Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions, which may not prove to be accurate. These statements are not guarantees and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, and significant contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from any of these forward-looking statements.
 
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the following:
 

 •
the Company’s liquidity position raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern;
 

 •
risks associated with liquidity and capital markets, including the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows, together with cash on hand, to run its business, cover liquidity and capital requirements and resolve substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;
 

 •
the Company’s ability to meet financial covenants as required by its Credit Agreement, as amended;
 

 •
risks related to outstanding indebtedness and preferred stock, rising interest rates and potential increases in borrowing costs, compliance with associated covenants and provisions and the potential need to seek additional or alternative debt or capital financing in the future;
 

 •
risks related to the Company’s ability to access additional financing or alternative options when needed;
 

 •
the Company’s dependence upon governmental and third-party private payors for reimbursement and that decreases in reimbursement rates, renegotiation or termination of payor contracts, billing disputes with third-party payors or unfavorable changes in payor, state and service mix may adversely affect the Company’s financial results;
 

 •
federal and state governments’ continued efforts to contain growth in Medicaid expenditures, which could adversely affect the Company’s revenue and profitability;
 

 •
payments that the Company receives from Medicare and Medicaid being subject to potential retroactive reduction;

compliance with federal and state laws and regulations relating to the privacy of individually identifiable patient information, and associated fines and penalties for failure to comply;
 

 •
risks associated with public health crises, epidemics and pandemics, as was the case with the novel strain of COVID-19, and their direct and indirect impacts or lingering effects on the business, which could lead to a decline in visit volumes and referrals;
 

 •
the Company’s inability to compete effectively in a competitive industry, subject to rapid technological change and cost inflation, including competition that could impact the effectiveness of the Company’s strategies to improve patient referrals and the Company’s ability to identify, recruit, hire and retain skilled physical therapists;
 

 •
the Company’s inability to maintain high levels of service and patient satisfaction;
 

 •
risks associated with the locations of the Company’s clinics, including the economies in which the Company operates and the potential need to close clinics and incur closure costs;

 •
the severity of climate change or the weather and natural disasters that can occur in the regions of the U.S. in which the Company operates, which could cause disruption to its business;
 

 •
risks associated with future acquisitions, divestitures and other business initiatives, which may use significant resources, may be unsuccessful and could expose the Company to unforeseen liabilities;
 

 •
risks associated with the Company’s ability to secure renewals of current suppliers and other material agreements that the Company currently depends upon for business operations;
 

 •
failure of third-party vendors, including customer service, technical and information technology (“IT”) support providers and other outsourced professional service providers to adequately address customers’ requests and meet Company requirements;
 

 •
risks associated with the Company’s reliance on IT infrastructure in critical areas of its operations including, but not limited to, cyber and other security threats;
 

 •
a security breach of the Company’s IT systems or its third-party vendors’ IT systems may subject the Company to potential legal action and reputational harm and may result in a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 or the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act;
 

 •
maintaining clients for which the Company performs management and other services, as a breach or termination of those contractual arrangements by such clients could cause operating results to be less than expected;

 •
general economic conditions, including but not limited to inflationary and recessionary periods;
 

 •
the Company’s facilities face competition for experienced physical therapists and other clinical providers that may increase labor costs, result in elevated levels of contract labor and reduce profitability;
 

 •
risks associated with the Company’s ability to attract and retain talented executives and employees amidst the impact of unfavorable labor market dynamics, wage inflation and recent reduction in value of the Company’s share-based compensation incentives, including potential failure of steps being taken to reduce attrition of physical therapists and increase hiring of physical therapists;
 

 •
risks resulting from the 2L Notes, IPO Warrants, Earnout Shares and Vesting Shares being accounted for as liabilities at fair value and the changes in fair value affecting the Company’s financial results;
 

 •
further impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, which represent a significant portion of the Company’s total assets, especially in view of the Company’s recent market valuation;
 

 •
the Company’s inability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;
 

 •
risks related to dilution of Common Stock ownership interests and voting interests as a result of the issuance of 2L Notes and Series B Preferred Stock;
 

 •
costs related to operating as a public company; and
 

 •
the impact of the delisting of the Common Stock from the NYSE.
 
If any of these risks materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. Investors should also review those factors discussed in the Company’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and more recently filed Form 10-Qs under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents filed, or to be filed, by the Company with the SEC. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can the Company assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business of the Company or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligations to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

(b)        Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Required Purchasers may from time to time specify with the Issuer’s consent to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market convention or practice relating to such change in currency.
 
Section 1.09.      Cashless Rollovers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Note Document, to the extent that any Purchaser extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Notes with Additional Notes, loans incurred under a new credit facility or notes issued under a new issuance thereof, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Purchaser, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Note Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in Cash” or any other similar requirement.

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amount, a “Fixed Amount”) substantially concurrently with any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amount, an “Incurrence-Based Amount”), it is understood and agreed that (i) any Fixed Amount shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the relevant Incurrence-Based Amount, (ii) except as provided in clause (i), pro forma effect shall be given to the entire transaction and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, all Indebtedness substantially concurrently incurred will be included for purposes of calculating compliance with Sections 6.04(a)(xi), 6.04(a)(xii), 6.04(a)(xiii), 6.04(b)(vii), 6.06(bb) and clause (a)(ii) of the Available Amount (in each case, giving pro forma effect to the intended use of proceeds  thereof).  The Issuer may elect that any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on one or more of any Incurrence-Based Amount or any Fixed Amount in its sole discretion; provided, that unless the Issuer elects otherwise, each such amount or transaction shall be deemed incurred, entered into or consummated first under any Incurrence-Based Amount to the maximum extent permitted thereunder.
 
(d)        The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Issuer dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(f)          With respect to any pro forma calculation that is required to be made in connection with any acquisition or similar Investment in respect of which financial statements for the applicable target are not available for the same Test Period for which financial statements of the Issuer are available, the Issuer shall make the relevant calculation on the basis of the relevant available financial statements (even if for differing periods) or such other commercially reasonable basis as the Issuer may elect.

(4)        to the extent any Foreign Purchaser is not the beneficial owner (e.g., where the Foreign Purchaser is a partnership or participating Purchaser), two copies of executed IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-2, Exhibit O-3 or Exhibit O-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Foreign Purchaser is a partnership (and not a participating Purchaser) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Purchaser are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Purchaser may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner(s);

(C)         each Foreign Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Issuer and the Purchaser Representative on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer or the Purchaser Representative), two copies of any other executed form prescribed by applicable Requirements of 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 Requirements of Law to permit the Issuer or the Purchaser Representative to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

71
(D)       if a payment made to any Purchaser under any Note Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser 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 Purchaser shall deliver to the Issuer and the Purchaser Representative at the time or times prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Purchaser Representative such documentation as is prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and may be necessary for the Issuer and the Purchaser Representative to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Purchaser is an entity disregarded from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, references to the foregoing documentation are intended to refer to documentation with respect to such Purchaser’s owner and, as applicable, such Purchaser. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
 
Each Purchaser agrees that if any documentation (including any specific documentation required above in this Section 2.20(f)) it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall deliver to the Issuer and the Purchaser Representative updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Purchaser Representative) or promptly notify the Issuer and the Purchaser Representative in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.
 
(g)         If the Purchaser Representative or any Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (whether received in cash or applied as a credit against any cash taxes payable) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Issuer or with respect to which the Issuer has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay over such refund to the Issuer (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Issuer under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Purchaser Representative or such Purchaser (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Issuer, upon the request of the Purchaser Representative or such Purchaser, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Note Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Purchaser Representative or such Purchaser in the event the Purchaser Representative or such Purchaser is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Purchaser Representative or any Purchaser be required to pay any amount to the Issuer pursuant to this paragraph (g) to the extent that the payment thereof would place the Purchaser Representative or such Purchaser in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the Purchaser Representative or such Purchaser would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section 2.20 shall not be construed to require the Purchaser Representative or any Purchaser to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant Note Party or any other Person.
 
(h)          Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Purchaser Representative or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Purchaser, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Note Document.
 
(i)          Definition of “Applicable Law”.  For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
 
72
(j)          Certain Documentation.  On or before the date the Purchaser Representative becomes a party to this Agreement, the Purchaser Representative shall deliver to Issuer whichever of the following is applicable: (i) if the Purchaser Representative is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser Representative is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding or (ii) if the Purchaser Representative is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, (A) with respect to payments received for its own account, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Purchaser, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (together with all required accompanying documentation) certifying that the Purchaser Representative is a U.S. branch and may be treated as a United States person for purposes of applicable U.S. federal withholding Tax.  At any time thereafter, the Purchaser Representative shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Issuer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20(j), the Purchaser Representative shall not be required to provide any documentation that the Purchaser Representative is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a Change in Law after the Closing Date.
 
(k)          Tax Treatment. The Issuer, the Purchaser Representative and the Purchasers agree that, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, each Note (other than any Second Amendment Delayed Draw Note  and Third Amendment Note) and the Stapled Series B Preferred Stock shall (i) be treated as a single integrated instrument and (ii) such single integrated instrument shall be treated as indebtedness of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Purchaser Representative or any Purchaser shall file any tax return or take any position contrary or inconsistent with such treatment described in clause (i) or (ii) unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of applicable state or local income tax law).
 
Section 2.21.        Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments.
 
(a)          Unless otherwise specified, including in Section 2.15(e) and Article 10 hereof, the Issuer shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.18 or 2.22, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 p.m. on the date (or such other time as the Purchaser Representative reasonably accepts) when due, in immediately available funds (or such other form of consideration as the relevant recipient may agree), without set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.20) or counterclaim.  Any amount received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Purchaser Representative, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  Each such payment shall be made to the Purchaser Representative to the applicable account designated by the Purchaser Representative to the Issuer, except that any payment made pursuant to Sections 2.18, 2.22 or 9.03 shall be made directly to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.  The Purchaser Representative shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  Except as provided in Sections 2.22(b), 2.23 and Article 10 hereof, each Issuance, each payment (or redemption) of principal of any Issuance and each payment of interest in respect of the Notes of a given Class shall be allocated pro rata among the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class.  Each Purchaser agrees that in computing such Purchaser’s portion of any Issuance to be made hereunder, the Purchaser Representative may round each Purchaser’s percentage of such Issuance to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.  Except as provided in Section 2.15(a), all payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars or such other form of consideration as the relevant recipient may agree.  Any remittance required to be made by the Purchaser Representative hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Purchaser Representative shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Purchaser Representative to make such payment.
 
73
(b)          (I)          Subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, after any of the Obligations have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01 any amounts received on account of the Obligations (including all proceeds of Collateral) in accordance with the terms hereof (which amounts so received by the Purchaser Representative shall satisfy the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such amounts notwithstanding that the order of application set forth below may differ from the application required with respect to such payment by the relevant section of this Agreement or any other Note Document that gives rise to the payment of such amount) shall be applied by the Purchaser Representative in the following order:
 
(i)         first, to the payment of all costs and expenses then due incurred by the Purchaser Representative in connection with any collection, sale or realization on Collateral or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Note Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Purchaser Representative hereunder or under any other Note Document on behalf of any Note Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Note Document,

(ii)        second, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Purchaser Representative from the Issuer constituting Obligations,

(iii)       third, on a pro rata basis, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Third Amendment Note,

(iv)      fourth, on a pro rata basis, to redeem principal on the Third Amendment Notes among the Secured Parties holding Third Amendment Notes,

(v)        fifth, on a pro rata basis, to pay any other Secured Obligations on account of or in connection with the Third Amendment Notes,

(vi)       sixth, on a pro rata basis, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Note (other than the Third Amendment Notes),

(vii)      seventh, on a pro rata basis, to redeem principal on the Notes (other than the Third Amendment Notes) among the Secured Parties,

(viii)     (v) fiftheighth, on a pro rata basis, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Purchaser Representative, any Purchaser or any other Secured Party by the Issuer,

(ix)        (vi) sixthninth, as provided in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and

(x)         (vii) sevtenth, to, or at the direction of, the Issuer or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

74
(c)          If any Purchaser obtains payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Notes of any Class or resulting in such Purchaser receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Notes of such Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Purchaser with Notes of such Class, then the Purchaser receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for Cash at face value) participations in the Notes of such Class at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Purchasers of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Notes of such Class; provided that (i) if any such participation is purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (x) any payment made by the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, (y) any payment obtained by any Purchaser as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Note to any permitted assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Sections 2.22(b) and/or Section 9.05 or (z) any transaction consummated in accordance with Article 10 hereof.  The Issuer consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Purchaser acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Issuer rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Purchaser were a direct creditor of the Issuer in the amount of such participation. Upon notification of such participations or recovery of payments, the Purchaser Representative will forward a notice from the applicable Purchaser to the other Purchasers of any such purchases or repayments; provided, that (A) such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Purchaser Representative and the other Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For purposes of subclause (c) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, any Purchaser that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.21(c) shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Purchaser acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) and/or Note(s) to which such participation relates.
 
Section 2.22.         Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Purchasers.
 
(a)          If any Purchaser requests compensation under Section 2.18, or any Note Party is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Notes hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Purchaser, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.20, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the impact of Section 2.23, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Purchaser in any material respect.  The Issuer hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Purchaser in connection with any such designation or assignment.
 
(b)          If (i) any Purchaser requests compensation under Section 2.18, (ii) any Note Party is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.20, (iii) any Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser or (iv) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Purchaser”, “each Additional Purchaser”, or “each Purchaser directly affected thereby” (or any other Class or group of Purchasers other than the Required Purchasers) with respect to which Required Purchaser or Required Additional Purchaser consent (or the consent of Purchasers holding loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total loans and unused commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, any Purchaser is a non-consenting Purchaser, then the Issuer may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Purchaser and the Purchaser Representative, (x) terminate the applicable Commitments of such Purchaser, and repay all Obligations of the Issuer owing to such Purchaser relating to the applicable Notes held by such Purchaser as of such termination date or (y) replace such Purchaser by requiring such Purchaser to assign and delegate (and such Purchaser shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Transferee that assumes such obligations (which Eligible Transferee may be another Purchaser, if any Purchaser accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such Purchaser has received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Notes of such Class of Notes and/or Commitments, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under any Note Document with respect to such Class of Notes and/or Commitments, (B) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.18 or any payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment would result in a reduction in such compensation or payment and (C) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law.  No Purchaser (other than a Defaulting Purchaser) shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation, and the Issuer may not repay the Obligations of such Purchaser or terminate its Commitments, in each case, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Purchaser or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Issuer to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  Each Purchaser agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this Section 2.22, it shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser Representative a Transfer Agreement to evidence such sale and purchase and deliver to the Purchaser Representative any Note subject to such Transfer Agreement (provided that the failure of any Purchaser replaced pursuant to this Section 2.22 to execute a Transfer Agreement or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid), such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and any such Note shall be deemed cancelled.  If such Purchaser fails to execute such Transfer Agreement, it shall be deemed to have so executed such Transfer Agreement and the Purchaser Representative shall have full authority (as directed by the Required Purchasers) to effect such deemed transfer and record it in the Register.
 
75
Section 2.23.        [Reserved].
 
Section 2.24.        Defaulting Purchasers.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Person becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Person is a Defaulting Purchaser:
 
(a)       The Commitments of such Defaulting Purchaser shall not be included in determining whether all Purchasers, each affected Purchaser, the Required Purchasers, the Required Additional Purchasers, the Required Delayed Draw Purchasers or such other number of Purchasers as may be required hereby or under any other Note Document have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Purchasers or each affected Purchaser which affects such Defaulting Purchasers disproportionately and adversely relative to other affected Purchasers shall require the consent of such Defaulting Purchaser.

(b)       Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Purchaser Representative for the account of any Defaulting Purchaser (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.18, Section 2.20, Section 2.21, Section 2.22, Article 7, Section 9.05 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Purchaser Representative by such Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Required Purchasers and, where relevant, the Issuer as follows:  first, to the payment of any amount owing by such Defaulting Purchaser to the Purchaser Representative hereunder; second, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, as the Issuer may request, to the purchase of any Note in respect of which such Defaulting Purchaser has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; third, as the Required Purchasers or the Issuer may elect, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Purchaser to purchase Notes under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amount owing to the non-Defaulting Purchasers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non-Defaulting Purchaser against such Defaulting Purchaser as a result of such Defaulting Purchaser’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amount owing to the Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Issuer against such Defaulting Purchaser as a result of such Defaulting Purchaser’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Purchaser or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Note in respect of which such Defaulting Purchaser has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Note was sold at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 or Section 4.03, as applicable, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Notes of all non-Defaulting Purchasers on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Note of such Defaulting Purchaser.  Any payment, prepayment or other amount paid or payable to any Defaulting Purchaser that is applied (or held) to pay any amount owed by any Defaulting Purchaser shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Purchaser, and each Purchaser irrevocably consents hereto.

