not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to any Benchmark hereunder or with respect to any alternative, comparable, successor or replacement rate thereof (including any Benchmark Replacement), or any calculation, component definition thereof or rate referenced in the definition thereof, including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.14(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or a Term RFR Transition Event, and (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.14(c), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.14(c) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the applicable existing Benchmark, or have the same volume or liquidity as such Benchmark prior to the discontinuance or unavailability of such Benchmark. In addition, the discontinuation of any Benchmark and any alternative, successor or replacement reference rate may result in a mismatch between the reference rate referenced in this Agreement and the Borrowers’ other financial instruments, including potentially those that are intended as hedges. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any alternative, successor or replacement rate and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, with all determinations of such alternative, successor or replacement rate by the Administrative Agent to be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain such alternative, successor or replacement rate, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall have no liability to any Borrower or Guarantor or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
 
Section 1.05.       Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. Calculations hereunder relating to the Commitment shall always be calculated in Dollars by converting that portion of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, RFR Loans, or Letter of Credit Liability attributable to, or made in, an Alternative Currency into its Dollar Equivalent. The Administrative Agent shall determine the applicable Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for making such calculations. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable Currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur.

ARTICLE 2
Amount and Terms of the Credit Facility
 
Section 2.01.         Loans.
 
(a)        Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender having a Commitment severally agrees to make Loans to the Borrowers, in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding; provided that, after making any such Loans: (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations would not exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Maximum Commitment,  (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations would not exceed the Maximum Commitment, and (iii) with respect to Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations (denominated in an Alternative Currency on an aggregate basis) would not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit; provided that the Conditions to Borrowing shall have been satisfied (or waived by the Lenders holding the applicable Commitments) as of the date of the funding of the Loans (the date of each funding, or funding of any other Loans hereunder, a “Funding Date”). The obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint; provided, that the failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Loan required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Loan required to be advanced hereunder. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the Facility may be reborrowed during the Availability Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, interest on the Loans (if and when funded) shall commence to accrue from the applicable Funding Date thereof.
 
(b)          Loan Notice. The Borrowers shall request the Loans by delivery of an irrevocable written loan notice (the “Loan Notice”) signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Each Loan Notice:  (a) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least (i) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of the funding of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan; (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of the funding of a Term RFR Loan or a Daily Simple RFR Loan (other than in Dollars); (iii) two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of funding of a Daily Simple RFR Loan in Dollars; or (iv) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of funding of a Reference Rate Loan in Dollars; and (b) must specify: (A) the applicable Borrower(s); (B) the amount of such Borrowing; (C) the Interest Option; (D) the Interest Period therefor; and (E) the Currency. Any Loan Notice received by the Administrative Agent after the applicable time specified in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been given by the applicable Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day. Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall reasonably promptly notify each Lender of the principal amount of the Loans to be made and the amount of its respective Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans that it will be obligated to fund on such Funding Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers may not request Term RFR Loans in Sterling, Swiss Francs or Canadian Dollars unless a Term RFR Transition Event and its related Term RFR Transition Date with respect to Sterling, Swiss Francs or Canadian Dollars has occurred and the applicable Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior Benchmark for Sterling, Swiss Francs or Canadian Dollars.
 
(c)        Funding. On each Funding Date, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the Loans requested under clause (b) above by wire transfer in Same Day Funds in the applicable Currency at the office designated
 
40

by the Administrative Agent. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3 as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deposit such proceeds in Same Day Funds in the applicable Currency in the account specified in the applicable Loan Notice.
 
(d)         Availability of Funds; Funding by Lenders; Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to each Funding Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on each Funding Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make such amount in the applicable Currency available to the Administrative Agent on each Funding Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount on each Funding Date. If the Administrative Agent has made such corresponding amount available to the Borrowers but such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Borrowers shall pay within two (2) Business Days of such notice, such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from the relevant Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder. If (a) the Administrative Agent declines to make a requested amount available to the Borrowers until such time as all applicable Lenders have made payment to the Administrative Agent, (b) a Lender fails to fund to the Administrative Agent all or any portion of the Loans required to be funded by such Lender hereunder prior to the time specified in this Agreement and (c) such Lender’s failure results in the Administrative Agent failing to make a corresponding amount available to the Borrowers on a Funding Date, then such Lender shall not receive interest hereunder with respect to the requested amount of such Lender’s Loans for the period commencing with the time specified in this Agreement for receipt of payment by the Borrowers through and including the time of such Borrower’s receipt of the requested amount and the Borrowers shall have no obligation to pay interest to such Lender on any amounts not so advanced. Nothing in this Section 2.01(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause Section 2.01(d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
 
(e)          Reallocation of Loans.  At any time, the Borrowers may request a reallocation of the then-outstanding Allocated Loan Amounts and, upon such request, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consent to such reallocation and the Administrative Agent shall update the Register and the Participant Register accordingly.
 
Section 2.02.          Increase in the Maximum Commitment.
 
(a)         Request for Increase. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.02, upon delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative of a Facility Increase Request, the Borrowers may permanently increase the Maximum Commitment; provided that the Maximum Commitment as increased pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall not exceed $1,000,000,000 at any one time. Such permanent increases may be effected in one or more requested increases, in minimum increments of $25,000,000 (or such other amount as agreed by the Administrative Agent) (each such increase, shall be referred to herein as a “Facility Increase”).
 
41

(b)          Effective Date. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall determine the effective date of any Facility Increase (the “Increase Effective Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of the Increase Effective Date.
 
(c)          Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. The following are conditions precedent to such increase:
 
(i)         the Administrative Agent shall consent in writing to such Facility Increase in the Administrative Agent’s discretion (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
 
(ii)          no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of such increase (or such shorter period as agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Facility Increase Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by or on behalf of the Borrower Representative approving or consenting to such increase;
 
(iii)        on or prior to the proposed date of such Facility Increase, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, to the extent invoiced at least two (2) Business Days prior to the required payment date, all fees due and owing in connection with such Facility Increase;
 
(iv)        if requested by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the Borrowers executing the Facility Increase Request shall execute replacement Notes payable to the Administrative Agent reflecting the Facility Increase;
 
(v)         on the Increase Effective Date, (A) any existing Lender or Lenders agree(s) to increase its Commitment to support the Facility Increase, in its sole discretion, and/or (B) any additional Lender or Lenders shall have joined the Facility in accordance with Section 2.18 or Section 10.06 hereof, and the aggregate Commitment of such increasing and additional Lenders shall be at least equal to the amount of such Facility Increase;
 
(vi)        all of the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in Article 4 and in any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the Facility Increase to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date;
 
(vii)       either no Review Event has occurred and is continuing or if a Review Event has occurred and is continuing, a Review Event Cure Plan has been agreed with respect thereto and the Borrowers are in compliance with such agreed Review Event Cure Plan;
 
(viii)      no Excess Prepayment Event has occurred and is continuing (it being understood that such Excess Prepayment Event shall cease only upon payment in full of any Excess Prepayment Amount);
 
(ix)         the Borrowers are in compliance with the Financial Covenants; and
 
(x)        For the avoidance of doubt, such increases provided under this Section 2.02 may be provided by existing Lender(s) on a non-ratable basis.
 
