On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, SectionSections 2.13(b) and (c) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Agent, pursuant to Section 2.13(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Term Benchmark Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the Daily Simple RFR, LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” (or “EURIBOR Rate”, as applicable)any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.13(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.13(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Daily Simple RFR, the LIBO Rate (or the EURIBOR Rate, as applicable)existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate or the Tokyo interbank offered rate, as applicable)any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any Daily Simple RFR, any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower AgentBorrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any RFR, Daily Simple RFR or the Term Benchmark rateinterest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to theany Borrower Agent, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or

consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

(d)    Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof or renewing such Letter of Credit or extending the expiration thereof) and without any further action on the part of the relevant Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Applicable Participant, and each Applicable Participant hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Applicable Participant’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount from time to time available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Applicable Participant hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars (in the case of an LC Disbursement in an Alternative Currency, based on the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof at the time of drawing), for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank, such Applicable
-61-


Participant’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank to the extent not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Applicable Participant acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment made in accordance with this Section 2.05(d) by the Applicable Participant for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

If a Borrower fails to make such payment when due (or if any such reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason), then (A) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, the applicable Borrower’s or such other Person’s obligation to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement and (B) in the case of each LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each Applicable Participant of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Applicable Participant’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Applicable Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in Dollars using the Dollar Equivalent for the applicable Alternative Currency in relation to Dollars in effect on the date of determination, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Applicable Participant (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Applicable Participants), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the relevant Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Applicable Participants. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the relevant Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Applicable Participants have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Applicable Participants and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by an Applicable Participant pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f)    Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ respective obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and
-62-


irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the relevant Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the relevant Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the relevant Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the relevant Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the relevant Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g)    Disbursement Procedures. The relevant Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The relevant Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or transmission by electronic communication in accordance with Section 9.01(b)) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank and the Applicable Participants with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such reimbursement obligation set forth in clause (e) of this Section).
(h)    Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any

-63-


Applicable Participant pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Applicable Participant to the extent of such payment.
(i)    Replacement or Addition of Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced, or the LC Commitment of any Issuing Bank assigned, at any time by written agreement among the applicable Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the successor or assignee Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or assignment shall become effective, the applicable Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced or assigning Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement or assignment, (i) the successor or assignee Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the assigning Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or assignee or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank or the assignment of an LC Commitment hereunder, the replaced or assigning Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or with respect to its remaining LC Commitment (if any), but, in the case of a replacement, shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. A Lender may become an additional Issuing Bank hereunder at any time by written agreement among the applicable Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such additional Issuing Bank.
(j)    Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Agent receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, (x) Global Revolving Lenders with Global LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the Global LC Exposure or (y) U.S. Revolving Lenders with U.S. LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the U.S. LC Exposure, as applicable) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the applicable Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Applicable Participants, an amount in cash and in the relevant currencies equal to the Global LC Exposure and/or U.S. LC Exposure, as applicable, as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to a Borrower or the Parent Entity described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Article VII. The applicable Borrowers also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.22(a)(iii). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Monies in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrowers for the Global LC Exposure and/or U.S. LC Exposure, as applicable, at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of (x) Global Revolving Lenders with Global LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the Global LC Exposure, or (y) U.S. Revolving Lenders with U.S. LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the U.S. LC Exposure, as applicable), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the applicable Borrowers under the Loan Documents. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or pursuant to Section 2.22(a), such amount plus any accrued interest or realized profits with respect to such
-64-


amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or such collateral is no longer required pursuant to Section 2.22(a), as applicable.
(k)    Rollover of Existing Letters of Credit and Other Letters of Credit. Each of the Existing Letters of Credit outstanding under the Second Restated Credit Agreement on the Third Restatement Effective Date shall remain outstanding as (i) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, Global Letters of Credit and (ii) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in any other currency, Global Letters of Credit under this Agreement until otherwise returned or expired (in each case without any pending drawing). Any letter of credit that was issued by an Issuing Bank and is not a Letter of Credit will be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement on the date that the applicable Borrower, the Issuing Bank with respect to such letter of credit and the Administrative Agent sign an instrument identifying such letter of credit as a Letter of Credit under this Agreement; provided that such instrument may only be executed if such letter of credit would be permitted to be issued under this Agreement as a Letter of Credit on such date.
SECTION 2.06    Funding of Borrowings.
(a)    Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by (x) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m., New York City time and (y) in the case of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, 12:00 noon, Local Time, in the city of the Administrative Agent’s applicable payment office for such Alternative Currency, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Loan to be made on such date; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrower Agent in the applicable Borrowing Request (i) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, in New York City, (ii) in the case of Loans denominated in Euro or Sterling, in London, (iii) in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, in Toronto, Canada, and (iv) in the case of Loans denominated in Mexican Pesos, in Mexico City, Mexico and in each case designated by the Borrower Agent in the applicable Borrowing Request, provided that (x) Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Applicable Participants have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Applicable Participants and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear and (y) proceeds of Tranche A Term Loans made pursuant to the Tranche A Term Commitments shall be made available to the U.S. Parent Borrower on the Third Restatement Effective Date.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to (x) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, ABR Loans and (y) in the case of Loans

