(b)        Subject to Section 2.16, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or SOFR Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan.  Each Lender at its option may make any SOFR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) such SOFR Loan shall be deemed to have been made and held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such SOFR Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender and (iii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall not incur increased costs payable to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 3.02 shall apply); provided, further, that any such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender shall not be entitled to any greater indemnification under Section 3.02 with respect to such SOFR Loan than that which the applicable Lender was entitled on the date on which such Loan was made (except in connection with any indemnification entitlement arising as a result of a Change in Law after the date on which such Loan was made).
 
(c)         Each SOFR Borrowing shall comprise an aggregate principal amount that is in a minimum amount of $200,000 or any greater multiple of $100,000.  Each ABR Borrowing when made shall be in a minimum amount of $200,000 or any greater multiple of $100,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be made in a lesser aggregate amount that is equal to the entire aggregate Unused Revolving Credit Commitments.
 
Section 2.03       Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan), the Borrower shall notify the Revolver Agent (in the case of a Revolving Loan) or the Administrative Agent (in the case of the Term Loan) of such request in writing by delivery of a Committed Loan Notice (by fax or email) signed by the Borrower (a) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing (or, in each case, such later time as shall be acceptable to the Revolver Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable).  Each such written Committed Loan Notice shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
 
(i)           the Class of such Borrowing;
 
(ii)          the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;
 
36

(iii)         the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
 
(iv)         whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; and
 
(v)        the location and number of the Borrower’s account or any other designated account(s) to which funds are to be disbursed (the “Funding Account”).
 
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  Promptly following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice in accordance with this Section, the Revolver Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
 
Section 2.04         Swingline Loans.
 
(a)         Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender may, in its discretion, make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $5,000,000; provided that (i) after giving effect to such Swingline Loan, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii)  the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied and (iii) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.  Each Swingline Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000 or such lesser amount as may be agreed by the Revolver Agent; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Unused Revolving Credit Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.  To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Revolver Agent) in writing, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan.  The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the Funding Account or otherwise in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
 
(b)        The Swingline Lender may at any time (and shall no less frequently than once each week) by written notice given to the Revolver Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Revolver Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans.  Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Revolver Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)), and the Revolver Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  The Revolver Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.04(b), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Revolver Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.  Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Swingline Lender to the Revolver Agent; any such amounts received by the Revolver Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Revolver Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Revolver Agent, as the case may be, and thereafter to the Borrower, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
 
37

Section 2.05         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 3:00 p.m. to the account of the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04.  Upon receipt of such requested funds, the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly wiring the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account or as otherwise directed by the Borrower.
 
(b)        Unless the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, 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 or Revolver Agent, as applicable, such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, 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 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 or Revolver Agent, as applicable, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing at such time.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall cease.  If the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing by such amount.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent or the Borrower or any other Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
 
Section 2.06         Type; Interest Elections.
 
(a)         Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.  Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower 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, based upon their Pro Rata Shares 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.
 
38

(b)         To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (in the case of Term Loans) and the Revolver Agent (in the case of Revolving Loans) of such election in writing (by fax or email) by the time that a Committed Loan Notice would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.
 
(c)          Each written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03:
 
(i)          the 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; and
 
(iii)         whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing.
 
(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)         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, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then-current fiscal quarter.
 
Section 2.07         Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
 
(a)         (i) The Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date and (ii) unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
 
(b)       Upon delivering the notice required by Section 2.07(d), the Borrower may at any time terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments upon (i) the payment in full in Cash of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (ii) the payment in full of all accrued and unpaid fees and all reimbursable expenses and other non-contingent Obligations with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, together with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) thereon.
 
39

(c)        Upon delivering the notice required by Section 2.07(d), the Borrower may from time to time reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 and minimum integral multiples of $50,000 thereafter, (ii) the Borrower shall not reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) the Borrower pays any applicable Prepayment Premium.
 
(d)        The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and Revolver Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such later date to which the Revolver Agent may agree), specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Revolver Agent shall advise the Revolving Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that any such notice of termination may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Revolver Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be permanent.  Upon any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be reduced by such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such reduction amount.
 
Section 2.08         Prepayments.
 
(a)          Optional Prepayments.
 
(i)          Upon prior written notice in accordance with paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to the payment of any applicable Prepayment Fee and Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.19).  Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share.
 
(ii)         Upon prior written notice in accordance with paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to the payment of any applicable Prepayment Fee and Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.19).  Prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.08(a)(ii), first, shall be applied ratably among the Swingline Loans, second, shall be applied ratably among the outstanding Revolving Loans that do not constitute part of the Minimum Revolver Balance and third, shall be applied ratably among outstanding Revolving Loans that do constitute part of the Minimum Revolver Balance.
 
(iii)       The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Revolver Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) in writing (by fax or email) by submission of a Prepayment Notice of any prepayment hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m. one Business Day before the date of prepayment (or such later time as to which the Administrative Agent, Revolver Agent or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree).  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Revolver Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02(c).
 
