Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum (except, with respect to any Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans or Other Revolving Loans, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Assumption Agreement) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than 14 EurocurrencyTerm SOFR Borrowings of the U.S. Borrowers in the aggregate and six Eurocurrency Borrowings of the European Borrowers in the aggregate being outstanding hereunder at any time (or in each such case such greater number of Eurocurrency Borrowings or Term SOFR Borrowings, as applicable, permitted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c)Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable currency to such account as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than (i) 12:00 (noon), New York City time, in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm SOFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars or an ABR Borrowing or (ii) 8:00 a.m., New York City time, in the case of any Borrowings denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account in the name of the applicable Borrower, designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with

any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of such Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate.

2.3 Borrowing Procedure.

Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, fax or e-mail delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Borrowing of Tranche B-1 U.S. Term Loans, Tranche B-2 U.S. Term Loans, Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Loans, European Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans of any other Class, Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Loans and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a Term SOFR Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing (or a FBR Borrowing); (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount and currency of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, (x) each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02 and (y) no Borrowing may be requested to be made on the same day that a prepayment under Section 2.12 of Loans of the same Class and Type the requested Borrowing is scheduled to be made. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be in the case of Borrowing denominated in Dollars, an ABR Borrowing, and, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, a Eurocurrency Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing or Term SOFR Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Each Revolving Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank for its own account, the fronting, issuing and drawing fees specified from time to time by such Issuing Bank (the “Issuing Bank Fees”).

(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank.

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to Holdings and the Lenders by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Holdings and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, which the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to do, (i) any request by a Borrower for the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a EurocurrencyTerm SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to a Daily Rate Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and the utilization of the LIBO Rate Adjusted Term SOFR component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Term SOFR Borrowing or Eurocurrency Borrowing, as applicable, then such Borrowing shall be made as a Daily Rate Borrowing and, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the utilization of the LIBO Rate Adjusted Term SOFR component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended; provided, however, that (x) in each case, Holdings may revoke any Borrowing Request that is pending when such notice is received and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only Borrowings in certain currencies, then Eurocurrencythe Borrowings in unaffected currencies shall be permitted to the extent otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the applicable U.S. Borrowers and the applicable European Borrowers may rescind any notice of termination under this Section 2.09 if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the relevant Loans, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(c)Each reduction in the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Class hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

(c) The U.S. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing with the first full calendar quarter ending after the 2021 Specified Refinancing and Incremental Amendment Effective Date, for the account of the Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Lenders, a principal amount of the Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13(f) and 2.23(d)) equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Loans made on the 2021 Specified Refinancing and Incremental Amendment Effective Date.

(d) Except with respect to the Term Loans described in the preceding clauses of this Section 2.11(a), the applicable Term Borrower or Term Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Incremental Term Lenders, on each Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Other Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12 and 2.13(f)) equal to the amount set forth for such date in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans and Other Term Loans shall be due and payable on the European Term Loan Maturity Date, the Tranche B-1 U.S. Term Loan Maturity Date, the Tranche B-2 U.S. Term Loan Maturity Date, the Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Loan Maturity Date or the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date, as the case may be, applicable to such Class of Term Loans or Other Term Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

2.12 Voluntary Prepayment. (a)The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, following written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, (i) three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of EurocurrencyTerm SOFR Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) four Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency and (iii) one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment, in the

case of ABR Loans; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum and (y) at the applicable Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(a), such prepayment may not, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.12 or any other provision of this Agreement and without otherwise limiting the rights in respect of prepayments of the Loans, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Holdings, any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries (each, a “Repurchaser”) may repurchase outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 on the following basis:

(a) The Repurchaser may conduct one or more auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans of any Class by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Term Lenders of the related Class) identifying the Term Loans that will be the subject of the Auction (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall contain (x) the total cash value of the bid, in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or €10,000,000, as the case may be, with minimum increments of $1,000,000 or €1,000,000, as the case may be (the “Auction Amount”) and (y) the discount to par, which shall be a range (the “Discount Range”) of percentages of the par principal amount of the Term Loans at issue that represents the range of purchase prices that could be paid in the Auction;

(e)If, prior to the date that is six months after the 2021 Specified Refinancing and Incremental Amendment Effective Date, (i) all or any portion of the Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Loans are prepaid out of the proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance or incurrence by Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries of any broadly syndicated dollar-denominated long-term term “B” credit facility that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Loans and the all-in-yield (as determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with Holdings and in a manner consistent with generally accepted financial practice and, in any event, excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication, commitment or other fees in connection therewith that are not shared with all providers of such financing, and without taking into account any fluctuations in the Adjusted LIBO RateTerm SOFR) of such secured term loan financing is less than the yield (as determined by the Administrative Agent on the same basis) of the Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Loans or (ii) a Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Lender must assign its Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.21 as a result of its failure to consent to an amendment that would reduce (as determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with Holdings) any of the interest rate margins (or other pricing-related terms) then in effect with respect to such Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Loans then in each case the aggregate principal amount so prepaid or assigned will be subject to a fee payable by the U.S. Borrowers equal to 1.0% of the principal amount thereof; provided that, in each case, such fee shall only be payable if the primary purpose (as determined by Holdings in good faith) of such prepayment, repayment, refinancing, substitution, replacement, amendment, waiver or other modification was to reduce the all-in-yield of the Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Loans; provided further that this Section 2.12(e) shall not apply to any

prepayment of the Tranche B-3 U.S. Term Loans upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or an acquisition or investment the aggregate consideration for which exceeds $125,000,000.