42

(d)          Reallocation Following Facility Increase. On any Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility Increase pursuant to this Section 2.02 (whether pursuant to a new Lender joining the Facility or an existing Lender increasing its Commitment), the Administrative Agent will reallocate the outstanding Loans and participation in Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect thereto, the ratio of each Lender’s (including each new or increasing Lender’s) share of the outstanding Loans and participation in Letters of Credit is in the same proportion as that of such Lender’s individual Commitment over the total Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, such reallocation may require the reallocation of Loans from an existing Lender to a new or increasing Lender. In connection with any such reallocation of the outstanding Loans, (i) the Administrative Agent will give advance notice sufficient to comply with the applicable timing period in Section 2.01 to each Lender which is required to fund any amount or receive any partial repayment in connection therewith and (ii) the applicable Lender or Lenders will fund such amounts up to their respective shares of the Loans being reallocated and the Administrative Agent shall remit to any applicable Lenders its applicable portion of such funded amount if necessary to give effect to the reallocation of such Loans.
 
Section 2.03.         Letters of Credit.
 
(a)          Letter of Credit Commitment.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, the Administrative Agent shall cause each Letter of Credit Issuer to issue one or more Letters of Credit in such aggregate face amounts and Currencies as any Borrower may request; provided that: (i) after giving effect to the issuance of any such Letter of Credit, (A) the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations as of such date will not exceed the Maximum Commitment as of such date; (B) the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Liability will not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit as of such date; and (C) with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies, the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations (denominated in an Alternative Currency on an aggregate basis) would not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit; (ii) the expiry date of the Letter of Credit shall not be later than the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months after the date of issuance without the relevant Letter of Credit Issuers’ consent, in its sole discretion, or (B) thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date (unless such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized on or before the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date); and (iii) each Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms enjoin or restrain such Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to any such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date or shall impose upon such Letter of Credit Issuer any other loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith deems material to it and for which such Letter of Credit Issuer is not reimbursed hereunder, or (B) the applicable Borrower has not provided the information necessary for such Letter of Credit Issuer to issue the Letter of Credit.
 
(b)          Request. Each request for a Letter of Credit (a “Request for Letter of Credit”) shall be submitted by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith), together with an Application for Letter of Credit, for the Letter of Credit Issuer, on or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Request for Letter of Credit and the terms of the requested Letter of Credit.  Each Letter of Credit Issuer’s obligation to issue a Letter of Credit shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than clause (a) thereto).
 
43

(c)          Letter of Credit Fees. The applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in consideration for the issuance of Letters of Credit issued for its account hereunder, a non-refundable fee equal to the Applicable Margin (applicable to Loans in such Currency) as computed on the average daily face amount of each such Letter of Credit, less the amount of any draws on such Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable in Dollars quarterly in arrears on (i) the later of (A) the fifteenth (15th) Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment) and (B) the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt of an invoice from the Administrative Agent, commencing on the issuance date and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding and (ii) the Maturity Date; and for the benefit of each Letter of Credit Issuer, and for such Letter of Credit Issuer’s own account, in consideration of the issuance and fronting of Letters of Credit, a fronting fee, with respect to each Letter of Credit, at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum, as computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears, which fee shall be waived by Mizuho if it is the sole Lender in the Facility, which accrued amounts shall be payable in Dollars quarterly in arrears on (i) the later of (A) the fifteenth (15th) Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter and (B) the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt of an invoice from the such Letter of Credit Issuer, commencing on the issuance date and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding and (ii) the Maturity Date. In addition, the applicable Borrower shall pay directly to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of each Letter of Credit Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.  Any such fees accrued pursuant to this clause (c) shall be paid in cash, unless no later than the date falling two (2) Business Days prior to such applicable Quarter Date, the Borrower Representative elects by written notice to the Administrative Agent to pay such fee amount in kind (in lieu of payment in cash) in which case such fee shall be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Loan on the relevant due date, subject to the following conditions: (1) the Principal Obligations shall not exceed the Maximum Commitments after giving effect to such fees paid in kind, (2) as of the Quarter Date, there are not sufficient funds in the Borrower Collateral Accounts to pay all such accrued fees in cash, and (3) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing. Thereafter, any such amounts shall be treated as part of the principal amount of the relevant Loan and shall bear interest in accordance with Section 2.05(a) of this Agreement.
 
(d)          Participation by the Lenders. Each Lender shall and does hereby participate ratably with each Letter of Credit Issuer in each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder to the extent of its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Liability with respect to each such Letter of Credit, and shall share in all rights and obligations resulting therefrom, including, without limitation: (i) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any reimbursement of the amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit, including any interest payable with respect thereto; (ii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee pursuant to Section 2.05(c) hereof (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall take into account the Applicable Margin in respect of such Letter of Credit); and (iii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its additional costs pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof; and (iv) the obligation to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, in immediately available funds, its Pro Rata Share of any unreimbursed drawing under a Letter of Credit.
 
(e)          Payment of Letter of Credit. In consideration for the issuance by a Letter of Credit Issuer of a Letter of Credit for the account of a Borrower, such Borrower hereby authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Finance Parties and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to disburse directly, as a Borrowing hereunder by such Borrower, to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, with notice to such Borrower, in immediately available funds an amount in the applicable currency equal to the stated amount of each draft drawn under each such Letter of Credit, plus all interest, reasonable costs and
 
44

expenses, and fees due to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower. Subject to receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount disbursed by the Administrative Agent in the applicable currency on the Business Day on which the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer honors any such draft or incurs or is owed any such interest, costs, expenses or fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the applicable Borrower of any disbursements made by the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof. Any such disbursement made by the Lenders to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer on account of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Term RFR Loan, as the case may be, with a one-month Interest Period if such disbursement is in an Alternative Currency (other than Sterling, Swiss Francs or Canadian Dollars), or a Daily Simple RFR Loan if such disbursement is in Dollars, Sterling, Swiss Francs or Canadian Dollars, in each case, to the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Loan Notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.01(b) hereof. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may conclusively rely on the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer as to the amount due to such Letter of Credit Issuer by reason of any draft of a Letter of Credit or due a Letter of Credit Issuer under any Request for Letter of Credit. The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Section 2.03(e) shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall, irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions to the making of any Loans described in Section 3.02 hereof be honored in accordance with this Section 2.03(e) under all circumstances unless there is an Event of Default or Default under Section 8.01(h), including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a draw under a Letter of Credit; (iv) any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (v) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or (vi) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default.
 
(f)          Borrower Inspection. The applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower shall promptly notify the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer in writing. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against each Letter of Credit Issuer and its correspondents, unless such prompt written notice is given as aforesaid.
 
(g)          Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and each Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, the applicable Letter of Credit
 
45

Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Administrative Agent nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. The applicable Borrower(s) assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Administrative Agent, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of a Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 2.03(d) hereof. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and any such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
 
(h)         Acceleration of Undrawn Amounts. Should the Administrative Agent demand payment of the Obligations hereunder prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Borrowers, may take one or more of the following actions: (i) declare the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuers to issue Letters of Credit hereunder terminated, whereupon such obligations shall forthwith terminate without any other notice of any kind; or (ii) declare the outstanding Letter of Credit Liability to be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived, and demand that the applicable Borrowers pay, in the applicable Currency (unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in writing), to the Administrative Agent for deposit in a segregated interest-bearing cash collateral account, as security for its Obligations, an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn stated amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of the applicable Borrowers then outstanding at the time such notice is given. Unless otherwise required by law, upon the full and final payment of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers any amounts remaining in said cash collateral account.
 
Section 2.04.         Use of Proceeds.
 
(a)          The Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loans and the issuances of Letters of Credit to finance any activities of K-INFRA and any direct or indirect subsidiaries or vehicles thereof, to provide working capital or for any other purposes permitted under the Constitutional Documents of K-INFRA and any subsidiaries or vehicles thereof.
 
