ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Business
ADT Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a leading provider of security, automation, and smart home solutions serving consumer and business customers in the United States (“U.S.”). ADT Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 2015 as a holding company with no assets or liabilities. In July 2015, the Company acquired Protection One, Inc. and ASG Intermediate Holding Corp. (collectively, the “Formation Transactions”), which were instrumental in the commencement of the Company’s operations. In May 2016, the Company acquired The ADT Security Corporation (formerly named The ADT Corporation) (“The ADT Corporation”) (the “ADT Acquisition”). The Company primarily conducts business under the ADT brand name.
In January 2018, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and its common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ADT.”
The Company is majority-owned by Prime Security Services TopCo Parent, L.P. (“Ultimate Parent”). Ultimate Parent is majority-owned by Apollo Investment Fund VIII, L.P. and its related funds that are directly or indirectly managed by Apollo Global Management, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Apollo” or the “Sponsor”).
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Company to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company’s estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or market conditions.
COVID-19 Pandemic
During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”), which has become increasingly widespread in the U.S. Containment efforts and responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic have varied by individuals, businesses, and state and local municipalities, and in certain areas of the U.S., initial and precautionary measures helped mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. However, subsequent easing of such measures resulted in the re-emergence of the coronavirus. The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a notable adverse impact on general economic conditions, including but not limited to the temporary closures of many businesses, increased governmental regulations, and reduced consumer spending due to significant unemployment and other effects attributable to the COVID-19 Pandemic. In order to continue to service customers, the Company has adjusted and is continuously evolving certain aspects of its operations to protect employees and customers, which includes (i) detailed protocols for infectious disease safety for employees, (ii) the implementation of daily wellness checks for employees, and (iii) the implementation of work from home actions, including the majority of the Company’s call center professionals.
The Company considered the emergence and pervasive economic impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic in its assessment of its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and certain accounting estimates as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additional information on the impacted estimates is included in the respective footnotes that follow. Due to the evolving and uncertain nature of the COVID-19 Pandemic, it is possible that the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic could materially impact the Company’s estimates and condensed consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The interim results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for future interim periods or the full year. For a more comprehensive understanding of the Company and its interim results, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual
7

Report”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2020. The Company’s accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements do not differ from those used for the annual consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all the footnote disclosures from the annual consolidated financial statements.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ADT Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
The Company has a single operating and reportable segment based on the manner in which the Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, evaluates performance and makes decisions about how to allocate resources.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are cash and cash equivalents that are restricted for a specific purpose and cannot be included in the general cash and cash equivalents account. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the amount of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total of the same of such amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
(in thousands) September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents $ 489,433  $ 48,736 
Restricted cash and cash equivalents in prepaid expenses and other current assets 1,453  — 
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents at end of period $ 490,886  $ 48,736 
Subscriber System Assets, net and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs, net
The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system as well as incremental selling expenses related to acquiring customers. These costs include equipment, installation costs, and other incremental costs and are recorded in subscriber system assets, net, and deferred subscriber acquisition costs, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets embody a probable future economic benefit as they contribute to the generation of future monitoring and related services revenue for the Company.
Subscriber system assets represent capitalized equipment and installation costs incurred in connection with transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system. Upon customer termination, the Company may retrieve such assets. Depreciation expense relating to subscriber system assets is included in depreciation and intangible asset amortization in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and was $120 million and $142 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $380 million and $423 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The gross carrying amount, accumulated depreciation, and net carrying amount of subscriber system assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows:
(in thousands) September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
Gross carrying amount $ 4,683,816  $ 4,597,908 
Accumulated depreciation (2,034,098) (1,858,612)
Subscriber system assets, net $ 2,649,718  $ 2,739,296 
8

Deferred subscriber acquisition costs represent incremental selling expenses (primarily commissions) related to acquiring customers. Amortization expense relating to deferred subscriber acquisition costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $25 million and $21 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $70 million and $59 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Subscriber system assets and any related deferred subscriber acquisition costs resulting from customer acquisitions are accounted for on a pooled basis based on the month and year of acquisition. The Company depreciates and amortizes its pooled subscriber system assets and related deferred subscriber acquisition costs using an accelerated method over the estimated life of the customer relationship, which is 15 years.
Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
(in thousands) September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
Accrued interest $ 66,992  $ 115,070 
Payroll-related accruals 139,845  91,944 
Other accrued liabilities 359,330  270,352 
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 566,167  $ 477,366 
Radio Conversion Costs
In 2019, the providers of 3G and Code-Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) cellular networks notified the Company that they will be retiring their 3G and CDMA networks during 2022. Accordingly, during 2019 the Company commenced a program to replace the 3G and CDMA cellular equipment used in many of its security systems. The Company estimates the range of net costs for this replacement program at $200 million to $325 million through 2022. The Company expects to incur approximately $50 million to $75 million of net costs during 2020. These ranges are net of any revenue the Company collects from customers associated with these radio replacements and cellular network conversions. The Company seeks to minimize these costs by converting customers during routine service visits whenever possible. The replacement program and pace of replacement are subject to change and may be influenced by the Company’s ability to access customer sites due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, cost-sharing opportunities with suppliers, carriers, and customers, as well as new and innovative technologies.
Radio conversion revenue associated with the replacement program is included in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations while radio conversion costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred $21 million and $12 million of radio conversion costs, respectively, and recognized $8 million and $1 million of incremental radio conversion revenue, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred $50 million and $14 million of radio conversion costs, respectively, and recognized $26 million and $1 million of incremental radio conversion revenue, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, retail installment contract receivables, accounts payable, debt, and derivative financial instruments. Due to their short-term and/or liquid nature, the fair values of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying amounts.
Cash Equivalents - Included in cash and cash equivalents are investments in money market mutual funds, which were $264 million as of September 30, 2020. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019. These investments are classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement, which represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Retail Installment Contract Receivables - The fair value of the Company’s retail installment contract receivables was determined using a discounted cash flow model. The resulting fair value is classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement.

________________
(1)Balances reflected are subsequent to the adoption of CECL (as defined below) on January 1, 2020.
Long-Term Debt Instruments - The fair value of the Company’s debt instruments was determined using broker-quoted market prices, which represent prices based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities as well as other observable market data. The carrying amount of debt outstanding, if any, under the Company’s revolving credit facility and receivables facility approximate fair value as interest rates on these borrowings approximate current market rates. The resulting fair value is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement.
The following table presents the carrying amount and fair value of long-term debt instruments as of the periods presented below:
September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
(in thousands) Carrying

Debt instruments, excluding finance lease obligations $ 9,681,595  $ 10,137,127  $ 9,617,491  $ 10,177,751 
Derivative Financial Instruments - Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These fair values are primarily calculated using discounted cash flow models that utilize observable inputs, such as quoted forward interest rates, and incorporate credit risk adjustments to reflect the risk of default by the counterparty or the Company. The resulting fair value is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement.
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. The Company’s guarantees primarily relate to standby letters of credit related to its insurance programs and totaled $83 million and $47 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company does not believe such obligations will materially affect its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instrument, and related amendments, introduces new guidance which makes substantive changes to the accounting for credit losses. This guidance introduces the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model which applies to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, as well as certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The CECL model requires an entity to estimate credit losses expected over the life of an exposure, considering information about historical events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and is generally expected to result in earlier recognition of credit losses. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit with no restatement of comparative periods. The impact of adoption was not material.
ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is classified as a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis, which will result in capitalized implementation costs being classified in the same line item as the fees associated with the cloud computing service agreement in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, and Cash Flows. The impact of adoption was not material.
ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning on March 12, 2020 and it will apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The impact of adoption was not material.
10

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, provides guidance to ease the potential burden of accounting for convertible instruments, derivatives related to an entity’s own equity, and the related earnings per share considerations. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company intends to early adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2021 and the impact of adoption is not anticipated to be material.
2. Revenue and Receivables
The Company generates revenue primarily through contractual monthly recurring fees received for monitoring and related services provided to customers. In transactions in which the Company provides monitoring and related services but retains ownership of the security system, the Company’s performance obligations primarily include monitoring, related services (such as maintenance agreements), and a material right associated with the non-refundable fees received in connection with the initiation of a monitoring contract (referred to as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue) that the customer will not need to pay upon a renewal of the contract. The portion of the transaction price associated with monitoring and related services revenue is recognized when the services are provided to the customer and is reflected in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Deferred subscriber acquisition revenue is deferred and recorded as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon initiation of a monitoring contract. Deferred subscriber acquisition revenue is amortized on a pooled basis into installation and other revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the estimated life of the customer relationship using an accelerated method consistent with the amortization of subscriber system assets and deferred subscriber acquisition costs associated with the transaction. Amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition revenue was $31 million and $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $90 million and $79 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In transactions involving a security system that is sold outright to the customer, the Company’s performance obligations generally include monitoring, related services, and the sale and installation of the security system. For such arrangements, the Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price, which is determined using observable internal or external pricing and profitability metrics. Revenue associated with the sale and installation of a security system is recognized either at a point in time or over time based upon the nature of the transaction and contractual terms and is reflected in installation and other revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue associated with monitoring and related services is recognized as those services are provided and is reflected in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Customer billings for services not yet rendered are deferred and recognized as revenue as services are provided. These fees are recorded as current deferred revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company expects to satisfy any remaining performance obligations, as well as recognize the related revenue, within the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company has applied the practical expedient regarding deferred revenue to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations if (i) the contract has an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice for services performed.
The following table sets forth the Company’s revenue disaggregated by source:
For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended
(in thousands) September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019
Monitoring and related services $ 1,045,677  $ 1,093,564  $ 3,133,013  $ 3,249,401 
Installation and other 253,247  207,006  867,050  577,973 
Total revenue $ 1,298,924  $ 1,300,570  $ 4,000,063  $ 3,827,374 
Equipment Ownership Model Change
During February 2020, the Company launched a new revenue model initiative for certain residential customers which revised the amount and nature of fees due at installation, introduced a 60 month monitoring contract option, and introduced a new retail installment contract which allows qualifying residential customers to repay the fees due at installation over the course of a 24, 36, or 60 month interest-free period. Due to the requirements of the Company’s initial third-party consumer financing program, the Company also transitioned its security system ownership model from a predominately Company-owned model to a predominately customer-owned model (the “Equipment Ownership Model Change”).
11

During March 2020, the Company entered into an uncommitted receivables securitization financing agreement (the “Receivables Facility”). Under the terms of the Receivables Facility, the Company may receive up to $200 million of financing secured by retail installment contract receivables from transactions involving security systems that were sold under a customer-owned model. During April 2020, the Company amended the Receivables Facility to also permit financing secured by retail installment contract receivables from transactions occurring under the Company-owned model. During May 2020, the Company started to transition its security system ownership model back to a predominately Company-owned model as a result of this amendment.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represent unconditional rights to consideration due from customers in the ordinary course of business and are generally due in one year or less. Accounts receivable are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses that are not expected to be recovered. The allowance for credit losses is recognized at inception and is reassessed each reporting period.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses is evaluated on a pooled basis based on customer type. For each pool of customers, the allowance for credit losses is estimated based on the delinquency status of the underlying receivables and the related historical loss experience, as adjusted for current and expected future conditions, if applicable. The allowance for credit losses was not material for the individual pools of customers for the periods presented.
The changes in the allowance for credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were as follows:
(in thousands)
Balance as of January 1, 2020(1)
$ 42,960 
Provision for credit losses 63,231 
Write-offs, net of recoveries(2)
(41,713)
Balance as of September 30, 2020 $ 64,478 
________________
(1)Balance reflected is subsequent to the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020.
(2)The amount of recoveries was not material for the period presented, as such, the Company presented write-offs, net of recoveries.
Retail Installment Contract Receivables
During February 2020, the Company launched a new retail installment contract which allows qualifying residential customers to repay the fees due at installation over a 24, 36, or 60 month interest-free period. The financing component of a retail installment contract receivable is not significant.
Retail installment contracts are available for residential transactions occurring under either a Company-owned model or a customer-owned model. When originating a retail installment contract, the Company utilizes external credit scores to assess credit quality of a customer and to determine eligibility for the retail installment contract. In addition, a customer is required to enroll in the Company’s automated payment process in order to enter into a retail installment contract. Subsequent to origination, the Company monitors the delinquency status of retail installment contract receivables as the key credit quality indicator. As of September 30, 2020, the amount of current and delinquent billed retail installment contract receivables were not material.
Retail installment contract receivables are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses that are not expected to be recovered. The allowance for credit losses is recognized at inception and is reassessed each reporting period. The allowance for credit losses on retail installment contract receivables was not material for the periods presented.
The following is a summary of unbilled retail installment contract receivables, net, recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the periods presented below:

As of September 30, 2020, $56 million of the Company’s retail installment contract receivables, net, were used as collateral for borrowings under the Receivables Facility. Refer to Note 6 “Debt” for further discussion.
Contract Assets
Contract assets represent rights to consideration in which the Company has transferred goods or services to the customer in the ordinary course of business, however, the Company does not have an unconditional right to such consideration. The contract asset is reclassified to accounts receivable as services are performed and billed, which results in the Company’s unconditional right to the consideration. The Company has the right to bill the customer as service is provided over time, which generally occurs over the course of a 24, 36, or 60 month period.
The Company records an allowance for credit losses against its contract assets for expected credit losses that are not expected to be recovered. The allowance for credit losses is recognized at inception and is reassessed each reporting period. The allowance for credit losses on contract assets was not material for the periods presented.
The following is a summary of contract assets, net, related to residential transactions recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the periods presented below:

The Company recognized approximately $158 million of contract assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
3. Leases
Company as Lessor
The Company is a lessor in certain transactions in which the Company provides monitoring and related services but retains ownership of the security system as the Company has identified a lease component associated with the right-of-use of the security system and a non-lease component associated with monitoring and related services. For transactions in which the timing and pattern of transfer is the same for the lease and non-lease components, and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately, the Company applies the practical expedient to aggregate the lease and non-lease components and accounts for the combined component based upon its predominant characteristic, which is the non-lease component. As a result, the Company accounts for the combined component as a single performance obligation under the applicable revenue guidance and the underlying assets are reflected within subscriber system assets, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
13

Certain of the Company’s transactions do not qualify for the practical expedient as the lease component represents a sales-type lease, and as such, the Company separately accounts for the lease component and non-lease component. The Company’s sales-type leases are not material.
Company as Lessee
The Company leases real estate, vehicles, and equipment with various lease terms and maturities that extend out through 2030 from various counter parties as part of normal operations. The Company applies the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components and accounts for the combined component as a lease. Additionally, the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities include leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less.
The Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities primarily represent (a) lease payments that are fixed at the commencement of a lease and (b) variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate. Lease payments are recognized as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is determined as the non-cancelable period, periods in which termination options are reasonably certain of not being exercised, and periods in which renewal options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The discount rate for a lease is determined using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate that coincides with the lease term at the commencement of a lease. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated based on publicly available data for the Company’s debt instruments and other instruments with similar characteristics.
Lease payments that are not fixed or that are not dependent on an index or rate and vary because of changes in usage or other factors are included in variable lease costs. Variable lease costs, which primarily relate to fuel, repair, and maintenance payments that vary based on the usage of leased vehicles, are recorded in the period in which the obligation is incurred.
The Company’s leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company’s subleases are not material.
The following table presents the amounts reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to operating and finance leases as of the periods presented below:

4. Acquisitions
Defenders Acquisition
During January 2020, the Company acquired Defender Holdings, Inc. (“Defenders”) (the “Defenders Acquisition”), which represented the acquisition of the Company’s largest independent dealer, for total consideration of approximately $290 million, which consisted of cash paid of $173 million, net of cash acquired, and the issuance of approximately 16 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, (“Common Stock”) with a fair value of $114 million.
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation of the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of the date of acquisition:

The purchase price allocation reflects preliminary fair value estimates based on management analysis, including preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists. The Company will finalize the purchase price allocation no later than one
15

year from the acquisition date. The acquired contracts and related customer relationships are amortized over 14 years. The Company recorded approximately $254 million of goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes, and reflects the strategic value and expected synergies of Defenders to the Company. Additionally, the Company allocated the goodwill recognized as a result of the Defenders Acquisition to the U.S. reporting unit.
In connection with the Defenders Acquisition, the Company settled a pre-existing relationship with Defenders related to customer accounts purchased from Defenders prior to the Defenders Acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded a charge in the amount of $81 million to merger, restructuring, integration, and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and reflected the associated cash payment as cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Other Acquisitions
In addition to the Defenders Acquisition, the Company paid $9 million, net of cash acquired, related to other business acquisitions, which resulted in the recognition of $3 million of goodwill, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Definite-lived intangible asset amortization expense $ 305,824  $ 315,732  $ 918,187  $ 933,260 
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are tested for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each year and more often if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicate it is more-likely-than-not that fair value is less than carrying amount.
Goodwill
As a result of the macroeconomic decline due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company quantitatively tested the goodwill associated with its reporting units for impairment as of March 31, 2020.
Under the quantitative approach, the Company estimated the fair value of each reporting unit and compared it to its carrying amount. The fair values of the reporting units were determined using the income approach, which discounts projected cash flows using market participant assumptions. The income approach included significant assumptions including, but not limited to, forecasted revenue, operating profit margins, operating expenses, cash flows, perpetual growth rates, and long-term discount rates. In developing these assumptions, the Company relied on various factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and other market data.
Based on the results of the tests, the Company did not record any goodwill impairment losses associated with its reporting units. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the assumptions made in connection with the Company’s goodwill impairment assessments could be impacted in the future as a result of the evolving and uncertain nature of economic conditions. As a result, the Company’s reporting units are considered at risk of future impairment. If the Company’s assumptions are not realized, or if there are changes in any of the assumptions in the future due to a change in economic conditions, it is possible that an impairment charge may need to be recorded in the future.

