Item 1.01	Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.	
On March 7, 2018, Genworth Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Genworth Holdings, Inc. (“Genworth Holdings”) entered into a new senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated March 7, 2018, among Genworth Holdings, as the borrower, and the Company, as the guarantor, the lenders from time to time party thereto, which includes an affiliate of China Oceanwide Holdings Group Co. Ltd. (“Oceanwide”), and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as the administrative agent (the “Agent”).
On and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Facility comprises a 5-year senior secured term loan in an aggregate original principal amount of $450 million that is secured primarily by a pledge of the publicly listed shares of the Company’s Canadian mortgage insurance subsidiary, Genworth MI Canada Inc., held by Genworth Financial International Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Genworth Holdings. The obligations of Genworth Holdings under the Term Loan Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.
The Term Loan Facility was issued at 99.5% of par value, will require quarterly amortization payments equal to 1.0% per annum and the term loans thereunder will bear interest at a variable per annum rate equal to, at Genworth Holdings’ option: (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.50%, or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (b) The Wall Street Journal ’s “U.S. Prime Rate” and (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%) plus 3.50%. The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility will be used, together with cash on hand, to repay existing indebtedness and transaction fees and expenses, and could be used to pay the Company’s 6.515% senior unsecured notes due May 2018. The Term Loan Facility includes an uncommitted incremental facility subject to satisfying certain specified conditions. The aggregate amount of any such incremental borrowings will be limited to a maximum loan-to-value ratio at a prescribed level set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and negative and affirmative covenants in favor of the Agent and the lenders under the Term Loan Facility. The negative covenants contain various restrictions, including restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, among other things, to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, consummate acquisitions, make investments and pay dividends and other distributions, in each case subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in detail in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires Genworth Holdings to comply with certain financial covenants described in more detail in the Credit Agreement, including a maximum debt-to-total-capitalization ratio, a maximum loan-to-value ratio and a minimum capital test in respect of Genworth MI Canada Inc.
The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including grace periods, thresholds and qualifications set forth in detail in the Credit Agreement. If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of the Term Loan Facility and exercise other rights and remedies. An event of default includes, among other things, the nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts when due; the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct; the failure to perform or observe covenants in the Credit Agreement or other loan documents; cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness; bankruptcy or insolvency events; certain unsatisfied judgments; the asserted invalidity of the loan documentation; certain insurance and governmental licenses matters; and a change of control of the Company, other than the pending acquisition by Oceanwide.
The summary set forth above is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Agent shall make the proceeds of the Initial Loans available to the Borrower on the Closing Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Initial Loans received by the Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Agent’s Office or to such other account as may be designated in writing to the Agent by the Borrower.

Section 2.06.     Conversion and Continuation of Loans.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) each conversion of Loans from one Interest Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable written notice to the Agent in the form of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, (ii) such Conversion/Continuation Notice must be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date of any conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (iii) a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. The Agent shall determine the interest rate that shall apply to any converted or continued Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section  2.10(b) .
(b)    Each Conversion/Continuation Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a conversion of Loans from one Interest Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be converted or continued, (iv) the Interest Type of Loans to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto (each such Interest Period shall comply with the provisions of the definition of “ Interest Period ”).
(c)    Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if (i) an Event of Default of the type described in Section  8.01(a) , (f) or (g)  has occurred and is continuing, unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have requested, each Loan will be converted into a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Section 2.07.     Notes; Loan Accounts.
(a)    Each Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Agent in the ordinary course of business. The loan accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence in the absence of manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to 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 Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. To the extent any such accounts are inconsistent with the Register, the Register shall govern absent manifest error.
(b)    Upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent, instead of or in addition to loan accounts, the Loans made by each Lender may be evidenced by one or more Notes. Each Lender shall endorse on the schedules annexed to its Note the date, amount and maturity of each Loan deemed made by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto. Each such Lender is irrevocably authorized by the Borrower to so endorse its Note and each Lender’s record shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the failure of a Lender to make, or an error in making, a notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any such Note to such Lender.
Section 2.08.     Repayment of Loans.
The Borrower shall repay to the Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, on the last day of each March, June, September and December (commencing on June 30, 2018) the principal amount of Initial Loans equal to (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Initial Loans immediately after closing on the Closing Date multiplied by (ii) 0.25%; provided that in the event any New Term Loans are made, such New Term Loans shall be repaid on each amortization date listed above occurring on or after
 
