Notwithstanding our right to syndicate the Senior Credit Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto, (i) no Initial Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date (as defined below)) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Senior Credit Facilities, including its commitments in respect thereof, until after the initial funding under the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date has occurred, (ii) no assignment or novation shall become effective (as between you and the Initial Lenders) with respect to all or any portion of any Initial Lender’s commitments in respect of the Senior Credit Facilities until the initial funding of the Senior Credit Facilities by such Initial Lender and (iii) unless you otherwise agree in writing, each Initial Lender shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect

2




of the Senior Credit Facilities, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the initial funding under the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Arrangers agree not to syndicate any of the Senior Credit Facilities to those persons that are (i) competitors of you and the Target identified by you to us in writing from time to time, (ii) those banks, financial institutions and other persons that are identified by you to us in writing on or prior to the date hereof and (iii) affiliates of the entities in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such affiliates are either (x) clearly identifiable as such on the basis of such affiliates’ name or (y) have been identified as such by you to us in writing (the entities in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, the “Disqualified Institutions”); provided, further, that in no event shall any supplement to the list of Disqualified Institutions apply retroactively to disqualify any parties that have previously acquired an assignment or participation interest hereunder or under the Senior Credit Facilities prior to the receipt of such supplement.
Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein during the Syndication Period (as defined below), it is understood that the Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Senior Credit Facilities or your obligations with respect thereto and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities constitute a condition to the availability or the funding of the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date. You understand that each of the Senior Credit Facilities will be separately syndicated, and until the earlier to occur of (A) a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and (B) the date that is 60 days following the Closing Date (as defined below) (such period, the “Syndication Period”) you agree to actively assist, and prior to the Closing Date use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause, and on and after the Closing Date, to cause the Target to actively assist, us in completing syndications that are reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers. Such assistance shall include (1) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit from your existing banking relationships and to the extent practical, appropriate and not in contravention of the Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, the existing banking relationships of the Target, (2) direct contact between your senior management and advisors, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand (and your using commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to ensure such contact between the senior management of the Target, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand), (3) your assistance (and your using commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to cause the Target to assist) in the prompt preparation of customary confidential information memoranda and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndications (such marketing materials and confidential information memoranda, collectively, with the Term Sheets and the information and the Projections referred to below, the “Information Materials”), (4) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of one or more meetings of and conference calls with prospective Lenders at times and locations mutually agreed upon (and your using commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to cause the senior management of the Target to be available for such meetings and/or conference calls), (5) your using your commercially reasonable efforts to procure, prior to the commencement of the launch of general syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities and the commencement of the Minimum Notes Marketing Period (as defined in Exhibit D), a public corporate credit rating and a public corporate family rating, as the case may be, for the Company and public ratings for each of the Senior Credit Facilities (other than the Revolving Facility (as defined in Exhibit B)) and the Senior Notes (as defined in Exhibit A) from each of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., in each case, giving effect to the Transactions and (6) your ensuring (and with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries, your using commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to ensure) that there are not any competing issues of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities of you, the Company,

3




the Target or your or its subsidiaries, offered, placed, announced or arranged (excluding the Senior Credit Facilities, the Senior Notes (as defined below), ordinary course capital leases, purchase money indebtedness and equipment financings or any indebtedness of the Target and its subsidiaries permitted to be incurred or outstanding pursuant to the Merger Agreement) if such debt securities or credit facilities would, in the reasonable judgment of the Lead Arrangers, materially impair the primary syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would waive or impair attorney-client privilege, or violate any law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality binding on you, the Target or your respective affiliates (provided that in the event you do not provide information in reliance on the foregoing, you shall provide notice to the Lead Arrangers that such information is being withheld and, upon request of the Lead Arrangers, you shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) to the extent such waiver or consent would not result in a loss of privilege or violate any law, rule or regulation, receive a waiver or consent with respect to such information and (y) if such waiver or consent cannot be obtained, to the extent practicable, communicate the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable obligation or risk waiver of such privilege).
The Lead Arrangers will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of the syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities, including, without limitation, selection of Lenders (with your consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), determination of when the Lead Arrangers will approach potential Lenders and the time of acceptance of the Lenders’ commitments, any naming rights, the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders (which are likely not to be pro rata across the Senior Credit Facilities among Lenders) and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. To assist the Lead Arrangers in their respective syndication efforts, you agree (subject to the penultimate sentence of the preceding paragraph) promptly to prepare and provide to the Lead Arrangers (and to use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to cause the Target to provide to the Lead Arrangers) all customary information with respect to you, the Target and your and its subsidiaries and the Transactions, including, without limitation, all financial information and the projections of and other forward-looking information with respect to you and the Target (the “Projections”), that the Lead Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities.
You acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arrangers will make available on a confidential basis an information package and presentation to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the information package and presentation on DebtDomain, SyndTrak, IntraLinks or another similar electronic system and (b) certain prospective Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that have personnel that do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of the United States federal and state securities laws) with respect to you, the Target, your or its subsidiaries, the respective securities of any of the foregoing or the Transactions and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such entities’ securities). You agree, at the request of the Lead Arrangers, to assist in the preparation of a version of the confidential information memoranda (and related marketing materials) and presentations to be used in connection with the syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities, consisting exclusively of information and documentation that is (i) publicly available, (ii) not material with respect to the Company, Merger Sub, the Target or your or the Target’s respective subsidiaries, the Transactions or any securities of the Company, Merger Sub, the Target or your or the Target’s respective subsidiaries for purposes of foreign, United States federal and state securities laws or (iii) of a type that would be publicly disclosed in connection with any issuance by the Company, you, the Target or your or their respective subsidiaries of any debt or equity securities issued pursuant to a public offering, Rule 144A offering or other private placement where assisted by a placement agent (all such information and documentation being “Public Lender Information”). Any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as “Private Lender Information”. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described