In the event that the Required Purchasers and the Issuer agree that any Defaulting Purchaser has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Purchaser to be a Defaulting Purchaser, then the Applicable Percentage of the relevant Purchasers shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Purchaser’s Commitment, and on such date such Purchaser shall purchase at par such of the Notes of the applicable Class of the other Purchasers as the Required Purchasers and the Issuer determine as necessary in order for such Purchaser to hold such Notes in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class.  Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Purchaser has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Purchaser to be a Defaulting Purchaser, (x) no adjustment will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer while such Purchaser was a Defaulting Purchaser and (y) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Purchaser to Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Purchaser’s having been a Defaulting Purchaser.

76
Section 2.25.        Additional Notes.
 
(a)          The Issuer may, at any time, on one or more occasions issue one or more new Classes of Additional Notes by requesting Additional Note Commitments to purchase such Additional Notes in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Cap; provided that:
 
(i)        no Additional Note Commitment may be in an amount that is less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount to which the Purchaser Representative may reasonably agree (acting at the instruction of the Required Purchasers)),

(ii)         except as the Issuer and any Initial Purchaser or Delayed Draw Purchaser may separately agree, no Initial Purchaser or Delayed Draw Purchaser shall be obligated to provide any Additional Note Commitment, and the determination to provide any Additional Note Commitment shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Purchaser (it being agreed that the Issuer shall not be obligated to offer the opportunity to any Purchaser to participate in any Additional Notes except to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.25(b)),

(iii)        the issuance of such Additional Notes shall have been approved by the Required Purchasers (calculated without giving effect to the issuance of such Additional Notes), acting in their sole discretion,

(iv)       except as otherwise provided in clause (ix) below with respect to fees, the terms of any Additional Notes shall be identical to any then-existing Notes,

(v)          [reserved],

(vi)         [reserved],

(vii)        [reserved],

(viii)       [reserved],
  
(ix)         to the extent applicable, any fees payable in connection with any Additional Notes shall be determined by the Issuer and the purchasers purchasing such Additional Notes,

(x)         any Additional Notes shall (A) rank pari passu with any then-existing series of Notes, in right of payment and/or security, (B) be guaranteed by each Person that is a Note Party and (B) be secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents on a pari passu basis with the then-existing Notes,

(xi)         [reserved],

77
(xii)      no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Additional Notes; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Additional Notes issued in connection with any acquisition, Investment or irrevocable repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, the condition set forth in this clause (xii) shall be that no Event of Default under Sections 7.01(a), (f) or (g) shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Additional Notes, and

(xiii)      the proceeds of any Additional Notes may be used for working capital and/or purchase price adjustments and other general corporate purposes (including Capital Expenditures, acquisitions and Investments); provided, that the proceeds of any Additional Notes may not be used to make Restricted Payments and/or Restricted Debt Payments,

(b)          (i) Prior to the Issuer issuing Additional Notes, the Issuer shall first seek commitments in respect of such Additional Notes (the “Offered Debt”) from the existing Purchasers, each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to provide the applicable Additional Note Commitments in its sole discretion, provided, that if any of the existing Purchasers have declined the offer to provide the Offered Debt, have failed to respond to the offer to provide the Offered Debt or have otherwise not provided a binding written commitment to provide the Offered Debt on the terms so offered (or at least as favorable as the terms so offered), in each case, within five Business Days of receipt of the offer to provide the Offered Debt from the Issuer (such 5th Business Day,  the “Offer Deadline”), the Issuer may then seek Additional Note Commitments on substantially the same terms from other Persons; and provided, further that if any such other Person is not then an existing Purchaser, such Person must constitute an “Eligible Transferee” and the Purchaser Representative (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) shall have a right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the relevant Person’s provision of Additional Note Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 9.05(b) for an assignment of Notes to such new Purchaser; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any such Person from acquiring the relevant Additional Notes by assignment, participation or otherwise after the initial closing thereof.
 
(c)          Each Purchaser or Additional Purchaser purchasing a portion of any Additional Note Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser Representative and the Issuer all such documentation as may be reasonably required by the Purchaser Representative to evidence and effectuate such Additional Note Commitment.  On the effective date of such Additional Note Commitment, each Additional Purchaser shall become a Purchaser for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.
 
(d)          As conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any issuance of Additional Notes, (i) the Required Purchasers shall have consented to any such issuance of Additional Notes, (ii) [reserved], (iii) the Purchaser Representative shall be entitled to receive, from each Additional Purchaser, an Administrative Questionnaire and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Additional Purchaser, (iv) the relevant Additional Purchasers shall have directly received the amount of any fees payable to the Additional Purchasers in respect of such Additional Notes and (v) the Purchaser Representative shall be entitled to receive a certificate of the Issuer signed by a Responsible Officer thereof:
 
(A)        certifying and attaching a copy of the resolutions adopted by the governing body of the Issuer approving or consenting to such Additional Notes, and

(B)         to the extent applicable, certifying that the condition set forth in clause (a)(xii) above has been satisfied.

(e)          [reserved].
 
(f)          [reserved].
 
78
(g)         The Purchasers hereby irrevocably authorize the Purchaser Representative to enter into any amendment to this Agreement or any other Note Document as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Notes or commitments pursuant to this Section 2.25 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser Representative or the Required Purchasers, and the Issuer, in connection with the establishment of such new Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.25.
 
(h)         [reserved].
 
(i)          This Section 2.25 shall supersede any provision in Sections 2.21 or 9.02 to the contrary.
 
ARTICLE 3          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 8.11.      Indemnification of Purchaser Representative.  To the extent that the Purchaser Representative (or any Affiliate thereof) and each of its Related Parties is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Issuer in accordance with and to the extent required by Section 9.03 hereof, the Purchasers will reimburse and indemnify the Purchaser Representative (and any Affiliate thereof) and each of its Related Parties in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages (determined as if there were no Defaulting Purchasers) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Purchaser Representative (or any Affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Note Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Note Document; provided that no Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Purchaser Representative’s (or such Affiliate’s) or such Related Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Note Documents and for the avoidance of doubt, any restriction set forth in any Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the Purchaser Representative’s ability to seek reimbursement of its fees, expenses and indemnities from the Issuer shall not affect each Purchaser’s requirement to reimburse and indemnify the Purchaser Representative (and any Affiliate thereof) and each of its Related Parties pursuant to this Section 8.11 and in such event the Purchaser Representative shall not be required to make demand on the Issuer prior to seeking reimbursement and indemnification from the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 8.11
 
Section 8.12.    Withholding Taxes.  To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law (as determined in good faith by the Purchaser Representative), the Purchaser Representative may withhold from any payment to any Purchaser under any Note Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.  Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.20, each Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Representative against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Purchaser Representative) incurred by or asserted against the Purchaser Representative by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Purchaser Representative to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Purchaser for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Purchaser failed to notify the Purchaser Representative of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective).  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Purchaser by the Purchaser Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Purchaser Representative to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under this Agreement or any other Note Document against any amount due the Purchaser Representative under this paragraph.  The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Purchaser Representative or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Purchaser, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Note Document.
 
Section 8.13.      Purchaser Representative 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 Note Party, the Purchaser Representative (irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Purchaser Representative shall have made any demand on the Note Parties) 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 Notes 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 Secured Parties and the Purchaser Representative (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and the Purchaser Representative and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties and the Purchaser Representative under Sections 2.14 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
 
131
(b)      to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Purchaser Representative and, in the event that the Purchaser Representative shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to the Purchaser Representative any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Purchaser Representative and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Purchaser Representative under Sections 2.14 and 9.03
 
Section 8.14.       Erroneous Payments.
 
(a)        If the Purchaser Representative notifies a Purchaser or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser or Secured Party (any such Purchaser, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Purchaser Representative has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Purchaser Representative or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Purchaser, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), the Purchaser Representative shall, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the payment of such Erroneous Payment to the Payment Recipient, notify the Payment Recipient and demand the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Purchaser Representative and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser Representative, and such Purchaser or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Purchaser Representative the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Purchaser Representative in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Purchaser Representative in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  A notice of the Purchaser Representative to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  If a Payment Recipient receives any payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise and does not receive a corresponding payment notice or payment advice from the Purchaser Representative, such payment, prepayment or repayment shall be presumed to be in error absent written confirmation from the Purchaser Representative to the contrary.
 
(b)       Each Purchaser or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Purchaser Representative to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser or Secured Party under any Note Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Purchaser Representative to such Purchaser or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Purchaser Representative under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Article 8.
 
132
(c)          For so long as an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) has not been returned by any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”) to the Purchaser Representative after demand therefor in accordance with clause (a) above, (i) the Purchaser Representative may elect, in its sole discretion upon written notice to the relevant Purchaser or Secured Party, that all rights and claims of such Purchaser or Secured Party with respect to the Notes or other Obligations owed to such Person up to the amount of the corresponding Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency in respect of such Erroneous Payment (the “Corresponding Amount”) shall immediately vest in the Purchaser Representative upon such election; after such election, with respect to Notes, the Purchaser Representative (x) may reflect its ownership interest in the relevant Notes in a principal amount equal to the Corresponding Amount in the Register, and (y) upon five business days’ written notice to such Purchaser may sell such Note (or portion thereof) to an Eligible Transferee in accordance with Section 9.05 in respect of the Corresponding Amount, and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by such Purchaser shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Note (or portion thereof), and the Purchaser Representative shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Purchaser (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its behalf), and (ii) each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Purchaser Representative has sold such Notes, and irrespective of whether the Purchaser Representative may be equitably subrogated, the Purchaser Representative shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Purchaser or Secured Party with respect to the relevant Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (determined after any reduction as a result of the vesting described in clause (i)) (it being understood and agreed that aggregate Obligations of the Note Parties shall not be increased as a result of the application of this clause (ii)).  For the avoidance of doubt, no vesting or sale pursuant to this clause (c) will reduce the Commitments of any Purchaser and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
(d)        The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Issuer or any other Note Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Purchaser Representative from the Issuer or any other Note Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
 
(e)        No Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Purchaser Representative for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
 
(f)        Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Purchaser Representative, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, and the occurrence of the Termination Date.
 
(g)       This Section 8.14 shall not apply to the disbursement of any proceeds of a Note to or at the express direction of the Issuer unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the Issuer.
 
(h)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Note Document, the Issuer and the Note Parties shall have no obligations or liabilities for any actions, consequences or remediation (including the repayment of any amounts) contemplated by this Section 8.14; provided that under no circumstances shall this Section 8.14(h) affect the Issuer’s or any Note Parties’ obligations or liabilities with respect to any Obligations that remain outstanding.
 
Section 8.15.        Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers.
 
Each Purchaser, severally, but not jointly or jointly and severally, represents and warrants to Issuer as to matters affecting itself that:
 
133
(a)          Securities Law Compliance.  Such Purchaser (a) is an “accredited investor”, as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act and (b) has such knowledge, skill, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters, based on actual participation, that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase and sale of the securities hereunder (including the Notes, Conversion Shares and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock) and the suitability thereof for such Purchaser.  The securities to be acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are being or will be acquired for its own account and with no intention of distributing or reselling such securities (within the meaning of the Securities Act) or any part thereof in any transaction that would be in violation of the securities laws of the United States of America, or any state, without prejudice, however, to its right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the securities under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or under an exemption from such registration available under the Securities Act, and subject, nevertheless, to the disposition of its property being at all times within its control.  If such Purchaser should in the future decide to dispose of any of the securities, such Purchaser understands and agrees that it may do so only in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, as then in effect. Such Purchaser agrees to the entry of a book entry legend to such effect in respect of its securities on any ledger or other register maintained by the Issuer.
 
(b)       Broker’s, Finder’s or Similar Fees.  Such Purchaser did not employ any broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
 
(c)         Source of Funds.  Each Purchaser severally represents that at least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to each source of funds (a “Source”) to be used by such Purchaser to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser hereunder:
 
(i)        the Source is an “insurance company general account” (as the term is defined in the United States Department of Labor’s Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 95-60) in respect of which the reserves and liabilities (as defined by the annual statement for life insurance companies approved by the NAIC (the “NAIC Annual Statement”)) for the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any employee benefit plan together with the amount of the reserves and liabilities for the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any other employee benefit plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in PTE 95-60) or by the same employee organization in the general account do not exceed 10% of the total reserves and liabilities of the general account (exclusive of separate account liabilities) plus surplus as set forth in the NAIC Annual Statement filed with such Purchaser’s state of domicile; or
 
(ii)        the Source is a separate account that is maintained solely in connection with such Purchaser’s fixed contractual obligations under which the amounts payable, or credited, to any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) that has any interest in such separate account (or to any participant or beneficiary of such plan (including any annuitant)) are not affected in any manner by the investment performance of the separate account; or
 
(iii)        the Source is either (i) an insurance company pooled separate account, within the meaning of PTE 90-1 or (ii) a bank collective investment fund, within the meaning of the PTE 91-38 and, except as disclosed by such Purchaser to the Issuer in writing pursuant to this clause (c), no employee benefit plan or group of plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization beneficially owns more than 10% of all assets allocated to such pooled separate account or collective investment fund; or
 
(iv)       the Source constitutes assets of an “investment fund” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14 (the “QPAM Exemption”)) managed by a “qualified professional asset manager” or “QPAM” (within the meaning of Part VI of the QPAM Exemption), no employee benefit plan’s assets that are managed by the QPAM in such investment fund, when combined with the assets of all other employee benefit plans established or maintained by the same employer or by an affiliate (within the meaning of Part VI(c)(1) of the QPAM Exemption) of such employer or by the same employee organization and managed by such QPAM, represent more than 20% of the total client assets managed by such QPAM, the conditions of Part I(c) and (g) of the QPAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the QPAM nor a person controlling or controlled by the QPAM maintains an ownership interest in the Issuer that would cause the QPAM and the Issuer to be “related” within the meaning of Part VI(h) of the QPAM Exemption and (i) the identity of such QPAM and (ii) the names of any employee benefit plans whose assets in the investment fund, when combined with the assets of all other employee benefit plans established or maintained by the same employer or by an affiliate (within the meaning of Part VI(c)(1) of the QPAM Exemption) of such employer or by the same employee organization, represent 10% or more of the assets of such investment fund, have been disclosed to the Issuer in writing pursuant to this clause (d); or
 
134
(v)       the Source constitutes assets of a “plan(s)” (within the meaning of Part IV(h) of PTE 96-23 (the “INHAM Exemption”)) managed by an “in-house asset manager” or “INHAM” (within the meaning of Part IV(a) of the INHAM Exemption), the conditions of Part I(a), (g) and (h) of the INHAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the INHAM nor a person controlling or controlled by the INHAM (applying the definition of “control” in Part IV(d)(3) of the INHAM Exemption) owns a 10% or more interest in the Issuer and (i) the identity of such INHAM and (ii) the name(s) of the employee benefit plan(s) whose assets constitute the Source have been disclosed to the Issuer in writing pursuant to this clause (e); or
 
(vi)        the Source is a governmental plan; or
 
(vii)      the Source is one or more employee benefit plans, or a separate account or trust fund comprised of one or more employee benefit plans, each of which has been identified to the Issuer in writing pursuant to this clause (g); or
 
(viii)       the Source does not include assets of any employee benefit plan, other than a plan exempt from the coverage of ERISA.
 
(d)          Organization and Qualification.  Such Purchaser is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing (or the equivalent thereof) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed, and has the requisite power and authority to own, operate or lease the properties and assets owned, operated or leased by it and to conduct its business as presently conducted. Such Purchaser is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary.
 
(e)        Authorization; Validity; Enforcement.  Such Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Note Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the applicable Note Documents by such Purchaser and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been, or when executed will be, duly authorized by such Purchaser. This Agreement and the applicable Note Documents have been (or will be, upon execution) duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by customary bankruptcy and equitable exceptions.
 
