Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article VII (including, without limitation, the Financial Covenants)), leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with that reflected in the Audited Financial Statements for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto, unless the parties hereto shall enter into a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes, as provided for above.

(c)               Calculations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the above, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of determining compliance by the Loan Parties with any financial covenant, ratio, or test described herein (including, without limitation, the Total Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio, and minimum Liquidity, and in calculating Consolidated Total Assets and Consolidated Net Income, and, in each case, any financial calculations or components required to be made or included therein), all such compliance calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis by the Borrower acting reasonably and in good faith.

(d)               FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470–20. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, for purposes of determining: (i) compliance with any covenant (including, without limitation, the computation of any applicable Financial Covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at one hundred percent (100.0%) of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470–20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded; and (ii) any applicable calculations set forth in this Agreement, the principal amount of Permitted Convertible / Exchangeable Indebtedness shall be the outstanding principal (or notional) amount thereof, valued at par.

1.04           Rounding.

Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one (1) place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

1.05           Times of Day.

Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

1.06           Letter of Credit Amounts.

Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit, at any time, shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, that, with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one (1) or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

ARTICLE II

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01           Commitments.

(a)               Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this clause (a), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this clause (a). Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as further provided herein.

(b)               Term A Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term A Lender severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (the “Term A Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars on the Effectiveness Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term A Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid on the Term A Loan may not be reborrowed. The Term A Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans or a combination thereof, as further provided herein.

(c)               Delayed Draw Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (each, a “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars in up to two (2) Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowings, each on any Business Day during the Delayed Draw Term Loan Availability Period, and in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid on the Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Each Delayed Draw Term Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as further provided herein.

(d)               Borrower Request. The Borrower may, from time to time during the Incremental Funds Availability Period, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, elect to increase the existing Revolving Commitments and/or institute an Add-On Term Loan by an amount not in excess of Seven-Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($750,000,000) in the aggregate as follows:

(i)              Increase in Revolving Commitments. The Borrower may, from time to time solely during the Incremental Funds Availability Period, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request to increase the Revolving Commitments. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the increased Revolving Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided, that, any existing Lender approached to provide all, or a portion, of the increased Revolving Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased Revolving Commitment, and the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer all, or any portion, of the increased Revolving Commitments to any existing Lender.

(A)             Conditions. The increased Revolving Commitments shall become effective as of such Increase Effective Date; provided, that:

(I)                        each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 shall be satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof;

(II)                        any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) and in integral multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof;

(III)                        no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings made on the Increase Effective Date, if any;

(IV)                        the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction; and

(V)                        any Person providing any portion of the increased Revolving Commitments that is not an existing Lender must be: (1) an Eligible Assignee; and (2) reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.

(B)              Terms of New Revolving Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Revolving Loans made pursuant to increased Revolving Commitments shall be identical to the Revolving Loans. The increased Revolving Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and each Lender making such increased Revolving Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. Any such Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of this clause (d)(i). In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Revolving Loans made pursuant to increased Revolving Commitments made pursuant to this Agreement.

(C)              Adjustment of Revolving Loans. Each of the Revolving Lenders having a Revolving Commitment prior to such Increase Effective Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders”) shall assign to any Revolving Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Commitment on the Increase Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans outstanding on such Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such increased Revolving Commitments.

(D)             Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Revolving Commitments established pursuant to this clause (d)(i), if any, shall constitute Revolving Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guaranty.

(ii)                        Institution of Add-On Term Loan. The Borrower may, solely at all times during the Incremental Funds Availability Period, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, institute one (1) or more additional term loans (each, an “Add-On Term Loan”). Each such notice shall specify the date (the “Add-On Term Loan Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Add-On Term Loan shall be advanced, which date shall be not less than five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided, that, any existing Lender approached to provide all, or a portion, of the Add-On Term Loan may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Add-On Term Loan, and the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer all, or any portion, of such Add-On Term Loan to any existing Lender.