43

the applicable Increased Amount Date in the manner specified in the Joinder Agreement, or, if any such New Term Loans are documented as a separate credit facility, such New Term Loans shall be repaid as provided in the definitive agreement therefor, subject in each case to the provisions of Section  2.15 .
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) such amortization payments shall be reduced in accordance with Section  2.09(e) in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Loans in accordance with Section  2.09 ; and (y) the Initial Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.
Section 2.09.     Optional and Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)     Optional Prepayments . The Borrower will have the right at any time to prepay any Credit Extension in whole or in part, in minimum amounts of $1,000,000 or any multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, without premium or penalty except as set forth in Section  2.09(c) or Section  3.04 , in each case if and as applicable.
(b)     [Reserved] .
(c)     Prepayment Premium. In the event that the Borrower makes any voluntary prepayment under Section  2.09(a) , purchase or buyback under Section  10.07(c) , makes any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section  2.09(d)(i) or causes any prepayment or mandatory assignment under Section  3.07 (a “ Specified Prepayment ”), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Lenders holding the Loans subject to such Specified Prepayment, a prepayment premium in an amount equal to (1) on or prior to the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date, the Make-Whole Amount or (2) on or prior to the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date but after the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date, 1.0% of the principal amount of the Loans subject to such Specified Prepayment.
(d)     Mandatory Prepayments . The Borrower shall be required to make mandatory prepayments as set forth in subclauses  (i) through (v) .
(i)     Indebtedness . Within one Business Day after any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of the incurrence of any Indebtedness pursuant to Section  7.01(a)(ii) or any Indebtedness not otherwise permitted hereunder, the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds.
(ii)     Asset Sales . Within five Business Days after any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds; provided, that (i) in the case of any Asset Sale of MIC Stock constituting Collateral, if after giving effect to such Asset Sale and any concurrent repayment of the Loans, the LTV Ratio, on a Pro Forma Basis, is no greater than 35%, such Net Proceeds shall not be subject to prepayment under this Section  2.09(d)(ii) and may be used for general corporate purposes (other than Restricted Payments by the Parent) and (ii) in the case of any Asset Sale of USMI Equity Interests, no such prepayment shall be required from proceeds of such Asset Sale to the extent such Asset Sale with respect to USMI Equity Interests, together with USMI Equity Interests previously subject to an Asset Sale or pledged to third-party creditors, constitutes not more than 50% of the outstanding common stock of USMI (an “ Asset Sale Trigger Event ” and any mandatory prepayment pursuant to clause  (i) or (ii)  above, an “ Asset Sale Mandatory Prepayment ”).
 
44

(iii)     Excess Cash Flow. In the event that there shall be Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2019), the Borrower shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which annual financial statements are required to be delivered under Section  6.01(a) with respect to such Fiscal Year, prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (B) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of principal of the Loans or New Term Loans made during such Fiscal Year or (without duplication of any reduction during the subsequent Fiscal Year) made prior to the date of such Excess Cash Flow prepayment, in each case that are not financed with the proceeds of long term debt (other than revolving indebtedness). As used in this Section  2.09(d)(iii) , the term, “ Applicable ECF Percentage ” for any Fiscal Year means 50%; provided that the Applicable ECF Percentage shall be reduced to (i) 25% if the LTV Ratio as of the date of such prepayment is less than or equal to 30% but greater than 20% and (ii) 0% if the LTV Ratio as of the date of such prepayment is less than or equal to 20%.
(iv)     Specified Account . Solely to the extent the 2018 Notes have not been refinanced in full on or prior to the maturity date thereunder (whether or not with the amounts on deposit in the Specified Account), any remaining amounts on deposit in the Specified Account shall be automatically released to the Borrower to be applied to prepay the Loans.
(v)     Majority Ownership of MIC Shares . If at any time, the Parent or the Borrower cease to own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the outstanding common shares of MIC, the Borrower shall, no later than one (1) Business Day after the date on which such event occurs, prepay all Loans outstanding at such time, together with all other non-contingent amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto.
(e)     Application of Prepayments .
(i)    Any prepayment of any Loan of any Class pursuant to Section  2.09(a) shall be allocated among the Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis and further applied to the remaining scheduled principal repayment installments of the Loans of such Class so prepaid in the order in which they would otherwise have been required to be paid, or as the Borrower shall otherwise direct in writing to the Agent; and
(ii)    Any prepayment of any Loans of any Class required to be prepaid pursuant to Sections  2.09(d)(i) through (v)  shall be allocated among the Loans (or, in the case of a prepayment with the Net Proceeds of Extended Loans, solely among the Loans being extended) on a pro rata basis among all such Classes; provided , that any Lender may elect, by notice to the Agent no later than one Business Day after the Agent’s receipt of the notice of such prepayment, to decline all or any portion of any such prepayment of its Loans (other than a prepayment pursuant to Section  2.09(d)(i) or, for the avoidance of doubt, a prepayment pursuant to Section  2.09(a) or Section  7.12 ), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Loans but was so declined (such amount, the “ Declined Proceeds ”) shall be retained by the Borrower and added to the Available Amount. Any prepayment of any Loans of any Class pursuant to Sections  2.09(d)(i) through (v)  shall be applied on a pro rata basis within such Class and further to the remaining scheduled principal repayment installments of the Loans of such Class so prepaid in the order in which they would otherwise have been required to be paid, or as the Borrower shall otherwise direct in writing to the Agent.
(f)     Notice of Prepayments . The Borrower shall notify the Agent in writing of any prepayment of any Credit Extension pursuant to Section  2.09(a) and Section  2.09(d), (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the prepayment date. Each such notice
 
