Company enters into long-term leases and service leases with ocean carriers, principally as lessor in operating leases, for marine cargo equipment. Long-term leases provide customers with specified equipment for a specified term. The Company's leasing revenues are based upon the number of equipment units leased, the applicable per diem rate and the length of the lease. Long-term leases typically have initial contractual terms ranging from five to eight or more years. Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. Revenue from advance billings are deferred and recognized in the period earned. Service leases do not specify the exact number of equipment units to be leased or the term that each unit will remain on-hire, but allow the lessee to pick-up and drop-off units at various locations specified in the lease agreement. Under a service lease, rental revenue is based on the number of equipment units on-hire for a given period. Revenue from customers considered to be non-performing is deferred and recognized when the amounts are received.

The Company recognizes billings to customers for damages and certain other operating costs as leasing revenue when earned based on the terms of the contractual agreements with the customer.

Finance Leases with Customers

The Company enters into finance leases as lessor for some of the equipment in its fleet. At the inception of the lease, the Company records the total future minimum lease payments plus the estimated residual value, net of executory costs, if any. Cash deposits reduce the net finance lease receivable and are recorded on the statement of cash flows as deferred revenue within operating activities. The net investment in finance leases represents the receivables due from lessees, net of unearned income and amounts previously billed, which are included in accounts receivable. Unearned income, which also includes any initial direct costs, is recognized on a constant yield basis over the lease term and is recorded as leasing revenue. The Company's finance leases are usually long-term in nature and typically include an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for a nominal price that the Company deems reasonably certain to be exercised.

Equipment Trading Revenues and Expenses

Equipment trading revenues represent the proceeds from the sale of equipment purchased for resale and are recognized as units are sold. The related expenses represent the cost of equipment sold as well as other selling costs that are recognized as incurred and are reflected as equipment trading expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually on October 31 of each fiscal year or more frequently if events occur or circumstances exist that indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. Goodwill has been allocated to our reporting units, which are the same as our reporting segments.

44


In evaluating goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. Among the relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value of reporting units, we consider individual factors such as macroeconomic conditions, changes in our industry and the markets in which we operate, as well as our reporting units' historical and expected future financial performance. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, we determine it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than our carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. The quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with our carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is less than its fair value, no impairment exists. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

We elected to perform the qualitative assessment for our evaluation of goodwill impairment during the year ended December 31, 2022 and concluded there was no impairment. Since inception through December 31, 2022, we have not had any goodwill impairment.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, values or cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The fair value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, might change as a result of changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes. We have operations internationally and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks include interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks.

Interest Rate Risk

We enter into derivative agreements to fix the interest rates on a portion of our floating-rate debt. We assess and manage the external and internal risk associated with these derivative instruments in accordance with our overall operating goals. External risk is defined as those risks outside of our direct control, including counterparty credit risk, liquidity risk, systemic risk and legal risk. Internal risk relates to those operational risks within the management oversight structure and include actions taken in contravention of our policies.

The primary external risk of our derivative agreements is counterparty credit exposure, which is defined as the ability of a counterparty to perform its financial obligations under the agreement. All of our derivative agreements are with highly-rated financial institutions. Credit exposures are measured based on counterparty credit risks and the market value of outstanding derivative instruments.

As of December 31, 2022, we had derivative agreements in place to fix interest rates on a portion of our borrowings under debt facilities with floating interest rates as summarized below:
DerivativesNotional Amount (in millions)Weighted Average
Fixed Leg (Pay) Interest Rate
Weighted Average
Remaining Term
Interest Rate Swap(1)
$1,327.82.22%4.0 years
(1)     Excludes certain interest rate swaps with an effective date in a future period ("forward starting swaps"). Including these instruments will increase total notional amount by $350.0 million and increase the weighted average remaining term to 5.3 years.

Our derivative agreements are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Any unrealized gains or losses related to the changes in fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to interest and debt expense as they are realized. As of December 31, 2022, we have certain interest rate cap agreements that are non-designated derivatives and changes in fair value are recognized as unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net, on the statements of operations.

Approximately 88% of our debt is either fixed or hedged using derivative instruments which helps mitigate the impact of changes in short-term interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rates on our unhedged debt (primarily Term SOFR) would result in an increase of approximately $10.1 million in interest expense over the next 12 months.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

Although we have significant foreign-based operations, the majority of our revenues and our operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we pay our non-U.S. employees in local currencies and certain operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Net foreign currency exchange losses were $2.0 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and, 2021, respectively.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management's Report Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based upon management's evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

We assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 and based our assessment on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as part of the audit, has issued a report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. Please refer to "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the three months ended December 31, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our senior management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Triton International Limited:

Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Triton International Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement schedules I to II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
F-2


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Assessment of residual values of leasing equipment
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the net book value of leasing equipment as of December 31, 2022 was $9.5 billion. Leasing equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated to an estimated residual value on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. To determine the residual values of leasing equipment, the Company evaluates historical disposal experience and expectations of future used container sales prices.

We identified the assessment of residual values of leasing equipment as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required given the measurement uncertainty of the residual values of leasing equipment. Specifically, auditor judgment was required to evaluate the identification and support for trends affecting future used container sales prices.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company's residual value estimation process, including controls over the key assumption used to estimate residual values of leasing equipment. We tested historical used container sales of the Company by examining historical sales invoices and considered their relevance and reliability to the residual values of leasing equipment. We assessed the mathematical accuracy of the historical average selling prices. We compared the historical average selling prices to current residual values. We compared identified trends in certain used container sales prices from published industry reports to trends identified by the Company within its historical data and evaluated the Company's determination of the effect of those trends on current residual value estimates. We compared the estimated residual values of certain containers to publicly available peer data.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Triton International Limited ("Triton" or the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, leases intermodal transportation equipment, primarily maritime containers, and provides maritime container management services through a worldwide network of service subsidiaries, third-party depots and other facilities. The majority of the Company's business is derived from leasing its containers to shipping line customers through a variety of long-term and short-term contractual lease arrangements. The Company also sells containers from its equipment leasing fleet as well as containers specifically acquired for resale from third parties. The Company's registered office is located in Bermuda.

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying prior period financial statements and notes to conform to the current year's presentation.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest, and variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The equity method of accounting is applied when the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity but exerts significant influence over the entity. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimates in connection with leasing equipment, including residual values and depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale and other long lived assets, provision for income tax, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Company conducts its business activities in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and has two reporting segments, Equipment leasing and Equipment trading. The Company also segregates total equipment leasing revenues and total equipment trading revenues by geographic location based upon the primary domicile of the Company's customers.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company's equipment leases and trade receivables subject it to potential credit risk. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and credit history. Evaluations of the financial condition and associated credit risk of customers are performed on an ongoing basis. The Company's largest customer accounted for 20%, 21%, and 22% of its lease billings during 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and accounted for 11% and 26% of its accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company's second largest customer accounted for 17%, 16%, and 14% of its lease billings during 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and accounted for 11% of its accounts receivable as of both December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company's third largest customer accounted for 11%, 10%, and 9% of its lease billings during 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and accounted for 11% and 5% of its accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Other financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances. Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash are held with financial institutions of high quality. Balances may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The determination of fair value may require an entity to make significant judgments or develop assumptions about market participants to reflect risks specific to the asset being valued. The Company uses the following fair value hierarchy when selecting inputs for its valuation techniques, with the highest priority given to Level 1:
Level 1—quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3—unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, equipment purchases payable and accounts payable carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company's other financial and non-financial assets, which include leasing equipment, net investment in finance leases, intangible assets and goodwill, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, the Company may determine that these assets should be written down to their fair value after completing an evaluation.

For information on the fair value of equipment held for sale, debt, and the fair value of derivative instruments, please refer to Note 3 - "Equipment Held for Sale", Note 6 - "Debt" and Note 7 - "Derivative Instruments", respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments having original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Restricted Cash

The Company's restricted cash relates to amounts held at financial institutions pursuant to certain debt arrangements. The restricted cash balances represent cash proceeds collected and required to be used to pay debt service and other related expenses.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based upon a review of the collectability of its receivables. This review is based on the risk profile of the receivables, credit quality indicators such as the level of past-due amounts and economic conditions. Generally, the Company does not require collateral on accounts receivable balances. An account is considered past due when a payment has not been received in accordance with the contractual terms. Changes in economic conditions or other events may necessitate additions or deductions to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is intended to provide for losses in the receivables, and requires the application of estimates and judgments as to the outcome of collection efforts, among other things. The Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to provide for credit losses inherent in its existing receivables.

For our net investment in finance leases and accounts receivable for sales of equipment, the Company measures expected credit loss by evaluating the overall credit quality of its customers. Expected credit losses for these financial assets are estimated using historical experience which includes multiple economic cycles, customer payment history, management's assessment of the customer's financial condition, and consideration of current conditions and reasonable forecasts.

Net Investment in Finance Leases

The Company has entered into various lease agreements that qualify as finance leases. These leases are long-term in nature, ranging for a period of three to fourteen years, and typically include an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for a nominal price that the Company deems reasonably certain to be exercised. At the inception of a finance lease, a net investment is recorded based on the gross investment (representing the total future minimum lease payments plus the estimated residual value), net of unearned income. Unearned income represents the excess of the gross investment over the fair value of the leased equipment at lease commencement. Any gain or loss is recognized at commencement and recorded in Net gain on sale of leasing equipment.

Leasing Equipment

The Company purchases new equipment from manufacturers for the purpose of leasing to customers. The Company also purchases used equipment with the intention of selling in one or more years from the date of purchase.

Leasing equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated to an estimated residual value on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Capitalized costs for new equipment include the manufactured cost of the equipment, inspection, delivery, and associated costs incurred in moving the equipment from the manufacturer to the initial on-hire location. Repair and maintenance costs that do not extend the lives of the leasing equipment are charged to direct operating expenses at the time the costs are incurred.

The estimated useful lives and residual values of the Company's leasing equipment are based on the Company's expectations for future used container sale prices. The Company evaluates estimates used in its depreciation policies on a regular basis to determine whether changes have taken place that would suggest that a change in its depreciation estimates for useful lives or the assigned residual values of its equipment is warranted. For 2022, the Company completed its annual depreciation policy assessment during the fourth quarter and concluded no change was necessary.
The estimated useful lives and residual values for each major equipment type for the periods indicated below were as follows:
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021

Valuation of Leasing Equipment

Leasing equipment is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Key indicators of impairment on leasing equipment include, among other factors, a sustained decrease in operating profitability, a sustained decrease in utilization, or indications of technological obsolescence.

When testing for impairment, leasing equipment is generally grouped by equipment type, and is tested separately from other groups of assets and liabilities. Some of the significant estimates and assumptions used to determine future undiscounted cash flows and the measurement for impairment are the remaining useful life, expected utilization, expected future lease rates and expected disposal prices of the equipment. The Company considers the assumptions on expected utilization and the remaining useful life to have the greatest impact on its estimate of future undiscounted cash flows. These estimates are principally based on the Company's historical experience and management's judgment of market conditions.

The Company has not record any impairment charges related to leasing equipment for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

Equipment Held for Sale

When leasing equipment is returned off lease, the Company makes a determination of whether to repair and re-lease the equipment or sell the equipment. At the time the Company determines that equipment will be sold, it reclassifies the carrying value of leasing equipment to equipment held for sale. Equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of its estimated fair value less costs to sell or carrying value at the time identified for sale. Depreciation expense on equipment held for sale is halted and disposals generally occur within 90 days. Initial write downs of equipment held for sale to fair value are recorded as an impairment charge and are included in Net gain on sale of leasing equipment. Subsequent increases or decreases to the fair value of those assets are recorded as adjustments to the carrying value of the equipment held for sale, however, any such adjustments may not exceed the respective equipment's carrying value at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Realized gains and losses resulting from the sale of equipment held for sale are recorded in Net gain on sale of leasing equipment, and cash flows associated with the disposal of equipment held for sale are classified as cash flows from investing activities.

Equipment recorded within our equipment trading segment is also included in Equipment held for sale. Gains and losses resulting from the sale of this equipment is recorded in Trading margin, and cash flows associated with the sale of this equipment are classified as cash flows from operating activities.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office space and office equipment and evaluates whether these leases are classified as operating or financing at the inception of the lease. The classification is based on certain assumptions that require judgment, such as the asset's fair value, the asset's estimated residual value, the interest rate implicit in the lease, and the asset's economic useful life.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


For operating leases, the Company records a lease liability based on the present value of the remaining minimum payments and a corresponding right-of-use ("ROU") asset. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The benefits of lease incentives, including rent-free or reduced rent periods, and the cost of future rent escalations are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lease liability and a corresponding ROU asset are not recognized when, at the commencement date of the lease, the term is 12 months or less.

Property, Furniture and Equipment

Costs of major additions of property, furniture, equipment and improvements are capitalized and are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The original cost is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such property, furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the leased assets. Other fixed assets, which consist primarily of computer software and hardware, are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives, which range from three to seven years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as they are incurred.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually on October 31 of each fiscal year or more frequently if events occur or circumstances exist that indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. Goodwill has been allocated to the Company's reporting units, which are the same as its reporting segments.

In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. Among the relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value of reporting units, the Company considers individual factors such as macroeconomic conditions, changes in its industry and the markets in which the Company operates, as well as its reporting units' historical and expected future financial performance. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company determines it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. The quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is less than its fair value, no impairment exists. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

The Company elected to perform the qualitative assessment for its evaluation of goodwill impairment during the year ended December 31, 2022 and concluded there was no impairment. The Company has not recorded any impairment charges related to goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives such as acquired lease intangibles are initially recorded at fair value and are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and subsequently reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company has not recorded any impairment charges related to intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

Revenue Recognition

Lease Classification

We determine the classification of a lease at its inception as either operating leases or finance leases. If the provisions of the lease change after lease inception, other than by renewal or extension, we evaluate whether that change may have resulted in a different lease classification had the change been in effect at inception. If so, the revised agreement is considered a new lease for lease classification purposes. The classification of the lease as either an operating lease or finance lease will impact revenue recognition.

Operating Leases with Customers

The Company enters into long-term leases and service leases with ocean carriers, principally as lessor in operating leases, for marine cargo equipment. Long-term leases provide customers with specified equipment for a specified term. The Company's leasing revenues are based upon the number of equipment units leased, the applicable per diem rate and the length of the lease. Long-term leases typically have initial contractual terms ranging from five to eight or more years. Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. Revenue from advance billings are deferred and recognized in the period earned. Service leases do not specify the exact number of equipment units to be leased or the term that each unit will remain on-hire, but allow the lessee to pick-up and drop-off units at various locations specified in the lease agreement. Under a service lease, rental revenue is based on the number of equipment units on-hire for a given period. Revenue from customers considered to be non-performing is deferred and recognized when the amounts are received.

The Company recognizes billings to customers for damages and certain other operating costs as leasing revenue when earned based on the terms of the contractual agreements with the customer.

Finance Leases with Customers

The Company enters into finance leases as lessor for some of the equipment in its fleet. At the inception of the lease, the Company records the total future minimum lease payments plus the estimated residual value, net of executory costs, if any. Cash deposits reduce the net finance lease receivable and are recorded on the statement of cash flows as deferred revenue within operating activities. The net investment in finance leases represents the receivables due from lessees, net of unearned income and amounts previously billed, which are included in accounts receivable. Unearned income, which also includes any initial direct costs, is recognized on a constant yield basis over the lease term and is recorded as leasing revenue. The Company's finance leases are usually long-term in nature and typically include an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for a nominal price that the Company deems reasonably certain to be exercised.

Equipment Trading Revenues and Expenses

Equipment trading revenues represent the proceeds from the sale of equipment purchased for resale and are recognized as units are sold. The related expenses represent the cost of equipment sold as well as other selling costs that are recognized as incurred and are reflected as equipment trading expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Direct Operating Expenses

Direct operating expenses are directly related to the Company's equipment under and available for lease. These expenses primarily consist of the Company's costs to repair and maintain the equipment, to reposition the equipment and to store the equipment when it is not on lease. These costs are recognized when incurred. Certain positioning costs may be capitalized when incurred to place new equipment on an initial lease.

Debt Costs

Debt costs represent the fees incurred in connection with debt obligation arrangements. These costs are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the related obligation, depending on the type of debt obligation to which they relate. Unamortized debt costs may be written off when the related debt obligations are refinanced or extinguished prior to maturity.

Derivative Instruments

The Company primarily uses derivatives in the management of its interest rate exposure on its long-term borrowings. The Company records derivative instruments on its balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for both the designation and effectiveness of hedging activities.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements with certain financial institutions. The interest rate swap agreements require the Company to make payments to counterparties at fixed rates in return for receipts based upon variable rates indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR").

F-14


TRITON INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Derivative instruments are designated or non-designated for hedge accounting purposes. The fair value of the derivative instruments is measured at each balance sheet date and is reflected on a gross basis on the consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value of the derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are re-classified to interest and debt expense when the hedged interest payments are recognized. The change in fair value of non-designated derivative instruments is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any change in the tax rate which has an effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as an increase or decrease to income in the period that includes the enactment date of the law that resulted in the change in tax rate.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions which are more-likely-than-not of being sustained.  If a position does not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria, the Company records a reserve against the tax position such that a tax benefit is recognized only in the amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being recognized.  The full impact of any change in recognition or measurement of an uncertain tax position is reflected in the period in which such change occurs. Potential interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions are recorded as a component of income tax expense.

Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement

The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency. The net assets and operations that are denominated in foreign currency and are subject to foreign currency translation included in the consolidated financial statements are attributable primarily to the Company's U.K. subsidiary. The accounts of this subsidiary have been converted at rates of exchange in effect at year end as to balance sheet accounts and at the annual weighted average exchange rates for the statements of operations accounts. The effects of changes in exchange rates in translating foreign subsidiaries' financial statements are included in shareholders' equity as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.

The Company also has certain cash accounts, certain finance lease receivables and certain obligations that are denominated in currencies other than the Company's functional currency. These assets and liabilities are generally denominated in euros or British pounds, and are re-measured at each balance sheet date at the exchange rates in effect as of those dates. The impact of changes in exchange rates on the re-measurement of assets and liabilities are included in administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded a loss of $2.0 million, a loss of $1.0 million and a gain of $0.4 million in net foreign currency exchange gains or losses for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Share-based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes share-based awards granted to employees based on the grant date fair value. Share-based awards may be subject to forfeiture if certain employment conditions are not met. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. Time based awards are measured at the grant date and are recognized as compensation expense over the employee's requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the equity award, on a straight-line basis. Performance-based awards are recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period when satisfaction of the performance condition is considered probable. The Company also grants share-based awards to non-employee directors that vest immediately and are recognized as compensation expense based on the grant date fair value.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Any potential issuance of common shares, including those that are contingent and do not participate in dividends, are excluded from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if securities exercisable or convertible into common shares were exercised or converted into common shares, utilizing the treasury share method.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments

In July 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-05, Lease (Topic 842): Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. This guidance amends the lease classification accounting for lessors on certain leases with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate. The Company did not have such leases and therefore the Company's adoption of this standard on January 1, 2022 had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Equipment Held for Sale

The Company's equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of fair value less cost to sell, or carrying value at the time identified for sale. Fair value is measured using Level 2 inputs and is based predominantly on recent sales prices. An impairment charge is recorded when the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. The following table summarizes the Company's net impairment charges recorded in Net gain on sale of leasing equipment on the Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):

Collection accounts

The Company maintains bank accounts for collections related to its containers that are financed ("the Collection Accounts"). Cash proceeds collected from leasing and disposition are deposited into the Collection Accounts and all expenses related to the operation of the containers are paid from the Collection Accounts. The Company considers the portion of the Collection Accounts which is being held in trust for the benefit of Asset Backed Securitization ("ABS") noteholders as restricted and the portion of the balance attributable to containers that are unsecured as unrestricted.