40

(b)         Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.14(g), (i)  If any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries receives any Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition (other than any Disposition permitted under Sections 7.05(b), 7.05(c), 7.05(e), 7.05(f), 7.05(h), 7.05(j), 7.05(k) and in the case of Section 7.05(i) shall be subject to a partial reinvestment right in accordance with the second proviso to Section 7.05 addressing Section 7.05(i)) and Dispositions not to exceed $25,000 individually and $1,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement), the Borrower shall, subject to Sections 2.08(b)(vi) and 2.08(c), cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom plus the applicable Prepayment Premium on the date which is six (6) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.
 
(ii)         If any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries receives any Net Cash Proceeds from any Casualty Event, the Borrower shall, subject to Sections 2.08(b)(vi) and 2.08(c), cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom plus the applicable Prepayment Premium on the date which is six (6) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from all Casualty Events during the term of this Agreement does not exceed $15,000,000, the Borrower may elect to have the applicable Loan Party or Subsidiary reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in replacement assets within 360 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, further, that if any such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be so reinvested or are not reinvested by the end of such period, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be promptly applied to prepayment of the Loans.
 
(iii)        If any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries incurs or issues any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the Borrower shall, subject to Section 2.08(b)(vi) cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom plus the applicable Prepayment Premium on the date which is six (6) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, plus the Prepayment Premium, if applicable.
 
(iv)         [Reserved].
 
(v)         The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and Revolver Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.08(b) within one (1) Business Day of receipt of the applicable Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to a Prepayment Notice.  Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment (which notice shall be at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment) and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment.  The Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s Prepayment Notice and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans to be repaid and the Prepayment Premium, if any, with respect to such Loans.  For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the outstanding Loan amount shall include accrued interest and (y) any prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.14(g) if then applicable.
 
41

(vi)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender may decline all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date that is three (3) Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment to be declined by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, within the time frame specified above, or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment to be declined, then such Lender shall be deemed to have accepted the total amount of such mandatory prepayment. Any Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower and used for general corporate purposes and working capital.
 
(c)        Restrictions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by, or Casualty Event of, a Foreign Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor otherwise giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.08(b) is prohibited or delayed by any applicable local Requirements of Law from being applied to the Loans or otherwise repatriated to the Borrower including through the repayment of intercompany Indebtedness (each, a “Repatriation”; with “Repatriated” having a correlative meaning) (the Parent hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take promptly all actions reasonably required by such Requirements of Law to permit such Repatriation), or if the Parent and the Required Lenders reasonably determine in good faith that Repatriation of any such amount would reasonably be expected to have material adverse tax consequences with respect to its Subsidiaries, after taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually received in connection with such Repatriation, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected (such amount, the “Excluded Prepayment Amount”) will not be required to be applied to prepay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.08; provided, that if and to the extent any such Repatriation ceases to be prohibited or delayed by applicable local Requirements of Law at any time immediately following the date on which the applicable mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) was required to be made, the Parent shall reasonably promptly Repatriate, or cause to be Repatriated, an amount equal to such portion of the Excluded Prepayment Amount, and the Borrower shall, or the Parent shall cause the applicable Loan Party or its Subsidiary to, reasonably promptly pay such portion of the Excluded Prepayment Amount to the Lenders, which payment shall be applied in accordance with this Section 2.08.  For the avoidance of doubt, the non-application of any Excluded Prepayment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.08(b) shall not apply to any Disposition consisting of a Permitted License.
 
(d)          Interest.  All prepayments under this Section 2.08 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon.
 
42

(e)         Prepayment Premium.  In the event that all or any portion of the Term Loans or Minimum Revolver Balance are repaid (or prepaid) or accelerated prior to the date set forth in clause (i) of the definition of “Maturity Date” for any reason (including, without limitation, automatic acceleration upon an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or upon any redemption or buyback (including upon any Change of Control) but excluding mandatory prepayments under Section 2.02(b)(ii)), such repayment shall be made at (i) if such repayment or acceleration occurs prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, 100% of the amount then payable plus the Make-Whole Premium, (ii) if such repayment or acceleration occurs on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date,  102% of the amount then payable, (iii) if such repayment or acceleration occurs on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, 101% of the amount then payable and (iv) if such repayment or acceleration occurs at any time after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, 100% of the amount then payable. Any Make-Whole Premium required to be made pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) after acceleration shall be reduced by the amount of interest accruing following such acceleration through such repayment, provided that such interest shall be paid as part of the accrued interest that accompanies the principal amount of the Loans.
 
Section 2.09        Repayment of Loans.  The Borrower shall repay on the Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent (with respect to Term Loans) and the Revolver Agent (with respect to Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans) (for the ratable account of the Lenders) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans, together with all accrued interest and fees thereon (including the Prepayment Premium, if any, and all other outstanding Obligations), outstanding on such date.
 
Section 2.10         Interest.
 
(a)         Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b), the Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full as follows:  (a) at all times while such Loan is an ABR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Rate from time to time in effect; and (b) at all times while such Loan is a SOFR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Rate from time to time in effect. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment outstanding hereunder or any Loan or other Obligation hereunder which is accrued and payable shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, the Borrower shall always pay interest pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) on the Minimum Revolver Balance (regardless of whether there is any unpaid principal amount thereof outstanding).
 