__________________
N/A—Not applicable
Significant changes in the Company’s debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were as follows:
First Lien Credit Agreement
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had an available borrowing capacity of $400 million under a first lien revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Revolving Credit Facility”), with no borrowings outstanding.
Second Lien Notes due 2028
During January 2020, the Company issued $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.250% second-priority senior secured notes due 2028 (the “Second Lien Notes due 2028”). The proceeds from the Second Lien Notes due 2028, along with cash on hand and borrowings under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility, were used to redeem the outstanding $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 9.250% second-priority senior secured notes due 2023 (the “Prime Notes”) and pay any related fees and expenses, including the call premium on the outstanding Prime Notes. The deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Second Lien Notes due 2028 were not material.
The Second Lien Notes due 2028 are due at maturity and may be redeemed at the Company’s option as follows:
•Prior to January 15, 2023, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, (a) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2028 redeemed, plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest as of, but excluding, the redemption date or (b) for up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2028 and in an aggregate amount equal to the net cash proceeds of any equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 106.250%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, so long as at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2028 shall remain outstanding after each such redemption.
•On or after January 15, 2023, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 103.125% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2028 redeemed and accrued and unpaid interest as of, but excluding, the redemption date. The redemption price decreases to 101.563% on or after January 15, 2024 and decreases to 100% on or after January 15, 2025.
18

The Company’s obligations relating to the Second Lien Notes due 2028 are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured second-priority basis, by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantees its First Lien Credit Agreement and by each of the Company’s future domestic subsidiaries that guarantees certain of the Company’s debt. The Second Lien Notes due 2028 and the related guarantees are secured by second-priority security interests in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets owned by the issuers and each guarantor, subject to certain permitted liens and exceptions. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Company must offer to repurchase the Second Lien Notes due 2028 at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The indenture governing the Second Lien Notes due 2028 also provides for customary events of default.
Prime Notes
The indenture underlying the outstanding $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of the Prime Notes was discharged during January 2020 and the Prime Notes were redeemed during February 2020 for a total redemption price of approximately $1.3 billion, which included the related call premium.
Receivables Facility
During March 2020, the Company entered into the Receivables Facility. Under the terms of the Receivables Facility, the Company may receive up to $200 million of financing secured by retail installment contract receivables from transactions involving security systems that were sold under a customer-owned model. During April 2020, the Company amended the Receivables Facility to also permit financing secured by retail installment contract receivables from transactions occurring under a Company-owned model. The Receivables Facility has a one year revolving period until March 5, 2021, which may be extended, and bears interest at a variable rate. If the revolving period is not extended, the Company is required to repay the Receivables Facility in a manner consistent with the contractual collections of the underlying retail installment contract receivables. The Company may make voluntary prepayments on the Receivables Facility at any time prior to maturity at par.
The Company obtains financing by selling or contributing certain retail installment contract receivables to the Company’s wholly-owned consolidated bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (the “SPE”), which, pursuant to the Receivables Facility, borrows funds secured by the transferred retail installment contract receivables. The SPE is a separate legal entity with its own creditors who will be entitled, prior to and upon the liquidation of the SPE, to be satisfied out of the SPE’s assets prior to any assets in the SPE becoming available to the Company (other than the SPE). Accordingly, the assets of the SPE are not available to pay creditors of the Company (other than the SPE), although collections from the transferred retail installment contract receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the SPE’s creditors may be remitted to the Company during and after the term of the Receivables Facility. The SPE’s creditors have legal recourse to the transferred retail installment contract receivables owned by the SPE, but do not have any recourse to the Company (other than the SPE) for the payment of principal and interest on the SPE’s financing.
The Company services the transferred retail installment contract receivables and is responsible for ensuring that amounts collected from the transferred retail installment contract receivables are remitted to the SPE. The Company is required to deposit payments received from the transferred retail installment contract receivables into a segregated account maintained by a third party. On a monthly basis, the segregated account is utilized to make required principal, interest, and other payments due under the Receivables Facility. The segregated account is considered restricted cash and is reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Borrowings under the Receivables Facility along with the transferred retail installment contract receivables are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Borrowings and repayments under the Receivables Facility are reflected as cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $44 million under the Receivables Facility and repaid $2 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had an outstanding balance of $41 million and an uncommitted available borrowing capacity of $159 million under the Receivables Facility. The Receivables Facility did not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Variable Interest Entity
The SPE, as described above, meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has the power to direct the SPE’s activities and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the SPE. As such, the assets, liabilities and financial results of operations of the SPE are consolidated in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2020, the SPE’s assets and liabilities primarily consisted of unbilled retail installment contract receivables, net, of $56 million and borrowings under the Receivables Facility of $41 million.

First Lien Notes due 2027
During August 2020, the Company issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.375% first-priority senior secured notes due 2027 (the “First Lien Notes due 2027”). The proceeds from the First Lien Notes due 2027, along with cash on hand, were used to redeem the outstanding $1 billion aggregate principal amount of the 6.250% notes due 2021 issued by The ADT Corporation (the “ADT Notes due 2021”), pay accrued and unpaid interest on the ADT Notes due 2021, and pay any related fees and expenses, including the call premium on the ADT Notes due 2021. The deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the First Lien Notes due 2027 were not material.
The First Lien Notes due 2027 are due at maturity and may be redeemed at the Company’s option as follows:
•Prior to August 31, 2026, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.
•On or after August 31, 2026, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the First Lien Notes due 2027 redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.
The Company’s obligations relating to the First Lien Notes due 2027 are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured first-priority basis, by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantees its First Lien Credit Agreement and by each of the Company’s future domestic subsidiaries that guarantees certain of the Company’s debt. The First Lien Notes due 2027 and the related guarantees are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets owned by the issuers and each guarantor, subject to certain permitted liens and exceptions. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Company must offer to repurchase the First Lien Notes due 2027 at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The indenture governing the First Lien Notes due 2027 also provides for customary events of default.
ADT Notes
In September 2020, the Company redeemed $1 billion aggregate principal amount of the ADT Notes due 2021 for a total repurchase price of approximately $1.1 billion, which included the related call premium.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, loss on extinguishment of debt totaled $115 million and included $66 million associated with the call premium and write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with the $1.2 billion redemption of the Prime Notes in February 2020 and $49 million associated with the call premium and write-off of unamortized fair value adjustments in connection with the $1 billion redemption of the ADT Notes due 2021 in September 2020.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, loss on extinguishment of debt totaled $103 million and included (i) $22 million associated with the call premium and the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with the $300 million partial redemption of the Prime Notes in February 2019, (ii) $61 million associated with the call premium and partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with the $1 billion partial redemption of the Prime Notes in April 2019, (iii) $6 million associated with the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discount in connection with the $500 million repayment of the First Lien Term B-1 Loan in April 2019, and (iv) $13 million associated with the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discount in connection with the amendment and restatement to the First Lien Credit Agreement in September 2019.
7. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company's derivative financial instruments primarily consist of LIBOR-based interest rate swap contracts, which were entered into with the objective of managing exposure to variability in interest rates on the Company's debt. All interest rate swap contracts are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. For the interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the interest rate swap contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reclassified into interest expense, net, in the same period in which the related interest on debt affects earnings. For interest rate swap contracts that have been de-designated as cash flow hedges, the amounts recognized as a component of AOCI are reclassified into interest expense, net, in the same period in which the related interest on variable-rate debt affects earnings through the original maturity date of the related interest rate swap contracts as the forecasted cash flows are probable of occurring. Additionally, the changes in fair value for de-designated interest rate swap contracts are recognized in interest
20

expense, net. The interest rate swap contracts entered into during October 2019 included a significant financing component at inception, and as such, the related cash flows are reflected in cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
As a result of changes in the interest rate environment in response to macroeconomic decline, the Company's interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $3 billion were no longer highly effective beginning in March 2020. Accordingly, the Company de-designated the cash flow hedges and the changes in fair value for the period in which these cash flow hedges were no longer highly effective were recognized in interest expense, net. Amounts recognized as a component of AOCI prior to de-designation will be reclassified into interest expense, net, in the same period in which the related interest on variable-rate debt affects earnings through the maturity dates of the interest rate swap contracts as the forecasted cash flows are probable of occurring.
Below is a summary of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts as of September 30, 2020 (in thousands):
Execution Maturity Designation Notional Amount
January 2019 April 2022 Not designated $ 125,000 
February 2019 April 2022 Not designated 300,000 
October 2019 September 2026 Not designated 2,800,000 
Total notional amount $ 3,225,000 
The changes in fair value of interest rate swap contracts recognized in interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were a gain of $8 million and a loss of $1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and losses of $90 million and $9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The interest rate swap contracts did not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts and related classification in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented were as follows:
(in thousands) September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 65,031  $ 15,334 
Other liabilities 240,035  68,884 
Fair value of interest rate swaps $ 305,066  $ 84,218 
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, AOCI, net of tax, related to cash flow hedges was $135 million and $59 million, respectively.
8. Equity
During September 2020, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, (“Class B Common Stock”) as well as to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share, to 1,000,000.
The Class B Common Stock represents a new class of common stock of the Company. Each share of Class B Common Stock has equal status and rights to dividends with a share of Common Stock. The holders of Class B Common Stock have one vote for each share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally; provided, however, that holders of Class B Common Stock, as such, are not entitled to vote on the election, appointment, or removal of directors of the Company. Additionally, each share of Class B Common Stock will immediately become convertible into one share of Common Stock, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time following the earlier of (i) the expiration or early termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR Clearance”), required prior to such holder’s conversion of all such shares of Class B Common Stock, and (ii) to the extent HSR Clearance is not required prior to such holder’s conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock, the date that such holder owns such shares of Class B Common Stock.
Issuance of Common Stock
During January 2020, the Company issued approximately 16 million shares of Common Stock with a fair value of $114 million in connection with the Defenders Acquisition.
21

Issuance of Class B Common Stock
During September 2020, the Company issued and sold 54,744,525 shares of Class B Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $450 million to Google LLC (“Google”) in a private placement pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated July 31, 2020 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). As of the date of closing, Google held approximately 6.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis. Prior to closing, the Securities Purchase Agreement provided Google with the option to purchase additional shares of Class B Common Stock, for the same price per share, up to 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis. Google did not exercise this option. The proceeds received will be used to reduce debt and fund growth over time.
In connection with the issuance of the Class B Common Stock, the Company and Google entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Google agreed to be bound by customary transfer restrictions and drag-along rights, and be afforded customary registration rights with respect to shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by Google. Under the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, Google is prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from transferring any shares of Class B Common Stock or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by Google until the earlier of (i) the three-year anniversary of issuance, (ii) the date on which the Commercial Agreement (as subsequently defined) has been terminated under certain specified circumstances, and (iii) June 30, 2022 if the Company breaches certain of its obligations under the Commercial Agreement.
The Company estimated the fair value of the issued Class B Common Stock to be approximately $450 million, which represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. The estimation of the fair value included the following inputs: (i) the price per share of Common Stock, (ii) the length of the holding period restriction, (iii) an expected dividend-yield of 1.5% during the holding period restriction, which was based on the projected dividend run-rate and dividing by the stock price, and (iv) an expected share price volatility of 30% during the holding period restriction period, which was implied based upon an average of historical volatility of publicly traded companies in industries similar to the Company as well as consideration for the Company’s debt to equity ratio. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature related to the ability to convert Class B Common Stock to Common Stock as well as the fair value of Google’s option to purchase additional shares of Class B Common Stock were not material.
Commercial Agreement
Concurrently with the issuance and sale of Class B Common Stock to Google, the Company and Google entered into a Master Supply, Distribution, and Marketing Agreement (the “Commercial Agreement”), pursuant to which Google has agreed to supply the Company with certain Google devices as well as certain Google video and analytics services (“Google Services”), for sale to the Company’s customers. Subject to customary termination rights related to breach and change of control, the Commercial Agreement has an initial term of seven years from the date that the Google Service is successfully integrated into the Company’s end-user security and automation platform, which is targeted for no later than June 30, 2022. Further, subject to certain carveouts, the Company has agreed to exclusively sell Google end‐user video and sensing analytics services and smart-home, security and safety devices to the Company’s customers; the exclusivity does not apply to, among others, the Company’s Blue by ADT DIY products and services, certain legacy platforms of the Company, sales of wholesale monitoring services, sales to large commercial customers, and certain devices that Google does not supply to the Company.
The Commercial Agreement specifies that each party will contribute $150 million towards the joint marketing of devices and services, customer acquisition, training of the Company’s employees for the sales, installation, customer service, and maintenance for the product and service offerings, and technology updates for products included in such offerings. Each party will contribute such funds in three equal tranches, subject to the attainment of certain milestones.
Dividends
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company declared the following dividends on common stock:
Declaration Date Record Date Payment Date Common Stock Dividend per Share Class B Common Stock Dividend per Share
March 5, 2020 March 19, 2020 April 2, 2020 $0.035 $—
May 7, 2020 June 18, 2020 July 2, 2020 $0.035 $—
August 5, 2020 September 18, 2020 October 2, 2020 $0.035 $0.035
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company declared dividends of $0.035 per share on Common Stock ($27 million) and $0.035 per share on Class B Common Stock ($2 million). The amount of dividends settled in shares of Common Stock during the period was not material.
22

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company declared dividends of $0.035 per share on Common Stock ($26 million), of which $3 million represents the portion of the dividends settled in cash and $23 million represents the portion of the dividends settled in shares of Common Stock, which resulted in the issuance of approximately 4 million shares of Common Stock, on October 2, 2019.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company declared aggregate dividends of $0.105 per share on Common Stock ($81 million) and $0.035 per share on Class B Common Stock ($2 million). The amount of dividends settled in shares of Common Stock during the period was not material.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company declared aggregate dividends of $0.105 per share on Common Stock ($79 million). When including the October 2, 2019 payment date, approximately $11 million represents the portion of the dividends settled in cash and $68 million represents the portion of the dividends settled in shares of Common Stock, which resulted in the issuance of 11 million shares of Common Stock.
On November 5, 2020, the Company announced a dividend of $0.035 per share to holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of record on December 21, 2020, which will be distributed on January 4, 2021.
Share Repurchase Program
In February 2019, the Company approved a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), which permits the Company to repurchase up to $150 million of the Company’s shares of Common Stock through February 27, 2021. On March 23, 2020, the Company approved an increase of $75 million, inclusive of the amount then remaining under the Share Repurchase Program, in the authorized repurchase amount and an extension of the Share Repurchase Program through March 23, 2021.
The Company may effect these repurchases pursuant to one or more trading plans to be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 (each, a “10b5-1 plan”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), in privately negotiated transactions, in open market transactions, or pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase program. The Company intends to conduct the Share Repurchase Program in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were no material repurchases of shares of Common Stock under the Share Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $75 million remaining in the Share Repurchase Program.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 24 million shares of Common Stock for approximately $150 million. There were no share repurchases during the three months ended September 30, 2019. All of the shares repurchased were treated as retirements and reduced the number of shares issued and outstanding. In addition, the Company recorded the excess of the purchase price over the par value per share as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reclassified $15 million and $31 million, respectively, of AOCI to interest expense, net, and $4 million and $8 million, respectively, of AOCI to income tax benefit associated with cash flow hedges. There were no material reclassification adjustments associated with cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
As of September 30, 2020, approximately $66 million of AOCI associated with cash flow hedges is estimated to be reclassified to interest expense, net, within the next twelve months.
9. Share-based Compensation
Share-based compensation expense totaled $26 million and $19 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $75 million and $65 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company granted approximately 12 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). These RSUs are service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant. The fair value of the RSUs is equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which resulted in a weighted-average grant date fair value of $5.95.
23

Options
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company granted approximately 9 million options under the 2018 Plan. These options are service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant and have an exercise price equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which resulted in a weight-average exercise price of $5.31, and a contractual term of ten years from the grant date.
The grant date fair values of options granted under the 2018 Plan were determined using the Black-Scholes valuation approach with the following assumptions:
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
Risk-free interest rate
0.51% - 1.40%
Expected exercise term (years) 6.0
Expected dividend yield
2.2% - 2.7%
Expected volatility
45% - 46%
The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury bonds with a zero-coupon rate. The Company did not have sufficient historical exercise data, and, as such, the Company leveraged estimates from prior option valuations as its best estimate of expected exercise term. The dividend yield was calculated by taking the annual dividend run-rate and dividing by the stock price at date of grant. The stock price volatility was implied based upon an average of historical volatility of publicly traded companies in industries similar to the Company, as the Company did not have sufficient history to use as a basis for actual stock price volatility, as well as consideration for the Company’s debt to equity ratio.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the weighted-average grant date fair value for options granted was $1.77.
10. Net (Loss) Income Per Share
The Company applies the two-class method for computing and presenting net (loss) income per share for each class of common stock. The two-class method allocates current period net (loss) income to each class of common stock and participating securities based on (i) dividends declared and (ii) participation rights in the remaining undistributed (losses) earnings.
Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) income allocated to each class of common stock using the two-class method by the related weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all securities representing potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period for each class of common stock. Potential shares of Common Stock include (i) incremental shares of Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation awards and (ii) shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock. Potential shares of Class B Common Stock include (i) incremental shares of Class B Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method for the period in which the Securities Purchase Agreement was outstanding prior to closing and (ii) incremental shares of Class B Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method for Google’s option to purchase additional shares of Class B Common Stock prior to closing.
For purposes of the diluted net loss per share of Common Stock computation, all potential shares of Common Stock that would be dilutive were excluded because their effect would be anti-dilutive. As a result, basic net loss per share of Common Stock is equal to diluted net loss per share of Common Stock for the periods presented.
24

The computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for each class of common stock for the periods presented was as follows:
For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended

