In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith upon written demand 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 otherwise applicable to such Loan.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event the Administrative Agent determines, pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2.08, that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBO Rate and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower mutually determine that the syndicated loan market has broadly accepted a replacement standard for the LIBO Rate, then the Administrative Agent and Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, amend this Agreement to adopt such new broadly accepted market standard and to make such other changes as shall be necessary or appropriate in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in order to implement such new market standard herein and in the other Loan Documents so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such replacement standard is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.02) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to such payee and its registered assigns.
Section 2.10.    Mandatory Prepayment of Loans; Commitment Termination.
(a)    No later than 90 days after the end of the Borrower’s fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019), the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(d) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11 during such fiscal year or on or prior to the date such payment is required to be made (without duplication), in each case to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness).
(b)    Within thirty (30) Business Days of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receiving any Net Proceeds as a result of an Asset Sale or a Recovery Event or, if later, the next following Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect thereto, to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(d); provided, however, that if (A) prior to the date any such prepayment is required to be made, the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of its intent to repair the subject property or reinvest such Net Proceeds (I) in the case of Net Proceeds of Aircraft Assets, in other Aircraft Assets or (II) in the case of Net Proceeds of assets other than Aircraft Assets, in assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and (B) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such proposed reinvestment, and no Event of Default under clause (b), (f) or (g) of Section 7.01 (each, a “Specified Default”) shall have occurred and shall be continuing at the time of proposed repair or reinvestment (unless, in the case of such Specified Default, such repair or reinvestment is made pursuant to a binding commitment entered into at a time when no Specified Default was continuing), then the Borrower shall not be required to prepay Loans hereunder in respect of such Net Proceeds to the extent that such Net Proceeds are (x) (unless such Net Proceeds constitute collateral for any Permitted Debt) deposited into an account subject to an Account Control Agreement until applied as set forth in clause (y) or (z) below; (y) used to prepay Permitted Debt that is secured by a first priority lien over property from which such Net Proceeds are derived; or (z) so repaired or reinvested within 365 days after the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds (or, if within such 365 day period, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into a binding commitment to so reinvest in such Net Proceeds, and such Net Proceeds are so reinvested within 180 days after such binding commitment is so entered into). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Net Proceeds from the disposition of used engine life limited parts in the ordinary course of Allegiant Air’s business and any Net Proceeds related to Boeing 757 and McDonnell Douglas MD-80 aircraft spare parts that are owned as of the Closing Date shall not be subject to this Section 2.10(b).
(c)    No later than the next Business Day following the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.02), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting

37




discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses.
(d)    Amounts required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a), (b) and (c) shall be applied in inverse order of maturity to the remaining scheduled Installments of the applicable Class of Loans being prepaid. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.10 may not be reborrowed.
(e)    All prepayments under this Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to (but not including) the date of prepayment, plus any accrued and unpaid Fees and any losses, costs and expenses, as more fully described in Section 2.13 hereof.
Section 2.11.    Optional Prepayment of Loans.
(a)    The Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to prepay any Loans, in whole or in part, (i) with respect to Eurodollar Loans, upon written or facsimile notice (or notice by electronic mail) to the Administrative Agent, in any case received by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of prepayment and (ii) with respect to ABR Loans, upon written or facsimile notice (or notice by electronic mail) to the Administrative Agent received by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the proposed date of prepayment; provided that (A) each such partial prepayment shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, (B) no prepayment of Eurodollar Loans shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is accompanied by the payment of the amounts described in Section 2.13, and (C) no partial prepayment of a Eurodollar Tranche shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Eurodollar Tranche being less than $1,000,000.
(b)    Any prepayments under Section 2.11(a) shall be applied, at the option of the Borrower, to prepay the Loans of the Lenders, in each case as the Borrower shall specify. Unless otherwise specified by the Borrower, all such prepayments of Loans shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled Installments of the applicable Class of Loans being prepaid. All prepayments under Section 2.11(a) shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to (but not including) the date of prepayment, plus any Fees and any losses, costs and expenses, as more fully described in Section 2.13 hereof. Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11(a) may not be reborrowed.
(c)    Each notice of prepayment shall be in the form of Exhibit E and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which made, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Loan by the amount and on the date stated therein; provided that the Borrower may revoke any notice of prepayment under this Section 2.11 if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of any or all of the Obligations hereunder, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrower hereunder, notify each Lender of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment.
(d)    In the event that, within twelve months after February 5, 2019, there shall occur any Repricing Event, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Lenders, (i) in the case of a Repricing Event of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, a prepayment premium of 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans subject to such Repricing Event and (ii) in the case of a Repricing Event of the type described in clause (b) of the definition thereof, an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans subject to such Repricing Event outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness thereof, in each case unless such fee is waived by the applicable Lender. Any Lender that is a non-consenting Lender in respect of a Repricing Event may be replaced in accordance with Section 10.08(d) to the extent permitted thereby, provided that, if such replacement is within twelve months after February 5, 2019, any such Lender so replaced shall be entitled to the prepayment premium set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to its Loans so assigned unless such fee is waived by such Lender.