4




above, you shall provide (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to cause the Target to provide) us with customary authorization letters for inclusion in any information package and presentation that authorize the distribution of such information to prospective Lenders, contain a representation by you (which representation shall be to the best of your knowledge with respect to information provided by the Target) to the Lead Arrangers that the Public Lender Information does not include information about the Company, the Target, their respective subsidiaries or their respective securities other than as described in clauses (i) through (iii) above and exculpating (A) the Commitment Parties and their respective affiliates with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of the contents of such confidential information memoranda or any related marketing material by the recipients thereof and (B) you, the Target and your and its affiliates with respect to any liability related to the misuse of such confidential information memoranda or any related marketing material by the recipients thereof. You agree to identify that portion of the Information (as defined below) that may be distributed to the Public Lenders as “PUBLIC”. By marking any Information “PUBLIC”, you shall be deemed to have authorized the Lead Arrangers and the proposed Lenders to treat such information as not containing any information about the Company, the Target, their respective subsidiaries or their respective securities other than as described in clauses (i) through (iii) above. You acknowledge that the following documents contain solely Public Lender Information (unless you notify us promptly that any such document contains Private Lender Information): (1) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities; (2) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda); and (3) notification of changes in the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities. You will be solely responsible for the contents of the Information Materials and the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to use and rely upon the information contained therein without responsibility for independent verification thereof.
4.    Fees. As consideration for our commitments hereunder and our undertakings to arrange, manage, structure and syndicate the Senior Credit Facilities, you agree to pay to us the fees and fulfill the other obligations set forth in the Term Sheets and in the Fee Letter. The terms of the Fee Letter are an integral part of the Initial Lenders’ respective commitments hereunder and constitute a part of this Commitment Letter for all purposes hereof.
5.    Conditions. Our commitments and undertakings hereunder are subject solely to (a)  since the date of the Merger Agreement, no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have occurred and (b) satisfaction of the conditions set forth, solely in the case of the Bank Facilities, under the heading “Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto, solely in the case of the Bridge Facility, under the heading “Conditions Precedent to Borrowing” in Exhibit C hereto and, in each case, the conditions set forth in Exhibit D hereto; provided that there will be no conditions (implied or otherwise) under the definitive documentation for the Senior Credit Facilities to the funding of the Senior Credit Facilities on the Closing Date, including, without limitation, compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the definitive documentation for the Senior Credit Facilities, other than those that are expressly stated under the heading “Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto, under the heading “Conditions Precedent to Borrowing” in Exhibit C hereto and those conditions set forth in Exhibit D hereto, respectively.

For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the Guarantors to be set forth in the definitive documentation for the Senior Credit Facilities relating to corporate existence and good standing, absence of conflicts with organizational documents (in each case, as they relate to the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents), organizational power and authority, due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of the Loan Documents (in each case, as they relate to the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by the Loan Parties), solvency of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis after giving effect to the Transactions (to be determined in a manner consistent with the solvency certificate to be delivered in the form set forth in Annex I attached to Exhibit C), Federal Reserve margin regulations, Investment Company Act, PATRIOT Act (as defined below); use of proceeds not violating the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) regulations and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”); and the creation, validity and perfection of security interests in the Collateral (subject to the parenthetical in clause (ii) above).

You agree to supplement the Information and the Projections from time to time until the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the completion of the Syndication Period, so that the representation and warranties in the preceding sentence each remains correct; provided that any such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representations.