2.13 Mandatory Prepayments. (a)In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Borrowers shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings and replace or cause to be canceled (or cash collateralize or backstop pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank) all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by each such Issuing Bank. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time (including on any Calculation Date), the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Revolving Borrowers shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings and, after the Revolving Credit Borrowings shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace or cause to be canceled (or cash collateralize or backstop pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank) Letters of Credit issued by each such Issuing Bank in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(b) Not later than the Asset Sale Prepayment Date with respect to any Asset Sale, the Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(f); provided that (i) no such prepayment will be

Sections 2.13(f) and 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, to the extent that repatriating any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary (x) would result in material adverse tax consequences to Holdings or any Subsidiary or (y) is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to any jurisdiction that would enable such amounts to be applied to prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.13 (in the case of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), as reasonably determined by Holdings in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with the foregoing provisions, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary or invested in, distributed to or otherwise transferred to any other Foreign Subsidiary; provided, however, that, in the case of this clause (y), if the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow the repatriation of which is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law exceeds $10.0 million, Holdings shall take commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law, applicable organizational impediments or other impediment to permit such repatriation, and if such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow can be achieved such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be applied (whether or not repatriation actually occurs), in compliance with the foregoing provisions (A) in the case of Excess Cash Flow, within 10 Business Days thereafter and (B) in the

case of Net Cash Proceeds from Any Asset Sale, within the time periods specified in Section 2.13(b) above (measured from the date such Net Cash Proceeds can be repatriated, whether or not such repatriation actually occurs).

2.14 Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.
(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBOEURIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the applicable interbank market any other condition (including, in each case, the imposition of Taxes other than (and excluding) Taxes (i) imposed on any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) measured by net income or profits, franchise, branch profits or similar Taxes or (iii) arising under FATCA) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or Term SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loans or Term SOFR Loan or increase the cost to any Lender or any Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the U.S. Borrowers or the European Borrowers, as applicable,

regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

2.15 Change in Legality. (a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loan or any Term SOFR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan or any Term SOFR Loan, then, by written notice to the applicable Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent:

(a) such Lender may declare that Eurocurrency Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and Daily Rate Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurocurrency Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, whereupon any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing or Term SOFR Borrowing (or to convert a Daily Rate Borrowing to a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing or to continue a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period), as applicable, shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Daily Rate Loan (or a request to continue a Daily Rate Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurocurrency Loan or a Term SOFR Loan into a Daily Rate Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(b) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurocurrency Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, made by it be converted to Daily Rate Loans, in which event

 

DOCPROPERTY DPWPathText \* MERGEFORMAT #97135163v1


40

all such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to Daily Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

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

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the applicable Borrowers by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurocurrency Loan or Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by such Borrowers.

2.16 Breakage. The applicable Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan or Term SOFR Loan to a Daily Rate Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency LoanLoans or Term SOFR Loans, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurocurrency Loan or Term SOFR Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurocurrency Loan or Term SOFR Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the applicable Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or Term SOFR Loans after a Borrower has given notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurocurrency Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender (as reasonably determined by such Lender) in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A reasonably detailed certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the applicable Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.17 Pro Rata Treatment. Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, and except for prepayments of Term Loans made in accordance with Section 2.12(b) and as required under Section 2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any

41

Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar or Designated Foreign Currency amount.

2.18 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including prepayments received pursuant to Section 2.12(b)) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrowers and Holdings expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by any Borrower and Holdings to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.19 Payments. (a)The Borrowers shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document (i) with respect to any EurocurrencyTerm SOFR Borrowings denominated in Dollars or ABR Borrowings not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time and (ii) with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowings denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency or FBR Borrowings, not later than 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available funds, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment (other than Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at: in the case of the Administrative Agent, Eleven

All payments received by the Administrative Agent after (i) 12:00 (noon), New York City time, with respect to EurocurrencyTerm SOFR Borrowings denominated in Dollars or ABR Borrowings, or (ii) 8:00 a.m., New York City time, with respect to Eurocurrency Borrowings denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency or FBR Borrowings, shall be deemed received on the next Business Day (in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

(c)The obligations of the U.S. Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several. The obligations of the Revolving Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several. The obligations of the European Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Assumption Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Loans evidenced thereby, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Required Lenders, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.23 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers, (ii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 of the Original Credit Agreement (or, if the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment will be used to consummate a Permitted Acquisition, Section 4 of Amendment No. 6), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received from the applicable Borrower or Borrowers all fees and other amounts due and payable in respect of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by such Borrower or Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (iv) except for any Incremental Revolving Commitments requested in reliance on the Specified Incremental Revolving Amount, Holdings shall be in Pro Forma Compliance after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans to be made thereunder and the application of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date; provided that to the extent the proceeds of Loans made pursuant to any Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment will be used to consummate a Limited Condition Acquisition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.01, the conditions set forth in

 

DOCPROPERTY DPWPathText \* MERGEFORMAT #97135163v1


44

paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be required to be satisfied, at the option of Holdings, on the date on which definitive agreements with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into or on the effective date of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the applicable Borrower or Borrowers, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that (i) all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis and (ii) all Revolving Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (other than Other Revolving Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis. With respect to Incremental Term Loans, this may be accomplished by converting each outstanding Eurocurrency Term SOFR Borrowing into an ABR Term Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Term Loan. With respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments, this may be accomplished by (i) requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Credit Borrowing, (ii) causing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders or (iii) any combination of the foregoing. Any conversion of EurocurrencyTerm SOFR Loans to Daily Rate Loans contemplated in the preceding two sentences shall be subject to Section 2.16. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.11(a)(i) or (ii), as applicable, required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans and shall be further increased for all Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary to avoid any reduction in the amortization payments to which such Lenders were entitled before such recalculation.

2.24 Loan Modification Offers. (a)Holdings may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Loans and/or Commitments (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to Holdings. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.

(b) Holdings, each Loan Party and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of

the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this Section 2.24 unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent so reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and/or an officer’s certificate consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02(a) and (c) of the Original Credit Agreement.