(A)             Conditions. The institution of the Add-On Term Loan shall be subject to the following conditions:

(I)                   each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 shall be satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof;

(II)                    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the Add-On Term Loan made on the Add-On Term Loan Effective Date, if any;

(III)                   the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction;

(IV)                   any Person providing any portion of the Add-On Term Loan that is not an existing Lender must be an Eligible Assignee;

(V)                    any institution of the Add-On Term Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), and in integral multiples of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in excess thereof;

(VI)                   other than with respect to any Add-On Term Loan the proceeds of which shall be used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or any other Investment permitted under Section 8.04, a Responsible Officer of the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Pro Forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating that the Borrower would be in compliance with all applicable Financial Covenants in effect at such time on a Pro Forma Basis, recomputed as of the last day of the last ended Test Period; and

(VII)                   the Applicable Rate, fees and scheduled principal amortization payments under each Add-On Term Loan shall be as set forth in the Add-On Term Loan Lender Joinder Agreement.

(B)              Terms of the Add-On Term Loan. As contemplated above, some of the terms and provisions of Add-On Term Loan shall be effected by the applicable Add-On Term Loan Lender Joinder Agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making an Add-On Term Loan, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. Any such Add-On Term Loan Lender Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of this clause (d)(ii). In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to the Add-On Term Loans.

(C)              Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Add-On Term Loans made pursuant to this clause (d)(ii) shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guaranty.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or in Section 5.02(a), if the proceeds of any Add-On Term Loan are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition made pursuant to an acquisition agreement, binding on the Borrower or its Subsidiary, entered into in advance of the consummation thereof (an “Acquisition Agreement”), and the Borrower has obtained, on or prior to the closing thereof, binding commitments of Lenders to fund such Add-On Term Loan (“Acquisition Financing Commitments”), then the conditions to the funding and incurrence of any such Add-On Term Loan shall be limited as follows: (A) the condition set forth in Section 5.02(a) shall apply only with respect to Specified Representations; (B) the representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement made by, or with respect to, the target that are material to the interests of the Lenders providing such Add-On Term Loan shall be true and correct in all material respects, but only to the extent that the Borrower or applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or not consummate such Permitted Acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in such Acquisition Agreement; and (C) the reference to “no Default” in Section 5.02(b) shall mean (I) the absence of a Default at the date the applicable Acquisition Agreement is executed and delivered, and (II) the absence of a Specified Event of Default at the date the applicable Permitted Acquisition is consummated. For purposes of clarity, increases in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall not be subject, at any time, to the Incremental Funds Certain Provisions. Nothing in the foregoing constitutes a waiver of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, or of any rights or remedies of Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under any provision of the Loan Documents. The provisions of this paragraph are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Incremental Funds Certain Provision”.

For purposes of determining compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with any Financial Covenants or other ratio requirement under this Agreement, or whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in each case, in connection with the consummation of an Acquisition using proceeds from an Add-On Term Loan that qualifies to be subject to the Incremental Funds Certain Provision, the date of determination shall, at the option of the Borrower, be the date of execution of such Acquisition Agreement, and such determination shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis, and, for the avoidance of doubt, if any such Financial Covenant or other ratio requirement is subsequently breached as a result of fluctuations in the ratio that is subject of such Financial Covenant or other ratio requirement (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the EBITDA of the target), at or prior to the consummation of such Acquisition (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith), such Financial Covenant or other ratio requirement will not be deemed to have been breached as a result of such fluctuations solely for the purpose of determining whether such Acquisition (and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith) constitutes a Permitted Acquisition; provided, that, (i) if the Borrower elects to have such determination occur at the time of entry into the applicable Acquisition Agreement (and not at the time of consummation of the Acquisition), the Add-On Term Loan to be incurred shall be deemed incurred at the time of such election (unless the applicable Acquisition Agreement is terminated without actually consummating the applicable Permitted Acquisition (in which case, such Acquisition and related Add-On Term Loan will not be treated as having occurred)) and outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating compliance, on a Pro Forma Basis, with any applicable ratio requirement in this Agreement (even if unrelated to determining whether such Acquisition is a Permitted Acquisition) (but not, for purposes of clarity, in calculating compliance with the Financial Covenants), and (ii) EBITDA of the target shall be disregarded for all purposes under this Agreement, other than determining whether such Acquisition is a Permitted Acquisition until the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition.