11. Income Taxes
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not have a material change to its unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits relate to tax years that remain subject to audit by the taxing authorities in the U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign jurisdictions. Based on the current status of its income tax audits, the Company does not believe that a significant portion of its unrecognized tax benefits will be resolved in the next twelve months.
Effective Tax Rate
The Company’s income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $28 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 19.7%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 2.5%, and a 3.9% unfavorable impact from non-deductible charges primarily due to the Defenders Acquisition.
Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $36 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 16.7%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal income tax rate of 21.0%, a 21.9% unfavorable impact from valuation allowances established on the net capital losses generated in the U.S. and Canada related to the sale of the Company’s Canadian operations, a 5.6% unfavorable impact from non-deductible goodwill impairment loss, offset by a 20.7% favorable impact from net capital losses generated in the U.S. and Canada related to the sale of the Company’s Canadian operations, and a 4.6% favorable impact from amendments to prior year tax returns.
The Company’s income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $133 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 20.4%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 2.9%, a 3.0% unfavorable impact from non-deductible charges primarily due to the Defenders Acquisition, and a 1.2% unfavorable impact from an increase in valuation allowances primarily due to tax credits not expected to be utilized prior to expiration.
Income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $82 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 18.8%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal income tax rate of 21.0%, an 11.0% unfavorable impact from valuation allowances established on the net capital losses generated in the U.S. and Canada related to the sale of the Company’s Canadian operations, a 2.8% unfavorable impact from non-deductible goodwill impairment loss, offset by a 10.4% favorable impact from net capital losses generated in the U.S. and Canada related to the sale of the Company’s Canadian operations, and a 2.3% favorable impact from amendments to prior year tax returns.
25

The effective tax rate can vary from period to period due to permanent tax adjustments, discrete items such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors such as changes in the overall state tax rate.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law during March 2020 and included significant corporate income tax and payroll tax provisions aimed to provide economic relief to address the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Company is continuing to assess these corporate tax provisions and has recognized favorable cash flow impacts related to the accelerated refund of previously generated alternative minimum tax credits, as well as from the deferral of remittance of certain 2020 payroll taxes, with 50% of the deferred amount due by the end of 2021, and the remainder due by the end of 2022. The Company also expects to benefit from an increase in the interest expense limitation from 30% to 50% for tax years 2019 and 2020.
In addition, states have begun proposing and enacting legislation to address the unfavorable financial impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic, which includes tax rate changes, decoupling from favorable federal legislation under the CARES Act (such as an increased interest expense limitation from 30% to 50%), and limiting the use of net operating losses. As of September 30, 2020, there has been no material impact to the Company from these state legislative changes. However, the Company expects the trend to continue through the remainder of 2020 and these changes could have material impacts to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. The Company will continue to assess the impacts as states finalize and enact these legislative changes.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations
Except for certain commitments pursuant to the Commercial Agreement, there have been no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations as compared to December 31, 2019.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, which include contractual disputes; worker’s compensation; employment matters; product, general, and auto liability claims; claims that the Company has infringed on the intellectual property rights of others; claims related to alleged security system failures; and consumer and employment class actions. The Company is also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information requests and subpoenas, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. In connection with such formal and informal inquiries, the Company receives numerous requests, subpoenas, and orders for documents, testimony, and information in connection with various aspects of its activities.
The Company records accruals for losses that are probable and reasonably estimable. These accruals are based on a variety of factors such as judgment, probability of loss, opinions of internal and external legal counsel, and actuarially determined estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported based upon historical claims experience. Legal costs in connection with claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business are expensed as incurred. Additionally, the Company records insurance recovery receivables from third-party insurers when recovery has been determined to be probable.
The Company’s accrual for ongoing claims and lawsuits not within scope of an insurance program was not material and in most cases the Company has not accrued for any losses as the ultimate outcome or the range of possible loss cannot be estimated. The Company’s accrual for ongoing claims and lawsuits within scope of an insurance program totaled $114 million and $105 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Environmental Matters
In October 2013, the Company was notified by subpoena that the Office of the Attorney General of California, in conjunction with the Alameda County District Attorney, is investigating whether the Company’s electronic waste disposal policies, procedures, and practices are in violation of the California Business and Professions Code and the California Health and Safety Code. During 2016, Protection One, Inc. was also notified by the same parties that it was subject to a similar investigation. The investigations have been inactive since December 2016 other than a status conference conducted in May 2019. The Company is coordinating joint handling of both investigations and continues to fully cooperate with the respective authorities.

Shareholder Litigation
Five substantially similar shareholder class action lawsuits related to the IPO in January 2018 were filed in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida in March, April, and May 2018 and were consolidated for discovery and trial and entitled In re ADT Inc. Shareholder Litigation. The consolidated complaint in that action asserts claims on behalf of a putative class of shareholder plaintiffs and sought to represent a class of similarly situated shareholders for alleged violations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The complaint alleges that the Company defendants violated the Securities Act because the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate the IPO were false and misleading in that they allegedly misled investors with respect to litigation involving the Company, the Company’s efforts to protect its intellectual property, and the competitive pressures faced by the Company. A similar shareholder class action lawsuit entitled Perdomo v ADT Inc., also related to the IPO in January 2018, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in May 2018. In September 2019, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle both the state court and the federal court actions. In connection with the agreement, the plaintiffs in the Perdomo action voluntarily dismissed the action without prejudice in October 2019. The parties agreed to a Stipulation of Settlement in September 2020, subject to approval by the State Court. In October 2020, the State Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement, providing for notice to settlement class members, and setting the date for a final approval hearing in January 2021.
California Independent Contractor Litigation
In August 2017, Jabra Shuheiber filed civil litigation in Marin County Superior Court on behalf of himself and two other individuals asserting wage and hour violations against the Company. The action is entitled Jabra Shuheiber v. ADT, LLC (Case Number CV 1702912, Superior Court, Marin County). Mr. Shuheiber was the owner/operator of a sub-contractor, Maximum Protection, Inc. (“MPI”), who employed the other two plaintiffs in the litigation. In August 2018, in response to the California Supreme Court’s decision in Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County, counsel for Mr. Shuheiber provided the Company with a proposed amended complaint that modified the wage and hour claims such that they were brought on a class basis. The proposed class is not clearly defined but appears to be composed of two groups of individuals: 1) individual owners of sub-contractors who performed services for the sub-contractor; and 2) individuals with no ownership interest in a sub-contractor who were employed by the sub-contractor and provided services pursuant to a contract between the sub-contractor and the Company. In October 2018, the Company answered the plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint and filed a cross-complaint against the plaintiffs’ sub-contracting company for indemnification pursuant to the term of ADT’s sub-contract. In November 2019, the parties reached a settlement agreement in principle. The settlement has been documented and received preliminary approval from the court in July 2020.
Los Angeles Alarm Permit Class Action
In June 2013, the Company was served with a class action complaint in California State Court entitled Villegas v. ADT. In this complaint, the plaintiff asserted that the Company violated certain provisions of the California Alarm Act and the Los Angeles Municipal Alarm Ordinance for its alleged failures to obtain alarm permits for its Los Angeles customers and disclose the alarm permit fee in its customer contracts. The plaintiff seeks to recover damages for putative class members who were required to pay enhanced false alarm fines as a result of the Company not obtaining a valid alarm permit at the time of alarm system installation. The case was initially dismissed by the trial court and judgment was entered in the Company’s favor in October 2014, which the plaintiff appealed. In September 2016, the California Appellate Court reversed and remanded the case back to the trial court. In November 2018, the trial court granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification and certified four subclasses of customers who received fines from the City of Los Angeles. The parties reached a settlement agreement in principle in January 2020. The settlement has been documented and a hearing on the parties’ motion for preliminary settlement approval and class certification has been scheduled for January 2021.
Wage and Hour Class Action
In January 2020, the Company acquired Defenders, which is defending against litigation brought by Teddy Archer and seven other security advisors who claim unpaid overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), breach of contract under state law in all states, and a violation of state wage-hour laws in California, New Jersey, New York, and Washington. The lawsuit was originally filed in March 2018 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. During 2018, the court conditionally certified the case as an FLSA collective action. The plaintiffs seek to represent a nationwide class for unpaid wages. The parties are actively engaged in discovery.
Unauthorized Access by a Former Technician
In April 2020, after investigating a customer inquiry, the Company self-disclosed that a former technician based in Dallas, Texas had, during service visits, added his personal email address to 220 of the Company’s customers’ accounts, which provided this employee with varying levels of unauthorized personal access to such customers’ in-home security systems. In
27

response, the Company initiated an affirmative outreach effort to notify all customers affected by this activity and to address their concerns. Since the disclosure, three lawsuits have been filed against the Company.
In May 2020, the Company was served with a class action complaint in a case captioned Shana Doty v. ADT LLC and filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. By an amended complaint, the plaintiff asserts causes of action on behalf of herself and other Company customers similarly situated, and seeks to recover damages for breach of contract, negligence, intrusion upon seclusion, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, negligent hiring, supervision and retention, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The Company moved to dismiss the plaintiff’s amended complaint. The court has not ruled on the motion.
In June 2020, the Company was served with a class action complaint in a case captioned Alexia Preddy v. ADT LLC and filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. By an amended complaint, the plaintiff asserts causes of action on behalf of herself and others similarly situated as individuals residing in homes of Company customers, and seeks to recover damages for negligence, intrusion upon seclusion, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, negligent hiring, supervision and retention, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The Company moved to dismiss the plaintiff’s amended complaint and to compel arbitration. The court has not ruled on the motions.
The Company was also served with a complaint filed in Texas state court by an individual Company customer and may be subject to future legal claims.
13. Related Party Transactions
The Company’s related party transactions primarily relate to management, consulting, and transaction advisory services provided by Apollo, as well as monitoring and related services provided to or products and services received from other entities controlled by Apollo. There were no significant related party transactions for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
During October 2020, the Company entered into a master services agreement with Rackspace US, Inc., a related party, for the provision of cloud storage, equipment, and services to facilitate the implementation of the Company’s cloud migration strategy for certain applications. The master services agreement includes a minimum purchase commitment of $50 million over a 7 year term.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements, and the related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”), which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2020, to enhance the understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations, and financial performance based on current plans and estimates that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q titled “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
OVERVIEW
ADT Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”, and “ADT”), is a leading provider of security, automation, and smart home solutions serving consumer and business customers in the United States (“U.S.”). We offer many ways to help protect customers by providing 24/7 professional monitoring services as well as delivering lifestyle-driven solutions via professionally installed, do-it-yourself (“DIY”), mobile, and digital-based offerings for consumer, small business, and larger commercial customers. 
Our security and automation offerings involve the installation and monitoring of security and premises automation systems designed to detect intrusion; control access; sense movement, smoke, fire, carbon monoxide, flooding, temperature, and other environmental conditions and hazards; and address personal emergencies, such as injuries, medical emergencies, or incapacitation. Our products and services include interactive and smart home solutions which allow our customers to remotely monitor and manage their residential and commercial environments. Depending on the service plan and type of product
28

installation, customers are able to remotely access information regarding the security of their residential or commercial environment, arm and disarm their security systems, adjust lighting or thermostat levels, monitor and react to defined events, or view real-time video from cameras covering different areas of their premises from web-enabled devices (such as smart phones, laptops, and tablet computers) and a customized web portal. Additionally, our interactive and smart home solutions enable customers to create customized and automated schedules for managing lights, thermostats, appliances, garage doors, cameras, and other connected devices. These systems can also be programmed to perform additional functions such as recording and viewing live video and sending text messages or other alerts based on triggering events or conditions.
As part of our innovative and dynamic growth markets, we are extending the concept of security from the physical home or business to personal on-the-go security and safety and cybersecurity. Customers’ increasingly mobile and active lifestyles have created new opportunities for us in the fast-growing market for self-monitored DIY products and mobile technology. Our technology also allows us to integrate with various third-party connected and wearable devices so that we can service our customers whether they are at home or on-the-go.
As of September 30, 2020, we served approximately 6.5 million recurring customers, excluding contracts monitored but not owned. We are one of the largest full-service companies with a national footprint and we deliver an integrated customer experience by maintaining the industry’s largest sales, installation, and service field force, as well as a 24/7 professional monitoring network.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
All financial information presented in this section has been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and includes the accounts of ADT Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. We report financial and operating information in one segment.
FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATING RESULTS
Our subscriber-based business requires significant upfront investment to generate new customers, which in turn provides predictable recurring revenue generated from our monitoring and other services. In order to optimize returns on customer acquisitions and cash flow generation, we focus on the following key drivers of our business: best-in-class customer service; customer retention; disciplined, high-quality customer additions; efficient customer acquisition; and costs incurred to provide ongoing services to customers.
Our ability to add new subscribers depends on the overall demand for our products and services, which is driven by a number of external factors. The overall economic condition in the geographies in which we operate can impact our ability to attract new customers and grow our business in all customer channels. Growth in our residential customer base can be influenced by the overall state of the housing market. Growth in our commercial customer base can be influenced by the rate at which new businesses begin operations or existing businesses grow. The demand for our products and services is also impacted by the perceived threat of crime, as well as the quality of the service of our competitors.
The monthly fees that we generate from any individual customer vary based on the level of service provided and customer tenure. We offer a wide range of services at various price points from basic burglar alarm monitoring to our full suite of interactive services. Our ability to increase monthly fees at the individual customer level depends on a number of factors, including our ability to effectively introduce and market additional features and services that increase the value of our offerings to customers, which we believe drives customers to purchase higher levels of service and supports our ability to make periodic adjustments to pricing.
A portion of our customer base can be expected to cancel its service every year. Customers may choose not to renew or may terminate their contracts for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, relocation, cost, loss to competition, or service issues. Attrition has a direct impact on our financial results, including revenue, operating income, and cash flows.
COVID-19 Pandemic
During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”), which has become increasingly widespread in the U.S. Containment efforts and responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic have varied by individuals, businesses, and state and local municipalities, and in certain areas of the U.S, initial and precautionary measures helped mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. However, subsequent easing of such measures resulted in the re-emergence of the coronavirus. The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a notable adverse impact on general economic conditions, including but not limited to the temporary closures of many businesses, increased governmental regulations, and reduced consumer spending due to significant unemployment and other effects attributable to the COVID-19 Pandemic. In order to continue to service our customers, we have adjusted and are continuously evolving certain aspects of our
29

operations to protect employees and customers, which includes (i) detailed protocols for infectious disease safety for employees, (ii) the implementation of daily wellness checks for employees, and (iii) the implementation of work from home actions, including the majority of our call center professionals.
While the COVID-19 Pandemic has impacted our commercial channel to a greater extent than our residential channel, we believe our overall recurring revenue and highly variable subscriber acquisition cost model provides a solid financial foundation for strong cash flow generation. Accordingly, we anticipate having sufficient liquidity and capital resources to continue (1) providing essential services, (2) satisfying our debt requirements, and (3) having the ability to return capital to our stockholders in the form of a regular quarterly dividend during the current challenging macroeconomic environment and the slowdown brought on by the COVID-19 Pandemic. We have not sought or requested government assistance as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, but we do expect to recognize favorable cash flows and other benefits associated with certain income tax and payroll tax provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). While we have incurred additional costs associated with personal protective equipment for our employees and work from home actions, we also instituted various temporary cost control measures. Furthermore, we believe the economic downturn, the recent civil unrest, and continued economic and COVID-19 Pandemic uncertainties increase awareness of the need for security, which together with an anticipated lower volume of customer relocations and the utilization of temporary pricing and retention initiatives for existing customers, may help counterbalance any increase in gross customer revenue attrition that we may experience as a result of reduced consumer or business spending caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Finally, we may see opportunities for additional acquisitions, continued investment in potential new revenue streams or capabilities, and low cost bulk account purchases.
We considered the emergence and pervasive economic impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic in our assessment of our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and certain accounting estimates as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Due to the evolving and uncertain nature of the COVID-19 Pandemic, it is possible that the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic could materially impact our estimates and condensed consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
Radio Conversion Costs
The providers of 3G and Code-Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) cellular networks have notified us that they will be retiring their 3G and CDMA networks during 2022. Accordingly, during 2019 we commenced a program to replace the 3G and CDMA cellular equipment used in many of our security systems. We continue to estimate the range of net costs for this replacement program at $200 million to $325 million through 2022, of which we have incurred $49 million through September 30, 2020. We expect to incur $50 million to $75 million of net costs during 2020, of which we have incurred $24 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These amounts and ranges are net of any revenue we collect from customers associated with these radio replacements and cellular network conversions. We seek to minimize these costs by converting customers during routine service visits whenever possible. The replacement program and pace of replacement are subject to change and may be influenced by our ability to access customer sites due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, cost-sharing opportunities with suppliers, carriers, and customers, as well as new and innovative technologies.
Commercial Agreement
Concurrently with the issuance and sale of common stock to Google LLC (“Google”), we entered into a Master Supply, Distribution, and Marketing Agreement with Google (the “Commercial Agreement”), pursuant to which Google has agreed to supply us with certain Google devices as well as certain Google video and analytics services (“Google Services”), for sale to our customers. Subject to customary termination rights related to breach and change of control, the Commercial Agreement has an initial term of seven years from the date that the Google Service is successfully integrated into our end-user security and automation platform, which is targeted for no later than June 30, 2022. If the integrated service is not launched by June 30, 2022 then we will be required to offer Google Services without integration for professional installations except for existing customers who already have ADT Pulse or ADT Control interactive services until such integration has been made. Further, subject to certain carveouts, we have agreed to exclusively sell Google end‐user video and sensing analytics services and smart-home, security and safety devices to our customers; the exclusivity does not apply to, among others, Blue by ADT DIY products and services, certain of our legacy platforms, sales large commercial customers, and certain devices that Google does not supply to us.
The Commercial Agreement also contains customary termination rights for both parties. In addition, Google has rights to terminate the Commercial Agreement if (i) we divest any part of our direct to consumer business and the acquiring entity does not agree to assume all obligations under the Commercial Agreement, or (ii) we breach certain provisions of the Commercial Agreement and do not cure such breaches. In the event that we breach the Commercial Agreement in a manner reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on Google’s business or brand, or we breach certain data security and privacy obligations under the Commercial Agreement, we must suspend the sale of Google Services and certain devices during the applicable cure period. Upon termination of the Commercial Agreement, we will no longer have rights to sell the Google
30