Trust accounts

Pursuant to certain debt agreements, cash is transferred from the Collection Accounts to separate accounts (the "Trust Accounts"). The Trust Accounts are maintained by an indenture trustee on behalf of certain ABS noteholders. The cash in the Trust Accounts is used to pay related ABS debt service and related expenses. After such payments, any remaining cash in these accounts is transferred to certain unrestricted bank accounts of the Company and is included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other restricted cash accounts

Pursuant to certain asset-backed debt agreements, cash is held at separate accounts in order to maintain an amount equal to projected interest expense for a specified number of months.

Asset-Backed Securitization Term Instruments

Under the Company's ABS facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company enter into debt agreements for ABS term instruments, including ABS notes. These subsidiaries are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

On April 29, 2022, the Company extinguished an ABS term note and paid the outstanding balance of $391.3 million. As a result, the Company wrote off $1.3 million of debt related costs.

On September 20, 2022, the Company extinguished an ABS term loan facility and paid the outstanding balance of $186.1 million. As a result, the Company wrote off $0.2 million of debt related costs.

The Company’s borrowings under the ABS facilities amortize in monthly installments, typically in level payments over five or more years. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment is determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three to nine months of interest expense depending on the terms of each facility.

Asset-Backed Securitization Warehouse

Under the Company's ABS warehouse facility, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issues ABS notes. This subsidiary is intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

On April 27, 2022, the Company amended its existing ABS warehouse facility with $1,125.0 million borrowing capacity to extend the revolving period to April 27, 2025 and change the interest rate to the term SOFR plus 1.60%. After the revolving period, borrowings will convert to term notes with a maturity date of April 27, 2029, paying interest at SOFR plus 2.60%. As part of this transaction, the Company wrote off $0.3 million of debt related costs.

During the revolving period, the borrowing capacity under this facility is determined by applying an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment are determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three months of interest expense.

Senior Notes

The Company’s senior notes are unsecured and have maturities ranging from 2 -10 years and interest payments due semi-annually. The senior notes are pre-payable (in whole or in part) at the Company's option at any time prior to the maturity date, subject to certain provisions in the senior note agreements, including the payment of a make-whole premium in respect to such prepayment.

On January 19, 2022, the Company completed a $600.0 million 3.25% senior notes offering with a maturity date of March 15, 2032.

Term Loan Facility

The Company's term loan facility has a maturity date of May 27, 2026, which amortizes in quarterly installments. On October 26, 2022, the Company amended its term loan facility to change the reference rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. There was no change to the margin over the reference rate as a result of this amendment.

This facility is subject to covenants customary for unsecured financings of this type, primarily financial covenants that require us to maintain a maximum ratio of unencumbered assets to certain financial indebtedness.

Revolving Credit Facility

On October 26, 2022, the Company amended its revolving credit facility to extend the maturity date to October 26, 2027 and change the reference rate from LIBOR to term SOFR. There was no change to the margin over the reference rate as a result of these amendments. As part of this transaction, the Company wrote off $0.1 million of debt related costs.

The revolving credit facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $2,000.0 million. This facility is subject to covenants customary for unsecured financings of this type, primarily financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum ratio of unencumbered assets to certain financial indebtedness.

The Company hedges the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of its floating-rate debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements that convert a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense.

The fair value of total debt outstanding was $7,264.7 million and $8,572.9 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and was measured using Level 2 inputs.

As of December 31, 2022, the maximum borrowing levels for the ABS warehouse and the revolving credit facilities are $1,125.0 million and $2,000.0 million, respectively. Certain of these facilities are governed by either borrowing bases or an unencumbered asset test that limits borrowing capacity. Based on those limitations, the availability under these credit facilities at December 31, 2022 was approximately $1,262.3 million.

The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under its debt financings. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in accordance with the terms of its debt agreements.

Note 7—Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps / Caps

The Company enters into derivative agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to limit the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of floating-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments over the lives of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to interest and debt expense when they are realized.

The Company has entered into offsetting $500.0 million notional interest rate cap agreements with substantially similar economic terms related to certain debt facility requirements. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments, and because they offset, changes in fair value have an immaterial impact on the financial statements.

The counterparties to these agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of these agreements, the Company's exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each monthly settlement period over the life of the agreements. The Company does not anticipate any non-performance by the counterparties.

Certain assets of the Company's subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for various ABS facilities and the amounts payable under certain derivative agreements. Additionally, the Company may be required to post cash collateral on certain derivative agreements if the fair value of these contracts represents a liability. Any amounts of cash collateral posted are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are presented in operating activities of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of December 31, 2022, the Company posted cash collateral on derivative instruments of $2.0 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company terminated the following derivative instruments (in millions):

(1)    For interest rate swaps that were originally designated as cash flow hedges, the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be amortized to debt and interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining term of the derivative instruments at time of termination.

Within the next twelve months, we expect to reclassify $41.7 million of net unrealized and realized gains related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings.

On September 30, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a scheduled maturity date of September 30, 2025. This contract is indexed to 1 month term SOFR, has a fixed rate of 3.82%, and has a notional amount of $200.0 million.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company presents the fair value of derivative financial instruments on a gross basis as a separate line item on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company has elected to use the income approach to value its interest rate swap and cap agreements, using Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future values to a single discounted present value. The Level 2 inputs for the interest rate swap and cap valuations are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals). In response to the expected phase out of LIBOR, the Company continues to work with its counterparties to identify an alternative reference rate. Substantially all of the Company's derivative agreements have fallback provisions that would govern their transition to another benchmark, and the Company also adopted various practical expedients which will facilitate the transition.

Note 8—Leases

Lessee

The Company's leases are primarily for multiple office facilities which are contracted under various cancelable and non-cancelable operating leases, most of which provide extension or early termination options. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The weighted average implicit rate was 3.98% and 3.50% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively and the weighted average remaining lease term was 1.6 years and 2.1 years for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company’s finance lease portfolio lessees are primarily comprised of the largest international shipping lines. In its estimate of expected credit losses, the Company evaluates the overall credit quality of its finance lease portfolio. The Company considers an account past due when a payment has not been received in accordance with the terms of the related lease agreement and maintains allowances, if necessary, for doubtful accounts. These allowances are based on, but not limited to, historical experience which includes stronger and weaker economic cycles, each lessee's payment history, management's current assessment of each lessee's financial condition, consideration of current economic conditions and reasonable market forecasts.

During 2022, there was a default on certain finance leases in our portfolio for which the full amount is not expected to be recovered, and the Company recognized a net impairment charge of $5.9 million which is recorded in the provision for doubtful

accounts in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. At the time of default, the net investment in finance lease was re-classified to leasing equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company has reviewed the remaining finance lease portfolio for expected credit losses considering the factors noted above for each lessee, and based on its assessment as of December 31, 2022, further credit losses are not expected in the portfolio. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company does not have an allowance on its gross finance lease receivables and does not have any material past due balances.

Also included in the provision for doubtful accounts is a benefit of $9.0 million related to the settlement and recovery of amounts due from customers that had defaulted a number of years ago.

Note 9—Share-Based Compensation

The Company's 2016 Equity Incentive Plan ("2016 Equity Plan") provides for the granting of service-based and performance-based restricted shares and units to executives, employees and directors. The maximum aggregate number of shares and units that may be issued under the 2016 Equity Plan is 5,000,000 common shares and units. Any awards issued under the 2016 Equity Plan that are forfeited by the participant, will become available for future grant under the 2016 Equity Plan.

The following table summarizes the Company's restricted share activity for the year ended December 31, 2022:

The share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 included in administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations was $12.5 million, $9.4 million, and $9.9 million, respectively. Share based compensation expense includes charges for performance-based shares and units that are deemed probable to vest.

As of December 31, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted share awards and units was approximately $10.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 1.7 years.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company's Board of Directors authorized repurchases of shares up to a specified dollar amount as part of its repurchase program. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, and may include transactions pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Purchases may be made from time to time at the Company's discretion and the timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and the Company may suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 9,065,286 common shares at an average price per-share of $61.22 for a total of $555.2 million. As of December 31, 2022, $355.6 million remains available under the Share Repurchase Program.

As a result of these offerings, the Company received $707.0 million in aggregate net proceeds which were used for general corporate purposes, including the purchase of containers, the repurchase of outstanding common shares, the payment of dividends, and the repayment or repurchase of outstanding indebtedness.

Each Series of preferred shares may be redeemed at the Company's option, at any time after approximately five years from original issuance, in whole or in part at a redemption price, plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared. The Company may also redeem each Series of preferred shares prior to the lapse of the five year period upon the occurrence of certain events as described in each instrument, such as transactions that either transfer ownership of substantially all assets to a single entity or establish a majority voting interest by a single entity, and cause a downgrade or withdrawal of rating by the rating agency within 60 days of the event. If the Company does not elect to redeem each Series upon the occurrence of the preceding events, holders of preferred shares may have the right to convert their preferred shares into common shares. Specifically for Series E only, the Company may redeem the Series E Preference Shares if an applicable rating agency changes the methodology or criteria that were employed in assigning equity credit to securities similar to the Series E Preference Shares when originally issued, which either (a) shortens the period of time during which equity credit pertaining to the Series E Preference Shares would have been in effect had the methodology not been changed or (b) reduces the amount of equity credit as compared with the amount of equity credit that the rating agency had assigned to the Series E Preference Shares when originally issued.

Holders of preferred shares generally have no voting rights. If the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive), holders will be entitled to elect two additional directors to the Board of Directors and the size of the Board of Directors will be increased to accommodate such election. Such right to elect two directors will continue until such time as there are no accumulated and unpaid dividends in arrears.

Dividends

Dividends on shares of each Series are cumulative from the date of original issue and will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Dividends will be payable equal to the stated rate per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. The Series rank senior to the Company's common shares with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary.

Segment Information

The Company operates its business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and has two operating segments which also represent its reporting segments:
Equipment leasing - the Company owns, leases and ultimately disposes of containers and chassis from its lease fleet.
Equipment trading - the Company purchases containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resells these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment. Included in the equipment trading segment revenues are leasing revenues from equipment purchased for resale that is currently on lease until the containers are dropped off.

The Company is a Bermuda exempted company. Bermuda does not impose a corporate income tax. The Company is subject to taxation in certain foreign jurisdictions on a portion of its income attributable to such jurisdictions. The two main subsidiaries of Triton are TCIL and TAL. TCIL is a Bermuda exempted company and therefore no income tax is imposed. However, a portion of TCIL's income is subject to taxation in the U.S. TAL is a U.S. company and therefore is subject to taxation in the U.S.

The following table sets forth the components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities (in thousands):

Total gross deferred tax liability420,617 387,373 
Net deferred income tax liability$411,628 $376,009 

At December 31, 2022, the Company had U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards of $13.5 million that expire at various times beginning in 2024 and net interest expense limitation carryforwards of $13.5 million that have an indefinite carryforward period. The Company maintained a valuation allowance of $0.2 million at December 31, 2022 related to U.S. state net operating losses, as it is more likely than not that the Company will be unable to utilize these losses. There has been no change in the Company's valuation allowance from December 31, 2021.

In assessing the potential future realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods during which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at December 31, 2022.

Certain income taxes on unremitted earnings have not been reflected on the consolidated financial statements because such earnings are intended to be permanently reinvested in those jurisdictions. Such earnings and related income taxes are estimated to be approximately $236.6 million and $70.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022.

The following table sets forth the unrecognized tax benefit amounts (in thousands):

The Company files income tax returns in several jurisdictions including the U.S. and certain U.S. states. The tax years 2019 through 2022 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

(b) The Notes issuable under this Indenture shall be issued in such Series, and such Class or Classes within a Series, as may from time to time be created by Supplement pursuant to this Indenture. Each Series shall be created by a different Supplement and shall be designated to differentiate the Notes of such Series from the Notes of any other Series. Unless otherwise specified in the related Supplement, the Issuer intends that the Notes of the Series shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC. (c) Upon satisfaction of and compliance with the requirements and conditions to Closing set forth in the related Supplement, Notes of the Series to be executed and delivered on a particular Series Issuance Date pursuant to such related Supplement, may be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication following the execution and

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 202 or of Section 205, unless and until a Global Note is exchanged in whole for Definitive Notes, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole, but not in part, and in the manner provided in this Section 202, only by (i) the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary, or (ii) by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or (iii) by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Issuer or to a nominee of such successor Depositary or in the manner specified in Section 202(d).

(d) If (i) the Issuer elects to issue Definitive Notes, (ii) the Depositary for the Notes represented by one or more Global Notes at any time notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary of the Notes or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary is not appointed or approved by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, (iii) the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of


 
6 the Control Party for a Series, elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary for such Series or (iv) after an Event of Default, the Control Party for a Series notifies the Depositary or Book-Entry Custodian for such Series, as the case may be, in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depositary or the Book-Entry Custodian, as the case may be, is no longer in the best interest of the Noteholders of such Series, the Issuer will promptly execute, and the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate evidencing such determination by the Issuer, will promptly authenticate and make available for delivery, Definitive Notes, in authorized denominations and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of one or more Global Notes so exchanged in exchange for such one or more Global Notes or as an original issuance of Notes and this Section 202(d) shall no longer be applicable to the Notes of such Series. Upon the exchange of the Global Notes for such Definitive Notes without coupons, in authorized denominations, such Global Notes shall be canceled by the Indenture Trustee. All Definitive Notes shall be issued without coupons. Such Definitive Notes issued in exchange of the Global Notes pursuant to this Section 202(d) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary in the case of an exchange or the Note Registrar in the case of an original issuance, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may conclusively and exclusively rely on any such instructions furnished by the Depositary or the Note Registrar, as the case may be, and shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions. The Indenture Trustee shall make such Notes available for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. (e) As long as the Notes Outstanding are represented by one or more Global Notes: (1) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the Depositary for all purposes (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes) as the authorized representative of the Note Owners; (2) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Depositary or the Depositary Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued, the Depositary will make book-entry transfers among the Depositary Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of, and interest on, the Notes to such Depositary Participants; and (3) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the voting rights of a particular Series, the Depositary shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Depositary Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes (or Class of Notes) and has delivered such instruction to the Indenture Trustee.


 
7 (f) Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the Depositary. (g) The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depositary authorizing it to act as such. If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Indenture Trustee or, if it so elects, the Depositary shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Issuer shall have the rights to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Notes held as Global Notes by the Book-Entry Custodian. (h) The provisions of Section 205(g) shall apply to all transfers of Definitive Notes, if any, issued in respect of Ownership Interests in the Rule 144A Global Notes. Section 203 Execution; Recourse Obligation. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized Signatory of the Issuer. The Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication by the Indenture Trustee. In case any Authorized Signatory of the Issuer whose signature shall appear on the Notes shall cease to be an Authorized Signatory of the Issuer before the authentication by the Indenture Trustee and delivery of such Notes, such signature or facsimile signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes. All Notes and the interest and other amounts payable thereon shall be full recourse obligations of the Issuer and shall be secured by all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in the applicable Collateral. The Notes shall never constitute obligations of the Indenture Trustee, the Manager, the Seller or of any shareholder or any Affiliate of the Seller (other than the Issuer) or any member of the Issuer, or any officers, directors, employees or agents of any thereof, and no recourse may be had under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture, any Supplement or of any Notes, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, against any incorporator or against any past, present, or future owner, partner of an owner or any officer, employee or director thereof or of any successor entity, or any other Person, either directly or through the Issuer, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed that this Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely obligations of the Issuer, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, any other Person under or by reason of this Indenture, any Supplement or any Notes or implied therefrom, or for any claim based thereon or in respect thereof, all such liability and any and all such claims being hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of such Notes. Except as provided in any Supplement, no Person other than the Issuer shall be liable for any obligation of the Issuer under this Indenture or any Note or any losses incurred by any Noteholder.

Such certificate on any Note


 
8 shall be conclusive evidence and the only competent evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. At the written direction of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes. It shall not be necessary that the same signatory of the Indenture Trustee execute the certificate of authentication on each of the Notes. Section 205 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes. (a) The Indenture Trustee shall keep at its Corporate Trust Office books for the registration and transfer of the Notes (the “Note Register”). The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its registrar (the “Note Registrar”) and transfer agent to keep such books and make such registrations and transfers as are hereinafter set forth in this Section 205 and also authorizes and directs the Indenture Trustee to provide a copy of such registration record to the Manager upon its request. The names and addresses of, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) owing to, the Noteholders and all transfers of, and the names and addresses of the transferee of, all Notes will be registered in such Note Register. The Person in whose name any Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and Noteholder thereof for all purposes of this Indenture, and none of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or the Issuer shall be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. (b) Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Note shall be payable on each Payment Date only to the Person that was the Noteholder thereof on the Record Date immediately preceding such Payment Date. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each Note shall be payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee in immediately available funds in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time for payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Note to the contrary, if so requested by the Noteholder by written notice (given at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable Payment Date) to the Indenture Trustee, all amounts payable to such Noteholder may be paid either (i) by crediting the amount to be distributed to such Noteholder to an account maintained by such Noteholder with the Indenture Trustee or by transferring such amount by wire to such other bank in the United States, including a Federal Reserve Bank, as shall have been specified in such notice, for credit to the account of such Noteholder maintained at such bank, or (ii) by mailing a check to such address as such Noteholder shall have specified in such notice, in either case without any presentment or surrender of such Note to the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee (except in the case of final payment). (d) All payments on the Notes shall be paid to the Noteholders by wire transfer of immediately available funds for receipt prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Payment Date. Any such payments received by the Noteholders after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any day shall be considered to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if the Issuer has deposited the required funds with the Indenture Trustee by close of business one (1) Business Day prior to the Payment Date, then the Issuer shall be deemed to have made such payment at the time so required on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Note to the contrary, if so requested by the registered Noteholder by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, all amounts payable to such registered Noteholder may be paid by mailing a check to such address as such Noteholder shall have specified in such notice,


 
9 in either case without any presentment or surrender of such Note to the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee (except in the case of final payment). (e) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee, upon written request, shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Series and Class, of any authorized denominations and of like aggregate original principal amount. (f) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture and the relevant Supplement, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. (g) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee duly executed, by the Noteholder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. (h) Any service charge, fees or expenses made or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee for any such registration of transfer or exchange referred to in this Section 205 shall be paid by the applicable Noteholder. The Indenture Trustee or the Issuer may require payment by the applicable Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. (i) Unless otherwise specified in the related Supplement, no transfer of any Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer of any Definitive Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance thereof or a transfer thereof by the Depositary or one of its Affiliates), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) an Investment Letter signed by such Noteholder and such Noteholder’s prospective transferee; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof or of the Depositary, the Manager, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer or such Noteholder’s prospective transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based. If such a transfer of any interest in a Global Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, the transferor will be deemed to have made each of the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit A hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Note and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the representations and warranties set forth in either Exhibit A hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Note. None of the Depositary, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities


 
10 law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein without such registration or qualification. Any Noteholder or Note Owner desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositary, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if any transfer made in accordance with the preceding sentence did in fact require registration under the Securities Act. (j) If Notes are issued or exchanged in definitive form under Section 202, such Notes will not be registered by the Indenture Trustee unless each prospective initial Noteholder acquiring a Note, each prospective transferee acquiring a Note and each prospective owner (or transferee thereof) of a beneficial interest in Notes (each, a “Prospective Owner”) acquiring such beneficial interest provides the Manager, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any successor Manager with a written representation to the effect set forth in either subsection (i) or (ii) of the second sentence of Section 208. (k) No sale, assignment or other transfer of a Note shall be effective or deemed effective if such sale, assignment or other transfer is to a Competitor (as determined by the Issuer). Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer is under any obligation to register the Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to bear any expense with respect to such registration by any other Person or monitor compliance of any transfer with the securities laws of the United States regulations promulgated in connection thereto or ERISA. (l) Any Note for which an Opinion of Counsel has not been rendered to the Issuer to the effect that such Note will constitute debt for United States federal income tax purposes (a “Subject Note”) shall be subject to the limitations of this Section 205(l). No Subject Notes may be transferred, and no transfer (or purported transfer) of all or any part of a Subject Note (or any direct or indirect economic or beneficial interest therein) (a “Transferred Note”) whether to another Noteholder or to a Person that is not a Noteholder (a “Transferee”), shall be effective, and to the greatest extent permitted under Applicable Law any such transfer (or purported transfer) shall be void ab initio, and no Person shall otherwise become a Holder of a Subject Note, except, in each case, for Subject Notes transferred to Affiliates of the Issuer, unless: (i) the Transferee provides the Note Registrar with its representations and warranties made for the benefit of the Issuer to the effect that: (A) either (I) it is not and will not become for U.S. federal income tax purposes a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust (each such entity a “flow- through entity”) or (II) if it is or becomes a flow-through entity, then (x) none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in the Transferee have or ever will have all or substantially all the value of its interest in the Transferee attributable to the interest of the Transferee in any Transferred Note, any other Notes, other interest (direct or indirect) in the Issuer, or any interest created under this Indenture or (y) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the investment of the Transferee in any Transferred Note to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations necessary for such partnership not to be classified as a publicly traded partnership under the Code, (B) the Transferee will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any participating interest in any Note or any financial instrument or contract the value of which is determined by reference in whole or in part to any Note, and (C) it is not acquiring and will not sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Transferred Note(s) (or interest therein) or cause any Transferred Note(s) (or interest therein) to be marketed on or through


 
11 an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, including, without limitation, an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations, and (ii) after such transfer there would be no more than 90 members of the limited liability company that is the Issuer (including as members, solely for purposes of this Section 205(l), Holders of any Subject Notes and any other instruments subject to the transfer restrictions of this Section 205(l)). The Issuer shall not recognize any prohibited Transfer described in this paragraph either (i) by redeeming the transferor’s interest, or (ii) by admitting the Transferee as such a Holder or otherwise recognizing any right of the Transferee (including, without limitation, any right of the Transferee to receive payments or other distributions from the Issuer, directly or indirectly). Section 206 Mutilated Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. (a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as it and the Issuer may require to hold the Issuer, the Manager and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Series and Class and maturity and of like terms as the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become, or within seven days shall be, due and payable, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable instead of issuing a replacement Note. (b) If, after the delivery of such replacement Note, or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (as defined in the UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued (or such payment was made) presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any and all loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith. (c) The Indenture Trustee and the Issuer may, for each new Note authenticated and delivered under the provisions of this Section 206, require the advance payment by the Noteholder of the expenses, including counsel fees, service charges and any tax or governmental charge that may be incurred by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in connection therewith. Any Note issued under the provisions of this Section 206 in lieu of any Note alleged to be destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen, shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of this Indenture with all other Notes of the same Series and Class. The provisions of this Section 206 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. Section 207 Delivery, Retention and Cancellation of Notes. Each Noteholder is required, and hereby agrees, to return to the Indenture Trustee, such return to be completed prior to the receipt of such payment, any Note on which the final payment due thereon is to be made. Any such Note as to which the Indenture Trustee has made or holds the final payment thereon shall be deemed canceled, and shall no longer be Outstanding for any purpose of this Indenture, whether


 
12 or not such Note is ever returned to the Indenture Trustee. Matured Notes delivered prior to final payment to the Indenture Trustee and any Notes transferred or exchanged for other Notes shall be canceled and disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its policy of disposal and the Indenture Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Issuer such canceled Notes. If the Indenture Trustee shall acquire, for its own account, any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes. Notes which have been canceled by the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed paid and discharged for all purposes under this Indenture. Section 208 ERISA Deemed Representations. Each prospective initial Noteholder and each Prospective Owner of a Note will be deemed to have represented and warranted by such purchase that either (i) it is not acquiring and will not hold the Notes with the plan assets of a Benefit Plan or any other plan that is subject to Similar Law; or (ii) (a) the Notes are rated investment grade or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating agency at the time of purchase or transfer and have not been characterized as other than indebtedness for applicable local law purposes and (b) the acquisition, holding and disposition of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of Similar Law. ARTICLE III PAYMENT OF NOTES; STATEMENTS TO NOTEHOLDERS Section 301 Principal and Interest. Distributions of principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Series or Class of Notes shall be made to Noteholders of each Series and Class as set forth in the related Supplement.

(a) The Issuer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make (or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make) principal payments on any Series of Notes and payments of other Outstanding Obligations from some or all of (i) amounts available for such purpose pursuant to the terms of an applicable Supplement, (ii) proceeds of the issuance of any Series of Notes and (iii) other funds held by the Issuer not constituting Series-Specific Collateral for another Series. Without limiting the foregoing, at the direction and in the sole discretion of the Issuer, amounts and proceeds contemplated by the preceding sentence may be included in distributions in respect of principal payments on the Notes of one or more Series and payments of other Outstanding Obligations. Section 302 Investment of Monies Held in each Revenue Reserve Account, each Restricted Cash Account, and each Other Series Account; Control over Eligible Investments. (a) The Indenture Trustee shall invest any cash deposited in each Revenue Reserve Account, each Restricted Cash Account, and each other Series Account in such Eligible Investments as the Issuer shall direct in writing. Each Eligible Investment (including reinvestment of the income and proceeds of Eligible Investments) shall be held to its maturity and shall mature


 
13 or shall be payable on demand not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding Payment Date. If the Indenture Trustee has not received written instructions from the Issuer by 2:30 p.m. (New York time) on the day such funds are received as to the investment of funds then on deposit in any of the aforementioned accounts, the Issuer hereby instructs the Indenture Trustee to invest such funds in overnight investments of the type described in clause (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments. Absent the availability of such investment, the funds shall remain uninvested pending receipt of such instructions or such availability. Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and subject to the terms of the Control Agreements. Any earnings on Eligible Investments in each Revenue Reserve Account, each Restricted Cash Account and each other Series Account for such Series shall be retained in each such account and be distributed in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or any related Supplement. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for losses on any investments made by it pursuant to this Section 302 including without limitation, any loss of principal or interest or for any breakage fees or penalties in connection with the purchase of liquidation of any investment made in accordance with the instructions of the Issuer. The Issuer acknowledges that upon its written request and at no additional cost, it has the right to receive notification after the completion of each purchase and sale of Eligible Investments or the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of a broker’s confirmation. The Issuer agrees that such notifications shall not be provided by the Indenture Trustee hereunder except in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and the Indenture Trustee shall make available, upon request and in lieu of notifications, periodic account statements that reflect such investment activity. No statement need be made available for any fund/account if no activity has occurred in such fund/account during such period. (b) Each of the Issuer, Indenture Trustee and the Securities Intermediary shall enter into control agreements (each a “Control Agreement”, collectively, the “Control Agreements”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto on or prior to the Issuance Date of each Series of Notes, for the Revenue Reserve Account, the Restricted Cash Account and each other Series Account for such Series. At all times on and after the Closing Date, each such account shall be the subject of a Control Agreement. (c) For each Outstanding Series, each Restricted Cash Account, Revenue Reserve Account and each other Series Account for such Series shall, to the extent provided in a Supplement, be established with the Indenture Trustee in the name of the Issuer and, so long as any applicable Outstanding Obligation remains unpaid, shall be maintained with the Indenture Trustee so long as (A) the short-term unsecured debt obligations of the financial institution fulfilling the role of the Indenture Trustee are rated not less than the Required Deposit Rating, or (B) such accounts are maintained at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee.

(f) The Issuer shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in any Revenue Reserve Account, any Restricted Cash Account or any other Series Account unless the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in such account and any funds or investments held therein shall continue to be perfected without any further action by any Person. Section 303 Reports to Noteholders.

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall not exercise the power of attorney or any rights granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 403 unless a Series-Specific Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing. The Issuer hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all actions that said attorney shall lawfully do, or cause to be done, by virtue hereof. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 403 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all Series of Notes are paid and performed in full. (c) The powers conferred on the Indenture Trustee hereunder are solely to protect the Indenture Trustee’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers except as set forth herein. The Indenture Trustee shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the Issuer for any act or failure to act, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence or, with respect to any matter relating to the receipt, custody or distribution of funds or securities actually received by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Fund Control Matters”), negligence .

The reasonable and documented expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses, of the Indenture Trustee incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, shall be payable by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee on demand and shall constitute additional Outstanding Obligations secured hereby and shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Supplements or Section 806 hereof.

The Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Control Party for such Series , shall deliver to the Manager (with a copy to the Transition Agent and each Rating Agency) a Manager Termination Notice terminating the Manager of its responsibilities with respect to such Series in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Back-up Manager Event, the Transition Agent (acting at the written direction of the Requisite Global Majority) shall solicit bids for a Back-up Manager pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Management Agreement. If a Back-up Manager shall not have assumed the duties of the Manager as a replacement Manager pursuant to a Back-up Management Agreement, or the Control Party for the applicable Series is unable to locate and qualify a replacement Manager acceptable to such Control Party, in either case within sixty (60) days after the date of delivery of the Manager Termination Notice, then the Indenture Trustee may (and shall, upon the direction of such Control Party) appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a company acceptable to such Control Party, having a net worth of not less than $5,000,000 and whose regular business includes equipment leasing or servicing, as the successor to the Manager of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Manager with respect to such Series under the Management Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(b) If a Manager Termination Notice has been delivered with respect to a Series in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may and shall, if directed in writing by the Control Party for such Series, after first notifying the Issuer of its intention to do so, notify Account Debtors of the Issuer (and the Issuer hereby agrees to provide the Indenture Trustee all commercially reasonable information to identify and locate such Account Debtors), parties to the Contracts of the Issuer, obligors in respect of Instruments of the Issuer and obligors in respect of Chattel Paper of the Issuer that the Accounts and the right, title and interest of the Issuer in and under such Contracts, Instruments, and Chattel Paper (to the extent related to the Managed Containers) have been pledged to Indenture Trustee and that payments shall be made directly to the Indenture Trustee or the applicable Series Account for such Series; provided that a replacement Manager appointed pursuant to this Section 404 shall unless otherwise directed by the Control Party for such Series exercise all of the foregoing rights, and that pending appointment of such replacement Manager, the then current Manager shall, unless otherwise directed by the Control Party for such Series, be permitted to exercise such rights until the replacement Manager assumes the responsibility of the Manager.

(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the applicable Control Party, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: (A) all of the installments of interest and, if the Legal Final Maturity Date has occurred with respect to such Series, principal of all Notes of such Series, in each case to the extent such amounts were overdue prior to the date of such acceleration; (B) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest at the applicable rate on the amounts set forth in clause (A) above; and (C) all unpaid Indenture Trustee Fees, indemnified amounts and sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder or by the Manager and the reasonable and documented compensation, out-of-pocket expenses, indemnities, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Indenture, in each case allocable to such Series; and (ii) all Events of Default for such Series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of or interest on Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 813 hereof. No such rescission with respect to any Series-Specific Event of Default shall affect any subsequent Series-Specific Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Section 803 Collection of Indebtedness. The Issuer covenants that, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and a declaration of acceleration has been made under Section 802 and not rescinded, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the applicable Noteholders), pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders of the affected Series, an amount equal to the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes of such Series that have been accelerated for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable interest rate payable with respect to each such Note and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all other outstanding obligations owing to such accelerated Series of Notes, the costs and out-of-pocket expenses of collection, including the reasonable and documented compensation, expenses, indemnities, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, the applicable Control Party, their respective agents and counsel incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Indenture.

(a) If a Series-Specific Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, by such officer or agent as it may appoint, shall notify each applicable Noteholder, the Transition Agent and the applicable Rating Agencies, if any, of such Series-Specific Event of Default. So long as an Event of Default is continuing or at any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made, the Indenture Trustee shall if instructed by the applicable Control Party: (i) institute any Proceedings, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, for the collection of all amounts then due and payable on the Notes of the applicable Series under this Indenture or the related Supplement with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the related Series-Specific Collateral and any other assets of the Issuer related thereto any monies adjudged due; (ii) subject to the quiet enjoyment rights of any lessee of a Managed Container in the related Series-Specific Container Pool, sell (including any sale made in accordance with Section 816 hereof), hold or lease the related Series-Specific Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private transactions conducted in any manner permitted by law; (iii) institute any Proceedings from time to time for the foreclosure of the Lien created by this Indenture with respect to Shared Collateral allocable to the related Series or by a Supplement with respect to the related Series-Specific Collateral; (iv) institute such other appropriate Proceedings to protect and enforce any other rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy; (v) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or any applicable law and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders hereunder; and (vi) appoint a receiver or a manager over the Issuer or its assets.

Section 805 Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. (a) In all Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all of the applicable Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.


 
28 (b) All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, the related Supplement or any of the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of such Notes or the production thereof in any Proceeding relating thereto, and any such Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery whether by judgment, settlement or otherwise shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements incurred and advances made, by the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders, subject to the subordination of payments among Classes of a particular Series as set forth in the related Supplement for such Series. Section 806 Allocation of Money Collected. If the Notes of any Series have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded or annulled, any money collected by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article or otherwise and any other monies that may be held or thereafter received by the Indenture Trustee as security for such Notes and the obligations secured hereby shall be allocated to such Series of Notes. Section 807 Limitation on Suits.

Section 808 Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal, Interest and Commitment Fees. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Noteholder shall


 
29 have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, interest on and commitment fees in respect of such Note as such principal, interest and commitment fees become due and payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the related Supplement and to institute any Proceeding for the enforcement of such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder. Section 809 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or the related Supplement and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the applicable Noteholders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted. Section 810 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture or any Supplement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Section 811 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or of any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Series-Specific Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Series- Specific Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be. Section 812 Control by Control Party. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Series-Specific Event of Default, the related Control Party shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, provided that (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 804 hereof and (ii) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

(b) Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Section 814 Undertaking for Costs.

31 Section 816 Sale of Collateral. (a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 804 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the applicable Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all of such Collateral shall have been sold or all Outstanding Obligations with respect to the related Series shall have been paid in full. The Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the applicable Control Party, may from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale.

No purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies. Section 817 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture or any Supplement shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture or any Supplement.

32 in this Indenture and the related Supplement and no implied duties shall be inferred against it. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the applicable Control Party, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and the related Supplement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

No provision of this Indenture or any Supplement shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that: (i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the cure or waiver of any Event of Default that may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and any Supplements issued pursuant to the terms hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and any Supplements issued pursuant to the terms hereof, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively and exclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates, statements, reports, documents, orders, opinions or other instruments (whether in their original or facsimile form) furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture and any Supplements issued pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for actions taken, or any error of judgment made, in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was grossly negligent or, with respect to Fund Control Matters, negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (iii) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Requisite Global Majority or an applicable Control Party, as applicable relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the


 
33 Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture. No provisions of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 901.

The Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to, and shall not be responsible for, the validity, legality, enforceability or adequacy or sufficiency of this Indenture, any Supplement, the Notes, the Collateral or of any Transaction Document, or as to the correctness of any statement contained in any thereof; provided that this sentence shall not limit the representations and warranties made by the Indenture Trustee in Section 911.

In case at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall resign promptly in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 907 hereof. Section 907 Resignation and Removal of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Manager, the Transition Agent and the Noteholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Indenture Trustee, the Transition Agent and one copy to the successor Indenture Trustee. If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Requisite Global Majority may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee or, if it does not do so within 30 days thereafter, the resigning Indenture Trustee may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee, which successor Indenture Trustee shall meet the eligibility standards set forth in Section 906. If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 906 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer, or if at any time the Indenture Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property shall be appointed,


 
38 or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee and appoint a successor Indenture Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Indenture Trustee. If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after such removal, the Requisite Global Majority may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee or, if it does not do so within 30 days after such resignation or removal, the departing Indenture Trustee may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee, which successor Indenture Trustee shall meet the eligibility standards set forth in Section 906. In addition, the Issuer may, with the consent of the Requisite Global Majority, remove the Indenture Trustee for cause and appoint a successor Indenture Trustee with prior written notice by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Indenture Trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 908 hereof. Section 908 Successor Indenture Trustee. Any successor Indenture Trustee appointed as provided in Section 907 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor Indenture Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Indenture Trustee shall become effective and such successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as the Indenture Trustee herein. The predecessor Indenture Trustee shall upon payment of all charges due it, its agents and counsel deliver to the successor Indenture Trustee all documents relating to the Collateral, if any, delivered to it, together with any amount remaining in each Revenue Reserve Account, each Restricted Cash Account and any other Series Accounts for such Series. In addition, the predecessor Indenture Trustee and, upon request of the successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor Indenture Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Indenture Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 906 hereof and shall be acceptable to the Requisite Global Majority. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Indenture Trustee as provided in this Section, the Issuer shall mail notice of the succession of such Indenture Trustee hereunder to all Noteholders at their addresses as shown in the registration books maintained by the Indenture Trustee. If the Issuer fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee, the successor Indenture Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Issuer.


 
39 Section 909 Merger or Consolidation of the Indenture Trustee. Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 906 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Section 910 Separate Indenture Trustees, Co-Indenture Trustees and Custodians. If the Indenture Trustee is not capable of acting for jurisdictional purposes, it shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more Persons or corporations to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Indenture Trustee, or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any of the Collateral, when such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable under any Applicable Laws or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any applicable jurisdiction. The separate trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees, co- trustees, or custodians for the benefit of all Noteholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability relating to such appointment. The Issuer shall join in any such appointment, but such joining shall not be necessary for the effectiveness of such appointment. Every separate trustee, co-trustee and custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: (i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee; (ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian; (iii) no trustee, co-trustee, separate trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee, co-trustee, separate trustee or custodian hereunder; and (iv) the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian so appointed by it or them if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this Indenture.