2.02           Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a)               Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.: (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans; and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this clause (a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice. Each Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), or a whole multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c) and Section 2.04(c), each Borrowing of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or a whole multiple of Five-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice and each telephonic notice shall specify: (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans; (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued; (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted; and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of a Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b)               Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans as described in the preceding paragraph. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds, or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, that, if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

(c)               Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Requisite Lenders, and the Requisite Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans.

(d)               The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e)               After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to all Loans.

(f)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue, extend or roll over all, or the portion, of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification, or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Existing Credit Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

2.03           Letters of Credit.

(a)               The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i)               Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (I) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effectiveness Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with clause (b) below, and (II) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit, and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided, that, after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (1) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (2) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (3) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. Furthermore, each Revolving Lender acknowledges and confirms that it has a participation interest in the liability of each applicable L/C Issuer under the Existing Letters of Credit in a percentage equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of the Existing Letters of Credit, and each Revolving Lender’s obligations in connection therewith, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement.

(ii)            No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)             subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Requisite Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

(B)              the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date.

(iii)           No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)             any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effectiveness Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effectiveness Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B)              the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one (1) or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C)              except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than Five-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000);

(D)             such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or

(E)              any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(iv)            No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v)            No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof; or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi)           Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities: (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X included each L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions; and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to each L/C Issuer.

(b)               Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i)           Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer: (I) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (II) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (III) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (IV) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to each L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(ii)             Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the applicable L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one (1) or more applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case, in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii)            If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided, that, any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve (12) month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit, at any time, to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, that, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii), Section 2.03(a)(iii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Requisite Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension, or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one (1) or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and, in each case, directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv)            Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. In addition, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the end of each calendar month, each L/C Issuer shall provide an activity report to the Administrative Agent listing the activity with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer and including the balance of Letters of Credit outstanding as of the date of such report.

(c)               Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i)              Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit within the period stipulated by the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. After such examination, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), or if the Borrower receives notice of such drawing after 11:00 a.m. on the Honor Date, not later than 10:00 a.m. on the first (1^st) Business Day following the Honor Date (each such date, a “Reimbursement Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Reimbursement Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided, that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. The Borrower shall pay the applicable L/C Issuer interest on any Unreimbursed Amount from the date of any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit, to the Reimbursement Date at the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans. Any notice given by any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that, the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii)            Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.

(iii)            With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv)           Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this clause (c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

(v)            Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this clause (c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person, for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, that, each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this clause (c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi)            If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this clause (c) by the time specified in clause (c)(ii) above, then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)               Repayment of Participations.

(i)              At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii)             If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)               Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i)              any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(ii)             the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii)           any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv)            waiver by such L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for such L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by such L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;

(v)             honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(vi)            any payment made by such L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

(vii)           any payment by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(viii)          any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f)                Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Requisite Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, that, this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties, nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (e)(i) through (e)(viii) of Section 2.03; provided, that, anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against any L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit unless such L/C Issuer is prevented or prohibited from so paying as a result of any order or directive of any court or other Governmental Authority. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Each L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(g)               Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no L/C Issuer shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and no L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of the applicable L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the applicable L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