Service or devices to new customers, subject to an applicable transition period. In addition, the Google Services may not be accessible by our customers through our integrated end-user application during any cure period for our breach of certain data security and privacy provisions of the Commercial Agreement or upon termination of the agreement for a breach of such provisions.
The Commercial Agreement specifies that each party will contribute $150 million towards the joint marketing of devices and services, customer acquisition, training of our employees for the sales, installation, customer service, and maintenance for the product and service offerings, and technology updates for products included in such offerings. Each party will contribute such funds in three equal tranches, subject to the attainment of certain milestones.
Next Generation Platform
On November 5, 2020, we announced our ongoing development work in connection with the internal build of a next generation professional security and home automation technology platform in coordination with Google. The differentiated platform will leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning, including intelligent alarm and video verification, to improve ADT’s security offering and create a more connected, helpful home.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The comparability of our results of operations has been impacted by the following:
Disposition of Canadian Operations
During November 2019, we sold ADT Security Services Canada, Inc. (“ADT Canada”) to TELUS Corporation (“TELUS”) for a selling price of $514 million (CAD $676 million). In connection with the sale of ADT Canada, we entered into a transition services agreement with TELUS whereby we will provide certain post-closing services to TELUS related to the business of ADT Canada. Additionally, we entered into a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with TELUS pursuant to which we will not have any operations in Canada, subject to limited exceptions for cross-border commercial customers and mobile safety applications, for a period of seven years. Finally, we entered into a patent and trademark license agreement with TELUS granting the usage of our trademarks and patents in Canada to TELUS for a period of seven years.
The sale of ADT Canada did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, and therefore, did not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations.
Defenders Acquisition
During January 2020, we acquired Defender Holdings, Inc. (“Defenders”) (the “Defenders Acquisition”), which represented the acquisition of our largest independent dealer, for total consideration of approximately $290 million, which consisted of cash paid of $173 million, net of cash acquired, and the issuance of approximately 16 million shares of our common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, (“Common Stock”) with a fair value of $114 million. In connection with the Defenders Acquisition, we settled a pre-existing relationship with Defenders in the amount of $81 million.
Equipment Ownership Model Change
During February 2020, we launched a new revenue model initiative for certain residential customers which revised the amount and nature of fees due at installation, introduced a 60 month monitoring contract option, and introduced a new retail installment contract which allows qualifying residential customers to repay the fees due at installation over the course of a 24, 36, or 60 month interest-free period. Due to the requirements of our initial third-party consumer financing program, we also transitioned our security system ownership model from a predominately Company-owned model to a predominately customer-owned model (the “Equipment Ownership Model Change”).
During March 2020, we entered into an uncommitted receivables securitization financing agreement (the “Receivables Facility”). Under the terms of the Receivables Facility, we may receive up to $200 million of financing secured by retail installment contract receivables from transactions involving security systems that were sold under a customer-owned model. During April 2020, we amended the Receivables Facility to also permit financing secured by retail installment contract receivables from transactions occurring under the Company-owned model. During May 2020, we started to transition our security system ownership model back to a predominately Company-owned model as a result of this amendment.
In connection with the above, and with respect to transactions arising through Defenders, which has historically used a customer-owned ownership model, subsequent to the Defenders Acquisition, our residential transactions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included an increase in transactions based on a customer-owned model. In connection
31

with our transition back to a Company-owned model, we do not expect to experience the same level of revenue growth subsequent to September 30, 2020 as reported in our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. We are in the early stages of our new revenue model initiative and we cannot be certain that this initiative or our transition back to a predominately Company-owned model, which is anticipated to include transactions arising through Defenders beginning in 2021, will achieve the desired outcomes. Accordingly, the results of the new revenue model initiative and impact of our transition back to a predominately Company-owned model could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and key performance indicators.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
In evaluating our results, we utilize key performance indicators, which include non-GAAP measures as well as certain other operating metrics such as recurring monthly revenue and gross customer revenue attrition. Our computations of key performance indicators may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Additionally, our operating metric key performance indicators are approximated as there may be variations to reported results in each period due to certain adjustments we might make in connection with the integration over several periods of acquired companies that calculated these metrics differently, or otherwise, including periodic reassessments and refinements in the ordinary course of business. These refinements, for example, may include changes due to systems conversion or historical methodology differences in legacy systems.
Recurring Monthly Revenue (“RMR”)
RMR is generated by contractual recurring fees for monitoring and other recurring services provided to our customers, including contracts monitored but not owned. We believe the presentation of RMR is useful because it measures the volume of revenue under contract at a given point in time.
Gross Customer Revenue Attrition
A portion of our customer base can be expected to cancel its service every year. Customers may choose not to renew or may terminate their contracts for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, relocation, cost, loss to competition, or service issues. Gross customer revenue attrition has a direct impact on our financial results, including revenue, operating income, and cash flows.
Gross customer revenue attrition is defined as RMR lost as a result of customer attrition, net of dealer charge-backs and reinstated customers, excluding contracts monitored but not owned and DIY customers. Customer sites are considered canceled when all services are terminated. Dealer charge-backs represent customer cancellations charged back to the dealers because the customer canceled service during the charge-back period, which is generally twelve to fifteen months.
Gross customer revenue attrition is calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis, the numerator of which is the RMR lost during the period due to attrition, net of dealer charge-backs and reinstated customers, excluding contracts monitored but not owned and DIY customers, and the denominator of which is total annualized RMR based on an average of RMR under contract at the beginning of each month during the period.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is useful to investors to measure the operational strength and performance of our business. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) (the most comparable GAAP measure), and additional information, including a description of the limitations relating to the use of Adjusted EBITDA, are provided under “—Non-GAAP Measures.”
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that our management employs to measure cash that is available to repay debt, make other investments, and pay dividends. Our definition of Free Cash Flow, a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to cash flows from operating activities (the most comparable GAAP measure), and additional information, including a description of the limitations relating to the use of Free Cash Flow, are provided under “—Non-GAAP Measures.”

Monitoring and Related Services Revenue
The decrease in monitoring and related services revenue was driven by a decrease in recurring revenue due to the sale of ADT Canada. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in recurring revenue in the U.S. largely due to improvements in average pricing as new and existing residential customers selected higher priced interactive services. Average customer count remained relatively flat due to recent improvements in attrition and customer additions.
The decrease in RMR to $341 million as of September 30, 2020 from $351 million as of September 30, 2019 was primarily due to the sale of ADT Canada, which decreased RMR by approximately $16 million. The decrease in RMR was partially offset by improvements in average pricing in the U.S. As of September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, gross customer revenue attrition was 12.9% and 13.5%, respectively. The improvement in attrition was primarily due to fewer customer relocations and the benefit of customer retention initiatives.
Installation and Other Revenue
The increase in installation and other revenue was primarily due to higher volume of revenue from equipment sold outright to residential customers as a result of the Defenders Acquisition. This increase was partially offset by (i) a decrease in the volume of revenue from equipment sold outright to commercial customers as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and (ii) the sale of ADT Canada.
In connection with the anticipated transition of residential transactions arising through Defenders to a predominately Company-owned model in 2021, we do not expect to experience the same level of revenue growth in future periods as compared to our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
33

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue was relatively flat and included an increase in installation costs associated with a higher volume of transactions in which equipment was sold outright to residential customers as a result of the Defenders Acquisition. This increase was partially offset by (i) a decrease in installation costs associated with a lower volume of transactions in which equipment was sold outright to commercial customers as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and (ii) the sale of ADT Canada.
In connection with the anticipated transition of residential transactions arising through Defenders to a predominately Company-owned model in 2021, we do not expect to experience the same level of increase in cost of revenue in future periods as compared to our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to $78 million of incremental expenses associated with the Defenders Acquisition and an increase in radio conversion costs of $9 million. These increases were partially offset by (i) a reduction in financing and consent fees of $22 million associated with financing transactions in 2019, (ii) a $16 million decrease in advertising expenses (exclusive of incremental advertising expenses from recent acquisitions), (iii) $6 million from an estimated legal settlement, net of insurance, in 2019, and (iv) a reduction of expenses of $6 million due to the sale of ADT Canada.
Depreciation and Intangible Asset Amortization
The decrease in depreciation and intangible asset amortization expense was primarily due to a decrease of $24 million associated with the sale of ADT Canada as well as a decrease in the depreciation of subscriber system assets.
Merger, Restructuring, Integration, and Other
The decrease in merger, restructuring, integration, and other was primarily due to gains and losses recognized on a strategic investment, which had a gain of $11 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a loss of $5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019.
Interest Expense, net
The increase in interest expense, net, was primarily due to (i) $19 million related to our variable-rate first lien term loans, net of the impact of our interest rate swaps, and (ii) $3 million related to our fixed-rate first lien notes due to our refinancing transactions during September 2020 and September 2019. These increases were partially offset by (i) a decrease in interest expense of $9 million related to the changes in fair value of interest rate swap contracts as a result of cash flow hedges no longer being highly effective, and (ii) $9 million related to our second lien notes as a result of a reduction in interest rate due to our refinancing during January 2020.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, loss on extinguishment of debt totaled $49 million and related to the call premium and write-off of unamortized fair value adjustments in connection with the $1 billion redemption of our 6.250% notes due 2021 (the “ADT Notes due 2021”) in September 2020.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, loss on extinguishment of debt totaled $15 million, which primarily related to the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discount in connection with the amendment and restatement to our first lien credit agreement in September 2019.
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $28 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 19.7%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 2.5%, and a 3.9% unfavorable impact from non-deductible charges primarily due to the Defenders Acquisition.
Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $36 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 16.7%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal income tax rate of 21.0%, a 21.9% unfavorable impact from valuation allowances established on the net capital losses generated in the U.S. and Canada related to the sale of ADT Canada, a 5.6% unfavorable impact from non-deductible goodwill impairment loss, offset by a 20.7% favorable impact from
34

net capital losses generated in the U.S. and Canada related to the sale of ADT Canada, and a 4.6% favorable impact from amendments to prior year tax returns.
The effective tax rate can vary from period to period due to permanent tax adjustments, discrete items such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors such as changes in the overall state tax rate.

(1)Refer to the “—Key Performance Indicators” section for the definitions of these key performance indicators.
(2)Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the “—Non-GAAP Measures” section for the definitions of these terms and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.
Monitoring and Related Services Revenue
The decrease in monitoring and related services revenue was driven by a decrease in recurring revenue due to the sale of ADT Canada. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in recurring revenue in the U.S. largely due to improvements in average pricing as new and existing residential customers selected higher priced interactive services. Average customer count remained relatively flat due to recent improvements in attrition and customer additions.
The decrease in RMR to $341 million as of September 30, 2020 from $351 million as of September 30, 2019 was primarily due to the sale of ADT Canada, which decreased RMR by approximately $16 million. The decrease in RMR was partially offset by improvements in average pricing in the U.S. As of September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, gross customer revenue
35

attrition was 12.9% and 13.5%, respectively. The improvement in attrition was primarily due to fewer customer relocations and the benefit of customer retention initiatives.
Installation and Other Revenue
The increase in installation and other revenue was primarily due to higher volume of revenue from equipment sold outright to residential customers as a result of the Defenders Acquisition and the Equipment Ownership Model Change. These increases were partially offset by (i) a decrease in the volume of revenue from equipment sold outright to commercial customers as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and (ii) the sale of ADT Canada.
In connection with our transition back to a predominately Company-owned model for our residential transactions, we do not expect to experience the same level of revenue growth subsequent to September 30, 2020 as reported in our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Cost of Revenue
The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to an increase in installation costs associated with a higher volume of transactions in which equipment was sold outright to residential customers as a result of the Defenders Acquisition and the Equipment Ownership Model Change. These increases were partially offset by (i) a decrease in installation costs associated with a lower volume of transactions in which equipment was sold outright to commercial customers as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic and (ii) the sale of ADT Canada.
In connection with our transition back to a predominately Company-owned model for our residential transactions, we do not expect to experience the same level of increase in cost of revenue subsequent to September 30, 2020 as reported in our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to $226 million of incremental expenses associated with the Defenders Acquisition, an increase of $38 million in the provision for credit losses (exclusive of incremental provision from recent acquisitions) due to the estimated impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and an increase in the volume of longer duration receivables, an increase in radio conversion costs of $36 million, as well as increases in selling costs, which includes amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs. These increases were partially offset by (i) a reduction in expenses of $38 million due to the sale of ADT Canada, (ii) a reduction in financing and consent fees of $18 million associated with financing transactions, (iii) recoveries of $7 million in 2020 compared to write-offs of $5 million in 2019 associated with notes receivable from a former strategic investment, (iv) $6 million from an estimated legal settlement, net of insurance, in 2019, and (v) a decrease in advertising expenses (exclusive of incremental advertising expenses from recent acquisitions).
Depreciation and Intangible Asset Amortization
The decrease in depreciation and intangible asset amortization expense was primarily due to a decrease of $70 million associated with the sale of ADT Canada as well as a decrease in the depreciation of subscriber system assets. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of the amortization of customer contracts acquired under the ADT Authorized Dealer Program.
Merger, Restructuring, Integration, and Other
The increase in merger, restructuring, integration, and other was primarily due to a charge of $81 million associated with the settlement of a pre-existing relationship. This increase was partially offset by a $9 million decrease in loss recognized on a strategic investment, which had a loss of $1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a loss of $9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Interest Expense, net
The increase in interest expense, net, was primarily due to (i) $80 million related to the changes in fair value of interest rate swap contracts as a result of cash flow hedges no longer being highly effective, (ii) $34 million related to our fixed-rate first lien notes due to our refinancing transactions during 2020 and 2019, and (iii) $30 million related to our variable-rate first lien term loans, net of the impact of our interest rate swaps. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $44 million related to our second lien notes due to the timing of partial redemptions during 2019 as well as a reduction in interest rate due to our refinancing during January 2020.
36

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, loss on extinguishment of debt totaled $115 million and included $66 million associated with the call premium and write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with the $1.2 billion redemption of second lien notes in February 2020 and $49 million associated with the call premium and write-off of unamortized fair value adjustments in connection with the $1 billion redemption of the ADT Notes due 2021 in September 2020.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, loss on extinguishment of debt totaled $103 million and included (i) $22 million associated with the call premium and the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with the $300 million partial redemption of second lien notes in February 2019, (ii) $61 million associated with the call premium and partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with the $1 billion partial redemption of second lien notes in April 2019, (iii) $6 million associated with the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discount in connection with the $500 million repayment of a first lien term loan in April 2019, and (iv) $13 million associated with the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discount in connection with the amendment and restatement to our first lien credit agreement in September 2019.
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $133 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 20.4%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 2.9%, a 3.0% unfavorable impact from non-deductible charges primarily due to the Defenders Acquisition, and a 1.2% unfavorable impact from an increase in valuation allowances primarily due to tax credits not expected to be utilized prior to expiration.
Income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $82 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 18.8%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal income tax rate of 21.0%, an 11.0% unfavorable impact from valuation allowances established on the net capital losses generated in the U.S. and Canada related to the sale of ADT Canada, a 2.8% unfavorable impact from non-deductible goodwill impairment loss, offset by a 10.4% favorable impact from net capital losses generated in the U.S. and Canada related to the sale of ADT Canada, and a 2.3% favorable impact from amendments to prior year tax returns.
The effective tax rate can vary from period to period due to permanent tax adjustments, discrete items such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors such as changes in the overall state tax rate.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow as non-GAAP measures. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating profitability adjusted for certain non-cash items, non-routine items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items that are not core to our operations. Further, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of operating profitability because we use it for evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss adjusted for (i) interest, (ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of subscriber system assets and other fixed assets and amortization of dealer and other intangible assets, (iv) amortization of deferred costs and deferred revenue associated with subscriber acquisitions, (v) share-based compensation expense, (vi) merger, restructuring, integration, and other, (vii) losses on extinguishment of debt, (viii) radio conversion costs, (ix) financing and consent fees, (x) foreign currency gains/losses, (xi) acquisition related adjustments, and (xii) other charges and non-cash items.
There are material limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account certain significant items, including depreciation and amortization, interest, taxes, and other adjustments which directly affect our net income or loss. These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently, and by considering Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with net income or loss as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
37

Free Cash Flow
We believe that the presentation of Free Cash Flow is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our ability to repay debt, make other investments, and pay dividends.
We define Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less cash outlays related to capital expenditures. We define capital expenditures to include accounts purchased through our network of authorized dealers or third parties outside of our authorized dealer network; subscriber system asset expenditures; and purchases of property and equipment. These items are subtracted from cash flows from operating activities because they represent long-term investments that are required for normal business activities.
Free Cash Flow adjusts for cash items that are ultimately within management’s discretion to direct, and therefore, may imply that there is less or more cash that is available than the most comparable GAAP measure. Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since debt repayment requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted. These limitations are best addressed by using Free Cash Flow in combination with the cash flows as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily related to (i) an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding items outside of our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, largely due to the Defenders Acquisition and (ii) the sale of
38

ADT Canada. The decrease was partially offset by an increase from transactions in which equipment is sold outright to customers, net of the associated costs.
In connection with the anticipated transition of residential transactions arising through Defenders to a predominately Company-owned model in 2021, we could experience an adverse impact to Adjusted EBITDA related to a decrease in volume of transactions in which equipment is sold outright to residential customers in future periods as compared to our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Cash Outlays Related to Capital Expenditures