(b)          The Borrowers shall not, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Holding Vehicles not to, take any action with respect to the proceeds of any Loans that is in violation of the Margin Regulations.
 
(c)          Neither the Lenders nor any Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit and neither the Lenders nor any Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not any Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit are for purposes permitted under its Constitutional
 
46

Documents. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any issuance of any Letter of Credit, or acceptance of any other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by Lenders or Agents as to whether any investment by a Borrower is permitted by the terms of the applicable Borrower’s Constitutional Documents.
 
Section 2.05.          Interest; Fees.
 
(a)          Interest Rate.
 
(i)          Eurocurrency Rate. The unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the Eurocurrency Rate in effect for the applicable Interest Period for such Currency plus the Applicable Margin.
 
(ii)          Reference Rate; Cost of Funds Rate. The unpaid principal amount of each Reference Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the Reference Rate in effect for the applicable Interest Period. To the extent applicable, any Loans bearing interest at the Cost of Funds Rate in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the Cost of Funds Rate in effect for the applicable Interest Period.
 
(iii)          RFR Loans.
 
(A)          The unpaid principal amount of each Term RFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the applicable Term RFR in effect for the applicable Interest Period for such Currency plus the Applicable Margin.
 
(B)          The unpaid principal amount of each Daily Simple RFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the applicable Daily Simple RFR for such Currency on each day during such applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
 
(iv)         Interest Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall calculate each interest rate applicable to the Borrowings hereunder in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Borrower and to the Lenders of each rate of interest so calculated, and its calculation thereof shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid and at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans, in each case in accordance with the priority of payments as expressly provided herein.
 
(v)          Default Interest. If any principal of, or interest on, the Obligations is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), such overdue amounts shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws) at a rate that is equal to the Default Rate. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.05 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not in and of itself constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Finance Party.
 
(vi)          Payment in Kind. On each Interest Payment Date, all interest accruing on the relevant Loan for such Interest Period shall be paid in cash, unless, no later than the date falling
 
47

two (2) Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date, the Borrower Representative elects by written notice to the Administrative Agent to pay such interest amount in kind (in lieu of payment in cash), in which case such interest amount shall be capitalized and added to the principal amount of such Loan (such interest so paid in kind, “PIK Interest”), subject to the following conditions: (1) the Principal Obligations shall not exceed the Maximum Commitments after giving effect to such interest paid in kind, (2) as of the Interest Payment Date, there are not sufficient funds in the Borrower Collateral Accounts to pay all accrued interest on the Loans in cash and (3) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing. For greater certainty, if any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any PIK Interest and such deduction or withholding constitutes Excluded Taxes, the amount deducted and withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority shall be considered paid to the Recipient and not capitalized and added to the principal amount of such Loan. Any PIK Interest shall upon and after being so capitalized, be treated as part of the principal amount of the relevant Loan, shall bear interest in accordance with this Section 2.05(a) and shall be payable in accordance with the applicable repayment and/or prepayment provisions of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent’s determination of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding at any time shall be conclusive and binding, absent demonstrable error. For the avoidance of doubt, the Conditions to Borrowing set forth in Section 3.02 shall not apply to the payment in kind of any interest amounts pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(vi) (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any such conditions specified in this Section 2.05(a)(vi)).
 
(vii)        Interest Act (Canada) Disclosure.  For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.
 
(b)          Unused Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share an unused fee calculated daily equal to the Unused Rate multiplied by the amount by which the average daily Maximum Commitments during the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeded the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily Principal Obligations during such period, calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and payable in Dollars. The unused fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following each Quarter Date (with such initial payment date being July 22, 2024). The unused fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. Any such unused fees accrued pursuant to this clause (b) shall be paid in cash, unless no later than the date falling two (2) Business Days prior to such applicable Quarter Date, the Borrower Representative elects by written notice to the Administrative Agent to pay such fee amount in kind (in lieu of payment in cash), in which case such fee amount shall be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Loan on the relevant due date, subject to the following conditions: (1) the Principal Obligations shall not exceed the Maximum Commitments after giving effect to such fees paid in kind, (2) as of the applicable Quarter Date, there are not sufficient funds in the Borrower Collateral Accounts to pay all such accrued unused fees in cash and (3) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing. Thereafter, any such capitalized amounts shall be treated as part of the principal amount of the relevant Loan and shall bear interest in accordance with Section 2.05(a) of this Agreement.
 
(c)          Payment of Interest.
 
48

(i)            Accrual of Interest. Interest on the Loans and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal or wire transfer of such Borrowing by the Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.05, notwithstanding whether the Borrowers received the benefit of such Borrowing as of such date. With regard to the repayment of the Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) has been received in Same Day Funds by the Administrative Agent.
 
(ii)         Interest Payment Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (i) shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, (ii) shall be due and payable on each other date of any reduction of the Obligations hereunder (solely with respect to the portion of the Obligations so prepaid (if any)), (iii) with respect to any Obligation with respect to which any Borrower is in default, shall be due and payable at any time and from time to time following such default upon demand by Administrative Agent and (iv) in the event of any Conversion of any Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, accrued interest on such applicable Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such Conversion. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
 
(d)          Computations of Interest and Fees. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan and RFR Loan (other than RFR Loans denominated in Sterling) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days (provided that Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies typically calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 days (or 366, as the case may be) shall be calculated on such basis), and (ii) each RFR Loan denominated in Sterling and Reference Rate Loan (other than when the Reference Rate is calculated based off Daily Simple RFR for Dollars) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 days (or 366, as the case may be).
 
(e)          Rollovers. No later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the termination of each Interest Period related to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Term RFR Loan, the applicable Borrower(s) shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (which notice may be via fax, electronic mail, or by telephone, if confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) (a “Rollover Notice”) whether it desires to Rollover such Loan at a different Interest Period. Each such notice shall also specify the length of the Interest Period selected by the applicable Borrower(s), with respect to such Rollover. If the applicable Borrower fails to timely give the Administrative Agent such notice with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or any Term RFR Loan, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Eurocurrency Rate Loan as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or such Term RFR Loan as a Term RFR Loan, in each case, with the same Interest Period on the expiration the preceding Interest Period.
 
(f)          Conversions. Any Borrower shall have the right, with respect to: (i) any Reference Rate Loan, on any Business Day, to convert such Reference Rate Loan to either (A) a Term RFR Loan in Dollars or (B) a Daily Simple RFR Loan in Dollars; (ii) any Daily Simple RFR Loan in Dollars, on any Business Day, to convert such Daily Simple RFR Loan to a Term RFR Loan in Dollars (together with any conversion in clause (i)(A), a “Term SOFR Conversion Date”); (iii) any Term RFR Loan in Dollars, on any Business Day, to convert such Term RFR Loan to a Daily Simple RFR Loan in Dollars (together with any conversion in clause (i)(B), a “Daily Simple SOFR Conversion Date”); and (iv) any RFR Loan in Dollars on any Business Day (a “Reference Rate Conversion Date”), to convert such RFR Loan to a Reference Rate Loan; provided that the applicable Borrower shall, on such Conversion Date, make the
 
49

payments required by Section 2.11 hereof, if any; in either case, by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (which notice may be via fax, electronic mail, or by telephone, if confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto (a “Conversion Notice”) of such selection no later than (x) 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Term SOFR Conversion Date, (y) 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to such Daily Simple SOFR Conversion Date or (z) on such Reference Rate Conversion Date. Each Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon notification thereof to the Administrative Agent.
 