38




Section 2.12.    Increased Costs.
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement subject to Section 2.12(c)); or
(ii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon the request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender reasonably determines in good faith that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Lender’s holding company regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts, in each case as documented by such Lender to the Borrower as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; it being understood that to the extent duplicative of the provisions in Section 2.14, this Section 2.12(b) shall not apply to Taxes.
(c)    Solely to the extent arising from a Change in Law, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, and which notice shall specify the Statutory Reserve Rate, if any, applicable to such Lender) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender; it being understood that this Section 2.12(c) shall not apply to Taxes. If a Lender fails to give written notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.
(d)    No Lender shall discriminate against the Borrower in making any claim for compensation under this Section 2.12, and shall treat the Borrower no less favorably than such Lender’s similarly situated borrowers in similarly affected commercial loans of a similar size. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 and the basis for calculating such amount or amounts shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount due within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such certificate.

39




(e)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; 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. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention as to the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, regulations, requests, rules, guidelines or directives implemented pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act shall be deemed to be a Change in Law regardless of when implemented.
Section 2.13.    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 10.08(d), then, in any such event, at the request of such Lender, the Borrower shall compensate such Lender for any loss sustained by such Lender attributable to such event; provided that in no case shall this Section 2.13 apply to any payment of an Installment pursuant to Section 2.09(a). Such loss to any Lender shall be an amount reasonably determined in good faith by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan (excluding, however the Applicable Margin included therein, if any), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts (and the basis for requesting such amount or amounts) that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount due within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such certificate.
Section 2.14.    Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as determined in good faith by the Withholding Agent, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrower or applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14), the Administrative Agent and each Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Withholding Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)    In addition, the Borrower or any Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by or on behalf of

40




or withheld or deducted from payments owing to the Administrative Agent or such Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment to the extent available, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)    Each Lender shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower) for the full amount of any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. 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.
(f)    Any Lender that is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the United States, or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, including as reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.14(f) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(g)    (1) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when the previously delivered certificates and/or forms expire, or upon request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(i)    two (2) duly executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form  W-8BEN-E, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,
(ii)    two (2) duly executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8ECI,
(iii)    two (2) duly executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑8IMY, together with applicable attachments,
(iv)    in the case of such Lender claiming the benefits of exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (D) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected and (y) two (2) duly executed originals of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, or

