(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests (including measurements of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio) shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.09; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 1.09, for the purposes of the proviso set forth in Section 2.05(b)(i), the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to any payments of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i)(B) to the extent such payments were made after year end but prior to the time such prepayment is required by Section 2.05(b).  In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test is to be calculated on a pro forma basis or requires pro forma compliance, the reference to “Test Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Test Period for which Section 6.01 Financials have been delivered (or, prior to the first date the Section 6.01 Financials have been delivered, the Test Period ended March 31, 2018).

(b)For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test (including Consolidated Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA), Specified Transactions (with any Incurrence or Refinancing of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to clause (d) of this Section 1.09) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Consolidated Total Assets, on the last day of the applicable Test Period).  If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into GBT or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.09, then such financial ratio or test (including Consolidated Total Assets and Consolidated EBITDA) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.09.

(c)Whenever pro forma effect or a determination of pro forma compliance is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) any projected synergies or cost savings (net of continuing associated expenses) that are reasonably anticipated by GBT to be achieved in connection with any such event within the 24-month period following the consummation of such event, which GBT determines in good faith are reasonable as of the date of such computation and (ii) cost savings initiatives and/or operating improvements, restructurings, cost savings and similar initiatives, actions and/or events, including (A) reductions in costs of an acquired entity or business or a sold entity or business which will be non-recurring following the acquisition or Disposition, as the case may be, thereof (including

73


payments to shareholders or management fees, etc.), (B) reduction in personnel expenses (including severance), (C) reduction of costs related to administrative functions, (D) reductions of costs (including closures) related to leased or owned properties, (E) reduction or elimination of costs from the consolidation of operations or synergies therefrom and (F) streamlining of overhead (taking into account the historical financial statements of any relevant acquired entity or business or a sold entity or business and the consolidated financial statements of GBT and its Restricted Subsidiaries), assuming the relevant Specified Transaction and/or operating improvement, restructuring, cost savings and/or similar initiative, action and/or event and all other Specified Transactions, operating improvements, restructurings, cost savings and similar initiatives, actions and/or events that have been consummated after the beginning of such period, had been consummated at the beginning of such period; provided that (x) all adjustments pursuant to this paragraph will be without duplication of any amounts that are otherwise included or added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA in accordance with the definition of such term and (y) if any cost savings or other adjustments included in any pro forma calculations based on the anticipation that such cost savings or other adjustments will be achieved within such 24-month period shall at any time cease to be reasonably anticipated by GBT to be so achieved, then on and after such time pro forma calculations required to be made hereunder shall not reflect such cost savings or other adjustments.

(d)In the event that GBT or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurs (including by assumption or guarantee) or Refinances (including by redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness Incurred or Refinanced under any revolving credit facility or line of credit unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and not replaced), in each case included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test, (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence or Refinancing of Indebtedness, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Total Net Leverage Ratio (or similar ratio), in which case such Incurrence or Refinancing of Indebtedness will be given effect, as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period); provided that, with respect to any Incurrence of Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of either Section 2.14 or Section 7.03(u), the pro forma calculation of the First Net Lien Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, shall be subject to Section 1.09(g).

(e)Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.  Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as GBT or applicable Restricted Subsidiary may designate. For purposes of making the computations referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period.

(f)Solely for the purpose of (i) measuring the relevant ratios and baskets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any basket measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets and, for the avoidance of doubt including with respect to the incurrence of any Indebtedness (including any Loans made pursuant to Incremental Facilities), Liens or the making of any acquisitions or other Investments, or fundamental changes, in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction) or (ii) determining compliance with the representations and warranties or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, if the Borrower makes a LCA Election, the relevant date of determination in determining whether any such acquisition (or similar investment) is permitted shall be deemed to be the LCA Test Date, and if, after giving

74


effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred as of the relevant date of determination, ending prior to the LCA Test Date on a pro forma basis, the Borrower (or other applicable Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary) could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with any such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. If the Borrower has made a LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated and tested on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Transaction has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of the same section of any Loan Document that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, pro forma compliance with Section 7.09 hereof (but not actual compliance therewith), any Interest Coverage Ratio, any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of the same section of any Loan Document that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, the Fixed Amounts under such section and any substantially concurrent borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence.

Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, and (ii) one (1) Business Day before the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, as applicable; provided that each Revolving Credit Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency other than Euro or Sterling shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, notice must only be given by 1:00 p.m. on the date of Borrowing in the case of any Borrowing on the Closing Date or any Incremental Facility Closing Date. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; provided that Revolving Credit Borrowings in any Alternative Currency shall be in minimal and integral multiples as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.  Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing, a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount and currency of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month.  If the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as the same Type of Loan, and if applicable, with the same Interest Period, as such Loans.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower and Lenders acknowledge and agree that any conversion or continuation of an existing Loan shall be deemed to be a continuation of that Loan with a converted interest rate methodology and not a new Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan.

(b)Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no

77


timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of such Loans as described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice; provided that on the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Incremental Facilities, on the relevant Incremental Facilities Closing Date), such funds may be made available at such earlier time as may be agreed among the relevant Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transactions (or any transactions to occur on the Incremental Facility Closing Date). Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, to the extent applicable (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, further, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, to the Borrower as provided above.

(c)Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

(d)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(e)Anything in subsections (a) to (d) above to the contrary notwithstanding, after giving effect to all Term Borrowings and Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect for Term Borrowings and Revolving Credit Borrowings (which number of Interest Periods may be increased by agreement between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in connection with any Incremental Term Loan Facility or Extended Term Loan Facility).

Section 2.03.Letters of Credit.

(a)The Letter of Credit Commitments.

(i)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (1) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Alternative Currencies for the account of the Borrower (provided that any Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any other Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit, and (2) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued

78


pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit, if after giving effect to such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (z) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender in an Alternative Currency plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations in an Alternative Currency would exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Alternative Currency Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii)An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder);

(B)subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Lenders and such L/C Issuer have approved such expiry date;

(C)the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless such Letter of Credit will be Cash Collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer;

(D)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any material Laws, regulations or internal policies binding upon such L/C Issuer;

(E)with respect to any Letters of Credit requested to be denominated in any Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer receives written notice from the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit that, immediately after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, all L/C Obligations at such time in respect of each Letter of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies would exceed $10,000,000;

(F)such Letter of Credit is requested to be denominated in any currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency; or

79


(G)in the case of Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, such requested Letter of Credit is not a standby letter of credit.

(iii)An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b)Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto Renewal Letters of Credit.

(i)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the delivery by the Borrower of a Letter of Credit Application to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount and currency thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (g) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the relevant L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii)If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal

80


at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone, followed promptly in writing, or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied.

(iv)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i)Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing thereof. On the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which the Borrower shall have received such notice of any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (or, if the Borrower shall have received such notice later than 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, on the second succeeding Business Day) (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in (x) Dollars or (y) with respect to any Letter of Credit issued in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency (or if requested by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Dollar Equivalent thereof in Dollars). If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Appropriate Lenders, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii)Each Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to

81


the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer.

(iii)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv)Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer.

(v)Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans (but not L/C Advances) pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)  is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi)If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate. A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

82


(vii)If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to each Revolving Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(viii)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate.

(d)Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii)any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv)any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v)any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee,

83


for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party;

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential or exemplary damages) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

(e)Role of L/C Issuers.  Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees, Affiliates or Subsidiaries of any L/C Issuer or any of the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives of an L/C Issuer or its Affiliate shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower caused by such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(f)Cash Collateral.  (i) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02(b)(iii) or (ii) an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) or (k) occurs and is continuing, then the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to 102% of the Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i), (1) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 1:00 p.m., or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (ii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) or (k) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day, in either

84


case, by 1:00 p.m. on such day.  For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the Revolving Credit Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at MSSF and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents at MSSF’s sole discretion. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders) or that the total amount of such funds is less than 102% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts at MSSF as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (a) 102% of such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds 102% of the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or if such Cash Collateral was not granted after an Event of Default, no Event Default has occurred and is continuing), the excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. If such Cash Collateral was granted after an Event of Default, then if such Event of Default is cured or waived and no Event of Default is then occurring and continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral and accrued interest thereon shall be refunded to the Borrower.  If such Cash Collateral was not granted after an Event of Default, then the amount of any Cash Collateral and accrued interest thereon shall be refunded to the Borrower upon the circumstances requiring Cash Collateralization ceasing to exist.

(g)Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (except for a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a per annum Letter of Credit fee equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate for Letter of Credit fees and (ii) the average daily amount of L/C Obligations. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and upon the termination of the respective Letter of Credit, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable on the last Business Day each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate for Letter of Credit fees during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate for Letter of Credit fees separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(h)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers.  The Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (a “Fronting Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum (or such other percentage as may be separately agreed to between the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower) of the average daily amount of L/C Obligations.  Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each December, March, June and September, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable

85


within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

(i)Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

(j)Replacement/Addition of an L/C Issuer. The Borrower may add any Revolving Credit Lender as an L/C Issuer with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and the Administrative Agent may add any Additional Lender as an L/C Issuer with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), in each case, with the agreement of such new L/C Issuer, whereupon such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of a L/C Issuer hereunder, and the term “L/C Issuer” shall mean such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment.  The acceptance of any appointment as a L/C Issuer hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall become a “L/C Issuer” hereunder.

Section 2.04.Swing Line Loans.

(a)The Swing Line Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (1) each Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Swing Line Expiration Date, to make Swing Line Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower in an aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that no Swing Line Lender shall be obligated to provide a Swing Line Loan if, after giving effect to the making of any Swing Line Loan, (x) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or (y) the aggregate amount of outstanding Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit. The Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Commitment shall expire on the Swing Line Expiration Date and all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans shall be paid in full no later than such date.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, until the Swing Line Expiration Date, borrow, prepay and reborrow Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04.

(b)Procedures for Borrowings of Swing Line Loans.

(i)Swing Line Loans shall be made in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.

(ii)Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date for the Borrowing written notice requesting the Swing Line Loan.

86


(iii)Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable date of the Borrowing by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the principal office designated by the Administrative Agent.  Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans available to the Borrower by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Swing Line Loans received by the Administrative Agent from the Swing Line Lender to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the principal office designated by the Administrative Agent, or to such other account as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(iv)The Swing Line Lender shall have the right to demand repayment by the Borrower of any Swing Line Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent before 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 15th day and the last day of each calendar month (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day).  With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been repaid by the Borrower upon demand pursuant to the foregoing sentence or voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05, the Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Borrowing, a notice requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Credit Commitments make Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the Borrower on the proposed date of the Borrowing in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans made by the Lenders other than the Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Credit Loans are made, the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan made by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note (if any) of the Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of the Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans made by the Lenders, including the Revolving Credit Loans deemed to be made by the Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans.  If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 10.06.

(v)If for any reason Revolving Credit Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(iv) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third Business Day after

87


demand for payment thereof by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon.  Upon one Business Days’ notice from the Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Credit Commitment shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the principal office designated by the Swing Line Lender.  In order to evidence such participation each Lender holding a Revolving Credit Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender.  In the event any Lender holding a Revolving Credit Commitment fails to make available to the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this Section 2.04(b)(v), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as applicable.

(vi)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(v) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that the Swing Line Lender had not received prior notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders that any of the conditions under Section 4.02 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were not satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (2) the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) it does not in good faith believe that all conditions under Section 4.02 to the making of such Swing Line Loan have been satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders or (B) at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loans.

(c)Resignation and Removal of Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Lender may resign as Swing Line Lender upon 30 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower.  The Swing Line Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swing Line Lender and the successor Swing Line Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swing Line Lender.  At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, (i) the Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the resigning or removed Swing Line Lender. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or resignation, (x) any successor Swing Line Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swing Line Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swing Line Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swing Line Lenders, as the context shall require.

88


Section 2.05.Prepayments.

(a)Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans (including Swing Line Loans); (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in the case of each of clauses (2) and (3), the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding (or, with respect to Revolving Credit Loans in an Alternative Currency, such other minimal or integral multiples as the Administrative Agent and GBT may agree). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid; provided that notice of prepayment of a Swing Line Loan may be given telephonically.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment.  Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon and any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to the Repayment Amounts as directed by the Borrower and shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may (i) prepay Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) without any requirement to prepay Extended Term Loans that were converted or exchanged from such Existing Term Loan Class and (ii) prepay Extended Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) without any requirement to prepay Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class that were converted or exchanged for such Extended Term Loans.  In the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments to reduce Repayment Amounts or as between Classes of Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such proceeds be applied to reduce the installments in direct order of maturity on a pro-rata basis among Term Loan Classes.  At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(a), such prepayment shall not be applied to any Loan of a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(a) or anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, in the event that, on or prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower (i) makes any prepayment of the Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction the primary purpose of which is to decrease the Effective Yield on such Term Loans or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction the primary purpose of which is to decrease the Effective Yield on the Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Lenders, (x) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1% of the amount of the Term Loans being prepaid in connection with such Repricing Transaction, which amounts shall be earned, due and payable on the date such prepayment is consummated and (y) in the case of clause (ii), an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment that are subject to an effective pricing reduction pursuant to such Repricing Transaction (whether or not the holders of such Term Loans elect to participate in such Repricing Transaction), which amounts shall be earned, due and payable on the date on which such Repricing Transaction becomes effective.

(b)Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)Within ten (10) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered (or were required to be delivered) pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) (commencing with the financial statements to be delivered with respect to the fiscal year ending December 31,

89


2019), the Borrower shall offer to prepay (or cause an offer to prepay) an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to (A) 50% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “ECF Percentage”) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements, minus (B) the sum of (without duplication of amounts deducted pursuant to the definition of Excess Cash Flow) (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans and any other prepayments of Permitted Additional Debt and/or other Indebtedness secured by Liens on the Collateral on a pari passu basis or senior basis to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Initial Term Loans (including in connection with debt buybacks made by the Borrower in an amount equal to the discounted amount actually paid in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.05(d), Section 10.07 and/or otherwise, and/or application of any “yank-a-bank” provisions) during such fiscal year and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans during such fiscal year to the extent the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such payments or any voluntary prepayments of revolving loans or other revolving Indebtedness constituting Permitted Additional Debt or an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase secured by Liens on the Collateral on a pari passu basis or senior basis to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Revolving Credit Loans to the extent the applicable commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such payments, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), in each case, during such fiscal year or, without duplication of any amounts deducted in any previous fiscal year, after year-end and prior to the time such prepayment is required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b); provided that (x) the ECF Percentage shall be 25% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was equal to or less than 1.75:1.00 and greater than 1.25:1.00 and (y) the ECF Percentage shall be 0% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was equal to or less than 1.25:1.00.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) shall be required in any fiscal year unless the amount of such prepayment for such fiscal year exceeds $20,000,000 (and, in such case, only the amount by which such prepayment amount for such fiscal year exceeds $20,000,000 shall be required to prepaid hereunder).

