INTRODUCTORY NOTE
As previously disclosed, on March 29, 2023, Concentrix Corporation (“Concentrix” or the “Company”) announced the entrance into an agreement to combine with Webhelp, a leading provider of customer experience (CX) solutions with significant operations and client relationships in Europe, Latin America and Africa. Concentrix and OSYRIS S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”), entered into a binding put option letter agreement (the “Put Option”) with certain stockholders of Marnix Lux SA, a public limited liability company (société anonyme) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Webhelp Parent”) and the parent company of the Webhelp business. Pursuant to the Put Option, the Company and Purchaser have committed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Webhelp Parent from the holders thereof, subject to the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “SPA”) in the agreed form set forth as Schedule 3 to the Put Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Put Option and the SPA, including the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, the combination of the Concentrix and Webhelp businesses (the “Webhelp Combination”) is expected to be completed before the end of the year.
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
In connection with the Webhelp Combination, on April 21, 2023, Concentrix entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. to amend and restate Concentrix’ Credit Agreement dated as of October 16, 2020 (as so amended and restated, the “Restated Credit Agreement”).
The Restated Credit Agreement provides for the extension of a senior unsecured revolving credit facility not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $1.0425 billion. The Restated Credit Agreement also provides for a senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed approximately $2.1447 billion, of which $1.85 billion is outstanding and approximately $294.7 million of which is available to be drawn on a delayed draw basis (the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”), subject to customary conditions, concurrent with closing of the Webhelp Combination. Aggregate borrowing capacity under the Restated Credit Agreement may be increased by up to an additional $500 million by increasing the amount of the revolving credit facility or by incurring additional term loans, in each case subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase.
The date on which the Delayed Draw Term Loans under the Restated Credit Agreement will be funded must be no later than five business days after the End Date (as defined in the SPA), which may be extended pursuant to the SPA. The lenders’ obligation to fund the Delayed Draw Term Loans on the closing date of the Webhelp Combination is subject to several customary conditions, including, among others, consummation of the Webhelp Combination. The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loans on the closing date of the Webhelp Combination will be used to finance a portion of the Webhelp Combination and any related refinancing, together with the payment of related fees and expenses. The revolving credit facility is, subject to customary conditions, available for general corporate purposes and any other purpose not prohibited by the Restated Credit Agreement.
The maturity date of the Restated Credit Agreement remains December 27, 2026, subject, in the case of the revolving credit facility, to two one-year extensions upon Concentrix’ prior notice to the lenders and the agreement of the lenders to extend such maturity date. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan is payable in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.25% of the existing principal balance, plus any Delayed Draw Term Loans advanced on the closing date of the Webhelp Combination, commencing on December 31, 2024, with the outstanding principal amount of the term loans due in full on the maturity date.
Borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of SOFR rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 1.125% to 2.00%, based on the credit ratings of Concentrix’ senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money plus a credit spread adjustment to the SOFR rate of 0.10%. Borrowings under the



Restated Credit Agreement that are base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate (but not less than 1.0%) equal to (i) the greatest of (A) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) in effect on such day, (B) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1.0%, and (C) the adjusted one-month term SOFR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus (ii) an applicable margin, which ranges from 0.125% to 1.00%, based on the credit ratings of Concentrix’ senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money.
The Restated Credit Agreement contains certain loan covenants that are customary for credit facilities of this type and that restrict the ability of Concentrix and its subsidiaries to take certain actions, including the creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, changes to the nature of their business, and, solely with respect to subsidiaries of Concentrix, incurrence of indebtedness. In addition, the Restated Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require Concentrix to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) not to exceed 3.75 to 1.0 (or for certain periods following certain qualified acquisitions, 4.25 to 1.0) and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) equal to or greater than 3.00 to 1.0. The Restated Credit Agreement also contains various customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, and a change of control of Concentrix. The administrative agent under the Restated Credit Agreement is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
As of the effective date of the Amendment Agreement, none of Concentrix’ subsidiaries guarantee the obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Amendment Agreement and the Restated Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment Agreement and the Restated Credit Agreement attached as Annex A to the Amendment Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed, Concentrix entered into a commitment letter (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Bridge Commitment Letter”), under which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and certain other financing institutions joining thereto pursuant to the terms thereof committed to provide a 364-day bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $5.29 billion (the “Bridge Facility”) consisting of (i) a $1.85 billion tranche of term bridge loans (the “Term Loan Amendment Bridge Facility”), (ii) a $1.0 billion tranche of revolving commitments (the “Revolving Amendment Bridge Facility”) and (iii) a $2.44 billion tranche of term bridge loans (the “Term Loan Acquisition Bridge Facility”), each subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions including the consummation of the Webhelp Combination. On April 21, 2023, (i) the $1.85 billion commitment with respect to the Term Loan Amendment Bridge Facility and the $1.0 billion commitment with respect to the Revolving Amendment Bridge Revolving Facility were each reduced to zero, and (ii) the $2.44 billion commitment with respect to the Term Loan Acquisition Bridge Facility was reduced by approximately $294.7 million, in each case, in connection with Concentrix entering into the Restated Credit Agreement.

Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed transaction between the Company and Webhelp, the Company plans to file relevant materials with the SEC, including a proxy statement on Schedule 14A. Promptly after filing its definitive proxy statement with the SEC, the Company will mail the definitive proxy statement to each stockholder entitled to



vote at the special meeting relating to the transaction. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval. INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CAREFULLY READ THE PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO AND ANY DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE THEREIN) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION THAT THE COMPANY WILL FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTION AND THE PARTIES TO THE TRANSACTION. The definitive proxy statement, the preliminary proxy statement, and other relevant materials in connection with the transaction (when they become available) and any other documents filed by the Company with the SEC, may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) and the Company’s website at www.concentrix.com.
Participants in the Solicitation
The Company and its directors and executive officers may be deemed, under SEC rules, to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction. Information regarding the interests of such individuals in the proposed transaction will be included in the proxy statement relating to such transaction when it is filed with the SEC. You may obtain information about the Company’s executive officers and directors in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on February 9, 2023. To the extent holdings of such participants in the Company’s securities are not reported, or have changed since the amounts described in the proxy statement for the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, such changes have been reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. These documents may be obtained free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and Concentrix’ website at www.concentrix.com.
Information for U.S. Persons holding Marnix Lux Shares
This proposed business combination is made for the securities of a non-U.S. company. The offer is subject to disclosure and procedural requirements in France and other non-U.S. jurisdictions that are different from those of the United States. The proposed transaction will be structured to comply with the securities laws and regulations in France, the United States and other applicable jurisdictions that are applicable to transactions of this type.
It may be difficult for U.S. holders of Marnix Lux shares to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the federal securities laws of the United States, since Marnix Lux is incorporated in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction. U.S. holders may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.
Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the combination with Webhelp and the timing thereof, including the satisfaction of closing conditions and the timing thereof, the exercise of the Put Option and the execution of the SPA, and statements that include words such as believe, expect, may, will, provide, could and should and other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Risks and uncertainties include, among other things: risks related to the proposed transaction, including that the proposed transaction will not be consummated; the ability to satisfy the closing conditions to the proposed transaction in a timely manner, on acceptable terms or at all; conditions in the credit markets and the ability to obtain financing for the proposed transaction on a favorable basis, if at all; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and their impact on the U.S. dollar cost for Euro-denominated obligations; the ability to retain key employees and successfully integrate the Webhelp business; the Company’s



ability to realize estimated cost savings, synergies or other anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, or that such benefits may take longer to realize than expected; diversion of management’s attention; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the proposed acquisition on relationships with clients and other third parties; the unfavorable outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company, Webhelp Parent, the Sellers or the combined company; and other risks related to the Company’s and Webhelp’s businesses, including risks related to general economic conditions, cyberattacks on the Company’s or Webhelp’s networks and information technology systems, the loss of key personnel or the inability to attract and retain staff, increases in the cost of labor, the effects of communicable diseases, natural disasters, adverse weather conditions or public health crises, competitive conditions in the Company’s industry, higher than expected tax liabilities, the demand for CX solutions and technology, changes in law, and other factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and subsequent SEC filings.