41




(v)     any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax, including as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or required deduction to be made.
No Lender shall be required to deliver any form or statement pursuant to this Section 2.14(g) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(1)    Any Lender that is a “United States Person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when the previously delivered certificates and/or forms expire, or upon request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (2) copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.
(2)    If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
(h)    If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, reasonably exercised, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes from the Governmental Authority to which such Taxes or Other Taxes were paid and as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or a Guarantor or with respect to which the Borrower or a Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower or such Guarantor (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or such Guarantor under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund (including Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) and without interest (other than any interest paid to the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to promptly repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other additions to Tax 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 (h), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower or a Guarantor pursuant to this paragraph (h) if, and then only to the extent, the payment of such amount would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.14(h) 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 Borrower or any other Person.
Section 2.15.    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment.
(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment or prepayment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of amounts payable under Section 2.12 or 2.13, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of

42




calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017, pursuant to wire instructions to be provided by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 10.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension), unless, in the case of scheduled payments of interest and principal, such next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, in which case the date for payment shall be the next preceding Business Day. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars.
(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all Obligations then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of Fees and expenses then due under Sections 2.17 and 10.04 payable to the Administrative Agent, (ii) second, towards payment of Fees and expenses then due under Section 2.17, and 10.04 payable to the Lenders and towards payment of interest then due on account of the Loans, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such Fees and expenses and interest then due to such parties and (iii) third, towards payment of (A) principal of the Loans, (B) any Designated Banking Product Obligations then due, to the extent such Designated Banking Product Obligations constitute “Obligations” hereunder, and (C) any Designated Hedging Obligations then due, to the extent such Designated Hedging Obligations constitute “Obligations” hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, Designated Banking Product Obligations constituting Obligations and Designated Hedging Obligations constituting Obligations then due to such parties. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to payments from the Borrower or other Guarantors to preserve the allocations to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 2.15(b).
(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(d)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(a), 2.03(b), 8.04 or 10.04(c), 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.
(e)    Pro Rata Treatment. (i)  Each payment by the Borrower in respect of the Loans shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.
(i)    Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the applicable Lenders (except that assignments to the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.02(g) shall not be subject to this Section 2.15(e)(ii)).
Section 2.16.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    If the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender under Section 2.12 or to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such

43




Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder, to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or to take other reasonable measures, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation, assignment, filing or other measures (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Nothing in this Section 2.16 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14.
(b)    If, after the date hereof, any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.02), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), in any case as of a Business Day specified in such notice from the Borrower; provided that (i) such terminated or assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts due, owing and payable to it hereunder at the time of such termination or assignment, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees in the case of an assignment) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of an assignment due to payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.
Section 2.17.    Certain Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lead Arranger and to the Administrative Agent the fees set forth in that certain Fee Letter dated as of December 3, 2018, between the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Borrower (as amended by that certain Facility side Letter, dated as of January 30, 2019, between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the “Fee Letter”) at the times set forth therein.
Section 2.18.    [Intentionally Omitted].

Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the increased or new Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such increased or new Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the increased or new Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased or new Commitment. The parties waive the requirement for such notice in connection with the increases effective on the Closing Date.
(b)    Conditions. The increased or new Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date provided that:
(i)    each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 shall be satisfied on or prior to such Increase Effective Date;
(ii)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from giving effect to the increased or new Commitments on, or the making of any new Loans on, such Increase Effective Date;
(iii)    if, after giving pro forma effect to the increased or new Commitments and any new Loans to be made on such Increase Effective Date, the First Lien Leverage Ratio would be greater than 1.50:1.00, then the aggregate initial outstanding amount of such new Commitments and/or Loans, together with the outstanding amount of any other Pari Passu Debt, that would cause the First Lien Leverage Ratio to exceed 1.50:1.00 shall not exceed $300,000,000; and
(iv)    the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.
(c)    Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to the new Commitments shall be as follows:
(i)    terms and provisions with respect to interest rates, maturity date and amortization schedule of Loans made pursuant to any Incremental Commitments (“Incremental Loans”) shall be as agreed upon between the Borrower and the applicable Lenders providing such Loans (it being understood that the Incremental Loans may be part of the Class B Term Loans or any other Class of Loans);
(ii)    the Weighted Average Life to Maturity and final maturity date of any Loans made pursuant to Incremental Commitments shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity and final maturity date of the existing Loans;
(iii)    the interest rate margins for the new Incremental Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders providing such Loans; provided, however, that the interest rate margins for such new Incremental Loans shall not be greater than the highest interest rate margins that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to any existing Loans plus 50 basis points unless the interest rate margins with respect to the applicable existing Loans are increased by an amount equal to (x) the excess of the interest rate margins with respect to such Incremental Loans over the corresponding interest rate margins on the respective applicable existing Loans minus (y) 50 basis points; provided, that in