45

shall be irrevocable (other than to the extent provided in connection with other transactions including the refinancing of any of the Obligations) and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Credit Extension or portion thereof to be prepaid.
(g)     Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans . Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section  3.04 .
(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section  2.09(d)(ii) or (e) , if at the time that any such prepayment would be required hereunder, the Borrower is required to offer to repurchase or prepay any other Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with such Net Proceeds (such Indebtedness required to be offered to be so repurchased or prepaid, the “ Other Applicable Indebtedness ”), then the Borrower may apply such Net Proceeds on a pro rata basis to the prepayment of the Loans and to the repurchase or prepayment of the Other Applicable Indebtedness (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness (or accreted amount if such Other Applicable Indebtedness is issued with original issue discount) at such time; provided that the portion of such Net Proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such Net Proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Net Proceeds shall be allocated to the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), and the amount of prepayment of the Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section  2.09(d)(ii) shall be reduced accordingly.
Section 2.10.     Interest.
(a)    Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made until the date of repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:
(i)    if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or
(ii)    if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)    The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to the Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be; provided , until the date on which the Agent notifies the Borrower that the primary syndication of the Loans has been completed, as determined by the Agent (but in any event which shall be no later than the date that is sixty (60) days), the Loans shall be maintained as either (1) Eurodollar Rate Loans having an interest period of no longer than one month or (2) Base Rate Loans.
(c)     In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event the Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan shall be made as or, if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan will be automatically continued on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan as, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as a Base Rate Loan). In the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Loan Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice (or fails to
 
46

deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice within the time limits provided in Section  2.06(a) ), the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the U.S. Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(d)     [ Reserved ] .
(e)     [ Reserved ] .
(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default pursuant to Section  8.01(a) , for so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, all overdue principal and interest payable on each Loan shall, without further notice, bear interest, after as well as before judgment to the extent permitted by law, at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding subsections of this Section. In addition, if any fee or other amount (other than principal or interest on any Loan) payable by the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document is not paid when due, whether upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment to the extent permitted by law, at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in the preceding subsections of this Section; provided that no amount of interest in excess of that provided for under paragraph  (a) of this Section shall accrue or be payable pursuant to this Section  2.10(f) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
(g)    Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section  2.10(f) shall be payable on demand of the Agent, (ii) upon any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, interest accrued on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) upon any conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan before the end of the current Interest Period therefor, interest accrued on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(h)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the highest rate of interest that may be
 
47

lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.
Section 2.11.     Fees.
The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed in writing upon by the Borrower and the Agent.
Section 2.12.     Computation of Fees and Interest.
(a)    All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the “U. S. Prime Rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.
(b)    Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Agent will, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or the Lender, as the case may be, a statement showing the quotations used by the Agent in determining any interest rate and the resulting interest rate.
Section 2.13.     Payments Generally.
(a)    Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, all payments to be made by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made without condition or deduction for any defense, set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, all payments to be made by the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Agent’s Office, and shall be made in dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified in such Loan Document. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received. Any payment received by the Agent later than 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day for purposes of any applicable interest or fee calculation.
(b)     [ Reserved ] .
(c)    Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Agent in immediately available funds, then:
(i)    if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect; and
 
48

(ii)    if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Agent (the “ Compensation Period ”) at the customary rate set by the Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Credit Extension. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate for Base Rate Loans to the applicable Credit Extension. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments or to prejudice any rights that the Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c)  shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d)    If any Lender makes available to the Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2 , and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Agent because the conditions to the extension of Loans set forth in Article 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(e)    The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its 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.
(f)    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.
Section 2.14.     Sharing of Payments by Lenders.
(a)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment (i) on account of any Obligations due and payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time resulting in such Lender receiving payment in excess of its ratable share (calculated according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (y) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (ii) of or on account of any of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (calculated according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (y) the aggregate amount of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time, then in each case, such Lender shall (A) notify the Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Obligations of the other Lenders due and payable or owing, as the case may be, or make such other
 