(i)The Delayed Draw Term A Loans are intended to be treated as fungible with the other Term A Loans, as such terms of the Term A Loans are amended as set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement, for U.S. Federal tax purposes.

The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(i)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein: (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, and until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit in Dollars for the account of the Borrower or, so long as the Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant with such Subsidiary, for the account of any Subsidiary, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b) and (y) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit and any drawings thereunder; provided, that, after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (1) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (2) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (3) the total L/C Exposure shall not exceed the
42



Letter of Credit Sublimit, (4) the aggregate amount of the L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer shall not exceed such L/C Issuer’s L/C Commitment (unless otherwise agreed by such L/C Issuer in its sole discretion), (5) in the event the Revolving Maturity Date shall have been extended as provided in Section 2.17, the total L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit expiring after any Existing Revolving Maturity Date shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments that shall have been extended to a date after the latest expiration date of such Letters of Credit or (6) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, not more than 20 Letters of Credit shall be outstanding. Each request by the Borrower for any L/C Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested satisfies the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement (including Section 2.03(c)), to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the Borrower shall be deemed to be the applicant and account party for each Existing Letter of Credit.
(ii)No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A)subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension thereof, unless the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date;
(B)the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date; or
(C)such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars.
(iii)No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Restatement Effective Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;
43



(B)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;
(C)except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;
(D)any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(b)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Exposure as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or
(E)such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.
(iv)No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.
(v)No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(vi)Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
(b)Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.
(i)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by such L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to such L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the
44



proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.
(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions specified in Section 5.01 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii)If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, an L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by an L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that such L/C
45



Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii), Section 2.03(a)(iii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.01 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
(iv)If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, an L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder that has been reimbursed in full (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by an L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits an L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), such L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.01 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.
(v)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i)Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the event of any L/C Disbursement by an L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees to pay to such L/C Issuer the amount of such L/C Disbursement, in Dollars, no later than (x) 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day on which such L/C Issuer has provided notice thereof to the Borrower if such notice has been provided prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Business Day, or (y) no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day after the Borrower receives such notice from such L/C Issuer if
46



such notice is not received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day (each such date, an “Honor Date”), and such L/C Issuer shall provide prompt notice to the Administrative Agent of such reimbursement. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed L/C Disbursement (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 5.01 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii)Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, at such account of the Administrative Agent as shall have been most recently designated by the Administrative Agent for such purpose by notice to the Revolving Lenders, in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to such L/C Issuer.
(iii)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing as set forth in Section 2.03(c)(ii) because the conditions set forth in Section 5.01 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv)Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any L/C Disbursement, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.
47



(v)Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for L/C Disbursements as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.01 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse any L/C Issuer for the amount of any L/C Disbursement, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of such L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)Repayment of Participations.
(i)At any time after an L/C Issuer has made an L/C Disbursement and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect thereof in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount
48



is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the Facility Termination Date and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse each L/C Issuer for each L/C Disbursement and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv)waiver by such L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for such L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by such L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;
(v)honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;
(vi)any payment made by such L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the Uniform Commercial Code or the ISP;
(vii)any payment by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(viii)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.
49



The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f)Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in making any L/C Disbursement, no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall have any Liability, on any theory of liability, for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders or the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders, as applicable, (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (with such absence to be presumed unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined, in a final, non-appealable judgment, otherwise) or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Sections 2.03(e)(i) through (e)(viii); provided that anything in such sections to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, indirect, punitive or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves, as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring, endorsing or assigning or purporting to transfer, endorse or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. An L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.
(g)Applicability of ISP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no L/C Issuer shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and each L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such L/C Issuer required or permitted under any Law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a
50