(b)         Commencing (x) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default at the request of the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders), or automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(f), the Borrower shall pay interest on (i) the principal amount of the Loans and (ii) to the extent then due and payable all other outstanding Obligations hereunder as if such Obligations were ABR Loans, in each case under clauses (i) and (ii), at an interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; provided that no amount shall be payable or accrue pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Accrued interest at the Default Rate and all other accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws) shall be due and payable upon demand in cash.
 
(c)         Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first Business Day of the second calendar quarter ending after the Closing Date.  Additionally, accrued interest of each Loan shall be payable upon a prepayment of such Loan in accordance with Section 2.08 and at maturity in cash.  After maturity and, at the request of Required Lenders at any time an Event of Default exists, all accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable in cash on demand at the rates specified in Section 2.10(b).
 
43

Section 2.11         Fees.
 
(a)        The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees set forth in the separate fee letter as between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
 
(b)         The Borrower agrees to pay to the Revolver Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Commitment Fee Rate per annum on the average daily amount of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments terminate.  Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January (commencing with the first Business Day of the second Fiscal Quarter ending after the Closing Date) for the quarterly period then ended and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate.  All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  Swingline Loans outstanding from time to time shall be deemed to reduce the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of the Swingline Lender only (in its capacity as a Lender) for purposes of computing the commitment fee under this Section 2.11(b).
 
Section 2.12        Computation of Interest.  Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of (a) 360 days for interest calculated at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate and (b) 365/366 days for interest calculated at the Alternate Base Rate.  The applicable interest rate for each ABR Loan shall change simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on such Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any such Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.08(a), bear interest for one (1) day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Lenders, as applicable, of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
Section 2.13        Evidence of Indebtedness.  (a)  The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
 
(b)        In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.13(c), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c)          Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.13(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.13(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
Section 2.14        Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds.  (a)  All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) may, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
 
(b)         If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
 
(c)         If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions (if any) to the Loan set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
 
(d)         The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Loan.
 
(e)         Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
 
(f)         Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 2.14(g).  Subject to Section 2.14(g), if the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at such time.
 
45

(g)         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Waterfall Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing or if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders are exercising any remedies under Section 8.02 or if the Loans shall have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 8.02, all amounts collected or received by the any Agent (including all payments and prepayments of Loans) and all proceeds of Collateral received by any shall be applied as follows: first, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, premiums, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent or the Revolver Agent from the Borrower constituting Obligations, second, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Revolving Lenders from the Borrower constituting Obligations, third, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Swingline Loans, fourth, to pay principal on the Swingline Loans, fifth, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis, sixth, to pay principal on the Revolving Loans until paid in full, seventh, to pay principal on all Banking Services Obligations due and payable to the Revolving Lenders, eighth, to the ratable payment of all other Revolving Credit Obligations then due and payable, on a pro rata basis, ninth, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Term Lenders from the Borrower constituting Obligations, tenth, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Term Loans, on a pro rata basis, eleventh, to pay principal on the Term Loans, all Banking Services Obligations due and payable to a Secured Party (not in duplication of payments made pursuant to clause seventh hereof) and all Secured Hedging Obligations, on a pro rata basis among the Secured Parties, twelvth, to the payment of any other Obligations due to the Administrative Agent, Revolver Agent or any Lender by the Borrower on a pro rata basis and thirteenth, to the Borrower or as the Borrower shall direct.
 
(h)         Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
 
(i)          If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or Section 2.15, 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 2.15        Sharing of Payments.  If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(vi) or in Section 10.07), any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder subject to the priorities set forth herein) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.  The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.15 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.  Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

Section 2.16         Benchmark Replacement.
 
(a)         Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and 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 and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
 
(b)         Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
(c)          Notices; Standards for Decisions and DeterminationsThe Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.16(d).  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16.
 
47

(d)         Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the time period set forth in the definition of “Term SOFR” (or any similar or analogous tenor or interest period concept set forth in another definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Term SOFR” (or any similar or analogous tenor or interest period concept set forth in another definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
 
(e)       Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of or conversion to SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans.  During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.
 
Section 2.17         Term SOFR Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.
 
Section 2.18         Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
 
(a)         Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b).
 
(b)         The Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.01).
 
48

(c)         Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent and, where relevant, the Borrower as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any applicable Swingline Lenders hereunder; third, if so reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the applicable Swingline Lenders, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the non-Defaulting Lenders or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non-Defaulting Lender or any Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or created at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
 
(d)          If any Swingline Loans exist at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
 
(i)          all or any part of such Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments; and
 
(ii)         if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize 100% of any obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund participations in any Swingline Loan (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to paragraph (i) above and any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender or pursuant to Section 2.18(c) above) or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and/or Swingline Lender with respect to such obligations to fund participations.  Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce obligations shall be released promptly following (A) the elimination of the obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 3.04)) or (B) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral (including any subsequent reallocation of Swingline Loans among non-Defaulting Lenders described in clause (i) above).
 
