Section 2.07        Termination of Commitments. The Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the deemed making of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01.

Section 2.08        Interest Elections.

(ii)          the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)         whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv)        if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.  If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d)          Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)         If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing is not timely delivered before the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to Borrower, that (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.09        Reserved.

Section 2.10        Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(a)          Optional Prepayments.  Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.10; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $500,000.

(b)          Asset Sales.  Not later than three (3) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by any Company, Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10(g); provided, that up to $10,000,000 of such Net Cash Proceeds in respect of the Houston Disposition may be retained by Borrower or its Subsidiaries and used for general corporate purposes in accordance with the Approved Budget approved by the Required Lenders (with written notice of such approval provided to the Administrative Agent).

(c)         Debt Issuance, Preferred Stock Issuance.  Not later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance by any Company or of any Preferred Stock Issuance by Borrower of Disqualified Capital Stock, Borrower shall make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(d)        Casualty Events.  Not later than five (5) Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from a Casualty Event by any Company, Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10(g); provided that: (i) so long as no Event of Default shall then exist or would arise immediately therefrom, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that (A) in the event such Net Cash Proceeds shall not exceed $2,500,000 per Casualty Event or $5,000,000 in Net Cash Proceeds in any fiscal year of Borrower, Borrower shall have delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or before such date stating that such proceeds are reasonably expected to be used, or (B) in the event that such Net Cash Proceeds equals or exceeds $2,500,000 per Casualty Event or $5,000,000 in Net Cash Proceeds in any fiscal year of Borrower, Borrower has elected by written notice to Administrative Agent on or before such date to require such proceeds to be used, in each case, to repair, replace or restore any Property in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid or to reinvest in fixed or capital assets of any Loan Party, no later than 365 days following the date of receipt of such proceeds (which Officers’ Certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended).

(e)         Excess Cash Flow.  No later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with respect to such fiscal year in which such Excess Cash Flow Period occurs are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), Borrower shall make prepayments in accordance with Section 2.10(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to (A) (x) 75% of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended if the Total Net Leverage Ratio at the end of such period is greater than or equal to 3:0:1.0 and (y) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended if the Total Net Leverage Ratio at the end of such period is less than 3.0:1.0 minus (B) (x) the aggregate principal amount of optional prepayments of Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) made during such Excess Cash Flow Period or, at Borrower’s option, after such Excess Cash Flow Period and prior to the date such Excess Cash Flow payment is required to be made under this Section 2.10(e), in each case, to the extent such prepayment (1) does not occur in connection with a refinancing of all or a portion of such Loans and (2) is made with Internally Generated Funds, (y) if immediately after giving effect to the prepayment required under this clause (e), Borrower and its Subsidiaries would not have Unrestricted Cash on the balance sheet in an aggregate amount of at least $15,000,000, an amount not to exceed the amount necessary (if any) to cause Borrower and its Subsidiaries to have Unrestricted Cash on the balance sheet in an aggregate amount of $15,000,000, after giving pro forma effect to the prepayment required under this clause (e) and (z) amounts retained in the good faith judgement of Borrower to fund growth Capital Expenditures, provided, however, any amounts pursuant to this clause (y) that are not expended by Borrower or its Subsidiaries by June 30 of the calendar year immediately following the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period shall constitute Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period.

(f)          Foreign Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.10, mandatory prepayments as a result of Section 2.10(b) in respect of a Foreign Subsidiary (i) may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to the extent the making of any such mandatory prepayment from the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale of any property or assets referred to in Section 2.10(b) received by any Foreign Subsidiary would give rise to a materially adverse tax consequence as reasonably determined in good faith by Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit received in connection with such repatriation and after Borrower and the applicable Foreign Subsidiary have used commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such materially adverse tax consequence in order to make such prepayments) and may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long as such material adverse tax consequence continues to exist; provided that the aggregate amount of mandatory prepayments that have not been applied to the prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this subclause (f) shall not exceed $10,000,000 during the life of this Agreement; provided further that such Net Cash Proceeds of any such Asset Sale of any property or assets referred to in Section 2.10(b) shall be applied to prepay any Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary permitted to be prepaid by this Agreement or reinvested in the business of any Company as permitted to be reinvested by this Agreement; provided further that if an Event of Default is then continuing, no prepayment of any such Indebtedness (other than any prepayment required by the terms of such Indebtedness) or reinvestments shall be permitted, and (ii) may be retained if prohibited under applicable local law (as reasonably determined by Borrower); provided that such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation is permitted under the applicable local law, unless such prepayment amount may be retained under foregoing clause (i), such repatriation shall be promptly effected.

(g)          Prepayments, if any, required or optionally made pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be applied to repay the principal amount of the Loans on a pro rata basis, plus any interest accrued and unpaid on such Loans, on a pro rata basis, as applicable plus any interest accrued and unpaid on such Loans.

Section 2.11         Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a)          If before the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i)          the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) either (i) that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising the applicable Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or (ii) that adequate and reasonable means (including by means of an Interpolated Rate) do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; provided, in each case, that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or

(ii)        the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted into an ABR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

(b)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement.  Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein.  Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment.  No replacement of LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(c)          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 Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(d)          The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable and its related Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.11, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11.

(e)          Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Loans shall cease to be Eurodollar Loans and (ii) all Loans shall convert to, and continue as, ABR Loans.

Section 2.12         Increased Costs; Change in Legality.