jurisdiction where such L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade-International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such Law or practice.
(h)Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, in accordance, subject to Section 2.15, with its Applicable Revolving Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans that are Term SOFR Loans times the average daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s L/C Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to Unreimbursed Amounts) in respect of such Letter of Credit. Letter of Credit Fees accrued through and including the last day of each March, June, September and December shall be due and payable in arrears on the 15th day following such last day, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, provided that all accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, and any Letter of Credit Fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be due and payable on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(i)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer, for its own account, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer accruing at the rate per annum separately agreed in writing by the Borrower and such L/C Issuer, times the average daily amount of the L/C Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to Unreimbursed Amounts) attributable to such Letter of Credit. Fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each March, June, September and December shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day following such last day, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, provided that all fronting fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, and any fronting fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer, for its own account, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(j)Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(k)Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, any Subsidiary, or states that any Subsidiary is the “account party”, “applicant”, “customer”, “instructing party” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable L/C Issuer (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all L/C Disbursements thereunder, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due
51



under Sections 2.03(h) and 2.03(i)) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(l)Additional L/C Issuers. The Borrower may from time to time designate a Lender as an L/C Issuer (upon obtaining such Lender’s prior consent thereto). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any designation of any such additional L/C Issuer by the Borrower. Upon delivery by the Borrower of such contact and other information regarding such L/C Issuer as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request (including a written notification of the amount of the L/C Commitment of such Lender), such Lender shall become an L/C Issuer for all purposes of this Agreement, and references to “L/C Issuer” shall mean and include such Lender in its capacity as an L/C Issuer.
(m)L/C Issuer Reports to the Administrative Agent. Each L/C Issuer shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.03, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, including all issuances, extensions and amendments, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements and (ii) such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a record of all outstanding Letters of Credit based upon information provided by the Borrower and the L/C Issuers pursuant to this Section 2.03(m), and such record of the Administrative Agent shall, absent manifest error, be deemed a correct and conclusive record of all Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent the Administrative Agent determines that there are one or more discrepancies between information provided by the Borrower and any L/C Issuer hereunder, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and such L/C Issuer thereof and the Borrower and such L/C Issuer shall endeavor to reconcile any such discrepancy.
(n)L/C Exposure Determination.
(i)The amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided that, with respect to any Letter of Credit that by its terms provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
(ii)For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Article 29(a) of the UCP, Rule 3.13 or Rule 3.14 of the ISP or similar terms in the governing rules or laws or of the Letter of Credit itself, or if compliant documents have been presented but not yet honored, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” and “undrawn” in the amount so remaining available to be paid, and the obligations of the Borrower and each Revolving Lender hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Lenders shall have no further
52



obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.
2.04Swing Line Loans.
(a)Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that (i) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (A) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (ii) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan and (iii) without limiting its discretion as set forth above, the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow Swing Line Loans under this Section 2.04(a), prepay Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a), and reborrow Swing Line Loans under this Section 2.04(a). Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Daily Simple SOFR Loan; provided, however, that if, at any time, (x) the Swing Line Lender determines, or the Swing Line Lender is advised by the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders, that the Adjusted Simple Daily SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Swing Line Lender or such Revolving Lenders of making or maintaining any Swing Line Loan (or their risk participations therein) or (y) the Swing Line Lender determines, or the Swing Line Lender is advised by the Administrative Agent that it has determined (which determination, in each case, shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, then each Swing Line Loan shall be made as, or shall convert to, a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b)Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone or a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the principal amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day and (iii) the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which, if not an account of the Borrower located in the United States, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Swing Line Lender). Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received written notice from any
53



Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed borrowing of Swing Line Loans (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.01 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.
(c)Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i)The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 5.01 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, at such account of the Administrative Agent as shall have been most recently designated by the Administrative Agent for such purpose by notice to the Revolving Lenders (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each such Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(ii)If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which
54



such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.04(c)(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to acquire and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.01 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d)Repayment of Participations.
(i)At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii)If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the NYFRB Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the Facility Termination Date and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until a Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan or its risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
55