49

(e)         In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Pro Rata Share of Swingline Loans of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) or participations in Revolving Loans as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans or participations in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Revolving Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
 
Section 2.19       Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the conversion or prepayment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of a fiscal quarter (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date or in an amount specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (c) the assignment of any SOFR Loan of any Lender other than on the last day of the fiscal quarter as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.04(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (other than loss of profit).  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the basis therefor and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
 
Section 2.20         Purchase Option.
 
(a)         Termination Notice; Purchase Notice. On one occasion exercised within 30 days of a Purchase Option Trigger Event, the Term Lenders shall have the option, but not the obligation, to (x) purchase from the Revolving Lenders all, but not less than all, of the Revolving Loans and other Revolving Credit Obligations owing to the Revolving Lenders and (y) assume all, but not less than all, of the then-existing Revolving Credit Commitments. Such right shall be exercised by the applicable Term Lenders giving a written notice (the “Purchase Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (who shall in turn promptly deliver such notice to each Revolving Lender). A Purchase Notice once delivered shall be irrevocable. Each Term Lender shall have the right to purchase its pro rata share of the Revolving Credit Obligations and assume its pro rata share of the Revolving Loan Commitments, and Term Lenders exercising such rights may exercise the rights of non-exercising Term Lenders, in each case on a pro rata basis as among exercising Term Lenders until such rights have been exercised as to all Revolving Credit Obligations and all Revolving Credit Commitments (in any case, prior to issuance of the Purchase Notice).
 
(b)         Purchase Option Closing. On the date specified in the Purchase Notice (which shall not be less than 3 Business Days nor more than 5 Business Days after delivery to Administrative Agent of the Purchase Notice) (such date the “Purchase Option Date”), the Revolving Lenders shall sell to the exercising Term Lenders, and the exercising Term Lenders shall purchase from the Revolving Lenders, all, but not less than all, of the Revolving Credit Obligations, and the Revolving Lenders shall assign to the exercising Term Lenders, and the exercising Term Lenders shall assume from the Revolving Lenders all, but not less than all, of the then existing Revolving Credit Commitments. Upon such closing, each selling Revolving Lender shall be released from all of its Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder.
 
50

(c)        Purchase Price. The purchase, sale and assumption pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall be made by execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent, Revolving Lenders and exercising Term Lenders of an Assignment and Assumption. Upon the date of such purchase and sale, (a) the exercising Term Lenders shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the Obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans owing to the Revolving Lenders and Swingline Lender, including principal, interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and any fees (including any Prepayment Premium that would otherwise be due as a result of prepayment of Revolving Loans at that time) accrued and unpaid thereon, to the extent earned or due and payable in accordance with the Loan Documents and irrespective of whether allowed or allowable in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (b) any contingent indemnification Obligations in respect of asserted indemnity claims payable to the Revolving Lenders or their respective Affiliates (which, in the case of contingent Obligations in respect thereof, shall be satisfied by providing the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount equal to 100% of such obligations; it being agreed by the parties hereto that the Administrative Agent shall (A) be entitled to apply such cash collateral solely to satisfy such obligations owing to the selling Revolving Lenders and their respective Affiliates and (B) promptly return any unapplied portion of such cash collateral to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Term Lenders at such time as all such Obligations have been paid in full) and (c) all expenses to the extent owing to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full. Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.14, solely for the account of the selling Revolving Lenders and shall be immediately distributed to such selling Lenders in accordance with their respective ratable shares. Interest and fees shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Term Lenders are received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. and interest and fees shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Term Lenders are received by Administrative Agent later than 2:00 p.m.
 
(d)         Nature of Sale. The purchase and sale pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Revolving Lenders as to the Revolving Credit Obligations or otherwise and without recourse to the Revolving Lenders, except for representations and warranties as to the following made by each selling Lender severally (and not jointly): (a) the amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations being purchased from such selling Lender (including as to the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such Revolving Credit Obligations, fees and expenses thereof), (b) that such selling Lender owns the Revolving Credit Obligations held by it free and clear of any Liens created by it and (c) such selling Lender has the full right and power to assign its Revolving Credit Obligations and such assignment has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by such selling Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein, each selling Revolving Lender shall retain all of their respective indemnification rights under the Loan Documents arising in respect of any act or omission that occurred on or before the date of such purchase and sale, and in furtherance of the foregoing, no amendment to such indemnification rights or their priority under any waterfall provision shall be amended, modified, waived or terminated without the consent of each affected selling Lender. In connection with any such exercise of the purchase option pursuant to this Section 2.20, the purchasing Term Lenders may amend the payment priority of all or any portion of the Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments so purchased to remove the “super priority” provisions relating thereto and cause such purchased Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments to be pari passu in right of payment with the Term Loans hereunder (it being understood that such purchased Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments shall otherwise contain the same terms and provisions otherwise applicable to the existing Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments). Each of the Borrowers and Lenders hereby agree that this Agreement may be amended without the consent of any Person to effect the foregoing changes.
 