7




such Indemnified Persons under this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or (ii) any Proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of you or the Target or any of your or its affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against another Indemnified Person (other than any claim, litigation, arbitration, investigation or other proceeding brought by or against any Indemnified Person in its role as an agent or an arranger in respect of any Senior Credit Facility); provided, further, that such Indemnified Person shall promptly repay you all expense reimbursements previously made pursuant to this paragraph to the extent that such Indemnified Person is finally determined not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder as contemplated by the preceding proviso of this paragraph.

You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without your consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such Proceedings, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the preceding paragraph. You shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), effect any settlement or consent to the entry of any judgment of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (1) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings, (2) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person and (3) contains customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions.

CONFIDENTIAL         EXHIBIT A
Project Gotham
Transaction Description
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings set forth in the Commitment Letter to which this Exhibit A is attached or the other Exhibits to the Commitment Letter.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company intends to acquire all of the equity interests of the Target. In connection with the foregoing, it is intended that:
(a)    The Company and Merger Sub will enter into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof, with the Target (together with the exhibits and disclosure schedules thereto, the “Merger Agreement”), whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into the Target, with the separate existence of Merger Sub ceasing and the Target continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock of the Target will be converted into the right to receive cash.
(b)    Certain investors reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers (it being understood that Koch Equity Development LLC (“Koch”) is an acceptable investor) (collectively, the “Investors”) will directly or indirectly make cash equity contributions to the Company, the gross proceeds of which will be further contributed, directly or indirectly to Merger Sub (such contributions to be a newly issued series of preferred stock in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers, it being understood that the terms set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, between Koch and the Company, dated as of the date hereof are reasonably satisfactory) in an aggregate amount of $650 million (the foregoing cash equity contributions in Holdings and Merger Sub, the “Equity Contribution”).
(c)    The Company will obtain senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $2,150 million (as such aggregate principal amount may be reduced, if applicable, only as expressly set forth in paragraph 2 of Exhibit D) comprising (i) a senior secured first lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million (the “Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured first lien term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,800 million (the “Term Loan B Facility”; the Term Loan B Facility, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Bank Facilities”).
(d)    In addition to the Equity Contribution described in clause (b) above and the Bank Facilities described in clause (c) above, the Borrower will either (i) issue and sell senior unsecured notes providing for gross proceeds of up to $1,400 million (the “Senior Notes”) pursuant to a registered public offering or Rule-144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act (as defined in Exhibit C) or other private placement or (ii) if and to the extent that all or any portion of such Senior Notes providing such amount of gross proceeds have not been issued and sold on or prior to the Closing Date, obtain up to $1,400 million (less the amount of gross proceeds from any Senior Notes issued on or prior to the Closing Date) under a senior unsecured bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility” and, together with the Bank Facilities, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).
(e)    All the existing indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and the Target (excluding certain limited indebtedness that the Lead Arrangers reasonably agree may remain outstanding after the Closing Date, including without limitation existing capital leases and letters

A-1




of credit) will be refinanced or repaid in full (or substantially simultaneously with the initial borrowing under the Senior Credit Facilities shall be refinanced or repaid in full), all commitments in respect thereof terminated, and all security and guaranties in respect thereof discharged and released (the “Refinancing”).
(f)    The proceeds of the Senior Credit Facilities, the Equity Contribution and, if applicable, the proceeds of any Senior Notes (or other securities issued in lieu thereof) on the Closing Date will be applied (i) to pay the consideration in connection with the Acquisition, (ii) to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions (such fees and expenses, the “Transaction Costs”) and (iii) to pay for the Refinancing.
The transactions described above (including the payment of Transaction Costs) are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions”; the date of initial funding under the Senior Credit Facilities and the consummation of the other Transactions is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