 
40 Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be furnished to the Indenture Trustee. Any separate trustee, co-trustees, or custodian may, at any time, constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee or custodian. No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 906 hereof and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment thereof shall be required under Section 908 hereof. The Indenture Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary to fulfill the Indenture Trustee’s obligations hereunder. Section 911 Representations and Warranties. The Indenture Trustee hereby represents and warrants as of each Series Issuance Date of each Series that: (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Indenture Trustee is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States, and has the power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged; (b) Authorization. The Indenture Trustee has the power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Indenture and each Supplement and to authenticate the Notes, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Indenture and each Supplement and the authentication of the Notes has been duly authorized by the Indenture Trustee by all necessary corporate action; (c) Binding Obligations. This Indenture and each Supplement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Issuer, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Indenture Trustee, enforceable against the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its terms, except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws (whether statutory, regulatory or decisional) now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and the rights of trust companies in particular and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable


 
41 relief may be subject to certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any Proceeding therefor may be brought, whether in a Proceeding at law or in equity; (d) No Violation. The performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under this Indenture and each Supplement will not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a default under, the charter documents or bylaws of the Indenture Trustee; (e) No Proceedings. There are no Proceedings or investigations to which the Indenture Trustee is a party pending, or, to the knowledge of the Indenture Trustee without independent investigation, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or Governmental Authority (A) asserting the invalidity of this Indenture or the Notes, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Indenture or the Notes; and (f) Approvals. Neither the execution or delivery by the Indenture Trustee of this Indenture nor the consummation of the transactions by the Indenture Trustee contemplated hereby requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with or the taking of any other action with respect to any Governmental Authority under any existing federal or State of New York or State of Delaware law governing the banking or trust powers of the Indenture Trustee. Section 912 Indenture Trustee Offices. The Indenture Trustee shall maintain in the State of Delaware an office or offices or agency or agencies where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, which office shall initially be located at the Corporate Trust Office, and shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Manager and the Noteholders of any change of such location. Section 913 Notice of Various Events. If a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge that an Event of Default or an Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) give written notice thereof to each affected Noteholder and the Transition Agent. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the absence of actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of any Event of Default or Early Amortization Event unless notified in writing thereof by the Issuer, the Seller, the Manager, the Transition Agent or any Noteholder. Section 914 Notices. Any application by the Indenture Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer may, at the option of the Indenture Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Indenture Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date any officer of the limited liability company manager of the Issuer actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall


 
42 have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Indenture Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. ARTICLE X SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES Section 1001 Supplemental Indentures Not Creating a New Series Without Consent of Noteholders. (a) Without the consent of any Noteholder or any other Person, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee but with prior notice from the Issuer to each Rating Agency, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more Supplements to this Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or for the purposes of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Issuer delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such supplemental indenture will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or (ii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment and the Issuer notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment.

(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

EXHIBIT 4.9 Description of the Registrant’s Securities Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 As of December 31, 2022, Triton International Limited had six classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”): (i) common shares, $0.01 par value per share (ii) 8.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares, $0.01 par value and $25.00 liquidation preference per share (the "Series A Preference Shares"), (iii) 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares, $0.01 par value and $25.00 liquidation preference per share (the "Series B Preference Shares"), (iv) 7.375% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares, $0.01 par value and $25.00 liquidation preference per share (the "Series C Preference Shares"), (v) 6.875% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares, $0.01 par value and $25.00 liquidation preference per share (the "Series D Preference Shares") and (vi) 5.75% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares, $0.01 par value and $25.00 liquidation preference per share (the “Series E Preference Shares” and together with the Series A Preference Shares, the Series B Preference Shares, the Series C Preference Shares and the Series D Preference Shares, the "Preference Shares" and each separately, a "series of Preference Shares"). In this description, the terms “the Company,” “Triton,” “we,” “our” or “us” means Triton International Limited. Description of Capital Stock The following summary description of our common shares and each series of Preference Shares is based on the applicable provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act, our memorandum of association, as amended ("Memorandum of Association"), our amended and restated bye-laws ("Bye-laws"), and the certificate of designations for each series of Preference Shares establishing the rights, limitations and preferences for the respective series of Preference Shares (each, a "Certificate of Designations"). This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bermuda Companies Act, as it may be amended from time to time, and to the terms of our Memorandum of Association, Bye-laws and the Certificates of Designations for the Preference Shares, each of which is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this exhibit 4.9 forms a part. As used in this description, the terms “Triton,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Triton International Limited, a Bermuda exempted company, and do not, unless otherwise specified, include our subsidiaries. Authorized Capital Stock General. As of December 31, 2022, our authorized capital stock consisted of 270,000,000 common shares; 800,000 undesignated shares; 3,450,000 Series A Preference Shares; 5,750,000 Series B Preference Shares; 7,000,000 Series C Preference Shares; 6,000,000 Series D Preference Shares; and 7,000,000 Series E Preference Shares. Common Shares Liquidation and Preemptive Rights In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Triton, the holders of Triton common shares will be entitled to share equally in any of the assets available for distribution after Triton has paid in full all of its debts and after the holders of all series of Triton’s outstanding preferred shares, if any, have received their liquidation preferences in full.


 
Holders of Triton common shares are not entitled to preemptive rights. The common shares are not convertible into shares of any other class of common shares of Triton. Dividend Rights Under Bermuda law, holders of our common shares will be entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by our board of directors out of any funds of the Company legally available for the payment of such dividends, subject to any preferred dividend rights that may exist from time to time. Bermuda law does not permit payment of dividends, or distributions of contributed surplus, by a company if there are reasonable grounds for believing that: • the company is, or would be, after the payment is made, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or • the realizable value of the company’s assets would be less than its liabilities. Under Triton’s Bye-laws, the board of directors has the power to declare dividends or distributions out of contributed surplus, and to determine that any dividend shall be paid in cash or shall be satisfied in paying up in full shares to be issued to the shareholders credited as fully paid or partly paid or partly in one way or partly in the other. The board of directors may also pay any fixed cash dividend whenever the position of the Company justifies such payment. Voting Rights Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred shares, if and when issued and subject to applicable law, each holder of Triton common shares will be entitled to one vote per share and all voting rights will be vested in those holders of record on the applicable record date on all matters voted on by the Triton shareholders. Holders of Triton common shares will have noncumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors to the board can elect 100% of the directors to the board and the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors to the board. Meetings of Shareholders Special general meetings of the shareholders of Triton may be called (i) by the board of directors or (ii) when requisitioned by shareholders pursuant to the provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act. Under the Bermuda Companies Act, the shareholders may requisition a special general meeting, provided they hold at the date of the deposit of the requisition shares representing not less than 10% of the paid-up capital of the company. The requisition must state the purpose of the meeting, and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the registered office of the company. If, within 21 days from the date of the deposit of the requisition, the directors do not proceed to convene a meeting, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than 50% of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a meeting, which must be convened within three months of the date of the deposit of the requisition. Restrictions on Transfers of Shares The board of directors may in its absolute discretion, and without providing a reason, refuse to register the transfer of a share which is not fully paid up. The board of directors may also refuse to register a transfer unless the shares of Triton are (i) listed on an appointed stock exchange (of which the NYSE is one) or (ii) (A) a duly executed instrument of transfer is provided to Triton or Triton’s transfer agent accompanied by the certificate (if any has been issued) in respect of the shares to which it relates and by such other evidence as the board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the


 
transfer, (B) the instrument of transfer is only in respect of one class of shares, (C) the instrument of transfer is in favor of less than five persons jointly, and (D) all applicable consents, authorizations, permissions or approvals of any governmental body or agency in Bermuda or any other applicable jurisdiction have been obtained (if required). If the board of directors refuses to register a transfer of any share, it must send to the transferee notice of the refusal within three months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged with Triton. Shares listed on an appointed stock exchange, such as the NYSE, may be transferred by any means permitted by the rules of such exchange. Election and Removal of Directors Except in the case of vacancies, each director is elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast as the general meeting of shareholders of Triton. The Bye-laws of Triton provide that any vacancies on the board of directors not filled at any general meeting will be deemed casual vacancies and the board of directors, so long as a quorum of directors remains in office, will have the power at any time and from time to time, to appoint any individual to be a director so as to fill a casual vacancy. A director so appointed will hold office only until the next following annual general meeting. If not reappointed at such annual general meeting, the director will vacate office at the conclusion of the annual general meeting. Under the Bermuda Companies Act, a director may be removed from office by the shareholders at a special general meeting called for that purpose. The notice of a meeting convened for the purpose of removing a director must contain a statement of intention to do so and be served on such director not less than 14 days before the meeting. The director subject to removal will be entitled to be heard on the motion for his removal. Amendment of Memorandum of Association Under the Bermuda Companies Act, the memorandum of association of a company may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority resolution of the board of directors, but the amendment will not be operative unless and until it is approved at a subsequent general meeting of the shareholders by a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on such resolution. An amendment to the memorandum of association that alters a company’s business objects may require approval by the Bermuda Minister of Finance, who may grant or withhold approval at his or her discretion. Amendment of Bye-laws Subject to certain exceptions, the Triton Bye-laws may be revoked or amended by the affirmative vote of a majority resolution of the board of directors, but the revocation or amendment will not be operative unless and until it is approved at a subsequent general meeting of the shareholders of Triton by a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on such resolution. Approval of Certain Transactions Amalgamations and Mergers: Under the Bermuda Companies Act, the amalgamation or merger of a Bermuda company with another company (wherever incorporated) (other than certain affiliated companies) requires the amalgamation or merger to be approved by the board of directors and by its shareholders. The Triton Bye-laws provide that a merger or amalgamation must be approved by (i) the


 
affirmative vote of a majority of the board of directors and (ii) the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast at a general meeting of shareholders. For purposes of approval of an amalgamation or merger, all shares, whether or not otherwise entitled to vote, carry the right to vote. Holders of a separate class of shares are entitled to a separate class vote if the rights of such class would be varied by virtue of the amalgamation or merger. Sale of Assets: The Bermuda Companies Act is silent on whether a company’s shareholders are required to approve a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of a company’s property and assets. Bermuda law does require, however, that shareholders approve certain forms of mergers and reconstructions. Takeovers: Bermuda does not have any takeover regulations applicable to shareholders of Bermuda companies. Preference Shares General There are 3,450,000 Series A Preference Shares, 5,750,000 Series B Preference Shares, 7,000,000 Series C Preference Shares, 6,000,000 Series D Preference Shares and 7,000,000 Series E Preference Shares issued and outstanding. We may, without notice to or consent of the holders of the then-outstanding Preference Shares of any series, authorize and issue additional Preference Shares of such series and Junior Securities (as defined below) and, subject to the limitations described under “-Voting Rights,” Senior Securities (as defined below) and Parity Securities (as defined below). The holders of our common shares are entitled to receive, to the extent permitted by law, such dividends as may from time to time be declared by our board of directors; however, no dividend may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Junior Securities including our common shares (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of Junior Securities) unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are being paid or provided for on all outstanding Preference Shares and any Parity Securities through the most recent respective Dividend Payment Dates. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of our common shares are entitled to receive distributions of our assets, after we have satisfied or made provision for our debts and other obligations and for payment to the holders of shares of any class or series of capital stock (including the Preference Shares) having preferential rights to receive distributions of our assets. The Preference Shares of each series entitle the holders thereof to receive cumulative cash dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds for such purpose. Each Preference Share has a fixed liquidation preference of $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for payment, whether or not declared. See “-Liquidation Rights.” The Preference Shares represent perpetual equity interests in us and, unlike our indebtedness, do not give rise to a claim for payment of a principal amount at a particular date. As such, the Preference Shares rank junior to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against us. Except as described below under “-Change of Control-Conversion Right Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event,” the Preference Shares are not convertible into common shares or other of our securities and will not have exchange rights or be entitled or subject to any preemptive or similar rights. The Preference Shares


 
will not be subject to mandatory redemption or to any sinking fund requirements. The Preference Shares will be subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at our option at any time on or after March 15, 2024 in the case of the Series A Preference Shares, September 15, 2024 in the case of the Series B Preference Shares, December 15, 2024 in the case of the Series C Preference Shares, March 15, 2025 in the case of the Series D Preference Shares and September 15, 2026 or in connection with a Rating Agency Event (as defined herein) in the case of the Series E Preference Shares. See “- Redemption.” We have appointed Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), and the registrar and transfer agent (the “Registrar and Transfer Agent”) for the Preference Shares. The address of the Paying Agent is PO Box 505000, Louisville, KY 40233. Ranking Each series of Preference Shares will, with respect to anticipated quarterly dividends and distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and dissolution of our affairs, rank: • senior to our common shares and to each other class or series of capital stock established after the original issue date of such series of Preference Shares that is not expressly made senior to, or on parity with, such series of Preference Shares as to the payment of dividends and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary (“Junior Securities”); • on a parity with the other series of Preference Shares and any other class or series of capital stock established after the original issue date of such series of Preference Shares that is expressly made equal to such series of Preference Shares as to the payment of dividends and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary (“Parity Securities”); and • junior to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against us and junior to each class or series of capital stock expressly made senior to such series of Preference Shares as to the payment of dividends and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary (such classes or series of capital stock referred to herein as (“Senior Securities).” We may issue Junior Securities from time to time in one or more series without the consent of the holders of any series of Preference Shares. We may also issue any Parity Securities as long as the cumulative dividends on the Preference Shares are not in arrears. Our board of directors has the authority to determine the preferences, powers, qualifications, limitations, restrictions and special or relative rights or privileges, if any, of any such series before the issuance of any shares of that series. Our board of directors will also determine the number of shares constituting each series of securities. Our ability to issue Senior Securities is limited as described under “-Voting Rights.” Liquidation Rights The holders of Preference Shares will be entitled, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, to receive the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share in cash plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for payment of such amount (whether or not declared), and no more, before any distribution will be made to the holders of our common shares or any other Junior Securities. A consolidation or merger of us with or into any other entity, individually or in a series of transactions, will not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs for this purpose. In the event that our assets available for distribution to holders of the Preference Shares and any other Parity Securities are insufficient to permit payment of all required amounts, our assets then remaining will be distributed among the Preference Shares and any Parity Securities, as applicable, ratably on the basis of their relative aggregate liquidation preferences. After payment of all required amounts to the holders of the outstanding Preference Shares and other Parity Securities, our remaining assets and


 
funds will be distributed among the holders of the common shares and any other Junior Securities then outstanding according to their respective rights. Voting Rights Each series of Preference Shares will have no voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise provided by Bermuda law. In the event that dividends payable on the Preference Shares of any series are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, holders of the Preference Shares of such series (voting together as a class with the other series of Preference Shares and all other classes or series of Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) will be entitled to elect two additional directors to serve on our board of directors, and the size of our board of directors will be increased as needed to accommodate such change (unless the size of our board of directors has already been increased by reason of the election of directors by holders of Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and with which such series of A Preference Shares voted as a class for the election of such directors). Dividends payable on the Preference Shares of any series will be considered to be in arrears for any quarterly period for which full cumulative dividends through the most recent Dividend Payment Date have not been paid on all outstanding Preference Shares of such series. The right of such holders of Preference Shares of any series to elect two members of our board of directors will continue until such time as there are no accumulated and unpaid dividends in arrears on such series of Preference Shares, at which time such right will terminate, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent failure to pay six quarterly dividends as described above. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of Preference Shares of any series and any other Parity Securities to vote as a class for such directors, the term of office of such directors then in office elected by such holders voting as a class will terminate immediately. Any directors elected by the holders of the Preference Shares of any series and any other Parity Securities shall each be entitled to one vote on any matter before our board of directors. Subject to the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended, none of the special rights attached to the Preference Shares of any series may be altered or abrogated by any amendment to the Company’s Bye-laws or the Certificate of Designations for such series of Preference Shares without (i) the consent in writing of the holders of not less than seventy- five percent (75%) of the issued and outstanding Preference Shares of such series, voting as a single class or (ii) the sanction of a resolution passed, (A) in the case of the issued and outstanding Series E Preference Shares, at a separate general meeting of the holders of the Series E Preference Shares voting in person or by proxy, and (B) in the case of all other issued and outstanding Preference Shares, by not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the issued and outstanding Preference Shares of such series, voting as a single class, at a separate general meeting of the holders of Preference Shares of such series voting in person or by proxy. In addition, unless we have received the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Preference Shares of any series, voting as a class together with holders of any other Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, we may not: • issue any Parity Securities if the cumulative dividends payable on outstanding Preference Shares of such series are in arrears; or • create or issue any Senior Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, we do not need to obtain the affirmative vote or consent of holders of any shares of Preference Shares to issue any debt securities, or incur any other indebtedness or other liabilities. On any matter described above in which the holders of the Preference Shares of any series are entitled to vote as a class, such holders will be entitled to one vote per share. Any Preference Shares held by us or any of our subsidiaries or affiliates will not be entitled to vote.


 
Preference Shares held in nominee or street name account will be voted by the broker or other nominee in accordance with the instruction of the beneficial owner unless the arrangement between the beneficial owner and his nominee provides otherwise. Dividends Dividend Rate Holders of Preference Shares of each series will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by our board of directors or any authorized committee thereof, out of legally available funds for such purpose, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of (i) 8.50% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share, or $2.1250 per share per year, (ii) 8.00% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share, or $2.00 per share per year, (iii) 7.375% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share, or $1.84375 per share per year, (iv) 6.875% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share, or $1.71875 per share per year and (v) 5.75% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share, or $1.4375 per share per year, in each case, payable on each Dividend Payment Date. Dividend Payment Dates The “Dividend Payment Dates” for each series of Preference Shares will be the 15th day of each March, June, September and December. Dividends for each series of Preference Shares will accumulate in each dividend period from and including the preceding Dividend Payment Date or the initial issue date, as the case may be, to but excluding the applicable Dividend Payment Date for such dividend period. In the case of the Series A Preference Shares and the Series B Preference Shares, dividends will accrue on accumulated dividends not paid on any Dividend Payment Date at the applicable dividend rate. Dividends on the Preference Shares will be payable based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional dividends or other sums will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Dividend Payment Date to that next succeeding Business Day. “Business Day” means any day on which the NYSE is open for trading and which is not a Saturday, a Sunday or other day on which banks in New York City or Bermuda are authorized or required by law to close. Payment of Dividends On each Dividend Payment Date, we will pay those dividends, if any, on the Preference Shares of each series that have been declared by our board of directors to the holders of such shares as such holders’ names appear on our stock transfer books maintained by the Registrar and Transfer Agent on the applicable Record Date. The applicable record date (or Record Date) will be the close of business, New York City time, on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date, except that in the case of payments of dividends in arrears, the Record Date with respect to a Dividend Payment Date will be such date and time as may be designated by our board of directors. No dividend may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Junior Securities (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of Junior Securities) unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are being paid or provided for on all outstanding Preference Shares and any Parity Securities through the most recent respective dividend payment dates. Accumulated dividends in arrears for any past dividend period for any series of Preference Shares may be declared by our board of directors and paid on any date fixed by our board of directors, whether or not a Dividend Payment Date, to holders of the Preference Shares of such series on the record date for such payment, which may not be more than 60 days,


 
nor less than 15 days, before such payment date. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, if all accumulated dividends in arrears on all outstanding Preference Shares and any Parity Securities have not been declared and paid, or sufficient funds for the payment thereof have not been set apart, payment of accumulated dividends in arrears will be made in order of their respective dividend payment dates, commencing with the earliest. If less than all dividends payable with respect to all Preference Shares and any Parity Securities are paid, any partial payment will be made pro rata with respect to the Preference Shares of each series and any Parity Securities entitled to a dividend payment at such time in proportion to the aggregate amounts remaining due in respect of such shares at such time. Holders of the Preference Shares will not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends. Except insofar as dividends accrue on the amount of any accumulated and unpaid dividends as described under “-Dividends-Dividend Rate” with respect to the Series A Preference Shares and the Series B Preference Shares, no interest or sum of money in lieu of interest will be payable in respect of any dividend payment which may be in arrears on the Preference Shares. Change of Control Optional Redemption Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below), we may, at our option, redeem the Preference Shares of any series in whole or in part within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control Triggering Event occurred (the “Change of Control Redemption Period”), by paying the liquidation preference of $25.00 per Preference Share of each such series, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on each such series of Preference Shares to, but not including, the redemption date, whether or not declared. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined below), we exercise our right to redeem the Preference Shares of any series as described in the immediately preceding sentence or as described below under “-Redemption,” holders of the Preference Shares of such series we have elected to redeem will not have the conversion right described below under “-Conversion Right Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.” Any cash payment to holders of Preference Shares of any series will be subject to the limitations contained in any agreements governing our indebtedness. “Change of Control” means the occurrence of either of the following after the original issue date of the Preference Shares of each series: • the direct or indirect lease, sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger, consolidation or business combination), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of us and our subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act); or • the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation or business combination), the result of which is that any person (as defined above), becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting interests of us, measured by voting power rather than percentage of interests. “Change of Control Triggering Event” means, with respect to each series of Preference Shares, the occurrence of a Change of Control that is accompanied or followed by either a downgrade by one or more gradations (including both gradations within ratings categories and between ratings categories) or a withdrawal of the rating of such series of Preference Shares within the Ratings Decline Period (in any combination) by the Named Rating Agency (as defined below) then rating such series of Preference Shares, as a result of which the rating of such series of Preference Shares on any day during the Ratings Decline Period is withdrawn or is below the rating by such Named Rating Agency in effect immediately preceding the first public