(a)          If any Change in Law shall:

(i)          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, liquidity or similar requirement against Property of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate);

(ii)          impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii)        subjects the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 2.15 and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, principal, letters of credit, Commitments, or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, by an amount deemed by such recipient to be material of making, converting to or from, 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 the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder by an amount deemed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be material (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available to the Administrative Agent and each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

(b)         If any Lender determines (in good faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) that any Change in Law regarding Capital 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 by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by 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 or liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, for any such reduction suffered.

(c)          A certificate of a Lender (or the Administrative Agent, to the extent applicable) setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.12(a) or (b) shall be delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error; provided, however, that such certificate need not include any confidential or price sensitive information or any information that is prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements from being disclosed.  Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d)          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 Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days before the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies 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 indicate the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e)         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i)          such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness (as determined in good faith by such Lender)) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Loan (or to convert an ABR Loan to a Eurodollar Loan or to continue a Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn by such Lender by written notice to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent; and

(ii)         such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.12(f).

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(f)          For purposes of Section 2.12(e), a notice to Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by Borrower.

Section 2.13        Breakage Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event and any liquidation or deployment of deposits required by such Lender to make, maintain or convert to such Loan.  In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (together with any interest payable at the Default Rate, if then applicable, but excluding loss of margin or anticipated profit) that would have been applicable to such Loan, 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 that 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, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.  Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof; provided, however, that such certificate need not include any confidential or price sensitive information or any information that is prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements from being disclosed.

Section 2.14         Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a)         Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.10(g), 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, before 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent’s Account, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein.  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 under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, 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.  All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

(b)          If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties, and (iii) third, towards the payment of all other Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amount of such amounts then due to such parties.

(c)          If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim (including pursuant to Section 10.08) or otherwise (including by exercise of its rights under the Security Documents), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any Eligible Assignee or participant, other than to any Company or any Affiliates thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14(c) shall apply).  Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Legal Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.  If under applicable Insolvency Law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.14(c) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of such Secured Party under this Section 2.14(c) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.

(d)        Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from Borrower before the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that 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 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 or practices on interbank compensation.

(e)          If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.14(d) or 10.03(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.15        Taxes.

(a)          Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements.  If applicable Legal Requirements (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Loan Party or the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent, any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions, reductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party, if applicable, shall make such deductions, reductions or withholdings and (iii) the relevant Loan Party, if applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted, reduced or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

(b)          In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)        The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party 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 2.15) 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 Borrower by a Lender(in each case, with a copy delivered concurrently to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)         Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e)         As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days following any such payment being due, by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the Tax Return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)          Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements and at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements and at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution, and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, furnish to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:  (A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty, (B) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI (or any successor forms), (C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two accurate and originally executed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) certifying that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms), or (D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8IMY (or any successor forms), accompanied by two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3, U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, and/or other certification documents (or any successor forms), as applicable, from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.15(f) if such beneficial owner were a lender; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, and (E) two accurate and complete originally executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made and (ii) any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent) furnish to Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or any successor forms) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax.  Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)          If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax under 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its withholding obligations, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(g), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments to FATCA after the date hereof.

(h)          If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or an assignee) determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower (or with respect to which Borrower’s payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay over an amount equal to such refund to Borrower within a reasonable period and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days of such determination, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay all or a portion of such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority, Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee), shall repay the amount paid over to Borrower that is required to be repaid (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee), as applicable, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice that the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay such refund (or a portion thereof) to such Governmental Authority.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.15(h) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) to make available its Tax Returns or any other information which it deems confidential or privileged to Borrower or any other Person.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or assignee) be required to pay any amount to Borrower the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) would have been in if the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld, or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Taxes had never been paid.

Section 2.16        Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)          Mitigation of Obligations.  If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 2.12(a) or (b), or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce materially amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(a), 2.12(b) or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, (iii) would not require such Lender to take any action inconsistent with legal or regulatory restrictions, and (iv) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, whether from an economic, legal, regulatory or reputational standpoint or otherwise.  Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.  A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by such Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

(b)          Replacement of Lenders.  In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b), (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.12(e), (iii) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (iv) any Lender fails to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by Borrower that requires the consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of all affected Lenders and, which, in each case, has been consented to by the Lenders or affected Lenders holding the majority of the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding and/or unused commitments applicable thereto, as the case may be, or (v) any Lender or defaults in its obligations to make Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b) or 2.15) which shall assume such assigned obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (u) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction of such compensation or payment thereafter, (w) except in the case of clause (iv) above if the effect of such amendment, waiver or other modification of the applicable Loan Document would cure any Default or Event of Default then ongoing, no such Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any applicable Legal Requirement, (y) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest and any prepayment premium or penalty (if any) accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender affected by such assignment plus all Fees and other amounts owing to or accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder (including any amounts under Sections 2.12 and 2.13); provided further that, if before any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) or notice under Section 2.12(e) or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.15, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.12(e), or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.15, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(a)), or if such Lender shall irrevocably waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) in respect of such circumstances or event or shall irrevocably withdraw its notice under Section 2.12(e) or shall irrevocably waive its right to further payments under Section 2.15 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder.  Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.16(b).

(c)         Defaulting Lenders.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then during any Default Period (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”, and the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and Loans shall be excluded for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, except that the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and Loans shall be included for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on the matters set forth in Section 10.02(b)(i)-(x) and Section 10.02(b)(xi) (including the granting of any consents or waivers).