49

adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of such excess payments shall be shared by all such Lenders; provided that:
(i)    if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)    the provisions of this Section  2.14(a) shall not be construed to apply to (I) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (II) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.
(b)    Each Obligor 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 such Obligor rights of setoff and counterclaim (subject to Section  10.09 ) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Obligor in the amount of such participation.
Section 2.15.     Incremental Facilities.
(a)    The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent, elect to request prior to the Maturity Date the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (the “ New Term Loan Commitments ”), in an unlimited amount so long as the LTV Ratio, determined on a Pro Forma Basis (but excluding the cash proceeds of such incurrence) does not exceed 37.69%, and in an amount not less than $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “ Increased Amount Date ”) on which the New Term Loan Commitments shall be effective and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “ New Term Loan Lender ”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that the Borrower may, at its option, approach any Arranger to arrange all or portion of the New Term Loan Commitments or any Lender to provide all or a portion of the New Term Loan Commitments (and such Arrangers and Lenders may elect or decline, in their sole discretion, to arrange or provide a New Term Loan Commitment). Such New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) no Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable; (2) the representations and warranties of the Specified Loan Parties contained in Article  5 or any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects, in each case, on and as of the Increased Amount Date, after giving effect to such borrowing, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; (3) the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenants as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements are available after giving effect to such New Term Loan Commitments; (4) all New Term Loan Commitments may, be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the New Term Loan Lender(s) and the Agent, each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Term Loan Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section  3.01(e) ; and (5) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date may be designated as separate Class of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement or as an increase in the Initial Loans and being part of the same Class as the Initial Loans.
 
50

(b)    The terms and provisions of the New Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be as set forth herein, in the Joinder Agreement or in the definitive agreement for such New Incremental Term Loan Facility; provided that the New Incremental Term Loan Facility may rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu or junior in right of security with the existing Initial Loans or may be unsecured.
(i)    In the event any New Incremental Term Loan Facility ranks pari passu in right of payment and pari passu in right of security with the existing Initial Loans (i) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of all New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Loans then in effect, (ii) the applicable Maturity Date of such New Incremental Term Loan Facility (other than customary bridge financings) shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date applicable to the Initial Loans then in effect, (iii) the interest rate applicable to the New Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder Agreement or in the definitive agreement for such New Incremental Term Loan Facility; provided , however , that the Weighted Average Yield applicable to the New Term Loans (other than customary bridge financings) shall not be greater than the then applicable Weighted Average Yield of the Initial Loans payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation plus 0.50% per annum unless the interest rate margin with respect to the Initial Loans is increased so as to cause the then applicable Weighted Average Yield under this Agreement on the Initial Loans to equal the Weighted Average Yield then applicable to the New Term Loans minus 0.50% per annum; provided that if the New Term Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the Initial Loans, such increased amount shall be equated to Weighted Average Yield for purposes of determining whether an increase to the applicable interest rate margins for the Initial Loans shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor for the Initial Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the Initial Loans shall be increased by such increased amount and (iv) all other terms of the New Incremental Term Loan Facility, if not consistent with the terms of the Loans, as applicable shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent (it being understood that terms not consistent with the Initial Loans and that are applicable only after the Maturity Date of the Initial Loans or which are added to this Agreement (which shall not require the consent of the Lenders) for the benefit of the Initial Loans are acceptable to the Agent). Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent to effect the provision of this Section  2.15 .
(ii)    In the event any New Incremental Term Loan Facility (x) ranks junior in right of payment or junior in right of security with the Initial Loans or (y) is unsecured, such New Incremental Term Loan Facility shall (i) not mature (other than customary bridge financings) prior to the Maturity Date of the Initial Loans or have a Weighted Average Yield that is shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Yield of the Loans and (ii) be subject to covenants and events of default substantially the same as, or less favorable to the Lenders than, those applicable to the Initial Loans, in each case taken as a whole (except for covenants, events of default or other provisions that are applicable only after the occurrence of the Latest Maturity Date of the Initial Loans or which are added to this Agreement (which shall not require the consent of the Lenders) for the benefit of the Initial Loans.
(iii)    The New Incremental Term Loan Facility may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section  2.09(a) or any mandatory prepayments of the Initial Loans under Section  2.09(d) , as specified in the applicable Joinder Agreement.

(iv)    The New Incremental Term Loan Facility shall (i) to the extent secured or subordinated, be subject to customary intercreditor and/or subordination arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent and (ii) be guaranteed solely by the Guarantors (or a guarantee substantially similar to the Guarantee, but on an unsecured basis, as the case may be) and, to the extent secured, be secured solely by the Collateral.
(c)     [Reserved] .
(d)    On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Incremental Term Loan Facility is effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each New Term Loan Lender shall make a Loan to the Borrower (a “ New Term Loan ”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment and (ii) to the extent such New Term Loans are documented by a Joinder Agreement, each New Term Loan Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment and the New Term Loans made pursuant thereto.
(e)    The Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof, the New Term Loan Commitments and the New Term Loan Lenders.
 Section 2.16.     Defaulting Lenders.
(a)     D efaulting Lender Waterfall . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article  8 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section  10.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second , as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; third , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth , 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 fifth , to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section  4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section  2.16(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(b)     Defaulting Lender Cure . If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the effective date specified in such notice, and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the
 