45




determining the excess of the interest rate margins between the Incremental Loans and the applicable existing Loans for purposes of the foregoing clause (x), (1) original issue discount or upfront or similar fees (collectively, “OID”) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders for the existing Loans or the Incremental Loans in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (2) any amendments to the interest rate margin on any existing Loans that became effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the effective time of the Incremental Loans shall also be included in such calculations, (3) customary arrangement, structuring, underwriting and commitment fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any arrangers (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall be excluded and (4) if the Incremental Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the existing Loans, such excess amount shall be equated to interest rate margins for purposes of determining whether an increase in the interest rate margins for the existing Loans shall be required under this Section 2.22(c)(iii), to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the existing Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate margins, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Margin) applicable to the existing Loans shall be increased by such increased amount; and
(iv)    to the extent that the terms and provisions of Incremental Loans are not identical to an outstanding Class of Loans (except to the extent permitted by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above), such terms and conditions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
The increased or new Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such increased or new Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to any Incremental Loans made pursuant to this Agreement.

The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the security interests created by the Collateral Documents.
Section 2.23.    Extension of Loans.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”), made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders holding Loans with like maturity date, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate Commitments with like maturity date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the scheduled maturity date with respect to all or a portion of any outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by changing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Commitments) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Loans, as so extended, as well as the original Loans not so extended, being a “tranche of Loans”, and any Extended Loan shall constitute a separate tranche of Loans from the tranche of Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:
(i)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the applicable Lenders;

46




(ii)    except as to interest rates, fees, scheduled amortization payments of principal and final maturity (which shall be as set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Loan of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Loan extended pursuant to an Extension Amendment (an “Extended Loan”), shall be a Loan with the same terms as the original Loans; provided that (1) the permanent repayment of Extended Loans after the applicable Extension shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Loans, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay any such tranche of Loans on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other tranche of Loans with a later maturity date than such tranche of Loans, (2) assignments and participations of Extended Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Loans, (3) the relevant Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of such Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Loans), (4) Extended Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders of such Extended Loans, (5) no Extended Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which all Loans with an earlier Maturity Date are repaid in full, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of such other Loans and (6) at no time shall there be Loans hereunder (including Extended Loans and any original Loans) which have more than five different maturity dates;
(iii)    all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing; and
(iv)    any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be obligated to accept any Extension Offer.
(b)    Minimum Extension Condition. With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 and (ii) each Extension Offer shall specify the minimum amount of Loans to be tendered, which shall be a minimum amount approved by the Administrative Agent (a “Minimum Extension Condition”). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.23 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.15 and 8.08) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.23.
(c)    Extension Amendment. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. No consent of any Lender shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans (or a portion thereof), as applicable. All Extended Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, an “Extension Amendment”) with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub‑tranches in respect of Loans so extended 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 tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.23.
(d)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.23.

(e)    With respect to any fee interest in any real property located in the United States with a book value in excess of $5.0 million (as reasonably estimated by the Borrower) acquired after the Closing Date by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, within 90 days following the date of such acquisition (or such longer period as to which the Administrative Agent may consent) (i) execute and deliver Mortgages in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, covering such real property and complying with the provisions herein and in the Security Documents and (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 5.10 with respect to any Mortgages to be provided after the Closing Date pursuant to such Section.