Refer to the discussions below under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further details regarding cash flows from investing activities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and Receivables Facility, and the issuance of equity and/or debt securities as appropriate given market conditions. Our future cash needs are expected to include cash for operating activities, working capital, capital expenditures, strategic investments, periodic principal and interest payments on our debt, and potential dividend payments to our stockholders. We may, from time to time, seek to repay, redeem, repurchase, or refinance our indebtedness, or seek to retire or purchase our outstanding securities through cash purchases in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions or through a 10b5-1 repurchase plan or otherwise, and any such transactions may involve material amounts. We believe our cash position, borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility and Receivables Facility, and cash provided by operating
39

activities are, and will continue to be, adequate to meet our operational and business needs in the next twelve months as well as our long-term liquidity needs.
We are a highly leveraged company with significant debt service requirements. As of September 30, 2020, we had $489 million in cash and cash equivalents and $400 million available under our revolving credit facility. In addition, we had an uncommitted available borrowing capacity of $159 million under our Receivables Facility, which is dependent on the volume of eligible retail installment contract receivables that can be sold under our Receivables Facility. The carrying amount of total debt outstanding was approximately $9.7 billion as of September 30, 2020.
Long-Term Debt
Significant changes in our debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were as follows:
First Lien Credit Agreement
As of September 30, 2020, we had an available borrowing capacity of $400 million under our first lien revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Revolving Credit Facility”), with no borrowings outstanding.
Second Lien Notes due 2028
During January 2020, we issued $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.250% second-priority senior secured notes due 2028 (the “Second Lien Notes due 2028”). The proceeds from the Second Lien Notes due 2028, along with cash on hand and borrowings under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility, were used to redeem the outstanding $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of our 9.250% second-priority senior secured notes due 2023 (the “Prime Notes”) and pay any related fees and expenses, including the call premium on the outstanding Prime Notes. The deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Second Lien Notes due 2028 were not material.
The Second Lien Notes due 2028 will mature on January 15, 2028 with semi-annual interest payment dates of January 15 and July 15, and may be redeemed at our option as follows:
•Prior to January 15, 2023, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, (a) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2028 redeemed, plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest as of, but excluding, the redemption date or (b) for up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2028 and in an aggregate amount equal to the net cash proceeds of any equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 106.250%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, so long as at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2028 shall remain outstanding after each such redemption.
•On or after January 15, 2023, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 103.125% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2028 redeemed and accrued and unpaid interest as of, but excluding, the redemption date. The redemption price decreases to 101.563% on or after January 15, 2024 and decreases to 100% on or after January 15, 2025.
Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, we must offer to repurchase the Second Lien Notes due 2028 at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The indenture governing the Second Lien Notes due 2028 also provides for customary events of default.
Prime Notes
The indenture underlying the outstanding $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of the Prime Notes was discharged during January 2020 and the Prime Notes were redeemed during February 2020 for a total redemption price of approximately $1.3 billion, which included the related call premium.
Receivables Facility
During March 2020, we entered into the Receivables Facility. Under the terms of the Receivables Facility, we may receive up to $200 million of financing secured by retail installment contract receivables from transactions involving security systems that were sold under a customer-owned model. During April 2020, we amended the Receivables Facility to also permit financing secured by retail installment contract receivables from transactions occurring under our Company-owned model. The Receivables Facility has a one year revolving period until March 5, 2021, which may be extended, and bears interest at a variable rate. If the revolving period is not extended, we are required to repay the Receivables Facility in a manner consistent with the contractual collections of the underlying retail installment contract receivables. We may make voluntary prepayments on the Receivables Facility at any time prior to maturity at par.
40

We obtain financing by selling or contributing certain retail installment contract receivables to our wholly-owned consolidated bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (the “SPE”), which, pursuant to the Receivables Facility, borrows funds secured by the transferred retail installment contract receivables. The SPE is a separate legal entity with its own creditors who will be entitled, prior to and upon the liquidation of the SPE, to be satisfied out of the SPE’s assets prior to any assets in the SPE becoming available to us (other than the SPE). Accordingly, the assets of the SPE are not available to pay our creditors (other than the SPE), although collections from the transferred retail installment contract receivables in excess of amounts required to repay the SPE’s creditors may be remitted to us during and after the term of the Receivables Facility. The SPE’s creditors have legal recourse to the transferred retail installment contract receivables owned by the SPE, but do not have any recourse to us (other than the SPE) for the payment of principal and interest on the SPE’s financing.
We service the transferred retail installment contract receivables and are responsible for ensuring that amounts collected from the transferred retail installment contract receivables are remitted to the SPE. We are required to deposit payments received from the transferred retail installment contract receivables into a segregated account maintained by a third party. On a monthly basis, the segregated account is utilized to make required principal, interest, and other payments due under the Receivables Facility.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received proceeds of $44 million under the Receivables Facility and repaid $2 million. As of September 30, 2020, we had an outstanding balance of $41 million and an uncommitted available borrowing capacity of $159 million under the Receivables Facility.
First Lien Notes due 2027
During August 2020, we issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.375% first-priority senior secured notes due 2027 (the “First Lien Notes due 2027”). The proceeds from the First Lien Notes due 2027, along with cash on hand, were used to redeem the outstanding $1 billion aggregate principal amount of the ADT Notes due 2021, pay accrued and unpaid interest on the ADT Notes due 2021, and pay any related fees and expenses, including the call premium on the ADT Notes due 2021. The deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the First Lien Notes due 2027 were not material.
The First Lien Notes due 2027 will mature on August 31, 2027 with semi-annual interest payment dates of June 15 and December 15, and may be redeemed at our option as follows:
•Prior to August 31, 2026, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.
•On or after August 31, 2026, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the First Lien Notes due 2027 redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.
Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, we must offer to repurchase the First Lien Notes due 2027 at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The indenture governing the First Lien Notes due 2027 also provides for customary events of default.
ADT Notes
In September 2020, we redeemed $1 billion aggregate principal amount of the ADT Notes due 2021 for a total repurchase price of approximately $1.1 billion, which included the related call premium.
Debt Covenants
As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenant and other maintenance tests for all our debt obligations and we do not believe there is a material risk of future noncompliance with our financial covenant and other maintenance tests as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Issuance of Class B Common Stock
During September 2020, we amended our articles of incorporation to authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, (“Class B Common Stock”) as well as to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share, to 1,000,000.
The Class B Common Stock represents a new class of common stock of ADT. Each share of Class B Common Stock has equal status and rights to dividends with a share of Common Stock. The holders of Class B Common Stock have one vote for each share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote
41

generally; provided, however, that holders of Class B Common Stock, as such, are not entitled to vote on the election, appointment, or removal of directors of ADT. Additionally, each share of Class B Common Stock will immediately become convertible into one share of Common Stock, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time following the earlier of (i) the expiration or early termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR Clearance”), required prior to such holder’s conversion of all such shares of Class B Common Stock, and (ii) to the extent HSR Clearance is not required prior to such holder’s conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock, the date that such holder owns such shares of Class B Common Stock.
During September 2020, we issued and sold 54,744,525 shares of Class B Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $450 million to Google in a private placement pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated July 31, 2020 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). As of the date of closing, Google held approximately 6.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of ADT on an as-converted basis. Prior to closing, the Securities Purchase Agreement provided Google with the option to purchase additional shares of Class B Common Stock, for the same price per share, up to 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of ADT on an as-converted basis. Google did not exercise this option. The proceeds received will be used to reduce debt and fund growth over time.
In connection with the issuance of the Class B Common Stock, Google entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with us, pursuant to which Google agreed to be bound by customary transfer restrictions and drag-along rights, and be afforded customary registration rights with respect to shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by Google. Under the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, Google is prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from transferring any shares of Class B Common Stock or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by Google until the earlier of (i) the three-year anniversary of issuance, (ii) the date on which the Commercial Agreement has been terminated under certain specified circumstances, and (iii) June 30, 2022 if we breach certain of our obligations under the Commercial Agreement.
Dividends
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we declared the following dividends on common stock:
Declaration Date Record Date Payment Date Common Stock Dividend per Share Class B Common Stock Dividend per Share
March 5, 2020 March 19, 2020 April 2, 2020 $0.035 $—
May 7, 2020 June 18, 2020 July 2, 2020 $0.035 $—
August 5, 2020 September 18, 2020 October 2, 2020 $0.035 $0.035
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we declared dividends of $0.035 per share on Common Stock ($27 million) and $0.035 per share on Class B Common Stock ($2 million). The amount of dividends settled in shares of Common Stock during the period was not material.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we declared aggregate dividends of $0.105 per share on Common Stock ($81 million) and $0.035 per share on Class B Common Stock ($2 million). The amount of dividends settled in shares of Common Stock during the period was not material.
On November 5, 2020, we announced a dividend of $0.035 per share to holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of record on December 21, 2020, which will be distributed on January 4, 2021.
Share Repurchase Program
On February 27, 2019, we approved a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), which permits us to repurchase up to $150 million of our shares of Common Stock through February 27, 2021. We announced the Share Repurchase Program on March 11, 2019. On March 23, 2020, we approved an increase of $75 million, inclusive of the amount then remaining under the Share Repurchase Program, in the authorized repurchase amount and an extension of the Share Repurchase Program through March 23, 2021.
We may effect these repurchases pursuant to one or more trading plans to be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 (each, a “10b5-1 plan”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), in privately negotiated transactions, in open market transactions, or pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase program. We intend to conduct the Share Repurchase Program in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. We are not obligated to repurchase any of our shares of Common Stock and the timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on legal requirements, market conditions, stock price, alternative uses of capital, and other factors.
42

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were no material repurchases of shares of our Common Stock under the Share Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $75 million remaining in the Share Repurchase Program.
Cash Flow Analysis
The following table is a summary of our cash flow activity for the periods presented:
For the Nine Months Ended
(in thousands) September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 $
Change
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 993,269  $ 1,459,249  $ (465,980)
Net cash used in investing activities $ (800,275) $ (1,156,921) $ 356,646 
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities $ 249,156  $ (509,716) $ 758,872 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily due to (i) an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses largely due to the Defenders Acquisition, (ii) an increase in the volume of transactions in which equipment was sold outright to residential customers, (iii) the sale of ADT Canada, (iv) $81 million related to the settlement of a pre-existing relationship in connection with the Defenders Acquisition, and (v) an increase in interest payments of $40 million due to changes to the timing and amount of interest payments as a result of our recent financing transactions. The remainder of the activity in cash flows provided by operating activities related to changes in assets and liabilities due to the volume and timing of other operating cash receipts and payments with respect to when the transactions are reflected in earnings.
In connection with our transition back to a predominately Company-owned model for our residential transactions, we expect to experience an increase in cash flows from operating activities related to a decrease in the volume of transactions in which equipment is sold outright to residential customers subsequent to September 30, 2020 as reported in our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Refer to the discussions above under “—Results of Operations” for further details.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities was primarily due to (i) a decrease in the volume of dealer and bulk account purchases and an advance payment received for dealer charge-backs in connection with the Defenders Acquisition, (ii) a decrease in the volume of subscriber system asset expenditures as a result of the Equipment Ownership Model Change and the sale of ADT Canada, and (iii) proceeds received associated with the sale of a strategic investment. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in cash used for business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $87 million primarily due to the Defenders Acquisition.
In connection with our transition back to a predominately Company-owned model for our residential transactions, we expect to experience an increase in cash flows used in investing activities related to an increase in the volume of subscriber system asset expenditures subsequent to September 30, 2020 as compared to the volume of subscriber system asset expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of (i) $450 million of proceeds associated with the issuance of Class B Common Stock and (ii) $41 million of net proceeds under the Receivables Facility. These cash inflows were partially offset by (i) $108 million related to the net repayments of long-term borrowings, (ii) $80 million related to dividend payments on common stock, and (iii) $28 million related to the payment of deferred financing fees.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of (i) $272 million related to the net repayments of long-term borrowings, (ii) $150 million related to repurchases of common stock, (iii) $53 million related to the payment of deferred financing fees, and (iv) $34 million related to dividend payments on common stock.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
In our 2019 Annual Report, we disclosed our commitments and contractual obligations. There have been no material changes to these commitments and contractual obligations except for certain commitments pursuant to the Commercial Agreement and the changes to our long-term debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as described above. Refer to the discussion above under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further details regarding significant changes to our long-term debt.
During October 2020, we entered into a master services agreement with Rackspace US, Inc., a related party, for the provision of cloud storage, equipment, and services to facilitate the implementation of our cloud migration strategy for certain applications. The master services agreement includes a minimum purchase commitment of $50 million over a 7 year term.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
There have been no material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements as disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Management’s estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or market conditions. In our 2019 Annual Report, we identified our accounting policies that are based on, among other things, estimates and judgments made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties.
Refer to Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about recent accounting adoptions and pronouncements.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains certain information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While we have specifically identified certain information as being forward-looking in the context of its presentation, we caution you that all statements contained in this report that are not clearly historical in nature, including statements regarding anticipated financial performance, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, business prospects, outcome of regulatory proceedings, market conditions, our ability to successfully respond to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 Pandemic, our strategic partnership and ongoing relationship with Google, the expected timing of product commercialization with Google or any changes thereto, the successful internal development, commercialization and timing of our next generation platform and other matters are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections of this report entitled “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any time we use the words “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “confident,” “continue,” “propose,” “seeks,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “might,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “planned,” “projects,” and similar expressions, we intend to clearly express that the information deals with possible future events and is forward-looking in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking information involves risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such statements, including without limitation, the risks and uncertainties disclosed or referenced in Part II Item 1A. of this report under the heading “Risk Factors.” Therefore, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Much of the information in this report that looks toward future performance of the Company is based on various factors and important assumptions about future events that may or may not actually occur. As a result, our operations and financial results in the future could differ materially and substantially from those we have discussed in the forward-looking statements included in the Quarterly Report. We assume no obligation (and specifically disclaim any such obligation) to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Our operations expose us to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates. We monitor and manage these financial exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program. Our policies allow for the use of specified financial instruments for hedging purposes only. Use of derivatives for speculation purposes is prohibited.
44

Interest Rate Risk
We have both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt, and, as a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates on our debt. We have interest rate swap contracts to hedge our interest rate exposure on our variable-rate debt. However, certain of our variable-rate debt instruments are subject to a one-percent floor on interest payments while our interest rate swap contracts do not include a floor. If current LIBOR increases above one percent, the increase in our debt service obligations on most of our variable-rate indebtedness will be neutralized as we have entered into interest rate swaps that hedge any increase in current LIBOR above one percent. If current LIBOR is below one percent, even though the amount borrowed remains the same, our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will decrease by the impact of the difference between one percent and current LIBOR because certain of our variable-rate debt has an interest floor of one percent while the corresponding interest rate swap contracts do not have a LIBOR floor.
As a result of changes in the interest rate environment in response to macroeconomic decline, our interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $3 billion were no longer highly effective beginning in March 2020. Accordingly, we de-designated the cash flow hedges and the changes in fair value for the period in which these cash flow hedges were no longer highly effective were recognized in interest expense. Amounts recognized as a component of AOCI prior to de-designation will be reclassified into interest expense in the same period in which the related interest on variable-rate debt affects earnings through the maturity dates of the interest rate swap contracts as the forecasted cash flows are probable of occurring.
The changes in fair value of interest rate swap contracts recognized in interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were a gain of $8 million and a loss of $1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and losses of $90 million and $9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
As of September 30, 2020, the carrying amount of our debt, excluding finance leases, was $9.7 billion with a fair value of $10.1 billion. In addition, we had interest rate swap contracts with aggregate notional amounts of $3.2 billion with a fair value of $305 million as a net liability. As of September 30, 2020, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would change the fair value of our debt by approximately $224 million based on the implied yield from broker-quoted market prices on our debt, while a similar change in interest rates would change the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts by approximately $3 million based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Additionally, any 0.125% decrease in LIBOR below 1.0% would result in an increase of approximately $4 million in annualized interest expense on our variable-rate debt, including the impact of our interest rate swaps.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness 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 Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in our management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing the Company.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities
As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 7, 2020, we issued shares of Common Stock as consideration in the Defenders Acquisition in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
In addition, as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 17, 2020, we issued and sold 54,744,525 shares of Class B Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $450 million to Google in a private placement in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The proceeds received will be used to reduce debt and fund growth over time.
Use of Proceeds from Registered Equity Securities
We did not receive any proceeds from sales of registered equity securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On February 27, 2019, we approved the Share Repurchase Program, which permits us to repurchase up to $150 million of our shares of Common Stock through February 27, 2021. We announced the Share Repurchase Program on March 11, 2019. On March 23, 2020, we approved an increase of $75 million, inclusive of the amount then remaining under the Share Repurchase Program, in the authorized repurchase amount and an extension of the Share Repurchase Program through March 23, 2021.
We may effect these repurchases pursuant to one or more trading plans to be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 (each, a “10b5-1 plan”) under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions, in open market transactions, or pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase program. We intend to conduct the Share Repurchase Program in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. We are not obligated to repurchase any of our shares of Common Stock and the timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on legal requirements, market conditions, stock price, alternative uses of capital, and other factors.
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, there were no repurchases of any shares of our Common Stock under the Repurchase Program and as of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $75 million remaining in the Repurchase Program.

RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT This RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of March 5, 2020 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among ADT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ADT”), individually and as Servicer (as defined below), ADT FINANCE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (the “Seller”), the various PURCHASERS and PURCHASER AGENTS (as such terms are defined below) from time to time party hereto and MIZUHO BANK, LTD. (“Mizuho”), as Administrative Agent, Arranger, Structuring Agent and Collateral Agent (as such terms are defined below). PRELIMINARY STATEMENT. ADT will, pursuant to the Sale Agreement (as defined below) from time to time, sell, or contribute, transfer and assign certain Receivables (as defined below) and the Related Assets (as defined below) to the Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers may, from time to time, purchase from the Seller certain Receivables of the Seller on the terms set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used as defined in (or by reference in) Appendix A, and the other interpretive provisions set out in Appendix A shall be applied in the interpretation of this Agreement. ARTICLE I PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES SECTION 1.1 Purchase of Pool Receivables and Related Assets; Purchase Price. In accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.2(a) and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Article V, the Seller may, from time to time, elect to sell the Receivables identified in Annex A to the related Purchase Request, together with all Related Assets in respect thereof, to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Purchasers and the Purchasers may in their sole discretion agree to purchase such Receivables and Related Assets. On each Purchase Date, in consideration of the payment to the Seller of the cash purchase price payable pursuant to Section 1.2(b), if any, (the “Cash Purchase Price”) by the participating Purchasers on such Purchase Date and the agreement to pay the deferred purchase price payable to the Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(g) (the “RPA Deferred Purchase Price”) the Seller shall sell, convey, transfer and assign to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of such Purchasers, each of the Receivables identified in Annex A to the related Purchase Request together with all Related Assets in respect thereto, in each case, as existing on the immediately preceding Cut-off Date (each, a “Purchase”). The Collateral Agent shall hold the Receivable Pool and Related Assets on behalf of the Purchasers in each Purchaser Group in accordance with the Proportionate Share of each Purchaser Group from time to time. Within each Purchaser Group each Purchaser Agent shall hold such Purchaser Group’s Proportional Share of the Receivable Pool and the Related Assets on behalf of the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group in accordance with the respective outstanding portions of the Investment funded by such Purchasers. The amount of the RPA Deferred Purchase Price determined on any Purchase Date relating to Receivables purchased by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Purchasers on any Purchase Date in accordance with the SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
terms of this Agreement shall be an amount equal to the aggregate Unpaid Balance of all such Eligible Receivables less the Cash Purchase Price, if any, paid for such Eligible Receivables. SECTION 1.2 Purchase Procedures; Assignment of the Seller’s Interests. (a) Purchase Requests. Each Purchase of Receivables under this Agreement shall be made at the written request of the Seller or the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) to the Administrative Agent (each a “Purchase Request”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding the proposed Purchase Date (or in the case of the initial Purchase Date, such Purchase Date). Any such Purchase Request shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto and shall specify (A) the desired date of such proposed Purchase (which shall be a Business Day occurring prior to the Purchase Termination Date and shall be a Settlement Date) and the Cut-off Date immediately preceding such proposed Purchase Date, (B) whether or not such proposed Purchase is a Non-Cash Purchase, (C) unless such proposed Purchase is to be a Non- Cash Purchase, the proposed Cash Purchase Price in respect of such proposed Purchase (which shall be an amount at least equal to $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all Purchaser Groups, or to the extent that the then available aggregate Purchasers’ Pool Limit is less than such amount, such lesser amount equal to such available unused portion of the aggregate Purchasers’ Pool Limit), (D) the RPA Deferred Purchase Price as of such proposed Purchase Date in respect thereof, (E) a detailed list of the Receivables proposed to be sold to the Purchaser on such proposed Purchase Date, including in respect of each Receivable the name and Billing Address of the related Obligor (or the identification number or code of such Obligor, provided that it includes the State (or commonwealth) in the United States in respect of such Billing Address), the account number or Contract identification number, the Remaining Term as of the proposed Purchase Date, the ADT Credit Score, the Product Type, whether a credit check was completed, the Unpaid Balance, the Financed Unpaid Balance, the aggregate Unpaid Balance of all such Receivables, and such additional detail that the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request, of each Receivable as of the immediately preceding Cut-off Date, and (F) unless such proposed Purchase is to be a Non-Cash Purchase, the allocation of such proposed Purchase based on the Ratable Share of each Purchaser Group’s Purchase Limit; provided, however, that, the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall not submit a Purchase Request hereunder following the Purchase Termination Date. Each Purchase Request shall be accompanied by an Information Package (or in the case of the initial Purchase Date, a pro forma Information Package) in respect of the Settlement Period immediately preceding such proposed Purchase Date specified in such Purchase Request which shall also contain the pro forma information regarding such proposed Purchase required by Section 3.1(c). Upon the written request of the Seller or the Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall confirm to such requesting party each Purchasers Group’s Purchase Limit. A Purchase Request shall be irrevocable. Not later than 1:00 pm (New York City time) on the same Business Day of its receipt of a Purchase Request together with the related Information Package pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (it being understood that if any such Purchase Request or Information Package is received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York 2

 
City time) such Purchase Request and Information Package shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day), the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of such Purchase Request and Information Package to each Purchaser Agent. Except in respect of a proposed Non-Cash Purchase, each Purchaser Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent no later than 4:00 pm (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Business Day preceding the date of such proposed Purchase of whether the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group approve or reject the proposed Purchase; provided, that to the extent that any Purchaser Agent does not notify the Administrative Agent that it approves such proposed Purchase on or before 4:00 pm (New York City time) on such day, it shall be deemed to have rejected the proposed Purchase, unless on such day and prior to any proposed reallocation by the Administrative Agent of such Purchaser Group’s deemed rejected portion of the Ratable Share of the Cash Purchase Price in respect of such proposed Purchase, such non-responding Purchaser Agent approves in writing such proposed Purchase in the full amount of such requested Cash Purchase Price. In the event that some but not all of the Purchaser Groups agree to fund their Ratable Share of the Cash Purchase Price a proposed Purchase, the Seller may request the Administrative Agent to re-allocate the rejected portion of the proposed Purchase, and seek approval among the Purchaser Groups that approved the original proposed Purchase, based on the Ratable Share of the Purchase Limits of such Purchaser Groups; provided, that there shall be no obligation of any Purchaser in any Purchaser Group to fund any such incremental Purchase. Except in respect of a proposed Non-Cash Purchase, upon final allocation, which shall in no event result in the Purchaser Group Investment of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Purchaser Group Limit, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Purchaser Agent of the amount of the requested Purchase to be funded by each Purchaser in its Purchaser Group and the allocated share of each Purchaser of such Purchase (the “Allocated Share”), and each such approving Purchaser shall pay its Allocated Share of the applicable Cash Purchase Price on the proposed date of such Purchase (the “Purchase Date”) in accordance with clause (b) below. For the avoidance of doubt, no Purchaser shall have any obligation to approve any Purchase Request and except for the initial Purchase no Purchase shall be made on a day which does not constitute a Settlement Date. Neither the approval of any Purchaser Agent nor any other party will be required for any proposed Non-Cash Purchase and such Purchase shall be deemed to be made on the Settlement Date immediately following the date such Purchase Request is made in writing to the Administrative Agent (which Settlement Date shall be treated as the “Purchase Date” for such Non-Cash Purchase); provided, that (i) any Receivables included in such Non-Cash Purchase shall be treated as Eligible Receivables solely to the extent satisfying the definition thereof and (ii) each applicable condition precedent set forth in Section 5.2 shall be satisfied. In connection with each Purchase Date, and in recognition of the sale of the Receivables hereunder and the sale of the Collections as existing on the immediately preceding Cut-off Date, the Servicer and Seller shall as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days of such Purchase Date, deposit, or cause to be deposited, to the Collateral Agent’s Account, an amount equal to all Collections and other proceeds actually received by any ADT Entity with respect to such Pool Receivable that were collected during the period from (and including) the immediately preceding Cut-off Date and to (and including) such Purchase Date, and such deposit shall satisfy 3 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
Seller’s and Servicer’s obligation to deposit or remit the corresponding portion of such Collections and other proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt, all Collections and other proceeds actually received after each Purchase Date, whether relating to a period prior to or after the related Purchase Date, shall be remitted to the Collateral Agent’s Account in accordance with this Agreement. (b) Payment of Cash Purchase. On each Purchase Date for any Purchase (other than any Non-Cash Purchase) which has been requested and approved in accordance with clause (a) above, the applicable Purchasers shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth herein (including in Article V) and upon the completion of the application of Collections in accordance with Section 3.1(d) with respect to such Purchase Date, pay their Allocated Share of the Cash Purchase Price with respect to such Purchase, which Cash Purchase Price shall equal the lesser of: (i) the amount requested by the Seller under clause (a) above, and (ii) the amount which, after giving effect to such Purchase and the application of all Collections on such Purchase Date in accordance with Section 3.1(d) is the largest amount that will not cause (a) the Purchasers’ Pool Investment to exceed the Purchasers’ Pool Limit, or (b) the sum of the Purchasers’ Pool Investment and the Required Reserves to exceed the Net Portfolio Balance. The Cash Purchase Price payable on any Purchase Date shall be paid in immediately available funds to the Seller at the account of the Seller specified on Schedule II or at such other account designated from time to time by the Seller or the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) in the related Purchase Request. (c) Sale of Receivables. On each Purchase Date, the Seller hereby sells, assigns, and transfers to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) (ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Investment), in consideration of the aggregate Cash Purchase Price paid on each such Purchase Date, if any, and the agreement to pay the RPA Deferred Purchase Price in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, effective upon Seller’s receipt of payment of such Cash Purchase Price for such Receivables (or in the case of a Non-Cash Purchase, effective on the Settlement Date immediately following the date such Purchase Request is made in writing to the Administrative Agent), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each of the Receivables specified on Annex A to the related Purchase Request, and (ii) all Related Assets with respect to such Receivables, in each case, as existing on the immediately preceding Cut-off Date. Notwithstanding such sale, assignment and transfer, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any right to sell, transfer or assign any Pool Receivables or Related Assets (or any interest therein) other than (x) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.2 following the Acceleration Date or (y) transfers of interests in the Receivable Pool and Related Assets in accordance with Section 13.3. On the Final Payout Date, all right, title and interest in, to and under the Pool Receivables and Related Assets shall revert back to the Seller, and any obligation to pay any RPA Deferred Purchase Price shall thereupon be extinguished. (d) Characterization as a Purchase and Sale; Recharacterization. (i) It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the transfer and conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the 4

 
Receivable Pool and Related Assets to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a pledge for security, and such purchase and sale of the Receivable Pool and Related Assets to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) hereunder shall be treated as a sale for all purposes (except for financial accounting purposes and except as may be permitted for tax purposes as provided in Section 1.2(d)(ii)). The provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the transfer and conveyance of the Receivable Pool and Related Assets to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) is characterized by any bankruptcy trustee or any other Person as a pledge and not a sale, the parties intend that the Seller shall be deemed hereunder to have granted, and the Seller does hereby grant, to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) a security interest in and general lien on all of the Seller’s right, title, and interest now or hereafter existing in, to and under all of the Seller’s assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located (whether or not in the possession or control of the Seller), including all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivable Pool and the Related Assets in respect thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be construed to require any party hereto to characterize the transfer and conveyance of any Receivables hereunder as a sale for financial accounting purposes. Each of the parties hereto further expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Purchases by the Purchasers hereunder, regardless of the intended true sale nature of the overall transaction, are financial accommodations (within the meaning of Section 365(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code to or for the benefit of the Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, the Receivables and Related Assets purchased by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the participating Purchasers on a Purchase Date, includes the right to receive all Collections and other proceeds payable or received by the Seller in respect of such Receivables on and after the Cut-off Date immediately preceding such Purchase Date, which Collections shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 7.1(h). (ii) Tax Treatment. (A) It is the intention of the Seller (or, if applicable, ADT), the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, and the Purchasers that, for purposes of U.S. federal income tax and state and local taxes measured by net income, each Purchase will be treated as a loan from the applicable Purchaser to ADT or the Seller, as the case may be, under applicable tax laws (it being understood that all payments to the Purchasers, in their capacity as such, representing Yield, fees and other amounts accrued under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to constitute interest payments or other payments in connection with such loan), and none of the Seller (or, if applicable, ADT), the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor the Purchasers shall take any position inconsistent therewith for such tax 5 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable laws as confirmed in the opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel and the person taking any such inconsistent position provides written advance notice to the other Affected Parties of such change in position, it being understood that the parties to this Agreement will otherwise defend in good faith such agreed- upon position prior to such change in position. (B) ADT and the Seller, by entering into this Agreement, and the Purchasers, by funding the Purchase of the Receivable Pool and Related Assets, agree to treat the Purchase of the Receivable Pool and Related Assets, for purposes of U.S. federal income tax and state and local taxes measured by net income, and for state and local sales and other transactional tax purposes, as creating indebtedness secured by the Receivable Pool and Related Assets. Accordingly, the Seller (or, if applicable, ADT), rather than the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers, or any other Affected Party, shall be entitled to and shall retain the benefit of (1) any bad debt deduction for written-off receivables for purposes of U.S. federal income tax and state and local taxes measured by net income, and (2) any deduction, credit, or refund with respect to state and local sales and other transactional taxes paid or collected and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority on written-off receivables. The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties. For purposes of this Section 1.2(d)(ii)(B), the term “Affected Party” shall include any assignee pursuant to Section 13.3(c) or 13.3(d). (e) Purchasers Limitation on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, none of the Purchasers, Purchaser Agents, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent shall be obligated (whether on behalf of a Purchaser or otherwise), to pay any amount to the Seller in respect of any portion of the RPA Deferred Purchase Price relating to the Receivable Pool, except in accordance with Section 1.2(g), from available Collections deposited in the Collateral Agent’s Account. Any amount which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Purchaser Agent or a Purchaser is not obligated to pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in § 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or obligation of, any Purchaser Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Purchaser, or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, for any such insufficiency unless and until such amount becomes available for distribution to the Seller pursuant to the terms hereof and such party is contractually obliged to make such payment. (f) Obligations Not Assumed. The foregoing sale, assignment, transfer, and conveyance does not constitute, and is not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser of any obligation or liability of the Seller, ADT, the Servicer, or any other Person under or in connection with all, or any portion of, the Receivable Pool or Related 6

 
Assets, all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of the Seller, ADT, the Servicer, and such other Persons, as applicable. (g) RPA Deferred Purchase Price. In accordance with the terms of, and subject to the limitations set forth in, this Agreement, the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers in each Purchaser Group) shall pay to the Seller the RPA Deferred Purchase Price relating to the Receivable Pool on each Settlement Date from the related Monthly Collections that are available for allocation therefor (if any) pursuant to Section 3.1(d)(vii). Any payment of any amount of RPA Deferred Purchase Price shall be deemed to be made by each Purchaser Group according to its Proportionate Share of such amount. Any amounts properly distributed to the Seller in accordance with this Section 1.2(g) in respect of the RPA Deferred Purchase Price shall be for the account of the Seller, and may be applied by the Seller for so long as no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination would be continuing immediately after such application, toward the purchase of additional Receivables and Related Assets or may be distributed to ADT. ARTICLE II COMPUTATIONAL RULES SECTION 2.1 Selection of Rate Tranches. Subject to the requirements set forth in this Article II, each Purchaser Agent shall from time to time, only for purposes of computing Yield with respect to each Purchaser in its Purchaser Group, account for such Purchaser’s Investment in terms of one or more Rate Tranches and the applicable Yield Rate, which may be different for each Rate Tranche. Each Purchaser’s Investment in respect of the Receivable Pool shall be allocated to each Rate Tranche by the related Purchaser Agent to reflect the funding sources for each portion of the Receivable Pool so that: (a) there will be one or more Rate Tranches in respect of the Receivable Pool, selected by each Purchaser Agent, reflecting the portion, if any, of the aggregate Investment of the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group funded or maintained by such Purchasers other than through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes (including by outstanding Liquidity Advances or by funding under an Enhancement Agreement); and (b) there will be a Rate Tranche in respect of the Receivable Pool, selected by each Purchaser Agent, equal to the excess of the aggregate Investment of the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group over the aggregate amounts allocated at such time pursuant to clause (a) above, which Rate Tranche shall reflect the portion of such aggregate Investment funded or maintained by such Purchasers through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes. Each Purchaser Agent may in its sole discretion, allocate all or any portion of any Purchaser’s Investment in respect of any Purchaser in its Purchaser Group to one or more Rate Tranches as such Purchaser Agent shall select. 7 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
SECTION 2.2 Computation of each Purchaser’s Investment and each Purchaser’s Tranche Investment. In making any determination of the Purchasers’ Pool Investment, any Purchaser’s Investment and any Purchaser’s Tranche Investment, the following rules shall apply: (a) (a) each Purchaser’s Investment shall not be considered reduced unless Collections available for distribution pursuant to Section 3.1(d)(iv) shall have been actually paid to, and received by, the applicable Purchaser Agent for application hereunder to reduce such Purchaser’s Investment in accordance with the terms hereof; (b) each Purchaser’s Investment (or any other amounts payable under any Transaction Document) shall not be considered reduced (or paid) by any distribution of any portion of Collections or other payments, as applicable, if at any time such distribution or payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason; and (c) if there is any reduction in any Purchaser’s Investment, there shall be a corresponding reduction (in the aggregate) in such Purchaser’s Tranche Investment with respect to one or more Rate Tranches selected by the related Purchaser Agent in its reasonable discretion. SECTION 2.3 Computation of Yield. In making any determination of Yield, the following rules shall apply: (a) Yield shall accrue daily on the Purchasers’ Pool Investment on such day. Each Purchaser Agent shall determine the Yield accruing with respect to each Rate Tranche for the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group daily, in accordance with the definition of Yield; (b) no provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or permit the collection of Yield in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable Law; and (c) Yield for any Rate Tranche shall not be considered paid by any distribution or other payment if at any time such distribution or payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason. SECTION 2.4 Yield Rate, Fees, Etc. It is understood and agreed that (a) the Yield Rate for any Rate Tranche may change from one applicable Yield Period or Settlement Period to the next, and the applicable Bank Rate, Base Rate, CP Rate or Hedge Rate used to calculate the applicable Yield Rate may change from time to time and at any time during an applicable Yield Period or Settlement Period, (b) any rate information provided by any Purchaser Agent to the Seller or the Servicer shall be based upon such Purchaser Agent’s good faith estimate. SECTION 2.5 Benchmark Replacement. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Seller may mutually agree to amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment will become effective without any further action or consent 8

 
of the Purchase Agents, Purchasers or the Servicer: at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day (or such earlier Business Day set forth in the notice of such proposed amendment) after the Administrative Agent and the Seller have provided such proposed amendment to the Purchaser Agents and the Servicer in all cases. No replacement of the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.5 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. (a) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent and the Seller will have the right to mutually agree to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers. (b) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Seller, the Servicer and each Purchaser Agent of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent and the Seller pursuant to this Section 2.5, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion and without consent from any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or the Servicer, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.5. (c) Benchmark Unavailability Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Yield that would be computed using the LIBO Rate shall be computed using the Base Rate. ARTICLE III SETTLEMENTS SECTION 3.1 Settlement Procedures. The parties hereto will take the following actions with respect to each Settlement Date: (a) Information Package. By no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to each Settlement Date (or in the case of the initial Settlement Date, such Settlement Date) specified in clause (a) of the definition thereof, (each a “Reporting Date” for and related to the Settlement Period ending immediately prior to such date and, to the extent required in clause (b) below, the Yield Period ending immediately prior to such Settlement Date), 9 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

applications set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall rely upon the certifications (the “Demand Certifications”) of each of the Collateral Agent (if other than the Administrative Agent) and each of the Purchaser Agents (if other than the Administrative Agent) as to the ADT Obligations then due and payable to it (or in respect of a Purchaser Agent owing to it and its related Purchasers, Affected Parties and Indemnified Parties).