51

(e)         Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, the purchase option of the Term Lenders described in this Section 2.20 may be exercised by such Term Lenders’ respective Affiliates who are Eligible Assignees hereunder.
 
ARTICLE III

TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
 
Section 3.01         Taxes.
 
(a)          Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
 
(b)        Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
 
(c)         Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
 
(d)         Indemnification by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
52

(e)       Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
 
(f)         Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, 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.
 
(g)         Status of Lenders.  Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower:
 
(A)        any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
 
(B)         any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
 
(1)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(4)       to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a withholding statement, IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3 , IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
 
(C)         any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

54

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
(h)         Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
 
(i)          Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
 
Section 3.02         Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital and Liquidity Requirements.
 
(a)          Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
 
(i)       impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;
 
(ii)         subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
 
(iii)       impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
 
55

(b)        Capital Requirements.  If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
 
(c)         Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
 
(d)         Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine‑month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
 
Section 3.03    Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. The Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
 
Section 3.04         Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.
 
(a)         Designation of a Different Applicable Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.02 or Section 3.01, 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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
 
56

(b)         Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Applicable Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.04(a), or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.07(b)), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.02 or Section 3.01) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
 
(i)           the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.07(b);
 
(ii)        such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
 
(iii)        in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.02 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
 
(iv)         such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and
 
(v)         in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
 
A Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
 
(c)          In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non‑Consenting Lender”.
 
Section 3.05     Survival.  All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, future changes in applicable law or regulation, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.
 
Section 9.04       Reliance by the Administrative Agent.  xv) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
 
91

(b)       For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
 
Section 9.05         Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
 
Section 9.06        Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information the Agents.  Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent‑Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent‑Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent‑Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent‑Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent‑Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent‑Related Person.
 
92

Section 9.07       Indemnification of the Administrative Agent.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent‑Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent‑Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities to the extent incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent‑Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent resulting from such Agent‑Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final non‑appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out‑of‑pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, if any.  The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent.
 
Section 9.08        The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.  With respect to its Loans, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Cantor Fitzgerald Securities in its individual capacity.
 
Section 9.09      Successor Agents.  Any Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Revolver Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Revolving Lenders or the Borrower may, upon ten days’ notice, remove the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders.  If the Revolver Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Revolving Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor Revolver Agent.  If, after 30 days after the date of the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, no successor Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or the Revolver Agent, as applicable, from among the Lenders.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Revolver Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, or Revolver Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 and Section 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent under this Agreement.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  Lenders assuming the role of Administrative Agent as specified in the immediately preceding sentence shall assume the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent (including the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 9.07) as if each such Lender were the Administrative Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, may reasonably request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, the successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the applicable retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.
 
93

Section 9.10        Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  The Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
 
(a)         to file and prove an administrative claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.11 and Section 10.04 or otherwise hereunder) allowed in an applicable proceeding; and
 
(b)          to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and
 
(c)        any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Section 2.05 and Section 10.04 or otherwise hereunder.
 
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
 
Section 9.11         Release of Collateral and Guarantee.  The Lenders irrevocably agree and authorize the Administrative Agent:
 
94

(a)        to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable and (B) any other obligation (including a guarantee) that is contingent in nature) (the date upon which the conditions in this Section 9.11(a)(i) shall have been satisfied, the “Termination Date”), (ii) upon any permitted sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Loan Party (including, without limitation, as a result of the sale, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, of the Loan Party that owns such Collateral) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement pursuant to clause (b) below; and
 
(b)         in the case of any Subsidiary, such Person ceasing to be subject to Section 6.11 as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (as certified by a Responsible Officer) and the Borrower notifying the Administrative Agent in writing that it wishes such Guarantor to be released from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
 
The Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.11 from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents (or the release of the Guarantor from its Guarantee Obligations in respect of the Obligations) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that such transaction has been consummated in compliance with the Loan Documents and the execution and delivery of such documents are authorized and permitted under the Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on such certification without further inquiry).  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property in accordance with this Section 9.11.  Anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Loan Document notwithstanding, the Liens of the Administrative Agent shall not be required to extend, and shall not extend, to any priority review voucher and the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly release any Lien it may acquire on any priority review voucher.
 
Section 9.12      Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers.  None of the Lenders shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the other Lenders in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
 
Section 9.13        Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agent.  xvi) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction.  It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems in its reasonable discretion that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co‑trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub‑agent or administrative co‑agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).
 
95

(b)         In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Section 10.04 and Section 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.
 
(c)         Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent.  In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.
 
Section 9.14         Erroneous Payments.
 
(a)        Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender (such notice, an “Erroneous Payment Notice”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates within the preceding one hundred twenty (120) day period were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender)  (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including, without limitation, waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Lender under this Section 9.14(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
 
96

(b)          Without limiting immediately preceding Section 9.14(a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by notice of payment, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each case, if an error has been made each such Lender is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine.  Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
 
(c)        The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason (and without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 9.14), the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount.
 