(ii)

(A)Subject to Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B), if (x) GBT or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05 (except pursuant to Section 7.05(l), Section 7.05(m)(ii) and Section 7.05(x)), or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which in the aggregate results in the realization or receipt by GBT or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall offer to make a prepayment (or cause an offer to make a prepayment), in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(C), of an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100%  (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “Asset Sale Sweep Percentage”) or, if any Indebtedness (other than the Loans) is outstanding that constitute First Lien Obligations and that require a prepayment from such Net Cash Proceeds a percentage equal to the product of the Asset Sale Sweep Percentage multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Loans and such other Indebtedness outstanding (such percentage, the “Asset Percentage”) of all such Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided that no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall

90


have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intention to reinvest, or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary, cause to be reinvested, in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B); provided further that the Asset Sale Sweep Percentage shall be 50% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for the most recent Test Period for which Financials have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 was equal to or less than 1.75:1.00 and greater than 1.25:1.00 and (y) the Asset Sale Sweep Percentage shall be 0% if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was equal to or less than 1.25:1.00.

(B)With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may reinvest, or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary, cause to be reinvested, all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in its business within (x) 18 months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower or other applicable Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within 18 months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) 18 months following receipt thereof or (2) one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided that if any Net Cash Proceeds are not so reinvested by the deadline specified in clause (x) or (y) above, as applicable, an amount equal to the Asset Sale Sweep Percentage or Asset Percentage (as applicable) of any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be offered to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b).

(C)On each occasion that the Borrower must make a prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii), the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after the date of realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, in the case of prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B), within five (5) Business Days of the deadline specified in clause (x) or (y) thereof, as applicable, or of the date the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested, as the case may be), make a prepayment (or cause an offer to make a prepayment), in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(v) below, of the principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to the Asset Sale Sweep Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds realized or received.

(iii)On each occasion that a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day after the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, offer to prepay, in accordance with clause (iv) below, a principal amount of Term Loans and unpaid accrued interest and premium thereon in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event.

(iv)Except as set forth in clause (vii) below and subject to clause (v) below, (x) each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied, in the first instance to the Term Loans, to the Repayment Amounts in direct order of maturity to the first applicable eight scheduled Term Loan Repayment Amounts contemplated in Section 2.07 and then pro rata to the remaining scheduled Term Loan Repayment Amounts, following the applicable prepayment event; and each such prepayment shall be paid to the

91


Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares and (y)(A) each prepayment of Term Loans required by Sections 2.05(b)(i) and (ii) shall be allocated to the Classes of Term Loans outstanding, pro rata, based upon the applicable remaining Repayment Amounts due in respect of each such Class of Term Loans, shall be applied pro rata to Lenders within each Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Lender under each such Class of Term Loans and shall be applied to reduce such scheduled Repayment Amounts within each such Class in accordance with clause (x) above and (B) each prepayment of Term Loans required by clause (iii) above in connection with a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event shall be allocated to any Class of Term Loans outstanding as directed by the Borrower, shall be applied pro rata to Lenders within each Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Lender under each such Class of Term Loans and shall be applied to reduce such scheduled Repayment Amounts within each such Class in accordance with clause (x) above; provided that with respect to the allocation of such prepayments under clause (A) above only between an Existing Term Loan Class and Extended Term Loans of the same Extension Series, the Borrower may allocate such prepayments as the Borrower may specify, subject to the limitation that the Borrower shall not allocate to Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series any such mandatory prepayment under such clause (A) unless such prepayment is accompanied by at least a pro rata prepayment, based upon the applicable remaining Repayment Amounts due in respect thereof, of the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class, if any, from which such Extended Term Loans were converted or exchanged (or such Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class have otherwise been repaid in full). In the second instance, each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied to the prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Loans (without affecting a permanent reduction of the Commitments) on a basis consistent with the pro rata application described in connection with the prepayment of Term Loans in this Section 2.05(b)(iv), and finally to Cash Collateralize issued Letters of Credit.

(v)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) at least one (1) Business Day prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Appropriate Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii), of this Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 9:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be returned to and be permitted to be retained by the Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”).

(vi)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05(b), (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Non-Loan Party giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) (a “Non-Loan Party Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Non-Loan Party (a

92


Non-Loan Party Casualty Event”), or Excess Cash Flow is prohibited or delayed by applicable local Law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be offered to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.05(b)(i), or the Borrower shall not be required to offer to prepay the Term Loans at the time provided in Section 2.05(b)(ii), as the case may be. Instead, such amounts may be retained by the applicable Non-Loan Party so long, but only so long, as the applicable local Law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Non-Loan Party to use commercially reasonable efforts to take actions required by the applicable local Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local Law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days after such repatriation) offered to be applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Non-Loan Party Disposition, any Non-Loan Party Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax cost consequence to GBT, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (whether as a result of a deemed dividend, a tax cost, withholding tax or otherwise, but, in any case, taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit received in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Non-Loan Party; provided that in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) (or such Excess Cash Flow would have been so required if it were Net Cash Proceeds), (x) the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Borrower rather than such Non-Loan Party, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Non-Loan Party) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Non-Loan Party.

(vii)With respect to each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Loans elected by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(a), the Borrower may designate (i) the Class and Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made and (ii) the Revolving Credit Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid; provided that (x) Eurocurrency Loans may be designated for prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurocurrency Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required prepayment and all Base Rate Loans have been paid in full; (y) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans of such Class (except that any prepayment made in connection with a reduction of the Commitments of such Class pursuant to Section 2.06 shall be applied pro rata based on the amount of the reduction in the Commitments of such Class of each applicable Lender); and (z) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (y), at the option of the Borrower, no prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of Revolving Credit Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied to the Loans of any Defaulting Lender.  In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the

93


preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05.

(c)Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.05, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05, prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05, in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made hereunder until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be so prepaid; provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 2.05.

(d)Discounted Voluntary Prepayments.

Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as (x) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) no proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans are used for this purpose, the Borrower may prepay the outstanding Term Loans (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be automatically and permanently cancelled and the Register updated to reflect such cancellation (calculated on the par amount thereof) immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower) on the following basis:

(A)The Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans at a discount to par (such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”) pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.05(d); provided that the Borrower shall not initiate any action under this Section 2.05(d) in order to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment unless (I) at least ten (10) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment (if applicable) as a result of a prepayment made by the Borrower on the applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date; or (II) at least two (2) Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower was notified that no Term Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of a Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower’s election not to accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(2)If there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”).  The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and

Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration.  Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.  The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(D)(iii)Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual  Class basis (but, for the avoidance of doubt, pro rata to all Lenders within such Class), (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate dollar amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the Class or Classes of Term Loans the Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.05(d)), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date.  The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”).  Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount.  Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.

(1)The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date.  The Borrower shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any.  If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable

98

(2)Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this subsection (D).  If the Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount.  Each Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”).  The Borrower will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”).  On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the Borrower of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable

99


Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Classes to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of such Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration.  Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.  The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(E)In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of such fees and expenses from the Borrower as may be separately agreed between the Borrower and the Auction Agent in connection therewith.

(F)If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with paragraphs (B) through (D) above, the Borrower shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date.  The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in same day funds not later than 12:00 noon on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments (calculated on the par amount thereof) shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant Class of Term Loans in such order as the Borrower may direct.  The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date.  Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(d) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable.  The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and Repayment Amounts shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Classes of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.

(G)To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent, with the provisions in this Section 2.05(d), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.

(H)Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.05(d), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(I)Each of the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.05(d) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate.  The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.05(d) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.

(J)The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Term Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.05(d) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 or otherwise).

Section 2.06.Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a)Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent two (2) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof,  and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Except as provided above, the amount of any such Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower. It is understood and agreed that (1) the Borrower may allocate any termination or reduction of Commitments among Classes of Commitments at its direction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to the Commitments with respect to any Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments without any termination or reduction of the Commitments with respect to any Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the same Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class) and (2) in connection with the establishment on any date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.15, the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount of Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments so extended on such date or, if agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, by any greater amount so long as the Borrower prepays the Existing Revolving Credit Loans of such Class owed to such Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to the extent necessary to ensure that after giving effect to such repayment or reduction, the Existing Revolving Credit Loans of such Class are held by the Lenders of such Class on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class after giving effect to such reduction; provided that after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Loans made on such date, the aggregate amount of the revolving credit exposure of any such Lender does not exceed the Existing Revolving Credit Commitment thereof (such revolving credit exposure and Revolving Credit Commitment being determined in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of such Lender’s Extended Revolving Credit Commitment and any exposure in respect thereof).

101


(b)Mandatory. The Term Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Term Lender’s Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a).  The Revolving Credit Commitments (other than any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) shall terminate on the applicable Maturity Date. The Swing Line Commitment shall terminate on the Swing Line Expiration Date. The Incremental Term Loan Commitment for any Class shall, unless otherwise provided in the documentation governing such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, terminate at 5:00 p.m. on the Incremental Facility Closing Date for such Class.  With respect to each mandatory reduction and termination of Revolving Credit Commitments (and any previously extended Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) required (x) in connection with the incurrence of any Refinancing Amendment Debt Incurred in reliance on Section 2.17 or Permitted Additional Debt Incurred in reliance on Section 7.03(u)(i) and (y) in connection with the incurrence of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower may designate (A) the Classes of Commitments to be reduced and terminated and (B) the corresponding Classes of Loans to be prepaid; provided that (x) any such reduction and termination shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the Commitments of each of the Lenders within any such Class and (y) after giving effect to such termination or reduction and to any prepayments of Loans or cancellation or cash collateralization of letters of credit made on the date of each such reduction and termination in accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of such Lenders’ credit exposures shall not exceed the remaining Commitments of such Lenders’ in respect of the Class reduced and terminated.  In connection with any such termination or reduction, to the extent necessary, the participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit may be required to be reallocated and related loans outstanding prepaid and then reborrowed, in each case in the manner contemplated by the last three sentences of Section 2.14(f)(ii) (as modified to account for a termination or reduction, as opposed to an increase, of such Commitment).

(c)Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.11.Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a)The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the 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 Credit Extensions 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 demonstrable error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), Class, amount, maturity and currency of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b)In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(c), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c)Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable to 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

105


obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.12.Payments Generally.

(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 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein or such later time as the Administrative Agent may otherwise determine in its reasonable discretion. 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. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, all payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. shall 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; provided that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(c)Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i)if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Overnight Rate; and

(ii)if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. The foregoing shall not release Lender from its obligation to fulfill

106


its Commitment or prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error.

(d)If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

(f)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(g)Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.04. 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 sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

Section 2.13.Sharing of Payments.  If, other than as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise, but excluding any amounts applied by the Swing Line Lenders to outstanding Swing Line Loans) in excess of its ratable share that it is owed (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that (x) 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

107


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, (y) the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant and (z) the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate (or other pricing term, including any fee, discount or premium) in respect of Loans or Commitments of Lenders that have consented to any such extension to the extent such transaction is permitted hereunder. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of demonstrable error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

Section 2.14.Incremental Credit Extensions.

(a)The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent, request (i) one or more additional Classes of term loans or additional Loans of the same Class of term loans as an existing Class of Term Loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or (ii) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase” and together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Facilities” and the commitments in respect thereof are referred to as the “Incremental Commitments”); provided that, subject to the provisions set forth in the remainder of this Section 2.14, (i) no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom (except in the case that the proceeds of any Incremental Facilities are being used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, in which case the standard will be no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom on the LCA Test Date) and (ii) all representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless qualified by materiality or a Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) (except in the case that the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are being used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, in which case only (x) the representations referred to in the definition of Certain Funds Representations in so far as they relate to the Loan Parties at such time and (y) customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” representations with respect to the Limited Condition Transaction, shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless qualified by materiality or a Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representations shall be true and correct in all respects).

(b)Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth below) (and in minimum increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), and, subject to calculation adjustments set forth in Section 1.09(f) with respect to any Incremental Facility being incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, the aggregate amount of (X) the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases incurred pursuant to this Section 2.14 plus (Y) the aggregate principal amount of Permitted Additional Debt incurred under Section 7.03(u)(i)(A) shall not exceed, as of the date of Incurrence of such Indebtedness or commitments, the sum of (A) the Incremental Base Amount plus (B) an aggregate additional amount of Indebtedness, such that, after giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence (and after giving effect to any Specified Transaction to be consummated

108


in connection therewith and assuming that all Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases Incurred at such time and in connection therewith were fully drawn) GBT and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be in compliance with (I) if such Indebtedness to be Incurred thereunder is intended to be a First Lien Obligation, a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio that is no greater than 2.50:1.00 (or, to the extent such Permitted Additional Debt is incurred in connection with any acquisition or similar investment not prohibited by this Agreement, the greater of 2.50:1.00 and the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio at the end of the most recently ended Test Period), (II) if such Indebtedness to be Incurred thereunder is intended to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is junior to the Lien securing the First Lien Obligations, a Secured Net Leverage Ratio that is no greater than 3.50:1.00 (or, to the extent such Permitted Additional Debt is incurred in connection with any acquisition or similar investment not prohibited by this Agreement, the greater of 3.50:1.00 and the Secured Net Leverage Ratio at the end of the most recently ended Test Period) and (III) if such Indebtedness to be Incurred thereunder is intended to be unsecured, either at the Borrower’s option (x) a Total Net Leverage Ratio that is no greater than 4.00:1.00 (or, to the extent such Permitted Additional Debt is incurred in connection with any acquisition or similar investment not prohibited by this Agreement, the greater of 4.00:1.00 and the Total Net Leverage Ratio at the end of the most recently ended Test Period) or (y) an Interest Coverage Ratio that is not less than 2.00:1.00 for the most recently ended Test Period (or, to the extent such Permitted Additional Debt is incurred in connection with any acquisition or similar investment not prohibited by this Agreement, the lesser of 2.00:1.00 and the Interest Coverage Ratio at the end of the most recently ended Test Period).