(f)        No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the applicable Note Documents do not and will not (i) violate or conflict with the organization certificate, bylaws or similar constitutive documents of such Purchaser; (ii) result in a breach, violation or default of any Law or Order applicable to such Purchaser; or (iii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party.

As used in this Section 8.15(c), the terms “employee benefit plan,” “governmental plan,” and “separate account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3 of ERISA.  To the extent any Purchaser is relying on clause (viii) of this Section 8.15(c), such Purchaser shall not be in breach of this representation solely by reason of the fact the one or more investors in such Purchaser is, or is investing the assets of, an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, as long as such Purchaser’s assets are not, and are not deemed to be, “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA.

Section 9.02.        Waivers; Amendments.
 
(a)          No failure or delay by the Purchaser Representative or any Purchaser in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Note Document shall operate as a waiver thereof except as provided herein or in any Note Document, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Purchaser Representative and the Purchasers hereunder and under any other Note Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Note Document or consent to any departure by any party hereto therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it is given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the purchase of any Note shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Purchaser Representative or any Purchaser may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.
 
(b)          Subject to Sections 9.02(b) through (d) below and to Section 9.05(f), neither this Agreement nor any other Note Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Issuer and the Required Purchasers (or the Purchaser Representative with the consent of the Required Purchasers) or (ii) in the case of any other Note Document (other than any waiver, amendment or modification to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Note Document), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Required Purchasers and each Note Party that is party thereto; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing:
 
(A)        the consent of each Purchaser directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the consent of the Required Purchasers) shall be required for any waiver, amendment or modification that:
 
138
(1)        increases the Commitment of such Purchaser (other than with respect to any Additional Note pursuant to Section 2.22 in respect of which such Purchaser has agreed to be an Additional Purchaser); it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute an increase of any Commitment of such Purchaser;
 
(2)         reduces the principal amount of any Note owed to such Purchaser or any amount due to such Purchaser on the Maturity Date;
 
(3)        (x) extends the scheduled final maturity of any Note held by such Purchaser or (y) postpones any Interest Payment Date with respect to any Note held by such Purchaser hereunder (in each case, other than any extension for administrative reasons agreed by the Purchaser Representative);
 
(4)         reduces the rate of interest (other than to waive any Default or Event of Default or any obligation of the Issuer to pay interest to such Purchaser at the default rate of interest under Section 2.15(d), which shall only require the consent of the Required Purchasers) or the amount of any fee or premium owed to such Purchaser; it being understood that no change in the definition of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” or any other financial test, or in the calculation of any other interest, fee or premium due hereunder (including any component definition thereof) shall constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fee hereunder;

146
(i)        No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.18 or 2.20 than the participating Purchaser 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 Issuer’s prior written consent (in its sole discretion), expressly acknowledging that such Participant’s entitlement to benefits under Sections 2.18 and 2.20 is not limited to what the participating Purchaser would have been entitled to receive absent the participation.
 
Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuer, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and their respective successors and registered assigns, and the principal and interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Notes or other obligations under the Note Documents (a “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to any Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Note or any other obligation under any Note Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Note or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations or under Section 1.163 5(b) of the proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser Representative (in its capacity as Purchaser Representative) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Purchaser (a “Granting Purchaser”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Purchaser to the Purchaser Representative and the Issuer, the option to purchase from the Issuer all or any part of any Note that such Granting Purchaser would otherwise be obligated to purchase from the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to purchase any Note and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to purchase all or any part of such Note, the Granting Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase such Note pursuant to the terms hereof.  The purchase of any Note by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Purchaser to the same extent, and as if, such Note was purchased by such Granting Purchaser.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement (including its obligations under Sections 2.18 or 2.20) and no SPC shall be entitled to any greater amount under Sections 2.18 or 2.20 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document that the Granting Purchaser would have been entitled to receive, unless the grant to such SPC is made with the prior written consent of the Issuer (in its sole discretion), expressly acknowledging that such SPC’s entitlement to benefits under Sections 2.18 and 2.20 is not limited to what the Granting Purchaser would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to the SPC, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Purchaser) and (iii) the Granting Purchaser shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Note Documents, remain the Purchaser of record hereunder.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the Requirements of Law of the U.S. or any State thereof; provided that (i) such SPC’s Granting Purchaser is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to the Issuer hereunder and (ii) each Purchaser designating any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.05, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Issuer or the Purchaser Representative and without paying any processing fee therefor, transfer all or a portion of its interests in any Note to the Granting Purchaser and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Notes to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
 
(f)         (i)        Any transfer or participation by a Purchaser (A) to any Disqualified Institution or any Affiliate thereof or (B) to the extent the Issuer’s consent is required under this Section 9.05 (and not deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 9.05(b)(i)(A)) without the Issuer’s consent, to any other Person, shall be null and void, and the Issuer shall be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such transfer and/or specifically enforce this Section 9.05(f) in addition to injunctive relief (without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm) or any other remedies available to the Issuer at law or in equity; it being understood and agreed that the Issuer and its subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if any Purchaser breaches any obligation under this Section 9.05 as it relates to any transfer, participation or pledge of any Note or Commitment to any Disqualified Institution or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person to whom the Issuer’s consent is required but not obtained.  Nothing in this Section 9.05(f) shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the Issuer may otherwise have at law or equity.  Upon the request of any Purchaser, the Purchaser Representative may and the Issuer will make the list of Disqualified Institutions (other than any Disqualified Institution that is a reasonably identifiable Affiliate of another Disqualified Institution on the basis of such Person’s name) available to such Purchaser so long as such Purchaser agrees to keep the list of Disqualified Institutions confidential in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
148
(i)        If any transfer under this Section 9.05 is made to any Disqualified Institution and/or Affiliate of any Disqualified Institution (other than any Competitor Debt Fund Affiliate) and/or any other Person whom the Issuer’s consent is required but not obtained, in each case without the Issuer’s prior written consent (any such person, a “Disqualified Person”), then the Issuer may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Purchaser Representative, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Issuer owing to such Disqualified Person, (B) in the case of any outstanding Notes, held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Notes by paying the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Notes, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Person to transfer, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Transferees; provided that (I) in the case of clause (B), the applicable Disqualified Person has received payment of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) par and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid for the applicable Notes, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Issuer, (II) in the case of clause (C), the relevant transfer shall otherwise comply with this Section 9.05 (except that (x) no registration and processing fee required under this Section 9.05 shall be required with any transfer pursuant to this paragraph and (y) [reserved]) and (III) in no event shall such Disqualified Person be entitled to receive amounts set forth in Section 2.15(d).  Further, any Disqualified Person identified by the Issuer to the Purchaser Representative (A) shall not be permitted to (x) receive information or reporting provided by any Note Party, the Purchaser Representative or any Purchaser and/or (y) attend and/or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Purchasers and the Purchaser Representative, (B) (x) shall not for purposes of determining whether the Required Purchasers or the majority Purchasers under any Class have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Note Document or any departure by any Note Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Note Document, or (iii) directed or required the Purchaser Representative or any Purchaser to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Note Document, have a right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Purchaser Representative or any Purchaser to take (or refrain from taking) any such action; it being understood that all Notes held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Purchasers, majority Purchasers under any Class or all Purchasers have taken any action, and (y) shall be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Purchasers that are not Disqualified Persons in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against the Issuer or any other Note Party and (C) shall not be entitled to receive the benefits of Section 9.03.  For the sake of clarity, the provisions in this Section 9.05(f) shall not apply to any Person that is an assignee of any Disqualified Person, if such transferee is not a Disqualified Person.
 
(ii)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Issuer and each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser Representative shall not have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Purchaser or potential Purchaser is a Disqualified Institution or Disqualified Person and the Purchaser Representative shall have no liability with respect to any assignment or participation made to any Disqualified Institution or Disqualified Person (regardless of whether the consent of the Purchaser Representative is required thereto), and none of the Issuer, any Purchaser or their respective Affiliates will bring any claim to such effect.
 
(g)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Purchaser may, at any time, transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Notes to any Affiliated Purchaser on a non-pro rata basis (A) through “Dutch auctions” open to all Purchasers holding the relevant Notes on a pro rata basis or (B) through open market purchases, in each case with respect to clauses (A) and (B), without the consent of the Purchaser Representative; provided that:
 
(i)         (A) any Notes acquired by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof; provided that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so retired and cancelled and (B) in no event shall the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries offer to acquire the Notes of any Affiliated Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.05(g) unless such offer to acquire is made to all Purchasers holding the relevant Class of Notes on a pro rata basis (it being understood and agreed that if such other Purchasers of such Class decline (or fail to respond to) the offer to acquire such Notes within 5 Business Days of receipt of the offer to acquire such Notes from the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, then the Issuer and/or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to offer the entire amount so declined (or with respect to which there was a failure to respond) to Affiliated Purchasers;
 
149
(ii)         any Notes acquired by any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate (other than the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries (it being understood that any such Notes shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and cancelled promptly upon such contribution); provided that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so contributed and cancelled;

(vi)        [reserved]; and
 
(vii)      no Affiliated Purchaser shall be required to represent or warrant that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to the Issuer and/or any subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 9.05(g).
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Purchaser may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Notes and/or Commitments to any Debt Fund Affiliate, and any Debt Fund Affiliate may, from time to time, purchase Notes and/or Commitments (x) on a pro rata basis through “Dutch auctions” open to all applicable Purchasers in accordance with customary procedures or (y) on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases (including, for the avoidance of doubt, negotiated transactions) without the consent of the Purchaser Representative, in each case, notwithstanding the requirements set forth in subclauses (i) through (vii) of this clause (g); provided that the Notes and Commitments held by all Debt Fund Affiliates shall not account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required Purchasers have (A) consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Note Document or any departure by any Note Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Note Document or (C) directed or required the Purchaser Representative or any Purchaser to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Note Document; it being understood and agreed that the portion of the Note and/or Commitments that accounts for more than 49.9% of the relevant Required Purchaser action shall be deemed to be voted on pro rata basis in accordance with the votes of Purchasers that are not Debt Fund Affiliates; provided that in determining whether the Purchaser Representative shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, or waiver, only Notes for which the Purchaser Representative has received written notice that such Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded. Any Note acquired by any Debt Fund Affiliate may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries for purposes of cancelling such Indebtedness (it being understood that any Note so contributed shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and cancelled immediately upon thereof); provided that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the relevant Class of Notes shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so contributed and cancelled. The Purchaser Representative shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Debt Fund Affiliates, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser Representative shall not be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Purchaser or prospective Purchaser is a Debt Fund Affiliate.

Section 9.09.     Right of Setoff.  At any time when an Event of Default exists, upon the written consent of the Required Purchasers, the Purchaser Representative and each Purchaser is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations (in any currency) at any time owing by the Purchaser Representative or such Purchaser to or for the credit or the account of any Note Party against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by the Purchaser Representative or such Purchaser, irrespective of whether or not the Purchaser Representative or such Purchaser has made any demand under the Note Documents and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Purchaser or Purchaser Representative different than the branch or office holding such deposit or obligation on such Indebtedness. The applicable Purchaser or Purchaser Representative shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Purchaser Representative of such set-off or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Purchaser and the Purchaser Representative under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Purchaser or Purchaser Representative may have.

In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Purchaser or (2) a Purchaser has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Purchaser further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Purchaser party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Purchaser party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Purchaser party hereto, for the benefit of, the Purchaser Representative and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Issuer or any other Note Party, that the Purchaser Representative is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Purchaser involved in such Purchaser’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Notes, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Purchaser Representative under this Agreement, any Note Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).  To the extent the Purchaser Representative (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Issuer, the Purchasers severally agree to reimburse and indemnify the Purchaser Representative (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective “pro rata shares” (determined as set forth below) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Purchaser Representative (or such sub-agent) or such Related Party in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Note Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Note Document; provided, that no Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Purchaser Representative’s or such Related Party’s, as applicable, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).  For purposes of this paragraph, a Purchaser’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of, without duplication, unused Commitments and outstanding Notes, in each case, at the time (or most recently outstanding and in effect).

Section 9.25.     Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Note Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivative Transactions or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “US Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Note Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the US or any other state of the US):

(b)         As used in this Section 9.25, the following terms have the following meanings:
 
“BHC ACT Affiliate” means an “affiliate” (as defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)).

(i)          a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

ARTICLE 10          CONVERSION OF NOTES
 
Section 10.01.     Conversion Privilege.  Subject to the conditions and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 10, each holder of a Note shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date (the “Conversion Right”).  Upon conversion of a Note, the holder of such Note shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the principal amount of such Note plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Converted Amount”) divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (with cash in lieu of any fractional share as provided for herein) (the “Conversion Shares”).
 
Section 10.02.      Forced Conversion.
 
158
(a)        On or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Issuer may, at its option, from time to time, elect to convert (a “Forced Conversion”) a portion of the outstanding Notes into the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion pursuant to Section 10.01 (with cash in lieu of any fractional share as provided for herein) based on the Conversion Price then in effect if, and only if (i) the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock has been at least 200% of the Conversion Price then in effect on at least 30 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 45 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Forced Conversion Notice Date, (ii) the Issuer provides the Forced Conversion Notice on a Trading Day and the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock is at least 200% of the Conversion Price in effect on such Forced Conversion Notice Date and (iii) a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Forced Conversion is effective and available for use by the holders of converted Notes on the Forced Conversion Notice Date and the Issuer in good faith expects such registration statement to remain effective and available for such purpose, without any blackout on the use thereof (any period when a blackout is in effect, a “Blackout Period”), for a period of at least 20 days after the Forced Conversion Date, provided, that, in the event that the Issuer provides written notice of any Forced Conversion that would be effective but for the fact that the date of such written notice falls within any Blackout Period, such Forced Conversion shall only be effective if (A) the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock is at least 200% of the Conversion Price then in effect on each of the first two Trading Days immediately following the last day of such Blackout Period, (B) the Issuer provides written confirmation of such Forced Conversion on the second such Trading Day to all holders of the Notes and (C) the foregoing clause (iii) is satisfied on such second Trading Day, and in such event such second Trading Day shall be deemed the Forced Conversion Notice Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Issuer shall not be permitted to exercise the Forced Conversion right at any one time with respect to a principal amount of Notes exceeding 25% of the aggregate original principal amount of all Initial Notes, First Amendment Notes and Delayed Draw Notes, if any, that have been issued hereunder (in each case, plus the amount of any interest thereon that has been capitalized thereon), and if the Issuer exercises the Forced Conversion right on any Trading Day, the Issuer may not exercise the Forced Conversion right again until the Trading Day immediately following the date on which the shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the former Forced Conversion have been delivered to the applicable Purchasers.
 
(b)         In order for the Issuer to exercise its right to elect a Forced Conversion of any portion of the outstanding Notes pursuant to this Section 10.02, the Issuer shall give written notice (the “Forced Conversion Notice”) to all holders of the Notes on a Trading Day (the date of such notice, the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”) stating that the Issuer elects to force conversion of such portion of the outstanding Notes pursuant to this Section 10.02 and shall state therein (i) the outstanding principal amount of such Purchaser’s Notes to be converted, (ii) the Conversion Price on the Forced Conversion Notice Date and (iii) the Issuer’s computation of the number of shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share) to be received by the Purchaser.  The Issuer shall deliver the shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share) issuable upon any Forced Conversion on the third Trading Day immediately following the applicable Forced Conversion Notice Date (the “Forced Conversion Date”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise by the Issuer of its Forced Conversion right shall not limit or otherwise affect the right of any holder to convert all or any portion of its Notes at any time prior to the Forced Conversion Date.  The Forced Conversion Notice Date with respect to any Forced Conversion shall be deemed to be the Conversion Date with respect to such Forced Conversion.
 
(c)          Any Forced Conversion pursuant to this Section 10.02 shall be made in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.03 and the other applicable provisions of this Article 10.
 
Section 10.03.      Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.
 
159
(a)          Upon conversion of any Note, the Issuer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the holder of converted Notes the number of Conversion Shares determined in accordance with Section 10.01 (with cash in lieu of any fractional share) on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (except as specified in Section 10.02(b)). Such delivery shall be effected through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company and, if applicable, bear a customary legend regarding securities law restrictions registered in the name of the relevant holder (provided such Person must be an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act). Upon the Conversion Date, the holder of converted Notes shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Conversion Shares with respect to which such Note (or portion thereof) has been converted.
 