(f)Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
2.05Prepayments.
(a)Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.
(i)Revolving Loans and Term Loans. The Borrower may, upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Revolving Borrowing and/or any Term Borrowing in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (1)  two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of any Term SOFR Borrowing, (2) three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of any Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing and (3) on the date of prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing, (B) any such prepayment of any Term SOFR Borrowing shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding), (C) any such prepayment of any Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing or any Base Rate Borrowing shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding), (D) any prepayment of any Term A Borrowing after the Restatement Effective Date shall be applied to the principal amortization payments thereof in the manner specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Loan Prepayment (or, in the absence of such specification, in direct order of maturity) and (E) any prepayment of any Incremental Term Loan shall be applied to the principal amortization payments thereof as provided in the relevant Incremental Amendment. Each Notice of Loan Prepayment shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) and Class(es) of Borrowings to be prepaid and, if Term SOFR Borrowing is to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Borrowing. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each appropriate Lender of its receipt of each Notice of Loan Prepayment. If such Notice of Loan Prepayment is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such Notice of Loan Prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that any Notice of Loan Prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such Notice of Loan Prepayment is conditioned upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions specified therein, in which case such Notice of Loan Prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if any such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of any Loan (other than any prepayment of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans prior to the end of the Availability Period) shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid. Subject to Section 2.15, each such prepayment of any Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.
(ii)Swing Line Loans. The Borrower may, upon delivery to the Swing Line Lender of a Notice of Loan Prepayment (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Swing Line Lender, (A) such Notice of Loan Prepayment must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than
56



1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each such Notice of Loan Prepayment shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such Notice of Loan Prepayment is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such Notice of Loan Prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that any Notice of Loan Prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such Notice of Loan Prepayment is conditioned upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions specified therein, in which case such Notice of Loan Prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if any such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of Swing Line Loans shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid.
(b)Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.
(i)Revolving Commitments. If for any reason the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at any time exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that (A) the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect and (B) if the Borrower has Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.15, for purposes of this Section 2.05(b)(i), the L/C Exposure shall be deemed to have been reduced by the amount of such Cash Collateral.
(ii)Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied, first, ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swing Line Loans, second, to the outstanding Revolving Loans and third, to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Exposure (if required by Section 2.05(b)(i)).
Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans, then to Daily Simple SOFR Loans and then to Term SOFR Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.05(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and, other than any prepayment of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans prior to the end of the Availability Period, shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.
2.06Termination or Reduction of Commitments.
(a)Optional Termination or Reductions. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the Commitments of any Class; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after
57



giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Any notice of termination or reduction of the Commitment of any Class delivered by the Borrower may state that such termination or reduction is conditioned upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of such termination or reduction) if any such condition is not satisfied. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of the applicable Class of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments. Any reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be applied to the Commitment of such Class of each Lender ratably. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. All Revolving Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments (in the case of any reduction, in respect of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments subject to such reduction) shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination, and all Ticking Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination or reduction of the Delayed Draw Term A Loan Commitments (in the case of any reduction, in respect of the aggregate amount of the Delayed Draw Term A Loan Commitments subject to such reduction) shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination.
(b)Mandatory Terminations. Unless previously terminated, all the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Revolving Maturity Date. The Term A Loan Commitments established under the Existing Credit Agreement terminated prior to the Restatement Effective Date as set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement; and the Term A Loan Commitments and the Delayed Draw Term A Loan Commitments established under the Amendment and Restatement Agreement shall terminate as set forth therein. Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Class established under any Incremental Amendment shall terminate as set forth therein.
2.07Repayment of Loans.
(a)Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Revolving Lenders on the Revolving Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding on such date.
(b)Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made and (ii) the Revolving Maturity Date.
(c)Term A Loans. (i) The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loans in quarterly installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on December 31, 2024, in an amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term A Loans made on the Original Term A Loan Funding Date, in each case as such installments may be adjusted as a result of prepayments made after the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.05 or adjusted pursuant to clause (ii) below, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.02. On the Maturity Date for the Term A Loans, the Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loans in full.
58