Section 2.06.         Notes; Payment of Obligations.
 
(a)        Notes. The Loans to be made by the Lenders to the Borrowers hereunder, if so requested by any Lender, shall be evidenced by promissory notes of applicable Borrower. Each Note shall be: (i) payable to the Lenders or their registered assigns at the principal office of the Administrative Agent; (ii) bear interest in accordance with Section 2.05(a); (iii) in the form of Exhibit A hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith); and (iv) made by the applicable Borrower.
 
(b)          Maturity. The principal amount (including PIK Interest) of the Loans outstanding, together with any accrued interest thereon, and all accrued fees and other amounts due and payable hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, and the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender any such outstanding amounts due on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable).
 
(c)          Payments Generally. The Borrowers shall make each payment required under the Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders to which such payment is owed, and such payment shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff by the Borrowers, in Dollars or, with respect to Borrowings and any accrued interest thereon, in the same currency in which the relevant amount was remitted and in Same Day Funds not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified herein. Funds received after 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day following receipt of such funds and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. Each Lender shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of Lenders on the Obligations. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender’s lending office. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
 
(d)          Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrowers have 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 Borrowers have 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, in Same Day Funds 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 Eurocurrency Rate, Daily Simple RFR or Term RFR, as the case may be plus the Applicable Margin. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
 
50

Section 2.07.         Prepayments.
 
(a)          Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrowers may, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty, with prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m.: (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loans; (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date with respect to any Term RFR Loans or Daily Simple RFR Loans (other than in Dollars); (iii) two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date with respect to any Term RFR Loans or Daily Simple RFR Loans in Dollars and (iv) on the requested date with respect to any Reference Rate Loans if such date is a Business Day, prepay the principal of the Obligations then outstanding, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time; provided that if any Borrower shall prepay the principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term RFR Loan on any date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower shall make the payments required by Section 2.11 hereof. Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment and the type(s) of Loans and the relevant Allocated Loan Amounts to apply such prepayment to be prepaid. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Any such voluntary prepayment received after the close of business in New York City on the date specified in such notice shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such amount.
 
(b)          Mandatory Prepayments.
 
(i)        Excess Loans Outstanding. If, on any day, the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations exceeds the Maximum Commitment (including, without limitation, as a result of a change in the Spot Rate as of any Revaluation Date) (each, an “Excess Prepayment Event”), then the applicable Borrower shall pay such excess (the “Excess Prepayment Amount”) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Finance Parties, in immediately available funds, no later than two (2) Business Days following the earlier of the Borrowers’ knowledge thereof and written notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such Excess Prepayment Event.
 
(ii)          Asset Coverage Ratio. If, in the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate, the Asset Coverage Ratio is less than the Minimum Asset Coverage Ratio, within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of occurrence of such Asset Coverage Ratio breach, Borrowers shall: (x) repay all or a portion of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding in an aggregate amount sufficient to cause the Asset Coverage Ratio (after giving effect to such repayment) to be greater than or equal to the Maintenance Asset Coverage Ratio, and/or (y) provide to the Administrative Agent a plan of action (a “Required Asset Coverage Plan”) sufficient to increase the Asset Coverage Ratio to be not less than the Maintenance Asset Coverage Ratio within one-hundred and eighty (180) calendar days of the date of occurrence of such Asset Coverage Ratio breach (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders may consent in their sole discretion).  Any such Required Asset Coverage Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Required Lenders, in their reasonable discretion; provided that if no such plan shall have been provided or approved in accordance with the foregoing, all outstanding Obligations shall become immediately due and owing. The Borrowers shall diligently pursue any Required Asset Coverage Plan in good faith and shall keep the Administrative Agent informed of the status of any such Required Asset Coverage Plan.  The Borrowers shall use any proceeds received in connection with such Required Asset Coverage Plan to repay all or a portion of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding until the Asset Coverage Ratio (after giving effect to such repayment) is greater than or equal to the Maintenance Asset Coverage Ratio.
 
51

(iii)        Percival Security Condition Failure. Borrowers shall prepay any and all outstanding Loans no later than two (2) Business Days following the Percival Security Condition Deadline if the Percival Security Condition has not been satisfied (such failure of the Percival Security Condition, aa “Percival Security Condition Failure”). For the avoidance of doubt, Borrowers will not be permitted to borrow any Loans following a Percival Security Condition Failure until the Percival Security Condition has been satisfied.
 
(iv)        Account Condition Failure. Borrowers shall prepay any and all outstanding Loans no later than two (2) Business Days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may consent in its sole discretion) following the Account Condition Deadline if the Account Condition has not been satisfied (such failure of the Account Condition, an “Account Condition Failure”). For the avoidance of doubt, Borrowers will not be permitted to borrow any Loans following an Account Condition Failure until the Account Condition has been satisfied.
 
(c)          Asset Proceeds.
 
(i)            If the Asset Coverage Ratio stated in the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate (after giving pro forma effect to the transaction giving rise to such receipt of Asset Proceeds) is less than or equal to the Maintenance Asset Coverage Ratio, then, within five (5) Business Days of receipt by each Borrower of Asset Proceeds, the Borrowers shall apply such Asset Proceeds in prepayment of the outstanding Facility as directed by the Borrowers in an amount equal to the lower of:
 
(A)       one hundred percent (100%) of Asset Proceeds, together with any funds available in the Borrower Collateral Accounts; and
 
(B)          such amount (after prepayment but deducting (to the extent included in the calculation of the Asset Coverage Ratio) any Asset Proceeds to the extent those will, following such prepayment, be available for distribution), together with any funds available in the Borrower Collateral Accounts, that results in the Asset Coverage Ratio being increased to the Maintenance Asset Coverage Ratio (or, at the discretion of the Borrower Representative, greater than the Maintenance Asset Coverage Ratio).
 
(ii)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any obligation to apply any Asset Proceeds in prepayment of the Facility in accordance with this Section 2.07(c) shall only apply to the extent that there are Asset Proceeds available to the Borrowers to be so applied taking into account any cash payment of interest made or to be made on the next interest payment date.
 
(iii)          The Borrower Representative shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon any Borrower receiving any Asset Proceeds, to the extent such Asset Proceeds would, if received by such Borrower, be required to be applied (in whole or in part) in prepayment of the Facilities pursuant to paragraph (i) above.
 
(iv)          Any Asset Proceeds not required to be applied in prepayment of the Facility in accordance with this Section 2.07(c) shall be deposited into a Borrower Collateral Account in accordance with Section 5.01 and subject to the terms thereof.
 
(v)          Application of Prepayments. Any Asset Proceeds applied in prepayment of the Facility shall be applied in the following priorities:
 
52

(A)          first, to pay all accrued and outstanding fees and costs, expenses and indemnities of the Collateral Agent;
 
(B)          second, to pay all accrued and outstanding fees and costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent;
 
(C)        third, to pay all accrued and unpaid interest and fees on the Obligations (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any PIK Interest) which interest repayment shall be applied to the Allocated Loan Amount of each Borrower on a pro rata basis in accordance with the outstanding Allocated Loan Amount;
 
(D)          fourth, to pay all unpaid outstanding principal and other amounts of the Obligations (including PIK Interest), which principal repayment shall be applied to the Allocated Loan Amount of each Borrower on a pro rata basis in accordance with the outstanding Allocated Loan Amount; and
 
(E)          fifth, to pay the remainder, if any, to Borrowers, subject to compliance with Sections 7.04 and 7.08.
 