Except as aforesaid, neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary has granted or shall grant control of any deposit account (including any deposit account of the type referenced in the preceding sentence) to any Person other than the Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall not give any instructions directing the disposition of funds from time to time deposited in or credited to any deposit account, or withhold any withdrawal rights from the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in whose name the deposit account is maintained, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or after giving effect to any withdrawal, would occur and subject to any Intercreditor Agreement.

60

The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for, or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into, (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

73




(c)    The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it.

The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
(d)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or Lead Arranger listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender.
Section 8.04.    Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse on demand the Administrative Agent for such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage of any expenses and fees incurred for the benefit of the Lenders under this Agreement and any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, and any other expense incurred in connection with the operations or enforcement thereof, not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Guarantors and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its Related Parties, on demand, in the amount equal to such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Guarantors (except such as shall result from its gross negligence or willful misconduct).
Section 8.05.    Successor Agents. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (provided no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing) of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, with the consent (provided no Event of Default or Default has occurred or is continuing) of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as an Administrative Agent.
Section 8.06.    Independent Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 8.07.    Advances and Payments.

74




(a)    On the date of each Loan, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (but not obligated) to advance, for the account of each of the Lenders, the amount of the Loan to be made by it in accordance with its Commitment hereunder. Should the Administrative Agent do so, each of the Lenders agrees forthwith to reimburse the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the amount so advanced on its behalf by the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate if not so reimbursed on the date due from and including such date but not including the date of reimbursement.
(b)    Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement (other than amounts to which the Administrative Agent is entitled pursuant to Sections 2.17, 8.04 and 10.04), the application of which is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.15(b). All amounts to be paid to a Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be credited to that Lender, after collection by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in that Lender’s correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, as such Lender and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree.
Section 8.08.    Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that, except to the extent this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if it shall, through the exercise either by it or any of its banking Affiliates of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or a Guarantor, including, but not limited to, a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim and received by such Lender (or any of its banking Affiliates) under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of its Loans as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Loans is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Loans of any other Lender (a) it shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Lender a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Lender’s Loans and its participation in Loans of the other Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to the obtaining of such payment and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Lenders share such payment pro-rata, provided that if any such non-pro-rata payment is thereafter recovered or otherwise set aside, such purchase of participations shall be rescinded (without interest). The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender holding (or deemed to be holding) a participation in a Loan acquired pursuant to this Section or any of its banking Affiliates may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender as fully as if such Lender was the original obligee thereon, in the amount of such participation. The provisions of this Section 8.08 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by the Borrower or a Guarantor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it.
Section 8.09.    Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding tax applicable to such payment. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason, or the Administrative Agent has paid over to the Internal Revenue Service applicable withholding tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, without duplication of any indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.04, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred.
Section 8.10.    Appointment by Secured Parties. Each Secured Party that is not a party to this Agreement shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of this Section 8 and to have acknowledged that the provisions of this Section 8 apply to such Secured Party mutatis mutandis as though it were a party hereto (and any acceptance by such Secured Party of the benefits of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed an acknowledgment of the foregoing).

SECTION 9.

GUARANTY
Section 9.01.    Guaranty.
(a)    Each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual payment by the Borrower of the Obligations (including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of the obligor whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations” and the obligations of each Guarantor in respect thereof, its “Guaranty Obligations”). Each of the Guarantors further agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and it will remain bound upon this guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations. The Obligations of the Guarantors shall be joint and several. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guaranty hereunder is a primary obligation of such Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety.
(b)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives presentation to, demand for payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Guarantor, and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any provision hereof or thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, compromise, acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) the release, exchange, waiver or foreclosure of any security held by the Administrative Agent for the Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; or (vi) the release or substitution of any Collateral or any other Guarantor.
(c)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors further agrees that this guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not just of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or a Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit, account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or a Lender in favor of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or to any other Person.
(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense that it might have based on a failure to remain informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of any other Guarantor and any circumstances affecting the ability of the Borrower to perform under this Agreement.
(e)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor’s guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any other instrument evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor or by any other circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to this guaranty (other than payment in full in cash of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than those that constitute unasserted contingent indemnification obligations)). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders makes any representation or warranty in respect to any such circumstances or shall have any duty or responsibility whatsoever to any Guarantor in respect of the management and maintenance of the Obligations.
(f)    Upon the occurrence of the Obligations becoming due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise), the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Obligations by the Guarantors upon written demand by the Administrative Agent.
Section 9.02.    No Impairment of Guaranty. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation or impairment for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, other than pursuant to a written agreement in compliance with Section 10.08 and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim,