(c)(A)The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank (x) equal in right of payment and of security with the Term Loans and shall be secured only by all or a portion of the Collateral securing the Obligations or (y) subordinated in right of payment and of security to the Term Loans and shall either be unsecured or secured only on a junior lien basis by all or a portion of the Collateral securing the Obligations, (ii) shall not be guaranteed by any Person that is not a Guarantor hereunder, (iii) other than Inside Maturity Loans, shall not mature earlier than the Latest Maturity Date with respect to the Initial Term Loans, (iv) other than Inside Maturity Loans, shall not have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the remaining Initial Term Loan, (v) shall have a maturity date (subject to clause (iii)), an amortization schedule (subject to clause (iv)), and interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment terms and premiums for the Incremental Term Loans as determined by the Borrower and the lenders of the Incremental Term Loans; provided that in the event that the Effective Yield for any such Incremental Term Loans that are Qualifying Term Loans incurred in reliance on Section 2.14(b)(B) (other than any (a) Incremental Term Loans with an Incremental Facility Closing Date after the six month anniversary of the Closing Date or (b) Incremental Term Loans that are unsecured or secured on a junior lien basis by all or a portion of the Collateral securing the Obligations) is greater than the Effective Yield for the Term Loans by more than 0.50% per annum, then the Applicable Rates for the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Effective Yield for the Term Loans are equal to the Effective Yield for the Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50% per annum; provided further that, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower in its sole discretion, that any increase in the Effective Yield to any Term Loan due to the application or imposition of a Base Rate floor or Eurocurrency Rate floor on any such Indebtedness shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) any Base Rate floor or Eurocurrency Rate floor applicable to such Term Loan (this proviso, the “MFN Provision”); and (vi) may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the Term Facility; provided that (x) except with respect to matters contemplated by clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) above, any differences shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (y) the documentation governing any Incremental Term Loans may include any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility; provided, further, however, that if the applicable Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant is a “springing” financial maintenance covenant, the Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant shall be automatically included in this

109


agreement only for the benefit of each revolving credit facility hereunder (and not for the benefit of any term loan facility hereunder) and (z) the documentation governing any Incremental Term Loans may include covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date at such time.

(B)The Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be treated the same as the Revolving Credit Commitments (including with respect to maturity date thereof) and shall be considered to be part of the Revolving Credit Facility (it being understood that, if required to consummate an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, the interest rate margins, rate floors and undrawn commitment fees on the Revolving Credit Commitments may be increased and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase).

(d)Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be given in writing and shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases.  Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases may be provided, subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) or by any other bank, financial institution, other institutional lender or other investor (any such other bank, financial institution or other investor being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender; provided, further, that, solely with respect to any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases, each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Additional Lender’s providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender.

(e)Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Agreement”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, each L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender (if applicable) and the Administrative Agent.  The Incremental Agreement may, subject to Section 2.14(c), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14 (including, (i) in connection with an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, to reallocate Revolving Credit Exposure on a pro rata basis among the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders and (ii) any needed adjustments to amortization payments to ensure fungibility of any Incremental Term Loans).  The effectiveness of any Incremental Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) and the occurrence of any extension of credit thereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the parties thereto shall agree.  The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases for ongoing working capital requirements of GBT and its Subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes (including to fund Permitted Acquisitions or any other acquisitions not prohibited by the Loan Documents).

110


(f)(i)No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases unless it so agrees and the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increases.

(ii)Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans held by each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class (including each such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class.  If, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Credit Loans of such Class outstanding, such Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Credit Loans of such Class being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.05.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(g)This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.02(b) or 10.01 to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, any provisions of this Section 2.14 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided no such amendment shall require any Lender to provide any Incremental Commitment without such Lender’s consent.

Section 2.15.Extensions of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a)(i)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of each Term Loan of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the scheduled final maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so extended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.15.  Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class, with such request offered equally to all such Lenders of such Existing Term Loan Class) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be similar to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be extended except that (w) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of all or a portion of any principal amount of such

111


Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.07(a) or in the Extension Agreement or the Incremental Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class of Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were extended, in each case as more particularly set forth in Section 2.15(c) below), (x)(A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment terms and premiums with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Agreement, (y) subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.06, the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) and mandatory prepayment terms as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (z) the Extension Agreement may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date.  No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request.  Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class of Term Loans from which they were extended.

(ii)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (and, in each case, including any previously extended Revolving Credit Commitments ), existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Credit Commitment” and any related revolving credit loans under any such facility, “Existing Revolving Credit Loans”; each Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and related Existing Revolving Credit Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Revolving Credit Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Revolving Credit Loans related to such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and any related revolving credit loans, “Extended Revolving Credit Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.15.  Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, with such request offered equally to all Lenders of such Class) (a “Revolving Credit Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established thereunder, which terms shall be similar to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class”) except that (w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class, (x)(A) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment premiums with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be different than those for the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and

112


(y)(1) the undrawn revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be different than those for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class and (2) the Extension Agreement may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15, or otherwise, (I) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of the Extended Revolving Credit Loans under any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Existing Revolving Credit Loans of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Agreement and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and repayment procedures of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class), (II) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the assignment and participation provisions set forth in Section 10.07 and (III) subject to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 2.07, permanent repayments of Extended Revolving Credit Loans (and corresponding permanent reduction in the related Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be permitted as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.  No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of any Existing Revolving Credit Class converted or exchanged into Extended Revolving Credit Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request.  Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date).

(b)The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purpose of this Section 2.15.  Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (or any earlier Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) of an Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted or exchanged into Extended Loans/Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments (and/or any earlier extended Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) which it has elected to convert or exchange into Extended Loans/Commitments (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent).  In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments (and any earlier extended Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Loans/Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, or earlier extended Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to or exchanged to Extended Loans/Commitments on a pro rata basis (subject to such rounding requirements as may be established by the Administrative Agent) based on the amount of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments and earlier extended Extended Revolving Credit Commitments included in each such Extension Election or as may be otherwise agreed to in the applicable Extension Agreement.  Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Credit Commitment into an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, unless expressly agreed by the holders of each affected Existing Revolving Credit Commitment of the Specified Existing

Revolving Credit Commitment Class, such Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be treated more favorably than all Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender in respect of Letters of Credit under Section 2.03, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the last day for issuing Letters of Credit or providing Swing Line Loans may be extended and the related obligations to issue Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans may be continued (pursuant to mechanics to be specified in the applicable Extension Amendment) so long as the applicable L/C Issuer  and/or Swing Line Lender has consented to such extensions (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(c)Extended Loans/Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Agreement”) to this Agreement (which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.01, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Loans/Commitments established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties and the Extending Lenders (and notice thereof together with the Extension Agreement delivered to the Administrative Agent).  In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.15(a), each Extension Agreement in respect of Extended Term Loans shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.07(a) or the applicable Incremental Agreement or Extension Agreement with respect to the Existing Class of Term Loans from which the Extended Term Loans were exchanged to reduce each scheduled Repayment Amount for the Existing Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Class is to be reduced pursuant to such Extension Agreement (it being understood that the amount of any Repayment Amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof).  In connection with any Extension Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Agreement, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case of such other Loan Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence) and covering customary matters and (ii) to the effect that such Extension Agreement, including the Extended Loans/Commitments provided for therein, does not breach or result in a default under the provisions of Section 10.01 of this Agreement.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Term Loan Class or Class of Existing Revolving Credit Commitments is converted or exchanged to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraph (a) above (an “Extension Date”), (I) in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date), and (II) in the case of the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of each Extending Lender under any Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class, the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date (or by any greater amount as may be agreed by the Borrower and such Lender), and such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Existing Revolving Credit Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment Class, such Existing Revolving Credit Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be converted or exchanged to Extended Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) of the applicable Class in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class.

114


(e)In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans of a given Extension Series or the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Extension Series, in each case to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Extension Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Agreement”) within 15 days following the effective date of such Extension Agreement, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Agreement shall (i) provide for the conversion or exchange and extension of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (and related Revolving Credit Exposure), as the case may be, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related revolving credit exposure) of the applicable Extension Series into which such other Term Loans or commitments were initially converted or exchanged, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Agreement, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree (including conditions of the type required to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Extension Agreement described in Section 2.15(c)), and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.15(c).

(f)No conversion or exchange of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Agreement in accordance with this Section 2.15 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(g)This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.02(b) or Section 10.01 to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.15 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such amendment shall require any Lender to provide any Extended Loans/Commitments without such Lender’s consent.

Section 2.16.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)The Commitment Fee shall cease to accrue on any of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a);

(b)The Commitment, Outstanding Amount of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.01); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately when compared to the other affected Lenders, or increases or extends the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c)If any L/C Obligations or participations in Swing Line Loans exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)all or any part of the L/C Obligations or participations in Swing Line Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in

115


accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, (x) first repay the Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s participation therein (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) and (y) second Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the L/C Issuer only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(f) for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding;

(iii)if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(h) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are Cash Collateralized;

(iv)if the L/C Obligations or participation in Swing Line Loans  of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.09(a) and 2.03(h) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares; and

(v)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations or participation in Swing Line Loans  is neither reallocated, repaid or Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.03(h)  or in respect of Swing Line Loans with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations or participation in Swing Line Loans shall be payable to the L/C Issuer  or Swing Line Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Obligations or participation in Swing Line Loans are repaid, reallocated, and/or Cash Collateralized; and

(d)So long as (i) such Lender is a Defaulting Lender and (ii) a reallocation pursuant to clauses (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above cannot be effectuated, the L/C Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it has received assurances reasonably satisfactory to it that non-Defaulting Lenders will cover the related exposure and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.16(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.16(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(e)In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the L/C Obligations and participations in Swing Line Loans of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Credit Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Credit Loans 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

116


behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.17.Refinancing Amendments.

(a)After the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain by written notice to the Administrative Agent, from any Lender or any Replacement Lender, Refinancing Amendment Debt in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding under this Agreement in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment.  Any Replacement Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment.  Such notice shall set forth (x) the amount of the applicable Refinancing Amendment Debt, (y) the date on which the applicable Refinancing Amendment Debt is to become effective and (z) whether such Refinancing Amendment Debt will be made pursuant to Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Replacement Term Loans.

(b)The Borrower may seek Refinancing Amendment Debt from existing Lenders or any Replacement Lender.  The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) through (c) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements substantially consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01).

(c)Each incurrence of Refinancing Amendment Debt under this Section 2.17 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Amendment Debt incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Replacement Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments).  Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01.

(d)It is understood that (w) any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of Refinancing Amendment Debt may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Refinancing Amendment Debt (it being understood that there is no obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Replacement Commitment), (x) the Administrative Agent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and, with respect to any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment, the consent of each L/C Issuer that is a Lender and the Swing Lender shall be required with respect to any Person’s providing such Refinancing Amendment Debt if such consent would be required under Section 10.07 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Person and (y) any Purchasing Borrower Party or any Permitted Holder Affiliated Lender providing an Replacement Term Commitment shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(j) as it would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment of Term Loans to such Purchasing Borrower Party or Sponsor Affiliated Lender and no Purchasing Borrower Party or any Permitted Holder Affiliated Lender may provide any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loan and (z) any Affiliated Debt Fund providing a Replacement Term Commitment or Replacement Term Loan shall be subject to the same

117


restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(k) as it would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment of Term Loans to such Affiliated Debt Fund and no Affiliated Debt Fund may provide any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loan.

(e)Upon the effectiveness of any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17, each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment immediately prior to such effectiveness will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Replacement Lender with such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment, and each such Replacement Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such existing Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations and any other adjustments that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Replacement Lender) will equal the percentage of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment divided by the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall there be more than one (1) outstanding Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder at any time.

Section 2.18.Open Market Purchases.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time make open market purchases of Term Loans of any Class (each, an “Open Market Purchase”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such Open Market Purchase, and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower confirming compliance with this clause (i);

(ii)the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans so purchased by the Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold); and

(iii)the Borrower shall represent and warrant, as of the date of such Open Market Purchase, that none of the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors or officers has any material non-public information that has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than to the extent any such Term Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) prior to such date.

(b)With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18, the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant purchase document as agreed by the respective selling Lender).

(c)The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Open Market Purchases contemplated by this Section 2.18 and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement that may otherwise prohibit any Open Market Purchase in accordance with this Section 2.18.

118


ARTICLE III

TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01.Taxes.

(a)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 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, Other Taxes.

(c)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.

(d)To the extent not paid pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(b), the Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within fifteen (15) 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 3.01) 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 or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that 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(e) 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

119


Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.01(e).

(f)(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to 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 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(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(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 IRS Form 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 IRS Form 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;

(2)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

120


(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-2 or Exhibit O-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 O-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

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.  Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

121


(g)If any party reasonably 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 within fifteen (15) days an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable 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 Section 3.01(g) (plus any 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 Section 3.01(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.01(g) 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 Section 3.01(g) 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.

(h)VAT.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.01 to the contrary:

(i)All amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any Loan Party to a Lender or Agent which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or Agent to any Loan Party under a Loan Document and such Lender or Agent is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Loan Party must pay to such Lender or Agent (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Lender or Agent must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Loan Party).

(ii)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or Agent (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender or Agent (the “Specified Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any Loan Party other than the Specified Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Specified Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(A)(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Specified Recipient must (where this paragraph (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Specified Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Specified Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

122


(B)(where the Specified Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Specified Recipient, pay to the Specified Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Specified Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(iii)Where a Loan Document requires any Loan Party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender or Agent for any cost or expense, that Loan Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender or Agent for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender or Agent reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv)Any reference in this Section 3.01(h) to any Loan Party shall, at any time when such Loan Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994 of the United Kingdom).

(v)In relation to any supply made by a Lender or Agent to any Loan Party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender or Agent, that Loan Party must promptly provide such Lender or Agent with details of that Loan Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Lender’s or Agent’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(i)Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event requiring payment of Indemnified Taxes under Section 3.01(a) or (d) with respect to a Lender, such affected Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office(s) to suffer no material unreimbursed cost or expense or economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation.