(b)         To exercise the Conversion Right with respect to all or any portion of any Note on any date (the “Conversion Date”), the holder of such Note shall transmit by email (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such date, an unsigned copy of a written holder conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit S to the offices of the Issuer, at ATI Physical Therapy, Inc., 790 Remington Boulevard, Bolingbrook, Illinois 60440 (Attention: Joseph Jordan, Chief Financial Officer, Email: joseph.jordan@atipt.com), or such other address or email address as the Issuer may designate in writing, and to the Purchaser Representative, at 500 Delaware Ave., Wilmington, DE 19801 (Attention: ATI Holdings Acquisition, Inc., Email: phealy@wsfsbank.com).  The Issuer shall maintain records showing the principal converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the relevant holder and the Issuer. The holder of each Note and any assignee, by acceptance of such Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any portion of any Note, the principal amount of any Note may be less than the principal amount stated on the face thereof.
 
(c)          If a Note is converted, the Issuer shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion, unless the tax is due because the holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name, in which case the holder shall pay that tax.
 
(d)          The Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date.
 
(e)          The Issuer shall not deliver any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date.
 
Section 10.04.     Adjustment of Conversion Price.  The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Issuer if any of the following events occurs:
 
(a)          If the Issuer exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Issuer effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 
where,
CP0 =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
 
CP'           =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date or immediately after the open of business on such Effective Date, as applicable;
 
OS0 =           the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the open of business on such Effective Date, as applicable (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, split or combination); and
 
160
OS'           =           the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.
 
Any adjustment made under this clause (a) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable.  If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Issuer determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
 
(b)          If the Issuer issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,
 
CP0 =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance;
 
CP'           =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;
 
OS0 =           the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date;
 
X           =           the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
 
Y           =           the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.
 
Any adjustment made under this clause (b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance.  To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.  If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.
 
For purposes of this clause (b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Issuer for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Issuer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
 
161
(c)         If the Issuer distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its Indebtedness, other assets or property of the Issuer or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 10.04(a) or Section 10.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in Section 10.04(d) shall apply, and (iii) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 10.04(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
 
where,
CP0 =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;
 
CP'           =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;
 
SP0 =           the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
 
FMV           =           the fair market value (as determined by the Issuer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Record Date for such distribution.
 
Any adjustment made under the portion of this clause (c) above shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution.  If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such holder would have received if such holder exercised the Conversion Right with respect to such Note in full immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.  If the Issuer determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this clause (c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
 
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Issuer, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
 
162
where,
 
CP0 =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
 
CP'           =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
 
FMV0 =           the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and
 
MP0 =           the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.
 
The adjustment to the Conversion Price under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period.
 
For purposes of this clause (c) (and subject in all respect to Section 10.09), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Issuer to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Issuer’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this clause (c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this clause (c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this clause (c).  If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Agreement, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Record Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof).  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this clause (c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Price shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
 
(d)          If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
 
163
where,
 
CP0 =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;
 
CP'           =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;
 
SP0 =           the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and
 
C           =           the amount in cash per share the Issuer distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.
 
Any adjustment pursuant to this clause (d) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution.  If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, effective as of the date the Issuer determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such holder would have received if such holder exercised the Conversion Right with respect to such Note in full immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.
 
(e)          If the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
 
where,
 
CP0 =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
 
CP'           =           the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
 
AC           =           the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Issuer) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
 
164
OS0 =           the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
 
OS'           =           the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
 
SP'           =           the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.
 
The adjustment to the Conversion Price under this clause (e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.
 
(f)
 
(i)         In the event the Issuer shall at any time after the date hereof issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance or deemed issuance, to the consideration per share received by the Issuer for such issue or deemed issue of the Additional Shares of Common Stock; provided that if such issuance or deemed issuance was without consideration, then the Issuer shall be deemed to have received an aggregate of one-tenth of a cent ($.001) of consideration for all such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued.
 
(ii)        If the Issuer at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a Record Date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a Record Date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such Record Date.
 
(iii)        If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price, are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Issuer upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a Record Date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.
 
165
(iv)        If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price (either because the consideration per share of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the date hereof), are revised after the date hereof as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Issuer upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.
 
(v)        Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.
 
(vi)       If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Issuer upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in this provision shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in the other provisions hereof).  If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Issuer upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Conversion Price that would result at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.
 
(vii)      For purposes of this provision, the consideration received by the Issuer for the issuance or deemed issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:
 
(A)         Cash and Property.  Such consideration shall:
 
(1)          insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Issuer, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;
 
166
(2)           insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined by the Issuer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner; and
 
(3)           in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Issuer for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined by the Issuer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
 
(B)        Options and Convertible Securities.  The consideration per share received by the Issuer for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued relating to Options and Convertible Securities shall be determined by dividing:
 
(1)           The total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Issuer as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by
 
(2)           the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
 
(viii)     In the event the Issuer shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms hereof, and such issuance dates occur within a period of no more than ninety (90) days from the first such issuance to the final such issuance, then, upon the final such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).
 
(g)        In addition to those adjustments required by the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Issuer’s securities are then listed, the Issuer from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Issuer determines that such decrease would be in the Issuer’s best interest.  In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Issuer’s securities are then listed, the Issuer may (but is not required to) decrease the Conversion Price to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event.  Whenever the Conversion Price is decreased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Issuer shall deliver to the holder of each Note a notice of the decrease at least 15 days prior to the date the decreased Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the decreased Conversion Price and the period during which it will be in effect.
 
(h)         All calculations and other determinations under this Article 10 shall be made by the Issuer and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.
 
167
(i)          Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Issuer shall promptly deliver to holders of the Notes an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
(j)           For purposes of this Section 10.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Issuer so long as the Issuer does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Issuer, but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
 
Section 10.05.     Shares To Be Fully Paid.  The Issuer shall provide free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.
 
Section 10.06.      Effect of Recapitalizations; Reclassifications and Changes of Common Stock.
 
(a)          In the case of:
 
(i)          any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a stock split, subdivision or combination),
 
(ii)         any consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving the Issuer,
 
(iii)       any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Issuer and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or
 
(iv)        any statutory share exchange,
 
in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert the Notes shall be changed into a right to convert the Notes at the Conversion Price for the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”) upon such Merger Event.
 
If the Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be (x) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election or (y) if no holders of Common Stock affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock, and (ii) the Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock.  The Issuer shall notify holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
 
Following any Merger Event, the anti-dilution and other adjustments set forth herein shall be applied in a manner as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article.  If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such other Person shall agree to undertake the obligations of the Issuer in this Agreement and shall undertake such additional obligations to protect the interests of the holders of the Notes as the Issuer shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.
 
168
(b)       If a Merger Event occurs, the Issuer shall promptly deliver to holders of the Notes an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise the Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with.
 
(c)      The Issuer shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section.  None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.
 
(d)         The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
 
Section 10.07.     Certain Covenants.
 
(a)       No later than June 14, 2023, the Issuer shall convene and hold an annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer (the “Issuance Approval Meeting”) at which the stockholders of the Issuer will be asked to approve the issuance of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes as provided for in this Agreement (the “Issuance Approval”), and the proxy statement related to such Issuance Approval Meeting will include a recommendation by the Issuer’s board of directors (subject to the fiduciary duties of the Issuer’s board of directors) that the stockholders of the Issuer vote in favor of such proposal.
 
(b)       The Issuer covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Issuer and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
 
(c)       The Issuer covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued upon conversion, the Issuer will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the SEC, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.
 
(d)      The Issuer further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Issuer will list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
 
Section 10.08.     Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.  In case of any:
 
(a)         action by the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article;
 
(b)         Merger Event; or
 
169
(c)          voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries;

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Agreement), the Issuer shall deliver to each holder of the Notes, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.  Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
 
Section 10.09.     Stockholder Rights Plans.  If the Issuer has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of Notes, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable all or substantially all holders of the Distributed Property as provided in Section 10.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
 
Section 10.10.      Effect of Conversion.  Upon the conversion of all or any portion of any Note in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10, the relevant Converted Amount shall be deemed to have been paid in full in cash for all purposes under this Agreement, and neither the Issuer nor any other Note Party shall have any further liability with respect to such Converted Amount.  In the event of the conversion of all or any portion of any Note in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10, upon delivery of any Conversion Shares, Common Stock or other cash, securities or property or asset for the Converted Amount, the Issuer will provide the Purchaser Representative with (y) written confirmation of (I) such delivery, and (II) the amount of Converted Amount deemed to have been paid in full in cash for all purposes under this Agreement as a result of such delivery, and (z) an irrevocable instruction to reflect on the Register the payment of the Converted Amount that is deemed so paid in full as a result of such delivery. Other than to update the Register pursuant an instruction pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Purchaser Representative shall have no obligation or duty pursuant to Article 10 or with respect to the Conversion Shares, Common Stock or any other cash, securities or property or asset distributed pursuant to Article 10 or any requirements or conditions related to the delivery of, or exchange or conversion thereof, or any other fact or matter in connection with the Conversion Shares, Common Stock or any other cash, securities or property or asset distributed pursuant to Article 10 or the provisions of this Article 10. In furtherance of the foregoing, in no event shall the Purchaser Representative have any duties or obligations, nor shall they in any event have any liability, with respect to any Note Party’s or any Purchaser’s compliance with applicable securities laws in respect of the Notes, the Conversion Shares, Common Stock or any other cash, securities or property or asset distributed pursuant to Article 10.
 
Section 10.11.      Closing Date.  It is understood and agreed for the avoidance of doubt that the provisions of this Article 10 shall have no effect if the Closing Date does not occur. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein, it is understood and agreed that nothing in this Article 10 applies or shall apply to any Second Amendment Delayed Draw Notes and/or, Second Amendment Delayed Draw Note Purchaser (in their capacity as a Second Amended Delayed Draw Note Purchaser), Third Amendment Notes and/or Third Amendment Note Purchaser (in their capacity as a Third Amended Delayed Draw Note Purchaser).

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ATI PHYSICAL THERAPY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), hereby promises to pay on demand to [●] (the “Purchaser”) or its registered permitted assigns, at the office of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“Wilmington”) at 500 Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, DE 19801, the principal sum of $[●] (or such lesser amount as shall not have been issued, redeemed or repurchased), as increased by any PIK Interest (as defined below) that has been capitalized and added to the principal amount of this Note (and not subsequently redeemed or repurchased) on August 24, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”).  The Issuer also promises to pay interest from the Pre-Funding Date (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below)) on the principal amount hereof outstanding in the manner and at the rate or rates per annum and payable on the dates provided in that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2023 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2023, that certain Second Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2024, and that certain Third Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 12, 2024 the “Note Purchase Agreement”), among, inter alios, the Issuer, the purchasers from time to time party thereto (the “Purchasers”) and Wilmington, in its capacities as purchaser representative and collateral agent for the Purchasers (in such capacity, the “Purchaser Representative”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Note Purchase Agreement.

The aggregate amount of interest capitalized and added to principal on any relevant date shall be determined by the Purchaser Representative, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, absent manifest error.

(“Caspian”), Onex Capital Solutions Holdings, LP (“Onex,” and together with Caspian, the “Purchaser Parties,” and each individually, a “Purchaser Party,” and the Purchaser Parties, together with ATI, the “Parties,” and each individually, a “Party”), and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”). Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings specified in the Third Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Third Amendment”) by and among ATI, the other parties thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as purchaser representative (the “Purchase Representative”), which amends that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2023 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, including by the Third Amendment, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), among, inter alios, ATI, the purchasers from time to time party thereto and the Purchaser Representative.

RECITALS

A.          ATI intends to commence a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) pursuant to which ATI will repurchase up to 1,650,000 shares of ATI’s class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), the consummation of which will be subject to certain conditions specified in the Offer to Purchase and related documents and materials which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Tender Offer Conditions”).

B.         Pursuant to the Third Amendment, ATI has agreed to issue Third Amendment Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $6,000,000, and the Purchaser Parties have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Amendment, to purchase such Third Amendment Notes.

C.         The Purchaser Parties agree to place in escrow certain funds in an amount equal to their respective Third Amendment Note Commitments (as defined in the Third Amendment) and the Escrow Agent agrees to hold and distribute such funds in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement.

D.         The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not a party to, is not bound by, and has no duties or obligations under, the Third Amendment or the Tender Offer, that all references in this Escrow Agreement to the Third Amendment or the Tender Offer are for convenience, and that the Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties beyond the express duties set forth in this Escrow Agreement.

In consideration of the promises and agreements of the Parties and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties and the Escrow Agent agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
ESCROW DEPOSIT

Section 1.1.       Receipt of Escrow Property.  Following execution hereof, and on or prior to the Pre-Funding Date (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), the Purchaser Parties shall deliver to the Escrow Agent the amount of $6,000,000 (the “Escrow Property”) in immediately available funds.

Section 1.2.        Investment of Escrow Property.

(a)        The Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to deposit, transfer, hold and invest the Escrow Property in one or more segregated, non-interest bearing bank accounts to be maintained by the Escrow Agent in its name as agent for ATI as set forth in Exhibit A hereto or as set forth in any subsequent written instruction signed by each Party. All Escrow Property shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 1.3 or Section 1.6 hereof.

(b)      The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to liquidate proceeds in the Escrow Account as it deems reasonably necessary to make any payments or distributions required under this Escrow Agreement or in accordance with the Escrow Release Instruction (as defined below). The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Escrow Agreement, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or any such affiliate is acting as agent of the Escrow Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.

(c)       The Parties agree that confirmations of permitted investment are not required to be issued by the Escrow Agent for each month in which a monthly statement is rendered. The Escrow Agent shall prepare and send an account statement to each Party on a monthly basis reflecting activity in the Escrow Account for the preceding month.

Section 1.3.      Disbursements.  The Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Property following the receipt of written instructions delivered by ATI (an “Escrow Release Instruction”), upon the occurrence of the following events:

(a)       If the Tender Offer Conditions are satisfied or waived by ATI by the end of 20 business days after commencement of the Tender Offer or on such subsequent date to which ATI may extend the Tender Offer in accordance with the procedure set forth in the Offer to Purchase (the “Expiration Date”), and ATI has agreed that it will accept the Shares for purchase, ATI shall deliver an Escrow Release Instruction instructing the Escrow Agent to release and disburse the Escrow Property (or if less, the portion of the Escrow Property necessary for the Permitted Use of Third Amendment Note Proceeds (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) (the “Required Amount”)) to ATI. In the event that the conditions set forth in this clause (a) are satisfied or waived but the Required Amount is less than $6,000,000, ATI will deliver an Escrow Release Instruction instructing the Escrow Agent to release the difference between $6,000,000 and the Required Amount to the Purchaser Parties.

(b)        In the event that the conditions set forth in clause (a) are not satisfied or waived, or the Tender Offer is terminated, ATI will deliver an Escrow Release Instruction instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Escrow Property to the Purchaser Parties.

(c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, ATI shall deliver an Escrow Release Instruction instructing the Escrow Agent to release and disburse the Escrow Property to the Purchaser Parties if the conditions set forth in clause (a) have not been satisfied or waived by February 28, 2025.

Section 1.4.        Security Procedure For Funds Transfers.  The Escrow Agent shall confirm each funds transfer instruction received in the name of ATI by means of the security procedure selected by ATI and communicated to the Escrow Agent through a signed certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, which upon receipt by the Escrow Agent shall become a part of this Escrow Agreement.  Once delivered to the Escrow Agent, Exhibit B may be revised or rescinded only by a writing signed by an authorized representative of ATI.  Such revisions or rescissions shall be effective only after actual receipt and following such period of time as may be necessary to afford the Escrow Agent a reasonable opportunity to act on such revisions or rescissions.  If a revised Exhibit B or a rescission of an existing Exhibit B is delivered to the Escrow Agent by an entity that is a successor-in-interest to ATI, such document shall be accompanied by additional documentation satisfactory to the Escrow Agent showing that such entity has succeeded to the rights and responsibilities of ATI under this Escrow Agreement.

The Parties understand that the Escrow Agent’s inability to receive or confirm funds transfer instructions pursuant to the security procedure selected by such Party may result in a delay in accomplishing such funds transfer, and agree that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss caused by any such delay, except where such delay results from the Escrow Agent’s fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Section 1.5.        Income Tax and Reporting.