For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Funding Default” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the definition of “Defaulting Lender,” (ii) “Defaulted Loan” means the Loans of a Defaulting Lender; (iii) “Default Period” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the period commencing on the date of the applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates:  (a) [reserved], (b) with respect to any Funding Default (other than any such Funding Default arising pursuant to clause (e) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”), the date on which (1) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of any Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender or by the non-pro rata application of any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof or any combination thereof) and (2) such Defaulting Lender shall have delivered to Borrower and the Administrative Agent a written reaffirmation of its intention to honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Commitment(s), and (c) the date on which Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders waive all Funding Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing, and (iv) “Default Excess” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans of all Lenders (calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders (including such Defaulting Lender) had funded all of their respective Defaulted Loans) over the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

No amount of the Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.16(c), performance by Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of Section 2.16(c).  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under Section 2.16(c) are in addition to other rights and remedies that Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

Section 2.17        Increases of the Loan.

(a)          Borrower may, not more than five (5) times after the Closing Date, increase, at Borrower’s request to the Administrative Agent, the then effective aggregate principal amount of the Commitments; provided that:

(i)           the cumulative aggregate principal amount of all increases in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall not at any time exceed the Incremental Cap;

(ii)          the proceeds of such increases shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including Investments (including acquisitions and Capital Expenditures) permitted hereunder;

(iii)        Borrower shall execute and deliver such agreements, instruments and documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with such increases and at the time of any such proposed increase; no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur immediately after giving effect to such increase and the application of proceeds therefrom;

(iv)       Borrower shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with each of the financial covenants specified in Section 6.10, on the date of such increase and as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter after giving effect to such increase (assuming, for purposes of Section 6.10, that the maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio permitted in any Test Period pursuant to Section 6.10 is 0.25 to 1.00 below the maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 6.10 for such Test Period);

(v)          the Incremental Loans shall have a maturity date no earlier than the Maturity Date and shall have a weighted average life to maturity no shorter than the Loans made (or deemed made) on the Closing Date;

(vi)         if the Effective Yield applicable to the Incremental Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.17 exceed the Effective Yield applicable to the Loans made (or deemed made) on the Closing Date by more than 50 basis points, then the interest rates set forth in Section 2.06 shall increase by the Yield Differential; provided that it being understood that any increase to the Effective Yield to any such Loan pursuant to this clause (vii) due to the application of any LIBOR or ABR floors will be effected solely through any increase in such floor; and

(vii)       the terms and conditions with respect to the Incremental Loans that are not consistent with the Loans made (or deemed made) on the Closing Date (except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.17) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b)          Any request under this Section 2.17 shall be submitted by Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly forward copies to the Lenders).  Borrower may also specify any fees offered to those Lenders (the “Increasing Lenders”) that agree to increase the principal amount of their Commitments, which fees may be variable based upon the amount by which any such Lender is willing to increase the principal amount of its Commitment.  No Lender shall have any obligation, express or implied, to offer to increase the aggregate principal amount of its Commitment or to make any Incremental Loans.  Only the consent of each Increasing Lender shall be required for an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17.  No Lender which declines to increase the principal amount of its Commitment may be replaced with respect to its existing Commitment as a result thereof without such Lender’s consent.

(c)          Each Increasing Lender shall as soon as reasonably practicable specify in writing the amount of the proposed increase of the Commitments that it is willing to assume (provided that any Lender not so responding within five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be specified by the Administrative Agent) shall be deemed to have declined such a request).  Borrower may accept some or all of the offered amounts or designate new lenders that are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as additional Lenders hereunder in accordance with this Section 2.17 (each such new lender being a “New Lender”), which New Lenders may assume all or a portion of the increase in the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Commitments.  The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), in consultation with Borrower, shall have discretion jointly to adjust the allocation of the increased aggregate principal amount of the Commitments among Increasing Lenders and New Lenders.

(d)         Subject to the foregoing, any increase requested by Borrower shall be effective upon (A) delivery to the Administrative Agent of each of the following documents: (i) an originally executed copy of a Joinder Agreement signed by a duly authorized officer of each New Lender; (ii) a notice to the Increasing Lenders and New Lenders, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, signed by a Financial Officer of Borrower; (iii) an Officers’ Certificate of Borrower, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent certifying to, among other things, that any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17 and the making of the Loans under this Section 2.17 is not in violation of the Facility; (iv) to the extent requested by any New Lender or Increasing Lender, executed Term Notes issued by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.04(e); (v) an amendment (an “Incremental Loan Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Borrower, each Increasing Lender (if any), each New Lender (if any) and the Administrative Agent; and (vi) any other certificates or documents or legal opinions that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (B) satisfaction on the effective date of the Incremental Loan Amendment of (x) each of the conditions specified in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Event” or similar language in Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of the Incremental Loan Amendment), and (y) such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree.

Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders (with references in this Article III to the Companies being references thereto after giving effect to the Transactions unless otherwise expressly stated) on the Closing Date and upon each Credit Event thereafter that:

(c)          The licensee of each Regulatory License is in compliance with each Regulatory License and has fulfilled and performed, or will fulfill or perform, all of its obligations with respect thereto in a timely manner, including with respect to the filing of all reports, notifications and applications required by the Communications Act or the rules, regulations, policies, instructions and orders of the FCC or any PUC, and the payment of all regulatory fees and contributions, except (i) for exemptions, waivers or similar concessions or allowances and (ii) where such failure to be in compliance or to fulfill or perform its obligations or pay such fees or contributions has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)          One or more Loan Parties owns, directly or indirectly through one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, all of the Equity Interests in, and Controls, all of the voting power and decision-making authority of, each licensee of the Regulatory Licenses, except for any Regulatory License the termination of which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and each such licensee is a Subsidiary.