(d)         In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent provided by law, Administrative Agent shall have the right, without prior notice to any Lender, any such notice being expressly waived by such Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to any Erroneous Payment for which a demand has been made in accordance with this Section 9.14 and which has not been returned to the Administrative Agent, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Lender.  Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify the Lender after any such setoff and application made by Administrative Agent; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
 
(e)          Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
 
Section 9.15     Credit Bidding etc.  To the extent permitted by law, each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of all Secured Parties to take any of the following actions upon the instruction of the Required Lenders (or other requisite Lenders):
 
(a)         consent to the Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral free and clear of the Liens securing the Obligations in connection with any such sale or other transfer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof;
 
(b)         credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363 thereof;
 
97

(c)         credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC;
 
(d)         credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any foreclosure or other Disposition conducted in accordance with applicable law following the occurrence of an Event of Default, including by power of sale, judicial action or otherwise; and/or
 
(e)          estimate the amount of any contingent or unliquidated Obligations of such Lender or other Secured Party;
 
it being understood that no Lender shall be required to fund any amounts in connection with any purchase of all or any portion of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b), (c) or (d) without its prior written consent.
 
Each Lender and other Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to credit bid any part of the Obligations or to purchase or retain or acquire any portion of the Collateral; provided that, in connection with any credit bid or purchase under clause (b), (c) or (d) of the preceding paragraph, the Obligations owed to all of the Secured Parties (other than with respect to contingent or unliquidated liabilities as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph) shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent on a ratable basis.
 
With respect to each contingent or unliquidated claim that is a Obligation, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, but is not required, to estimate the amount of any such claim for purposes of the credit bid or purchase so long as the fixing or liquidation of such claim would not unduly delay the ability of the Administrative Agent to credit bid the Obligations or purchase the Collateral at such Disposition.  In the event that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects not to estimate any such contingent or unliquidated claim or any such claim cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of the Administrative Agent to credit bid or purchase in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, then those of the contingent or unliquidated claims not so estimated shall be disregarded, shall not be credit bid, and shall not be entitled to any interest in the portion or the entirety of the Collateral purchased by means of such credit bid.
 
Each Secured Party whose Obligations are credit bid under clauses (b), (c) or (d) of the third preceding paragraph shall be entitled to receive interests in the Collateral or other asset or assets acquired in connection with such credit bid (or in the Equity Interests of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such acquisition) on a ratable basis in accordance with the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the amount of the Obligations of such Secured Party that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition, by (y) the aggregate amount of all Obligations that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition.

(b)      Effectiveness of Documents and Signatures.  Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by other electronic transmission (including a .pdf or .tif copy); provided that original copies are delivered promptly thereafter (it being understood that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by electronic transmission).
 
(c)         Reliance by the Administrative Agent and Lenders.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices) in good faith given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, varied from any confirmation thereof.  The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent‑Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Agent-Related Person or such Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment.
 
(d)          Notice to other Loan Parties.  The Borrower agrees that notices to be given to any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be given to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.02 with the same effect as if given to such other Loan Party in accordance with the terms hereunder or thereunder.
 
(e)         The Borrower hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new Loan, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Loan hereunder (all such non‑excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address specified by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower.  In addition, the Borrower agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).
 
102

(f)         THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON‑INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, REVOLVER AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, “AGENT PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON‑APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
 
(g)      The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e‑mail address set forth on Schedule 10.02 shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents.  Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.  Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e‑mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e‑mail address.  Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
 
(h)        Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders may be “public‑side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non‑public information with respect to any Loan Party or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).  Each Loan Party hereby agrees that (i) Communications that are to be made available on the Platform to Public Lenders who notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such Lender’s status as a Public Lender shall be clearly and conspicuously marked by such Loan Party as “PUBLIC,” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” each Loan Party shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may contain sensitive business information and remains subject to the confidentiality undertakings of Section 10.08) with respect to such Loan Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information,” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”
 