 
announcement of the Change of Control (or occurrence thereof if such Change of Control occurs prior to public announcement). “Named Rating Agency” means with respect to each series of Preference Shares: 1. S&P; and 2. if S&P ceases to rate such series of Preference Shares or fails to rate such series of Preference Shares, as the case may be, for reasons outside of our control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as defined in Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act selected by us as a replacement agency for S&P. “Ratings Decline Period” means the period that (i) begins on the occurrence of a Change of Control and (ii) ends 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control. “S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. Conversion Right Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each holder of Preference Shares of each series will have the right (unless we have provided notice of our election to redeem Preference Shares of such series as described above under “-Optional Redemption upon a Change of Control Triggering Event” or below under “-Redemption”) to convert some or all of the Preference Shares of such series held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of our common shares per Preference Share of such series to be converted equal (the “Common Share Conversion Consideration”) to the lesser of: • the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accumulated and unpaid dividends on such series of Preference Shares to, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a record date for the Preference Share dividend payment and prior to the corresponding Preference Share dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accumulated and unpaid dividend will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Share Price (as defined below), and • (i) 1.53657 in the case of the Series A Preference Shares, (ii) 1.58178 in the case of the Series B Preference Shares, (iii) 1.35685 in the case of the Series C Preference Shares, (iv) 1.26968 in the case of the Series D Preference Shares and (v) 0.93668 in the case of the Series E Preference Shares, subject, in each case, to certain adjustments and to provisions for (i) the payment of any Alternative Conversion Consideration (as defined below) and (ii) splits, combinations and dividends in the form of equity issuances. In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to which our common shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof), a holder of Preference Shares of any series electing to exercise its Change of Control Conversion Right (as defined below) will receive upon conversion of such Preference Shares elected by such holder the kind and amount of such consideration that such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such holder held a number of our common shares equal to the Common Share Conversion Consideration for such Preference Shares immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control, which we refer to as the “Alternative Conversion Consideration”; provided, however, that if the holders of our common shares have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the Change of Control, the consideration that the holders of Preference Shares of any series electing to exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right will receive will be the form and proportion of the aggregate consideration elected by the holders of our common shares who participate in the determination (based on the weighted average of elections) and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of our common shares are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in the Change of Control. We will not issue


 
fractional common shares upon the conversion of the Preference Shares of any series. Instead, we will pay the cash value of such fractional shares. If we provide a redemption notice, whether pursuant to our special optional redemption right in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event as described under “-Optional Redemption upon a Change of Control Triggering Event” or our optional redemption rights as described below under “-Redemption,” holders of Preference Shares of any series will not have any right to convert the Preference Shares of such series that we have elected to redeem and any Preference Shares of such series subsequently selected for redemption that have been tendered for conversion pursuant to the Change of Control Conversion Right will be redeemed on the related redemption date instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date. Within five days following the expiration of the Change of Control Redemption Period (or, if we waive our right to redeem the Preference Shares of any series prior to the expiration of the Change of Control Redemption Period, within five days following the date of such waiver), we will provide to the holders of the Preference Shares of each series written notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control Triggering Event that describes the resulting Change of Control Conversion Right. This notice will state the following: • the events constituting the Change of Control Triggering Event; • the date of the Change of Control Triggering Event; • the date on which the Change of Control Redemption Period expired or was waived; • the last date on which the holders of Preference Shares may exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right; • the method and period for calculating the Common Share Price; • the Change of Control Conversion Date; • if applicable, the type and amount of Alternative Conversion Consideration entitled to be received per Preference Share of each series; and • the procedure that the holders of Preference Shares must follow to exercise the Change of Control Conversion Right. We will issue a press release for publication through a news or press organization as is reasonably expected to broadly disseminate the relevant information to the public, or post notice on our website, in any event prior to the opening of business on the first Business Day following any date on which we provide the notice described above to the holders of the Preference Shares. Holders of Preference Shares that choose to exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right will be required prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Conversion Date, to notify us of the number of Preference Shares to be converted and otherwise to comply with any applicable procedures contained in the notice described above or otherwise required by the Securities Depositary for effecting the conversion. “Change of Control Conversion Right” means the right of a holder of Preference Shares of any series to convert some or all of the Preference Shares of such series held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of our common shares per Preference Share of such series pursuant to the conversion provisions in the Certificate of Designation with respect to such series of Preference Shares. “Change of Control Conversion Date” means the date fixed by the board of directors, in its sole discretion, as the date the Preference Shares are to be converted, which will be a Business Day that is no fewer than 20 days nor more than 35 days after the date on which we provide the notice described above to holders of the Preference Shares.


 
“Common Share Price” means (i) the amount of cash consideration per common share, if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of our common shares is solely cash; and (ii) the average of the closing prices for our common shares on the NYSE for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date, if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of our common shares is other than solely cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of Preference Shares of each series will not have a conversion right upon a Change of Control if (i) the acquiror has shares listed or quoted on the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ, and (ii) the Preference Shares of such series remain continuously listed or quoted on the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE American or NASDAQ. Redemption Optional Redemption Commencing on (i) March 15, 2024 in the case of the Series A Preference Shares, (i) September 15, 2024 in the case of the Series B Preference Shares, (iii) December 15, 2024 in the case of the Series C Preference Shares, (iv) March 15, 2025 in the case of the Series D Preference Shares and (v) September 15, 2026 in the case of the Series E Preference Shares, we may redeem, at our option, in whole or in part, the Preference Shares of any series at a redemption price in cash equal to $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption, whether or not declared. Any such optional redemption shall be effected only out of funds legally available for such purpose. We may undertake multiple partial redemptions. We may also redeem the Preference Shares of any series under the terms set forth under “-Change of Control-Optional Redemption Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.” Optional Redemption Following a Rating Agency Event We may, at our option, redeem the Series E Preference Shares in whole but not in part, at any time within 120 days after the conclusion of any review or appeal process instituted by us following the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event, or, if no review or appeal process is available or sought with respect to such Rating Agency Event, at any time within 120 days after the occurrence of such Rating Agency Event, at a redemption price in cash equal to $25.50 per share, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, whether or not declared. A “Rating Agency Event” means that any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act that then publishes a rating for us amends, clarifies or changes the methodology or criteria that it employed for purposes of assigning equity credit to securities such as the Series E Preference Shares on the original issue date of the Series E Preference Shares (the “current methodology”), which amendment, clarification or change either (i) shortens the period of time during which equity credit pertaining to the Series E Preference Shares would have been in effect had the current methodology not been changed or (ii) reduces the amount of equity credit assigned to the Series E Preference Shares as compared with the amount of equity credit that such rating agency had assigned to the Series E Preference Shares as of the original issue date. We may also redeem the Series E Preference Shares under the terms set forth under “—Change of Control—Optional Redemption Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.” Redemption Procedures We will give notice of any redemption by mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the scheduled date of redemption, to the holders of any shares to be redeemed as such holders’ names appear on our share transfer books maintained by the Registrar and Transfer Agent at the address of such holders shown therein. Such notice


 
shall state: (1) the redemption date, (2) the number of Preference Shares of the applicable series to be redeemed and, if less than all issued and outstanding Preference Shares of the applicable series are to be redeemed, the number (and the identification) of shares to be redeemed from such holder, (3) the redemption price, (4) the place where the Preference Shares of the applicable series are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the redemption price therefor and (5) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate from and after such redemption date. If fewer than all of the issued and outstanding Preference Shares of any series are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed will be determined by us, and such shares will be redeemed by such method of selection as the Securities Depository shall determine, pro rata or by lot, with adjustments to avoid redemption of fractional shares. So long as all Preference Shares of any series are held of record by the nominee of the Securities Depository, we will give notice, or cause notice to be given, to the Securities Depository of the number of Preference Shares of such series to be redeemed, and the Securities Depository will determine the number of Preference Shares of such series to be redeemed from the account of each of its participants holding such shares in its participant account. Thereafter, each participant will select the number of shares to be redeemed from each beneficial owner for whom it acts (including the participant, to the extent it holds Preference Shares of such series for its own account). A participant may determine to redeem Preference Shares of the applicable series from some beneficial owners (including the participant itself) without redeeming Preference Shares of such series from the accounts of other beneficial owners. If we give or cause to be given a notice of redemption for any series of Preference Shares, then we will deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the Preference Shares of such series as to which notice has been given by the close of business, New York City time, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption, and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to, pay the redemption price to the holder or holders thereof upon surrender or deemed surrender (which will occur automatically if the certificate representing such shares is issued in the name of the Securities Depository or its nominee) of the certificates therefor. If notice of redemption shall have been given, unless we default in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the notice, all dividends on such shares will cease to accumulate and all rights of holders of such shares as our shareholders will cease, except the right to receive the redemption price, including an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends through the date fixed for redemption, whether or not declared. We will be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the redemption price of the shares to be redeemed), and the holders of any shares so redeemed will have no claim to any such interest income. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by us for any reason, including, but not limited to, redemption of Preference Shares of any series, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two years after the applicable redemption date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by law, repaid to us upon our written request, after which repayment the holders of the applicable Preference Shares entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to us. If only a portion of the Preference Shares of any series represented by a certificate has been called for redemption, upon surrender of the certificate to the Paying Agent (which will occur automatically if the certificate representing such shares is registered in the name of the Securities Depository or its nominee), the Paying Agent will issue to the holder of such shares a new certificate (or adjust the applicable book-entry account) representing the number of Preference Shares of such series represented by the surrendered certificate that have not been called for redemption. Notwithstanding any notice of redemption, there will be no redemption of any Preference Shares called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full redemption price of such shares, including all accumulated and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption, whether or not declared, have been deposited by us with the Paying Agent. We and our affiliates may from time to time purchase the Preference Shares of any series, subject to compliance with all applicable securities and other laws. Any shares repurchased and cancelled by us will revert to the status of authorized but unissued preference shares, undesignated as to series. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any dividends on the Preference Shares of any series and any Parity Securities are in arrears, we may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, in whole or in part, any Preference Shares or Parity Securities except pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of Preference Shares and any Parity Securities. Common shares and any other Junior Securities may not be redeemed, repurchased or


 
otherwise acquired unless there are no dividends on the Preference Shares of each series and any Parity Securities in arrears. No Sinking Fund The Preference Shares do not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

(b) Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Liabilities or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Agreement or any Liabilities; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Borrower under this Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Borrower. (c) Each Borrower waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Lender or the Administrative Agent) of the liability of any other Borrower; (b) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower’s liability hereunder; (c) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; and (d) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Liabilities have been fully performed, and the Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Borrower expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Liabilities, and all notices of the creation or incurrence of new or additional Liabilities. The obligations of each Borrower hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and a separate action may be brought against such Borrower to enforce its obligations under this Agreement whether or not any other Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party. (d) No Borrower shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Agreement until all of the Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Liabilities are terminated. If any amounts are paid to a Borrower in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such


 
30 amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured. (e) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each other Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the other Borrowers as such Borrower requires, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty, and no Borrower is relying on the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time, to disclose to such Borrower any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower (the Borrower waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same). 1.8 Designation of Lead Borrower as Borrower’s Agent. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to receive notices on behalf of any Borrower, and on a nonexclusive basis, without prohibiting any Borrower to act on its own account, to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to the Administrative Agent and each Lender on account of Loans so made and Letters of Credit so issued as if made directly by the Lenders to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Loans and Letters of Credit are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower. (b) The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a Borrower) on whose behalf the Lead Borrower has requested a Loan. None of the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Issuer shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds. (c) The authority of the Lead Borrower to request Loans and Letters of Credit on behalf of, and to bind, the Borrowers, shall continue unless and until the Administrative Agent actually receives written notice of: (i) the termination of such authority, and (ii) the subsequent appointment of a successor Lead Borrower, which notice is signed by the respective Authorized Officer of each Borrower; and (iii) written notice from such successive Lead Borrower accepting such appointment and acknowledging that from and after the date of such appointment, the newly appointed Lead Borrower shall be bound by the terms hereof, and that as used herein, the term “Lead Borrower” shall mean and include the newly appointed Lead Borrower. SECTION 2. COMMITMENTS OF THE LENDERS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender, severally but not jointly, agrees to make Loans and to participate in Letters of Credit, as described in this Section 2. 2.1 Commitments to Make Loans.


 
31 (1) Each Lender, severally but not jointly, agrees to make revolving loans to each Borrower, which may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time on any Business Day, during the period from the First Amendment Effective Date to the Termination Date, in such amounts as a Borrower may from time to time request. (2) All Loans shall be made by the Lenders on a pro rata basis, calculated for each Lender based on its Percentage. 2.2 Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit. From time to time on any Business Day, each Issuer agrees to issue, and each Lender will participate in, Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 5. 2.3 Loan Options. Each Loan shall be either an Alternate Base Rate Loan or a Term SOFR Loan as shall be selected by the Lead Borrower, except as otherwise provided herein. During any period that any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists, the Lead Borrower shall no longer have the option of electing Term SOFR Loans, and during such period all Loans shall be made as or converted to (on the last day of the Interest Period therefor) Alternate Base Rate Loans only, it being understood, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to waive, amend or modify any right or power of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder, including all rights to terminate the Commitments and declare the Loans immediately due and payable. The maximum number of Borrowings of Term SOFR Loans which the Lead Borrower shall be permitted to have outstanding at any time shall not exceed ten (10). The Lead Borrower shall not have the right to borrow Term SOFR Loans less than two weeks prior to the scheduled Termination Date. 2.4 Borrowing Procedures. (a) Loan Requests. The Lead Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Loan Request; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Request, not later than (i) 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date (or continuation or conversion date, as applicable) in the instance of a Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans, or (ii) 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the requested Funding Date in the instance of a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans, of each requested Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly advise each Lender thereof. Each notice from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent shall specify (i) the requested Funding Date or continuation/conversion date, as applicable, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Borrowing requested (in an amount permitted under Section 2.4(b)), (iii) the Type of Loans being borrowed, continued or converted, as applicable, and (iv) if such Borrowing, continuation or conversion is of Term SOFR Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3 and the definition of Interest Period). Any notice not specifying the Type of Borrowing shall be deemed a request for a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans.


 
32 (b) Amount and Increments of Loans. Each Borrowing shall be made in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 (or, if less, Total Availability) or a higher integral multiple of $500,000. (c) Funding of Administrative Agent. Not later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Funding Date of a Borrowing, each Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (or such other place as the Administrative Agent shall designate from time to time) with immediately available funds covering such Lender’s Percentage of such Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall pay over such funds to the Lead Borrower upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the documents, if any, required under Section 11 with respect to such Loan and provided all of the conditions precedent to the funding of the requested Loans have been satisfied. 2.5 Continuation and/or Conversion of Loans. The Lead Borrower may elect (i) to continue any outstanding Term SOFR Loan from the current Interest Period of such Loan into a subsequent Interest Period to begin on the last day of such current Interest Period, or (ii) to convert any outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Loan or, on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, a Term SOFR Loan into an Alternate Base Rate Loan, by giving the Administrative Agent a notice in the form required by Section 2.4. Absent notice of continuation or conversion, each Term SOFR Loan shall automatically convert into an Alternate Base Rate Loan on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan, unless paid in full on such last day. Each conversion or continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be pro-rated among the applicable outstanding Loans of all Lenders. No portion of the outstanding principal of any Loans shall be converted into Term SOFR Loans and no Term SOFR Loans shall be continued into a subsequent Interest Period, less than two weeks before the scheduled Termination Date or at any time that an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall exist. After giving effect to all Borrowings, conversions, and continuations of Loans, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans. 2.6 Maturity of Loans. Unless required to be sooner paid pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Loans shall mature and be due and payable in full on the scheduled Termination Date. 2.7 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 such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Majority Lenders” and Section 15.2. (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to


 
33 Section 12 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 6.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize such Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 5.8; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 5.8; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuers or as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Disbursements are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.7(a)(iv). 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 2.7(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 4.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and neither Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).


 
34 (B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 5.8. (C) With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (2) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection (iv) below, (y) pay to the applicable Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Credit Extensions of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 15.25, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. (v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in subsection (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable law, Cash Collateralize the Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.8. (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and each Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.7(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of either Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a


 
35 waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. SECTION 3. EVIDENCE OF LOANS. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to each Borrower 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 either Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Liabilities. 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, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note or Notes which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note or Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type and amount of each of its Loans, the Interest Period therefor (if applicable) and payments with respect thereto. (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. 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. SECTION 4. INTEREST AND FEES. 4.1 Interest. Subject to Section 4.2, (a) Alternate Base Rate Loans. The unpaid principal of the Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (ii) the Alternate Base Rate Margin in effect from time to time, payable on each Payment Date and at maturity. (b) Term SOFR Loans. The unpaid principal of Term SOFR Loans shall bear interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) Term SOFR as in effect for each applicable Interest Period plus (ii) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable on each Payment Date and at maturity. 4.2 Default Interest. The Borrowers shall pay interest on any amount of principal of any Loan which is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, after as well as before judgment, accruing from the date such amount shall have become due to the date of payment thereof in full at the Default Rate. While any other Event of Default exists, upon


 
36 the request of the Majority Lenders, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all of their other Liabilities, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. 4.3 Non-use Fee. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages, a fee (the “Non-use Fee”) during the period from the First Amendment Effective Date to the Termination Date in an amount equal to the Non-use Fee Rate per annum in effect from time to time on such Borrower’s daily actual Total Availability, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.7. The Non-use Fee shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Termination Date for any period then ending for which the Non-use Fee shall not have been theretofore paid. 4.4 Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages, a fee for each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit for the account such Borrower to the date upon which such Letter of Credit expires or is otherwise terminated, of (a) in the case of each Commercial Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, 0.75% per annum times the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, and (b) in the case of each Standby Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, the LC Fee Rate per annum in effect from time to time times the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be payable by the Borrowers in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Termination Date (and thereafter on demand) for the period then ending for which such fee shall not theretofore have been paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, 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 applicable Issuer pursuant to Section 5.8 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to such Issuer for its own account. 4.5 Fronting Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the applicable Issuer a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by such Issuer at the times and in the amounts separately agreed to by such Borrower and such Issuer. 4.6 Fees. Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers, for their own respective accounts, such fees as may be mutually agreed upon from time to time by such parties. 4.7 Method of Calculating Interest and Fees. Interest on each Alternate Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on Bank of America’s prime rate and any fees payable under Section 4.3 shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and paid for actual days elapsed, calculated as to each applicable period from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and paid for actual days elapsed, calculated as to each applicable period from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. SECTION 5. LETTERS OF CREDIT.