52

Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided , further , that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
 Section 2.17.     Maturity Extensions of Loans.
(a)    The Borrower may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this Section  2.17 , agree with one or more Lenders holding Loans (each an “ Existing Lender ”) to extend the maturity date of such Loans and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section  2.17 (each such modification, an “ Extension ”) pursuant to one or more written offers (each an “ Extension Offer ”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders on a pro rata basis (based on the relative principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of each Lender) and on the same terms to each such Lender. In connection with each Extension, the Borrower will provide notification to the Agent (for distribution to the Existing Lenders), no later than ten (10) days (or such later date as shall be agreed by the Agent) prior to the maturity of the Loans to be extended, of the requested new maturity date for the extended Loans (each an “ Extended Maturity Date ”) and the due date for Lender responses. In connection with any Extension, each Existing Lender wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide the Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. Any Existing Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension. In connection with any Extension, the Borrower and the Agent shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by the Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section  2.17 .
(b)    After giving effect to any Extension, the Loans so extended shall cease to be a part of the Class of Loans of which they were a part immediately prior to such Extension and shall be a new Class hereunder; provided that at no time shall there be more than four (4) different Classes of Loans hereunder.
(c)    The consummation and effectiveness of each Extension shall be subject to the following:
(i)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time any Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders or at the time of such Extension (after giving effect to such Extension);
(ii)    the Loans (the “ Existing Loans ”) of any Existing Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (“ Extended Loans ”) shall have the same terms as the Loans of such Existing Lender subject to the related Extension Amendment; except (A) the principal amount of the Extended Loans shall not be greater than the principal amount of the Existing Loans (except by an amount equal to unpaid accrued interest and premium thereon plus other amounts paid, and fees and expenses incurred, in connection with such Extension plus additional amounts permitted to be incurred under this Agreement), (B) the final maturity date of any Extended Loans to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be not earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of the Existing Loans outstanding at the time of such Extension, and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Loans to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Existing Loans, (C) the Extended Loans shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, (D) the Extended Loans shall be (1) unsecured, (2) secured on an “equal and ratable” basis with the Obligations, or (3) secured on a “junior” basis to the Obligations (in the case of clause  (3) , subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent), and if secured, shall not be secured by any property or assets of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries other than the Collateral, (E) the
 
53

all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) with respect to the Extended Loans may be higher or lower than the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) for the Existing Loans, and the Extended Loans may have such optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders thereof; (F) any Extended Loans shall share ratably in any prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section  2.09(d) (or otherwise provide for less favorable prepayment treatment for such Extended Loans than for the Existing Loans); (G) the Extended Loans may, but shall not be required to, contain a “most favored nation” provision for the benefit of Lenders holding Extended Loans; and (H) the other terms and conditions applicable to Extended Loans may be terms different than those with respect to the Existing Loans, so long as such terms and conditions (1) are not materially more favorable, on the whole, to the Lenders holding such Extended Loans than the terms and conditions applicable to the Existing Loans, (2) only apply after the Latest Maturity Date of the Existing Loans or (3) current market terms (as reasonably determined by the Borrower); provided , further , that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section  10.01 , each Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable extending Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section  2.17 , including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the extending Lenders as a new Class of Loans hereunder;
(iii)    a minimum amount in respect of such Extension (to be determined in the Borrower’s discretion and specified in the relevant Extension Offer, but in no event less than $25,000,000, unless another amount is agreed to by the Agent in its reasonable discretion) shall be satisfied (the “ Minimum Extension Condition ”); and
(iv)    no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of such Extension, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (k)  and (l) of Section  4.01 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to the making of a Loan being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of such Extension), and the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of such Extension and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.
(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section  2.14 and Section  10.01 will not apply to any payment of interest or fees in respect of any Extended Loans that have been extended pursuant to an Extension at a rate or rates different from those paid or payable in respect of Loans of any other Class, in each case as is set forth in the relevant Extension Offer made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section  2.17 with respect to such Extensions of Loans.
(e)    Any Lender who rejects any request for an Extension may be deemed a Non-Consenting Lender for purposes of Section  10.14 as a result of such rejection and may be replaced in accordance therewith.
(f)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “ Extension Amendments ”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to effect the provisions of this Section  2.17 , including to establish new Classes of Loans created pursuant to an Extension, on terms consistent with this Section  2.17 . All such Extension Amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, (i) the Borrower and the appropriate Subsidiaries shall (at their expense) amend (and the Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Loan Document that the Agent reasonably requests to be amended to reflect the then-latest Extended Maturity
 