(a)        Prior to the date hereof, each of the Parties shall provide the Escrow Agent with a fully executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or W-8, properly completed and signed, and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may reasonably request. The Parties and the Escrow Agent further agree that, for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, ATI shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Property.

(b)        ATI shall indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other cost or expense that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to the Escrow Property unless such tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other expense was directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent.  The indemnification provided by this Section 1.5(b) is in addition to and without duplication of the indemnification provided in Section 3.1 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

(c) The Parties hereto acknowledge that, in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or corporation who opens an account and /or enters into a business relationship. The Parties hereby agree that they shall provide the Escrow Agent with such information as the Escrow Agent may request including, but not limited to, each Party’s name, physical address, tax identification number and other information that will assist the Escrow Agent in identifying and verifying each Party’s identity such as organizational documents, certificates of good standing, licenses to do business, or other pertinent identifying information.

Section 1.6.        Termination.  This Escrow Agreement shall terminate upon the disbursement of all of the Escrow Property, except that the provisions of Sections 1.5(b), 3.1 and 3.2 hereof shall survive termination hereof.

Section 2.3.        Reliance.  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with this Escrow Agreement and at the direction or consent of the Parties or their respective agents, representatives, successors, or assigns, except in the event of fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any notice, request, consent, direction, requisition, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, or other paper or document delivered in accordance with this Escrow Agreement and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, without further inquiry into the person’s or persons’ authority.  Concurrent with the execution of this Escrow Agreement, the Parties shall deliver to the Escrow Agent Exhibit B, as applicable, which contains authorized signer designations in Part I thereof, and Exhibit D-1 and D-2.  Each Party represents and warrants that each person signing this Escrow Agreement on behalf of such Party is duly authorized and has legal capacity to execute and deliver this Escrow Agreement on behalf of such Party, along with any exhibit, agreement, document, and instrument to be executed and delivered by such Party.

ARTICLE III

Section 3.1.        Indemnification.  ATI shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and out-of-pocket expense, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses or other reasonable and documented professional fees and expenses which the Escrow Agent may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought against the Escrow Agent, arising out of or relating in any way to this Escrow Agreement or any transaction to which this Escrow Agreement relates, unless such loss, liability, cost, damage or expense shall have been finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Escrow Agent or any of its agents. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent and the Parties acknowledge that the Purchaser Parties shall have no liability to the Escrow Agent under this Section 3.1 or Section 1.5(b) or Section 3.4 hereof.

Section 3.4.       Compensation.  The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services as stated in the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit C, which compensation shall be paid by ATI. Such compensation for the services rendered hereunder is intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent's services as contemplated by this Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that: (i) the conditions for the disbursement of funds under this Escrow Agreement are not fulfilled; (ii) the Escrow Agent renders any service not contemplated in this Escrow Agreement; (iii) there is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of this Escrow Agreement, or any material modification hereof, (iv) any material controversy arises hereunder; or (v) the Escrow Agent is made a party to any litigation pertaining to this Escrow Agreement or the subject matter hereof, then ATI shall compensate the Escrow Agent for such extraordinary services and reimburse the Escrow Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, occasioned by any such delay, controversy, litigation or event.  If any amount due to the Escrow Agent hereunder is not paid within 30 calendar days of the date due, the Escrow Agent in its sole discretion may charge ATI interest on such amount up to the highest rate permitted by applicable law.   The Escrow Agent is hereby granted the right to set off and deduct any unpaid fees from the final disbursement of the Escrow Property pursuant to the Escrow Release Instruction to the extent such amounts are not paid to the Escrow Agent within 30 days after written demand therefor.

Section 3.5.       Disagreements.  If any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, retain the Escrow Property until the Escrow Agent (i) receives a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final non-appealable arbitration decision directing delivery of the Escrow Property, (ii) receives a written agreement executed by each of the parties involved in such disagreement or dispute directing delivery of the Escrow Property, or (iii) files an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction, and upon the filing thereof, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability as to the Escrow Property and shall be entitled to recover reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such interpleader action.  Any such court order or arbitration decision shall be accompanied by a written instrument of the presenting Party certifying that such court order or arbitration decision is final, non-appealable and from a court of competent jurisdiction or from a competent arbitration panel, upon which instrument the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with any such agreement, court order or arbitration and is entitled to conclusively rely without further investigation. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act on any such agreement, court order, or arbitration decision without further question, inquiry, or consent.

Section 3.6.     Merger or Consolidation.  Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which the Escrow Agent is a party, shall be and become the successor escrow agent under this Escrow Agreement and shall have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.

Section 3.7.        Attachment of Escrow Property; Compliance with Legal Orders.  In the event that any Escrow Property shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to respond as it deems appropriate or to comply with all writs, orders or decrees so entered or issued, or which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction.  In the event that the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such writ, order or decree it shall not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other person, firm or corporation, should, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding, such writ, order or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.  The Escrow Agent shall further have no obligation to pursue any action that is not in accordance with applicable law.

Section 3.8        Force Majeure.  The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligation under this Escrow Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; wars; acts of terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemic; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental action; it being understood that the Escrow Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

-3-
(c)         Except as specifically amended hereby, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents or in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents.  This Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement shall not constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  This Agreement and the Amended Parent Loan Guaranty shall not constitute a novation of the Existing Parent Loan Guaranty.

(c)          This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  It is understood and agreed that, subject to any Requirement of Law, the words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to any Loan Document shall be deemed to include any Electronic Signature, delivery or the keeping of any record in electronic form, each of which shall have the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system 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 similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.15(b) hereof, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amount, a “Fixed Amount”) substantially concurrently with any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.15(b), any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amount, an “Incurrence-Based Amount”), it is understood and agreed that (i) any Fixed Amount shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the relevant Incurrence-Based Amount, (ii) except as provided in clause (i), pro forma effect shall be given to the entire transaction and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, all Indebtedness substantially concurrently incurred will be included for purposes of calculating compliance with Sections 6.04(a)(xi), 6.04(a)(xii), 6.04(a)(xiii), 6.04(b)(vii), 6.06(bb) and clause (a)(ii) of the Available Amount (in each case, giving pro forma effect to the intended use of proceeds thereof).  The Borrower may elect that any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on one or more of any Incurrence-Based Amount or any Fixed Amount in its sole discretion; provided, that unless the Borrower elects otherwise and except as set forth in the definition of “Incremental Cap”, each such amount or transaction shall be deemed incurred, entered into or consummated first under any Incurrence-Based Amount to the maximum extent permitted thereunder.
 
(d)         The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Borrower dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
(e)         The increase in any amount secured by any Lien by virtue of the accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or a dividend in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and/or any increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of any fluctuation in the exchange rate of any applicable currency will not be deemed to be the granting of a Lien for purposes of Section 6.02.
 
(f)          With respect to any pro forma calculation that is required to be made in connection with any acquisition or similar Investment in respect of which financial statements for the applicable target are not available for the same Test Period for which financial statements of the Borrower are available, the Borrower shall make the relevant calculation on the basis of the relevant available financial statements (even if for differing periods) or such other commercially reasonable basis as the Borrower may elect.
 
(g)          Any determination of the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Indebtedness shall be made by the Borrower in good faith at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness.
 
Section 1.12.       Benchmark Replacement Setting. 

(a)         Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (i) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
 
77
(b)        Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right (in consultation with the Borrower) to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
(c)          Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent and/or the Borrower or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 1.12, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.12.
 
(d)        Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
 
(e)         Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a SOFR Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a SOFR Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event.  During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.  Furthermore, if any SOFR Benchmark Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a relevant rate applicable to such SOFR Benchmark Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 1.12, any SOFR Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan.

Section 1.13.       [Reserved].
 
Section 1.14.       Certain Determinations.
 
(a)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, if, after delivery of any Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(c), it is subsequently determined that the Secured Net Leverage Ratio set forth in such Compliance Certificate is inaccurate for any reason and the result of such inaccuracy is that the Lenders received any amount of interest or any fee for any relevant period based on an Applicable Rate or Commitment Fee Rate or payment of principal based on the Required Excess Cash Flow Percentage that is greater than or less than the amount that would have applied if the Secured Net Leverage Ratio set forth in such Compliance Certificate had been accurately reported, then, for all purposes under this Agreement, (i) in the case of the Applicable Rate and the Commitment Fee Rate, the Applicable Rate and the Commitment Fee Rate for each day during the relevant period shall be revised to be based upon the accurately determined Secured Net Leverage Ratio and, in such event, any shortfall in the amount of any applicable interest payment shall be due and payable within five Business Days following the date on which the Borrower becomes aware of the relevant inaccuracy and (ii) in the case of the Required Excess Cash Flow Percentage, any shortfall in the amount of any applicable principal payment shall be due and payable within five Business Days following the date on which the Borrower becomes aware of the relevant inaccuracy.  In the event that (A) any inaccuracy in the calculation of the Secured Net Leverage Ratio resulted in a shortfall in the amount of any required interest or principal payment and (B) such inaccuracy resulted from a good faith mistake on the part of the Borrower in the preparation of such calculation, no Default or Event of Default shall arise under this Agreement with respect thereto unless the relevant amount has not been paid within the period described in the preceding sentence.
 
(b)        (i) With respect to determination of the permissibility of any transaction by Holdings, the Borrower and/or any subsidiary under this Agreement, the delivery by the Borrower of a third party valuation report from (1) a nationally recognized accounting, appraisal, investment banking or consulting firm or (2) another firm that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Representative, in each case, shall be conclusive with respect to the value of the assets covered thereby and (ii) any determination of whether an action is taken “in the ordinary course of business” or “in a manner consistent with past practice” (or, in either case, any similar expression) shall be made by the Borrower in good faith.
 
(c)          It is understood and agreed for the avoidance of doubt that the carve-outs from the provisions of Article 6 may include items or activities that are not restricted by the relevant provision.
 
Section 1.15.       Conflicts.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any term or provision of this Agreement (excluding the Exhibits hereto) and any term or provision of any Exhibit to this Agreement, the term or provision of this Agreement shall govern, and the Borrower shall be entitled to make such revisions to the relevant term or provision of the applicable Exhibit to ensure that such term or provision is consistent with the corresponding term or provision of this Agreement.
 
Section 1.16.    Confidentiality; Privilege.  Notwithstanding any obligation to provide information under any Loan Document or allow the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any third party to access or inspect the books and records of Holdings or its subsidiaries or otherwise as set forth in this Agreement, neither Holdings nor any of its subsidiaries will be required to disclose or permit the inspection or discussion of, any document, information or other matter (a) that constitutes a non-financial trade secret or non-financial proprietary information, (b) in respect of which disclosure to Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives, agents or contractors) would result in a breach of any confidentiality obligation, fiduciary duty or Requirement of Law and/or (c) that is subject to attorney client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product (provided, that such confidentiality obligations were not entered into in contemplation of the requirements of this Section 1.16); provided, that in the event that such information has not been provided in reliance on clause (b) and/or (c) above, notice that information is being withheld must be provided to the Administrative Agent.

(a)          Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class.  Each Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in Section 2.04.
 
80
(b)        Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or SOFR Benchmark Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any SOFR Benchmark Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) such SOFR Benchmark Loan shall be deemed to have been made and held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such SOFR Benchmark Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender and (iii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.15 shall apply); provided, further, that no such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender shall be entitled to any greater indemnification under Section 2.17 in respect of any U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to such SOFR Benchmark Loan than that to which the applicable Lender was entitled on the date on which such Loan was made (except in connection with any indemnification entitlement arising as a result of any Change in Law after the date on which such Loan was made).
 
(c)          At the commencement of each Interest Period for any SOFR Benchmark Borrowing, such SOFR Benchmark Borrowing shall comprise an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $250,000.  Each ABR Borrowing when made shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000 and in an integral multiple of $50,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing may be made in a lesser aggregate amount that is (x) equal to the entire aggregate unused Revolving Credit Commitments or (y) required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e).  Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided, that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 15 different Interest Periods in effect for SOFR Benchmark Borrowings at any time outstanding (or such greater number of different Interest Periods as the Administrative Agent may agree from time to time).
 
(d)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not, nor shall it be entitled to, request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable to the relevant Loans.
 
Section 2.03.     Requests for Borrowings.  Each Term Loan Borrowing, each Revolving Loan Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of SOFR Benchmark Loans shall be made upon irrevocable notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (provided that notices in respect of Term Loan Borrowings and/or the Revolving Loan Borrowing to be made in connection with any acquisition, investment or irrevocable repayment or redemption of Indebtedness may be conditioned on the closing of such Permitted Acquisition, permitted Investment or permitted irrevocable repayment or redemption of Indebtedness).  Each such notice must be in the form of a written Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and must be received by the Administrative Agent (by hand delivery, fax or other electronic transmission (including “.pdf” or “.tif”)) not later than (a) in the case of any Term Loan Borrowing, 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the requested day of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Benchmark Loans or any Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans (or one Business Day in the case of any Borrowing of SOFR Benchmark Loans to be made on the Closing Date) (or such later time as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (b) in the case of any Revolving Loan, (i) 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the requested day of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Benchmark Loans (or one Business Day in the case of any Borrowing of SOFR Benchmark Loans to be made on the Closing Date) and (ii) 9:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested day of any Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans (other than Swingline Loans) (or, in each case, such later time as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request SOFR Benchmark Loans having an Interest Period of other than one, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” (A) the applicable notice from the Borrower must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. five Business Days prior to the requested date of the relevant Borrowing (or such later time as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is available to them and (B) not later than 12:00 p.m. three Business Days before the requested date of the relevant Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower whether or not the requested Interest Period is available to the appropriate Lenders.
 
81
          If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Benchmark Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  The Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details and amount of any Loan to be made as part of the relevant requested Borrowing (x) in the case of any ABR Borrowing, on the same Business Day of receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section or (y) in the case of any SOFR Benchmark Borrowing, no later than one Business Day following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section.
 
Section 2.04.       Swingline Loans.
 
(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time after the Closing Date and until the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $10,000,000; provided that (x) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan and (y) after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and LC Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.  Each Swingline Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of not less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as may be agreed by the Swingline Lender; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is (x) equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate unused Revolving Credit Commitments or (y) required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e).  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Swingline Loans may be borrowed, prepaid and reborrowed.  To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such request by delivery of a written Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan.  The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on the same Business Day by means of a credit to the account designated in the related Borrowing Request or otherwise in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower (including, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank).
 
(b)          The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations on the second Business Day following receipt of such notice in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans.  Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by effecting a wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participation in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.04(b), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.  Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower in respect of any Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of any sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent, and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and thereafter to the Borrower, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
 
82
(c)          If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04 by the time specified in Section 2.04(b), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving 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 the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(d)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Barclays may, upon ten days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Swingline Lender, which resignation shall be effective as of the date referenced in such notice (but in no event less than ten days after the delivery of such written notice).  In the event of any such resignation, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint any Revolving Lender that is willing to accept such appointment as successor Swingline Lender hereunder.  Upon the acceptance of any such appointment, the successor Swingline Lender shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender, and the retiring Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations in such capacity hereunder.  In the event that the successor Swingline Lender resigns, the Borrower shall promptly repay all outstanding Swingline Loans on the effective date of such resignation (which repayment may be effectuated with the proceeds of a Borrowing).
 
Section 2.05.       Letters of Credit.
 
(a)          General.
 
(i)          Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Issuing Bank agrees, in each case in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the fifth Business Day prior to the Latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date, upon the request of the Borrower, to issue Letters of Credit issued on sight basis only for the account of the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries (provided that the Borrower will be the applicant) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.05(b), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit, and (ii) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.05(d).
 
83

(B)            the issuance of such Letter of Credit would not violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable generally to all letters of credit issued by it;

(e)          Reimbursement.
 
85
(i)          If the applicable Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Commercial Letters of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank) an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than (A) if the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement under paragraph (g) of this Section before 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the date on which the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement or (B) if the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement under paragraph (g) of this Section after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, not later than 2:00 p.m. two Business Days after the date on which the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that the Borrower may, without satisfying the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing (any such Revolving Loan Borrowing, a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Loan”) in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower may also request a Swingline Loan to reimburse such LC Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.04, subject, in the case of any such Swingline Loan, to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02).  If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.
 