Section 3.02        Authorization; Enforceability.  Subject to the entry of and the terms of the Confirmation Order, the Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action on the part of each such Loan Party.  Subject to the entry of and terms of the Confirmation Order, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Section 3.03        No Conflicts; No Default.  Subject to the entry of and terms of the Confirmation Order and except to the extent excused as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Transactions (a) do not require any consent, exemption, authorization or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) filings necessary to perfect or maintain the perfection or priority of the Liens created by the Security Documents and (iii) consents, approvals, exemptions, authorizations, registrations, filings, permits or actions the failure of which to obtain or perform could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate the Organizational Documents of any Company, (c) will not violate or result in a default or require any consent or approval under (x) any indenture, instrument, agreement, or other document binding upon any Company or its property or to which any Company or its property is subject, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Company, except for violations, defaults or the creation of such rights that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (y) any Organizational Document (other than such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect), (d) will not violate any Legal Requirement in any material respect, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property of any Company, except Liens created by the Security Documents and Permitted Liens.  No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 3.04        Financial Statements.  Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders the consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017, December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2019, audited by and accompanied by (i) in the case of such financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants and (ii) in the case of such financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, the opinion of BDO USA, LLP, independent public accountants.  Such financial statements and all financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and (b) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes) consistently applied throughout the applicable period covered, respectively, thereby and present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations and, if applicable, cash flows of the applicable Companies as of the dates and for the periods to which they relate (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes).

Section 3.05        Properties.  Each Company has valid leasehold interests in, all its Property material to its business, free and clear of all Liens and irregularities, deficiencies and defects in title except for Permitted Liens and minor irregularities, deficiencies and defects in title that, individually or in the aggregate, do not, and could not reasonably be expected to, interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such Property for its intended purpose.  There are no Material Adverse Lease Events where a landlord has exercised remedies as a result of an event of default resulting from any Company’s bankruptcy on or prior to the Closing Date (other than in connection with the Chapter 11 cases).

Section 3.06        Intellectual Property.

(a)         Each Company owns or is licensed to use, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), all patents and patent applications, trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights, domain names and applications for registration thereof, and technology, trade secrets, proprietary information, inventions, know-how and processes, in each case necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted (the “Intellectual Property”), except for those the failure to own or license which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)          Except for exceptions to the following that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no claim has been asserted or is pending by any Person challenging or restricting the use of any such Intellectual Property or challenging the ownership, validity, registerability or enforceability of any such Intellectual Property, nor does any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any such claim.  The operation of each Company’s business as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted and the use of such Intellectual Property by each Company does not conflict with, infringe, misappropriate, dilute, misuse or otherwise violate the rights of any Person, except for such claims, infringements and violations which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Except pursuant to licenses and other user agreements entered into by each Company in the ordinary course of business and as otherwise could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Company has done anything to authorize or enable any other Person to use any such Intellectual Property.  Except for exceptions to the following that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Company has taken commercially reasonable actions to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all trade secrets used in such Company’s business.

(d)          Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will alter, impair or otherwise affect or require the consent, approval or other authorization of any other Person in respect of any right of any Company in any Intellectual Property, except to the extent that such alteration, impairment, effect, consent, approval or other authorization, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(e)         Except for exceptions to the following that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Company is subject to any settlement, covenant not to sue or other instrument, agreement or other document, or any outstanding Order.

Section 3.07         Equity Interests and Subsidiaries.

(a)          Schedule 3.07(a) attached hereto sets forth a list of (i) Borrower and each Subsidiary of Borrower and its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization as of the Closing Date and (ii) the number of each class of its Equity Interests authorized, and the number outstanding, on the Closing Date and the number of Equity Interests covered by all outstanding options, warrants, rights of conversion or purchase and similar rights on the Closing Date.  All Equity Interests of each Company are duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.  Each Loan Party is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests pledged by (or purporting to be pledged by) it under the Security Documents, free of any and all Liens (other than Permitted Liens).  As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights (including derivatives) to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or Property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any such Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of Borrower (or any economic or voting interests therein).

Section 3.15        Labor Matters.  There are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Company pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened that have resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.  The hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Company have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable Legal Requirement dealing with such matters in any manner that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.  All payments due from any Company, or for which any claim may be made against any Company, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Company except to the extent that the failure to do so has not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.  Except for exceptions to the following that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Company is bound.

On the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Exit Transactions, (a) the fair value of the properties of the Loan Parties, taken as whole, will exceed their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, taken as a whole, (b) the present fair saleable value of the Property of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, taken as a whole, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, taken as a whole, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct their business in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed, contemplated or about to be conducted following the Closing Date.

Section 3.17        Employee Benefit Plans

(a)          Each Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates is in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans except to the extent that the failure to do so has not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Employee Benefit Plan complies in all material respects, and is operated and maintained in compliance in all material respects, with all applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder except to the extent that the failure to do so has not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service for all required amendments and nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification.