(j)The agreements in this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of any Agent, any assignment of rights by, or replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations.

Section 3.02.Illegality.

(a)If any Lender reasonably determines that due to any Change in Law after the Closing Date it is unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority that is a court, statutory board or commission has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate as contemplated by this Agreement, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, in respect of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (A) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (B) upon receipt of such

notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such Eurocurrency Rate Loans, that have become unlawful or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (C) upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for any such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b)If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Secured Party in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law, then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law.

Section 3.03.Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurocurrency market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Section 3.04.Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

(a)If any Lender determines that as a result of any Change in Law after the Closing Date, there shall be any actual increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount related to (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” (iii) Connection Income Taxes or (iv) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such actual increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such actual Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b)If any Lender determines that as a result of a Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements after the Closing Date, has the effect of reducing the actual rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity requirements and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such actual reduced rate of return

124


(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand.

(c)The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such actual additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice.

(d)Subject to Section 3.06(b), failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

(e)If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that nothing in this Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d).

(f)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.04 to the contrary, no Lender shall receive compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04, unless such Lender is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers in the U.S. leveraged loan market with respect to its similarly affected loans under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 3.04.

Section 3.05.Funding Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any actual loss, cost or expense (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any lost profits) incurred by it as a result of:

(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b)any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan) on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

including any actual loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees actually paid to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

125


Section 3.06.Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a)Any 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 in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b)With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(c)If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loan from one Interest Period to another, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(i)to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(ii)all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

(d)If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to Eurocurrency Rate Loans on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 3.07.Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

126


(a)If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02, or Section 3.04, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided, further, that in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents.

(b)Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans; provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and (ii) deliver Notes, if any, evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption, and any amounts owing to the assigning Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) under Section 3.05 as a consequence of such assignment shall have been paid by the Borrower to the assigning Lender and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, the assignor Lender shall deliver to the assignee Lender the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (i) any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer  or Swing Line Lender (x) may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit  or Swing Line Loan outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer, or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) or Swing Line Lender have been made with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan and (y) may not be replaced unless all outstanding amounts then owing to it in respect of Letters of Credit issued by it (including without limitation any reimbursement obligations or Letter of Credit fees) or Swing Line Loans (together with any applicable fees in respect thereof) shall first have been paid in full and (ii) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.

(d)In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure, termination, discharge or waiver of any provisions of the Loan

127


Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of the Loans, or with respect to the Facilities as a whole 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.”

(e)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto agrees that any assignment pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.07 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender making such assignment need not be a party thereto.

Section 3.08.Survival.  All of the Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.01, Section 3.04, Section 3.06 and Section 3.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

(a)Except as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Pension Plan is in compliance in with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state Laws, and (ii) each Foreign Plan established, sponsored or maintained by any Loan Party has been registered, established, invested, administered and maintained in compliance with all applicable Laws.  The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under all Pension Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund such Pension Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Pension Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by an amount, which, if all of such Pension Plans were terminated, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)(i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, (ii) neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA would result in such liability) under Section 4201 et seq. of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan, (iii) neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA and (iv) no Foreign Pension Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, except, with respect to each of the foregoing clauses of this Section 5.10(b), as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.11.Subsidiaries; Equity Interests.

(a)As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the Transactions occurring on the Closing Date, no Loan Party has any Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.11, and all of the outstanding Equity Interests in GBT and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, and to the extent such concepts exist with respect to such Equity Interests, are fully paid and nonassessable and all Equity Interests owned by GBT or any other Loan Party are owned free and clear of all Liens except (i) those created under the Collateral Documents and (ii) any Lien that is permitted by Section 7.01.

(b)As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the Transaction occurring on the Closing Date, (i) Schedule 5.11 sets forth  (x) the legal name and jurisdiction of incorporation, formation, organization, as the case may be, of each Subsidiary, (y) sets forth the ownership interest of GBT, the Borrower and any of their Restricted Subsidiaries in each of their Subsidiaries, including the class and percentage of ownership of such Equity Interests (on an “as-converted” or “as-exercised” basis) and (z) identifies each Person the Equity Interests of which are required to be pledged on the Closing Date pursuant to the Agreed Security Principles and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Consolidated EBITDA of the Group (after giving pro forma effect to the Transactions) attributable to the Borrower and the Initial Guarantors and the joinder of each of the Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 1.01E is no less than 70% of the Consolidated EBITDA of the Group for the four fiscal quarters of GBT ended on March 31, 2018 (the “Guarantor Coverage Ratio”).  Schedule 1.01E sets forth the Subsidiaries of GBT that are required to become Guarantors during the Initial Joinder Period (as defined in the Agreed Security Principles) to satisfy the Guarantor Coverage Ratio.

134


(c)Except for the Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties and non-Wholly Owned Material Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties previously disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing, as of the Closing Date, the Loan Parties do not have any other Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries or non-Wholly-Owned Material Subsidiaries. To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, as of the Closing Date, there are no, outstanding material warrants, options or other rights entitling any Person (other than a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries) to purchase or acquire any material portion of the Equity Interests (of the type referred to in clause (a) of such definition) in any Material Subsidiary.

Section 5.12.Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act.

(a)As of the Closing Date, none of the Collateral is comprised of any margin stock.  No Loan Party is engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Federal Reserve Board), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, and no proceeds of any Borrowings will be used for any purpose that violates Regulation T, U or X of the FRB.

(b)None of the Loan Parties is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 5.13.Disclosure.

(a)No written report, financial statement, certificate or other written information furnished by GBT, the Borrower, any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective authorized representatives in writing to any Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein or reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished prior to the date on which this representation and warranty is made or deemed made), as of the date of such reports, financial statement, certificate of other written information, contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact (known to any Loan Party, in the case of any information concerning the Target Group prior to the Closing Date) necessary to make the statements therein (taken as a whole) (to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of a Loan Party involved in the Transactions, insofar as it applies to information concerning the Target Group prior to the Closing Date), not materially misleading (after giving effect to all supplements so furnished prior to the time such statements were made) in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made; it being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 5.13(a), such written reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information shall not include projections (including financial estimates, budgets, forecasts and other forward-looking information), pro forma financial information or information of a general economic or industry specific nature.

(b)The projections, taken as a whole, contained in the information and data referred to in Section 5.13(a) were prepared in good faith based upon estimates and assumptions believed by GBT and the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made; it being recognized by the Agents and the Lenders that such projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, the projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of GBT, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, that no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material.

Section 5.14.Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc.  Each of the Loan Parties and the other Restricted Subsidiaries own, license or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, domain names, copyrights, patents, technology, software, trade secrets, know-how, database rights,

135


design rights and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “IP Rights”) that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses as currently conducted, and the use thereof by such Loan Party and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except to the extent such failures to own, license or possess or infringements, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No claim, proceeding or litigation regarding any such IP Rights is pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against any Loan Party or its Subsidiary, which, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  As of the Closing Date, none of the Loan Parties or Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries owns any registered Material Intellectual Property.

Section 5.16.Collateral Documents.  The Collateral Documents are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties legal, valid and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the Collateral (and solely in the case of Collateral Documents executed by a UK Loan Party and their enforceability against Persons other than such UK Loan Party itself, subject only to any necessary registration under section 859A of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006), except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity, and (i) when all appropriate filings or recordings are made in the appropriate offices as may be required under applicable Laws (which filings or recordings shall be made to the extent required by any Collateral Document) and (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by the Collateral Agent of such Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (which possession or control shall be given to the Collateral Agent to the extent required by any Collateral Document), the Liens created by such Collateral Documents will constitute so far as possible under relevant Law fully perfected first-priority Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral, in each case subject to no Liens other than any Lien that is permitted by Section 7.01.

Section 5.17.Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Initial Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used in a manner consistent with the uses set forth in the Preliminary Statements to this Agreement.

(b)None of the Loan Parties will, directly or to its knowledge indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary,

136


joint venture partner or other Person, (i) to fund or facilitate any activities or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or otherwise in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of comprehensive territorial Sanctions, except to the extent that such activities or business may be lawfully conducted by U.S. Persons under applicable Sanctions, (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person participating in this Agreement, or (iii) for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the “FCPA”) or any other applicable Anti-Corruption Law.

(c)No Loan, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will, violate any Anti-Corruption Law or any Sanctions and none of the Loan Parties will, directly or to its knowledge indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, if such proceeds would be used in a manner that would violate applicable Anti-Corruption Laws or any Sanctions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.09, none of GBT, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary will be required to disclose or permit the inspection or discussion of, any document, information or other matter (i) that constitutes non-financial trade secrets, commercially sensitive information or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by Law or any binding agreement or (iii) that is subject to attorney client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product; provided in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) that GBT and the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, waivers from the applicable binding agreement or privilege, as the case may be.  Each Loan Party acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, after exercising its rights of inspection, may prepare and distribute to the Lenders certain reports pertaining to the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries and their respective assets for internal use by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(b)If, after the exercise of the Cure Right and the recalculations pursuant to clause (a) above, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Covenant during such Test Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 that had occurred shall be deemed cured; provided that (i) the Cure Right may be exercised on no more than five (5) occasions, (ii) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Cure Right is exercised, (iii) with respect to any exercise of the Cure Right, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant (such amount, the “Necessary Cure Amount”) (provided that if the Cure Right is exercised prior to the date financial statements are required to be delivered for such fiscal quarter then the Cure Amount shall be equal to the amount reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith that is required for purposes of complying with the Financial Covenant for such fiscal quarter (such amount, the “Expected Cure Amount”), (iv) subject to clause (c) below, all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Applicable Rate, any baskets, with respect to the covenants contained in the Loan Documents or the usage of the Total Available Amount and (v) the net cash proceeds from the Cure Right may not reduce the amount of Consolidated Total Debt (including, without limitation, by means of “cash netting”) for purposes of calculating compliance with the Financial Covenant for the fiscal quarter for which such Cure Right is deemed applied; provided the amount of Consolidated Total Debt may be reduced for purposes (i) other than determining compliance with the Financial Covenant and (ii) of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant in subsequent fiscal quarters, in each case, to the extent the Cure Right is applied to prepay Indebtedness.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Expected Cure Amount is (i) greater than the Necessary Cure Amount, then such difference may be used for the purposes of determining any baskets (other than any previously contributed Cure Amounts), with respect to the covenants contained in the Loan Documents, the Total Available Amount and (ii) less than the Necessary Cure Amount, then not later than the applicable Cure Deadline, GBT must receive a direct or indirect equity investment in cash in the form of common Equity Interests (or other Qualified Equity Interests reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), in any such case, the proceeds of which are contributed to the Borrower, which cash proceeds received by Borrower shall be equal to the shortfall between such Expected Cure Amount and such Necessary Cure Amount.

(a)Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b)Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article IX and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Secured Parties (in its capacities as a Lender, L/C Issuer (if applicable), Swing Line Loans and a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest, charge or other Lien created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Secured Party for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, subagents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 9.02.Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through Affiliates, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel, both internal and external, and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

179


Section 9.03.Liability of Agents.  No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party, any Affiliate thereof or any Permitted Holder.

Section 9.04.Reliance by Agents.

(a)Each 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, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it 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 such Agent. Each 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 Agents shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to an Agent under the Loan Documents or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to each Agent in this Section 9.04  or in any of the Collateral Documents.  Each 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.

(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

180


Administrative Agent will 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 by Agents.  Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party, any Affiliate thereof  or any Permitted Holder, 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 each 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 any Agent herein, such 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, any of their respective Affiliates or any Permitted Holder of which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

Section 9.07.Indemnification of Agents.  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 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 resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by the final 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, willful misconduct or bad faith 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 or any other Loan Party’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, if any. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive

181


termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.08.Agents in their Individual Capacities.  MSSF 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, their respective Affiliates and each Permitted Holder as though MSSF were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, MSSF or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party, any Affiliate thereof or any Permitted Holder (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party, such Affiliate thereof or such Permitted Holder) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, MSSF 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 MSSF in its individual capacity.

Section 9.09.Successor Agents.  The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may be removed as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, at the reasonable request of the Borrower and the Required Lenders.  If the Administrative Agent resigns or is removed under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which appointment of a successor agent shall require the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of a Specified Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation (but not removal) of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Borrower, a successor agent 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 Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent (and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent and/or supplemental agent, as described in Section 9.01(c)), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, 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 under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring (but not removed) Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the Agreed Security Principles is satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  Each party to the Collateral Documents governed by Dutch law shall provide any assistance and enter into any documents as reasonably requested by the successor Collateral Agent to ensure that the successor Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and obligations under the Collateral Documents governed by Dutch law as it would have had if such successor had been an

182


original party thereto.

Section 9.10.Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders 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 2.09 and Section 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 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 Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09 and Section 10.04.

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.Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  The Lenders and the Secured Parties irrevocably agree that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document may be released or subordinated in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.20 or any Collateral Document, without further written consent or authorization from any Lender or Secured Party.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 10.01) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11 and Section 10.20.

Each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Guaranty and the Collateral Documents, acknowledges the terms of the Security Trust Deed and, in particular, the terms, basis and limitation on which the Collateral Agent holds the Transaction Security (as defined therein) and specifically agrees and accepts (i) such terms, basis and limitation; (ii) that the Collateral Agent shall, as trustee, have only those duties, obligations and responsibilities expressly specified in the Security Trust Deed; (iii) the limitation and exclusion of the Collateral Agent’s liability as set out therein; and (iv) all other provisions of the Security Trust Deed as if it were a party thereto.

183


Section 9.12.Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers.  None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “joint lead arranger” or “joint bookrunner” 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 or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

Section 9.13.Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Guarantee or any Collateral Document, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guarantee or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.13 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

Section 9.14.Intercreditor Agreements.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are each hereby authorized to enter into any Customary Intercreditor Agreement to the extent contemplated by the terms hereof, and the Lenders and Secured Parties acknowledge that such Customary Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon them.  Each Lender and each Secured Party (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of the Customary Intercreditor Agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Customary Intercreditor Agreement and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent to enter into the Customary Intercreditor Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof.  In addition, each Lender and each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent to enter into (i) any amendments to any Customary Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) any other intercreditor arrangements, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) to the extent required to give effect to the establishment of intercreditor rights and privileges as contemplated and required by Section 7.01 of this Agreement, in each case, and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender. Each Lender hereby agrees that no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of any action taken by such Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14 or in accordance with the terms of any Customary Intercreditor Agreement.  The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Secured Parties to extend credit to the Borrower and such Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of any Customary Intercreditor Agreement.