(ii)        If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(d) by the time specified therein, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving 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 Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(f)          Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute and unconditional and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
 
86
(g)         Disbursement Procedures.  The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by electronic means upon any LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that no failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
 
(h)         Interim Interest.  If any Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, unless the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement (or the date on which such LC Disbursement is reimbursed with the proceeds of Loans, as applicable), at the rate per annum then applicable to Initial Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans (or, to the extent of the participation in such LC Disbursement by any Revolving Lender of another Class, the rate per annum then applicable to the Revolving Loans of such other Class); provided that if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable on the date on which the Borrower is required to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full (and, thereafter, on demand).
 
(i)          Replacement or Resignation of an Issuing Bank or Designation of New Issuing Banks.
 
(i)          Any Issuing Bank may be replaced with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement becomes effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(ii).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.  The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the relevant Revolving Lender, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement.  Any Revolving Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (i) who agrees in writing to such designation shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Revolving Lender.
 
87
(ii)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Issuing Bank may, upon ten days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, each other Issuing Bank and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank, which resignation shall be effective as of the date referenced in such notice (but in no event less than ten days after the delivery of such written notice); it being understood that in the event of any such resignation, any Letter of Credit then outstanding shall remain outstanding (irrespective of whether any amounts have been drawn at such time).  In the event of any such resignation as an Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint any Revolving Lender that accepts such appointment in writing as successor Issuing Bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Issuing Bank hereunder, the successor Issuing Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations in such capacity hereunder.
 
(j)          Cash Collateralization.
 
(i)          If any Event of Default exists and the Loans have been declared due and payable in accordance with Article 7 hereof, then on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Revolving Lenders demanding the deposit of Cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph (i), the Borrower shall deposit, in an interest-bearing account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in Cash equal to 100% of the LC Exposure as of such date (minus the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account); provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(f) or (g).
 
(ii)         Any such deposit under clause (i) above shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (j).  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account, and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in the LC Collateral Account.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders) be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower promptly but in no event later than three Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
 
Section 2.06.       [Reserved].
 
Section 2.07.       Funding of Borrowings.
 
88
(a)          Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder not later than  (i) 1:00 p.m., in the case of SOFR Rate Loans, and (ii) 2:00 p.m., in the case of ABR Loans, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Request by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by wire transfer of the amounts so received on the same Business Day, in like funds, to the account designated in the relevant Borrowing Request or as otherwise directed by the Borrower; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.
 
(b)       Unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of any Borrowing prior to the proposed date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if any Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing at such time.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall cease.  If the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing by such amount.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower or any other Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
 
Section 2.08.       Type; Interest Elections.
 
(a)        Each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of any Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.  Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders based upon their Applicable Percentages and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.  This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.
 
(b)          To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver an Interest Election Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower of the applicable election to the Administrative Agent.
 
(c)          If any such Interest Election Request requests a Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
 
(d)          Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
 
89
(e)          If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of such Interest Period to Benchmark Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default exists and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default exists (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Benchmark Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto.
 
Section 2.09.       Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
 
(a)          Unless previously terminated, (i) the Initial Term Loan Commitments on the Closing Date shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date, (ii) the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (iii) the Additional Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Additional Term Loans of such Class and, if any such Additional Term Loan Commitment is not drawn on the date that such Additional Term Loan Commitment is required to be drawn pursuant to the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, the undrawn amount thereof shall automatically terminate and (iv) the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date specified therefor in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment.
 
(b)        Upon delivery of the notice required by Section 2.09(c), the Borrower may at any time terminate or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class; provided that, after the establishment of any Additional Revolving Credit Commitment, any such termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.22, 2.23 and/or 9.02, as applicable.
 
(c)        The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Revolving Credit Commitment under paragraph (b) of this Section in writing at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such later date to which the Administrative Agent may agree), specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Lenders of each applicable Class of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be permanent.  Upon any reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitment, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Lender of the relevant Class shall be reduced by such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount.
 
Section 2.10.       Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
 
(a)        (I)      The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the remainder of the principal amount of such Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date, together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.
 
90
(ii)         The Borrower shall repay the Additional Term Loans of any Class in such scheduled amortization installments and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement or Extension Amendment (as such payments may be reduced from time to time as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.11 or repurchases in accordance with Section 9.05(g) or increased as a result of any increase in the amount of such Additional Term Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 2.22(a)).

(f)         The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (d) or (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein (absent manifest error); provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any manifest error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section and any Lender’s records, the accounts of the Administrative Agent shall govern; provided, further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any other accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Register shall govern.

(B)          the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) to the extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any joint venture or the relevant Subject Proceeds are received by any joint venture, in each case, for so long as the distribution to the Borrower of such Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds would be prohibited under the Organizational Documents governing such joint venture; it being understood that if the relevant prohibition ceases to exist within the 365-day period following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds, the relevant joint venture will promptly distribute the relevant Excess Cash Flow or the relevant Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, and the distributed Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such distribution) applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (iv)), and
 
94
(C)          if the Borrower determines in good faith that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) to the Borrower, directly or indirectly, from a Foreign Subsidiary as a distribution or dividend of any amounts required to mandatorily prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) above would reasonably be expected to result in a material and adverse Tax liability (including any withholding Tax) (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), the amount that the Borrower shall be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant to Sections 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) above, as applicable, shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount; provided that to the extent that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) of the relevant Subject Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, directly or indirectly, from the relevant Foreign Subsidiary would no longer be reasonably expected to have a material adverse tax consequence within the 365-day period following the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds or the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period, as the case may be, an amount equal to the Subject Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable and to the extent available, not previously applied pursuant to this clause (C), shall be promptly applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) as otherwise required above;
 
(v)        Any Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11(b), to decline all (but not a portion) of its Applicable Percentage of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”); provided that for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made under Section 2.11(b)(iii) above to the extent that such prepayment is made with the Net Proceeds of Incremental Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.22.  If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to decline receipt of its Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.
 
(vi)      Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or provided in, or intended with respect to, any Incremental Facility Amendment or any Extension Amendment (provided, that such Incremental Facility Amendment or Extension Amendment may not provide that the applicable Class of Term Loans receive a greater than pro rata portion of mandatory prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) than would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement), in each case effectuated or issued in a manner consistent with this Agreement, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding which is pari passu with the Initial Term Loans in right of payment and with respect to security (provided that any prepayment of Term Loans with the Net Proceeds of any Incremental Term Facility shall be applied to the applicable Class of Term Loans being refinanced or replaced).  With respect to each relevant Class of Term Loans, all accepted prepayments under this Section 2.11(b) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower, and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class.  If no Lender exercises the right to waive a prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(v), the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to the then outstanding Term Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof and then to the then outstanding Term Loans that are SOFR Benchmark Loans.
 
95
(vii)      (a) In the event that the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days of receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans and/or reduce LC Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Revolving Credit Exposure as of the date of such payment to an amount not to exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect by taking any of the following actions as it shall determine at its sole discretion: (x) prepaying Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans or (y) with respect to any excess LC Exposure, depositing Cash in a Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank or “backstopping” or replacing the relevant Letters of Credit, in each case, in an amount equal to 100% of such excess LC Exposure (minus any amount then on deposit in any Cash collateral account established for the benefit of the relevant Issuing Bank).
 
(B)          Each prepayment of any Revolving Loan Borrowing under this Section 2.11(b)(vii) shall be paid to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class.
 
(viii)     Prepayments made under this Section 2.11(b) shall be (A) accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.13 (which shall be netted in the calculation of the applicable prepayment amount) and (B) in the case of prepayments of Initial Term Loans under clause (iii), subject to Section 2.12(f), but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

(b)         The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender of any Class a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans of such Class that are SOFR Benchmark Loans on the daily face amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class (excluding any portion thereof that is attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to the earlier of (A) the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class and (B) the Termination Date, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the earlier of (A) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (B) the date on which such Letter of Credit terminates or (C) the Termination Date, computed at a rate equal to the rate agreed by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower (but in any event not to exceed 0.125% per annum) of the daily face amount of such Letter of Credit, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Participation fees and fronting fees shall accrue to but excluding the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and be payable in arrears for the quarterly period then ended on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter (commencing, if applicable, with the last Business Day of the first full Fiscal Quarter after the Closing Date); provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate, and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of a written demand (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation) therefor.

(f)          (1) In the event that, prior to the third anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date, (i) the Borrower prepays any Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) (it being understood and agreed for the avoidance of doubt that payments as a result of assignments made to Affiliated Lenders pursuant to Section 9.05(g) shall not be subject to this Section 2.12(f)), (ii) the Borrower prepays or refinances any Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(iii) or (iii) the Initial Term Loans are accelerated in accordance with Article 7, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Initial Term Lenders (including any Non-Consenting Lender whose Initial Term Loans are repaid, replaced or assigned pursuant to Section 2.19(b)(iv)) a prepayment premium equal to the amount set forth opposite the relevant period from the Closing Date as indicated below:
 
 
Period

3.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans being prepaid
 
On and after the third anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date
  
0.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans being prepaid

(2)         In the event that, prior to the second anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower prepays in any Fiscal Year any Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii) in an aggregate amount exceeding $40,000,000 in such Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Initial Term Lenders a prepayment premium equal to the amount set forth opposite the relevant period from the Closing Date as indicated below:

97
               The foregoing premiums in clauses (1) (including the Make-Whole Amount) and (2) of this clause (f) are referred to as the “Prepayment Premium”.  All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of the relevant prepayment or acceleration pursuant to Sections 2.11(a)(i), 2.11(b)(ii), 2.11(b)(iii) or Article 7, as applicable.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Premium shall be payable hereunder in connection with any prepayment or repayment of Initial Term Loans (or any acceleration thereof) on or after the third anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date (in the case of sub-clause (1) above) or the second anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date (in the case of sub-clause (2) above).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Initial Term Loans are accelerated and become due prior to their maturity date in respect of any Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the amount of principal of and premium on the Initial Term Loans that becomes due and payable shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans plus the Prepayment Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s loss as a result thereof.  Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing.  THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION.  The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.
 
(g)         Unless otherwise indicated herein, all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(a)          the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period; or
 
(b)          the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders in writing that the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
 
then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, which the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to do, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Benchmark Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Benchmark Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
 
Section 2.15.        Increased Costs.
 
(a)          If any Change in Law:
 
(i)          imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate) or Issuing Bank;
 
(ii)         subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.17 and (B) Excluded Taxes) on or with respect to its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
 
(iii)      imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or SOFR Benchmark Loans made by any Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the relevant Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Benchmark Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any SOFR Benchmark Loan or Letter of Credit in an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (x) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (y) such Lender invokes Section 2.20 or (z) in the case of requests for reimbursement under clause (iii) above resulting from a market disruption, (A) the relevant circumstances do not generally affect the banking market or (B) the applicable request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders.
 
100
(b)          If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that, subject to the last sentence of the definition of “Change of Law”, the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto.
 
(c)          Any Lender or Issuing Bank requesting compensation under this Section 2.15 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrower that (i) sets forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or the holding company thereof, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (ii) sets forth, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (iii) certifies that such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(d)          Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
 
Section 2.16.       [Reserved].
 
Section 2.17.       Taxes.
 
(a)         Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Requirements of Law.  If any applicable Requirement of Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax and/or Other Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) each Lender (or, in the case of any payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deduction or withholding and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
 
(b)        In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
 
101
(c)         The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 30 days after receipt of the certificate described in the succeeding sentence, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17), other than any penalties determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (or documented in any settlement agreement) to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and, in each case, any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which shall be repaid to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17(g)) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, result in any additional out-of-pocket costs or expenses not reimbursed by such Loan Party or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable.  In connection with any request for reimbursement under this Section 2.17(c), the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the amount of the relevant payment or liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any amount to the extent the Administrative Agent or such Lender fails to notify the Borrower of such possible indemnification claim within 180 days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives written notice from the applicable taxing authority of the specific tax assessment giving rise to such indemnification claim.
 
(d)          [Reserved].
 
(e)          As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.17 by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued, if any, by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
 
(f)          Status of Lenders.
 
(i)          Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding Tax with respect to any 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 as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of 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.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17(f).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section 2.17) 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.
 
102
(ii)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
 
(A)           each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two copies of executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;
 
(B)           each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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 any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party, two copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing any available exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax;
 
 (2)          two copies of executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms);
 
 (3)          in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) two copies of an executed 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 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments payable to such Lender are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms); or
 
(4)           to the extent any Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (e.g., where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender), two copies of executed IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O-2, Exhibit O-3 or Exhibit O-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) 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 or indirect partner(s);
 
(C)          each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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), two copies of any other executed form prescribed by applicable Requirements of 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 Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
 
103
(D)          if a payment made to any 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 applicable Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation as is prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.
 
              For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender is an entity disregarded from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, references to the foregoing documentation are intended to refer to documentation with respect to such Lender’s owner and, as applicable, such Lender.  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 documentation (including any specific documentation required above in this Section 2.17(f)) it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.
 
(g)        If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (whether received in cash or applied as a credit against any cash taxes payable) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (g) to the extent that the payment thereof would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section 2.17 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant Loan Party or any other Person.
 
(h)          Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
 
(i)          Definition of “Lender”.        For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for all purposes of this Section 2.17, include any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
 
104
(j)          Certain Documentation.      On or before the date the Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower whichever of the following is applicable: (i) if the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding or (ii) if the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, (A) with respect to payments received for its own account, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (together with all required accompanying documentation) certifying that the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and may be treated as a United States person for purposes of applicable U.S. federal withholding Tax.  At any time thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(j), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to provide any documentation that the Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a Change in Law after the Closing Date.
 
Section 2.18.        Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments.
 
(a)          Unless otherwise specified, including as set forth in Sections 2.13(a), (b) and (e) hereof, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, reimbursements of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim.  Any amount received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, except that any payment made pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.17 or 9.03 shall be made directly to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  Except as provided in Sections 2.19(b) and 2.20, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest in respect of the Loans of a given Class and each conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of any Type (and of the same Class) shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class.  Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.  All payments hereunder (including payments in kind) shall be made in Dollars.  Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.
 
(b)          (I)          During the continuance of any Waterfall/Voting Triggering Event, upon an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01 (f) or (g) or delivery of a Waterfall Triggering Notice, so long as such Waterfall Triggering Notice has not been withdrawn, and (II) after any of the Obligations have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01 any amounts received on account of the Obligations (including all proceeds of Collateral) in accordance with the terms hereof (which amounts so received by the Administrative Agent shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations with respect to such amounts notwithstanding that the order of application set forth below may differ from the application required with respect to such payment by the relevant section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that gives rise to the payment of such amount) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
 
105
(i)          first, to the payment of all costs and expenses then due incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any collection, sale or realization on Collateral or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party or any Parent Loan Guarantor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
 
(ii)         second, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent (other than those covered in clause first above) or to the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank from the Borrower constituting Secured Obligations,
 
(iii)      third, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amounts of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has yet been made) owed to the Revolving Lenders on the date of any such distribution, to (A) the payment in full of such Secured Obligations (including, with respect to LC Exposure, an amount to be paid to the Administrative Agent equal to 100% of the LC Exposure (minus the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account) on such date, to be held in the LC Collateral Account as Cash collateral for such Obligations) and in the case of payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans, together with a concurrent permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, and (B) all Banking Services Obligations and all Secured Hedging Obligations in an amount under this clause (B) not to exceed the Maximum Revolving Lender Cash Management/Secured Hedge Amount; provided that if any Letter of Credit expires undrawn, then any Cash collateral held to secure the related LC Exposure shall be applied in accordance with this Section 2.18(b), beginning with clause first above,
 
(iv)       fourth, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amounts of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has yet been made) owed to the Secured Parties (other than the Revolving Lenders) on the date of any such distribution, to the payment in full of such Secured Obligations,
 
(v)          fifth, as provided in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and
 
(vi)         sixth, to, or at the direction of, the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
 
(c)          If any Lender obtains payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of any Class or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for Cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class and sub-participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans of other Lenders of such Class at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any permitted assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed made in connection with Sections 2.22 or 2.23, and/or Section 9.05.  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.  The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.18(c) and will, in each case, notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.  Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) shall from and after the date of 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.  For purposes of subclause (c) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, any Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) and/or Loan(s) to which such participation relates.
 