(b)          No ERISA Event (i) has occurred or (ii) is expected to occur, and with respect to subsection (ii), to which any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates is reasonably expected to incur any material liability.  No Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability.  Within the last six years, no Pension Plan has been terminated, whether or not in a “standard termination” as that term is used in Section 4041 of ERISA under which any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates has any liability which has not been satisfied in full, nor has any Pension Plan (determined at any time within the last six years) with an Unfunded Pension Liability been transferred outside of the “controlled group” (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA) of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates.  Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, have not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)         With respect to Canadian Pension Plans, in each case except to the extent that the failure to do so has not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect:  (i) as of the Closing Date, no steps have been taken to terminate any Canadian Pension Plan (wholly or in part) which could result in any Company being required to make an additional contribution to the Canadian Pension Plan; (ii) no Canadian Pension Plan is a “registered pension plan”, as that term is defined in subsection 248(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), which is or was sponsored, administered or contributed to, or required to be contributed to by, any Loan Party or under which any Loan Party has any actual or potential liability, and which contains a “defined benefit provision”, as defined in subsection 147.1(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), (iii) all contributions (including employee contributions made by authorized payroll deductions or other withholdings) required to be made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the terms of each Canadian Pension Plan have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the terms of each Canadian Pension Plan, in each case in all material respects; and (iv) each Canadian Pension Plan is maintained in all material respects in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

(d)          To the extent applicable, each Foreign Plan has been established, administered and maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements of all Legal Requirements and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, in each case in all material respects except to the extent that the failure to do so has not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.  No Company has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan.  The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Plan which is funded, determined as of the end of the most recently ended, fiscal year of the respective Company on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the Property of such Foreign Plan, and for each Foreign Plan which is not funded, the obligations of such Foreign Plan are properly accrued.  All contributions or payments which are due with respect to each Foreign Plan have been made in full, in each case in all material respects.  All amounts payable under any Foreign Plan are properly reflected on the financial statements of the applicable Company.

Section 3.18        Environmental Matters.  Except for the matters described on Schedule 3.18 and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any Environmental Claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

Section 3.19        Insurance.  Each Company has insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and liabilities as are customary for companies of a similar size engaged in similar businesses in similar locations.  All insurance required to be maintained by the Companies under the immediately preceding sentence is in full force and effect, all premiums in respect thereof have been duly paid.  Except for exceptions to the following that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, all Real Property of each Company, and the use, occupancy and operation thereof, comply in all respects with all Insurance Requirements.

Section 3.20        Mortgages.  Subject to the entry of the Confirmation Order, each Mortgage is effective to create, in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable first priority Liens on, and security interests in, all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Material Properties thereunder and the proceeds thereof (excluding any Excluded Property), subject only to Permitted Liens, and when the Mortgages are filed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.11, 5.12 and 5.18, as applicable, when such Mortgage is filed in the offices specified in the local counsel opinion delivered with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.11, 5.12 and 5.18, as applicable), the Mortgages shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Material Properties and the proceeds thereof (excluding any Excluded Property), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than Permitted Liens.

(d)         Each Company and each of their respective Subsidiaries has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by each Company and its respective Subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates with all Anti-Terrorism Laws, Canadian Anti-Terrorism Laws and Sanctions Laws.

(e)          No Company nor any director or officer, nor to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, any agent, employee or other Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any Company, has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, any Company, directly or indirectly (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada); or (iv) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

Each Approved Budget delivered to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be accompanied by such supporting documentation as reasonably requested by the Required Lenders.  Each Approved Budget shall be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable.

(b)          Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on or before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on Thursday of each week (commencing on May 14, 2020) a certificate which shall include such detail as is reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower certifying that no Default or Event of Default has occurred or, if such a Default or Event of Default has occurred, specifying the nature and extent thereof and any corrective action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto, together with an Approved Budget Variance Report, each of which shall be prepared by Borrower as of the last day of the respective Variance Period or other period then most recently ended, and shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Lenders in their sole discretion.

(k)          any security interest and Lien purported to be created by any Security Document shall cease to be in full force and effect, or shall cease to give the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be created and granted under such Security Documents with respect to any material portion of the Collateral (including a valid, enforceable, perfected first priority security interest in and Lien on, such portion of the Collateral thereunder (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document)) in favor of the Collateral Agent, or shall be asserted by or on behalf of any Company not to be, a valid, enforceable, perfected, first priority (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document) security interest in or Lien on the Collateral (other than an immaterial portion) covered thereby;

(n)          there shall have occurred the termination of, or the receipt by any Company of notice of the termination of, or the occurrence of any event or condition which would, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, constitute an event of default under or permit the termination of, any one or more Data Center Leases of any Company, provided that it shall not constitute an Event of Default pursuant to this paragraph (o): (i) unless the impact of the termination of any such affected Data Center Leases, individually or in the aggregate, reduces or could reasonably be expected to reduce the Consolidated EBITDA of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Test Period commencing from the first full fiscal quarter following any such termination by at least 15% below the amount it would have been had all such terminations not occurred or (ii) if the termination of such Data Center Lease occurs as a result of (A) the expiration of any such Data Center Lease on the stated expiration date or (B)  any Company terminating such Data Center Lease in accordance with its terms in the absence of any default thereunder by any party thereto;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times:  (i) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Loan Parties accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Loan Parties (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements), anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document or otherwise to the contrary notwithstanding; and (ii) exercise any and all of its other rights and remedies under applicable Legal Requirements, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and in any event with respect to Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above,  the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Loan Parties accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Loan Parties (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements), anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document or otherwise to the contrary notwithstanding.

In addition, without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a foreclosure (or other similar exercise of remedies) by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other Disposition, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other Disposition and, in addition, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of all of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or other Disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale.

Section 8.02       Rescission.  If at any time after termination of the Commitments or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Loan Parties shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans owing by them that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Defaults (other than non-payment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 10.02, then upon the written consent of the Required Lenders (which may be given or withheld in their sole discretion) and written notice to Borrower, the termination of the Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.  The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and the other Secured Parties to a decision that may be made at the election of the Required Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to benefit Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties and do not give Borrower and/or any of the Loan Parties the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

Section 8.03        [Reserved].