54

Date) and to give effect to the provisions of this Section  2.17 and (ii) the Borrower and the appropriate Subsidiaries shall deliver board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Agent in connection therewith and, if requested by the Agent, a customary legal opinion of counsel.
(g)    Promptly following the consummation and effectiveness of any Extension, the Borrower will furnish to the Agent (who shall promptly furnish to each Lender) written notice setting forth the Extended Maturity Date and material economic terms of the Extension and the aggregate principal amount of such class of Loans and Commitments after giving effect to the Extension and attaching a copy of the fully executed Extension Amendment.
ARTICLE 3
T AXES , Y IELD P ROTECTION A ND I LLEGALITY
 Section 3.01.     Taxes.
(a)     Payments Free of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes . Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)     Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower . Without limiting the provisions of sub section  (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)     Indemnification by the Borrower . Without duplication of Section  3.01(a) , the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes in respect of payments under any Loan Document or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) that are imposed on or payable by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If the Borrower reasonably believes that there is an appropriate basis to pursue a refund of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax indemnified by the Borrower under this Section  3.01(c) , or for which any Obligor has paid additional amounts under Section  3.01 , the Agent or the Lender (as applicable) shall, upon the Borrower’s written request and at the Borrower’s expense, pursue such refund; provided that the Agent or any Lender shall not be obligated to pursue any such refund if the Agent or such Lender reasonably determines in good faith that it would be materially disadvantaged or prejudiced, or subject to any out-of-pocket unreimbursed cost or expense, by pursuing such refund. Any refund described in the preceding sentence that is received by the Agent or any Lender shall be payable to the Borrower to the extent provided in Section  3.01(f) .
 
55

(d)     Evidence of Payments . As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(e)     Status of Lenders .
(i)    Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Agent, whenever reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, (A) to determine whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) to determine, if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (C) to establish such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in an applicable jurisdiction. If any form, certification or other documentation provided by a Lender pursuant to this Section  3.01(e) (including any of the specific documentation described below) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing and shall promptly update or otherwise correct the affected documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing that such Lender is not legally eligible to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section  3.01(e)(ii)(A) , (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable good faith judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any out-of-pocket unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)    any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent (in such number of signed originals as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon request of the Borrower or the Agent) as will enable the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to U.S. federal backup withholding or information reporting requirements;
(B)    each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of signed originals as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent), duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
 
56

(2)    IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) claiming that specified payments (as applicable) under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (as applicable) constitute income that is effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States,
(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 881(c) of the Code (the “ Portfolio Interest Exemption ”), (x) a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 , F-2 , F-3 or F-4 , as applicable (a “ Tax Status Certificate ”), to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower, within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no interest to be received is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto), or
(4)    where such Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner ( e.g. , where such Lender has sold a participation), IRS Form W- 8IMY (or any successor thereto) and all required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the Portfolio Interest Exemption, a Tax Status Certificate of such beneficial owner(s); provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, the Tax Status Certificate from the beneficial owner(s) may be provided by the Foreign Lender on behalf of the beneficial owner(s));
(C)    any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of duly completed and executed originals as shall be requested by the recipient), at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent (1) to comply with the Borrower’s and/or the Agent’s obligations under FATCA, (2) to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and/or (3) to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents pursuant to FATCA. Solely for purposes of this clause  (D) , “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section  3.01(e) , no Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to provide.
(f)     Treatment of Certain Refunds . If the Agent or any Lender determines, in its good faith discretion, that it has received a refund (whether received in cash or applied as an offset against other Taxes due) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by an Obligor or with respect to which an Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
 
57

or additional amounts paid, by an Obligor under this Section  3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes), as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority (other than any penalties arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or the Lender)) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection  (f) , in no event will the Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this subsection  (f) the payment of which would place the relevant Lender or the Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender or the Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Agent, or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(g)     Survival . Each party’s obligations under this Section  3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(h)     Defined Terms . For purposes of this Section  3.01 , the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
 Section 3.02.     Illegality.
(a)    If any Lender reasonably and in good faith determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, after the Closing Date, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly when such circumstances cease to exist).
(b)    If a Lender reasonably and in good faith determines that it is unlawful for such Lender to maintain any Eurodollar Rate Loan after the Closing Date in the circumstances set forth in Section  3.02(a) , the Borrower shall, upon its receipt of written notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), convert such Eurodollar Rate Loans of that Lender then outstanding on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan and in the case of any conversion other than on the last day of such Interest Period thereof, pay amounts required by Section  3.04 .
(c)    If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans has been so terminated or suspended, the Borrower may elect, by giving notice to the Lender through the Agent, that all Loans which would otherwise be made or maintained by the Lender as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans.
 