SECTION 2.07    Interest Elections.
(a)    Subject to Section 2.02(b), each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and Agreed Currency specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Agent may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided that the Borrowers may not elect to convert any Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency to an ABR Borrowing and may not change the currency in which any Borrowing is denominated. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.
(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower Agent were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be in a form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 or such other form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Agent. Each such Interest Election Request shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit a Borrower to (i) elect an Interest Period for Term Benchmark Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (ii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.
(c)    Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)    the Facility and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies, the Agreed Currency and the principal amount of Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies, and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing (in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars) or a Term Benchmark Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

-66-


If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)    If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of such Interest Period. If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing in an Alternative Currency prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Term Benchmark Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such Term Benchmark Borrowing shall automatically be continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing in its original Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Agent, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (x) each Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (y) each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency plus the Applicable Rate; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall either be (A) converted to an ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) at the end of the Interest Period, as applicable, therefor or (B) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period, as applicable, in full; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower Agent by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower Agent of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above.

Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Extended Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the respective maturity dates applicable thereto.

Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Agent pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower Agent may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or instruments of Indebtedness or other transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Agent (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments of any Class shall be permanent.

In such event, the applicable Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender promissory notes payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.

    (ii)    To the extent a Borrower seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, such Borrower will provide written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that such Borrower desires to prepay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by such Borrower (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of Term Loans shall not be less than $50,000,000. The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment: (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Term Loans and the Class of Term Loans to which such offer relates, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by the applicable Borrower with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of such Term Loans (the “Discount Range”) and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment which shall be at least five Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”).
    (iii)    Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each Lender with Term Loans may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a prepayment price of 80% of the par value of the Term Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Term Loans of each Class held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of Term Loans specified by the Lenders in Lender Participation Notices, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the applicable
-71-


Borrower, shall calculate the applicable discount for Term Loans (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage specified by such Borrower if such Borrower has selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which such Borrower can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans (as defined below). Any Lender with outstanding Term Loans under the applicable Class whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.
    (iv)    The applicable Borrower shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the applicable Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the applicable Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.
    (v)    Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five Business Days of the Acceptance Date, without premium or penalty (and without any amounts due under Section 2.15), upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time, two Business Days prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Term Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to, but not including, such date on the amount prepaid.
    (vi)    To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(iii) above) reasonably established by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent.
    (vii)    Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower may withdraw its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, with respect to a Loan denominated in Dollars, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its reasonable discretion in consultation with the Borrower Agent.
-76-

During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower Agent’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark
-77-


Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Agreed Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.13, (i) if such Term Benchmark Loan is denominated in Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such day, (ii) if such Term Benchmark Loan is denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency plus the Applicable Rate; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall, at the Borrower Agent’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrowers on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time or (iii) if such RFR Loan is denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, then such Loan shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency plus the Applicable Rate; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency, at the Borrower Agent’s election, shall either (A) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or (B) be prepaid in full immediately.
SECTION 2.14    Increased Costs.

(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the CDOR Rate or the TIIE Rate, as applicable) or Issuing Bank;
(ii)    impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London or other applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Agreed Currency any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or
(iii)    subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than any Excluded Taxes or any Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto.
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material in the context of its making of, and participation in, extensions of credit under this Agreement, then, upon the request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
-78-


compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, upon the request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation under this Section 2.14 based on the occurrence of a Change in Law arising solely from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, unless such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 2.14.

-79-


by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 or (v) the failure by a Borrower to make any payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereof) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profit) attributable to such event. In the case of a Term Benchmark Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the CDOR Rate or the TIIE Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan (and excluding any Applicable Rate), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (y) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable Agreed Currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such Agreed Currency, whether or not such Term Benchmark Loan was in fact so funded.