 
37 5.1 Issuance Requests. By delivering to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuer an Issuance Request on or before 3:00 p.m. each Borrower may request, from time to time prior to the Termination Date and on not less than three nor more than ten (10) Business Days’ notice, that such Issuer issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower; provided that the Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not at any time exceed $100,000,000. Such Issuance Request may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the Issuer. Upon receipt of an Issuance Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof. Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its “Stated Expiry Date”) no later than the earlier of 12 months from its date of issuance and fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduled Termination Date. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers hereby agree, anything in any Issuance Request to the contrary notwithstanding, that any and all provisions of any Issuance Request purporting to grant a security interest in any asset of any Borrower are null and void, it being the intention of the parties that security for the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be provided as described in Section 5.8 and pursuant to the documents described in Section 8.1. Notwithstanding the terms of any Issuance Request for a Commercial Letter of Credit, in no event may any Borrower extend the time for reimbursing any drawing under a Commercial Letter of Credit by obtaining a bankers’ acceptance from the relevant Issuer. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuance Request, the terms hereof shall control. 5.2 Issuances and Extensions. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 11), each Issuer shall issue Letters of Credit in accordance with Issuance Requests made therefor; provided that no Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be issued under this Agreement unless the Issuer (other than Bank of America) notifies the Administrative Agent of the issuance of such Letter of Credit. (b) Each Issuer will make available the original of each Letter of Credit which it issues in accordance with the Issuance Request therefor (and will promptly provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of such Letter of Credit). (c) An Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the First Amendment Effective Date, or shall impose


 
38 upon such Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the First Amendment Effective Date and which such Issuer in good faith deems material to it; (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuer; (iii) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; (iv) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; (v) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.7(a)(iv)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Outstandings as to which such Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; (vi) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would cause the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer to exceed such Issuer’s LC Commitment; or (vii) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000, in the case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, or $500,000, in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit. (d) No Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof. (e) No Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) such Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. (f) Each Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 13 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuance Requests and applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 13 included such Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuer.


 
39 5.3 Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to each Issuer. Each Borrower agrees to pay directly to the applicable Issuer for its own account all customary fees and standard costs and charges of such Issuer in connection with the issuance, maintenance, modification (if any) and administration of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer for the account of such Borrower upon demand from time to time. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 5.4 Other Lenders’ Participation. Each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to Section 5.2 shall, effective upon its issuance and without further action, be issued on behalf of all Lenders (including the Issuer thereof) pro rata according to their respective Percentages. Each Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage, be deemed irrevocably to have participated in the issuance of such Letter of Credit and shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer thereof an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the amount of any drawings which have not been reimbursed by the Borrowers, in accordance with Section 5.5, or which have been reimbursed by the Borrowers but must be returned or disgorged by such Issuer for any reason, and each Lender (unless such Lender is then a Defaulting Lender) shall, to the extent of its Percentage, be entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent a ratable portion of the Letter of Credit Fees received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.4, with respect to each Letter of Credit. In the event that the Borrowers shall fail to reimburse any Issuer (through the Administrative Agent), or if for any reason Loans shall not be made to fund any Reimbursement Obligation, all as provided in Section 5.5 and in an amount equal to the amount of any drawing honored by such Issuer under a Letter of Credit issued by it, or in the event such Issuer must for any reason return or disgorge such reimbursement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify such Issuer and each Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein. Each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuer, whether or not any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall exist, an amount equal to such Lender’s respective participation in same day or immediately available funds at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day after the date notified by such Issuer. The Administrative Agent will promptly make available to the applicable Issuer any amounts received by it pursuant to the preceding sentence. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided herein, such Issuer shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the daily average Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Business Days (together with such other compensatory amounts determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation) and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2%. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from any Issuer any amounts made available by such Lender to such Issuer pursuant to this Section in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the applicable payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by such Issuer constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuer. Each Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, such Lender’s Percentage of all payments received by such Issuer from the Borrowers, in reimbursement of drawings honored by such Issuer under such Letter of Credit when such payments are received. The Administrative Agent will promptly make available to the applicable Lenders any amounts received by it from an Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence.


 
40 Each Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit shall (a) continue notwithstanding termination of the Commitments until all Liabilities with respect to Letter of Credit Outstandings have been fully and finally paid and (b) be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Alternate Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 5.5 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 (other than delivery by a Borrower of a Loan Request). 5.5 Disbursements. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuer of such Letter of Credit will notify the Borrowers, and the Administrative Agent promptly of the presentment for payment of any Letter of Credit, or of any draft thereunder (any such payment, a “Disbursement”). If an Issuer shall make any Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuer in respect of such Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m. on (i) the Business Day that the Lead Borrower receives notice of such Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the applicable Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time. To the extent the applicable Issuer is not reimbursed in full in accordance with the second sentence of this Section, the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligation shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, payable on demand. In the event the applicable Issuer is not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the Disbursement Date, or if such Issuer must for any reason return or disgorge such reimbursement, the Lenders shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans on the next Business Day in an aggregate amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligations as provided in Section 2.1 (the Lead Borrower being deemed to have given a timely Loan Request therefor for such amount); provided that, for the purpose of determining the availability of the Commitments immediately prior to giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed not to be outstanding at such time. The proceeds of the Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence will be turned over to the applicable Issuer in satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligation. 5.6 Reimbursement Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) under Section 5.5 to reimburse an Issuer with respect to each Disbursement (including interest thereon) made under any Letter of Credit, and each other Lender’s obligation to make participation payments in each drawing which has not been reimbursed by such Borrower, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, including: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries 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


 
41 any such transferee may be acting), any 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; (c) 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; (d) waiver by the Issuer of any requirement that exists for the Issuer’s protection and not the protection of a Borrower, or any waiver by the Issuer that does not in fact materially prejudice a Borrower; (e) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; (f) any payment made by the Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable; (g) any payment by the applicable 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 such 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; or (h) 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, a Borrower or any their respective Subsidiaries. Each Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will immediately notify the applicable Issuer. Each Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 5.7 Role of Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in making any Disbursement under a Letter of Credit, the applicable 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 any Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as


 
42 applicable; (b) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. 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 issued for such Borrower’s account; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (h) of Section 5.6); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against an Issuer, and such Issuer may be liable to a Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by such Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuer’s willful 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 furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any 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 such Issuer shall not 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. The Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary. 5.8 Deemed Disbursements; Cash Collateral. (a) Deemed Disbursements. During the existence of any Event of Default, an amount equal to that portion of Letter of Credit Outstandings attributable to outstanding and undrawn Letters of Credit issued for the account of the applicable Borrower shall, at the election of the Majority Lenders, and without demand upon or notice to such Borrower, be deemed to have been paid or disbursed by the applicable Issuer under such Letters of Credit (notwithstanding that such amount may not in fact have been so paid or disbursed), and, upon notification by such Issuer to the Administrative Agent and such Borrower of its obligations under this Section, such Borrower shall be immediately obligated to reimburse such Issuer the amount deemed to have been so paid or disbursed by such Issuer. Any amounts so received by such Issuer from a Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be turned over to the Administrative Agent and held as collateral security for the repayment of such Borrower’s obligations in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer. At any time when such Letters of Credit shall terminate and all liabilities of each Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it are either terminated or paid or reimbursed to such Issuer in full, the Liabilities of such Borrower under this Section shall be reduced accordingly (subject, however, to reinstatement in the event any payment in respect of such Letters of Credit is recovered in any manner from such Issuer), and, provided that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, as applicable, exists, the Administrative Agent will return to the Borrowers the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate amount deposited by the Borrowers with the


 
43 Administrative Agent and not theretofore applied to any Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers over (b) the aggregate amount of all Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrowers over pursuant to this Section, as so adjusted. At such time when all Events of Default shall have been cured or waived, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers all amounts then on deposit with the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section. To the extent any amounts on deposit pursuant to this Section shall, until their application to any Reimbursement Obligation or their return to the Borrowers as the case may be, bear interest, such interest shall be held by the Administrative Agent as additional collateral security for the repayment of the Borrowers’ Liabilities in connection with the Letters of Credit. (b) Cash Collateral and Defaulting Lender. If any Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to either Borrower exist at the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days of delivery of written notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize the amount of the Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 5.8(b), such cash collateral shall be released and promptly returned to such Borrower from time to time to the extent the amount deposited shall exceed the Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings, or if such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender. 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, such 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. (c) Lien on Cash Collateral. This Agreement sets forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral. Each Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in all such cash, all deposit accounts into which such cash is deposited, all balances in such accounts and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent. (d) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 5.8 or Sections 2.7, 5.2, 6.3, or 12.2 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Outstandings, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein. (e) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 15.8(a))) or (ii) the


 
44 Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by the Borrowers shall not be released during the continuance of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuer, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 5.9 Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. Each Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by the beneficiary thereof. None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender (except to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be responsible for: (a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (b) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect 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; (c) failure of the beneficiary to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (d) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile or otherwise; or (e) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted the Administrative Agent any Issuer or any Lender hereunder. In furtherance and extension, and not in limitation or derogation, of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuer in good faith shall be binding upon the Borrowers and shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrowers. 5.10 Increased Costs; Indemnity. If by reason of (a) any Change in Law, or (b) compliance by any Issuer or any Lender with any direction, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or monetary authority, including Regulation D of the FRB: (i) any Issuer or any Lender shall be subject to any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) other than in respect of Taxes on the overall net income of such Lender or Issuer that are imposed as a result of such Lender or Issuer having its principal office located in the jurisdiction imposing such Tax), levy, charge or


 
45 withholding of any nature or to any variation thereof or to any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 5, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by such Issuer or any Lender; (ii) any reserve, deposit or similar requirement is or shall be applicable, imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by any Issuer or participations therein purchased by any Lender; or (iii) there shall be imposed on any Issuer or any Lender any other condition regarding this Section 5, any Letter of Credit or any participation therein; and the result of the foregoing is directly or indirectly to increase the cost to such Issuer of issuing, making or maintaining any Letter of Credit or the cost to such Lender of purchasing or maintaining any participation therein, or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof by such Issuer or such Lender, then and in any such case such Issuer or such Lender may, at any reasonable time after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify the Borrowers thereof, and the Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts as such Lender or each Issuer, may specify to be necessary to compensate such Issuer or Lender for such additional cost or reduced receipt. The determination by such Issuer or Lender, as the case may be, of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a statement setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and presumptively valid and binding on all of the parties hereto. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 5, each Borrower hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to protect, indemnify, pay and save each Lender and each Issuer, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and allocated costs of internal counsel) which such Issuer or such Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (x) the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuer as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (y) the failure of such Issuer to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority. 5.11 Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the ISP and the UCP at the time of issuance shall apply to each Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuer shall be responsible to either Borrower for, and no Issuer’s rights and remedies against such Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of an Issuer required or permitted under any law, order or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where an Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA) or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.


 
46 SECTION 6. PAYMENTS, OFFSETS, PREPAYMENTS AND REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS; INCREASE IN COMMITMENTS. 6.1 Payments Generally. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all payments hereunder (including payments with respect to the Loans) shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off and shall be made in coin or currency of the United States which at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in immediately available funds by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, pro rata according to the unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other place as may be designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers in writing. Any payment received after 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Lender or the applicable Issuer, as the case may be, its share of all such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuer, as applicable. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a date other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees. For purposes of the imposition of any tax (other than taxes on net income and franchises), levy, charge or withholding of any nature or any variation thereof or any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, all payments hereunder shall be made from sources within the United States by the Borrowers. Any payments or prepayments to be applied to the outstanding amount of any Loans shall be applied to the Loans held by the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders ratably (based upon the outstanding amount of all Loans held by all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders) until each Lender (including any Defaulting Lender) has its Percentage of all of the outstanding amount of the Loans, and the balance, if any, of such payments or prepayments shall be applied to the Loans of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages. 6.2 Prepayments. (a) Mandatory. If at any time the Letter of Credit Outstandings plus the principal amount of Loans exceeds the Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately make a mandatory prepayment to the Administrative Agent (which shall be applied (or held for application, as the case may be) by the Administrative Agent first to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding and then to the payment or Cash Collateralization of the Letter of Credit Outstandings) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. (b) Optional. (i) General Prepayments. Each Borrower may from time to time (subject to the notice and minimum prepayment provisions set forth in this clause (i)), upon prior written or telephonic notice received by the Administrative Agent


 
47 in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans and by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to any prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans, prepay the principal of the Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (x) any partial prepayment of principal pursuant to this clause (b)(i) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (y) any prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section 7.5. The applicable Borrower shall promptly confirm in writing any telephonic notice of prepayment in writing. (ii) Special Prepayments. Either Borrower may from time to time prepay any Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.7. Any prepayment of the principal of the Loans pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) shall include accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid. (c) Application. Any prepayment pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) above shall be applied to such Loans as the applicable Borrower shall direct or, in the absence of such direction: first, to any Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period ending on the date of such prepayment, second, to any Alternate Base Rate Loans outstanding on such date, and third, to such other Loans as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine. 6.3 Reduction or Termination of Commitments. (a) The Borrowers may from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof), permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment Amount to an amount that is not less than the sum of the Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings and all other related Liabilities. Any such reduction shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. The Borrowers may at any time on like notice terminate the Commitments upon payment in full of the outstanding Loans and all other related Liabilities and by replacing and surrendering all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the Borrowers’ account or, at the applicable Issuers’ option, providing Cash Collateral security for all Letter of Credit Outstandings in accordance with Section 5.8. (b) Any reduction of the Commitments pursuant to clause (a) above shall be applied to the applicable Commitment of each Lender according to its Percentage. 6.4 Offset. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that any Lender may have under applicable law, each Lender shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 12.1 or any Unmatured Event of Default described in Section 12.1(e) have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Liabilities owing to it (whether or not due) any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Loan Parties then or thereafter with such Lender or any Affiliate thereof, and each such Affiliate is hereby irrevocably authorized to permit such setoff, provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.5; provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall


 
48 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 2.7 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 Lenders and the Issuers 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. 6.5 Proration of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of any Loan or Letter of Credit in excess of its pro rata share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of all Loans and Letters of Credit (including after giving effect to the loss of any payment or recovery by any other Lender), such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans and/or Letters of Credit held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest unless the Lender from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender which is required to restore such purchase price shall pay its pro rata share of such interest. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders under this Section 6.5 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off pursuant to Section 6.4) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 6.6 [Reserved]. 6.7 Increase in the Aggregate Commitment Amount. (a) The Borrowers may at any time (but not more than twice in any calendar quarter), by means of a letter to the Administrative Agent, request that the Aggregate Commitment Amount be increased (a “Commitment Increase”) as of the date specified in such letter (the “Increase Date”) by (i) increasing the Commitment of any Lender (an “Increasing Lender”) that has agreed to such increase (it being understood that no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 6.7) and/or (ii) adding one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Additional Lender”) as parties hereto, in each case with a Commitment in the amount agreed to by such Additional Lender; provided that (A) the aggregate amount of all such Commitment Increases shall not exceed $500,000,000 during the term of this Agreement plus, after the aggregate amount of Commitment Increases is equal to $500,000,000, such additional amount that would not cause the Total Debt Ratio to exceed 2.50 to 1.00 after giving pro forma effect to such Commitment Increase as though such Commitment Increase were fully drawn as of the date of calculation, (B) each Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of


 
49 $10,000,000, and (C) the Commitment of each Additional Lender shall be $10,000,000 or more. (b) On each Increase Date, (x) each applicable Additional Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder and (y) the Commitment of each applicable Increasing Lender shall be increased by the amount agreed by such Increasing Lender; provided that: (i) on such Increase Date, the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of each Borrower, dated such Increase Date stating that: (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 9 are true and correct on and as of such Increase Date, before and after giving effect to the Commitment Increase, as though made on and as of such Increase Date, (B) no material adverse change has occurred since the date of the financial statements most-recently delivered pursuant to Section 10.1(a) and (C) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists; (ii) on or before such Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received the following, each dated such Increase Date, for further distribution to each Lender (including each Additional Lender): (A) certified copies of resolutions of the board of directors of each Borrower approving the Commitment Increase and any corresponding modifications to this Agreement; (B) such other approvals or documents as any Lender through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with such Commitment Increase; (C) a joinder agreement from each Additional Lender, if any, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent; and (D) written confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment hereunder, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 6.7(b), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including each Additional Lender) and the Lead Borrower of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Additional Lender on such date. Each Increasing Lender and each Additional Lender shall, before 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Increase Date, make available for the account of its applicable lending office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in same day funds, an aggregate amount to be distributed to the other Lenders for the account of their respective applicable lending offices such that, after giving effect to such distribution, each Lender has a ratable share (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) of each outstanding Borrowing. Each Borrower acknowledges that, in order to maintain Borrowings in accordance with each Lender’s ratable share thereof, a reallocation of the Commitments as a result of a non- pro-rata increase in the aggregate Commitments may require prepayment of all or portions of certain Borrowings on the date of such increase (and any such prepayment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.5).


 
50 SECTION 7. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TERM SOFR LOANS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY; TAXES. 7.1 Increased Cost. If, as a result of any Change in Law: (a) any tax is imposed on any Lender or Issuer or the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on any Term SOFR Loan is changed ((A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) other than in respect of Taxes on the overall net income of such Lender or Issuer that are imposed as a result of such Lender or Issuer having its principal office located in the jurisdiction imposing such Tax); (b) any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender are imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or (c) any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Term SOFR Loan is imposed on any Lender or the interbank markets; and such Lender determines that, solely by reason thereof, the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) is increased, or the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of the Loans (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) is reduced, then the Borrowers shall pay to such affected Lender upon written demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculation thereof but only to the extent not theretofore provided to the Borrowers) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduction. Determinations by a Lender for purposes of this Section of the additional amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect of the foregoing shall be final and presumptively valid and binding on all of the parties hereto, absent manifest error. 7.2 Inability to Determine Rates. (a) If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion of Alternate Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 7.2(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 7.2(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Alternate Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with


 
51 respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, or to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Majority Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 7.2(a), until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period. (b) Replacement of Term SOFR or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Lenders, a copy to the Borrowers) that the Borrowers or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that: (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month or three month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month and three month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month and three month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);


 
52 then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant Payment Date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”). If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 7.2(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 7.2 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant Payment Date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate. Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.


 
53 In connection with the implementation and administration of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrowers and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. For purposes of this Section 7.2, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans shall be excluded from any determination of Majority Lenders. 7.3 Changes in Law Rendering SOFR Loans Unlawful. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law 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 Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Lead Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Alternate Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which Alternate Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to Alternate Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Alternate Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loan and (ii) with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans, if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR 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 SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 7.5. 7.4 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or any Issuer shall determine at any time after the date hereof that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuer’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 or such


 
54 Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuer’s holding company as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuer or any holding company of such Lender or such Issuer could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuer’s policies, and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuer’s holding company, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuer to be material, then the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Issuer upon demand such amount or amounts, in addition to the amounts payable under the other provisions of this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, as will compensate such Lender or such Issuer or any holding company of such Lender or such Issuer for such reduction. Any such demand by any Lender or any Issuer hereunder shall be in writing, and shall set forth the reasons for such demand and copies of all documentation reasonably relevant in support thereof. Determinations by any Lender or any Issuer for purposes of this Section 7.4 of the additional amount or amounts required to compensate such Lender or such Issuer in respect of the foregoing shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount or amounts, any Lender or any Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 7.5 Indemnity. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur, including any loss or expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain a Loan, due to (a) any failure by a Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a Term SOFR Loan, (b) any failure of a Borrower to borrow on a date specified therefor in a notice thereof, (c) any payment or prepayment (including any prepayment pursuant to Section 7.3 or 7.7) of any Term SOFR Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, (d) any failure of a Borrower to continue a Term SOFR Loan on a date specified in a notice of continuation or to convert an Alternate Base Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Loan on a date specified in a notice of conversion or (e) any assignment of a Term SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 7.7. Upon the written notice of a Lender to the Lead Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall, within five (5) days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. 7.6 Discretion of the Lenders as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Term SOFR Loans in any manner it elects, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if all Lenders had actually funded and maintained each Term SOFR Loan through the purchase of Dollar deposits having a maturity corresponding to the maturity of the applicable Term SOFR Loan and bearing an interest rate equal to the Term SOFR (whether or not, in any instance, any Lender shall have granted any participations in such Loan). Any Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill any commitment to make any Term SOFR Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate to make or continue such Term SOFR Loan, provided that in such event such Loan shall be deemed for the purposes of this Agreement to have been made by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by such Lender, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate.