58

(d)    Before giving any notice to the Agent under this Section  3.02 , the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its Eurodollar Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Lender.
 Section 3.03.     Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.
(a)    If any Lender reasonably and in good faith determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost including Taxes (other than (i) Excluded Taxes and (ii) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes that are covered by Section  3.01 ) to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after written demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs; provided that such Lender shall only be entitled to seek such additional amounts if such Lender is generally seeking the payment of similar additional amounts from similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities (as certified by such Lender in the certificate delivered under Section  3.06 ); provided , further , that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any such increases in capital for any period more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender delivers such demand; provided , further that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in the law under clause  (a)(i) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
(b)    If any Lender reasonably and in good faith shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, in each case after the Closing Date, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment or Loans under this Agreement, then, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified by the Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increase; provided that such Lender shall only be entitled to seek such additional amounts if such Lender is generally seeking the payment of similar additional amounts from similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities (as certified by such Lender in the certificate delivered under Section  3.06 ); provided , further , that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any such increases in capital for any period more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender delivers such demand.
 
59

 Section 3.04.     Funding Losses.
The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender for any reasonable loss (other than loss of profits and the Applicable Margin) or expense which such Lender has actually incurred:
(a)    if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Credit Extension of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Loan Notice, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice;
(b)    if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or
(c)    if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.
including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Eurodollar Rate Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, but excluding any administrative fee or other amount chargeable by such Lender for the calculation of such loss. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section  3.04 and under Section  3.03(a) , each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the Eurodollar Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan (but without giving effect to the proviso to the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”) by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan is in fact so funded.
 Section 3.05.     Inability to Determine Rates.
(a)    If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or that the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, which notice the Lenders agree to promptly give when such means for determining the Eurodollar Rate exist) revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any Conversion/Continuation Notice then submitted by it pursuant to Section  2.06 . If the Borrower does not revoke such Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Agent and each Lender shall take any reasonable actions available to them (including designation of different Lending Offices), consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions, that will avoid the need to take the steps described in this Section  3.05 , which will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent or such Lender, be materially disadvantageous to the Agent, such Lender or the Borrower, as compared to the steps described in this Section  3.05 , and (v) in the event that the Required Lenders shall make any determination of the type described in this Section  3.05 , they shall do so in a manner consistent with the then-prevailing market practice and in a manner consistent with each such Lender’s determinations with respect to loans to other similarly situated borrowers to whom it has extended credit.
 
60

 Section 3.06.     Certificates of Lenders.
Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article  3 shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Lender hereunder (including the certifications required in Sections  3.03(a) and (b) ) and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of demonstrable error. Such certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the methodology used in determining the amount payable to the Lender.
 Section 3.07.     Substitution of Lenders.
If the Borrower receives notice from any Lender of a claim for compensation under Section  3.01 or Section  3.03 or a claim pursuant to Section  3.02 , the Borrower may upon notice to such Lender and the Agent (i) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Loans (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) pursuant to Section  10.07(b) to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees identified by the Borrower or (ii) notwithstanding Section  2.14 , terminate the applicable Commitments of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided that each such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under the Loan Documents from the applicable assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s outstanding Loans; provided that if such Lender does not comply with this Section  3.07 within one Business Day after the Borrower’s request, compliance with this Section  3.07 shall not be required to effect such assignment.
 Section 3.08.     Successor LIBOR.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (including Section  10.01 hereof), if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), the Required Lenders notify the Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that the Required Lenders have determined that:
(i)    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, or
(ii)    the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “ Scheduled Unavailability Date ”), or
(iii)    syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt the then-prevailing convention for calculating a benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR for such syndicated loans,
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to the then-prevailing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated
 
61

syndicated credit facilities for calculating such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “ LIBOR Successor Rate ”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause  (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause  (y) ) in the amount specified therein.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.
Section 3.09.     Survival.
The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in Section  3.01 , Section  3.03 and Section  3.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other Obligations subject to the limitations set forth in such Sections.

100

meeting the qualifications set forth above with the consent of the Borrower; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as a successor Agent shall be appointed as provided for above in this Section  9.06 .