(b)    With respect to RFR Loans, in the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or an optional or mandatory prepayment of Loans), (ii) the failure to borrow or prepay any RFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10 and is revoked in accordance therewith), (iii) the assignment of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 or (iv) the failure by a Borrower to make any payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereof) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. SECTION 2.16 Taxes.
SECTION 2.16    Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes unless otherwise required by applicable law. If any Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any such payments (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent), then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and timely pay any such Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (ii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings for Indemnified Taxes (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) have been made, the Lender (or, in the case of a payment to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the

-80-


Administrative Agent) receives on the due date a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.
(b)    In addition, without duplication of Section 2.16(a), the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)    The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent (each a “Tax Indemnitee”), within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes, payable by such Tax Indemnitee (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) other than any penalties arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or Agent (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the applicable Governmental Authority; provided, however, that if the Lender or Administrative Agent does not notify the Borrower Agent of any indemnification claim under this Section 2.16 within 180 days after such Lender or Administrative Agent has received notice of the specific assessment or deficiency giving rise to such indemnification claim, the Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify such Lender or Administrative Agent for any incremental interest or penalties resulting from such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s failure to notify the Loan Parties within the 180 day period. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by the Tax Indemnitee or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Tax Indemnitee, accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, and in any event within 30 days of any such payment, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)    Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Loan Document. In addition, each Lender, if reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any of the foregoing documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 2.16(e)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.
Without limiting the foregoing:
(1)    Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (as an agent for all of the Borrowers) and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it

(D)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.16(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner(s)), or
(E)    two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents.
(3)    Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (as agent for all of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of an applicable IRS Form W-8 (or any successor form) certifying such Foreign Lender’s non-U.S. status.
(4)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of those Sections (including
-82-


those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (as agent for all of the Borrowers) and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, and to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under such Sections and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), SectionSections 1471 through 1474 of the Code shall include any amendments made to such sections after the date of this Agreement and any intergovernmental agreement (and any related Laws, regulations or official administrative practices) implementing the foregoing.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.16(e).
(f)    If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts or indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower Agent (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the applicable Loan Parties under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
(g)    For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender,” for purposes of this Section 2.16, shall include any Swingline Lender and any Issuing Bank.
(h)    The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers in attempting to recover any Indemnified Taxes that the Borrowers reasonably assert were improperly imposed if (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, such cooperation shall not subject the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or otherwise be materially disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and (ii) based on advice of the applicable Borrower’s (or applicable Loan Party’s) independent accountants or external legal counsel, there is a reasonable basis for such Loan Party to contest with the applicable Governmental Authority the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that any such attempts shall be at the sole cost of the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for any costs it incurs in connection with complying with this Section 2.16(h). The Borrowers shall have the right to dispute or challenge in a reasonable manner and only to the extent necessary to protect its rights under applicable law, and at its sole cost and expense, the imposition of
-83-


Indemnified Taxes with the relevant Governmental Authority. In no event will this Section 2.16(h) relieve any Borrower of its obligation to pay additional amounts or indemnification payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section 2.16. Any refund obtained shall be repaid to the applicable Borrower to the extent provided in Section 2.16(f).
(i)    (i) A UK Tax Deduction on a payment made by a UK Loan Party under a Loan Document shall be regarded as an Excluded Tax if:
(1)    on the date on which the relevant payment falls due, the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if such Lender had been a UK Qualifying Lender but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any Law or treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority;
(2)    the relevant Lender is a UK Treaty Lender and the UK Loan Party making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction had that Lender duly complied with its obligations under Section 2.16(i)(ii) and Section 2.16(i)(iii); or
(3)    the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (b) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender; and:
(A)    an officer of HMRC has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the ITA which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the UK Loan Party making the payment or the Borrower Agent a certified copy of that Direction; and
(B)     the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or
(4)    the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (b) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender and:
(A)    the relevant Lender has not given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Loan Party making the payment; and
(B)    the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Loan Party, on the basis that the UK Tax Confirmation would have enabled the UK Loan Party to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the ITA.
(ii)    Subject to paragraph (iii) below, a UK Treaty Lender and each UK Loan Party which makes a payment to which that UK Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that UK Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without any UK Tax Deduction.
(iii)     A UK Treaty Lender which becomes a party hereto (x) on the day on which this Agreement is entered into or (y) on a day after the date of this Agreement, that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this
-84-


Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence, in the case of a UK Treaty Lender falling within (x) above, in this Agreement or in writing to the UK Borrower and Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement or, in the case of a UK Treaty Lender falling within (y) above, in writing to the UK Borrower and Administrative Agent on the date on which it becomes a UK Treaty Lender. Where the UK Treaty Lender has supplied its HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in this Agreement or in writing to the UK Borrower and Administrative Agent: (a) the relevant UK Borrower shall take all reasonable steps to promptly file a completed HMRC Form DTTP2 in respect of that UK Treaty Lender; and (b) the relevant UK Treaty Lender shall be under no further obligation pursuant to paragraph (ii) above and this paragraph (iii) unless and until (i) the relevant UK Borrower notifies the relevant UK Treaty Lender in writing that (A) the UK Borrower has not submitted a HMRC Form DTTP2 in respect of that UK Treaty Lender; or (B) the UK Borrower’s HMRC Form DTTP2 has been rejected by HMRC; or (C) HMRC has not given the relevant UK Borrower authority to make payment to that UK Treaty Lender without a UK Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the UK Borrower submitting the HMRC Form DTTP2; or (ii) the relevant UK Borrower had received authority from HMRC to make payments to such Lender without a UK Tax Deduction as a result of submitting a Form DTTP2, but a Party becomes aware that as a result of (A) a withdrawal or expiry of that authority; or (B) a withdrawal or cessation of the HMRC DTTP Passport scheme due to any change in Law or change in practice of HMRC, it is no longer possible for such Loan Party to make payments to the Lender without a UK Tax Deduction by virtue of that authority, in which case that Party shall notify the other relevant Party, and (in each such case) that UK Treaty Lender and UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction. If a UK Treaty Lender has not confirmed its HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with this paragraph (iii), no UK Loan Party shall make a HMRC Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that UK Treaty Lender or its participation in any Loan unless the UK Treaty Lender otherwise agrees.
(iv)    Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall confirm in the documentation it executes on becoming a party hereto, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without any liability to any Loan Party, which of the following categories it falls in for the purposes of that Loan:
(1)    not a UK Qualifying Lender;
(2)    a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or
(3)    a UK Treaty Lender.
If a Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement in respect of an advance to a UK Borrower fails to indicate its status pursuant to the previous sentence, then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Loan Party) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall promptly inform the Borrower Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, any document pursuant to which a Lender becomes party to this Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this paragraph (iv).



-85-


(v)    A Lender which has given a UK Tax Confirmation shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation, following which the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent.
(vi)    A UK Loan Party shall promptly upon becoming aware that it has to make a UK Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a UK Tax Deduction) promptly notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent.
(j)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except as otherwise provided in Section 2.16(l), no Irish Borrower shall be required to make an increased payment to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 for Taxes in respect of any Tax imposed by Ireland from a payment of interest if on the date on which the payment falls due:
(i)    the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a deduction for Tax imposed by Ireland if such Lender was an Irish Qualifying Lender, but on that date such Lender is not or has ceased to be an Irish Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or tax treaty, or any practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority; or
(ii)    the relevant Lender is an Irish Treaty Lender and the payment could have been made to the Lender without a deduction for Tax had that Lender complied with its obligations under paragraph (k) below.
(k)    A Lender which is an Irish Treaty Lender and any Irish Borrower which makes a payment to which that Lender is entitled shall co-operate promptly in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax deduction.
(l)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Irish Borrower shall remain liable for any Taxes incurred by any Irish Qualifying Lender resulting from such Irish Borrower’s failure to provide any forms or exemption certificate or other documentation it is legally required to provide to entitle any Irish Qualifying Lender to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of Ireland, or any Irish Treaty.
(m)    Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement and makes a Loan to any Loan Party after the date of this Agreement shall confirm in the documentation it executes on becoming a party hereto, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and any Loan Party, which of the following categories it falls in for the purposes of that Loan:
(i)    not an Irish Qualifying Lender;
(ii)    an Irish Qualifying Lender (other than an Irish Treaty Lender); or
(iii)    an Irish Treaty Lender.
(n)    If a Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement fails to indicate its status pursuant to Section 2.16(m), then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Loan Party) as if it is not an Irish Qualifying Lender
-86-


until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Irish Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, any document pursuant to which a Lender becomes party to this Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with Section 2.16(m). Any Lender which ceases to be an Irish Qualifying Lender shall on ceasing to be an Irish Qualifying Lender, promptly notify each Loan Party that it has ceased to be an Irish Qualifying Lender.
(o)    On or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, any Administrative Agent that is a United States Person shall deliver to the Borrower two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form, certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Any Administrative Agent, and any successor or supplemental Administrative Agent, that is not a United States Person, shall deliver to the Borrower (A) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that, with respect to payments received by it (on behalf of the Lenders) from the United States Parent Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower, it is a “U.S. branch”, the payments are not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments and (B) with respect to payments received for its own account, two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(o), no Administrative Agent shall be required to provide any documentation it is legally ineligible to provide as a result of a Change in Law after the date hereof.
(p)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Tranche A Term Loans shall be treated as fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
SECTION 2.16A    VAT
(a)    All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Loan Party under a Loan Document, that party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).
(b)    If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any Finance Party (for purposes of this Section 2.16A, the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT.
(c)    Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Loan Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
-87-