(c)Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other electronic communication. The effectiveness of any such

190


documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(d)Reliance by Agents and Lenders.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(e)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.

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.

Section 10.04.Attorney Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arrangers for all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the syndication of the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans and the preparation, execution and delivery, administration, amendment, modification, waiver and/or enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), limited in the case of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Lead Arrangers, each L/C Issuer and the Lenders to all Attorney Costs of one primary counsel, and, if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and/or special and/or regulatory counsel for all such parties (taken as a whole) and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the conflicted Person informs the Borrower of such conflict, one additional primary counsel (and, if necessary, an additional local, special and/or regulatory counsel) for such affected Persons and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Lead Arrangers, each L/C Issuer and the Lenders 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 (limited in the case of legal counsel to such Secured Parties to all Attorney Costs of one primary counsel and, if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and/or special and/or regulatory counsel for all such parties (taken as a whole) and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the conflicted Person informs the Borrower of such conflict, one additional primary counsel (and if, necessary, an additional local, special and/or regulatory counsel) for

191


such affected Persons). Subject to the limitations above, 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 or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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.

Section 10.05.Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Lead Arranger, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each Swing Line Lender (without duplication) and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, and other representatives (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) and hold them harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of any kind or nature and reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses ((which, in the case of Attorney Costs, shall be limited to (x) one primary counsel for all Indemnitees, (y) if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and/or special and/or regulatory counsel for all Indemnitees and (z) solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter, one additional primary counsel (and if, necessary, an additional local, special and/or regulatory counsel) for such affected Indemnitees) (collectively, the “Losses”) of any such Indemnitee arising out of or relating to any claim or any litigation or other proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation of the foregoing) (regardless of whether such Indemnitees is a party thereto and whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, any Affiliate of the Borrower, any Permitted Holder, creditors or any other third person) that relates to the Transactions, including the financing contemplated hereby and the issuance, amendment, renewal, extension, cancellation or termination of any Letter of Credit (including without limitation any payment, demand for payment or nonpayment under a Letter of Credit) (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) and any Losses that relate to any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by GBT, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other liability arising under Environmental Law, in each case arising out of the properties, activities or operations of GBT, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that no Indemnitee will be indemnified for any Losses or related expenses to the extent it has resulted from (w) the gross negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or any of the officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents or other representatives of any of the foregoing (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (x) a material breach of the obligations under the Loan Documents of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Affiliates or any of the officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents or other representatives of any of the foregoing (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (y) any claim, litigation, investigation or other proceeding (other than a claim, litigation, investigation or other proceeding against any Agent or any Lead Arranger or any Person acting in a similar capacity, in each case, acting pursuant to the Loan Documents or in its capacity as such or of any of its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives and the successors of each of the foregoing) solely between or among Indemnities that does not arise from any act or omission by the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any Permitted Holder; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuers and the Lead Arrangers to the extent fulfilling their respective roles as an agent or arranger under the Facilities and in their capacities as such, shall remain indemnified in respect of such claim, litigation, investigation or other proceeding, to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in clauses (w), (x) or (y) of the immediately preceding proviso apply to such person at such time. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors,

192


employees, agents, advisors or other representatives (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).  No Indemnitee and no Loan Party shall have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided that nothing in this sentence shall limit the indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties set forth herein or in any other Loan Document either in respect of damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party or in respect of out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred as a result of such claim, litigation, investigation or other proceeding.  All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after demand therefor has been made in good faith (together with reasonably detailed backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05.  The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, Swing Line Lender or any L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, etc., with respect to a non-Tax claim.

Section 10.06.Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any 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 such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any 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 Overnight Rate.

Section 10.07.Successors and Assigns.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that, except as otherwise provided herein (including without limitation as permitted under Section 7.04 and Section 7.10), neither GBT nor the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or other transfer by GBT or the Borrower of any of its rights or obligations hereunder without such consent shall be null and void) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (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(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i)  Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this

193


Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A)the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (w) an assignment of any funded Term Loan to any other Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund, (x) an assignment of any Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to any Affiliate of a Lender or a Revolving Credit Lender, (y) any Assignee, if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (z) an assignment of any funded Term Loan, if the Borrower has not responded to a written notice requesting consent within ten Business Days of receipt thereof;

(B)the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C)each L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender at the time of such assignment; provided that no consent of such L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lender shall be required for any assignment of a Term Loan or any assignment to an Agent or an Affiliate of an Agent;

(ii)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility) or $1,000,000 (in the case of a Term Loan) unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption;

(C)the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any documentation required by Section 3.01(f); and

(D)the Assignee shall not be an Ineligible Institution (provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability in respect of any mistaken assignment to an Ineligible Institution) and shall represent that it is not an Ineligible Institution or an Affiliate of an Ineligible Institution.  The Borrower shall provide the list of Disqualified Lenders to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to provide the list of Disqualified Lenders to each Lender or prospective assignee contemplating an assignment that requests the same.

194


This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

(c)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d) and receipt by the Administrative Agent from the parties to each assignment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which fee may be waived only by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note (if any), the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e). For greater certainty, any assignment by a Lender pursuant to this Section 10.07 shall not in any way constitute or be deemed to constitute a novation, discharge, recession, extinguishment or substitution of the existing Indebtedness and any Indebtedness so assigned shall continue to be the same obligation and not a new obligation.

(d)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at 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 related stated interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts) and L/C Borrowings owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender with respect to its own Loans and/or Commitments only, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)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 an Ineligible Institution; provided that for the purposes of this provision, Disqualified Lenders shall only be deemed to be Disqualified Lenders if a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Borrower) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 10.01(a), (b), (c), (e) or (f) that directly and adversely affects such

195


Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender), subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections (including Sections 3.01(e), (f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) and Sections 3.06 and 3.07, to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Any Lender that sells participations shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and the address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related stated interest amounts) of each Participant’s participation interest in the Commitments and/or Loans (or other rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document), 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 interest as the owner thereof for all purposes notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Lender, by maintaining the Participant Register, undertakes any duty, responsibility or obligation to the Borrower (including, without limitation, that in no event shall any such Lender be a fiduciary of the Borrower for any purpose).

(f)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the Participant became a Participant.

(g)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan 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) an SPC shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05, subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections (including Sections 3.01(e), (f) and (g)) and Sections 3.06 and 3.07, to the same extent as if such SPC were a Lender, but neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05) except to the extent any entitlement to greater amounts results from a Change in Law after the grant to the SPC occurred, (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,

196


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 Guarantees or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i)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.

(j)(i)  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party or any Permitted Holder Affiliated Lender in accordance with Section 10.07(b); provided that:

(A)with respect to any assignment to a Purchasing Borrower Party, no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom;

(B)for the avoidance of doubt, Lenders shall not be permitted to assign Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party or any  Permitted Holder Affiliated Lender;

(C)any Term Loans assigned to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder;

(D)no Purchasing Borrower Party may use the proceeds from Revolving Credit Loans to purchase any Term Loans;

(E)no Term Loan may be assigned to any Non-Debt Fund Affiliates pursuant to this Section 10.07(j), if after giving effect to such assignment, Non-Debt Fund Affiliates in the aggregate would own in excess of 25% of the Term Loans of any Class then outstanding (determined as of the time of such purchase) or if the number of Non-Debt Fund Affiliates that hold Loans would exceed the lesser of (x) five (5) Non-Debt Fund Affiliates and (y) 49% of the aggregate number of Lenders at such time; and

(F)any purchases or assignments of Loans by a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall (i) be conducted pursuant to procedures to be established by the

197


Administrative Agent that are consistent with this Section 10.07(j)(i) and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and (ii) require that such Person clearly identify itself as a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate in any assignment and assumption agreement executed in connection with such purchases or assignments.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Non-Debt Fund Affiliates shall have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited, (B) receive any information or material prepared by Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Loan Party or its representatives or (C) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Loan Documents.

(iii)Any Lender may assign all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (but not any Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments) held by it to an Affiliated Debt Fund in accordance with Section 10.07(b).

(k)Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Class vote required by this Agreement have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, (A) all Term Loans held by any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Non-Debt Fund Affiliates voting on such matter provided that (i) the commitments of any Permitted Holder Affiliated Lender shall not be increased, (ii) the due dates for payments of interest and scheduled amortization (including at maturity) owed to any Permitted Holder Affiliated Lenders will not be extended, (iii) the amounts owing to any Permitted Holder Affiliated Lender will not be reduced and (iv) any amendment that results in a disproportionate and adverse effect on a Permitted Holder Controlled Affiliated Lender, in relation to all non-affiliated Lenders’ Term Loans, in each instance in (i) through (iv), without the consent of such Permitted Holder Affiliated Lender and (B) the aggregate amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Debt Funds will be excluded to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required to constitute “Required Lenders” (any such excess amount shall be deemed to be not outstanding on a pro rata basis among all Affiliated Debt Funds);

(m)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer shall have identified, in consultation with the Borrower, a successor L/C Issuer willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer.  In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer.  If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).

Section 10.08.Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders (each, a “Receiving Party”) agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may, subject to any applicable restriction required in respect of the same under the City Code or by the Panel in connection with the Target Acquisition, be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (collectively, the “Related Agents”) who need to know such Information in connection with the applicable Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made (i) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and be instructed to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.08, including, without limitation, the provisions on confidentiality of such Information set forth herein, (ii) shall not disclose the Information to any other Person in violation of this Section 10.08 and (iii) the applicable Receiving Party shall be responsible for any noncompliance with this Section 10.08 by it or its Related Agents), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority, including the Federal Reserve Bank, any central banking authority and any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (provided that, except with respect to any audit or examination by bank accountants or by any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority over such Receiving Party of its Related Agents, each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower of such disclosure and, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, to use commercially reasonable efforts to request confidential treatment of such information, at the expense of the Borrower), (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) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations under this Agreement; provided that such disclosure pursuant to this clause (f) shall be subject to either (x) execution of a confidentiality agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower) or (y) appropriate confirmations being given electronically by the Person to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (it being agreed that any arrangement in accordance with the standard syndication processes of the Administrative Agent or customary market standards for dissemination of such type of information that require “click through” or other affirmative actions on the part of the recipient to access such information is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), (g) with the consent of GBT, (h) on a confidential basis to (1) any rating agency in connection with rating any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein, (2) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to

199


the credit facilities provided for herein, (3) any credit insurance provider in connection with credit insurance as to the Borrower and its obligations hereunder or (4) market data collectors for league table credit, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents or any Lender in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments (limited to the existence of this Agreement, publicly available information about this Agreement and customary information required for league table credit purposes or such services) or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 or (ii) becomes available to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.  With respect to any disclosure pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 10.08, the applicable Receiving Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) promptly provide written notice to the Borrower (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) so that the Borrower may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or waive compliance with the applicable provisions of this Section 10.08, and (B) cooperate with the Borrower in pursuing any reasonable measures that Borrower determines to pursue, all at the Borrower’s expense.  If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained by the Borrower or the Borrower fails to waive compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Related Agent. as applicable, may, without liability or breach hereunder, disclose only that portion of the Information it is legally compelled (in the opinion of its legal counsel) to disclose and, at  the expense of the Borrower, will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment is accorded the Information so disclosed.

For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of GBT or any Subsidiary relating to GBT or its business, other than any such information that is available to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by GBT or such Subsidiary and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.08 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised not less than the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 10.09.Setoff.    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each L/C Issuer 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 then due and owing by, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, 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 then due and owing to such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.04 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations then due and owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give such

200


notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount set off from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor.

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 telecopier or other electronic means of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic means be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or such other electronic means.

Section 10.11.Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

Section 10.12.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 each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

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 SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b)ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT 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 THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE

Section 10.17.Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.

If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

Section 10.18.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 or the Secured Hedge Agreements or the Cash Management Agreements (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.

Section 10.20.Release of Collateral and Guarantee; Subordination of Liens.

(a)The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, as set forth in clause (b) below, (ii) upon the Disposition of such Collateral to any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such Disposition is permitted hereunder (and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party by a Person that is not a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 10.01), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee (in accordance with the second succeeding sentence and Section 4.13 of the Guarantee), (vi) as required by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to effect any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents and (vii) to the extent such Collateral otherwise becomes an Excluded Asset.  Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.  Additionally, the Lenders and other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that, upon the written request of the Borrower or relevant Guarantor, a Guarantor (other than the Borrower, GBT or any Intermediate Holding Company) shall be released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in such Guarantor ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, or otherwise becoming an Immaterial Subsidiary (to the extent no longer required to be a Guarantor in accordance with the Agreed Security Principles and not joined as a Guarantor in connection with the Guarantor Coverage Ratio), in each case, solely to the extent such Guarantor ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise becoming an Immaterial Subsidiary is as a result of a transaction or series of related transactions not

203


prohibited by this Agreement.  The Lenders and other Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent, authorization or joinder of any Lender.  Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be repeated solely with respect to such Collateral or Guarantor.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than (i) Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements, (ii) Cash Management Obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreements and (iii) contingent indemnification obligations and other contingent obligations) have been paid in full in cash, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding that is not Cash Collateralized or back-stopped in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements, (ii) Cash Management Obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreements and (iii) contingent indemnification obligations and other contingent obligations.  Any such release of Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, at the direction of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may, in exercising remedies, take any and all necessary and appropriate action to effectuate a credit bid of all Loans (or any lesser amount thereof) for the Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s assets in a bankruptcy, foreclosure or other similar proceeding, forbear from exercising remedies upon an Event of Default, or in a bankruptcy proceeding, enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of all Lenders.