 Section 9.07.     Non-Reliance on the Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent- Related Person or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
 Section 9.08.     No Other Duties, Etc.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, joint bookrunners, syndication agents or documentation agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or a Lender hereunder.
 Section 9.09.     The Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Obligor, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under Sections 2.10 , 10.04 and 10.05 ) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
 
101

(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.10 , 10.04 and 10.05 .
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
 Section 9.10.     Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
The Lenders irrevocably authorize and instruct the Agent to:
(a)    release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) and the expiration or termination of all Commitments, (ii) that is transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of or to be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of (other than to the Borrower or a Guarantor) as part of or in connection with any transfer, sale or other disposal permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) in the case of any Lien on any Other Collateral, as and when the release thereof is provided for in the Security Documents; or (iv) subject to Section  10.01 , if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and
(b)    subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section  7.02(i) , and execute and deliver any intercreditor agreement necessary or desirable to permit the incurrence by the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries of secured indebtedness permitted to be incurred hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Extended Loans, Incremental Equivalent Debt, New Incremental Term Loan Facilities, Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt and Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt, and the Liens securing such Indebtedness), in each case with the priority permitted hereunder, and perform its obligations and duties and exercise its rights and remedies thereunder.
Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee pursuant to this Section  9.10 . In each case as specified in this Section  9.10 , upon the receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that such release or subordination described in (a) and (b) above what is permitted hereunder (on which the Agent may conclusively rely without any further inquiry) the Agent will (and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes and directs the Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Obligor such documents or take any action as such Obligor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Secured Guarantee, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section  9.10 .
 
102

 Section 9.11.     Indemnification of Agent-Related Persons.
Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the total Loans held on the date on which indemnification is sought, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided, further , that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section  9.11 . Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent-Related Person upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by such Agent-Related Person in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent-Related Person is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section  9.11 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Agent or any Agent-Related Person.
 Section 9.12.     Withholding Tax.
To the extent required by any applicable law, the Agent shall withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties, additions to Tax or interest thereon, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agent under this Article 9 . The agreements in this Article 9 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender.

The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and each Lender (with respect to its own interests in the Term Loan Facility only) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(e)     Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section  10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Except to the extent limited by Section  10.07(f) , the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections  3.01 , 3.03 and 3.04 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections (including Section  3.01(e) and Section  3.01(f) ) and Section  3.07 , as if such Participant were a Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section  10.07(b) . To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section  10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section  2.14 as though it were a Lender.
 
112

Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section  10.07(e) shall, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of each participant’s participation interest with respect to the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (each, a “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(f)     Limitations upon Participant Rights . A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section  3.01 or 3.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
(g)     Certain Pledges . Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h)     Electronic Execution of Assignments . The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 SECTION 9. R EGULATORY M ATTERS .
(a)    In view of the position of the Limited Recourse Pledgor, the Agent and other Secured Parties in relation to the Collateral (including the possession from time to time of information with respect to the Collateral that may constitute material non-public information within the meaning of applicable Securities Laws (as defined below)), or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “ Securities Laws ”) with respect to any disposition of the Collateral permitted under the Credit Agreement or any exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral by the Agent. Each of the Limited Recourse Pledgor, the Agent and the other Secured Parties understand and acknowledge that compliance with the Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Agent if the Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Collateral in connection with exercises remedies hereunder, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state or provincial securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. The Limited Recourse Pledgor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Agent may, with respect to any sale of the
 
11

Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Limited Recourse Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion but subject to Section 9(b) (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement or prospectus for the purpose of registering or qualifying such Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. The Limited Recourse Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral at a price that the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 9(a) will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Agent sells.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, solely to the extent required by any Requirement of Law or one or more Governmental Authorities or with respect to any Insurance Subsidiary, any supervisory agency, state insurance department other state, Federal or foreign insurance regulatory body (each, a “ Regulatory Authority ”), the ownership of any Pledged MIC Shares (the “ Affected Pledged Equity ”) and voting rights in such Affected Pledged Equity, shall remain with the Limited Recourse Pledgor even if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless (i) the applicable Regulatory Authority shall have given its prior consent (solely to the extent such consent is required by law) to the change in ownership of such Affected Pledged Equity by transfer to an acquirer whether by purchase at a public or private sale of such Affected Pledged Equity or by merger or other transfer effecting a change in ownership in such Affected Pledged Equity, or to the exercise of such rights to effect a change in ownership of such Affected Pledged Equity by the Agent, a receiver, trustee, conservator or other agent or designee duly appointed in accordance with applicable law or (ii) the transferee of such Affected Pledged Equity is approved (solely to the extent such approval is required by law) as the owner of such Affected Pledged Equity pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the applicable Regulatory Authority. To enforce the provisions of this subsection, the Agent is empowered to request the appointment of a receiver from any court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, such receiver shall be instructed to seek from the applicable Regulatory Authorities a transfer of any such Affected Pledged Equity for the purpose of seeking a purchaser or other transferee to whom it will ultimately be transferred. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Agent’s request, the Limited Recourse Pledgor shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in obtaining the consent or approval of any applicable Regulatory Authorities, if required, for any action or transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the preparation, execution and filing with such Regulatory Authority of the assignor’s or transferor’s portion of any application for consent or approval to the transfer of the Affected Pledged Equity necessary or appropriate under the applicable Regulatory Authority’s rules and regulations for approval of the transfer or assignment of any portion of the Affected Pledged Equity.
