Such Reimbursement Obligation shall be satisfied by the Borrower (i) first, by the remittance by the Administrative Agent to the LC Bank of any available amounts then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account and (ii) second, by the remittance by or on behalf of the Borrower to the LC Bank of any other funds of the Borrower then available for disbursement. In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by noon (New York City time) on the next Business Day following the Drawing Date (including because the conditions precedent to a Loan requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01 shall not have been satisfied), the LC Bank will promptly notify each Lender thereof.

Each Lender’s obligation to make Participation Advances shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) the LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder, (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled or (C) all Credit Parties have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

(c)    If any Letters of Credit are outstanding and undrawn on the Termination Date, the LC Collateral Account shall be funded from Collections (or, in the Borrower’s sole discretion, by other funds available to the Borrower) in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit plus all related fees to accrue through the stated expiration dates thereof (such fees to accrue, as reasonably estimated by the LC Bank, the “LC Fee Expectation”).

(a)    If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (a) (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 5.04 have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 5.04 have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of LMIR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which LMIR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, an “LMIR Termination Date”), or (b) a rate other than LMIR has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, then the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) choose a replacement index for LMIR and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LMIR based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if the Administrative Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Event has occurred with respect to LMIR, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LMIR with a Benchmark Replacement; and any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has provided such proposed amendment to all Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from the Majority Lenders. Until the Benchmark Replacement with respect to LMIR is effective, each advance and renewal of a Loan bearing interest with reference to LMIR will continue to bear interest with reference to LMIR; provided however, during a Benchmark Unavailability Period (i) any Loan pending selection of an Interest Rate at inception or upon the expiration of the related Interest Period of a Loan that has not yet gone into effect shall be deemed to be a selection of or renewal of the Base Rate with respect to such Loan and (ii) all outstanding Loans bearing interest under LMIR shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate at the expiration of the existing Interest Period (or sooner, if Administrative Agent cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected Loan under LMIR).

(b)    The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the determination of the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Borrower, not to be

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, Section 14.01), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to each Lender, unless the Administrative Agent receives, on or before such tenth (10th) Business Day, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that such Majority Lenders objects to such amendment.In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(c)    Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated loans in the United States and loans converted from an LMIR-based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from LMIR to the replacement index and (y) yield- or risk-based differences between LMIR and the replacement index.The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iii) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

(d)    Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 5.06 is effective, each Portion of Capital accruing Interest with reference to LMIR will continue to bear interest with reference to LMIR; provided however, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that an LMIR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LMIR Termination Date, each Portion of Capital that would otherwise accrue Interest with reference to LMIR shall automatically begin accruing Interest with reference to the Base Rate until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.As used in this Section 5.06:

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for