Section 8.04       Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall, subject to any intercreditor or similar agreement with respect to the Obligations, be applied, in full or in part, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, promptly by the Collateral Agent as follows:

Section 9.01         Appointment.

(a)          Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as an agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby accept such designations and appointments.  Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, through its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and each of their Related Persons shall be entitled to request and receive written instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) prior to taking or not taking any actions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and except with respect to consent or consultation rights expressly set forth herein, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and any rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement and to take such actions and to exercise such powers under the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement as are delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and each Lender understands and agrees that Collateral Agent is also acting as collateral agent for the benefit of the other Secured Parties under the Second Out Term Loan Documents.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement with respect to the Indebtedness described in Sections 6.01(d) and (f) and to take such actions and to exercise such powers under the such intercreditor agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agents to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder.

(b)         Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by Collateral Agent under the provisions of the UCC or PPSA, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC (or any equivalent provision of the UCC or the PPSA), at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or at any other sale or foreclosure (or similar exercise of remedies) conducted by Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

(c)         Each Lender irrevocably appoints each other Lender as its agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable Legal Requirement a security interest can be perfected by possession or control.  Should any Lender (other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

Section 9.02        Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Company or Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.03        Exculpatory Provisions.  No Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing no Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons, (a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, covenants or obligations, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02); provided that no Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion or advice of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability, if the Agent or any of its Related Persons is not indemnified to its satisfaction (in its sole discretion), or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements including, for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Insolvency Law or that may effect a foreclosure (or similar exercise of remedies), modification or termination of Property of a Defaulting Lender under any Insolvency Laws, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  No Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (including ordinary negligence) under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as any Agent or any of their respective Related Persons shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment.  No Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof describing such Default or Event of Default is given to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document.  Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of Borrower and the other Loan Parties.  No Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

No Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall be (i) responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; pandemics, riots; business interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action; (ii) (A) required to qualify in any jurisdiction in which it is not presently qualified to perform its obligations as Agent or (B) required to take any enforcement action against a Loan Party or any other obligor outside of the United States; (iii) responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument, or document other than this Agreement and any other Loan Document to which Administrative Agent is a party, whether or not an original or a copy of such agreement has been provided to the Administrative Agent; (iv) have a duty to know or inquire as to the performance or nonperformance of any provision of any other agreement, instrument, or document other than this Agreement; or (v) responsible for nor have any duty to monitor the performance or any action of the Loan Parties, the Lenders, or any of their directors, members, officers, agents, affiliates or employee, nor shall they have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such party; the Administrative Agent may assume performance by all such Persons of their respective obligations.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on any Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to any Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder:  (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any record keeping, (iii) any comparisons with government lists, (iv) any customer notices or (v) any other procedures required under any anti-terrorism Law.

The delivery by Borrower or any other Loan Party of any reports, information and documents to the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders is for informational purposes only and the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein.

Section 9.04        Reliance by Agent.  Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, opinion, report, consent, Order, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated by a proper Person.  Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless each Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender before the making of such Loan.  Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other Advisors 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 Advisors.

Section 9.05        Delegation of Duties.  Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for (i) any delegation of a material portion of the duties of such Agent (taken as a whole) or (ii) any delegation that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower; provided, however, if Borrower fails to reply to any delegation request pursuant to this Section 9.05 within two (2) Business Days, Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent to such request; provided, further, Borrower consent shall not be required if such delegation is, in the opinion of such Agent, necessary or advisable to create, maintain, or perfect the security interest in or Lien on the Collateral.  Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates.  The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facility provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.  The Agents shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

Section 9.06        Successor Agent.  Each Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Lenders and Borrower.  In addition, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and Borrower, each Agent may be removed (with or without cause) by the Required Lenders at any time in its sole discretion, but with the prior written consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within five (5) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which successor shall be (i) a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, or an Affiliate of such institution, or (ii) another entity satisfactory to the Required Lenders; provided that if such retiring Agent is unable to find a successor Agent that is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, and the Required Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor.  After an Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX, Section 10.03 and Sections 10.08 to 10.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each of the parties of this Agreement agree that any corporation or association into which an Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which such Agent is a party, will be and become the successor under this Agreement and will have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.

Section 9.07        Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms and conditions set forth, or otherwise maintained, on the Platform with respect thereto).  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.08        Indemnification.  The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower or the Guarantors and without limiting the obligation of Borrower or the Guarantors to do so), ratably according to their respective outstanding Loans and Commitments in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.08 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such outstanding Loans and Commitments as in effect immediately before such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, the Transactions or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR RELATED PERSON); provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted solely and directly from such Agent’s or Related Person’s, as the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section 9.08 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 9.09        Lender Action.  Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures or cause any of the foregoing (through Affiliates or otherwise), with respect to any Collateral or any other Property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate Obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable Legal Requirements to credit bid or purchase any portion of the Collateral at any sale or foreclosure (or similar exercise of remedies) thereof referred to in Section 9.01(b); provided that nothing contained in this Section shall affect any Lender’s right to credit bid its pro rata share of the Obligations pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 9.10       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 applicable withholding Tax.  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 because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to a Loan Document without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, 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 all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

Section 9.11         Lender’s Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgements

(a)          Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Events hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries.  No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent or Related Person of any Agent has made any representation or warranty to it.  Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility (either express or implied) to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning any Loan Party, including the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, that may come in to the possession of an Agent or any of its Related Persons.