103

(i)          EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT UNITED STATES FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS PROHIBIT ANY PERSON WITH MATERIAL, NON‑PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT AN ISSUER FROM PURCHASING OR SELLING SECURITIES OF SUCH ISSUER OR, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, FROM COMMUNICATING SUCH INFORMATION TO ANY OTHER PERSON.  EACH LENDER AGREES TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND ITS RESPECTIVE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CONFIDENTIAL AND MATERIAL NON‑PUBLIC INFORMATION.  Each Lender that is not a Public Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent that such Lender has adopted and will maintain internal policies and procedures reasonably designed to permit such Lender to take delivery of Restricting Information (as defined below) and maintain its compliance with applicable law and its respective contractual obligations with respect to confidential and material non‑public information.  A Public Lender may elect not to receive Communications and Information that contains material non‑public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities (such Communications and Information, collectively, “Restricting Information”), in which case it will identify itself to the Administrative Agent as a Public Lender.  Such Public Lender shall not take delivery of Restricting Information and shall not participate in conversations or other interactions with the Agent Parties, any Lender or any Loan Party in which Restricting Information may be discussed.  No Agent Party, however, shall by making any Communications and Information (including Restricting Information) available to a Lender (including any Public Lender), by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Lender (including any Public Lender) or otherwise, be responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Lender (including any Public Lender) may make to limit or to not limit its access to the Communications and Information.  In particular, no Agent Party shall have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of all Agent Parties, hereby disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Lender (including any Public Lender) has elected to receive Restricting Information, such Lender’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material nonpublic information or such Lender’s compliance with applicable laws related thereto.  Each Public Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications and Information that might contain Restricting Information.  Accordingly, each Public Lender agrees that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications and Information (including Restricting Information) on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) on such Public Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire.  Each Public Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time of such Public Lender’s designee’s address to which notice of the availability of Restricting Information may be sent.  Each Public Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that are not Public Lenders that such Public Lender understands and agrees that the Administrative Agent and such other Lenders may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such Public Lender and that such Public Lender has elected to make its decision to enter into this Agreement and to take or not take action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement knowing that, so long as such Person remains a Public Lender, it does not and will not be provided access to such Restricting Information.  Nothing in this Section 10.02(i) shall modify or limit a Lender’s (including any Public Lender) obligations under Section 10.08 with regard to Communications and Information and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Communications or Information.
 
Section 10.03       No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.
 
104

Section 10.04     Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and Lenders for all reasonable and documented out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses incurred after the Closing Date in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof requested by the Borrower or negotiated in consultation with Borrower (in each case, whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), including all Attorney Costs, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, Revolver Agent and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all Attorney Costs and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with any workout or restructuring in respect of the Loans and all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding and (c) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of any financial advisory, appraisers or accounting firm retained by or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, Revolver Agent or Lenders or by Latham & Watkins LLP, as counsel to the Lenders.  The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees related thereto, and other reasonable and documented out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent.  The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.  All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.  If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
 
Section 10.05      Indemnification by the Borrower.  xviii)  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, Revolver Agent, each Agent‑Related Person, each Lender, any financial advisors and/or consultants retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, trustees, management companies (including employees of such management companies), advisors and attorneys‑in‑fact (including without limitation, Latham & Watkins LLP)  (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, taxes, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including one counsel to the Administrative Agent and a separate counsel to the Lenders, taken as a whole) (and, in the event of any actual conflict of interest, additional counsel to the affected parties) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding)  (any of the foregoing described in this clause (iv), a “Proceeding”) (all the foregoing described in clauses (i) to (iv), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee and whether brought by an Indemnitee, a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitees, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney‑in‑fact of such Indemnitee as determined by a final non‑appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through the Platform, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  All amounts due in respect of costs, expenses and disbursements under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor; provided, that each Indemnitee receiving any such reimbursement shall repay such amounts to the relevant Loan Party in the event that such Indemnitee shall not be entitled thereto pursuant to the provisions hereof.  The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.  This Section 10.5(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims,  damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Borrower or any Loan Party pay the Lenders or the Administrative Agent for any out of pocket costs or expenses incurred prior to the Closing Date.
 
105

(b)        The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in such Proceedings, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any Indemnified Liabilities in accordance with the foregoing clause (a).  The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement or consent to the entry of any judgment of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings, (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and (iii) contains customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions.
 
(c)         In the event that an Indemnitee is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in which such Indemnitee is not named as a defendant, the Borrower shall reimburse such Indemnitee for all reasonable and documented expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnitee’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its legal counsel.
 
Section 10.06       Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
 
106

Section 10.07       Successors and Assigns.
 
(a)         Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(e) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
 
(b)         Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (and its rights and obligations under this Agreement relating thereto); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
 
(i)           Minimum Amounts.
 
(A)        in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
 
(B)        in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date recorded in the Register) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless the Borrower consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default exists).
 
(ii)         Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned; provided, that Term Loans and Revolving Loans (including Revolving Commitments) need not be assigned ratably.
 
107

(iii)       Required Consents.  Any such assignment shall require the prior written consent of (x) the Administrative Agent; provided, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (y) in the case of the Revolving Facility, the Revolver Agent and the Swingline Lender; provided, that no consent of the Revolver Agent or Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment to another Revolving Lender or  an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender and (z) the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or burdened (provided, that it shall be deemed to be reasonable for the Borrower not to consent to any assignment to any Disqualified Person or Disqualified Person Controlled Affiliate or to any Person if such assignment would impose increased costs or withholding requirements on the Borrower); provided, however, that (A) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, to an Affiliate of a Lender, to an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any other assignee, and (B) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it objects thereto by written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
 
(iv)        Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, the tax documentation and any other required “know-your-customer” documentation required pursuant to Section 3.01.
 
(v)         No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or to any Defaulting Lender or (B) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any Disqualified Person or, to the actual knowledge of the assignor, to any Disqualified Person Controlled Affiliate. The Administrative Agent and Revolver Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Persons or Disqualified Person Controlled Affiliates.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and Revolver Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Person or Disqualified Person Controlled Affiliate  or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Person or Disqualified Person Controlled Affiliate.
 