B-1




Swingline Facility:
The Bank Facilities Administrative Agent or another Revolving Lender approved by the Bank Facilities Administrative Agent and the Borrower (in such capacity, the “Swingline Lender”) will make available to the Borrower a swingline facility under which the Borrower may make short-term borrowings (such borrowings, “Swingline Loans”) in U.S. dollars (in minimum amounts to be agreed upon and integral multiples to be agreed upon) in an aggregate principal amount of up to an amount to be agreed. Except for purposes of calculating the commitment fee described below, any such borrowing of Swingline Loans will reduce availability under the Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The Revolving Lenders will be unconditionally obligated to purchase participations in any Swingline Loans pro rata based upon their commitments under the Revolving Facility. To the extent that any Revolving Lender is in default of its obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility and such Lender’s swingline exposure is not reallocated to the applicable non-defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with customary reallocation provisions, the Swingline Lender may require the Borrower to prepay Loans in such amount that eliminates such exposure and will have no obligation to make new Swingline Loans to the extent such Swingline Loans would exceed the unused commitments of non-defaulting Revolving Lenders.
Letters of Credit:
Up to an aggregate principal amount to be agreed of the Revolving Facility will be available to the Borrower in the form of letters of credit. Letters of credit will be issued by the Bank Facilities Administrative Agent and each other Lead Arranger (or their respective affiliates) (and other Revolving Lenders approved by the Bank Facilities Administrative Agent and the Borrower that consent to be an issuer of letters of credit) (in such capacity, the “Issuing Bank”) on a pro rata basis; provided that, (i) in no event shall Royal Bank, Credit Suisse or Barclays (or any of their respective affiliates) be required to issue trade or commercial letters of credit and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue any letters of credit in an aggregate amount exceeding such Issuing Bank’s unused commitments under the Revolving Facility. Each letter of credit will be denominated in U.S. dollars and will expire not later than the earlier of (a) twelve months after its date of issuance and (b) the fifth business day prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility; provided, however, that any letter of credit may provide for renewal thereof for additional periods of up to twelve months on customary terms (which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above). Drawings under any letter of credit shall be reimbursed (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of Revolving Loans, if otherwise available) by the Borrower within one business day. The Revolving Lenders will be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to acquire participations in each letter of credit, pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the Revolving Facility, and to fund such participations in the event the Borrower does not reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings within one business day. To the extent that any Revolving Lender is in default of its obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility and such Revolving Lender’s letter of credit exposure is not reallocated to the applicable non-defaulting Lenders in accordance with customary reallocation provisions, the Issuing Bank may require the Borrower to cash collateralize the pro rata participation of such Revolving Lender in respect of each applicable outstanding letter of credit.

B-2




Incremental Facilities:

The definitive credit documentation in respect of the Bank Facilities shall provide for one or more incremental first lien revolving facilities (the “Incremental Revolving Facilities”) and/or incremental first lien term loan B facilities (the “Incremental Term B Facilities”; together with the Incremental Revolving Facilities, collectively, the “Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the greater of (a) $700 million (this clause (a), the “Fixed-Dollar Incremental Prong”) and (b) and amount such that, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Facility pursuant to this clause (b) (and after giving effect to any acquisition consummated concurrently therewith and any other acquisition, disposition, debt incurrence, debt retirement and other appropriate pro forma adjustment events, including any debt incurrence or retirement subsequent to the end of the applicable test period and on or prior to the date of such incurrence, all to be further defined in the Bank Facilities Documents (as defined below)), the Company would be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with a Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles, but in any event to include a cap on the amount of unrestricted cash that may be netted in any computation thereof of $250.0 million, and in any event without netting the proceeds of the relevant Incremental Facility, and in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, assuming a full draw of such Incremental Revolving Facility and excluding amounts posted as security under that certain deed of guarantee, dated as of October 19, 2015, among Time Inc., Time Inc. (UK) Ltd. and IPC Media Pension Trustee Limited, or any successor or replacement agreement or amendment thereto, and any letters of credit issued or acquired in connection therewith (collectively, the “UK Pension Security Obligations”)) (recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company for which financial statements have been delivered) equal to or less than 2.00:1.00.


B-3




 
The Incremental Facilities shall not initially be effective but may be activated at any time and from time to time during the life of the applicable Bank Facility at the request of the Borrower with consent required only from those Lenders (including new lenders that are reasonably acceptable to the Bank Facilities Administrative Agent and the Borrower) that agree, in their sole discretion, to participate in such Incremental Facility, and the following shall be conditions to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility: (i) subject to customary “SunGard” or “funds certain” conditions in the case of any Incremental Facility the proceeds of which will be used to fund an acquisition or other similar investment permitted under the Bank Facilities Documents (as defined below), no payment or bankruptcy default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, (ii) subject to customary “SunGard” or “funds certain” conditions in the case of any Incremental Facility the proceeds of which will be used to fund an acquisition or other similar investment permitted under the Bank Facilities Documents, all representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Facility (provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “material adverse effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects (after giving effect to any such qualification therein)), (iii) the maturity date of any such Incremental Term B Facility shall be no earlier than the maturity date for the Term Loan B Facility, (iv) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term B Facility shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loan B Facility, (v) the interest margins for any Incremental Term B Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such Incremental Facility; provided that in the event that the all-in-yield for any Incremental Term B Facility incurred prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “MFN Sunset”) is greater than the all-in-yield for the Term Loan B Facility by more than 50 basis points (the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin (as defined below) for the Term Loan B Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the all-in-yield for such Incremental Facility is not more than 50 basis points higher than the all-in-yield for the Term Loan B Facility and (vi) any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the Incremental Revolving Facility and any Incremental Term Loan B Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined; provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation relating to any Incremental Term B Facility are not consistent with the Term Loan B Facility (except to the extent permitted by clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Bank Facilities Administrative Agent.