(d)       Review Event.  Following the occurrence of a Review Event, the Borrowers shall promptly negotiate in good faith with the Administrative Agent regarding a resolution to such Review Event and/or the consequences of such Review Event, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (at the instruction of the Required Lenders) shall, if agreed, enter into a written plan (a “Review Event Cure Plan”) outlining such resolution. The Borrowers shall diligently pursue any such Review Event Cure Plan in good faith and shall keep the Administrative Agent informed of the status of any such Required Asset Coverage Plan. In the event that no Review Event Cure Plan shall have been agreed within one-hundred twenty (120) days of occurrence thereof (which date may be extended by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, in their sole discretion) (the “Review Event Period”), the Administrative Agent, if instructed by the Required Lenders, shall notify the Borrowers that all outstanding Obligations shall be repaid no later than (10) Business Days following the date of such notice.
 
(e)          Excess Letters of Credit Outstanding. If, on any day, either (i) the Letter of Credit Liability exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (ii) if any excess amount calculated pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(i) hereof is attributable to undrawn Letters of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall pay such excess amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer in the applicable Currency (unless otherwise agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer in writing), when required pursuant to the terms of Section 2.07(b)(i) hereof for deposit into a segregated interest-bearing cash collateral account, as security for such portion of the Obligations of such Borrower. Unless otherwise required by law, amounts held as such cash collateral shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower in respect of excess calculated pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(i), upon the earlier to occur of: (i) a change in circumstances such that the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations no longer exceeds the Maximum Commitment, the Letter of Credit Liability no longer exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) or (ii) the full and final payment of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been made).
 
Section 2.08.        Termination or Reduction of Commitments.
 
(a)        Mandatory. The aggregate Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero (0) on the expiration of the Availability Period.
 
53

(b)         Voluntary. The Borrowers may terminate the Commitments, or from time to time reduce the Maximum Commitment, by giving prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction three (3) Business Days (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may permit) prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by the Borrowers in such notice): (a)(i) in the case of complete termination of the Commitments, upon prepayment by the applicable Borrowers of all of the outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, all fees and interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 2.05 hereof; or (ii) in the case of a reduction of the Maximum Commitment, upon prepayment of the amount by which the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations exceed the reduced Maximum Commitment resulting from such reduction, including, without limitation, payment of all fees and interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 2.07 hereof, provided that, except in connection with a termination of all of the Commitments, the Maximum Commitment may not be reduced such that, upon such reduction, the Maximum Commitment is less than the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate stated amount of (i) outstanding Letters of Credit plus (ii) the amount indicated in all outstanding Requests for Letter of Credit; and (b) in the case of the complete termination of the Commitments, if any Letter of Credit Liability exists, upon payment to the Administrative Agent for deposit in a segregated interest-bearing cash collateral account, as security for the Letter of Credit Liability, an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Liability then outstanding at the time such notice is given in the applicable Currencies of such outstanding Letters of Credit, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived. Unless otherwise required by law, upon the full and final payment of the Letter of Credit Liability, or upon the termination of all outstanding Letter of Credit Liability due to the expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit prior to draws thereon, the Administrative Agent shall return to the applicable Borrowers any amounts remaining in said cash collateral account; provided that, to the extent individual Letters of Credit expire, the Administrative Agent will return to the applicable Borrower the corresponding amount of the expired Letter of Credit Liability, unless (and only so long as) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or multiples thereof (or such other amount as agreed by the Administrative Agent); and (2) in no event shall a reduction by the Borrowers reduce the Maximum Commitment to less than $25,000,000 (except for a termination of all the Commitments). Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same. Any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders on a pro rata basis, subject to Section 2.02 hereof.
 
(c)       Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Commitments under this Section 2.08. Upon any reduction of the Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the Commitments are reduced. All fees in respect of the Facility accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Facility shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
 
Section 2.09.        Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.
 
(a)         Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes; Change in Law. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), if any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that as a result of any Change in Law, there shall be any increase to the cost to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit hereunder (including the imposition, modification or application of any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in
 
54

Regulation D)) or a reduction in any amount received or receivable by such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (or its applicable lending office) in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.09(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes), then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or in a lump sum or otherwise as such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer under this Section 2.09(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
 
(b)         Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Adjustment. If any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (i) any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or (ii) compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender with any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or any company controlling such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans, such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Letters of Credit or, in each case, participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or such controlling company with regard to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower Representative from such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or such controlling company on an after‑tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer under this Section 2.09(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
 
(c)        Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.09 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
 
(d)        Compensation. Any request for compensation pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09 as a result of a Change in Law shall only be honored to the extent such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer represents that such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer is generally seeking compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities with respect to such Change in Law.
 
55

Section 2.10.        Taxes.
 
(a)          Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any and all payments (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any PIK Interest) by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
 
(b)        Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Each Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
 
(c)         Tax Indemnification. (i) Without duplication or limitation of any amounts payable by the Borrowers under Section 2.10(a) or (b), each Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.10) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(ii)         Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify the Administrative Agent (and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after written demand therefor): (A) against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so); (B) against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register; and (C) against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender 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, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.10(c)(ii).
 
(d)         Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.10, Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
 
56

Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
 
(e)          Status of the Lenders; Tax Documentation.
 
(i)          If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, such Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.10(e)(ii)(A), Section 2.10(e)(ii)(B) and Section 2.10(e)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
 
(ii)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S. Person:
 
(A)          any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; and
 
(B)          any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative (and the Borrower Representative shall deliver to such Borrower) and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
 
(1)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty; and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
 
(2)          executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
 
57

(3)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code; (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 hereto to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to such Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
 
(4)       to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto or Exhibit F-3 hereto, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 hereto on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
 
(C)          any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
 
(D)         if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
 
(iii)        Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.10 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
58

(f)          Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10, it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.10 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such indemnifying party, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid pursuant to this subsection (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (f) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.10(f) shall not be construed to require the Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other person.
 
(g)         Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
 
Section 2.11.     Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), from time to time, Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of:
 
(a)         any payment or prepayment of any Loan on a day other than the Interest Payment Date for such Loan (whether automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or
 
(b)         any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to convert, prepay or borrow any Loan on the date or in the amount as notified by any Borrower;
 
excluding any loss of anticipated profits and loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
 
Section 2.12.       [Reserved].
 
Section 2.13.        Applicable Lending Office.
 
(a)          Each Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to, or for the account of one of its Affiliates; provided that such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any greater amount under Section 2.09 or Section 2.10 as a result of the transfer of any such Loan than such Lender would be entitled to immediately prior thereto unless (a) such transfer occurred at a time when circumstances giving rise to the claim for such greater amount did not exist or (b) such claim would have arisen even if such transfer had not occurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit.
 
59

(b)        If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.10, then, at the request of Borrowers, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the event giving rise to such request or payment, including, in the case of a Lender, designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation, assignment or other action: (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09 or Section 2.10, as the case may be, in the future; and (b) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation, assignment or other action.
 
Section 2.14.        Rates.
 