(a)         Agents under Security Documents and Guarantee.  Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guarantee, the Collateral and the Loan Documents.  Subject to Section 10.02, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) in connection with a sale or Disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other Disposition of assets or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guarantee pursuant to Section 7.10 or with respect to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.02) have otherwise consented (it being understood and agreed with respect to release of Liens under this subsection that the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in each case, may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the release of Liens being made in fully compliance of the Loans Documents).

(b)         Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee.  Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other Disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other Disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or Disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other Disposition.

(c)          Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Loan Documents.

(i)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral subject to any Disposition permitted by the Loan Documents and to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any Person subject to such Disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents (it being understood and agreed with respect to release of Liens under this subsection that the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in each case, may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the release of Liens being made in fully compliance of the Loans Documents).

(ii)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Secured Obligations under clauses (a) and (b) of the definition thereof (other than contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired, upon request of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any other Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required or reasonably requested to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Secured Obligations under clause (c) of the definition thereof.  Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its Property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for (i) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or Lien granted under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing or any document, financing statement, Mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (iii) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral.  The actions described in items (i) through (iii) shall be the sole responsibility of Borrower.

Section 9.13        Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Insolvency Laws relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)          to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 9.14        Hypothecary Representative. For the purposes of the grant of security under the laws of the Province of Quebec (Canada) which may now or in the future be required to be provided by any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed by each of the Secured Parties, for themselves and for each affiliate that is a Secured Party, hereto to act as hypothecary representative (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) for all present and future Secured Parties (in such capacity, the “Hypothecary Representative”) in order to hold any hypothec granted under the laws of the Province of Quebec (Canada) and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under the relevant deed of hypothec and applicable law (with the power to delegate any such rights or duties).

(b)         The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Agents, each Lender and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, fines, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and related expenses, including reasonable Advisors fees, charges and disbursements (collectively, “Claims”), incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby or the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder, (ii) any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials, on, at, under or from any Property owned, leased or operated by any Company at any time, or any Environmental Claim or threatened Environmental Claim related in any way to any Company, (v) any past, present or future non-compliance with, or violation of, Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits applicable to any Company, or any Company’s business, or any Property presently or formerly owned, leased, or operated by any Company or their predecessors in interest, (iv) the environmental condition of any Property owned, leased, or operated by any Company at any time, or the applicability of any Legal Requirements relating to such Property, whether or not occasioned wholly or in part by any condition, accident or event caused by any act or omission of any Company, (vii) the imposition of any environmental Lien encumbering any Real Property, (viii) the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby (including the syndication of the Facility) or (ix) any actual or prospective action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party or otherwise, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, apply (x) to disputes solely between or among the Indemnitees or disputes solely between or among Indemnitees and their respective Affiliates, other than disputes arising out of any act or omission on the part of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification in this Agreement shall extend to disputes between or among the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, acting in such capacity, on the one hand, and one or more Lenders, or one or more of their Affiliates, on the other hand, (y) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment to have directly resulted solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s controlled or controlling affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or representatives (collectively, such Indemnitee’s “Indemnitee Related Persons”), or (z) losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising out of a material breach by such Indemnitee or any of its Indemnitee Related Persons of its obligations under any Loan Document (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

(c)          The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, that, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or Lender, which consent(s) will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, the Loan Parties will not enter into any settlement of a Claim in respect of the subject matter of clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 10.03(b) unless such settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such Claim of all Indemnitees.

(d)          The provisions of this Section 10.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and any other Secured Obligations, the release of any Guarantor or of all or any portion of the Collateral, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents or any Lender.  All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(e)          To the extent that the Loan Parties fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Agents or any Related Person of any of the foregoing, under Section 10.03(a) or (b) in accordance with Section 10.03(g), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents or such Related Person such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third party); provided that the unreimbursed Claim was incurred by or asserted against any of the Agents in its capacity as such.  For purposes of this Section 10.03(e), a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

(f)          To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such Indemnitee is found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any of its Indemnitee Related Persons.

(g)          All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable not later than 10 days after receipt of demand therefor.

Section 10.04       Successors and Assigns.

(a)          The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Loan Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, which consent may be withheld in their respective sole discretion (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent expressly provided in Section 10.04(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b)         Any Lender shall have the right at any time to assign to one or more assignees (other than to any Company or any Affiliate thereof, any Competitor or any Defaulting Lender or a natural person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i)          except in the case of (A) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (B) contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in this Section 10.04(b)(i) in the aggregate or (C) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 and the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000; provided that the foregoing amounts may be reduced with the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default or Default under Section 8.01(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii)          each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(iii)        the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $1,750; provided that such fee shall not be payable in the case of an assignment by any Lender to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such Lender;

(iv)         the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(v)          each of the Administrative Agent and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of, or enforcing provisions relating to, Eligible Assignees.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 10.04(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement (provided that any liability of Borrower to such assignee under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable thereunder by Borrower in the absence of such assignment, except to the extent any such amounts are attributable to a Change in Law occurring after the date of such assignment), and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03).

(c)          The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of and stated interest on 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 and binding in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)          Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 10.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 10.04(b).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with the requirements of this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(e).