Section 10.21.No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each of GBT and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ and the Permitted Holders’ understanding, that (i) the facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower, its Affiliates and the Permitted Holders, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders, on the other hand, and each of GBT and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, any Permitted Holder, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person, (iii) none of the Agents, the Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any Permitted Holder with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any Agent or Lender has

204


advised or is currently advising the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any Permitted Holder on other matters) and none of the Agents, the Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower, any of its Affiliates  or any Permitted Holder with respect to the financing transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, (iv) the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Borrower, its Affiliates and/or the Permitted Holders, and none of the Agents, the Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship and (v) the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and GBT and the Borrower have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. Each of GBT and the Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Agents, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty under applicable law relating to agency and fiduciary obligations.

Section 10.22.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA 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 EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(iii)

the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

205

The initial Guarantors shall be GBT, GBT Euro Travel Holdings B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands (“GBT Euro”), GBT US III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GBT US Parent”), GBT Travel Services UK Limited, a limited liability company incorporated in England and Wales with company registration number 08774160 (“GBT UK Parent”), Global Business Travel Holdings Limited, a limited liability company incorporated in England and Wales with company registration number 11183041 (“GBT Target Holdings”), and, other than in the case of Obligations incurred directly by it, the Borrower (GBT, GBT Euro, GBT US Parent, GBT UK Parent, GBT Target Holdings and the Borrower, collectively, the “Initial Guarantors” or the “Original Obligors” and each, an “Initial Guarantor” or an “Original Obligor”; the Original Obligors together with any Additional Obligor (defined below) and any other Person that joins the Guaranty as a Guarantor from time to time after the Closing Date and/or grants any Liens on its assets in favor of the Collateral Agent to secure all or any portion of the Obligations, the “Obligors” and each, an “Obligor”). As of the Closing Date, guarantees will be provided (subject to the Agreed Security Principles set forth below) by each of the Initial Guarantors.

(b)

Subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Collateral Documents listed in Schedule 1.01B to the Credit Agreement under the heading “Collateral Documents” shall be granted by the Original Obligors on the Closing Date.

(c)

Subject to the Agreed Security Principles, guarantees and share charges or pledges (as applicable) over Equity Interests (including the Equity Interests of the Target) and other asset security of the same types entered into by the Original Obligors shall be granted by each other Wholly-Owned Material Subsidiary of GBT that is organized, formed or

Sched. 1.01A-1


incorporated in the United States (or any state thereof or the District of Columbia), England and Wales, or The Netherlands (collectively, the “Initial Subject Jurisdictions” and together with the Additional Subject Jurisdictions (as defined in Section 1(h)(iii) below) (if any), the “Subject Jurisdictions”) (x) as promptly as practicable (but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date or such longer date agreed by the Administrative Agent), (y) in the case of the Target and/or any other Subsidiary of the Target required to become an Obligor that is organized in an Additional Subject Jurisdiction (as defined below), as promptly as practicable (but in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date or such longer date agreed by the Administrative Agent) or (z) in the case of the Target and/or any other Subsidiary of the Target required to become an Obligor, as promptly as practicable within the timeframe referred to in clause (x) above or such longer period agreed to by the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably) (the foregoing periods, the “Initial Joinder Period”).  To the extent not subject to a Collateral Document pursuant to Section 1(b) above, any Person that becomes a Guarantor during the Initial Joinder Period shall also have its Equity Interests pledged in accordance with the Agreed Security Principles pursuant to a Collateral Document entered into during the applicable Initial Joinder Period.

Any Person that becomes a Wholly-Owned Material Subsidiary of GBT that is organized, formed or incorporated in one of the Initial Subject Jurisdictions after the applicable Initial Joinder Period shall provide and grant any required Security promptly, but in any event, no later than thirty (30) days (or such longer period agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (if such Material Subsidiary is organized, formed or incorporated in an Initial Subject Jurisdiction).

(d)

The Agreed Security Principles embody recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining legally valid, binding and enforceable guarantees and Security from the Obligors. In determining whether any guarantee shall be given or security shall be created and/or perfected, the following matters will be taken into account:

(i)

general statutory limitations, financial assistance, fiduciary duties, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalisation” rules, “earnings stripping”, “controlled foreign corporation” rules, capital maintenance rules and analogous principles may restrict a member of the Group from providing a guarantee or Security or may require that any guarantee be limited to a certain amount. To the extent that general statutory limitations, financial assistance, fiduciary duties, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalisation” rules, “earnings stripping”, “controlled foreign corporation” rules, capital maintenance rules and analogous principles referred to above require that the guarantee or Security is limited by an amount or otherwise in order to make such guarantee or Security legal, valid, binding or enforceable or to avoid that Obligor breaching any applicable law or otherwise in order to avoid personal liability of the officers of any Obligor, the limit shall be no more than the minimum limit required by those rules or principles. To the extent the minimum limit can be reduced by actions or omissions on the part of any member of the Group, each Obligor shall, and GBT will procure that each relevant member of the Group shall, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions or not to take actions (as appropriate) in order to reduce the minimum limit required by those rules or regulations (and, in this respect, shall have regard to any and all representations made by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) (and without limiting the above, if

Sched. 1.01A-2


any Subsidiary of GBT incorporated in England and Wales (including, without limitation, the Target) would be required to grant guarantees and/or security pursuant to these Agreed Security Principles but for the fact that so doing would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 and 679 of the Companies Act 2006 (UK), the relevant Subsidiary (or any holding company thereof) shall, and GBT shall procure that the relevant Subsidiary (or any holding company thereof) shall, promptly re-register as a private limited company so as to allow the guarantees and/or security to be granted);

(ii)

the Security to be provided will take into account (A) the cost (including adverse effects on interest deductibility, taxes (subject to Section 7.14 of the Credit Agreement), stamp duty, registration fees and notarial costs) to the Group of providing Security so as to ensure that it is not excessive in view of the benefit accruing to the Secured Parties, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and (B) the impact on the operations and business of the relevant Obligor or member of the Group, so as to ensure that it does not have a significant adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Obligor or other member of the Group to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents prior to an Event of Default (or, to the extent expressly referenced herein, a Notified Event of Default);

(iii)

each Obligor will use, and GBT must procure that relevant members of the Group will use, commercially reasonable efforts (but excluding (other than after the occurrence of a Notified Event of Default and for so long as it is continuing) seeking consents or authorizations from Persons other than (x) from members of the Group or any other controlled Affiliate of GBT, their respective board of directors (or equivalent) and the holders of their respective voting Equity Interests, as applicable, or (y) where expressly required to do so under these Agreed Security Principles) to avoid or mitigate the constraints on the provision of any guarantee or Security that would otherwise have to be provided under these Agreed Security Principles and, in this respect, shall have regard to any reasonable representations by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent;

(iv)

save in respect of Security over any Equity Interests in any Wholly-Owned Material Subsidiary formed or incorporated in the Subject Jurisdictions, any assets subject to third party arrangements which are permitted under the Credit Agreement and which prevent those assets from being secured in favor of the Collateral Agent will be excluded from any relevant Collateral Document; provided that, if the relevant asset is material to the Group, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, then the relevant Obligor will use and GBT will procure that the relevant members of the Group will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such third party consent to the grant of such Security;

(v)

registration of any Security created under any Collateral Document and other legal formalities and perfection steps, if required under applicable law or regulation or where customary or consistent with market practice (and where requirements in respect of legal formalities and perfection steps for particular classes of assets are specified in these Agreed Security Principles, such requirements shall be considered to be customary or consistent with market practice), will be completed by each Obligor as soon as reasonably practicable in line with applicable market

Sched. 1.01A-3


practice after that Security is granted and, in any event, within the time periods specified in that Collateral Document or within the time periods specified by applicable law or regulation (to the extent that if registration is made after the time period specified by applicable law or regulation, the Security will not be perfected or enforceable), in order to ensure due perfection and enforceability of the Guarantees and/or the Security created or intended to be created by the relevant Collateral Document;

(vi)

to the extent required by the Credit Agreement, the Obligors shall be responsible for the payment of duly documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by any Secured Party (including such legal expenses, disbursements, registration costs and all taxes (other than income taxes, subject to Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement), duties and fees (notarial or otherwise) required to be paid by the Obligors pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement) in respect of the creation, perfection, maintenance and enforcement of any Guarantees and Security;

(vii)

it is acknowledged that in certain jurisdictions it may be impossible or impracticable to create Security over certain categories of assets in which event Security will not be taken over such assets; and

(viii)

without prejudice to the provisions of Section 1(d)(i) above, members of the Group will not be required to give Guarantees or enter into Collateral Documents if (or to the extent and only for so long as) it (A) is not within the legal capacity of the relevant members of the Group, (B) would conflict with the fiduciary duties or other applicable legal duties of the directors (or equivalent) of the relevant members of the Group, (C) would contravene any applicable legal prohibition, restriction in a contract with an independent third party (not created in contemplation of avoiding the requirements of the Loan Documents) or regulatory condition or (D) result in a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer or director (or equivalent) of any relevant member of the Group.

(e)

To the extent possible, any Collateral Document entered into by (or over the Equity Interests in) an Obligor (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Original Obligors) incorporated or organized under the laws of a jurisdiction in which any Original Obligor is incorporated or organized shall be consistent with and follow the same approach as that adopted in relation to the corresponding Collateral Document for the Original Obligors specified in Section 1(b)(i)-(ix) above.

(f)

Each of Section 2 (Guarantors and Security) and Sections 4 (Bank Accounts) to 12 (General Limitations) (inclusive) of these Agreed Security Principles shall be subject to Sections 1(a), (b), (c) and (e) above and to Section 3 below.

(g)

For the purpose of these Agreed Security Principles, any reference to an Obligor using “commercially reasonable efforts”, “reasonable efforts”, “all reasonable endeavours” or “reasonable endeavours” shall be qualified such that the relevant Obligor will not be required to incur expenditures for the purpose of complying with the specified obligation(s) that are commercially unreasonable (it being understood that any such requirements and decision as to what is commercially reasonable or unreasonable must take into account customary market practice in such jurisdiction, the likelihood of success in the context of the expense to obtain such consent or Security, as well as the fiduciary duties and similar obligations of such Obligor).

Sched. 1.01A-4


(h)

For the purpose of these Agreed Security Principles, any reference to an “Asset Security Obligor” means the following and each Asset  Security Obligor (other than the Borrower in the case of Obligations incurred directly by it) shall also be a Guarantor:

(i)

the Borrower or any Initial Guarantor;

(ii)

any Subsidiary identified on Schedule 1.01E to the Credit Agreement which becomes or is required, in accordance with these Agreed Security Principles, to become a Guarantor during the Initial Joinder Period; and

(iii)

any other Material Subsidiary which is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of GBT incorporated, organized or formed in or under in or under the laws of one of the Initial Subject Jurisdictions which becomes or is required, in accordance with these Agreed Security Principles, to become a Guarantor during the Initial Joinder Period or from time to time thereafter pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 1(c) (collectively with the Subsidiaries referred to in Section 1(h)(ii) above, the “Additional Obligors” and each individually, an “Additional Obligor”).  It being understood and agreed that if any Subsidiary is not incorporated, organized or formed in one of the Initial Subject Jurisdictions (any such additional jurisdictions, an “Additional Subject Jurisdiction”), on and after the date such Person becomes an Obligor, references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the Subject Jurisdictions shall mean and be a reference to such Additional Subject Jurisdiction.

(i)

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Agreed Security Principles other than Section 1(c) above (but subject to Section 7.14 of the Credit Agreement):

(i)

for each member of the Target Group or any other group acquired from time to time pursuant to an acquisition, any requirement that any such Person that is a Subsidiary organized in a Subject Jurisdiction that is not a U.S. Person (other than with respect to any Person identified on Schedule 1.01E to the Credit Agreement) grant any Guarantees and/or security (including, without limitation, the time period requirements for the grant of any such Guarantees and/or Security as specified herein) shall be subject to either:

(A)

the following conditions shall be satisfied as soon as reasonably practicable following the consummation of such acquisition:

(1)

the Target (or any other publicly listed company acquired from time to time) having first been re-registered as a private limited company (or other applicable non-public company) following completion of the Target Acquisition (or as the context may require such other acquisition);

(2)

the Target, GBT Target Holdings, the Borrower and purchaser of any other group acquired from time to time having first made an entity classification election to be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (such election, a “CTB Election”);

(3)

each direct and indirect owner of Target, GBT Target Holdings, the Borrower and a purchaser of any other group acquired from

Sched. 1.01A-5


time to time that is directly or indirectly owned by GBT and is not a U.S. Person having first made a CTB Election; and

(4)

if such Subsidiary of Target or other group acquired from time to time is not a U.S. Person, such Subsidiary having first made a CTB Election; provided that, if such Subsidiary does not make a CTB Election, the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary may be pledged to secure the Obligations so long as (1) no more than 65% of such Subsidiary’s voting Equity Interests are pledged and (2) all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary are held by a member or members of the Target Group (or other acquired group) that are DREs or partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or

(B)

if the conditions of Section (1)(i)(i)(A) above are not satisfied within the applicable joinder period described in Section 1(c), then either (with respect to members of the Target Group or other acquired group):

(1)

if each of GBT Target Holdings and the Borrower has made a CTB Election, any grant of a Guarantee or Security by a member of the Target Group (or other acquired group) and pledge of Equity Interests in any such member shall be subject to Section 8(h) below; or

(2)

if GBT Target Holdings and the Borrower have not made a CTB Election, any grant of a Guarantee or Security by a member of the Target Group (or other acquired group) and pledge of Equity Interests in any such member shall not be subject to Section 8(h) below; and

(ii)

any obligation in respect of a member of the Target Group to undertake (or to procure that a member of the Target Group undertakes) any actions or other steps required in these Agreed Security Principles shall only apply following completion of the Target Acquisition.

(j)

In these Agreed Security Principles, a “Notified Event of Default” means an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of which the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders has served a notice on the Borrower under and in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

2.

Guarantors, Guarantees and Security

(a)

Each Guarantee will be an upstream, cross-stream and downstream Guarantee and each such Guarantee and any Security will be for all Obligations in accordance with, and subject to, the other requirements of these Agreed Security Principles in each relevant jurisdiction.

(b)

Each Obligor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to create and perfect Security over all of its assets of each category specified in these Agreed Security Principles as soon as reasonably practicable subject to, and in accordance with, these Agreed Security Principles.