If the Seller or the Servicer shall be required by applicable Law to make any such withholding or deduction, (A) the Seller (or the Servicer, on its behalf) shall make an additional payment to such Affected Party, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required withholdings or deductions (including withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.3(e)), such Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (B) the Seller (or the Servicer, on its behalf) shall make such deductions, and (C) the Seller (or the Servicer, on its behalf) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Affected Party shall recover, whether through a payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.3(e)(i) or a payment pursuant to the indemnification obligations of this Section 3.3(e)(ii), more than once for any Tax imposed. Any indemnification under this Section 3.3(e)(ii) shall be paid by the Seller to the Collateral Agent’s Account by the date which is no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Settlement Date immediately succeeding the Settlement Period in which written demand therefor is made by any Affected Party , together with a statement of reasons for such demand and the calculations of such amount. Such calculations, if made in good faith, absent manifest error, shall be final and conclusive on all parties.

Administrative Agent, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). (iv) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of, or any assignment by, any Affected Party, and the payment in full of Obligations hereunder. (v) (A) Any Affected Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Servicer and at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Servicer as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Affected Party, if reasonably requested by the Seller or the Servicer, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Seller or the Servicer as will enable the Seller or the Servicer to determine whether or not such Affected Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, submission of such documentation (other than any documentation required by clause (B) below) shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution, or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser.

In addition, each such Affected Party shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates, documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to, or subject to a reduced rate of, such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Seller or the Administrative Agent. (2) Each Affected Party that is a “United States person,” shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, deliver to the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents, or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) or any other applicable certificate or statement of exemption properly completed and duly executed by such Affected Party establishing that payment made to such Affected Party is not subject to United States Federal backup withholding Tax under the Code. In addition, each such Affected Party shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates, documents, or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Seller or the Administrative Agent. (3) Each Affected Party that is entitled to any exemption or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax with respect to any payment under this Agreement shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, deliver to the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents, or other evidence as may reasonably be requested by the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) or the Administrative Agent, establishing that such payment is not subject to, or is subject to a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, each such Affected Party shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates, documents, or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to such withholding, or are subject to a reduced rate of withholding, upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) or the Administrative Agent. (4) If a payment made to an Affected Party under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Party 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 Affected 19 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
Party shall deliver to the Seller (or the Servicer on behalf of the Seller) and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller (or the Servicer on behalf of Seller) or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller (or the Servicer on behalf of Seller) or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Seller (or the Servicer on behalf of the Seller) and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Party has complied with such Affected Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. (vi) For purposes of this Section 3.3(e), “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Purchaser by the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Purchase from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e)(vii). (viii) Any Affected Party claiming compensation under Section 4.2(a) or any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to, at the expense of the Servicer, file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Seller or the Servicer or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Party. 20

 
(ix) If any Affected Party receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Seller or with respect to which the Seller has paid additional amounts, in each case pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly repay such refund to the Seller (to the extent of amounts that have been paid by the Seller (or the Servicer, on its behalf) under this Section with respect to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) of such Affected Party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Seller (or the Servicer, on its behalf) upon the request of such Affected Party, agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest, or other charges) to such Affected Party in the event such Affected Party or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund. Nothing in this Section shall obligate any Affected Party to apply for any such refund. (x) If ADT determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting an Indemnified Tax for which it has paid additional amounts or indemnification payments, each applicable Affected Party shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with ADT as ADT may reasonably request in challenging such Tax. ADT shall indemnify and hold each such Affected Party harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such person in connection with any request made by ADT pursuant to this Section 3.3(e)(x). (xi) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3, if any Affected Party shall, to its knowledge, have received notice of any attempt by a taxing authority to impose or collect any Indemnified Tax from such Affected Party, such Affected Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Servicer (on the Seller’s behalf) of such attempt, and the Seller shall, provided that the Seller shall first deposit with the applicable Purchaser Agent amounts sufficient to indemnify the Affected Party as provided under Section 3.3(e)(ii), have the right, at their sole expense, (A) if such Affected Party is contesting the imposition of any such Tax in good faith by appropriate proceedings, to be kept reasonably informed by such Affected Party about the progress of such proceedings, or (B) if such Affected Party is not so contesting, to initiate any proceedings resisting or objecting to the imposition or collection of any such Tax. (xii) The Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) shall pay, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, Other Taxes.

So long as the Seller or the Servicer shall hold any Collections (including Deemed Collections) required to be paid to the Collateral Agent’s Account, the Seller and the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the Collateral Agent and shall clearly mark its records to reflect the same. The Seller shall promptly enforce all obligations of ADT under the Sale Agreement, including, payment of Deemed Collections (as defined in the Sale Agreement). SECTION 3.5 Extension of the Purchase Termination Date. Provided that no Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, no earlier than three (3) months prior to (but no later than forty-five (45) days prior to) the then current Purchase Termination Date, the Seller (or the Servicer on the Seller’s behalf) may request an extension of the then current Purchase Termination Date by submitting a request for an extension (each, an “Extension Request”) to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, which the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each Purchaser Agent. Such Extension Request must specify (i) the date (which must be at least thirty (30) days after the applicable Extension Request is delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent) as of which each Purchaser is requested to respond to such Extension Request by (each, a “Response Date”). Promptly upon receipt of an Extension Request, each Purchaser Agent (on behalf of its Purchasers) shall notify the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) as to whether each Purchaser in its Purchaser Group approves such Extension Request (it being understood that each Purchaser in a Purchaser Group may accept or decline such Extension Request in its sole discretion). The failure of any Purchaser to affirmatively notify the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) of such Purchaser’s election regarding such Extension Request by the applicable Response Date shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Purchaser to grant the requested extension. In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers with Pool Limits which aggregate to an amount at least equal to 75% of the then current Purchasers’ Pool Limit shall approve of such request (such date, the “Approval Date”), then the current Purchase Termination Date shall be extended to the date which is 364 days after such Approval Date and each such Purchaser and the other parties hereto that approved such Extension Request shall enter into such documents as the Administrative Agent and such Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension. In the event that the Purchasers relating to a Purchaser Group decline an Extension Request (each such declining Purchaser, an “Exiting Purchaser”), the Purchaser Agent for such Exiting Purchasers shall so notify the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller), the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, and each of the other parties hereto of such Exiting Purchaser’s determination. If the Purchasers of a Purchaser Group become Exiting Purchasers, such Purchaser Groups’ Pool Limit shall automatically be reduced to zero on the then-current Purchase Termination Date, without giving effect to any other Purchasers of any other Purchaser Group’s agreement to extend the Purchase Termination Date, if any. This Section 3.5 shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the ability of the parties hereto to extend the Purchase Termination Date pursuant to an amendment in accordance with Section 13.1. SECTION 3.6 Account Control. (a) The Servicer acknowledges, represents and agrees that it has established each of the Lock-box Accounts, each of the Collection Accounts and the Omnibus Account and further acknowledges, represents and agrees that each such Account is a deposit 22

 
account maintained at an Eligible Bank. Without limiting the Servicer’s obligation pursuant to Clauses (c) or (d) of Section 7.6, if, at any time, any Lock-box Account, any Collection Account or the Omnibus Account ceases to be with an Eligible Bank, the Servicer shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Servicer or the Seller has knowledge thereof, (i) establish a new Lock-box Account, Collection Account or Omnibus Account, as the case may be, with a depository institution that is an Eligible Bank, (ii) transfer any amounts held in such Account to such new Lock-box Account, Collection Account or Omnibus Account, as the case may be, and (iii) cause a Payment Direction or Control Agreement to be in full force and effect in respect of such Eligible Bank. The Servicer shall not terminate any Collection Account or the Omnibus Account except as contemplated by this Section 3.6 without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. (b) The Collateral Agent hereby agrees that it shall (i) not deliver a Remittance Notice unless an Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) deliver a Remittance Notice to ADT simultaneously with delivery of such Remittance Notice to the applicable account bank, and (iii) promptly rescind such Remittance Notice upon the cure or waiver of such Event of Termination, so long as no other Event of Termination or the Acceleration Date shall have occurred. ADT and the Collateral Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that the Daily Remittance Amount is intended to reflect the estimated amount of Collections. Accordingly, (i) ADT hereby agrees that after the delivery of the Remittance Notice, it shall not direct the account bank in respect of the Omnibus Account to distribute, apply or otherwise transfer any amounts to an account other than the Collateral Agent’s Account or the Reserve Account unless it has certified to the Collateral Agent that such amounts do not constitute Collections, together with reasonably detailed evidence supporting such certification and (ii) the Collateral Agent hereby agrees, and the parties hereto hereby acknowledge, that the Collateral Agent shall (A) promptly (following a two Business Day reconciliation period), cause an amount equal to the amount of Collections actually deposited to the Collateral Agent’s Account from the Omnibus Account since the date of delivery of such Remittance Notice, to be remitted (without duplication of any such amounts previously remitted) from the Reserve Account, to the extent funds are available therein, to the Omnibus Account, (B) remit amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account to the Collateral Agent’s Account in an amount equal to Collections (including Deemed Collections) that it reasonably determines in good faith (based upon ADT’s certification set forth in clause (i) above, the evidence supporting such certification, and the other reports, documents, certification and other information received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents) should have been deposited into the Collateral Agent’s Account but were not so deposited other than by reason of bankruptcy or insolvency, financial or credit condition or financial default, of the applicable Obligor (the “Missing Collections”); provided, that to the extent any such Missing Collections are otherwise subsequently deposited to the Collateral Agent’s Account with notice from ADT to the Collateral Agent that such amounts constitute Missing Collections and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent that such amounts constitute such Missing Collections, the Collateral Agent shall promptly credit such received Missing Collections (without any interest) to the Reserve Account to avoid duplication of Collections, and (C) notwithstanding any security interest in the Reserve Account, no amount from the 23 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
Reserve Account may be applied towards the payment of Obligations other than as set forth in subclause (B) above, and the Collateral Agent shall cause any amounts that remain in the Reserve Account (less any amounts owed to the applicable account bank) after the Final Payout Date to be distributed to or at the direction of ADT promptly following the Final Payout Date. (c) In addition, the Collateral Agent agrees that in the event any Lock-box Account, any Collection Account or the Omnibus Account is subject to a Payment Direction, and such account subsequently becomes subject to a Control Agreement or ADT certifies to the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent and each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent, with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, that no Collections are on deposit in such account and no further Collections on Pool Receivables can be deposited in such account, the Collateral Agent shall promptly terminate the Payment Direction relating to such account. ARTICLE IV FEES AND YIELD PROTECTION SECTION 4.1 Fees. From the Closing Date until the Final Payment Date, the Seller shall pay to the Collateral Agent for distribution to each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser, as applicable, on each Settlement Date subject to Section 3.1(d) all Fees. SECTION 4.2 Yield Protection. (a) If any Change in Law: (i) shall subject an Affected Party to any duty, cost or other charge (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 3.3(e)) with respect to any Investment or interest in the Receivable Pool or Related Assets owned, maintained or funded by it (or its participation in any of the forgoing), or any obligations or right to make Purchases or to provide funding or maintenance therefor (or its participation in any of the foregoing); (ii) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement against assets of any Affected Party, deposits, or obligations with or for the account of any Affected Party or with or for the account of any Affiliate (or entity deemed by the Federal Reserve Board or other Governmental Authority to be an affiliate) of any Affected Party, or credit extended by any Affected Party; (iii) shall impose any other condition affecting any Investment or the Receivable Pool or Related Assets owned, maintained, or funded in whole or in part by any Affected Party, or its obligations or rights, if any, to make (or participate in) Purchases or to provide (or participate in) funding therefor or the maintenance thereof; 24

 
(iv) shall change the rate for, or changes the manner in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or a successor thereto) or similar Person assesses, deposit insurance premiums, or similar charges which an Affected Party is obligated to pay; or (v) shall (i) change the amount of capital maintained or required or requested or directed to be maintained by any Affected Party or (ii) subject any Affected Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its Purchases, the Receivable Pool or Related Assets, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities, or capital attributable thereto; and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be, in each case, as determined by the applicable Purchaser Agent or the applicable Affected Party: (A) to increase the cost to (or impose a cost on) (1) an Affected Party funding or making or maintaining any Purchases, any purchases, or loans or other extensions of credit under any Liquidity Agreement, any Enhancement Agreement, or any commitment (hereunder or under any Liquidity Agreement or any Enhancement Agreement) of such Affected Party with respect to any of the foregoing, or (2) the Collateral Agent, any Purchaser Agent, or the Administrative Agent for continuing its relationship with any Purchaser; (B) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, any Liquidity Agreement or any Enhancement Agreement (or its participation in any such Liquidity Agreement or Enhancement Agreement) with respect thereto; or (C) to reduce the rate of return on the capital of such Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, under any Liquidity Agreement or under any Enhancement Agreement (or its participation in any such Liquidity Agreement or Enhancement Agreement), including its funding or maintenance of any portion of any Investment or the Receivable Pool or Related Assets, or arising in connection herewith (or therewith) to a level below that which such Affected Party could otherwise have achieved hereunder or thereunder, then, within three (3) Business Days following its receipt of notice from such Affected Party (or by the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent on its behalf) in accordance with Section 4.2(c), the Seller shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost or such reduction. (b) Each Affected Party (or the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent on its behalf), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has actual knowledge which will entitle such Affected Party to compensation pursuant to this 25 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
Section 4.2; provided, that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to this Section 4.2 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Seller of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. (c) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 4.2, an Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods that it, in its sole discretion, shall deem applicable. Any Affected Party (or the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent on its behalf) when making a claim under this Section 4.2 shall submit to the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller) and the Administrative Agent a written statement of such increased cost or reduced return, which statement, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding. (d) Except as set forth in Section 4.2(b), no failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party (or the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent) to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s (or the Administrative Agent’s or any Purchaser Agent’s on its behalf) right to demand such compensation or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any Affected Party to such compensation. (e) The Seller acknowledges that any Affected Party may institute measures in anticipation of a Change in Law (including, without limitation, the imposition of internal charges on such Affected Party’s interests or obligations under this Agreement), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the Seller under this Section 4.2 in connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such Change in Law, and the Seller agrees to pay such charges or compensation to such Affected Party (except for Taxes contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 4.2(a)(v)), to the extent such charges or compensation would otherwise be payable by the Seller under this Section 4.2 after such effective date of such Change in Law, following demand therefor without regard to whether such effective date has occurred but only to the extent of, and on or after such Affected Party’s measures must be implemented prior to such effective date at the demand of the applicable prudential regulator. The Seller further acknowledges that any charge or compensation demanded hereunder may take the form of a monthly charge to be assessed by such Affected Party. SECTION 4.3 Funding Losses. If any Affected Party incurs any cost, loss, or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party), at any time, as a result of (a) any optional or required settlement or repayment with respect to any Purchaser’s Tranche Investment of any Rate Tranche, howsoever funded, being made on any day other than the scheduled last day of an applicable Yield Period with respect thereto, (b) any Purchase not being completed by the Seller in accordance with its request therefor under Section 1.2, or (c) the failure to exercise or complete (in accordance with Section 3.2(b)) any reduction in Purchasers’ Pool Investment elected to be made under Section 3.2(b), (d) any reduction in Purchasers’ Pool Investment 26

 
elected under Section 3.2(b) exceeding the total amount of Rate Tranches, howsoever funded, with respect to which the last day of the related Yield Period is the date of such reduction, or (e) the failure to reduce Purchasers’ Pool Investment, then, upon written notice from such Affected Party (or the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent on its behalf) to the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller), the Seller shall pay to the Collateral Agent’s Account by the date which is no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Settlement Date immediately succeeding the Settlement Period in which such written notice is delivered by such Affected Party. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Seller and the Servicer. If an Affected Party incurs any cost, loss, or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party), at any time, and is not entitled to reimbursement for such loss or expense in the manner set forth above, such Affected Party shall individually bear such loss or expense without recourse to, or payment from, any other Affected Party. SECTION 4.4 Mitigation; Replacement of Purchasers. (a) If any Affected Party requests compensation under Section 4.2, or if the Seller is required to pay any additional amount to any Affected Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Party pursuant to Section 3.3(e), then such Affected Party and its related Purchaser Agent shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different office, branch or Affiliate for funding or booking its Investment hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Party or such Purchaser Agent, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 3.3(e), in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Affected Party or its related Purchaser Agent to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Party or its related Purchaser Agent. ADT hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Party and its related Purchaser Agent in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) If (i) any Purchaser (or Affiliated Party relating to such Purchaser) requests compensation under Section 4.2 or (ii) any Purchaser has become an Exiting Purchaser, so long as no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination has occurred and remains continuing, the Seller may, at ADT’s sole expense and effort (including payment of any applicable processing and recordation fees), upon notice to the Collateral Agent, the related Purchaser Agent and the Administrative Agent, require all Purchasers in the Purchaser Group relating to such Purchaser to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement), all of their respective interests, rights, and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to a willing assignee that is an Eligible Assignee and that shall assume such interests, rights, and obligations pursuant to a written agreement reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, and the assigning Purchasers; provided, that (x) the Seller shall have received the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignee that is not already a member of a Purchaser Group hereunder, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and (y) each member of such assigning Purchaser 27 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
Group shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding Investments and Yield in respect thereof, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee or the Seller; provided, further, that any such assigning Purchaser shall be a beneficiary of any of this Agreement’s terms that expressly survive termination of this Agreement; and provided, still further, that if the Person then serving as the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent is a member of the Purchaser Group being removed pursuant to this Section, such Person shall cease to be the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, upon the foregoing assignment and such assignment shall not be effective until a successor Collateral Agent and/or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, has been appointed by the Required Purchasers and has accepted such appointment and assumed all of the obligations of such Person.