(e)          Any Lender shall have the right at any time, without the consent of, or notice to Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Person to sell participations to any Person (other than any Company, any Competitor or any Affiliate thereof, a Defaulting Lender or a natural person) (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 owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) is described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the proviso to Section 10.02(b) and (2) directly and adversely affects such Participant.  Subject to Section 10.04(f), each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 (but subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 2.16) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.04(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).  To the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees in writing to be subject to Section 2.14(c) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants, the principal amounts of and stated interest on, and terms of, its participations (the “Participant Register”).  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender (and Borrower, to the extent that the Participant requests payment from Borrower) shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  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, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1 (c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f)          A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or the greater payment results from a Change in Law after the date the participation was sold to the Participant.

(g)          Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and this Section 10.04(g) 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.  Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans or similar extensions of credit, such Lender may, without the consent of Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.

(h)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, the option to provide to Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof; provided further that nothing herein shall make the SPC a “Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement, obligate Borrower or any other Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to deal with such SPC directly, obligate Borrower or any other Loan Party in any manner to any greater extent than they were obligated to the Granting Lender, or increase costs or expenses of Borrower.  The Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deal solely with, and obtain good discharge from, the Granting Lender and shall not be required to investigate or otherwise seek the consent or approval of any SPC, including for the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, before the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04(h), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any Non-Public Information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i)          The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Legal Requirement, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 10.05      Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the reports, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, failure of any condition set forth in Article IV to be satisfied or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation (other than (i) contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable, and (ii) so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated).  The provisions of Article IX and Sections 2.12 to 2.15, 9.06, 10.03 and 10.08 to 10.10 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.06     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 and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  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 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.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.07     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 10.08     Right of Setoff; Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) (excluding Excluded Accounts) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.  None of any Agent, any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.  To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lender enforces any security interests or exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Insolvency Law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 10.09      Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)          This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would apply the laws of another jurisdiction, except to the extent the law of the State of New York is superseded by the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)          Each Loan Party 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 proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, in such federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal Requirements.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)          Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.09(b).  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, 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 any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than facsimile or email) in Section 10.01.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

(e)          If any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Agreement, or any Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, such Agent may, at its option, after sending written notice of the same to the applicable other parties hereto, refuse to act until such time as it (a) receives a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing delivery of such assets or property or (b) receives a written instruction, executed by each of the parties involved in such disagreement or dispute, in a form reasonably acceptable to such Agent, directing delivery of such assets or property. The Agents will be entitled to act on any such written instruction or final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction without further question, inquiry or consent.  The Agents may file an interpleader action in a state or federal court, and upon the filing thereof, the Agents will be relieved of all liability as to such assets or property and will be entitled to recover reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such interpleader action.

Section 10.10      Waiver of Jury Trial . EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10.

Section 10.11       Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 10.12     Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ and Approved Funds’ directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, including accountants, legal counsel and other Advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to the terms hereof; it being agreed that each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be responsible for the compliance by each of its Affiliates and Approved Funds and each of its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, including accountants, legal counsel and other Advisors compliance with this Section 10.12), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or any quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) (in which event the applicable Administrative Agent or Lender shall promptly inform Borrower in advance to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and will cooperate with Borrower, at Borrower’s sole expense, in securing a protective order with respect thereto to the extent lawfully permitted to do so), (c) to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which event the applicable Administrative Agent or Lender shall promptly inform Borrower in advance to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and will cooperate with Borrower, at Borrower’s sole expense, in securing a protective order with respect thereto to the extent lawfully permitted to do so), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under the Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; provided that the disclosure of any such Information to any such Person shall be made subject to the acknowledgment and acceptance by such Persons that such Information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this Section 10.12 or as is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, as agreed in any confidential information memorandum or other marketing materials), (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations; provided that such Information shall be provided on a confidential basis on substantially the same terms set forth in this Section 10.12 or as is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or (iii) any actual or prospective investor in an SPC, (g) with the consent of Borrower, (h) to any rating agency when required by it, (i) to an investor or prospective investor in securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender that also agrees that Information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating an investment in such securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender or to a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for securities issued by such Approved Fund, (j) to any assignee or pledge under Section 10.04(g), or (k) to the extent such Information (x) is publicly available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.12 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower or any Subsidiary.  In addition, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  For the purposes of this Section 10.12, “Information” means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its business unless (x) it is clearly labeled “Public-Contains Only Public Information,” or (y) any such information is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis before disclosure by Borrower.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 10.13      Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.13 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 10.14      Assignment and Assumption.  Each Lender to become a party to this Agreement (other than the Administrative Agent and any other Lender that is a signatory hereto) shall do so by delivering to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption duly executed by each of the Persons required to be party thereto.

(a)          Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses available to it as a Guarantor arising out of the joint and several nature of its respective duties and obligations hereunder (including any defense contained in Article VII).

(b)          Each 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 Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates.  Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise 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 such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other.  The Loan Parties 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 Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, 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 any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party 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 any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.  Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it 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.  Each Loan Party 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 such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 10.17      Reinstatement.  To the extent that any payments on the Indebtedness or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, receiver and manager, interim receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law or other Insolvency Law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Indebtedness so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Secured Parties’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect.  In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and each Loan Party shall take (and shall cause each other Loan Party to take) such action as may be requested by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders to effect such reinstatement.

Section 10.18      USA Patriot Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 10.19      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 Bank that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

Section 10.22      Currency Indemnity.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount  due under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given.  For this purpose “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Administrative Agent is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency in accordance with its normal practice at its head office.  In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount due, the Loan Parties shall, on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by the Administrative Agent on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other Loan Document in the Currency Due.  If the amount of the Currency Due which the Administrative Agent is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, Borrower shall indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency.  This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or under any judgment or order.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers or other authorized signatories as of the day and year first above written.