(vi)        No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).
 
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.02, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c)         Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.
 
(d)         Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Disqualified Person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (and its rights and obligations under this Agreement relating thereto); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.07 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
 
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 10.01(a) or Section 10.01(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.02, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.04(b) with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.09 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
 
109

(e)        Certain Pledges.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) any Lender shall be permitted to pledge or grant a security interest in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights hereunder including, but not limited to, any Loans (without the consent of, or notice to or any other action by, any other party hereto) to secure the obligations of such Lender or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any loan, letter of credit or other extension of credit to or for the account of such Lender or any of its Affiliates and any agent, trustee or representative of such Person and (b) the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of their respective rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, rights to payment (without the consent of, or notice to or any other action by, any other party hereto), to secure the obligations of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any loan, letter of credit to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates and any agent, trustee or representative of such Person.
 
(f)         SPCs.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a ”Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01 or 3.02), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable and such liability shall remain with the Granting Lender, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non‑public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee Obligation or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
 
(g)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
 
110

(h)         Each Term Lender and, to the extent its claim arises in connection with a Term Loan, each other Indemnitee and holder of an Obligation of a Loan Party (collectively, the “Term Creditors”) acknowledges and agrees that because of their differing rights in proceeds of the Collateral, the Obligations arising under or in respect of the Term Loans (collectively, the “Term Loan Obligations”) are fundamentally different from the obligations arising under or in respect of the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments (and participations therein) (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Obligations”) and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or confirmed in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving the Borrower or any Guarantor as a debtor.  No Term Creditor shall seek in any such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as the Revolving Loans and/or the Revolving Credit Commitments (and participations therein), each other Indemnitee and holder of an Obligation of a Loan Party (collectively, the “Revolving Creditors”) or shall oppose any pleading or motion by the Revolving Creditors for the Revolving Creditors and the Term Creditors to be treated as separate classes of creditors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and regardless of whether the Term Loan Obligations and the Revolving Credit Obligations are separately classified in any such plan of reorganization, the Term Creditors hereby acknowledge and agree that to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations, the Revolving Creditors shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre‑petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of interest, and fees, costs and charges incurred subsequent to the commencement of the applicable bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding (regardless of whether such interest, and fees, costs and charges incurred subsequent to the commencement of the applicable bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is allowed as part of the claims of the Revolving Creditors under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) before any distribution (whether pursuant to a plan of reorganization or otherwise) is made in respect of any of the claims held by the Term Creditors.  The Term Creditors hereby acknowledge and agree to hold in trust for the benefit of the Revolving Creditors and to turn over to the Revolving Creditors all distributions received or receivable by them in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding (whether pursuant to a plan of reorganization or otherwise) to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of the preceding sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Term Creditors.
 
Section 10.08     Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information and to not use or disclose such information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or examiner regulating any Lender or the Administrative Agent; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(e) or Section 10.07(g), Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 by the disclosing party; (h) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the Loans.  For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, relating to the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is publicly available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08, including, without limitation, information delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof.
 
111

Section 10.09      Setoff.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have.
 
Section 10.10      Counterparts.  This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery by electronic transmission (including a .pdf or .tif copy) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document; provided that original signatures shall be promptly delivered thereafter, it being understood that that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by electronic transmission.
 
Section 10.11     Integration.  The Loan Documents comprise the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict or inconsistency with this Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
 
Section 10.12      Survival of Representations and Warranties.   All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.  For the avoidance of doubt, the representations and warranties made herein and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall be deemed made only as and when indicated in such Loan Document or other document, and the sole remedy for breach of representation and warranty hereunder shall be the exercise of remedies as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.
 
112

Section 10.13    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
Section 10.14   GOVERNING LAW.  (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN); PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
 
(b)      ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS.  THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.
 
Section 10.15     WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.15 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
 
113

Section 10.16      Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that each such Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.
 
Section 10.17     Lender Action.  Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self‑help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.  The provision of this Section 10.17 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.
 
Section 10.18     USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.  The Borrower agrees to provide, and to cause each other Loan Party to provide, such information promptly upon request.
 
Section 10.19     No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges and agrees that it has informed its other Affiliates, that: (i) (A) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between any of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender has advised or is advising any of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on other matters, (B) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, (C) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (D) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as may otherwise be expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests and transactions to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
 
114

Section 10.20    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any 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:
 
(a)        the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
 
(b)          the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
 
(i)           a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
 
(ii)        a conversion of all or a portion of such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
 
(iii)       the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
 
Section 10.21     Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regime”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States). In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States:
 
(a)         In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
 
(b)         As used in this Section 10.21, the following terms have the following meanings:
 
115

BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
 
Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
 
Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
 
QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
 
Section 10.22     Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each Non-ECP Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations constituting Secured Hedging Obligations permitted under this Agreement that would otherwise be Excluded Swap Obligations but for this paragraph (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.22 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred and otherwise subject to the limitations on the obligations of the Qualified ECP Guarantors contained in this Agreement without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.22, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.22 constitute, and this Section 10.22 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