(a)          Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Applicable Law adopted after the Closing Date or if later, with respect to any Lender, after the date such Lender became a Lender hereunder, has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans or RFR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the applicable Eurocurrency Rate or RFR or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or take deposits of any Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the relevant Currency or to Convert Loans to such applicable RFR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.14(b) hereof that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice: (i) the applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans or RFR Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency to Loans bearing interest at the Cost of Funds Rate or RFR Loans denominated in Dollars of such Lender to Reference Rate Loans (with an interest rate that shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Daily Simple RFR for Dollars component of the Reference Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or RFR Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or RFR Loans; and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the applicable RFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Reference Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Daily Simple RFR for Dollars component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon such applicable RFR. Upon the prepayment of any such Loans, the applicable Borrowers shall also pay interest on the amount so prepaid. Each Lender agrees to designate a different applicable lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
 
(b)          Treatment of Affected Loans.
 
(i)        Subject to Section 2.14(a), in connection with any RFR Loan or any Reference Rate Loan, a Loan Notice therefor, a Conversion thereto or a Rollover thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (x) if Daily Simple RFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees,
 
60

commissions or other amounts, “Daily Simple RFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or (y) if Term RFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, “Term RFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, or (ii) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange markets with respect to an applicable Alternative Currency (including changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers and the Lenders, (A) any obligation of the Lenders to make RFR Loans in each such Currency, and any right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan in each such Currency (if applicable) or Rollover any Loan as an RFR Loan in each such Currency (if applicable), shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected RFR Loans or, in the case of Term RFR Loans, the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice and (B) if such determination affects the calculation of the Reference Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Reference Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Reference Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrowers may revoke any pending Loan Notice of, Conversion Notice to or Rollover Notice of RFR Loans in each such affected Currency (to the extent of the affected RFR Loans or, in the case of Term RFR Loans, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, (I) in the case of any Loan Notice of any affected RFR Loans in Dollars, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a Loan Notice of or Conversion Notice to Reference Rate Loans in the amount specified therein, and (II) in the case of any Loan Notice of any affected RFR Loans in an Alternative Currency, then such request shall be ineffective, and (B)(I) any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in Dollars will be deemed to have been converted into Reference Rate Loans immediately or, in the case of Term RFR Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, and (II) any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, at the Borrowers’ election, shall either (1) be converted into Reference Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or, in the case of Term RFR Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, or (2) be prepaid in full, together with accrued interest thereon, immediately or, in the case of Term RFR Loans, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice or, in the case of Term RFR Loans, the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable RFR Loan, if earlier, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrowers shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11.
 
(ii)         Subject to Section 2.14(a), if, for any reason on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, a Loan Notice therefor, a Conversion thereto or a Rollover thereof or otherwise, (w) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable interbank market for the applicable Currency, amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (x) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to the applicable Alternative Currency (including changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), (y) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Currency and Interest
61

Period, including because any screen rate for the applicable Currency is not available or published on a current basis, or (z) the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Eurocurrency Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers and the Lenders, any obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans in each such Currency, and any right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan in each such Currency (if applicable), or Rollover any Loan as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in each such Currency (in each case, to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods), shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrowers may revoke any pending Loan Notice of, Conversion Notice to or Rollover Notice of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in each such affected Currency (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, in the case of any Loan Notice of any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such Alternative Currency, then such request shall be ineffective and (B) any outstanding affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency, at the Borrowers’ election, shall either (1) be converted into Reference Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (2) be prepaid in full, together with accrued interest thereon, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loan, if earlier, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11.
 
(c)          Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:
 
(i)          Future Benchmark Replacement. If a Benchmark Transition Event occurs with respect to any then-current Benchmark and a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under each other Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders and the Borrowers without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of a then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the applicable Borrower(s) may revoke any Loan Notice for, Conversion to or Rollover of, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or RFR Loan that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the applicable Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark and, failing that, such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such Loan Notice for, Conversion to or Rollover of, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or RFR Loan into (i) in the case of a Loan denominated in Dollars, a Reference Rate Loan or (ii) in the case of a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, a Loan bearing interest at the Cost of Funds Rate.

62

During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of the Reference Rate based upon the applicable then-current Benchmark will not be used in any determination of the Reference Rate. Furthermore, if any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or RFR Loan in such Currency (as applicable) is outstanding on the date of the applicable Borrower’s receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent under this clause (c) with respect to a then-current Benchmark applicable to such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such then-current Benchmark is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.14(c) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by any amendment to implement any necessary Conforming Changes related thereto) (i) if such RFR Loan is denominated in Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Reference Rate Loan denominated in Dollars on such day or (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or RFR Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at such Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by such Borrower on such day or (B) such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or RFR Loan shall be Converted into Loans bearing interest at the Cost of Funds Rate at such time.
 
(ii)         Term RFR Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term RFR Transition Date has occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark consisting of a Daily Simple RFR (including a Daily Simple RFR implemented as a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to clause (c)(i) above for the applicable Currency, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark for the applicable Currency setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement and each other Loan Document; provided that this clause (c)(ii) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrowers a Term RFR Notice with respect to the applicable Term RFR Transition Event. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term RFR Notice after a Term RFR Transition Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion.
 
(iii)     Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than as provided in the definition of Conforming Changes).
 
(iv)         Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or Term RFR Transition Event, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, and (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (c)(v) below. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Borrowers or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.14(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to

63

this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14(c).
 
(v)      Unavailability of Tenor Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if a then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including any Term RFR or Eurocurrency Rate ), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for such Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for such Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.
 
(vi)        Tax Matters. The Administrative Agent and, to the extent the Borrowers shall have any consent or consultation right in respect of the selection of such Benchmark Replacement, each such applicable party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance, including Proposed Treasury Regulation 1.1001-6 and any future guidance, to the effect that a Benchmark Replacement will not result in a deemed exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes of any Loan under this Agreement.
 
Section 2.15.        Ratable Sharing. The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set‑off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or under analogous provisions of any other Debtor Relief Law, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) that is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrowers expressly consent to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, consolidation, set‑off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrowers to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (2) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it.
 
Section 2.16.       Defaulting Lenders.
 
(a)       Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) Such Defaulting Lender’s right

64

to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 10.05 hereof and (ii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.04 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (B) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
 
(b)          Fees. No Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
 
(c)        Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
 
Section 2.17.       Replacement of Lenders.

The assets of the Borrowers are not treated as “plan assets” of any “benefit plan investor” for purposes of Section 3(42) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which would give rise to a “non‑exempt prohibited transaction” under Section 4975(c)(B) of the Code or Section 406(a)(1)(B) of ERISA and would subject Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any tax or penalty under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA.

(b)       The Borrowers may withdraw funds from their Borrower Collateral Accounts (or in the case of a securities account, other assets contained therein) only in compliance with Section 7.08 hereof.

Section 7.06.        [Reserved].
 
Section 7.07.        Dispositions.  No Borrower shall, nor shall it permit any Holding Vehicle (or, in the case of any other holding vehicle through which Borrower holds such Asset that Borrower does not Control, consent to, vote in favor of or otherwise agree to or accept) to transfer an Asset to any person unless such transaction is on fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to such Borrower, Holding Vehicle or such other entity than those terms that might be obtained at the time in a comparable arm’s length transaction (or otherwise in accordance with the PPM and the Constitutional Documents of such Borrower and K-INFRA).

Section 7.10.        Constitutional Document and Valuation Policy Amendments.
 
(a)          No Borrower shall amend or otherwise modify its Constitutional Documents (a “Proposed Borrower Amendment”) in any way that would (i) impair the Lenders’ rights in the Collateral or (ii) reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the rights, powers, remedies and privileges of the Lenders in any material respect (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Material Borrower Amendment”), in each case without the consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).
 