B-4




 
For purposes of determining the interest margins applicable to the Incremental Term B Facilities and the Yield Differential for the Incremental Term B Facilities, (A) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower for the account of the Lenders with respect to the Term Loan B Facility or such Incremental Term B Facility in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (B) customary arrangement or similar fees payable to the Lead Arrangers (or their respective affiliates) in connection with the Term Loan B Facility or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of such Incremental Term B Facility shall be excluded and (C) if the Adjusted LIBOR or ABR floor for such Incremental Term B Facility is greater than the Adjusted LIBOR or ABR floor, respectively, for the Term Loan B Facility, the difference between such floor for such Incremental Term B Facility and the Term Loan B Facility shall be equated to an increase in the Applicable Margin to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the Term Loan B Facility would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the Term Loan B Facility shall be increased by such increased amount.

 
An amount not to exceed the then available capacity with respect to the incurrence of Incremental Facilities may, subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of the Incremental Facilities provision above (except that (A) customary bridge facilities shall be permitted notwithstanding clauses (iii) and (iv) and (B) any such indebtedness in the form of term loans that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Bank Facilities shall be subject to the requirements of clause (v) of the Incremental Facilities provision above), be used by the Borrower for the incurrence of “incremental equivalent” indebtedness consisting of the issuance of senior secured (on a pari passu basis with the Bank Facilities), junior lien, unsecured or subordinated notes or junior lien, unsecured or subordinated loans (including, in each case, “mezzanine” debt and bridge loans), in each case to be subject to intercreditor arrangements evidenced by a customary intercreditor agreement to be agreed, a form of which will be attached to the Bank Facilities Documents as an exhibit (an “Agreed Intercreditor”); provided that the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenant after giving effect to the incurrence thereof; provided, further, that any such incremental equivalent indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured on a first lien basis, whether or not so secured.

The Bank Facilities Documents will permit the Borrower to refinance the Term Loan B Facilities or commitments under the Revolving Facility from time to time, in whole or part, with one or more new term loan facilities (each, a “Refinancing Term Facility”) or new revolving credit facilities (each, a “Refinancing Revolving Facility”; the Refinancing Term Facilities and the Refinancing Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to as “Refinancing Facilities”), respectively, under the Bank Facilities Documents with the consent of the Borrower, the Bank Facilities Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and the institutions providing such Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility or with one or more additional series of senior unsecured notes or loans or senior secured notes that will be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Bank Facilities or junior lien secured notes or loans, which will be subject to an Agreed Intercreditor (any such notes or loans, “Refinancing Notes”); provided that (a) any Refinancing Term Facility does not mature prior to the maturity date of, or have a weighted average life to maturity, earlier than the final maturity, or the weighted average life, of the Term B Loans being refinanced and any Refinancing Notes mature no earlier than the final maturity of the class of loans being refinanced, (b) any Refinancing Notes are not subject to any amortization prior to final maturity and are not subject to mandatory redemption or prepayment (except customary asset sale and change of control provisions), (c) any Refinancing Revolving Facility does not mature prior to the maturity date of the revolving commitments being refinanced, (d) the other terms and conditions of any Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility (excluding pricing and optional prepayment terms) are substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) less favorable to the investors providing such Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility, as applicable, than, those applicable to the Term B Loans or revolving commitments being refinanced (each as determined by the Borrower in good faith) (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the Term Loan B Facility and Revolving Facility) and (e) the proceeds of such Refinancing Facilities shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata prepayment of outstanding loans (and, in the case of the Revolving Facility, pro rata commitment reductions) under the applicable class of loans being so refinanced.
Purpose:
The proceeds of loans under the Term Loan B Facility, together with the Equity Contribution and the proceeds of borrowings under the Revolving Facility on the Closing Date, will be used, in part, to finance the Acquisition and the Refinancing and to pay the Transaction Costs.
 
The proceeds of loans under the Revolving Facility will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including financing of permitted acquisitions.
 
Letters of credit will be used by the Borrower for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries.
Availability:
The full amount of the Term Loan B Facility must be drawn in a single drawing concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition and the Refinancing. Amounts repaid or prepaid under the Term Loan B Facility may not be reborrowed.

B-6




 
Loans under the Revolving Facility will be available (i) on the Closing Date in an amount up to $75 million plus such additional amounts required to fund any additional upfront fees or OID payable due to any imposition of the “Bank Facilities Market Flex” provisions under the Fee Letter and (ii) after the Closing Date and at any time prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility, in each case, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed upon. Amounts prepaid under the Revolving Facility may be reborrowed. Letters of credit may be issued at any time on and after the Closing Date and at any time prior to the date set forth in clause (b) of the first paragraph of the section of this Exhibit B entitled “Letters of Credit”.