106
(d)       Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
 
(e)          If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b) or Section 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
 
Section 2.19.       Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
 
(a)        If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or determines it can no longer make or maintain SOFR Benchmark Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, or any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the impact of Section 2.20, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
 
107
(b)          If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or determines it can no longer make or maintain SOFR Benchmark Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, (ii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iv) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender”, “each Revolving Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby” (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which Required Lender or Required Revolving Lender consent (or the consent of Lenders holding loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total loans and unused commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, any Lender is a non-consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender, and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date (provided that, if, after giving effect such termination and repayment, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect, then the Borrower shall, not later than the next Business Day, prepay one or more Revolving Loan Borrowings of the applicable Class or Swingline Loans (and, if no Revolving Loan Borrowings of such Class are outstanding, deposit Cash collateral in the LC Collateral Account) in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess) or (y) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that assumes such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such Lender has received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, in each case of such Class of Loans and/or Commitments, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under any Loan Document with respect to such Class of Loans and/or Commitments, (B) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment would result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (C) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law.  No Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation, and the Borrower may not repay the Obligations of such Lender or terminate its Commitments, in each case, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement to evidence such sale and purchase and deliver to the Administrative Agent any Promissory Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes) subject to such Assignment Agreement (provided that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19 to execute an Assignment Agreement or deliver any such Promissory Note shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid), such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and any such Promissory Note shall be deemed cancelled.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment Agreement or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (b).
 
Section 2.20.      Illegality.  If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SOFR Benchmark Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Benchmark Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender, shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly).  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from the relevant Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all of such Lender’s SOFR Benchmark Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate) either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Benchmark Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Benchmark Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.  Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
 
108
Section 2.21.          Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Person becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Person is a Defaulting Lender:
 
(a)          Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of any Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement or other Loan Document.
 
(b)          The Commitments and the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, each affected Lender, the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or such other number of Lenders as may be required hereby or under any other Loan Document have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately and adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
 
(c)          Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.15, Section 2.17, Section 2.18, Article 7, Section 9.05 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent and, where relevant, the Borrower as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any applicable Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, to be held as Cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, as the Borrower may request, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, as the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may elect, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the non-Defaulting Lenders, Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non-Defaulting Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Exposure in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loan or LC Exposure was made or created, as applicable, at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Exposure owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Exposure owed to, such Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to any Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by any Defaulting Lender or to post Cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
 
109
(d)          If any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
 
(i)         the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders under the Revolving Facility (the “Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all non-Defaulting Lenders attributable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class does not exceed the total of the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders of such Class and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender that is attributable to its Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class;
 
(ii)          if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Requirements of Law, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash collateralize 100% of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and any obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund participations in any Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to paragraph (i) above and any Cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender or pursuant to Section 2.21(c) above) or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank and/or the Swingline Lender with respect to such LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans and obligations to fund participations.  Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce LC Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (A) the elimination of the applicable LC Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 2.19)) or (B) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash collateral (including as a result of any subsequent reallocation of Swingline Loans and LC Exposure among non-Defaulting Lender described in clause (i) above);
 
(iii)       if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(d), then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and (b), as the case may be, shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and
 
(iv)        if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not Cash collateralized, prepaid or reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash collateralized or reallocated.
 
(e)          So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall now be required to fund any Swingline Loan, and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, create, incur, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders, Cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.21(c) and/or Cash collateral provided in accordance with Section 2.21(d), and participating interests in any such or newly issued, extended or created Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(d)(i) (it being understood that Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).
 
110
(f)          In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class of the other Revolving Lenders or participations in Revolving Loans of the applicable Class as the Administrative Agent determine as necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans or participations in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class or its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (x) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (y) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
 
Section 2.22.       Incremental Credit Extensions.
 
(a)         The Borrower may, at any time, on one or more occasions pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment (i) add one or more new Classes of term facilities and/or increase the principal amount of the Term Loans of any existing Class by requesting new commitments to provide such Term Loans (any such new Class or increase, an “Incremental Term Facility” and any loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (ii) increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Facilities”; and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans” and any Incremental Revolving Loans, together with any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Cap; provided that:
 
(i)          no Incremental Commitment in respect of any Incremental Term Facility may be in an amount that is less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount to which the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree),
 
(ii)      except as the Borrower and any Lender may separately agree, no Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Commitment, and the determination to provide any Incremental Commitment shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender (it being agreed that the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer the opportunity to any Lender to participate in any Incremental Facility except to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.22(b)),
 
(iii)        no Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (nor the creation, provision or implementation thereof) shall require the approval of any existing Lender other than in its capacity, if any, as a lender providing all or part of any Incremental Commitment or Incremental Loan,
 
(iv)      except as otherwise permitted herein (including with respect to margin, pricing, maturity and fees), (A) the terms of any Incremental Term Facility, if not substantially consistent with those applicable to any then-existing Term Loans, must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Representative (it being agreed that any terms contained in such Incremental Term Facility (x) which are applicable only after the then-existing Latest Term Loan Maturity Date and/or (y) that are more favorable to the lenders or the agent of such Incremental Term Facility than those contained in the Loan Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Term Lenders, Revolving Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, pursuant to the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment shall be deemed satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Representative) and (B) the terms of any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be identical to any then-existing Revolving Facility,
 
111
(v)          the Effective Yield (and the components thereof) applicable to any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lender or lenders providing such Incremental Facility; provided that the Effective Yield applicable to any Incremental Term Facility which is pari passu with the Initial Term Loans in right of payment and with respect to security may not be more than 0.50% higher than the Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans unless the Applicable Rate (and/or, as provided in the proviso below, the Alternate Base Rate floor or Term SOFR floor) with respect to the Initial Term Loans is adjusted such that the Effective Yield on the Initial Term Loans is not more than 0.50% per annum less than the Effective Yield with respect to such Incremental Facility; provided, further, that any increase in Effective Yield applicable to any Initial Term Loan due to the application or imposition of an Alternate Base Rate floor or Term SOFR floor on any Incremental Term Loan may, at the election of the Borrower, be effected through an increase in the Alternate Base Rate floor or Term SOFR floor applicable to such Initial Term Loan,
 
(vi)        the final maturity date with respect to any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that if such Incremental Term Loans are secured by a lien on the Collateral that is junior to the lien securing the Secured Obligations or if such Incremental Term Loans are unsecured, the final maturity date with respect to such Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the date that is ninety-one (91) days after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date,
 
(vii)      the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then-existing tranche of Term Loans (without giving effect to any prepayment thereof); it being understood and agreed that no Incremental Term Facility shall have scheduled amortization due prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date,
 
(viii)     subject to clauses (vi) and (vii) above, any Incremental Term Facility may otherwise have an amortization schedule as determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility,
 
(ix)      subject to clause (v) above, to the extent applicable, any fees payable in connection with any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the arrangers and/or lenders providing such Incremental Facility,
 
(x)        (A) any Incremental Term Facility may rank pari passu with or junior to any then-existing tranche of Term Loans, in right of payment and/or security (for the avoidance of doubt, no such Incremental Term Facility may be pari passu with or senior to the Revolving Facility in right of payment and/or security) or may be unsecured (and to the extent the relevant Incremental Facility is secured or subordinated in right of payment to any then-existing tranche of Term Loans, it shall be subject to an Intercreditor Agreement), (B) no Incremental Facility may be (x) guaranteed by any Person which is not a Loan Party or a Parent Loan Guarantor or (y) secured by any assets other than the Collateral and (C) each Term Lender under any Incremental Term Facility shall become a party to the AAL to the extent not then already a party thereto,
 
(xi)        any Incremental Term Facility may participate (A) in any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(a)(i) and (B) in any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(b)(vi), in each case, to the extent provided in such Sections,
 
(xii)    no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Incremental Facility; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Incremental Facility incurred in connection with any acquisition, Investment or irrevocable repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, no Event of Default under Sections 7.01(a), (f) or (g) shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Incremental Facility,
 
112
(xiii)     the proceeds of any Incremental Facility may be used for working capital and/or purchase price adjustments and other general corporate purposes (including capital expenditures, acquisitions and Investments); provided, that the proceeds of any Incremental Term Facility may not be used to make Restricted Payments and/or Restricted Debt Payments,
 
(xiv)     on the date of the Borrowing of any Incremental Term Loans that will be of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.08 or 2.13 above, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of, be of the same Type as and, at the election of the Borrower, have the same Interest Period as) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of such Borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate proportionately in each then-outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause (a)(xiv) may result in new Incremental Term Loans having Interest Periods (the duration of which may be less than one month) that begin during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding SOFR Benchmark Loans of the relevant Class and which end on the last day of such Interest Period,
 
(xv)       the aggregate amount of Incremental Revolving Facilities that may be established hereunder shall not exceed $10,000,000,
 
(xvi)     in no event may any Incremental Term Facility be provided (including by way of arrangement with any fronting bank) by any Person that is (A) a holder of Preferred Shares (or any Affiliate of such holder) or (B) a holder of any Second Lien PIK Notes or any other Specified Junior Debt (or an Affiliate of such holder) at the time of consummation of such Incremental Term Facility; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any such Person from acquiring, in any secondary market, the relevant Incremental Term Loans by assignment, participation or otherwise after the initial closing thereof (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.05(g)), and
 
(xvii)     Incremental Revolving Facilities shall be provided solely by commercial banks or investment banks.
 
(b)        (i) Prior to the Borrower issuing one or more Incremental Term Facilities, in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of $10,000,000 for all such Incremental Term Facilities, the Borrower shall first seek commitments in respect of such Incremental Term Facility (the “Offered Debt”) from the existing Initial Term Lenders (other than any existing Initial Term Lender that holds any Preferred Shares (or has an Affiliate that holds Preferred Shares) -at such time), each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to provide the applicable Incremental Commitments in its sole discretion, provided, that if any of the existing Initial Term Lenders have declined the offer to provide the Offered Debt, have failed to respond to the offer to provide the Offered Debt or have otherwise not provided a binding written commitment to provide the Offered Debt on the terms so offered (or at least as favorable as the terms so offered), in each case, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the offer to provide the Offered Debt from the Borrower (such 5th Business Day, the “Offer Deadline”), the Borrower may then seek Incremental Term Commitments on substantially the same terms from other Persons; and provided, further that if any such other Person is not then an existing Lender, such Person must constitute an “Eligible Assignee” and the Administrative Agent shall have a right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the relevant Person’s provision of Incremental Term Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 9.05(b) for an assignment of Loans to such New Lender and (ii) Incremental Revolving Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender, or by any other commercial bank or investment bank (other than any person that holds any Preferred Shares (or has an Affiliate that holds Preferred Shares) (any such lender an “Incremental Revolving Facility Lender”); ), provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any such Person from acquiring the relevant Incremental Term Loans by assignment, participation or otherwise after the initial closing thereof (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.05(g)); provided further that, the Administrative Agent (in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the Swingline Lender and any Issuing Bank) shall have the right to consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the new relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender’s provision of Incremental Revolving Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 9.05(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender.
 
113
(c)          Each Lender or Incremental Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Commitment.  To the extent any Incremental Lender is not a Lender, such Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Representative an executed acknowledgment to the AAL, substantially in the form of Exhibit A thereto.  On the effective date of such Incremental Commitment, each Incremental Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.
 
(d)          As conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility or the making of any Incremental Loans, (i) upon its request, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive customary written opinions of counsel, as well as such reaffirmation agreements, supplements and/or amendments as it shall reasonably require, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, from each Incremental Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Incremental Lender, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received, on behalf of the Incremental Lenders, the amount of any fees payable to the Incremental Lenders in respect of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans, (iv) subject to Section 2.22(h), the Administrative Agent shall have received a Borrowing Request as if the relevant Incremental Loans were subject to Section 2.03 or another written request the form of which is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being understood and agreed that the requirement to deliver a Borrowing Request shall not result in the imposition of any additional condition precedent to the availability of the relevant Incremental Loans) and (v) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive a certificate of the Borrower signed by a Responsible Officer thereof:
 
(A)          certifying and attaching a copy of the resolutions adopted by the governing body of the Borrower approving or consenting to such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans, and
 
(B)            to the extent applicable, certifying that the condition set forth in clause (a)(xii) above has been satisfied.
 
(e)          Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.22, any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be established as Revolving Credit Commitments of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender, and each relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Revolving Lenders’ (including each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender) (A) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans shall be held on a pro rata basis on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 2.22) and (ii) the existing Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class shall assign Revolving Loans to certain other Revolving Lenders of such Class (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility), and such other Revolving Lenders (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility) shall purchase such Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving Lenders of such Class participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.22); it being understood and agreed 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 this clause (i).
 
114
(f)         On the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit and/or the maximum amount of LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, permitted hereunder shall increase by an amount, if any, agreed upon by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank and/or the Swingline Lender, as applicable; it being understood and agreed that the Borrower and any Lender providing any Incremental Revolving Facility may agree that such Lender will provide a portion of the Letter of Credit Sublimit in excess of its Applicable Percentage thereof.
 
(g)       The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Amendment and/or any amendment to any other Loan Document as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.22.
 
(h)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, if the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are intended to be applied to finance an acquisition or other Investment and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility so agree, the availability thereof shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality.
 
(i)          This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provision in Sections 2.18 or 9.02 to the contrary.
 
(j)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, (i) in no event shall any Incremental Facility that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with the Lien on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations be established, or Incremental Loans be incurred, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) in addition to the consent required in clause (i), in no event shall any Incremental Revolving Facility be established without the prior written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders.
 
Section 2.23.        Extensions of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a)          The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Loan Party to, enforce its material rights under each Management Services Agreement, each Securities Transfer Restriction Agreement, each Therapy Director Agreement and each Practice Loan Agreement, in each case, where failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.19.       Cash Flow Consultant.  During the Cash Flow Reporting Period, the Borrower shall, if either (a) requested by the Lender Representative or (b) required at such time under the Second Lien Note Purchase Agreement, appoint and retain a Cash Flow Consultant.  The scope of services provided by, and cost of, such Cash Flow Consultant must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Lender Representative and the Borrower.

(e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Institution (nor any Affiliate thereof) may be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent.
 
Section 8.08.       Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent.  Each of each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each of each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties, the Parent Loan Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.
 
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Arranger shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, except in its respective capacity as a Lender hereunder.
 
Section 8.09.          Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  Each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall:
 
(a)          release (or evidence the release of) any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, (ii) that is sold or otherwise Disposed of (other than pursuant to a lease, sublease, license or sublicense) as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under (or not restricted by) the Loan Documents (subject to the last paragraph of Section 6.07), (iii) that does not constitute (or ceases to constitute) Collateral (and/or otherwise becomes an Excluded Asset), (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Loan Guaranty otherwise in accordance with the Loan Documents, (v) as required under clause (d) below, (vi) pursuant to the provisions of any applicable Loan Document or (vii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9.02;
 
174
(b)          subject to Section 9.22, release (or evidence the release of) any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty (i) if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or is an Excluded Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions not prohibited hereunder, including for the avoidance of doubt, any Permitted Practice Subsidiary Restructuring) and/or (ii) in the case of any Discretionary Guarantor, at the election of the Borrower, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at any time so long as, in the case of this clause (ii), after giving pro forma effect to such release and, if applicable, the relevant transaction, the Borrower is deemed to have made a new Investment in such Person (as if such Person was then newly acquired) on the date of such release and such Investment is not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents; provided that if any Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to constitute a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be released from its Loan Guaranty unless (A) such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower or (B) after giving pro forma effect to such release and the consummation of the relevant transaction, the Borrower is deemed to have made a new Investment in such Person (as if such Person was then newly acquired) and such Investment is not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents; it being understood that this proviso shall not limit the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor that otherwise constitutes an Excluded Subsidiary for any reason other than not constituting a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower (this proviso, the “Specified Guarantor Release Provision”);
 
(c)          subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 6.02(d), 6.02(e), 6.02(g)(i), 6.02(l), 6.02(m), 6.02(n), 6.02(o)(i) (other than any Lien on the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor), 6.02(q), 6.02(r) that are expressly included in this clause (c)), 6.02(x), 6.02(y), 6.02(z)(i), 6.02(bb), 6.02(cc), 6.02(dd) (in the case of clause (ii), to the extent the relevant Lien covers cash collateral posted to secure the relevant obligation), 6.02(ee), 6.02(ff), 6.02(gg) and/or 6.02(hh) (and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any thereof to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness is permitted to be secured under Section 6.02(k));
 
(d)          enter into subordination, intercreditor, collateral trust and/or similar agreements with respect to Indebtedness (including any Intercreditor Agreement and/or any amendment to any Intercreditor Agreement) that is (i) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder and/or (ii) secured by Liens, and with respect to which Indebtedness, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement, with each of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties irrevocably agreeing to the treatment of the Lien on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations as set forth in any such agreement and it will be bound by and will take no action contrary to the provisions of any such agreement; and
 
(e)          execute and/or deliver, as applicable, any amendment to any UCC financing statement and/or any other document evidencing the security interest granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents to indicate that Excluded Assets and/or other assets that do not constitute and are not required to constitute Collateral are not subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.
 
          Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders 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 Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to this Article 8 or any Parent Loan Guarantor from its obligations under the Parent Loan Guaranty or its Lien on any Collateral pursuant to Section 3.15 of the Parent Loan Guaranty.  In each case as specified in this Article 8, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender, and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party or the Parent Loan Guarantors may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, to subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Loan Party or the Parent Loan Guarantors from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Article 8; provided, that upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
175
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.09 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, each Lender and each other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, execute and deliver any instruments, documents, consents, acknowledgments, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence, effectuate or confirm the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor or Collateral or the subordination of any Lien pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.09 or the release of any Parent Loan Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.15 of the Parent Loan Guaranty.
 
          It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any other Loan Document and/or in the documentation governing any Hedge Agreement and/or any agreement governing Banking Services, (a) unless otherwise agreed to by the Borrower and any applicable counterparty to any agreement governing any Secured Hedging Obligation and/or any Banking Service, the obligations of Holdings, the Borrower or any subsidiary under any such agreement shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the Loan Guaranty only to the extent that, and for so long as, the Obligations are so secured and guaranteed and (b) any release of any Lien on any Collateral and/or any Loan Guarantor effected in a manner permitted by this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document shall not require the consent of any such counterparty.
 
Section 8.10.          Intercreditor Agreements.  The Administrative Agent is authorized by the Lenders and each other Secured Party to, and shall enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, any other Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement contemplated hereby with respect to any (a) Indebtedness (i) that is (A) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder and/or (B) secured by any Lien permitted hereunder and (ii) which contemplates an intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust or similar agreement and/or (b) Secured Hedging Obligations and/or Banking Services Obligations, whether or not constituting Indebtedness (any such other intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust and/or similar agreement, which intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust and/or similar agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to the Lender Representative and the Administrative Agent, an “Additional Agreement”), and the Secured Parties party hereto acknowledge that any Intercreditor Agreement and any other Additional Agreement is binding upon them.  Each Lender and each other Secured Party party hereto hereby (a) agrees that they will be bound by, and will not take any action contrary to, the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement or any other Additional Agreement and (b) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Additional Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations to the provisions thereof.  The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to extend credit to the Borrower, and the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Additional Agreement.
 
Section 8.11.         Indemnification of Administrative Agent.  To the extent that the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower in accordance with and to the extent required by Section 9.03(b) hereof, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any Affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
 
176
Section 8.12.          Withholding Taxes.  To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.  Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective).  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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph.  The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.  For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for all purposes of this paragraph, include any Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.
 
Section 8.13.         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 or any Parent Loan Guarantor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loans 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 Loan Parties and Parent Loan Guarantors) 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 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 Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03) 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 any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party 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 Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03.
 
177
Section 8.14.          Erroneous Payments.
 
(a)          If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), the Administrative Agent shall, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the payment of such Erroneous Payment to the Payment Recipient, notify the Payment Recipient and demand the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  If a Payment Recipient receives any payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise and does not receive a corresponding payment notice or payment advice from the Administrative Agent, such payment, prepayment or repayment shall be presumed to be in error absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary.
 
(b)          Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Article 8.
 
(c)          For so long as an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) has not been returned by any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”) to the Administrative Agent after demand therefor in accordance with clause (a) above, (i) the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion upon written notice to the relevant Lender or Secured Party, that all rights and claims of such Lender or Secured Party with respect to the Loans or other Obligations owed to such Person up to the amount of the corresponding Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency in respect of such Erroneous Payment (the “Corresponding Amount”) shall immediately vest in the Administrative Agent upon such election; after such election, with respect to Loans, the Administrative Agent (x) may reflect its ownership interest in the relevant Loans in a principal amount equal to the Corresponding Amount in the Register, and (y) upon five business days’ written notice to such Lender may sell such Loan (or portion thereof) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with Section 9.05 in respect of the Corresponding Amount, and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by such Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its behalf), and (ii) each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold such Loans, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party with respect to the relevant Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (determined after any reduction as a result of the vesting described in clause (i)) (it being understood and agreed that aggregate Obligations of the Loan Parties or the Parent Loan Guarantors shall not be increased as a result of the application of this clause (ii)).  For the avoidance of doubt, no vesting or sale pursuant to this clause (c) will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
(d)          The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or Parent Loan Guarantor, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party (or Parent Loan Guarantor) for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
 
178
(e)          No Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
 
(f)          Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the occurrence of the Termination Date.
 
(g)          This Section 8.14 shall not apply to the disbursement of any proceeds of a Loan to or at the express direction of the Borrower unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the Borrower.
 
(h)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Borrower, the Loan Parties and the Parent Loan Guarantors shall have no obligations or liabilities for any actions, consequences or remediation (including the repayment of any amounts) contemplated by this Section 8.14; provided that under no circumstances shall this Section 8.14(h) affect the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or any Parent Loan Guarantor’s obligations or liabilities with respect to any Obligations that remain outstanding.

(b)          Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures set forth herein or otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent or the Borrower (on behalf of any Loan Party or the Parent Loan Guarantors) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures set forth herein or otherwise approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.  All such notices and other communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that any such notice or communication not given during the normal business hours of the recipient shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient or (ii) posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (b)(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.
 
181
(c)         Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number or other notice information hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto; it being understood and agreed that the Borrower may provide any such notice to the Administrative Agent as recipient on behalf of itself, the Swingline Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Lender.
 
(d)          Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks materials and/or information provided by, or on behalf of, Holdings or the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material nonpublic information within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws with respect to Holdings, the Borrower or their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).  At the request of the Administrative Agent, each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC”, (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Holdings and the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as information of a type that would (A) customarily be made publicly available, as determined in good faith by the Borrower, if Holdings or the Borrower were to become public reporting companies or (B) would not be material with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, their respective subsidiaries, any of their respective securities or the Transactions as determined in good faith by the Borrower for purposes of the United States federal securities laws and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be required to treat Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC,” unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material nonpublic information (it being understood that the Borrower shall have a reasonable opportunity to review the same prior to distribution and comply with SEC or other applicable disclosure obligations): (1) the Loan Documents, (2) any amendment to any Loan Document and (3) any information delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) or (b).
 
Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

182
Section 9.02.        Waivers; Amendments.
 
(a)          No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof except as provided herein or in any Loan Document, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party hereto therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it is given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, neither the making of any Loan nor the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.
 
(b)          Subject to this Section 9.02(b) and Sections 9.02(d) below and to Section 9.05(f), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other than any waiver, amendment or modification to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Loan Document), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party that is party thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that:
 
(A)         the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the consent of the Required Lenders) shall be required for any waiver, amendment or modification that:
 
(1)          increases the Commitment of such Lender (other than with respect to any Incremental Facility pursuant to Section 2.22 in respect of which such Lender has agreed to be an Incremental Lender); it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall constitute an increase of any Commitment of such Lender;
 
(2)          reduces the principal amount of any Loan owed to such Lender;
 
(3)         (x) extends the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or (y) postpones any Interest Payment Date with respect to any Loan held by such Lender or the date of any scheduled payment of any fee or premium payable to such Lender hereunder (in each case, other than any extension for administrative reasons agreed by the Administrative Agent);

(4)          reduces the rate of interest (other than to waive any Default or Event of Default or obligation of the Borrower to pay interest to such Lender at the default rate of interest under Section 2.13(d), which shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders) or the amount of any fee or premium owed to such Lender; it being understood that no change in the definition of “Secured Net Leverage Ratio” or “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” or any other financial test or any ratio used in the calculation of the Applicable Rate, or in the calculation of any other interest, fee or premium due hereunder (including any component definition thereof) shall constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fee hereunder;
 
(5)         extends the expiry date of such Lender’s Commitment; it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of any Commitment shall constitute an extension of any Commitment of any Lender; and
 
(6)          waives, amends or modifies the provisions of (I) Sections 2.18(a) or 2.18(c) of this Agreement in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby (except in connection with any transaction permitted under Sections 2.22, 2.23, and/or 9.05(g) or as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02) or (II) Section 2.18(b);
 
(B)          no such agreement shall:
 
(1)         change any of the provisions of Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders”, in each case to reduce any voting percentage required to waive, amend or modify any right thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender, or

191
(v)        Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the Eligible Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax certification required by Section 9.05(b)(ii)(D)(2) (unless the assignee is already a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, if applicable, and any written consent to the relevant assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment Agreement and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
 
(vi)        By executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, the assigning Lender and the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (A) the assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that the amount of its commitments, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to any assignment thereof which has not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment Agreement, (B) except as set forth in clause (A) above, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (C) the assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to enter into such Assignment Agreement; (D) the assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and each applicable Intercreditor Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(c) or the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment Agreement; (E) the assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (F) the assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (G) the assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
 
192
(c)          (i)        Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender, sell participations to any bank or other entity (other than to any Disqualified Institution, any natural Person, any holder of Preferred Shares (or any Affiliate of such holder) or, other than with respect to any participation to any Debt Fund Affiliate (any such participations to a Debt Fund Affiliate being subject to the limitation set forth in the first proviso of the final paragraph set forth in Section 9.05(g), as if the limitation applied to such participations), the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, further that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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 any Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the relevant Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in (x) clause (A) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects the Loans or commitments in which such Participant has an interest and (y) clauses (B)(1), (2) or (3) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b).  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 and 2.17 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Section 2.19) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender, and if additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.17(a) or Section 2.17(c), to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).  To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.
 
(ii)        No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17 than the participating 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 (in its sole discretion), expressly acknowledging that such Participant’s entitlement to benefits under Sections 2.15 and 2.17 is not limited to what the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the participation.
 
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and their respective successors and registered assigns, and the principal and interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to any Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or any other obligation under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations or under Section 1.163 5(b) of the proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
 
(d)          (i)       Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to any Disqualified Institution or any natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 9.05 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
 
(ii)         No Lender may at any time enter into a total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative instrument under which any Secured Obligation is a reference obligation with any counterparty that is a Disqualified Institution.
 
193
(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of any 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.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Sections 2.15 or 2.17) and no SPC shall be entitled to any greater amount under Sections 2.15 or 2.17 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the grant to such SPC is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower (in its sole discretion), expressly acknowledging that such SPC’s entitlement to benefits under Sections 2.15 and 2.17 is not limited to what the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to the SPC, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the Requirements of Law of the U.S. or any State thereof; provided that (i) such SPC’s Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to the Borrower hereunder and (ii) each Lender designating any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.05, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
 
(f)          (i)          Any assignment or participation by a Lender (A) to any Disqualified Institution or any Affiliate thereof or (B) to the extent the Borrower’s consent is required under this Section 9.05 (and not deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 9.05(b)(i)(A)) without the Borrower’s consent, to any other Person, shall be null and void, and the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or participation and/or specifically enforce this Section 9.05(f) in addition to injunctive relief (without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm) or any other remedies available to the Borrower at law or in equity; it being understood and agreed that Holdings, the Borrower and its subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if any Lender breaches any obligation under this Section 9.05 as it relates to any assignment, participation or pledge of any Loan or Commitment to any Disqualified Institution or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person to whom the Borrower’s consent is required but not obtained.  Nothing in this Section 9.05(f) shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that Holdings or the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity.  Upon the request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent may and the Borrower will make the list of Disqualified Institutions (other than any Disqualified Institution that is a reasonably identifiable Affiliate of another Disqualified Institution on the basis of such Person’s name) available to such Lender so long as such Lender agrees to keep the list of Disqualified Institutions confidential in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
194
(ii)        If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.05 is made to any Disqualified Institution and/or Affiliate of any Disqualified Institution (other than any Competitor Debt Fund Affiliate) and/or any other person whom the Borrower’s consent is required but not obtained, in each case without the Borrower’s prior written consent (any such person, a “Disqualified Person”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Person, (B) in the case of any outstanding Term Loans, held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Term Loans by paying the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Term Loans, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Person to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that (I) in the case of clause (B), the applicable Disqualified Person has received payment of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) par and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid for the applicable Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Borrower, (II) in the case of clause (C), the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 9.05 (except that (x) no registration and processing fee required under this Section 9.05 shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph and (y) any Term Loan acquired by any Affiliated Lender pursuant to this paragraph will not be included in calculating compliance with the Affiliated Lender Cap for a period of 90 days following such transfer; provided that, to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeds the Affiliated Lender Cap on the 91st day following such transfer, then such excess amount shall either be (x) contributed to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries and retired and cancelled immediately upon such contribution or (y) automatically cancelled)) and (III) in no event shall such Disqualified Person be entitled to receive amounts set forth in Section 2.13(d).  Further, any Disqualified Person identified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (A) shall not be permitted to (x) receive information or reporting provided by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender and/or (y) attend and/or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (B) (x) shall not for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or the majority Lenders under any Class 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 or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, have a right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action; it being understood that all Loans held by any Disqualified Person shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, majority Lenders under any Class or all Lenders have taken any action, and (y) shall be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Parent Loan Guarantor and (C) shall not be entitled to receive the benefits of Section 9.03.  For the sake of clarity, the provisions in this Section 9.05(f) shall not apply to any Person that is an assignee of any Disqualified Person, if such assignee is not a Disqualified Person.
 
(iii)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Institution or Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability with respect to any assignment or participation made to any Disqualified Institution or Disqualified Person (regardless of whether the consent of the Administrative Agent is required thereto), and none of the Borrower, any Lender or their respective Affiliates will bring any claim to such effect.
 
(g)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to any Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis (A) through Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders holding the relevant Term Loans on a pro rata basis or (B) through open market purchases, in each case with respect to clauses (A) and (B), without the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided that:
 
195
(i)         (A) any Term Loans acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof; provided that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled and (B) in no event shall Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries offer to acquire the Term Loans of any Affiliated Lender pursuant to this Section 9.05(g) unless such offer to acquire is made to all Lenders holding the relevant Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (it being understood and agreed that if such other Lenders of such Class decline (or fail to respond to) the offer to acquire such Term Loans within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the offer to acquire such Term Loans from Holdings, the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, then Holdings, the Borrower and/or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to offer the entire amount so declined (or with respect to which there was a failure to respond) to Affiliated Lenders;
 
(ii)        any Term Loans acquired by any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate (other than Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries (it being understood that any such Term Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and cancelled promptly upon such contribution); provided that upon any such cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so contributed and cancelled;

(iv)        after giving effect to the relevant assignment and to all other assignments to all Affiliated Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans then held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof) (the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by any Person in connection with any compliance or non-compliance with this clause (g)(iv) or any purported assignment exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (it being understood and agreed that the Affiliated Lender Cap is intended to apply to any Loans made available to Affiliated Lenders by means other than formal assignment (e.g., as a result of an acquisition of another Lender (other than any Debt Fund Affiliate) by any Affiliated Lender or the provision of Additional Term Loans by the Sponsors); provided, further, that to the extent that any assignment to any Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof), the assignment of the relevant excess amount shall be null and void; and
 
(v)        in connection with any assignment effected pursuant to a Dutch Auction and/or open market purchase conducted by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (A) the relevant Person may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans to fund such assignment and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of acceptance of bids for the Dutch Auction or the confirmation of such open market purchase, as applicable; and
 
(vi)        by its acquisition of Term Loans, each relevant Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:
 
196
(A)          it is subject to the restrictions on voting set forth in Section 9.02(c); and

(vii)      no Affiliated Lender shall be required to represent or warrant that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower and/or any subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 9.05(g).

Section 9.09.       Right of Setoff.  At any time when an Event of Default exists, upon the written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations (in any currency) at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party or any Parent Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different than the branch or office holding such deposit or obligation on such Indebtedness.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and any applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section.  The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may have.

Section 9.15.       Several Obligations.  The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan, issue any Letter of Credit or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(a)         such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more benefit plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,