(h)               Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance, subject to Section 2.15, with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be: (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears; and (ii) due and payable on the first (1^st) Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first (1^st) such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (A) (I) any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), or (II)  an Event of Default under Section 9.01(i) shall be continuing, or (B) if any amount (other than principal of any Loan) is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (and, with respect to this clause (h)(B) only, the Requisite Revolving Lenders have so requested), in each case, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(i)                 Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in (A) (I) the Bank of America Fee Letter, with respect to Bank of America, in its capacity as an L/C Issuer, (II) the Mizuho Fee Letter, with respect to Mizuho Bank, Ltd., in its capacity as an L/C Issuer, and (III) the Citibank Fee Letter, with respect to Citibank, in its capacity as an L/C Issuer, and (B) as specified in written agreements between the Borrower and the applicable L/C Issuer, with respect to any L/C Issuer other than Bank of America, in its capacity as L/C Issuer, computed on the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit) and on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first (1^st) payment), commencing with the first (1^st) such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(j)                 Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(k)               Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(l)                 Replacement of the L/C Issuer. Any L/C Issuer may be replaced, at any time, by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced L/C Issuer and the successor L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an L/C Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced L/C Issuer pursuant to clauses (h) and (i) above. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) any successor L/C Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous L/C Issuers, or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an L/C Issuer hereunder, the replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

2.04           Swing Line Loans.

(a)               Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, shall make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided, that, (i) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (A) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (ii) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (iii) no Swing Line Lender shall be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from each Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b)               Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the applicable Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the applicable Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum principal amount of Five-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and integral multiples of One-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the applicable Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Promptly after receipt by the applicable Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, such Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, such Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the applicable Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing of Swing Line Loans (A) directing such Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first (1^st) proviso to the first (1^st) sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one (1) or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

(c)               Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i)              Each Swing Line Lender, at any time in its sole discretion, may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably requests and authorizes each Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided, that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. The applicable Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Swing Line Lender. In addition, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the end of each calendar month, each Swing Line Lender shall provide a monthly activity report to the Administrative Agent listing the activity with respect to the Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Lender and including the balance of Swing Line Loans outstanding as of the date of such report.

(ii)             If, for any reason, any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the applicable Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by such Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii)           If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this clause (c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), such Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of any Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c)(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)                      Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this clause (c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against any Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person, for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, that, each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this clause (c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No such purchase or funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d)               Repayment of Participations.

(i)                        At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if any Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, such Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by such Swing Line Lender.

(ii)                       If any payment received by any Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by such Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to such Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of any Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)               Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Each Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender.

(f)                Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the applicable Swing Line Lender.

2.05             Prepayments.

(a)               Voluntary Prepayments.

(i)                        Revolving Loans, Term A Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loans and Add-On Term Loans. The Borrower may, upon delivery of a Notice of Prepayment and/or Reduction / Termination of Commitments to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans, the Term A Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loans and/or any Add-On Term Loan (in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to Section 3.05), provided, that: (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (I) at least three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (II) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any such prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), or in a whole multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or in a whole multiple of Five-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and whether the Loans to be prepaid are the Revolving Loans, the Term A Loan, any Delayed Draw Term Loan and/or any Add-On Term Loan. Subject to payment of breakage costs (if any) in accordance with Section 3.05, any such notice delivered by the Borrower may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case, such notice may be revoked or its effectiveness deferred by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment.