76




recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision hereof or thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantors or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantors as a matter of law.
Section 9.03.    Continuation and Reinstatement, etc. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or a Guarantor, or otherwise.
Section 9.04.    Subrogation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all the Obligations (including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of an obligor whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding). If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor for the account of the Borrower relating to the Obligations prior to payment in full of the Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
Section 9.05.    Discharge of Guaranty.
(a)    In the event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor (other than Allegiant Air), by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all Capital Stock of any Guarantor (other than Allegiant Air), in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or the merger or consolidation of a Guarantor with or into the Borrower or another Guarantor, in each case, in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be automatically released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(b)    Upon designation of any Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Guarantor will be automatically released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations. In addition, upon the request of the Borrower, the guarantee of any Guarantor that is an Immaterial Subsidiary shall be promptly released; provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall result therefrom and (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that such Subsidiary is an Immaterial Subsidiary; provided further that a Subsidiary that is considered not to be an Immaterial Subsidiary solely pursuant to clause (1) of the proviso of the definition thereof shall, solely for purposes of this clause (b), be considered an Immaterial Subsidiary so long as any applicable guarantee, pledge or other obligation of such Subsidiary with respect to any Junior Secured Debt shall be irrevocably released and discharged substantially simultaneously with the release of such guarantee hereunder.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver, at the Borrower’s expense, such documents as the Borrower or any such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of the guarantee of such Guarantor provided herein.

(ii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below of this Section 10.02, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.14 and 10.04). Any assignment or

79




transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.02 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 10.02.
(iii)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for such purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no assignment may be made hereunder to any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (v).
(c)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire in a form as the Administrative Agent may require (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 8.04 or 10.04(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(d)    (i)  Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans); provided 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 and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and 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 Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.08(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.02(d)(ii), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.02(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to the requirements of Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, the Borrower, a Guarantor and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the

80




Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(i)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant and shall be subject to the terms of Section 2.16(a). The Lender selling the participation to such Participant shall be subject to the terms of Section 2.16(b) if such Participant requests compensation or additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Sections 2.14(f), 2.14(g) and 2.14(h) as though it were a Lender.
(e)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 10.02 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 a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(f)    Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.02, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Guarantors furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant provides to the Administrative Agent its agreement in writing to be bound for the benefit of the Borrower by either the provisions of Section 10.03 or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 10.03.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Loans of any Class to the Borrower or any designated Affiliate thereof in accordance with Section 10.02(b); provided that:
(i)    the assigning Lender and the Borrower purchasing such Lender’s Loans, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance;
(ii)    any Loans assigned to the Borrower or any designated Affiliate thereof shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder;
(iii)    no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing;
(iv)    at the time of any such assignment effected pursuant to a Dutch Auction, the Borrower shall affirm to the assigning Lenders the No Undisclosed MNPI Representation with respect to its directors and officers (and shall affirm that such No Undisclosed MNPI Representation had been true and correct at the commencement of such Dutch Auction) with respect to the proposed assignment (it being understood that no such assignment of Loans pursuant to this Section 10.02(g) shall be required to be made by Dutch Auction); and
(v)    the assignment to the Borrower and cancellation of Loans shall not constitute a mandatory or voluntary payment for purposes of Section 2.10 or 2.11 and shall not be subject to Section 8.08, but the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans purchased pursuant to this Section 10.02(g), and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Loans of such Class shall be reduced pro rata by the aggregate principal amount of Loans of such Class purchased hereunder.