(vii) the failure or delay to provide any Obligor with an invoice or other evidence of indebtedness; (viii) any failure of the Seller or it to assign any Pool Receivable or Related Asset purported to be assigned as contemplated under the Transaction Documents, or the violation or breach by any ADT Entity of any confidentiality provision, or of any similar covenant of non- disclosure, with respect to any Contract, or any other Indemnified Amount payable hereunder with respect to or resulting from any such violation or breach; (ix) the existence or assertion of any Adverse Claim in favor of any Governmental Authority or any other Person against any Omnibus Account, Collection Account, Lock-box, Lock-box Account, Collections, Receivable, Service Charge Receivable, or any related Contract, or any portion or proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, as a result of any portion of such Omnibus Account, Collection Account, Lock-box, Lock-box Account, Collections, Receivable, Service Charge Receivable, or any related Contract being attributable to governmental fees, surcharges, or taxes and (x) Mizuho’s entry into the Payment Direction with respect to the Omnibus Account and the Control Agreement with respect to the Reserve Account, and the arrangements and transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XII, excluding Indemnified Amounts solely to the extent (w) resulting from the fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (x) resulting from the uncollectability of any such Pool Receivables not arising from any action or breach of any ADT entity, (y) they constitute recourse with respect to a Pool Receivable by reason of bankruptcy or insolvency, or the financial or credit condition or financial default, of the related Obligor, or (z) constitute special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages. ARTICLE XIII MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 13.1 Amendments, Etc. (a) No amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Seller or ADT therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Seller, ADT, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, and the Required Purchasers, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver, or modification shall (i) decrease the outstanding amount of, or extend the repayment of or any scheduled payment date for the payment of, any Yield in respect of the Purchasers’ Pool Investment or any Fees owed to any Purchaser, the Collateral Agent, any Purchaser Agent or the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of such Person; (ii) forgive or waive or otherwise excuse any repayment of the Purchasers’ Pool Investment without the prior written consent of each Purchaser and the related Purchaser Agent affected thereby; (iii) increase the Purchase Group Limit in respect of any Purchaser Group without its prior written consent; (iv) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 13.1, or the definition of “Acceleration Date”, “Delinquent Receivable”, “Defaulted Receivable”, “Eligible Receivable”, “Event of Termination”, “Unmatured Event of Termination”, “Required Purchasers”, “Net Portfolio Balance”, “Purchase Termination Date” (other than pursuant to an extension thereof in accordance with Section 3.5), “Required 81 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
Reserves”, “Yield Period” or “Settlement Period” (or any of the definitions used in any such preceding definition in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in this Section 13.1), in each case, without the prior written consent of each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent, or (v) release all or any material part of the Pool Receivables or Related Assets from the security interest granted by the Seller to the Collateral Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent; provided, further, that the consent of ADT and the Seller shall not be required for the effectiveness of any amendment which modifies on a prospective basis, the representations, warranties, covenants, or responsibilities of the Servicer at any time when the Servicer is not an Affiliate of ADT or the fees and expenses payable to any such Servicer. Notwithstanding anything in any Transaction Document to the contrary, none of the Seller or ADT shall amend, waive, or otherwise modify any other Transaction Document, or consent to any such amendment or modification, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, and the Required Purchasers. (b) To the extent that the Seller and ADT consent to an Initial Syndication, and it or any other assignment is to a Conduit Purchaser, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith to amend or amend and restate this Agreement to reflect prevailing terms in receivables financing transactions which include Conduit Purchasers; provided, that nothing in this Section 13.1(b) shall require any party to this Agreement to consent to an amendment that adversely affects such party in any significant manner. SECTION 13.2 Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile and email communication) and shall be personally delivered or sent by express mail or nationally recognized overnight courier or by certified mail, first class postage prepaid, or by facsimile or email, to the intended party at the address, facsimile number, or email address of such party set forth in Schedule I or at such other address, facsimile number, or email address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall be effective, (a) if personally delivered or sent by express mail or courier or if sent by certified mail, when received, and (b) if transmitted by facsimile or email, when receipt is confirmed by telephonic or electronic means. SECTION 13.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments. (a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Seller and ADT may not assign or transfer any of their rights or delegate any of their duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior consent of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent. (b) Participations. Any Purchaser may sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment, waiver or other modification of 82

 
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, ADT, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, each Purchaser Agent, each other Purchaser and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder. Each Participant shall be subject to the requirements under Section 3.3(e)(v) as if such Participant were a Purchaser, it being understood that the documentation required under such section shall be delivered to the participating Purchaser. A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments that require the consent of all Purchasers or all Purchaser Agents. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the Purchases (and Yield, fees, and other similar amounts under this Agreement) of each Participant’s interest in the interests of such Purchaser under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser 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 Pool Receivables or Related Assets or other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest 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 Purchaser 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, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (c) Assignment by Conduit Purchasers. This Agreement and each Conduit Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its interest in the Pool Receivables or Related Assets) or any other Transaction Document shall be freely assignable in whole or in part by such Conduit Purchaser and its successors and permitted assigns to any Eligible Assignee without the consent of ADT, the Servicer or the Seller except to the extent such consent may be required solely in accordance with clause (iv) of the definition of Eligible Assignee. Each assignor of all or a portion of its interest in the Pool Receivables or Related Assets shall notify the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent, and ADT (on its and the Seller’s behalf) of any such assignment. Each assignor of all or a portion of its interest in the Pool Receivables or Related Assets may, in connection with such assignment and subject to Section 13.8, disclose to the assignee any information relating to the Pool Receivables or Related Assets, furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of the Seller, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein (other than Section 13.3(f)), each Conduit Purchaser may at any time pledge, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Pool Receivables or Related Assets or under this Agreement to a Collateral Trustee, in each case without notice to or the consent of any other party hereto, but such pledge, grant, or transfer shall not relieve any Person from its obligations hereunder. 83 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
(d) Assignment by Non-Conduit Purchasers. Each Purchaser which does not constitute a Conduit Purchaser may freely assign to any Eligible Assignee without the consent of the Seller, ADT or the Servicer except as required pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of Eligible Assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document (including all or a portion of its interest in the Pool Receivables or Related Assets) in each case, with prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the related Purchaser Agent and with prior written notice to Servicer (on its and the Sellers’ behalf); provided, however, the parties to each such assignment (other than an assignment described in clause (B) above) shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and the Servicer (on its and the Seller’s behalf), for its recording in the Register, a duly executed and enforceable joinder to this Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto (“Joinder”). From and after the effective date specified in such Joinder, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Joinder, have the rights of a Purchaser thereunder and (y) the assigning Purchaser shall, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Joinder, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement. In addition, any Purchaser that constitutes a banking institution may assign all or any portion of its rights (including its interest in the Pool Receivables or Related Assets) under this Agreement to any Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Purchaser without notice to or consent of the Seller, the Servicer, any other Purchaser, the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.3, but subject to Section 13.1(b), the Initial Syndication shall require the prior written consent of the Seller and ADT, which may be withheld in their sole respective discretions. (e) Register. (i) The Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Sellers) shall in respect of the Receivable Pool maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers, and the Purchases (and Yield, fees, and other similar amounts under this Agreement) pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Purchasers shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information contained in the Register for all purposes hereunder (including with respect to the identities of the Purchasers and the amount of their Investment) and otherwise treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser for all purposes hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. The Register shall be available for inspection by the 84

 
Seller, the Servicer and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (ii) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain in the Register each assignee’s interest or obligations under the Transaction Documents with respect to each assignment pursuant to Section 13.3(c) or 13.3(d) and shall record such assignment upon notice from the applicable Purchaser. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (f) Status of Receivables. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless disposed of or assigned by the Servicer or the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.2), each Purchaser’s interest in the Pool Receivables or Related Assets shall remain subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions relating to the re-conveyance of Receivables to the Seller or the Servicer, notwithstanding any sale or assignment of such interest by such Purchaser. (g) Status of Conduit Purchasers. So long as any Conduit Purchaser holds any Investment, such Conduit Purchaser shall be a multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduit. SECTION 13.4 No Waiver; Remedies; Set-Off. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Liquidity Provider, any Enhancement Provider, any Affected Party, any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent, or any Indemnified Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, or remedies provided by Law. Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the foregoing, each Purchaser, each Purchaser Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Enhancement Provider, each Liquidity Provider, each Affected Party, and any of their Affiliates (each a “Set-off Party”) are each hereby authorized at any time during the continuance of an Event of Termination, (in addition to any other rights it may have) to setoff, appropriate, and apply (without presentment, demand, protest, or (subject to the last sentence hereof) any other notice, each of which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Set-off Party (including by any branches or agencies of such Set-off Party) to, or for the account of, any ADT Entity against amounts owing by any ADT Entity under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (even if contingent or unmatured). For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Set-off Party shall not set off against any deposits of ADT with respect to any obligations of the Seller or against the Seller for any obligations of ADT. Each Set-off Party (or its related Purchaser Agent, if applicable) shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Purchaser Agent, the Seller and the Servicer of its exercise of set-off rights pursuant to this Section 13.4, which notice shall specify (i) the amount of the Obligations setoff, (ii) whether such Obligations constitute Seller Obligations or ADT Obligations, (iii) if the setoff was against amounts payable to any ADT Entity (other than 85 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
the Seller), the type of ADT Obligation to which such setoff relates, and (iv) the effective date of such setoff. Following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any such notice from a Set-off Party (or its related Purchaser Agent, if applicable) in respect of an ADT Obligation which had been setoff, the Administrative Agent shall, if it had received a Demand Collection in respect of such ADT Obligation, make appropriate adjustments to the amounts distributable by it pursuant to Section 3.3(a) to reflect such setoff to the extent that such ADT Obligation Payments were not previously applied pursuant to Section 3.3(a). Following the Collateral Agent’s receipt of any such notice from a Set-off Party (or its related Purchaser Agent, if applicable) in respect of a Seller Obligation which had been setoff, the Collateral Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the amounts allocated and distributed pursuant to Section 3.1(d) to reflect such setoff of such Seller Obligation by such Set-off Party; provided that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to make any such adjustment in respect of a Settlement Date unless, it has received the applicable notice of setoff on or prior to the Reporting Date immediately preceding such Settlement Date. For purposes of the above adjustments by the Collateral Agent, all setoff, effected by a Set-off Party shall be deemed to have been applied to Seller Obligations in the reverse order of application of the Seller Obligations as set forth in Section 3.1(d). SECTION 13.5 Binding Effect; Survival. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Seller, ADT, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser, and the provisions of Section 4.2 and Article XII shall inure to the benefit of the Affected Parties and Indemnified Parties, respectively, and their respective successors and assigns. (b) Each Liquidity Provider, each Enhancement Provider, and each other Affected Party are express third party beneficiaries hereof. Subject to clause (i) of Section B of Appendix A hereto, this Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any other Person, other than the third party beneficiaries specified in this Section 13.5(b). (c) This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Final Payout Date. The rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by the Seller pursuant to Article VI and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article XII and Sections 1.2(e), 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 11.7, 13.4, 13.5, 13.6, 13.7, 13.8, 13.11, 13.12, 13.13, and 13.16 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. SECTION 13.6 Costs and Expenses. The Seller shall promptly pay, (x) on the Closing Date, with respect to all such costs and expenses incurred on or prior to the Closing Date and for which invoices have been provided reasonably prior to the Closing Date and (y) by 86

 
remittance to the Collateral Agent’s Account within three (3) Business Days of demand, with respect to all other such costs and expenses, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser and each Purchaser Agent in connection with: (a) the negotiation, preparation, execution, and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any amendment of or consent or waiver under any of the Transaction Documents (whether or not consummated), or the enforcement of, or any actual or claimed breach of, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents including reasonable and documented accountants’, auditors’, consultants’, and attorneys’ fees and expenses to any of such Persons and the reasonable and documented fees and charges of any nationally recognized statistical rating agency or any independent accountants, auditors, consultants, or other agents incurred in connection with any of the foregoing or in advising such Persons as to their respective rights and remedies under any of the Transaction Documents in connection with any of the foregoing; and (b) subject only to the limitations in Sections 7.1(c) and 7.4(c), the administration (including periodic auditing and inspections as provided for herein) of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, including all reasonable and documented expenses and accountants’, consultants’, and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the administration and maintenance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, that so long as no Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination has occurred and remains continuing, the Seller’ obligation to pay the reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents shall be limited to paying the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of two (one if the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent are Affiliates or the same Person) law firms, each one selected by the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; provided, however, that such limitation shall not be applicable in respect of any Person if such limitation on representation would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to one such Person that are different from or additional to those available to any other such Person; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no limitation on the reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser, or any Purchaser Agent during the continuance of an Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination shall be applicable even if such event subsequently ceases to be continuing. SECTION 13.7 No Proceedings; Limited Recourse. (a) The Seller, ADT, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser, and each Purchaser Agent, each hereby agrees that it will not 87 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
institute against any Conduit Purchaser, or join any other Person in instituting against any Conduit Purchaser, any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Event of Bankruptcy from the Closing Date until one year plus one day following the last day on which all Commercial Paper Notes and other publicly or privately placed indebtedness of such Conduit Purchaser shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. The foregoing shall not limit any such Person’s right to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted by any Person other than such parties. (b) The Servicer, ADT, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser, and each Purchaser Agent, each hereby agrees, and each Affected Party, Indemnified Party, Set-off Party and each other Person (other than the Seller) obtaining any benefits from this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, by its acceptance of such benefits, shall be deemed to have agreed, that it will not institute against the Seller, or join any other Person in instituting against the Seller, any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Event of Bankruptcy. The foregoing shall not limit the right of any such Person (each, a “Seller Creditor”) right to file any claim in or otherwise take any action with respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted by any Person other than such Seller Creditor, to the extent such Seller Creditor has not otherwise caused the institution of such proceeding. All claims against the Seller of any Seller Creditor that has instituted or has caused the institution of such a proceeding shall be subordinated to the claims of each Seller Creditor that has not instituted or caused the institution of such a proceeding, and the foregoing agreement shall constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the obligations of the Seller hereunder and thereunder are solely the obligations of the Seller, payable solely from the Seller’s own assets. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of any Conduit Purchaser under this Agreement are solely the obligations of such Conduit Purchaser and shall be payable at such time as funds are received by or are available to such Conduit Purchaser in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all outstanding Commercial Paper Notes of such Conduit Purchaser and, if applicable, all obligations and liabilities of such Conduit Purchaser to any related Commercial Paper Note issuer, and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against such Conduit Purchaser but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11, of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Commercial Paper Notes; provided, however, that each party hereto agrees that for purposes of this Section 13.7(c), a Conduit Purchaser does not own a direct interest in the Pool Receivables, the Related Assets, Collections and the proceeds therefrom, but only a right to the amounts set forth as payable to it herein, and accordingly this Section 13.7(c) does not contemplate that amounts payable to the Seller or Servicers from the proceeds of Pool Receivables and Related Assets, including 88

 
Collections, all as set forth herein, would be subordinated to the payment of a Conduit Purchaser’s Commercial Paper Notes. (d) No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Conduit Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall be had against any member, manager, officer, director, employee or agent of such Conduit Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely an obligation of each Conduit Purchaser individually, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, employee or agent of any Conduit Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such Conduit Purchaser contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by any Conduit Purchaser of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such member, manager, officer, director, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or omissions made by them. (e) Except as expressly provided in any Transaction Document, no recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing by the Seller in respect of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or for the payment of any fee hereunder or for any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement against the Servicer, any other ADT Entity or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (other than the Seller), or any stockholder, employee, officer, director, incorporator or beneficial owner of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not in any manner affect, limit or waive any of the obligations of the Servicer, any other ADT Entity or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that such Person may have under any Transaction Document. SECTION 13.8 Confidentiality. (a) Each party hereto acknowledges that the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser, and each Purchaser Agent regards the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be proprietary and confidential, and each such party severally agrees that: (i) it will not disclose without the prior consent of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent (other than to its Collateral Trustee (if any), and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, auditors, and counsel or other advisors (collectively, “representatives”) of such party, each of whom shall be informed by such party of the confidential nature of the Program Information (as defined below) and of the terms of this Section 13.8), (1) any information regarding the pricing terms in, or copies of, this Agreement, 89 SK 28677 0004 8494650 v1217

 
any other Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, (2) any information regarding the organization, business, or operations of any Purchaser generally or the services performed by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent for any Purchaser, or (3) any information which is furnished by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to such party and is designated by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to such party in writing as confidential (the information referred to in clauses (1), (2), and (3) is collectively referred to as the “Program Information”); provided that such party may disclose any such Program Information: (A) to any other party to this Agreement (and any representatives so long as they are informed that such information is confidential and agree to keep such information confidential) for the purposes contemplated hereby, (B) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or by applicable Laws, (C) as may be required by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such party, (x) in order to comply with any Law applicable to such party or (y) subject to subsection (c), in the event such party is legally compelled (by interrogatories, requests for information or copies, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any such Program Information, (D) to any permitted assignee of such party’s rights and obligations hereunder to the extent they agree to be bound by this Section 13.8, (E) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action, or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, or (F) to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization as contemplated by Section 17g-5 of the 1934 Act or in connection with obtaining or monitoring a rating on any Commercial Paper Notes, or (G) in connection with filings (including exhibit filings) required under the 1934 Act, as reasonably determined by the applicable filing party to be necessary or appropriate for the purposes of complying with applicable Law; (ii) it, and any Person to which it discloses such information, will use the Program Information solely for the purposes of evaluating, administering, performing and enforcing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and making any necessary business judgments with respect thereto; and (iii) it, and any Person to which it discloses such information, will, upon written demand from the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, return (and cause each of its representatives to return) to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent or destroy (whether to return or destroy being in the sole discretion of such party), all documents or other written material received from the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to clauses (2) or (3) of subsection (i) above and all copies thereof made by such party which contain all Program Information; provided however that it may retain one copy of such document or material and any Program Information incorporated into any of its credit review documentation, or as it otherwise deem necessary in order to comply with ordinary and customary retention requirements of financial institutions, sound banking practices and audit and examination 90

 
requirements or as otherwise may be required by applicable Law. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided in this Section 13.8(a) 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. (b) Availability of Confidential Information. Section 13.8(a) shall be inoperative as to such portions of the Program Information which are or become generally available to the public or such party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent or were known to such party on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent. (c) Legal Compulsion to Disclose. In the event that any party or anyone to whom such party or its representatives transmits the Program Information is requested or becomes legally compelled (by interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any of the Program Information, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and if practical to do so under the circumstances, such party shall provide the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent, and ADT with prompt written notice so that the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent may at the expense of ADT seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or if it so chooses, agree that such party may disclose such Program Information pursuant to such request or legal compulsion. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 13.8(c), such party will furnish only that portion of the Program Information which (in such party’s good faith judgment) is legally required to be furnished and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Program Information. (d) Disclosure of Tax Treatment and Structure.