The Revolving Facility will mature, and all Revolving Commitments will terminate, on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.
 
The Bank Facilities Documents shall provide the right for individual Lenders under each class of Bank Facility to agree to extend the maturity date of all or a portion of the loans and/or commitments of such class (which may include, among other things, an increase in the interest rate payable with respect thereto, with such extension not subject to any financial test or “most favored nation” pricing provision) upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent of any other Lender; it being understood that each Lender under the applicable class or classes that are being extended shall have the opportunity to participate in such extension on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender in such class or classes; provided, that it is understood that no existing Lender will have any obligation to commit to any such extension.

The foregoing guarantees are referred to herein as the “Bank Guarantees”). The Borrower and the Guarantors are herein referred to as the “Loan Parties” and, individually, as a “Loan Party”.
Security:
Subject to the limitations in, and in any event on terms and conditions consistent with, the Documentation Principles, obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of the Bank Facilities, the Bank Guarantees, the Secured Agreements will be secured by the following property of the Loan Parties, wherever located, now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”):

Bank Facilities Documents:
The definitive documentation for the Bank Facilities, including all the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages (collectively, the “Bank Facilities Documents”), shall be negotiated in good faith as promptly as reasonably practicable and shall be consistent with and substantially similar to the precedent documentation identified in the Fee Letter, giving effect to the Certain Funds Provision and shall contain the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter and Bank Facilities Term Sheet and shall contain only those payments, conditions to borrowing, mandatory prepayments, representations, warranties, covenants and events of default expressly set forth in this Bank Facilities Term Sheet applicable to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries and reflect the operational and strategic requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries in light of their size, geographic locations, industry, business, business practices, operations, financial accounting, disclosures set forth in the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Documentation Principles”). Standards, qualifications, thresholds, exceptions, “baskets” and grace and cure periods shall be consistent with the foregoing principles. The Bank Facilities Documents will include customary European Union “bail-in” provisions.
Mandatory Prepayments:
Loans under the Term Loan B Facility and any Incremental Term B Facility shall be ratably prepaid with:
 
(a) 50% (with step-downs to 25% and 0% based on a Total Net Leverage Ratio of 2.50:1.00 and 2.00:1.00 (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles, but in any event to include a cap on the amount of unrestricted cash that may be netted in any computation thereof of $250 million, and excluding any UK Pension Security Obligations)) of the Borrower’s annual excess cash flow (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles) commencing with the first full fiscal year of the Borrower ending after the Closing Date; provided that voluntary prepayments of Term B Loans and Revolving Loans (in the case of Revolving Loans, solely to the extent accompanied by corresponding permanent reduction in Revolving Commitments) shall, in each case, reduce excess cash flow payments on a dollar-for-dollar basis (except to the extent made with the proceeds of long-term indebtedness and limited, in the case of any buyback of such loans or commitments below the par value thereof, to the amount of each actually paid by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of such repurchase);

B-10




 
(b) 100% of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (including, without limitation, insurance and condemnation proceeds), subject to exceptions to be agreed upon (it being understood that such exceptions shall include the dispositions listed on Section 6.2 of the Company Disclosure Letter (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the “Merger Agreement Dispositions”) that may occur after the Closing Date) and customary reinvestment rights if reinvested within twelve months of such sale or disposition (or committed to be reinvested within such twelve month period and reinvested within six months thereafter); provided that the net cash proceeds from the sale, disposition, transfer or separation of property or assets representing a percentage of the Borrower’s consolidated EBITDA in excess of an amount to be agreed in the aggregate, whether in a single transaction or multiple transactions, will be subject to mandatory prepayment without reinvestment rights; and
 
(c) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of debt obligations of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries after the Closing Date (other than permitted debt (other than Refinancing Debt in respect of the Bank Facilities)).
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries determine in good faith that it would result in material adverse tax consequences, if all or a portion of the funds required to make a mandatory prepayment from asset sales or excess cash flow involving a foreign subsidiary or assets located outside of the United States were up-streamed or transferred from such foreign subsidiary as a distribution or dividend (a “Restricted Amount”), the amount the Borrower will be required to mandatorily prepay shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount until such time as the Borrower determines that the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries may upstream or transfer such Restricted Amount without incurring such material adverse tax consequences; provided that the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Restricted Amount to be up-streamed or transferred without incurring such material tax liability within one year of the applicable prepayment event. Prepayment from non-U.S. subsidiaries’ excess cash flow or from proceeds of their asset sales will not be required to the extent such prepayments (including the repatriation of cash in connection therewith) would be restricted by applicable law, rule or regulation or contractual obligation.