With respect to any Proposed Borrower Amendment, the applicable Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of such proposal.  The Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole reasonable discretion (i.e., the determination of the other Lenders shall not be required) and on its good faith belief, whether such Proposed Borrower Amendment would constitute a Material Borrower Amendment within three (3) Business Days of the date on which it is deemed to have received such notification in accordance with this Section 7.10 and shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower of its determination.  If the Administrative Agent determines that the Proposed Borrower Amendment is not a Material Borrower Amendment, the applicable Borrowers may make such amendment without the consent of the Lenders.  If the Administrative Agent determines that the Proposed Borrower Amendment is a Material Borrower Amendment, the approval of the Required Lenders shall be required and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such request for such approval, distributing, as appropriate, the Proposed Borrower Amendment and any other relevant information provided by the Borrowers; the Lenders shall have seven (7) Business Days from the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent to deliver their approval or denial thereof.

83

or inconsistent with any other provision thereof (the effect of which shall not be material to the Lenders), correct any printing, stenographic or clerical error or effect changes of an administrative or ministerial nature which do not materially increase the authority of a general partner or manager or adversely affect the rights of the Lenders or to fix any other obvious error or any other error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature.
 
(b)          The Borrowers shall not permit K-INFRA to amend or otherwise modify any provision of the Constitutional Documents of K-INFRA, the Valuation Policy or the PPM that results in or would reasonably be expected to result in any of the following (any such modification, a “Material K-INFRA Amendment”) without the consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders):
 
(i)          modify, amend or supplement the Valuation Policy to the extent (after giving effect to such changes in the Valuation Policy) the result would be an increase in the calculation of the K-INFRA Net Asset Value; or
 
(ii)          that would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.01.        Appointment.
 
(a)        Authority of the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Mizuho as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (solely for purposes of this Article 9, where the context so requires, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall collectively be the “Administrative Agent”) of such Lender to act as specified herein and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent,  as the agent for such Lender, to take such action 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 expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or shall otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.  The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and none of the Borrowers or any Affiliate of the foregoing (each, a “Borrower Party”) shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (except for the provisions that explicitly relate to the Borrowers in Section 9.10 hereof).  In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower Party.
 
(b)          [Reserved].
 
(c)          Release of Collateral.  The Finance Parties irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s option and in its sole discretion, to release any security interest in or Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Collateral Agent: (i) upon termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, termination of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit and payment in full of all of the Obligations, including all fees and indemnified costs and expenses that are then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents; (ii) pursuant to any express provision of a Loan Document; and (iii) if approved by the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 10.05.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders shall confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.01(c).
 
Section 9.02.        Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals selected by the Administrative Agent concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible

88

to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, nor shall it be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such persons.
 
Section 9.03.     Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact, shall be liable to any Lender for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except for its or such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for therein, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of a Borrower Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by any Borrower Party in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower Parties.  The Administrative Agent is not a trustee for the Lenders and owes no fiduciary duty to the Lenders hereunder and/or pursuant to the Security Documents, as each is governed by New York law.  Each Lender recognizes and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether the conditions described in Section 3.02(d) or 3.02(e) hereof have been satisfied and, when the Administrative Agent disburses funds to any Borrower, or causes Letters of Credit to be issued, it may rely fully upon statements contained in the relevant requests by any Borrower.
 
Section 9.04.        Reliance on Communications. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, email, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Borrower Parties, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care).  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless an Assignment Agreement shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.06 hereof.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically required, all the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).
 
89

Section 9.05.      Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower Party referring to the Loan Document, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders and as is permitted by the Loan Documents.
 
Section 9.06.   Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
 
Section 9.07.       Indemnification. The Lenders agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be incurred by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.  If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.  The agreements in this Section 9.07 shall survive the payment of the Obligations.
 
90

Section 9.08.       Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity Security Documents. With respect to the Loans made and Letters of Credit issued and all obligations owing to it, the Administrative Agent acting in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.  The Administrative Agent acting in its individual capacity and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not an agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders.
 
Section 9.09.       Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time resign upon twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers, subject to the prior written consent of the Borrowers, in their sole discretion (except upon the declaration that the Obligations are immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default).  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, (subject, except when an Event of Default of the type described in Section 8.01(a), 8.01(g) or 8.01(h) hereof (or any other Event of Default which has continued for a period of thirty (30) days) exists, to the consent of the Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, (subject, except when an Event of Default of the type described in Section 8.01(a), 8.01(g) or 8.01(h) hereof (or any other Event of Default which has continued for a period of thirty (30) days) exists, to the consent of the Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and: (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed); and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a) that has not been cured within sixty (60) days in no event may any Competitor be appointed successor Administrative Agent hereunder.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 10.02 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective related parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
 
Section 9.10.        Reliance by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon, and to act or refrain from acting on the basis of, any notice, statement, certificate, waiver or other document or

91

instrument delivered by the Administrative Agent to such Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent is purporting to act in its respective capacity as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, and such Borrower shall not be responsible or liable to any Lender (or to any participant or Assignee), or as a result of any action or failure to act (including actions or omissions which would otherwise constitute defaults hereunder) which is based upon such reliance upon the Administrative Agent.  Such Borrower shall be entitled to treat the Administrative Agent as the properly authorized Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement until such Borrower shall have received notice of resignation, and such Borrower shall not be obligated to recognize any successor Administrative Agent until such Borrower shall have received written notification satisfactory to it of the appointment of such successor.
 
Section 9.11.    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition examinership, rescue process or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Finance Parties acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
 
(a)          to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Liability and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Finance Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Finance Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Finance Parties hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
 
(b)          to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
 
(c)          and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Finance Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Finance Party, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent hereunder.
 
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Finance Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Finance Party or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Finance Party in any such proceeding.
 
Section 9.12.       Delivery of Notices to the Lenders. Promptly upon receipt of any written notice, report or information from the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent will provide copies of such notice, report or information to the Lenders in a time and manner reasonable under the circumstances.
 
Section 9.13.        Erroneous Payments.
 
(a)          If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Finance Party, or any person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Finance Party (any such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer, Finance Party or other recipient, but in any event excluding any Borrower and their Affiliates, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in

92

its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer, Finance Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), (i) such Erroneous Payment comprised of funds of the Administrative Agent shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent, (ii) such Erroneous Payment comprised of funds of a Borrower shall at all times remain the property of such Borrower and (iii) such Erroneous Payment shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or such Borrower, as applicable, and such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Finance Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
 
(b)      Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
 
(i)         (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
 
(ii)          such Payment Recipient shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.13(b).
 
(c)         Each Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Finance Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Finance Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Finance Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
 
93

(d)         In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the preceding clause (a) from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class of Loans with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment  Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to an approved electronic communication method pursuant to Section 10.01(b) hereof as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Finance Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.
 
(e)         The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from, or held on behalf of, a Borrower for the purpose of prepaying, repaying, discharging or otherwise satisfying any Obligations owed by such Borrower.
 
(f)          To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to  an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
 
94

(g)      Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
 
(h)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, no Borrower nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 9.13 in respect of any Erroneous Payment (other than having consented to any assignment referenced in Section 9.13(d) above).

(iii)       prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a) that has not been cured within sixty (60) days, the Assignee shall not be a Competitor;
 
(iv)        the Assignee shall provide any required documentation under Section 2.10 of this Agreement; and
 
(v)        the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, and the Assignee shall pay to the transferor Lender an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, and the transferor Lender shall deliver payment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent.
 
(d)         Consequences of Assignment.  Upon execution and delivery of such Assignment Agreement and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in

101

such Assignment Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.
 