81




Section 10.03.    Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to keep any information delivered or made available by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors to it confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures, from anyone other than persons employed or retained by such Lender or its Affiliates who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring, insuring or administering the Loans, and who are advised by such Lender of the confidential nature of such information; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing such information (a) to any of its Affiliates and their respective agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential) or to any other Lender, (b) to the extent required by Law or regulations or upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (c) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority (including any self-regulatory authority), (d) which has been publicly disclosed other than as a result of a disclosure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender which is not permitted by this Agreement, (e) in connection with any litigation to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or their respective Affiliates may be a party to the extent reasonably required under applicable rules of discovery, (f) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (g) to such Lender’s legal counsel and independent auditors, (h) on a confidential basis to (I) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or any Facility, (II) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facility or (III) any direct or indirect provider of credit protection to such Lender or its Affiliates (or its brokers), (i) with the consent of the Borrower, (j) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee of all or part of its rights hereunder or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, in each case, subject to the proviso in Section 10.02(f) (with any reference to any assignee or participant set forth in such proviso being deemed to include a reference to such contractual counterparty for purposes of this Section 10.03(j)), (k) to the extent that such information is received by such Lender from a third party that is not, to such Lender’s knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations to the Borrower, (l) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Lender and (m) to any other party hereto. If any Lender is in any manner requested or required to disclose any of the information delivered or made available to it by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors under clauses (b) or (e) of this Section, such Lender will, to the extent permitted by law, provide the Borrower or Guarantor with prompt notice, to the extent reasonable, so that the Borrower or Guarantor may seek, at its sole expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy or may waive compliance with this Section 10.03.

Section 10.04.    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a)    (i) The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the primary syndication of the Facility, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (but limited to one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent and, if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and special counsel for each relevant specialty (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the party affected by such conflict, informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for each such affected person)) and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender following and during the continuance of any Event of Default in connection with the enforcement or protection of any rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws, and including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loans and the Loan Documents, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (but limited to one counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole and, if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and special counsel for each relevant specialty (and, in the

82




case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the party affected by such conflict, informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for each such affected person)).
(i)    All payments or reimbursements pursuant to the foregoing clause (a)(i) shall be paid within thirty (30) days of written demand together with back-up documentation supporting such reimbursement request.
(b)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs (including settlement costs), disbursements and out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (i) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding in any way relating to, arising out of, in connection with or by reason of any of the following, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, litigation or proceeding): (x) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or (y) any Commitment, any Loan or the use or proposed use thereof or of the proceeds thereof; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, fees and expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; or (ii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other location, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of such Indemnitee and regardless of whether such Indemnitee is a party thereto, and whether or not any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, its affiliates, its creditors or any other Person. Paragraph (b) of this Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c)    To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.04, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such portion of the unpaid amount equal to such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.
(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.
Section 10.05.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a)    This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
(b)    Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or

83




proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01 (but only if sent by hand or courier). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 10.06.    No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
Section 10.07.    Extension of Maturity. Should any payment of principal of or interest or any other amount due hereunder become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension.
Section 10.08.    Amendments, etc.
(a)    No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document (other than the Account Control Agreements), and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or signed by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment shall without the prior written consent of:
(i)    each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender or extend the termination date of the Commitment of any Lender (it being understood that a waiver of an Event of Default shall not constitute an increase in or extension of the termination date of the Commitment of a Lender), or (B) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the rate of interest payable thereon or any Fees (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary for a waiver of default interest referred to in Section 2.07), or extend any date for the payment of principal, interest or Fees hereunder or reduce any Fees payable hereunder or extend the final maturity of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder or (C) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.15(b);