 
Mandatory prepayments shall be applied ratably among the Term Loan B Facility and any Incremental Term B Facility to remaining amortizing repayments as directed by the Borrower (or in the absence of direction from the Borrower, in the direct order of maturity); provided that certain mandatory prepayments may be declined by the Lenders and to the extent so declined, may be retained by the Borrower.

 
The Borrower shall be required to repay outstanding Revolving Loans and cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit at any time, to the extent that the outstanding credit extensions under the Revolving Facility exceed the principal amount of the Revolving Commitments.

B-11




Voluntary Prepayments/Reductions in Commitments:
Subject to the “Soft-Call Premium” provision below in the case of the Term Loan B Facility only, voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the Term Loan B Facility and voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments will be permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed upon, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders’ redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of Adjusted LIBOR loans other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.
 
All voluntary prepayments under the Term Loan B Facility shall be applied (a) amongst classes of loans as directed by the Borrower and (b) to the remaining amortization payments thereunder as directed by the Borrower.
Soft-Call Premium:
If, prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, (a) there shall occur any amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of the definitive documentation for the initial Term Loan B Facility the primary purpose of which is to reduce the all-in yield then in effect for the loans thereunder, (b) all or any portion of the initial Term Loan B Facility is voluntarily prepaid or mandatorily prepaid with the net cash proceeds of secured term loans in a transaction the primary purpose of which is to lower the all-in yield below the all-in yield in effect for the loans so prepaid, or (c) a Lender must assign its loans under the initial Term Loan B Facility as a result of its failure to consent to an amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of the initial Term Loan B Facility the primary purpose of which is to reduce the all-in yield then in effect for the loans under the initial Term Loan B Facility (any of clause (a), (b) or (c), a “Repricing Transaction”), then in each case the aggregate principal amount so subject to such Repricing Transaction (other than any Repricing Transaction made in connection with a change of control) will be subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium.

Conditions Precedent to Each Subsequent Borrowing:
The making of each extension of credit under the Bank Facilities after the Closing Date shall be conditioned upon (a) the accuracy of representations and warranties in all material respects (provided that the materiality qualification in this clause (a) shall not apply to the extent such representations and warranties are already qualified by materiality), (b) the absence of defaults and events of default at the time of, and after giving effect to the making of such extension of credit and the use of proceeds thereof and (c) the delivery of a customary borrowing notice, subject, in the case of clauses (a) and (b) to customary “SunGard” or “funds certain” limitations in the case of any Incremental Facility incurred for the purpose of funding an acquisition or other similar investment permitted by the terms of the Bank Facilities Documents.

Unrestricted Subsidiaries:
The Bank Facilities Documents will contain provisions pursuant to which, subject to no continuing default or event of default and pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenant (whether or not then required to be tested) and limitations on loans, advances and other investments in, unrestricted subsidiaries, the Borrower will be permitted to designate any existing or subsequently acquired or organized subsidiary as an “unrestricted subsidiary” and subsequently re-designate any such unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary; provided that any subsidiary that constitutes a restricted subsidiary with respect to the Bridge Facility shall also be a restricted subsidiary with respect to the Bank Facilities.
Unrestricted subsidiaries will not be subject to the representation and warranties, affirmative or negative covenant or event of default provisions of the Bank Facilities Documents, and the results of operations and indebtedness of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of determining compliance with any financial tests contained in the Bank Facilities Documents. The designation of any restricted subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary shall constitute an investment therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value thereof. The designation of any unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any indebtedness or liens of such subsidiary existing at such time and an investment in such subsidiary.
Financial Covenants:
With respect to the Term Loan B Facility: None.
 
With respect to the Revolving Facility: Limited to a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (the “Financial Covenant”) of 4.25:1.00.

B-14




 
The Financial Covenant shall be tested only in the event that on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower (with measurement to commence, if applicable, as of the last day of the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date), the aggregate amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and letters of credit (other than letters of credit that have been cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped) exceeds 30% of the revolving commitments.
 
For purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant, a cash equity contribution (which shall be common equity or otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to the Bank Facilities Administrative Agent) in the Borrower after the end of the relevant fiscal quarter and on or prior to the day that is ten business days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for such a fiscal quarter will, at the request of the Borrower, be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA solely for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant for the applicable fiscal quarter and applicable subsequent periods that include such fiscal quarter (any such equity contribution so included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (a) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be a period of two fiscal quarters in which no Specified Equity Contribution is made and only five Specified Equity Contributions may be made during the term of the Bank Facilities, (b) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall not exceed the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with such Financial Covenant, (c) all Specified Equity Contributions will be disregarded for all purposes other than determining compliance with the Financial Covenant, including, without limitation for purposes of determining any financial ratio based conditions, pricing or availability of any baskets with respect to the covenants contained in the Bank Facilities Documents and (d) there shall be no pro forma or other reduction in indebtedness (via cash netting or otherwise) with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution for determining compliance with the Financial Covenant for any four quarter period that includes the fiscal quarter in which such Specified Equity Contribution is made. For the avoidance of doubt, during any period between non‑compliance with the Financial Covenant and the receipt by the Borrower of the necessary Specified Equity Contribution, the Borrower shall not be permitted to borrow Revolving Loans or request the issuance, extension or amendment of any letter of credit.


B-15

Events of Default:
Consistent with the Documentation Principles, to be applicable to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries, and limited to the following: nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after a three business day grace period; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of negative covenants or the Financial Covenants; violation of other covenants (subject, in customary cases, to grace periods of 30 days); cross-default and cross-acceleration to other material debt; bankruptcy and insolvency events of the Borrower and any restricted subsidiary (subject to customary grace periods for involuntary actions); certain ERISA and other pension events (subject to customary grace periods); material unsatisfied judgments (subject to customary grace periods); actual or asserted invalidity of any material Bank Guarantee, material security interest or any intercreditor or subordination arrangement; and change of control (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles but, in any event limited to the beneficial ownership of a third party person or group in excess of 35% of outstanding voting power and changes of control under material indebtedness, including the Senior Notes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach of the Financial Covenant will not constitute an event of default for purposes of the Term Loan B Facility, and the Lenders in respect of the Term Loan B Facility will not be permitted to exercise any remedies with respect to an uncured breach of the Financial Covenant, until the date (if any) on which the commitments in respect of the Revolving Facility have been terminated and the outstanding loans thereunder have been accelerated.

B-16




Voting:
Amendments and waivers of the Bank Facilities Documents will require the approval of Lenders (the “Required Lenders”) holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of loans and commitments under the Bank Facilities, except that: (a) the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby shall be required with respect to (i) increases in or extensions of commitments of such Lender, (ii) reductions of principal, interest (other than default interest), premiums or fees, (iii) reductions in the amount of or extensions of scheduled amortization or final maturity and (iv) modifications of the pro rata sharing and pro rata repayment provisions; (b) the consent of 100% of the Lenders will be required with respect to (i) modifications to any of the voting percentages applicable thereto and (ii) releases of liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the value of the Bank Guarantees; and (c) the consent of the Bank Facilities Administrative Agent and the applicable Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank will be required to amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights and duties of the Bank Facilities Administrative Agent and such Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

Project Gotham
Senior Credit Facilities
Form of Solvency Certificate
1 
To the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below:
I, the undersigned [chief financial officer] of [●], a corporation organized under the laws of Iowa (the “Borrower”), in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such facts and circumstances after the date hereof), that:
1.    This certificate is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section [●] of the [Senior Unsecured Bridge] Credit Agreement, dated as of [●], 2018, among the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and [●], as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) (the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
2.    For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:
(a)    “Fair Value”
The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.
(b)    “Present Fair Salable Value”
The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets (both tangible and intangible) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.
(c)    “Stated Liabilities”
The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof), determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.
(d)    “Identified Contingent Liabilities”
                                              
1 To be updated to reflect the issuance of the Senior Notes on the Closing Date, to the extent any Senior Notes are issued on the Closing Date.


D-I-1




The maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, uninsured risks and other contingent liabilities of the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole after giving effect to the Transactions (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof) (including all fees and expenses related thereto but exclusive of such contingent liabilities to the extent reflected in Stated Liabilities), as identified and explained in terms of their nature and estimated magnitude by responsible officers of the Borrower.
(e)    “Will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature”
For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as those liabilities mature or (in the case of Identified Contingent Liabilities) otherwise become payable, in light of business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Borrower and its subsidiaries as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.
(f)    “Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital”
The Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole after consummation of the Transactions is a going concern and has sufficient capital to reasonably ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date. I understand that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Borrower and its subsidiaries as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.
3.    For purposes of this certificate, I, or officers of the Borrower under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below.
(a)    I have reviewed the financial statements (including the pro forma financial statements) referred to in Section [●] of the Credit Agreement.
(b)    I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit Agreement.
(c)    As chief financial officer of the Borrower, I am familiar with the financial condition of the Borrower and its subsidiaries.
4.    Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of the Borrower that after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof), it is my opinion that (i) the Fair Value of the assets of the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole exceeds their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities, (ii) the Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole exceeds their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities; (iii) the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole do not have Unreasonably Small Capital; and (iv) the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature.