SECTION 2.17    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a)    Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices referred to in Section 9.01 (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent), except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and (x) in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension and (y) in the case of any payment of fees, such fees shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in the currency of such Loan, and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in any Loan Document, all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.
(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, required cash collateral, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and cash collateral then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and cash collateral then due to such parties.
(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
-88-


(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the relevant Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the relevant Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
SECTION 2.18    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Any Lender claiming reimbursement of such costs and expenses shall deliver to the Borrower Agent a certificate setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 (or would be required to pay such amounts in the absence of such Lender’s election to convert its Global Revolving Facility to a U.S. Revolving Facility pursuant to the definition of Permitted Foreign Borrower Jurisdiction), or any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender is unable to fund its portion of any Loan as a result of any applicable law or regulation prohibiting, or any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority enjoining, prohibiting or restraining, any Lender from making any Loan requested by any Borrower or any Issuing Bank or any Lender from issuing, renewing, extending or increasing the face amount of or participating in the Letter of Credit requested to be issued, renewed, extended or increased by any Borrower, or if any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) fails to grant a consent (x) in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 9.02 for which the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender is required but the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained or (y) to extend Loans or Commitments pursuant to Section 2.20, then the applicable Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an
-89-


assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the applicable Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, to the extent required by Section 9.04, and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all fees and other amounts).
SECTION 2.19    Expansion Option.
(a)    The Borrowers may from time to time after the Restatement Effective Date elect to increase the Revolving Commitments or any Extended Revolving Commitments of any Class or establish additional Classes of Revolving Commitments (any of the foregoing, “Increased Commitments”) or enter into one or more Classes of term loans (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”), in each case in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $25,000,000 so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all such Increased Commitments and all such Incremental Term Loans established following the Restatement Effective Date does not exceed $1,000,000,000; provided that one or more Borrowers may incur Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any then-existing Class of Loans or Commitments hereunder from time to time as a new Class of Increased Commitments or Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, and such new Class shall not be utilization of the foregoing limitation. The Borrowers may arrange for any such increase or tranche to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Commitment or Extended Revolving Commitment, or to participate in such Incremental Term Loan, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Revolving Commitment or Extended Revolving Commitment, or to participate in such Increased Commitments, Incremental Term Loan, or extend Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments, as the case may be; provided that each Augmenting Lender (and, in the case of an Increased Commitment, each Increasing Lender) shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an Increased Commitment, each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld). Without the consent of any Lenders other than the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Additional Credit Extension Amendment as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19. Increases and new Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loans created pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Parent Entity, the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lenders thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan shall be permitted under this paragraph unless (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase in the Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments or borrowing of such Incremental Term Loan, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower Agent and (ii) the Parent Entity shall be in compliance, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis with the covenant contained in Section 6.08 as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b) prior to such time; provided that if the Increased Commitments and/or the Incremental Term Loans are being effected in connection with an acquisition of a Person or business or similar investment not prohibited hereby, that is not conditioned upon the availability of financing, such condition shall be that the foregoing requirements are satisfied on the date of the definitive agreement relating thereto and that on the date of effectiveness of
-90-


such Increased Commitments or Incremental Term Loans, customary specified representations (corresponding to Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03(b)(ii) and Section 3.08, adjusted, where applicable, to refer to such acquisition or investment and the incurrence of such Increased Commitments or Incremental Term Loans) are made and that no Specified Event of Default shall exist. On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments or any Incremental Term Loans being made, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Loans, and (ii) except in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding under the relevant Class, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Increased Commitments be prepaid to the extent necessary from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder by the Increasing Lenders and Augmenting Lenders, so that, after giving effect to such prepayments and any borrowings on such date of all or any portion of such Increased Commitments, the principal balance of all outstanding Revolving Loans owing to each Lender with a Revolving Commitment is equal to such Lender’s pro rata share (after giving effect to any non-ratable Increased Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.19) of all then outstanding Revolving Loans, in each case under such Class. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the borrowing notice, minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Term Benchmark Loan and each RFR Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the applicable Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.