84




(iii)    the Required Class Lenders of each Class that is being allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment as a result thereof (relating to the amount of repayment or prepayment being allocated to another Class), change the application of prepayments as among or between Classes under Section 2.10 (it being understood that if additional Classes of Loans or additional Loans under this Agreement consented to by the Required Lenders or additional Loans pursuant to Section 2.22 are made, such new Loans may be included on a pro rata basis in the various prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.10); and
(iv)    all Lenders under any Class, reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Class Lenders” with respect to such Class.
provided further, that any Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified with the consent of the applicable Grantor and the Administrative Agent to (i) add assets (or categories of assets) to the Collateral covered by such Collateral Document or (ii) release Collateral in respect of any Disposition thereof in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or as provided in any Collateral Document.
(b)    No such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder without its prior written consent.
(c)    No notice to or demand on the Borrower or any Guarantor shall entitle the Borrower or any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each assignee under Section 10.02(b) shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver, or consent authorized as provided herein, and any consent by a Lender shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring an interest on the Loans held by such Lender. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective against the Borrower or any Guarantor unless signed by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.08(a), (i) in the event that the Borrower requests that this Agreement be modified or amended in a manner which would require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders or the consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby and, in each case, such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may replace any non-consenting Lender in accordance with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.02 (and such non-consenting Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effecting such assignment); provided that (x) such amendment or modification can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant to this clause (i)) and (y) such non-consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable to it under this Agreement from the applicable assignee or the Borrower; (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any modifications or amendments under any Extension Amendment entered in accordance with Section 2.23 may be made without the consent of the Required Lenders and (iii) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof to the Lenders.
(e)    In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.08(a), this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Loans (as defined below) as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (x) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all outstanding Loans of any tranche (“Refinanced Loans”) with a replacement loan tranche (“Replacement Loans”) hereunder and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of Required Lenders, as applicable; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Loans, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Loans at the time of such refinancing

85




(except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Loans) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Loans shall be substantially identical to or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Loans than those applicable to the Lenders of such Refinanced Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.
(f)    In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.08(a), this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement (whether pursuant to Section 2.22 or otherwise) and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.
(g)    In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01 or Section 10.08(a), following the consummation of any Extension pursuant to Section 2.23, no modification, amendment or waiver (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any forbearance agreement entered into with respect to this Agreement) shall limit the right of any non-extending Lender (each, a “Non-Extending Lender”) to enforce its right to receive payment of amounts due and owing to such Non-Extending Lender on the applicable Maturity Date applicable to the Loans of such Non-Extending Lenders without the prior written consent of Non-Extending Lenders that would constitute the Required Class Lenders with respect to any affected Class of such Loans if the Non-Extending Lenders were the only Lenders hereunder at the time.
(h)    It is understood that the amendment provisions of this Section 10.08 shall not apply to extensions of the Loan Maturity Date made in accordance with Section 2.23.
Section 10.09.    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.10.    Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience only and are not to affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
Section 10.11.    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, Section 8, Section 10.03 and 10.04 and shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 10.12.    Execution in Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 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. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of

86




each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 10.14.    New Value. It is the intention of the parties hereto that any provision of Collateral by a Grantor as a condition to, or in connection with, the making of any Loan, shall be made as a contemporaneous exchange for new value given by the Lenders to the Borrower.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

Section 10.16.    No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise related to the Transactions will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other hand. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower and the Guarantors, on the other hand, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, affiliates, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
Section 10.17.    Intercreditor Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent shall enter into any intercreditor agreement pursuant to and as permitted by the terms of this Agreement (any such intercreditor agreement an “Intercreditor Agreement”) and such Intercreditor Agreement shall remain outstanding, the rights granted to the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such Intercreditor Agreement. In the

87




event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and such Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to any right or remedy, and no right, power or remedy granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent, and no direction shall be given by the Administrative Agent, in contravention of such Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 10.18.    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
Section 10.19.    Certain ERISA Matters.
(a)    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i)    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 Commitments or this Agreement,

(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the

88




requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b)    In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