Any such prepayment shall be made within five (5) Business Days following: (A) with respect to each such acquisition that is not consummated on or prior to the applicable Outside Date (but in respect of which the applicable purchase agreement has not previously been terminated), the applicable Outside Date; (B) with respect to each such acquisition in respect of which the applicable purchase agreement has been terminated in accordance with the terms thereof or by mutual agreement of the parties thereto on or prior to the applicable Outside Date, the date of such termination; (C) with respect to each such acquisition that is consummated on or prior to the applicable Outside Date for Total Cash Consideration that is less than the applicable Threshold Amount and for which the difference between the applicable Threshold Amount minus the sum of the Total Cash Consideration and the Transaction Expenses for such acquisition was greater than $50,000,000 (when taken together with the difference between the applicable Threshold Amount minus the sum of the Total Cash Consideration and the Transaction Expenses for the other such acquisition, if such other acquisition was consummated first), the date of the consummation of an acquisition as a result of which such $50,000,000 threshold is first surpassed or, if such $50,000,000 threshold has already been surpassed as a result of the consummation of the other such acquisition for less than the applicable Threshold Amount (with the difference between the applicable Threshold Amount minus the sum of the Total Cash Consideration and the Transaction Expenses for such other acquisition being greater than $50,000,000), then the date of consummation of such acquisition; and (D) with respect to any Deferred Amounts that are subsequently determined by the Borrower in good faith not to be required to be paid in connection with the Asco Acquisition or the Bombardier Acquisition and that are required to be applied to prepay the Obligations, the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Borrower reasonably first determines in good faith that such amount is not payable in connection with the applicable acquisition. For purposes of clarity, (A) any such prepayment resulting from the consummation of either the Asco Acquisition or the Bombardier Acquisition for Total Cash Consideration that is less than the applicable Threshold Amount, with the difference between the applicable Threshold Amount minus the sum of the Total Cash Consideration and the Transaction Expenses for such acquisition being greater than $50,000,000 (when taken together with the difference between the applicable Threshold Amount minus the sum of the Total Cash Consideration and the Transaction Expenses for the other such acquisition, if such other acquisition was consummated first), shall be based on seventy-five percent (75.0%) of such difference, and not solely the amount of such difference in excess of $50,000,000; (B) if both the Asco Acquisition and the Bombardier Acquisition are consummated for less than their applicable Threshold Amounts and, when taken together, the difference between the Threshold Amounts (for both acquisitions, taken together) minus the sum of the Total Cash Consideration and the Transaction Expenses (in each case, for both acquisitions, taken together) is greater than $50,000,000, then the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be based on seventy-five percent (75.0%) of such difference, and not solely the amount of such difference in excess of $50,000,000; and (C) in the event that (I) the applicable purchase agreement in respect of one (1) of such acquisitions is terminated in accordance with the terms thereof or by mutual agreement of the parties thereto on or prior to the applicable Outside Date, and (II) the other such acquisition is consummated on or prior to the applicable Outside Date for Total Cash Consideration that is less than the applicable Threshold Amount, then the $50,000,000 threshold shall apply to the other such acquisition, and, for purposes of clarity, a mandatory prepayment shall only be required with respect to such acquisition if the difference between the applicable Threshold Amount minus the sum of the Total Cash Consideration and the Transaction Expenses for such acquisition is greater than $50,000,000.

(vi)                        Equity Issuances. If, solely at all times from, and including, the Sixth Amendment Effectiveness Date to, but excluding, the Collateral and Subsidiary Guaranty Release Date, any Loan Party sells or issues any of its Equity Interests (whether common, preferred or otherwise, but excluding (A) any Excluded Equity and (B) any Equity Interests sold or issued to another Loan Party), the Loan Parties shall, within five (5) Business Days after the actual receipt of the Net Proceeds therefrom, prepay (or Cash Collateralize, as applicable) the outstanding portion of each Term Loan and other Obligations in the manner set forth in clause (b)(vii) below, in each case, in an aggregate amount equal to seventy-five percent (75.0%) of the Net Proceeds of such Equity Issuance.

(vii)                        (v) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to clause (b)(i) above shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, and, after all Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans have been repaid, to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations (without a corresponding permanent reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments). All amounts required to be paid pursuant to clauses (b)(ii) through (b)(ivvi) above shall be applied:

(A)             first, pro rata to the Term Loans (and to the principal installments thereof on a pro rata basis (including the final installment of each Term Loan)); and

(B)              second, ratably to the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, and, after all Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans have been repaid, to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations (without a corresponding permanent reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments).

AllSubject to Section 3 of the Sixth Amendment solely with respect to those Lenders party thereto, all prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans under this clause (b) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid to the date of prepayment.

(c)               Liquidity Bridge Facility Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.05 or in any Loan Document, no mandatory prepayments shall be required to be made by any Loan Party pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii) until such time as: (i) all Term Loans (as defined in the Liquidity Bridge Credit Agreement) under the Liquidity Bridge Credit Agreement have been paid in full; and (ii) all Commitments (as defined in the Liquidity Bridge Credit Agreement) under the Liquidity Bridge Credit Agreement have expired or terminated.