 
55 7.7 Special Prepayment; Replacement of Lender. If any Lender makes any demand for payment of any amount pursuant to Section 5.10, 7.1, 7.4 or 7.8, gives any notice pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 or is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrowers may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, either (i) reduce or terminate the Commitments of such Affected Lender and immediately prepay the applicable outstanding Liabilities owed to such Affected Lender (or all outstanding Liabilities owed to such Affected Lender in the case of a termination) so that, after giving effect to such prepayment, such Affected Lender has a pro rata share (based on its revised Percentage after giving effect to such reduction) of the outstanding Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and/or (ii) cause such Affected Lender to assign its Commitments, its Loans, its participations in Letters of Credit and its interest in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more other Eligible Assignees (any such assignee, together with all Lenders other than such Affected Lender, the “Remaining Lenders”) selected by the Borrowers and acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Any assignment made pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be in accordance with Section 15.8 (but without giving effect to any provision of such Section which restricts the minimum or maximum amount which is permitted to be assigned). If any reduction or termination of any Affected Lender’s Commitment is made pursuant to clause (i) above, then (A) the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Commitment so reduced or terminated, and (B) each Remaining Lender’s (and, in the case of a reduction, such Affected Lender’s) share or percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount, as so reduced, shall be deemed proportionately adjusted; it being understood that the amount of any Lender’s Commitment (as opposed to any Lender’s share or percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount) shall not at any time be increased without the consent of such Lender. 7.8 Loan Related Taxes. (a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 7.8, the term “Lender” includes any Issuer. (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of either Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, then the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.8) the applicable recipient of such payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.


 
56 (c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Each Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (d) Indemnification by Borrowers. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes applicable to any Borrower (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.8) payable or paid by such recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Borrower has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of each Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 15.9 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (e). (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 7.8, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (g) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to a Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative


 
57 Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 7.8(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person: (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance


 
58 Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W- 8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal with-holding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to a Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 7.8 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a


 
59 Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.8, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 7.8 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the recipient in the event the recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (h), in no event will the applicable recipient be required to pay any amount to a Borrower pursuant to this clause (h) the payment of which would place the recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any recipient to available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to a Borrower or any other Person. (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Liabilities. 7.9 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 7.1, or any Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuer pursuant to Section 7.8, then such Lender or such Issuer shall (at the request of the Borrowers) 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 or such Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.8, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment. SECTION 8. GUARANTY. 8.1 Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Liabilities and the punctual performance of all of the terms contained in the documents executed by a Borrower in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Liabilities. The agreement of the Guarantor herein is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the


 
60 Liabilities shall include any such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against Guarantor or a Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, and shall include interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any of the Borrowers of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, in connection with this Agreement (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof in accordance with Section 8.10 hereof). 8.2 No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Lenders) is imposed upon Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, Guarantor will pay to each Lender, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable such Lender to receive the same net amount which such Lender would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon Guarantor. Guarantor will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Liabilities and termination of this Agreement. 8.3 Rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Guarantor consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Liabilities or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Agreement or any Liabilities; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of Guarantor under this Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of Guarantor. 8.4 Certain Waivers. The Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Lender or the Administrative Agent) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed against any Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Liabilities, or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or


 
61 hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (f) any fact or circumstance related to the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement; and (g) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Liabilities have been fully performed, and the Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement, have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Liabilities, and all notices of acceptance of this guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Liabilities. The guaranty of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Liabilities or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Liabilities, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of Guarantor under this guaranty, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. 8.5 Obligations Independent. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and a separate action may be brought against Guarantor to enforce this guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party. 8.6 Subrogation. Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this guaranty until all of the Liabilities and any amounts payable under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Liabilities are terminated. If any amounts are paid to Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured. 8.7 Termination; Reinstatement. This guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Liabilities now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and any commitments of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of them or facilities provided by the Lenders or any of them with respect to the Liabilities are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor is made, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Liabilities 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 any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether


 
62 or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender is in possession of or has released this guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement. 8.8 Subordination. Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any Borrower owing to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to Guarantor as subrogee of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or resulting from Guarantor’s performance under this Section 8, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Liabilities. If the Administrative Agent so requests while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Borrower to Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Liabilities, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under this Section 8. 8.9 Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Liabilities is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent. 8.10 Miscellaneous. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the amount of the Liabilities shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon Guarantor and conclusive, absent manifest error for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Liabilities. No failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. 8.11 Condition of Borrowers. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of each Borrower as Guarantor requires, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty, and Guarantor is not relying on the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time, to disclose to Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

(f) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Persons. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Person or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Person.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 13.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Lead Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. (a) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Majority Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Lead Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such


 
84 removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. (b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, 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 each Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. 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 removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.7 and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and 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). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 15.5 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 (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent. (c) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuer and all Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Alternate Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in unpaid and outstanding Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuer hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer, (ii) the retiring Issuer shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor 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 Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.


 
85 13.7 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent. 13.8 No other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Book Runners, Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuer hereunder. 13.9 Funding Reliance. (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.4(c) (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.4(c)) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers 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 Lead Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers 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 a


 
86 Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or the Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive if made in good faith and absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrowers (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. (c) A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 13.9 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 13.10 Administrative Agent may File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or other judicial proceeding relative to a Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement 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 such Loan Party) 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, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Liabilities 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 Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 15.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;


 
87 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.5, 4.6 and 15.5. 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 any Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Liabilities or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 13.11 Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders and the Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to take the actions with respect to the guaranty by the Guarantor as are set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement. Upon approval by the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent may release the Guarantor from its obligations under Section 8. In each case as specified in this Section 13.11, the Administrative Agent will, at the Loan Parties’ expense, execute and deliver to the Lead Borrower such documents as may reasonably be requested to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under Section 8, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 13.11. 13.12 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Loan Parties, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, or this Agreement, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement,


 
88 (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub- sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). 13.13 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender or Issuer, whether or not in respect of any Liabilities due and owing by a Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender or Issuer, as applicable, receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender or Issuer, as applicable, in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender and Issuer irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender or Issuer promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender or Issuer comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.


 
89 SECTION 14. RESTATEMENT OF EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT. 14.1 Restatement; Reallocation.

SECTION 15. GENERAL. 15.1 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, any 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. 15.2 Waivers and Amendments. (a) Generally. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Majority Lenders and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no amendment, waiver or consent shall: (i) unless consented to by each Lender affected thereby, (A) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligation, (B) reduce the principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any fee or other Liability payable hereunder, or (C) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any fee or other Liability hereunder, (ii) unless consented to by each Lender, (A) waive any condition specified in Section 11.1, (B) change the Percentages or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Lenders which shall be required to take action hereunder, or the definition of “Majority Lenders” or (C) change any provision of this Section 15.2, (iii) [reserved], or

(b) The Borrowers agree that they shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any subagent thereof), each Lender, each Issuer and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (including the reasonable and documented fees and time charges and disbursements for in- house counsel to such Indemnitee, provided such fees and time charges are set forth in reasonable detail)), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including a Borrower but excluding such Indemnitee and its Related Parties) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation the Indemnitee’s reliance on any Communication executed using an Electronic Signature, or in the form of an Electronic Record) the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any 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), (iii) any liability under any Environmental Law related in any way to a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by a Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if a Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 15.5 shall not apply with respect to any Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. (c) To the extent that a Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) above to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any 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), such 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 based on each Lender’s Percentage at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), provided, that the


 
95 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 any 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 any Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are several and not joint. (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on demand. (f) The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions in Section 15.3(d) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and Bank of America in its capacity as an Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 15.6 Governing Law; Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. All obligations of the Loan Parties and rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent expressed herein, in the Notes or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto. 15.7 Successors and Assigns. 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 Loan Party shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender; and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.8, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.10, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 15.11 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 15.10 and,


 
96 to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 15.8 Assignments by Lenders. (a) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including participations in Letters of Credit) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 15.8, the principal outstanding balance of the 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 or, if the “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date), shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower, otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) [reserved]; (iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except for the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent that such assignment is to a Person other than another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, and the consent of the Lead Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, provided that the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after having received notice thereof; (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; (v) no such assignment shall be made (A) to a Borrower or any Affiliate of or Subsidiary of a Borrower or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its


 
97 Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); and (vi) no such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of a natural Person). Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (b) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, 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, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.5, 7.8 and 15.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. If requested by the assignee Lender, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 clause (c) below. (b) Disqualified Persons. (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to, and no portion of any Commitment Increase shall be provided by, any Person that was a Disqualified Person as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person or the applicable Increase Date, as the case may be (unless the Borrowers in their sole and absolute discretion have consented, in writing, to such assignment or the portion of the Commitment Increase to be provided by such Disqualified Person, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Person for the purpose of such assignment, participation or Commitment Increase). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant or Lender that provides any portion of a Commitment Increase that becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Person”), (x) such assignee or Lender shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrowers of an Assignment and Assumption or Joinder Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Person. Any assignment or Commitment Increase in violation of this clause (b)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (b)(i) shall apply.


 
98 (ii) If any assignment or participation is made to, or any portion of a Commitment Increase is provided by, any Disqualified Person without the Borrowers’ prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate the Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Person in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Person to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 15.8), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have been paid the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 15.8(a)(iv) and (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Persons (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Person will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Person party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Person does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2). (iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of


 
99 Disqualified Persons provided by the Borrowers and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same. (c) Assignment by Bank of America. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to clause (a) above, Bank of America may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as an Issuer, and if there are no other Issuers at the time of such resignation, the Lead Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to serve in such capacity a successor Issuer hereunder; provided that no failure by the Lead Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as an Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as an Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuer and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 5.4). Upon the appointment of a successor Issuer, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer, as the case may be, and (ii) the successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by Bank of America that are outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit. (d) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Issuer 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 in accordance with its Percentage. 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. 15.9 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain a copy of each


 
100 Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 15.10 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than to (w) a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, (x) a Defaulting Lender, (y) or a Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Borrower or (z) a Disqualified Person) (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 Letter of Credit Outstandings) 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, (iii) such Participant shall be bound by Section 15.20, and (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 15.5 without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification, or waiver with respect to Sections 15.2(a)(i) or 15.2(a)(iii) which affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.5 and 7.8 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 15.8; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 7.7 and 7.9 as if it were an assignee under Section 15.8 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 7.1 or 7.8, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Sections 7.7 and 7.9 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 6.5 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant


 
101 Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 4f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 15.11 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. Any Lender may 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, the European Central Bank or any other applicable central bank or Governmental Authority; 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. 15.12 Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 7 and 15.5, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 15.5(c), shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement, the payment in full of all Liabilities and the termination of all Commitments. The representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document. 15.13 Effect of Amendment and Restatement. (a) This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and, upon the effectiveness hereof, all obligations of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement shall become obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, and the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions hereof. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by any Loan Party or any Lender, nor any of the terms or provisions contained herein, shall be construed to be a novation of, or payment on or with respect to, the Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement. (b) Upon the Restatement Effective Date, the Commitment (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of each Lender (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) that does not have a Commitment set forth on Schedule I hereto shall be terminated, and each such Lender (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall be released from any obligations as a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (provided for the avoidance of doubt that any obligations of any such lender under the Existing Credit Agreement which by their express terms are deemed to survive any such release or termination shall survive). When counterparts executed by all the parties shall have been lodged with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any Lender as to which an executed


 
102 counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the Administrative Agent shall have received facsimile or other written confirmation from such Lender) and all of the conditions set forth in Section 11 shall have been satisfied, this Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof, and at such time the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. (c) The Loan Parties, the Lenders that are party to the Existing Credit Agreement and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, acknowledge and agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement on the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement, and shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (except that any provision thereof which by its terms survives termination thereof shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the applicable party or parties), all without any other action by any Person. 15.14 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 15.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provision in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by any Debtor Relief Law, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or an Issuer, as applicable, then such provision shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 15.15 Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, Etc. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute together but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of a counterpart hereof, or a signature page hereto, by facsimile or in a .pdf or similar file shall be effective as delivery of a manually-executed original counterpart hereof. 15.16 Investment. Each Lender represents and warrants that: (a) it is acquiring any Note to be issued to it hereunder for its own account as a result of making a loan in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and not with a view to the public distribution or sale thereof, nor with any present intention of selling or distributing such Note, but subject, nevertheless, to possible assignments or participations thereof pursuant to Section 15.8 and to any legal or administrative requirement that the disposition of such Lender’s property at all times be within its control, and (b) in good faith it has not and will not rely upon any margin stock (as such term is defined in Regulation U of the FRB) as collateral in the making and maintaining of its Loans. 15.17 Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative Agent or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with either Borrower or any of their respective


 
103 Affiliates in which such Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. 15.18 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUER, ANY LENDER OR THE LOAN PARTIES SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION. EACH LOAN PARTY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT A LOAN PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 15.19 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUERS, THE LENDERS AND EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUERS, THE LENDERS OR A LOAN PARTY. EACH LOAN PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUERS AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. 15.20 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as


 
104 defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, its auditors and to its and its Affiliates’ Related Parties (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 required or requested by any governmental regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it and its Related Parties (including any self- regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the applicable Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating a Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Lead Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information of a non-public, confidential and proprietary nature received from a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers acknowledge that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary, 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 Federal and state securities laws. 15.21 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


 
105 Rate”). If the Administrative 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 Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative 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. 15.22 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any 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, such 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 each 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 Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement. 15.23 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Loan Party and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) such Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) such Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Loan Party and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Loan Party or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent


 
106 permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 15.24 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. This Agreement, any other Loan Document (including any Note) and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. The Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuer agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Loan Parties nor the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuer is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuer has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower and/or any Lender or Issuer without further verification and (b) upon the request of any of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuer, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. Neither the Loan Parties nor the Administrative Agent or Issuer shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s or Issuer’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and Issuer shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it


 
107 orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuer hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender or Issuer and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s or Issuer’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature, in each case, in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. 15.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. 15.26 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Interest Rate Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support


 
108 (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. (b) As used in this Section 15.26, the following terms have the following meanings: “BHC Act Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such Person. “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

(a) Loan Requests. The Lead Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice by (x) telephone (promptly confirmed in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Loan Request”)) or (y) by delivering a Loan Request, not later than 11:00 a.m. at least (i) three (3) Business Days (or such later date agreed to by the Administrative Agent and Majority Lenders) prior to the requested Funding Date or, in the case of a continuation or conversion, the continuation or conversion date, as applicable, in the instance of a Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans (or continuation or conversion, as applicable) or (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date in the instance of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, of each requested Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly advise each Lender of its receipt of such Loan Request; provided, that each such Loan Request shall be in a minimum amount of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000). Each Loan Request from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of the Borrowing requested (or continued or converted, as applicable), (ii) the Type of Loans being borrowed, continued or converted, as applicable, and (iii) if such Borrowing, continuation or conversion is of Term SOFR Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Interest Period).

Subject to Section 2.2, each Term SOFR Loan shall automatically continue as a Term SOFR Loan on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan for an Interest Period of equivalent duration, unless paid in full on such last day, or unless one or more of the conditions in Section 7.2 are in effect, in which case such Term SOFR Loan shall convert into a Base Rate Loan, to begin on the last day of such current Interest Period.

The obligations of each Lender hereunder to make its Loan and to make payments pursuant to this Agreement are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make its Loan or to make any payment under this Agreement 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 to make its payment under this Agreement. 2.7 Term Loan Facility. The credit facility evidenced by this Agreement is a term loan facility. Accordingly, the Lead Borrower will not have the right to reborrow any amounts repaid or prepaid to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 2.8 Optional Increase in Term Loan Facility.

At the time of sending such notice, the Lead Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders), the amortization schedule of each additional Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.8. Any additional Loan will amortize at the same annual rate of amortization as the Loans that are in effect when such additional Loan is funded. Such annual rate of amortization on the initial Loan will be calculated by comparing the annual aggregate scheduled principal payments of the initial Loan to the unpaid principal balance of such initial Loan at the time the additional Loan is funded. (b) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than or less than its applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender that fails to respond within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. (c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Lead Borrower may also invite one or more Eligible Assignees to become parties hereto as Lenders (each, an “Additional Lender”). 30 (d) If the Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and Lead Borrower shall mutually determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. (e) As a condition precedent to any Commitment Increase: (i) the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date, stating that, with respect to the Borrower: (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 9 are true and correct on and as of such Increase Effective Date, before and after giving effect to the Commitment Increase, as though made on and as of such Increase Effective Date, (B) no Material Adverse Effect has occurred since the date of the financial statements most-recently delivered pursuant to Section 10.1(a), (C) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists before or after giving effect to such additional Loan and (D) the Borrowers shall be in pro forma compliance with all covenants set forth in Sections 10.12, 10.13 and 10.14 hereof; and (ii) on or before such Increase Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received, for further distribution to each Lender (including each Additional Lender) a joinder agreement dated as of such Increase Effective Date from each Additional Lender, if any, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent. (f) On each Increase Effective Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 2.8(e), (i) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including each Additional Lender) and the Lead Borrower of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Effective Date, (ii) each applicable Additional Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Additional Lender on such date and (iv) Schedule I shall be deemed amended to reflect the applicable Commitment Increase. Each Additional Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. on the Increase Effective Date, make available for the account of its applicable lending office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in same day funds, an aggregate amount to be distributed to the other Lenders for the account of their respective applicable lending offices such that, after giving effect to such distribution, each Lender has a ratable share (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) of the Loans. The Principal Payment Amounts for each Payment Date shall be increased to reflect this Commitment Increase as necessary based on the amortization schedule provided by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.8(a). Each Borrower acknowledges that, in order to maintain the Loans in accordance with each Lender’s ratable share thereof, a reallocation of the Commitments as a result of a non-pro rata increase in the Aggregate Commitment Amount may require prepayment of all or portions of the 31 Loans on the date of such increase (and any such prepayment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.2). SECTION 3. EVIDENCE OF LOANS. (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans 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 either Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Liabilities. 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. (b) Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note 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 and amount of each of its Loans, the Interest Period therefor (if applicable) and payments with respect thereto.

Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 12 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 6.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fourth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such


 
33 payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or at a time when the conditions specified in Section 11.1 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans to Non-Defaulting Lenders are in proportion to its Percentage. 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 and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions specified therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of either Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. SECTION 6. PAYMENTS, OFFSETS, PREPAYMENTS AND REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS. 6.1 Payments Generally. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all payments hereunder (including payments with respect to the Loans) shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made in coin or currency of the United States which at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in immediately available funds by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, pro rata according to the unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date due at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other place as may be designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers in writing. Any payment received after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Lender its share of all such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a date other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees. For purposes of the imposition of any tax (other than taxes on net income and franchises), levy, charge or withholding of any nature or any variation thereof or any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, all 34 payments hereunder shall be made from sources within the United States by the Borrowers. Any payments or prepayments to be applied to the outstanding amount of any Loans shall be applied to the Loans held by the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders ratably (based upon the outstanding amount of all Loans held by all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders) until each Lender (including any Defaulting Lender) has its Percentage of all of the outstanding amount of the Loans, and the balance, if any, of such payments or prepayments shall be applied to the Loans of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages. 6.2 Prepayments. (a) [Reserved]. (b) Optional. (i) General Prepayments. Each Borrower may from time to time (subject to the notice and minimum prepayment provisions set forth in this clause (i)), upon prior written or electronic notice, in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto, received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof, in any case not later than one (1) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has received the notice) at least three (3) Business Days prior to any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans and one (1) Business Day prior to any prepayment of Base Rate Loans, prepay the principal of the Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (x) any partial prepayment of principal pursuant to this clause (b)(i) shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and (y) any prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section 7.3. (ii) Special Prepayments. Either Borrower may from time to time prepay without premium or penalty, except as provided in Section 7.3, any Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.5. Any prepayment of the principal of the Loans pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) shall include accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid. (c) Prepayments Generally; Application. (i) Any prepayment pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) above shall be applied to such Loans as the applicable Borrower shall direct or, in the absence of such direction: first, to any Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period ending on the date of such prepayment, second, to any Base Rate Loans outstanding on such date, and third, to such other Loans as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine. (ii) Each prepayment under this Section 6.2 shall be made together with accrued interest and any additional amount which is payable pursuant to Section 7.1, Section 7.3 or otherwise hereunder. (iii) Each prepayment under this Section 6.2 shall be applied to reduce all remaining scheduled Principal Payment Amounts (including the Principal 35 Payment Amount due on the Maturity Date) by a fraction, stated as a percentage, the numerator of which is the amount of such prepayment and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Loans immediately prior to such prepayment. (iv) Each Borrower shall promptly confirm in writing any telephonic notice of prepayment in writing. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any notice of a prepayment and of the amount of such Lender’s prepayment, in any case at the latest one Business Day after the Administrative Agent has received notice thereof. (v) For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayment of any portion of the principal balances of the Loans may be reborrowed by the Borrowers. 6.3 Offset. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that any Lender may have under applicable law, each Lender shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 12.1 or any Unmatured Event of Default described in Section 12.1(c), have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Liabilities owing to it (whether or not due) any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Loan Parties then or thereafter with such Lender or any Affiliate thereof, and each such Affiliate is hereby irrevocably authorized to permit such setoff, provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.4. 6.4 Proration of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of any Loan in excess of its pro rata share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of all Loans (including after giving effect to the loss of any payment or recovery by any other Lender), such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest unless the Lender from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender which is required to restore such purchase price shall pay its pro rata share of such interest. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders under this Section 6.4 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off pursuant to Section 6.3) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 6.5 [Reserved]. 36 SECTION 7. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TERM SOFR LOANS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY; TAXES. 7.1 Increased Cost. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing 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, 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), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the


 
37 Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 7.2 Inability to Determine Rates If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 7.2(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 7.2(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding, establishing or maintaining such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Majority Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 7.1(a), until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) 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 and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period. (b) Replacement of Term SOFR or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative 38 Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Lenders, a copy to the Borrowers) that the Borrowers or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that: (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month or three month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month and three month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month and three month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant Payment Date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”). If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 7.2(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 7.222 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant Payment Date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such 39 alternative benchmark. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate. Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrowers and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. For purposes of this Section 7.2, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans shall be excluded from any determination of Majority Lenders. (c) Change in Law Rendering Term SOFR Loans Unlawful. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Official Body has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Lead Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by 40 reference to the Term SOFR 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 Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR 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 Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loan and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR 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 SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 7.3. 7.3 Indemnity. The Borrowers will jointly and severally indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur, including any loss or expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain a Loan, due to (a) any failure by the Borrowers to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a Term SOFR Loan, (b) any payment or prepayment (including any prepayment pursuant to Section 7.3 or 7.5) of any Term SOFR Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, (c) any assignment of a Term SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 7.5, or (d) any failure to convert a Term SOFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan if required hereunder. If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrowers, in writing, of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrowers to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given. 7.4 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 7.1, or either Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 7.6, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Lead Borrower) 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 7.1 or Section 7.6, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to


 
41 such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 7.5 Special Prepayment; Replacement of Lender. If any Lender makes any demand for payment of any amount pursuant to Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.6, gives any notice pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 or is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrowers may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, either (i) reduce or terminate the Commitments of such Affected Lender and immediately prepay the applicable outstanding Liabilities owed to such Affected Lender (or all outstanding Liabilities owed to such Affected Lender in the case of a termination) so that, after giving effect to such prepayment, such Affected Lender has a pro rata share (based on its revised Percentage after giving effect to such reduction) of the outstanding Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and/or (ii) cause such Affected Lender to assign its Commitments, its Loans and its interest in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more other Eligible Assignees (any such assignee, together with all Lenders other than such Affected Lender, the “Remaining Lenders”) selected by the Borrowers and acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Any assignment made pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be in accordance with Section 14.8 (but without giving effect to any provision of such Section which restricts the minimum or maximum amount which is permitted to be assigned). Any Affected Lender that is replaced pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 7.5 shall be entitled to receive (x) from such Eligible Assignees to which its Commitments and Loans are assigned, its pro rata share (based on its Percentage prior to giving effect to such assignment) of the outstanding Loans and (y) from the Borrowers, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, any other outstanding Liabilities owed to such Lender (to the extent not paid pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (x)), and any additional amount which is payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or otherwise hereunder. If any reduction or termination of any Affected Lender’s Commitment is made pursuant to clause (i) above, then (A) the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Commitment so reduced or terminated, and (B) each Remaining Lender’s (and, in the case of a reduction, such Affected Lender’s) share or percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount, as so reduced, shall be deemed proportionately adjusted; it being understood that the amount of any Lender’s Commitment (as opposed to any Lender’s share or percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount) shall not at any time be increased without the consent of such Lender. 7.6 Taxes. (a) FATCA. For purposes of this Section 7.6, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA. (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of either Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant 42 Official Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.6) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes been made. (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes applicable to any Borrower (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.6) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Borrower has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of each Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.10 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 7.6(e). (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 7.6 the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (g) Status of Lenders. 43 (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to a Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation specified in Section 7.6.(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person, (1) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (2) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: a. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; b. executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; c. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate 44 substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable); or d. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W- 8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (3) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (4) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to a Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts


 
45 pursuant to this Section 7.6), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 7.6 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 7.6 (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.6 (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 7.6 (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.6 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Liabilities. SECTION 8. GUARANTY. 8.1 Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Liabilities and the punctual performance of all of the terms contained in the documents executed by a Borrower in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Liabilities. The agreement of the Guarantor herein is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Liabilities shall include any such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against Guarantor or a Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, and shall include interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any of the Borrowers of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, in connection with this Agreement (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof in accordance with Section 8.10 hereof). 8.2 No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Guarantor is compelled by law 46 to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Lenders) is imposed upon Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, Guarantor will pay to each Lender, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable such Lender to receive the same net amount which such Lender would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon Guarantor. Guarantor will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Liabilities and termination of this Agreement. 8.3 Rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Guarantor consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Liabilities or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Agreement or any Liabilities; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of Guarantor under this Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of Guarantor. 8.4 Certain Waivers. The Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Lender or the Administrative Agent) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed against any Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Liabilities, or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (f) any fact or circumstance related to the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement; and (g) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Liabilities have been fully performed, and the Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement, have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Liabilities, and all notices of acceptance of this guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Liabilities. The guaranty of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Liabilities or any 47 instrument or agreement evidencing any Liabilities, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of Guarantor under this guaranty, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. 8.5 Obligations Independent. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and a separate action may be brought against Guarantor to enforce this guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party. 8.6 Subrogation. Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this guaranty until all of the Liabilities and any amounts payable under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Liabilities are terminated. If any amounts are paid to Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured. 8.7 Termination; Reinstatement. This guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Liabilities now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and any commitments of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of them or facilities provided by the Lenders or any of them with respect to the Liabilities are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor is made, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Liabilities 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 any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender is in possession of or has released this guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement. 8.8 Subordination. Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any Borrower owing to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to Guarantor as subrogee of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or resulting from Guarantor’s performance under this Section 8, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Liabilities. If the Administrative Agent so requests while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Borrower to Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Liabilities, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under this Section 8. 48 8.9 Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Liabilities is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent. 8.10 Miscellaneous. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the amount of the Liabilities shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon Guarantor and conclusive, absent manifest error for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Liabilities. No failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. 8.11 Condition of Borrowers. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of each Borrower as Guarantor requires, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty, and Guarantor is not relying on the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time, to disclose to Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

There shall be entered against any Loan Party or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries one or more judgments or decrees which in the aggregate are in excess of the greater of (x) $100,000,000 and (y) 3.0% of the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth in the aggregate at any one time outstanding (excluding any judgments or decrees (i) that shall have been outstanding less than sixty (60) calendar days from the entry thereof or (ii) for and to the extent which the Loan Parties or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary is insured and with respect to which the insurer has assumed responsibility therefor in writing or for and to the extent which such Person is otherwise indemnified if the terms of such indemnification are satisfactory to the Majority Lenders), and either (A) enforcement proceedings shall have been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or order or (B) there shall be any period of thirty (30) consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect. 12.2 Remedies. If any Event of Default described in Section 12.1 shall exist, the Administrative Agent may, or upon request of the Majority Lenders, declare all or a portion of the Commitments to be terminated and/or all or a portion of the Loans and other Liabilities to be due and payable, whereupon to the extent so declared the Commitments shall immediately terminate and/or the outstanding Loans and other Liabilities shall become immediately due and payable, all without notice of any kind (except that if an event described in Section 12.1(c) occurs, the Commitments shall immediately terminate and all outstanding Loans and other Liabilities shall become immediately due and payable without declaration or notice of any kind). The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lead Borrower of any such declaration, but failure to do so shall not impair the effect of such declaration. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.2, if an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may exercise all rights and remedies available upon an Event of Default pursuant to any Loan Document and applicable law. 12.3 Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, proceeds from the exercise of its rights hereunder and received by the Administrative Agent pursuant thereto shall be applied as follows: (a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent for or in respect of all reasonable and documented costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Administrative Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the Administrative Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Administrative Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; 66 (b) Second, to all other obligations hereunder; provided that distributions shall be made (A) with respect to any fees owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, ratably among the Administrative Agent and any Lenders to which such fees are owed, and (B) with respect to each type of other Liabilities owing to the Lenders such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, ratably among the Lenders, and (C) otherwise in such order or preference as the Majority Lenders may determine. In determining the obligations under this Agreement for purposes of clauses (A) and (B), the Administrative Agent may in its reasonable discretion make proper allowance to take into account any obligations hereunder not then due and payable; and (c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrowers or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto. SECTION 13. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. 13.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints PNC Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and, subject to obtaining any consent of the requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 14.2(a), take such other actions on its behalf and exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 13.1 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 13.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 13.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its 67 opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 14.2 and 12.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by a Loan Party or a Lender. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 11 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 13.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 13.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or 68 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 Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 13.5 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 13.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Lead Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Lead Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States that in each case is a Lender. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring 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 under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) 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 directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 13.6. 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, and the retiring 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). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between each Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 13.6 and Section 14.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC Bank as the retiring Administrative Agent and PNC Bank shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under the Loan. 13.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender 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


 
69 it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender 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. 13.8 No Other Duties, Etc.. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents or the Bookrunner listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, or a Lender hereunder. 13.9 Administrative Agent's Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee under the terms of the Fee Letter. 13.10 [Reserved]. 13.11 No Reliance on Administrative Agent's Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Borrowers, its Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws. 13.12 Funding Reliance. (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.3(b) (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.3(b)) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal 70 Funds Open Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers 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 Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers 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 a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim a Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Open Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 13.13 Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise), individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Open Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (ii) such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of 71 the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount different than (other than a de minimis difference), or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, it shall be on notice that, in each such case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment. Each Lender further agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Open Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. (c) The parties hereto agree that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Liabilities owed by the Borrowers, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. (d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Liabilities (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. SECTION 14. GENERAL. 14.1 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender 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. 72 14.2 Waivers and Amendments. (a) Generally. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Majority Lenders and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no amendment, waiver or consent shall: (i) unless consented to by each Lender affected thereby, (A) increase or extend a Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligation, (B) reduce the principal of, or rate of interest on, any Loan or any fee or other Liability payable hereunder (provided that any (x) change in the definition, or component thereof, of any ratio used in the calculation of such principal, rate of interest, fee or other Liability payable hereunder, (y) waiver or amendment in respect of a default rate of interest, or (z) change in the mandatory prepayment requirements, shall not, in each case, constitute a reduction in the principal of, or rate of interest on, any Loan or any fee or other Liability payable hereunder), or (C) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any fee or other Liability hereunder; (ii) unless consented to by each Lender, (A) waive any condition specified in Section 11.1, (B) change the Percentages or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Lenders which shall be required to take action hereunder, or the definition of “Majority Lenders”, (C) change Section 6.1, Section 6.4 or Section 12.3, in each case, in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or (D) change any provision of this Section 14.2; or (iii) No provision of this Agreement (including Section 13) or of any other Loan Document which relates to the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent shall be amended, modified or waived without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. (b) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender will have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (1) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (2) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 14.3 Notices.


 
73 (a) Notices Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any notice hereunder to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be in writing (including facsimile communication) and shall be given (i) if to a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, at its address or facsimile number set forth on Schedule 10.2, and (ii) if to any Lender, at its address or facsimile number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or, in each case, at such other address or facsimile number as the recipient may, by written notice, designate as its address or facsimile number for purposes of notices hereunder.

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or each Loan Party may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY 74 RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Administrative Agent Parties”) have any liability to either Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrowers’ or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Administrative Agent Party; provided that in no event shall any Administrative Agent Party have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). (d) Reliance by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Loan Requests) purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party 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. Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, 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 each Loan Party. 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. 14.4 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

This Section 14.5 shall not apply with respect to any Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. (c) To the extent that a Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) above to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Percentage (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 76 Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are several and not joint.

THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. All obligations of the Borrowers and rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent expressed herein, in the Notes or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto. 14.7 Successors and Assigns. 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 Loan Party shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.8, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.10, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 14.11 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 14.10 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of


 
77 each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 14.8 Assignments by Lenders. (a) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more 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); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) Minimum Amounts. (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's applicable Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 14.8, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if the “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000, in the case of the Loan of such assigning Lender, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan assigned. (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except for the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent that such assignment is to a Person other than another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and (iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $5,000 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and the Eligible Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent. 78 (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to a Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Borrower. (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of a natural Person). Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.9, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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 7.1, 7.2, and 14.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. If requested by the assignee Lender, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.8 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 14.10. (b) Disqualified Persons. (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to, and no portion of any Commitment Increase shall be provided by, any Person that was a Disqualified Person as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person or the applicable Increase Effective Date, as the case may be (unless the Borrowers (in their sole and absolute discretion) have consented, in writing, to such assignment or the portion of the Commitment Increase to be provided by such Disqualified Person, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Person for the purpose of such assignment, participation or Commitment Increase). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant or any Lender that provides any portion of a Commitment Increase that becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Person”), (x) such assignee or Lender shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrowers of an Assignment and Assumption or Joinder Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified 79 Person. Any assignment or Commitment Increase in violation of this clause (b)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (b) shall apply. (ii) If any assignment or participation is made to, or any portion of a Commitment Increase is provided by, any Disqualified Person without the Borrowers’ prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate the Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Person in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Person to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and the Loan Documents. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Persons (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Person will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Debtor Relief Plan, each Disqualified Person party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Debtor Relief Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Person does vote on such Debtor Relief Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Debtor Relief Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2). (iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of 80 Disqualified Persons provided by the Borrowers and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same. 14.9 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Such Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in such Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 14.10 Participation. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than to (w) a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, (x) a Defaulting Lender, (y) a Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (z) a Disqualified Person) (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, (iii) such Participant shall be bound by Section 14.20 and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 14.5(b) without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Sections 14.2(a)(i) or 14.2(a)(iii) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.6 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.8; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 7.4 and 7.5 as if it were an assignee under Section 14.8; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 7.1 or 7.6, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Sections 7.4 and 7.5 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be


 
81 subject to Section 6.4 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 14.11 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central or any other applicable central bank or Official Body; 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. 14.12 Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 7 and 14.5, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 14.5(c), shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement, the payment in full of all Liabilities and the termination of all Commitments. The representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document. 14.13 Effect of Amendment and Restatement. (a) This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the terms and provisions of the Existing Term Loan Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by any Loan Party or any Lender, nor any of the terms or provisions contained herein, shall be construed to be a payment on or with respect to the Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Agreement. (b) When counterparts executed by all the parties shall have been lodged with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any Lender as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the Administrative Agent shall have received facsimile or other written confirmation from such Lender) and all of the conditions set forth in Section 11 shall have been satisfied, this Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof, and at such time the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. (c) The Loan Parties, the Lenders that are party to the Existing Term Loan Agreement and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent under the 82 Existing Term Loan Agreement, acknowledge and agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement on the Closing Date, the Existing Term Loan Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement, and shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (except that any provision thereof which by its terms survives termination thereof shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the applicable party or parties), all without any other action by any Person. 14.14 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. 14.15 Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, Etc.. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute together but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of a counterpart hereof, or a signature page hereto, by facsimile or in a .pdf or similar file shall be effective as delivery of a manually-executed original counterpart hereof. 14.16 Investment. Each Lender represents and warrants that: (a) it is acquiring any Note to be issued to it hereunder for its own account as a result of making a loan in the ordinary course of its commercial banking or lending business and not with a view to the public distribution or sale thereof, nor with any present intention of selling or distributing such Note, but subject, nevertheless, to possible assignments or participations thereof pursuant to Section 14.8 and to any legal or administrative requirement that the disposition of such Lender’s property at all times be within its control, and (b) in good faith it has not and will not rely upon any margin stock (as such term is defined in Regulation U of the FRB) as collateral in the making and maintaining of its Loans. 14.17 Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative Agent or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with either Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which such Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. 14.18 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE LOAN PARTIES SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN 83 DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION. EACH LOAN PARTY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT A LOAN PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 14.19 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS OR A LOAN PARTY. EACH LOAN PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. 14.20 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (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 regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective 84 counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information of a non-public, confidential and proprietary nature received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to such Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any of 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 such Loan Party or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary thereof, 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 Federal and state securities laws. 14.21 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 the Administrative 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 Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative 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. 14.22 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of either 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


 
85 annum equal to the Federal Funds Open 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 Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement. 14.23 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, (B) such Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) such Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) the Administrative Agent nor has no obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and the Administrative Agent has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 14.24 Appointment of Lead Arranger and Bookrunner; No Other Duties. The Borrowers hereby appoints (i) PNC Capital Markets LLC, as Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, (ii) ING Belgium SA/NV, as Joint Lead Arranger and Co-Syndication Agent, (iii) MUFG Bank, Ltd., as Joint Lead Arranger and Co-Syndication Agent, (iv) Bank of America, N.A., as Joint Lead Arranger and Co-Syndication Agent, (v) Truist Securities, Inc., as Joint Lead Arranger and Co- Syndication Agent, (vi) Citibank, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agent, (vii) Crédit Industriel et Commercial, New York Branch, as Co-Documentation Agent, (viii) DBS Bank Ltd., as Co- Documentation Agent, (ix) Fifth Third Bank, National Association, as Co-Documentation Agent, (x) Mizuho Bank Ltd., as Co-Documentation Agent, and (xi) Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Co- Documentation Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Joint Lead Arranger, Bookrunner, Co-Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, except in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. 14.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion 86 Powers by an applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail- in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any applicable Resolution Authority. 14.26 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. (a) To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Interest Rate Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (i) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