(b)    This Section 2.19 shall override any provisions in Section 9.02 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.20    Maturity Extension.
(a)    The Borrower Agent may at any time and from time to time during each of the first two years following the Third Restatement Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request a one-year extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date with respect to any Revolving Facility or of the maturity date with respect to any Class of Term Loans, as the case may be, and, at the Borrower Agent’s option, amend the Applicable Rate for the applicable extended Revolving Facilities or extended Term Loans in connection with such request (and, with respect to any extended Term Loans, the amortization applicable thereto); provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such request. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender under the applicable Facilities thereof. Each Lender under such Facilities shall respond to such request in writing within ten (10) Business Days after such request and any failure of a Lender to respond shall be deemed to be a denial of such request. If the Required Facility Lenders with respect to such Facilities agree to such extension, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and/or maturity date, as applicable, with respect to such Facilities shall be extended to the date specified in the Borrower Agent’s extension request and with the amended Applicable Rate (and, with respect to the Term Loans, the amortization applicable thereto), if any, specified in such extension request subject, with respect to each Non-Extending Lender, to the provisions of Section 2.20(b).
(b)    If any Lender under any Revolving Facility or Class of Term Loans, as the case may be, does not consent to any extension request pursuant to Section 2.20(a) (a “Non-Extending Lender”) then (i) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and/or maturity date, as applicable, for each Lender that agrees to such extension (each such Lender, an “Extending Lender”) in respect of the applicable Facilities shall be extended to the date specified in the Borrower Agent’s extension request and, if applicable, the Applicable Rate (and, with respect to the Term Loans, the amortization applicable thereto) amended with respect to the Extending Lenders only and (ii) the Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender and the existing Applicable Rate shall, subject to the terms of Section 2.18, continue until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and/or maturity date, as applicable, for such Non-Extending Lender in effect prior to such extension; provided that such Commitments of Non-Extending Lenders may be exchanged at any time for Commitments of Extending Lenders.
(c)    Notwithstanding the terms of Section 9.02, the Credit Agreement Parties and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enter into any amendments to this Agreement that the Administrative Agent believes are necessary to appropriately reflect, or provide for the integration of, any extension of a Revolving Credit Maturity Date and/or maturity date, as applicable, or change in Applicable Rate (and, with respect to the Term Loans, the amortization applicable thereto) pursuant to this Section 2.20.
SECTION 2.21    Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from a Borrower hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased by the Administrative Agent with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum
-92-


adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, each applicable Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the Agreement Currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.17, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the applicable Borrowers.
SECTION 2.22    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(i)    fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);
(ii)    the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;
(iii)    if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(1)    so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as to which the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Borrower or a Revolving Lender at the time of any such reallocation, all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure under the applicable Revolving Facility of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders under such Revolving Facility in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (disregarding for this purpose the Revolving Commitments of any Defaulting Lenders for all purposes of such calculation) but only to the extent that the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures under such Revolving Facility plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure under such Revolving Facility does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility;
(2)    if the reallocation described in clause (1) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure under such Revolving Facility and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the applicable Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure under such Revolving Facility (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (1) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
-93-


(3)    if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (2) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(4)    if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (1) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and
(5)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
(iv)    so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan under the applicable Revolving Facility and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit under the applicable Revolving Facility, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure under such Revolving Facility will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.22(a)(iii), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(a)(iii)(1) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
(b)    If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent entity of any Lender shall occur following the Restatement Effective Date and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the applicable Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
(c)    In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans and participations in then outstanding Letters of Credit of the other Revolving Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage (whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender).
-94-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(C)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
SECTION 2.23    [Reserved].

Each of the other Borrowers irrevocably appoints Aptiv Corporation (in such capacity, the “Borrower Agent”) as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the giving and receipt of notices and execution and delivery of all documents, instruments, and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification, or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all or any of the Borrowers or acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Borrower Agent, whether or not any of the other Borrowers join therein, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty or obligation to make further inquiry with respect to the authority of the Borrower Agent under this Section 2.25; provided that nothing in this Section 2.25 shall limit the effectiveness of, or the right of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to rely upon, any notice (including without limitation a Borrowing Request or other request for any credit extension or notices of conversion or continuation of Loans), document, instrument, certificate, acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action delivered by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.