(ii)Upon the making of any Delayed Draw Term A Loans, each subsequent remaining repayment installment of the outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loans set forth in clause (i) above shall be adjusted ratably by the aggregate principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term A Loans (or in such other manner determined by the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, as shall preserve the fungibility thereof for U.S. federal income tax purposes). The Administrative Agent shall be authorized to make such adjustment and shall, upon request, provide a schedule of the remaining repayment installments of the outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loans to the Borrower and each Term A Lender.
(d)Incremental Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans of any Class as provided in the applicable Incremental Amendment, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.02.
2.08Interest.
(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate, (ii) each Base Rate Loan (including, to the extent applicable, each Swing Line Loan that is a Base Rate Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing or conversion date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iii) each Daily Simple SOFR Loan (including each Swing Line Loan that is a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, but otherwise only if such Type of Loan is applicable pursuant to Section 3.03) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing or conversion date at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Rate. To the extent that any calculation of interest or any fee required to be paid under this Agreement shall be based on (or would result in) a calculation that is less than zero, such calculation shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan, any L/C Disbursement or any fee payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c)Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.09Fees.
In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(h) and 2.03(i):
(a)Revolving Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (A) the aggregate outstanding
59



principal amount of Revolving Loans and (B) the total L/C Exposure, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15. For the avoidance of doubt, the Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments for purposes of determining the Revolving Commitment Fee. The Revolving Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 5.01 is not met. The Revolving Commitment Fee accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December shall be due and payable in arrears on the 15th day following such last day, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date, and accrued but unpaid Revolving Commitment Fees shall also be due and payable on the last day of the Availability Period. The Revolving Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(b)Ticking Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Delayed Draw Term A Lender, a ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to 0.15% of the daily aggregate amount of such Lender’s Delayed Draw Term A Loan Commitment, which shall accrue from and including (i) June 28, 2023 to but excluding (ii) the earlier of (A) the Delayed Draw Funding Date and (B) the date of termination of the Delayed Draw Term A Loan Commitments (such period, the “Ticking Fee Accrual Period”), which Ticking Fee shall be fully earned and payable on the last day of the Ticking Fee Accrual Period (or if such date is not a Business Day, then payable on the next following Business Day).
(c)Other Fees.
(i)The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
(ii)The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
2.10Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest computed by reference to the Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR and, subject to the next sentence, the Base Rate and all computations of fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days. Interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). In each case, interest shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination. The applicable Base Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.11Evidence of Debt.
(a)The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the
60



ordinary course of business. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register in accordance with Section 11.06(c). The accounts or records maintained by each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall be in the form of Exhibit G (a “Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b)In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.12Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a)General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, at the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Borrower, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its pro rata share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, may be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day (or, in the case of principal repayment installments on Term SOFR Loans, if the result of such extension would be to extend such principal repayment installment into another calendar month, such principal repayment installment shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day), and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b)(i)  Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
61



corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans of the applicable Class. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii)Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(iii)A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender, any LIC Issuer or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility to determine whether or not the conditions set forth in Article V are satisfied, such responsibility being exclusively that of the Lenders), the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d)Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its
62



corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).
(e)Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that, any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(f)Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.
2.13Sharing of Payments by Lenders.
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Revolving Loans or Term Loans made by it, or the participations in Letters of Credit or in Swing Line Loans held by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and Term Loans and subparticipations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and their respective participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans; provided, that:
(i)if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time), including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender and any payment pursuant to Section 2.17, (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.14 or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
63



The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
2.14Cash Collateral.
(a)Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Exposure for any reason remains outstanding, (ii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section  9.02(c), (iii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Revolving Lender, the Borrower shall immediately (in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases) following any request by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above, after giving effect to Section 2.15(b) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Revolving Lender).
(b)Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Revolving Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer as herein provided (other than Liens permitted under Section 8.01(m)), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the amount thereof required pursuant to Section 2.14(a), the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.15(c), after giving effect to Section 2.15(b) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Revolving Lender). All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.
(c)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.15 or 9.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Exposure, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Revolving Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(d)Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the
64



applicable Revolving Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee)) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that (A) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and (B) the Person providing Cash Collateral and such L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
2.15Defaulting Lenders.
(a)Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)Waivers and Amendments. The Commitments, Term Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, a Majority in Interest of any Class or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 11.01); provided that any amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.01, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.
(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.14; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.14; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise as may be required under the