(c)

If any Obligor does not own assets of a particular category specified in these Agreed Security Principles at the time it enters into Collateral Document(s) in respect of assets of

Sched. 1.01A-6


one or more other categories specified in these Agreed Security Principles, for the avoidance of doubt, it will not be required to enter into a Collateral Document solely to create Security over future assets of that particular category unless the same can be effected under a composite Collateral Document that also secures assets it owns at the time it enters into the Collateral Document. However, if such Obligor subsequently acquires any material asset or assets of that particular category and other existing Obligors organized, formed or incorporated in such jurisdiction were required to create Security over such class of assets or would have been so required if such assets had been owned at the time the relevant Collateral Document(s) was entered into, it will, as soon as reasonably practicable, create and perfect Security over that asset or those assets subject to, and in accordance with, these Agreed Security Principles.

(d)

Notwithstanding references to each Asset Security Obligor granting Security over the classes of assets referenced in Sections 4 (Bank Accounts), 5 (Insurance Policies), 6 (Intellectual Property), 7 (Book Debts) and 10 (General Charge) below, the obligations of an Additional Obligor which is an Asset Security Obligor to grant Security in any particular class of assets shall be limited as follows:

(i)

if an Additional Obligor which is an Asset Security Obligor is organized, formed or incorporated in one of the Subject Jurisdictions and if the Original Obligors that were Asset Security Obligors organized, formed or incorporated in that same Subject Jurisdiction were required to grant Security in such class of assets, each Additional Obligor which is an Asset Security Obligor in that same jurisdiction shall be required to grant Security in that class of assets unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders;

(ii)

where there is material incremental cost involved in creating Security over all assets owned by an Obligor of a particular category in a particular jurisdiction, regard shall be had to the principle stated in Section 1(d)(ii) above which shall apply and, where determined appropriate in light of the Agreed Security Principles, such Obligor’s grant of security over such category of assets may be limited to the material assets in that category; and

(iii)

if an Additional Obligor is of the type described in Section 1(h)(ii) or (iii) above, such Additional Obligor shall be required to grant security over those classes of assets required by the Administrative Agent after consultation with the Borrower, and taking into account these Agreed Security Principles,

in each case, in accordance with these Agreed Security Principles.

(e)

All Security shall be granted in favor of the Collateral Agent for itself and on behalf of and, if customary in the relevant jurisdiction, in favor of the Secured Parties. ‘Parallel debt’ and/or joint creditorship and/or security agency provisions will be used where necessary (and included in the Credit Agreement and/or any applicable intercreditor agreement entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement and not the individual Collateral Documents unless required or advisable under local laws). There shall be no action required to be taken in relation to the Guarantees or Security when any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of its Commitment and/or Loan to a new Lender.

(f)

No Guarantee or Security given or granted by a member of the Group shall Guarantee or

Sched. 1.01A-7


secure any Excluded Swap Obligation of such member of the Group.

(g)

No Guarantees or Security will be required from or over, or over the assets of, (i) any joint venture or similar arrangement, any minority interest or any member of the Group (other than the Target) that is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary; provided that, except to the extent constituting an Excluded Asset, the Equity Interests owned or held by any Obligor in any of the foregoing shall be pledged to the Collateral Agent or (ii) any Subsidiary (other than an Original Obligor) where the providing of a Guarantee of any of the obligations or Security in the equity interests or any of the assets of such Subsidiary would require consent, approval, license or authorization from any governmental authority (including a supervisory board, works council (save for any works council having jurisdiction over a Dutch entity), regulator or regulatory board (or equivalent, or other external body)) unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received; provided, however, that (without prejudice to the foregoing) the Obligors will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (x) any works council consents and (y) such other consents where customary in similar financings of this type in that jurisdiction.

(h)

No Security will be granted by a U.S. Loan Party over (i) leasehold interests, (ii) fee owned real property, (iii) letter of credit rights (other than to the extent such rights can be perfected by filing a UCC-1) having an individual value less than US$5,000,000 or US$10,000,000 in aggregate for all U.S. Loan Parties (provided that absent a Notified Event of Default, no additional granting or perfection steps shall be required with respect to any letter of credit rights held by a U.S. Loan Party having an individual value of less than US$5,000,000) or (iv) commercial tort claims having an individual value less than US$5,000,000 or US$10,000,000 in aggregate for all U.S. Loan Parties (provided that absent a Notified Event of Default, no additional granting or perfection steps shall be required with respect to any commercial tort claims held by a U.S. Loan Party having an individual value of less than US$5,000,000). No security granted by a U.S. Loan Party in motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title shall be required to be perfected (other than to the extent such rights can be perfected by filing a UCC-1).

(i)

No member of the Group shall be required to provide any security or take any perfection step (other than delivery of share certificates and customary transfer powers in respect of an Obligor or any Material Subsidiaries) in respect of any Equity Interests held in any member of the Group incorporated outside a Subject Jurisdiction or any member of the Group which is not an Obligor or a Material Subsidiary, unless such security can be granted under a share pledge or charge or composite “all asset” Collateral Document under the laws of a Subject Jurisdiction; it being understood and agreed that absent a Notified Event of Default which is continuing, there shall be no requirement (and the Administrative Agent shall not request) that any local law perfection steps (or Collateral Documents) with respect to Equity Interests be taken in any jurisdiction other than a Subject Jurisdiction (other than the preparation and delivery of local law governed share certificates and customary local law stock powers (or equivalent transfer powers)).

3.

Terms of Collateral Documents

The following principles will be reflected in the terms of the Collateral Documents:

(a)

save as otherwise provided in these Agreed Security Principles, the Credit Agreement or any Collateral Document specified in Section 1(b) above, all of the Security to be created under each Collateral Document will be first ranking (subject only to Liens permitted under

Sched. 1.01A-8


the Loan Documents);

(b)

if and to the extent it is not possible to grant first ranking Security over any asset over which an Obligor is required to create Security in accordance with these Agreed Security Principles because of any prior Lien created in favor of any third party which is a Lien permitted under the Loan Documents not required to be junior to or pari passu with any such Security pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the relevant Obligor shall instead create Security over such asset in favor of the Collateral Agent that is senior to all other Liens (other than the prior Lien created in favor of a third party which is a Lien permitted under the Loan Documents not required to be junior to or pari passu with such Security pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and subject to any consents required to be obtained from the relevant third party prior to the granting of such Security, which consents the Obligor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain);

(c)

any Security created under a Collateral Document will not be enforceable unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(d)

where possible and customary under the relevant local law each Collateral Document will contain an irrevocable power of attorney, expressed to be given by way of security, allowing the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or their respective designees to perform on behalf of the Obligor providing or granting of the Security, its obligations under that Collateral Document; provided that, other than following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the relevant Obligor ten (10) days prior notice that such Obligor has failed to perform its obligations prior to the Collateral Agent performing the relevant obligation;

(e)

the Collateral Documents should not, other than after an Event of Default (or, to the extent expressly referenced herein, a Notified Event of Default), prevent transactions permitted by the Credit Agreement or impose new commercial obligations and, accordingly, any representation, warranty, undertaking or any other provisions which it is usual or customary to include in a Collateral Document will reflect (to the extent the subject matter of the representation, warranty, undertaking or provision (including those relating to costs and expenses, indemnities, tax gross up, distribution of proceeds and release of security) is the same as the corresponding representation, warranty, undertaking or provision in the Credit Agreement) the commercial position agreed in the corresponding provision in the Credit Agreement unless it is customary market practice in the relevant jurisdiction to include any further provisions (or to deviate from those contained in the Credit Agreement) in order to create or perfect the applicable security interest in assets subject to such Security;

(f)

information, such as lists of assets, if required by applicable law or market practice to be provided in order to create or perfect any Security under a Collateral Document will be specified in that Collateral Document and all such information shall be provided by the relevant Obligor at intervals no more frequent than annually (unless it is market practice to provide such information more frequently in order to perfect or protect the Security under that Collateral Document and, solely in the case of The Netherlands, the value of the additional assets that will become subject to the Security under that Collateral Document exceeds US$5,000,000 individually or US$10,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency or currencies); provided that the frequency of any such delivery of information shall be in line with the customary market practice in the applicable jurisdiction) or, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, following the Collateral Agent’s request;

Sched. 1.01A-9


(g)

a Disposition of Collateral shall be permitted in the circumstances specified in, and in accordance with, the Credit Agreement and any Collateral shall (at the expense of the Borrower and any other relevant Obligor) be released from the Collateral Agent’s Liens to which it is subject in the circumstances described in, and in accordance with, Section 10.20 of the Credit Agreement;

(h)

each Collateral Document will, where it would be possible and practical to do so, create Security over future assets of the same category and in the same jurisdiction as those over which Security is created under that Collateral Document and, accordingly, where an Obligor acquires assets (of the same category and in the same jurisdiction as those that are then subject to Security), it will, as soon as reasonably practicable, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to these Agreed Security Principles) to do or take such actions (in accordance with applicable market practice) as are necessary under the applicable Collateral Document to create and perfect the Security over such assets and otherwise to ensure that such assets are subject to substantially the same Security as that then existing under that Collateral Document over assets of the same category for other Obligors organized, formed or incorporated in that jurisdiction;

(i)

where an Obligor is required to create Security over assets (of the same category as those that are then subject to Security) in the circumstances referred to in Section 3(f) above and is required to deliver any supplemental pledge, charge, assignment, designation schedule or other assurance or any notice, order or direction under the relevant Collateral Document in respect of such assets in order to create and perfect the Security over those assets, such supplemental pledges, charges, assignments, designation schedules or other assurance or any notices, orders or directions shall be provided at intervals no more frequent than annually (unless it is market practice to provide such information more frequently in order to perfect or protect the Security under that Collateral Document and, solely in the case of The Netherlands, the value of the additional assets that will become subject to the Security under that Collateral Document exceeds US$5,000,000 individually or US$10,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency or currencies); provided that the frequency of any such delivery of information shall be in line with the customary market practice in the applicable jurisdiction) or so long as an Event of Default is continuing, upon the Collateral Agent’s request; and

(j)

in the event it is not possible or practical to create Security under or pursuant to a Collateral Document then in force over future assets of the same category and in the same jurisdiction as those over which Security is created under a Collateral Document in the manner described in Section 3(f) or 3(i) above, the relevant Obligor will, as soon as reasonably practicable (or within such other timeframe as is required by the then existing Collateral Document), create and perfect the Security over all such assets that it acquires that are of the same category and in the same jurisdiction as those which are then subject to the Collateral Agent’s Liens.

4.

Bank Accounts

(a)

Each Asset Security Obligor shall grant first ranking Security (subject to any lien referred to in Section 4(d) below, to the extent such lien constitutes a Lien permitted under the Loan Documents not required to be junior to or pari passu with any such Security pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement) over all of its current, deposit or other accounts with any bank or financial institution in which it has or will have an interest and (to the extent of its interest) all balances standing to the credit of or accrued or accruing on those accounts

Sched. 1.01A-10


from time to time other than:

(i)

any bank account notified by that Asset Security Obligor to the Administrative Agent which is used exclusively for the purpose of depositing and maintaining any cash collateral to the extent permitted under Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement; and

(ii)

any bank account held by any Asset Security Obligor which has been notified by the relevant Asset Security Obligor (or the Borrower on their behalf) to the Administrative Agent as an Excluded Bank Account (as defined below), except with respect to clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of “Excluded Bank Account” to the extent it is possible to grant Security over such accounts in the relevant jurisdiction pursuant to any other Collateral Document being entered into by such Asset Security Obligor without contravening any applicable legal or contractual restriction or prohibition (provided that such restriction or prohibition is not (i) created in contemplation of avoiding the requirements of the Loan Documents or (ii) or solely among the Loan Parties and their Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries); provided that no perfection steps will be taken in respect of such accounts for as long as they remain Excluded Bank Accounts; provided, further, that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the relevant Obligor shall promptly take all perfection steps reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent with respect to any Excluded Bank Account described in clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of “Excluded Bank Account” to the extent not contravening any applicable legal or contractual restriction or prohibition (provided that such restriction or prohibition is not (i) created in contemplation of avoiding the requirements of the Loan Documents or (ii) or solely among the Loan Parties and their Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries).

Excluded Bank Account” and “Excluded Bank Accounts” shall mean (a) any deposit accounts or securities accounts that are solely for payroll, escrow, trust (not holding funds owned by any Obligor), withholding or other fiduciary or employee wage or benefit-related accounts, (b) “zero-balance” accounts or accounts, in each case to the extent such zero balance accounts are swept on a daily basis to a deposit account that is not an Excluded Bank Account and (c) any deposit account or securities account in which the average monthly account balance does not exceed US$10,000,000 (or its equivalent) individually or when taken together with all other deposit or securities accounts of the Loan Parties held with an individual depositary or securities intermediary (each an “Institution”) does not exceed US$35,000,000 in the aggregate for all Loan Parties at such Institution.

It being understood that any deposit or securities accounts with an Institution which are either subject to control agreements or for which notices or other applicable perfection steps have previously been taken shall be excluded for the purpose of calculating such US$35,000,000 aggregate Excluded Bank Account threshold.

(b)

Each Asset Security Obligor shall be free to withdraw cash from any bank account that is subject to the Collateral Agent’s Liens to make payments in the ordinary course of business unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing for which notice has been given.

(c)

If required by applicable law or where it is consistent with market practice to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Liens, each Asset Security Obligor will promptly notify the relevant account bank of the Collateral Agent’s Liens created over each bank account and/or use

Sched. 1.01A-11


commercially reasonable efforts to promptly enter into a control agreement (however described) or otherwise obtain an acknowledgement of such notice in respect of bank accounts subject to the Collateral Agent’s Liens (and, with respect to obtaining such acknowledgment, only following a Notified Event of Default where consistent with market practice in the relevant jurisdiction), in each case, in accordance with the relevant Collateral Document; provided that no such control agreements or notices will be required in respect of any Excluded Bank Account for as long as it remains an Excluded Bank Account. If required by applicable law or where it is consistent with market practice to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Liens, each Asset Security Obligor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with market practice (for a period of up to a maximum of 150 days in respect of any bank accounts located in the United States or any of its States or territories and 30 Business Days in respect of bank accounts in any other jurisdiction) to obtain an acknowledgement from the relevant account bank in respect of a notice delivered to that account bank under a Collateral Document or an acceptance of the relevant account bank to each account control agreement entered into pursuant to a Collateral Document; provided that no such action will be required in respect of any Excluded Bank Account for as long as it remains an Excluded Bank Account; provided, further, that, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the relevant Obligor shall promptly take such commercially reasonable actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent with respect to any Excluded Bank Account of the types described in clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of “Excluded Bank Account” to the extent not contravening any applicable legal restriction or prohibition or restriction in a contract with a party other than a Loan Party or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of a Loan Party (provided that such restriction or prohibition is not created in contemplation of avoiding the requirements of the Loan Documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Excluded Bank Account of the types described in clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of “Excluded Bank Account” to the extent not contravening any applicable legal restriction or prohibition or restriction in a contract with an independent third party (not created in contemplation of avoiding the requirements of the Loan Documents) located in England and Wales held by any Obligor, the relevant Obligor shall promptly notify the relevant account bank of the Collateral Agent’s Liens created over each bank account following a Notified Event of Default.