(e)        Affiliated Lenders.  No assignment shall be made by a Lender to the Borrower or Affiliates of the Borrower, or any investment manager thereof, except that a Lender may make an assignment to an Affiliated Lender, provided that: (A) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Affiliated Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the non‑Affiliated Lenders that have consented to such matter, and (B) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (each, a “Plan of Reorganization”), each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees (x) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (y) if such Affiliated Lender does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (x), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (z) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (y), in each case under this clause (e). Each Affiliated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest and given as security for the performance of the Obligations) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney‑in‑fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this clause (e), including to ensure that any vote of such Affiliated Lender on any Plan of Reorganization is withdrawn or otherwise not counted.
 
(f)        Register of Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its principal offices in New York or at such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to each Lender and the Borrowers, a copy of each Assignment Agreement and Lender Joinder Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the principal amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitments and the Loans, and the name and address of each Lender’s agent for service of process in New York (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person or entity whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by any Borrower or any Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent.  A Lender may change its address and its agent for service of process upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be effective upon actual receipt by the Administrative Agent, which receipt will be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent upon request.  Upon receipt of any Assignment Agreement or Lender Joinder Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment Agreement has been completed, fully-executed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto or if such Lender Joinder Agreement has been completed, fully-executed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto:  (i) accept such an Assignment Agreement or Lender Joinder Agreement; (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the

102

Participant Register (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) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
 
(g)         Disclosure of Information.  Any Lender may furnish any information concerning any Borrower Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 10.24 hereof.
 
Section 10.07.      [Reserved].
 
Section 10.08.    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Loans. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of the Borrowers set forth in Section 2.09, Section 2.10, Section 2.16, Section 10.02, Section 10.03, Section 10.04 and Section 10.21 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Section 2.10 and Section 9.07 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and all other Obligations, and the termination hereof.
 
Section 10.09.     No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right, remedy or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right, remedy or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right, remedy or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, remedy or privilege. The powers, rights, remedies and privileges given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all powers, rights, remedies and privileges existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any power, right, remedy or privilege hereunder shall not impair any such power, right, remedy or privilege or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such power, right, remedy or privilege.
 
Section 10.10.     Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or Guarantor or any other person or against or in payment of Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor is made to any of Administrative Agent or Lenders (or Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders), or Administrative Agent or any Lender enforces any security interests or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment 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 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, 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 10.11.     Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be

103

ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, which shall not affect any other provisions hereof or the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision of any other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
 
Section 10.12.    Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent indebtedness, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
 
Section 10.13.   Headings. Article and Section headings used herein and in the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of or be given any substantive effect under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
Section 10.14.    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER (INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
 
Section 10.15.      CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.
 
(a)         SUBJECT TO CLAUSE (E) OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR, IF THAT COURT DOES NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, IN ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWERS, FOR THEMSELVES AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE (SUBJECT TO CLAUSE (E) BELOW) JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.01; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH BORROWER IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT THE AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST SUCH BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF, AND CONSENTS TO VENUE IN, ANY SUCH COURT.
 
104

(b)         The Borrowers hereby appoint and consent to KKR as its agent upon whom process or demands may be served in any action arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of such process agent or appoint an additional process agent; provided that the Borrowers will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Borrowers in respect of this Agreement may be served. If at any time the Borrowers shall fail to maintain any required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or shall fail to furnish the Agents with the address thereof, notices and demands may be served on a Borrower by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail or by nationally recognized overnight courier, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address specified herein.
 
Section 10.16.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL‑ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH PARTY HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
 
Section 10.17.     Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under Applicable Law shall not exceed the Maximum Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Maximum Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Obligations are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Maximum Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the

105

foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrowers.
 
Section 10.18.     Effectiveness; Counterparts. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of written notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
 
Section 10.19.     PATRIOT Act. Each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
 
Section 10.20.    Electronic Execution. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in any Loan Document or Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.
 
Section 10.21.   No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 10.21, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers, their equityholders and/or their Affiliates. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree, and acknowledges their respective Affiliates’ understandings, 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 the Borrowers, their equityholders or their Affiliates, on the other. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree, and acknowledges their respective equityholders and Affiliates’ understandings, that (a) each of 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 Borrowers, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower, its equityholders 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 Borrower, its equityholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrowers except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (ii) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Borrower, its management, equityholders, creditors or any other person. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that they have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory, tax and other financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate, that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process

106

leading thereto, and is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. The Borrowers agree that they will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to any Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
 
Section 10.22.     Certain ERISA Matters.
 
(a)          Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such person became a Lender party hereto to the date such person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the parties hereto, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
 
(i)          such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the letters of credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,
 
(ii)       the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the letters of credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
 
(iii)        (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the letters of credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the letters of credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the letters of credit, the Commitments and this Agreement.
 
(b)        In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such person became a Lender party hereto to the date such person ceases being a Lender, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, that none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the letters of credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation of exercise or any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
 
107

Section 10.23.      Judgment Currency.
 
(a)        The Borrowers’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars (for purposes herein, the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Finance Party entitled thereto of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to it under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Borrowers in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert an amount due hereunder into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Obligation Currency with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day preceding that on which the final judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).
 
(b)          If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrowers jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, and each jointly and severally indemnifies the Finance Parties for such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency that could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Borrowers and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.
 
(c)          For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 10.23, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.
 
Section 10.24.     Confidentiality.  The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may provide to the Lenders, and that the Administrative Agent and each Lender may provide to any Affiliate of a Lender or Participant or Assignee or proposed Participant or Assignee or any other Person as deemed necessary or appropriate in any Lender’s reasonable judgment, originals or copies of this Agreement, all Loan Documents and all other documents, certificates, opinions, letters of credit, reports, and other material information of every nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender in connection with the Loans, the Letter of Credit Liability, the Commitments or any Borrower or Guarantor; provided that, prior to any such delivery or communication, the Lender, Affiliate of a Lender, Participant, or Assignee, or proposed Participant or Assignee or such other Person, as the case may be, shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of all data and information which constitutes Confidential Information; (b) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (i) acknowledge and agree that information with respect to Assets has been and will be delivered on a confidential basis; (ii) acknowledge and agree that such information is Confidential Information; and (iii) agree that such information shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.24; and (c) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 10.24 shall not preclude or restrict any such party from disclosing any Confidential Information: (i) with the prior written consent of any Borrower; (ii) upon the order of or pursuant to the rules and regulations of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such party; (iii) in connection with any audit by an independent public accountant of such party, provided such auditor thereto agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.24;

108

(iv) to examiners or auditors of any applicable Governmental Authority which examines such party’s books and records while conducting such examination or audit; (v) as otherwise specifically required by law or legal process, including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any enforcement action relating to the Loan Documents; (vi) professional advisers, insurers, insurance brokers and service providers of a Lender who are under a duty of confidentiality to a Lender; (vii) any rating agency or direct or indirect provider of credit protection to a permitted party (or its brokers); or (viii) to the extent such information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.24 or (B) becomes publicly available to the Administrative Agent, the issuing bank or the Lenders on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders (and each of their respective employees, representatives, or other agents) may disclose to taxing authorities, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender agrees to hold Confidential Information in accordance with its internal document retention policies and procedures for two (2) years following the termination of this Agreement, which policies and procedures, as of the Closing Date, provide that information considered confidential shall be held on a confidential basis.
 
Section 10.25.      Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected 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 Affected 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 the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
 
(a)       the application of any Write-down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
 
(b)          the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
 
(i)          a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
 
(ii)        a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
 
(iii)       the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