(d)

Any Security over a bank account of an Asset Security Obligor shall be subject to any prior Security in favor of the relevant account bank which arises by operation of applicable law or the standard terms and conditions of that account bank in accordance with market practice. Each Asset Security Obligor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or mitigate any restriction or constraint on the provision of Security over bank accounts (other than any Excluded Bank Account) and, in this respect, shall have regard to any reasonable representations by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

(e)

If required under applicable law or where it is consistent with market practice Security over bank accounts will be registered.

Insurance Policies

(a)

Each Asset Security Obligor shall grant first ranking Security (subject to any Liens permitted under the Loan Documents not required to be junior to or pari passu with any such Security pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement) over all contracts and policies of insurance (including any renewal or replacement thereof) (other than third-party liability insurance contracts or policies) taken out by it or on its behalf or (to the extent of its interest) in which it has an interest (other than those interests relating to third party liabilities) and

Sched. 1.01A-12


all related proceeds, claims of any kind, returns of premium and other benefits, except to the extent that, subject to Sections 5(b) and 5(d), the amount that may be claimed under that contract or policy (pursuant to one or more claims from time to time) is less than US$5,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency or currencies) individually or, when taken together with all contracts and policies of insurance with the same insurance provider not required to be subject to Security pursuant to this Section 5(a) at any time, US$50,000,000 in the aggregate (or its equivalent) for all the Loan Parties.

(b)

If required by applicable law and where it is consistent with market practice to perfect such Security, notice of the Security will be delivered to the insurance provider promptly following the date such Security is granted (or within such other time period following the date of such grant of Security as is consistent with applicable market in the applicable jurisdiction) and each Asset Security Obligor shall use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice as soon as reasonably practicable after such notice has been delivered and, in any event, within any time period specified in the relevant Collateral Document; provided that, following a Notified Event of Default, the relevant Obligor shall promptly take such commercially reasonable actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent with respect to all contracts and policies of insurance (including any renewal or replacement thereof) (other than third-party liability insurance contracts or policies) taken out by it or on its behalf or (to the extent of its interest) in which it has an interest (other than those interests relating to third party liabilities) and all related proceeds, claims of any kind, returns of premium and other benefits, regardless of the amount that may be claimed thereunder.

(c)

An Asset Security Obligor will not be required to grant an assignment (or equivalent) of or other Security over any insurance contract or policy of the type referred to in Section 5(a) above if that insurance contract or policy contains a restriction or prohibition on assignment (or equivalent) of, or creation of Security over, that insurance contract or policy and the relevant Asset Security Obligor delivers to the Administrative Agent a notice providing details of such contract or policy and confirming that it would not be commercially practicable for that Obligor to obtain a waiver of such restriction or prohibition from the relevant insurer; provided that, to the extent possible, such contract or policy (or, if that is not possible, the proceeds, claims of any kind, returns of premium and other benefits in respect of that contract or policy) shall, to the extent reasonable practicable, be subject to such different type of Security in favor of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties as shall not be restricted or prohibited by such contract or policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, no U.S. Loan Party shall be required to grant an assignment of any insurance contract or policy pursuant to this Section 5(c) in favor of the Collateral Agent.

(d)

Each Asset Security Obligor which is required to provide Security over contracts and policies of insurance and to the extent it is consistent with market practice (and only following a Notified Event of Default where consistent with market practice outside of the United States and the Netherlands) and reasonably practicable in such Asset Security Obligors’ jurisdiction of incorporation, formation or organization, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure that loss payee or additional insured, as applicable, endorsement is made on each insurance contract or policy of the type referred to in Section 5(a) above (giving effect to the materiality thresholds referred to therein); provided that, following a Notified Event of Default, the relevant Obligor shall promptly take such commercially reasonable actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent with respect to all contracts and policies of insurance (including any renewal or replacement thereof)

Sched. 1.01A-13


(other than third-party liability insurance contracts or policies) taken out by it or on its behalf or (to the extent of its interest) in which it has an interest (other than those interests relating to third party liabilities) and all related proceeds, claims of any kind, returns of premium and other benefits, regardless of the amount that may be claimed thereunder. Each applicable Asset Security Obligor will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Collateral Agent evidence confirming that the Collateral Agent has been designated as a loss payee or additional insured, as applicable, in respect of each insurance contract or policy referred to in the preceding sentence.

(e)

After the occurrence of a Notified Event of Default and for so long as it is continuing, any and all insurance proceeds under or relating to any insurance contract or policy that is subject to the Collateral Agent’s Liens or in respect of which the Collateral Agent is a loss payee or additional insured, as applicable, shall be applied in or towards payment of the Secured Obligations and shall not be applied in reinstatement of the insured assets, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement or consented to by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

6.

Intellectual Property

(a)

All owned registered Material Intellectual Property of each Asset Security Obligor shall be subject to first ranking Security in favor of the Collateral Agent (subject to any Liens permitted under the Loan Documents not required to be junior to or pari passu with any such Security pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement); provided that, if such security can be granted pursuant to a composite “all assets” Collateral Document, all owned registered Intellectual Property of such Asset Security Obligor shall be subject to Security.

(b)

The Security created over any owned registered Material Intellectual Property of an Asset Security Obligor shall, subject to the other terms of these Agreed Security Principles, be registered, at the election of the Collateral Agent (acting reasonably and taking into account these Agreed Security Principles and to the extent customary in the relevant jurisdiction) or when required by the relevant Collateral Document, with the relevant registries in jurisdictions in which that owned Intellectual Property is registered; provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, no such registration shall be required other than in the relevant U.S. registries, as applicable.

(c)

In no case shall an Obligor be required, prior to the occurrence of a Notified Event of Default, to provide schedules or similar disclosures regarding its trade-secrets, know-how or expertise relating to its unregistered Material Intellectual Property.

7.

Book Debts

(a)

Save as provided in Section 7(b) below, each Asset Security Obligor shall grant first ranking Security (subject to any Liens permitted under the Loan Documents not required to be junior to or pari passu with any such Security pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement) over all of its book debts of any nature and all other rights to receive money, now or in the future due, owing or payable to it and the benefit or all related negotiable instruments, rights, security, Guarantees and indemnities of any kind (“book debts”). However, it shall be free to deal with its book debts (including, without limitation, factoring of such book debts to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement) in the ordinary course of its business (subject to any subordination or other limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement) unless a Notified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Sched. 1.01A-14


(b)

An Asset Security Obligor incorporated in The Netherlands will:

(i)

not be required to grant Security over any book debts comprising non-trade receivables (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any insurance receivables); and

(ii)

in relation to book debts comprising third party receivables that exceed US$250,000 (or its equivalent) in aggregate, supply the Collateral Agent with a list of such third party receivables and enter into a supplemental pledge to grant Security over such third party receivables, in each case on an annual basis.

(c)

No Asset Security Obligor will be required to give notice of any Security created over any of its book debts (unless otherwise required under one of the other headings in this Schedule) to the relevant debtors unless a Notified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d)

Each Asset Security Obligor which is required to grant such Security shall pay all moneys received or receivable by it from any source (including all proceeds of collection of book debts) into a bank account that is subject to the Collateral Agent’s Liens or, to the extent permitted under these Agreed Security Principles, into an Excluded Bank Account and, after an Event of Default has occurred, pending payment into such bank account shall hold (and, to the extent legally possible, shall hold on trust) the proceeds of collection on behalf of the Secured Parties.

8.

Equity Interests

(a)

Each Obligor shall grant first ranking Security over all of its Equity Interests owned or held in any other Loan Party or in any other Material Subsidiary incorporated, organized or formed in a Subject Jurisdiction, and if Security over Equity Interest can be granted pursuant to a composite “all assets” Collateral Document, all such other Equity Interests in its subsidiaries, in each case subject to these Agreement Security Principles and the terms of the applicable Collateral Document and in each case solely to the extent not constituting Excluded Assets.  The Loan Parties shall pledge, or cause to be pledged, the Equity Interests of each Subsidiary of GBT that is or becomes a Guarantor.

(b)

Subject to these Agreed Security Principles, each Obligor which is required to grant such Security in Equity Interests will also grant Security in favor of the Collateral Agent over its rights to receive dividends and other income or distributions relating to or rights or interests derived from the Equity Interests over which it is creating Security. Until the occurrence of a Notified Event of Default, all dividends or other income or distributions paid or payable in relation to any Equity Interests and other investments may be paid to the relevant Obligor (subject to any customary requirements to deliver non-cash possessory collateral to the Collateral Agent).

(c)

Each Collateral Document in respect of Security over Equity Interests in any Material Subsidiary (other than any U.S. Loan Party) will be governed by the laws of the country (or state thereof) in which that member of the Group is incorporated; provided it being understood and agreed that no perfection steps or Collateral Documents governed by Laws of a jurisdiction other than the Subject Jurisdictions shall be requested or required. Each Collateral Document in respect of Security over Equity Interests in any U.S. Loan Party will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Sched. 1.01A-15


(d)

Each Obligor granting Security over any Equity Interests will be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights in respect of those Equity Interests and the company or corporation in respect of whose Equity Interests Security has been created shall be permitted to pay to that Obligor dividends or other distributions in respect of those Equity Interests in accordance with the Loan Documents until a Notified Event of Default has occurred; provided that the relevant Obligor undertakes not to exercise any voting or other rights in a way which would reasonably be expected to materially prejudice the value of the relevant Equity Interests or (save as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement) the ability of the Secured Parties to realize the Security over such Equity Interests. At any time after a Notified Event of Default has occurred and for so long as such Notified Event of Default is continuing (i) no Obligor shall exercise any such voting rights unless otherwise instructed by the Collateral Agent and (ii) where possible under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction, all such voting rights shall, upon notice from the Collateral Agent, vest in the Collateral Agent.

(e)

If required under local law or customary or consistent with market practice for similar entity type, the relevant certificate(s) and transfer form(s) evidencing such Equity Interests (pre-stamped, where customary or consistent with market practice) executed in blank will be provided by each Obligor granting Security over any such Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent. If required by applicable law and customary or consistent with market practice (in the opinion of counsel to the Finance Parties (acting reasonably)), a statement of pledge will be executed and delivered by each Obligor granting Security over any Equity Interests to the relevant company or corporation with an original executed copy to the Collateral Agent (where applicable), the certificate evidencing such Equity Interests or shareholders’ register will be endorsed or written up showing the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties as owner of, or beneficiary of a pledge over, the relevant Equity Interests and the endorsed certificate evidencing such Equity Interest or a copy of the written up register will be provided to the Collateral Agent.

(f)Unless the restriction is required by applicable law or regulation, the Organizational Documents of the Person whose Equity Interests are the subject of any of the Collateral Agent’s Liens will be amended (to the extent necessary and customary in light of current market practice for similar credits involved in similar financing transactions in the applicable jurisdiction) to remove or, as applicable, disapply for so long as Security is granted over the relevant Equity Interests (i) any borrowing or guaranteeing limit, (ii) any restrictions on the provision of Guarantees, Security and/or other forms of financial assistance, (iii) any restrictions on the transfer or the registration of the transfer of the relevant Equity Interests pursuant to any enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s Liens granted over them and (iv) any Liens in favor of the company or corporation whose Equity Interests have been charged for sums unpaid by the shareholder. The foregoing shall not apply to require the removal or disapplication of any restriction that is intended to comply with applicable law or regulation governing private placement of securities generally, intended tax attributes (such as pass through status) of the company or corporation whose Equity Interests are to be secured, exceptions to registration as an investment company and other similar objectives of ensuring that the relevant company or corporation or Equity Interests thereof are given a particular tax or regulatory treatment (subject to Section 6.09 of the Credit Agreement).

(g)

In this Section 8 (Equity Interest), the terms “shares”, “shareholders” and “certificates” shall be construed so as to include any other Equity Interests, the holders thereof and evidence of such Equity Interests.

Sched. 1.01A-16

9.

Land and Buildings

No fixed security will be granted over real property; provided that this Section 9 shall not restrict any real property being secured under a floating charge (or other similar security) under a Collateral Document which charges all or substantially all of the assets of an Obligor on the basis that such security will not be required to be registered at the relevant Secretary of State (other than, in the case of a U.S. Loan Party, a filing of a UCC financing statement with the Secretary of State of the state in which such U.S. Loan Party is incorporated or formed) or Land Registry (or equivalent) under the law of that Collateral Document.

10.

General Business Charge

Each Asset Security Obligor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to create and perfect first ranking floating charges and general business charges over its assets and undertaking.

General Limitations

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in any other Loan Document, no member of the Group shall be required to cause a Subsidiary to become an Obligor or provide Security with respect to any of the assets of such Subsidiary if the incurrence of such Security, obligations or Guarantees would be in violation of any applicable guarantee limitations contained in the Credit Agreement (or in any joinder agreement to the Credit Agreement entered into from time to time by an Obligor) or any legal prohibition or regulatory condition applicable to such Subsidiary; provided that (a) such member of the Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts lawfully available to it to overcome any such legal prohibition or regulatory condition and (b) to the extent that such Subsidiary is prohibited from granting Liens on certain of its assets but not others, then such Subsidiary shall grant Liens on its assets to the fullest extent possible (taking into account any applicable prohibitions, exceptions and/or limitations otherwise set forth in these Agreed Security
