Organization

Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (“Red Rock,” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in 2015 to own an indirect equity interest in and manage Station Casinos LLC (“Station LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company. Station LLC is a gaming, development and management company established in 1976 that owns and operates six major gaming and entertainment facilities and ten smaller casino properties (three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company commenced construction of Durango Casino & Resort (“Durango”) in the southwest Las Vegas valley. Durango is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Company owns all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and has an indirect equity interest in Station LLC through its ownership of limited liability interests in Station Holdco LLC (“Station Holdco,” and such interests, “LLC Units”), which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. At June 30, 2023, the Company held 58% of the economic interests and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and is designated as the sole managing member of both Station Holdco and Station LLC. The Company controls and operates all of the business and affairs of Station Holdco and Station LLC, and conducts all of its operations through these entities.

In June 2022, the Company permanently closed its Texas Station, Fiesta Henderson and Fiesta Rancho properties, which had been closed since March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the Company permanently closed Wild Wild West in September 2022.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made, and such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The interim results reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

Station Holdco and Station LLC are variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and Station Holdco, and presents the interest in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company has investments in three 50% owned smaller casino properties which are joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2020 and December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) and ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, respectively. The ASUs were intended to ease the potential accounting and financial reporting burden of reference rate reform, including the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). ASU 2020-04 provides an optional expedient and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2022-06 extended the sunset date of Topic 848 to December 31, 2024 from December 31, 2022. The interest rates associated with the Company’s previous borrowings under its Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6) were tied to LIBOR. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 upon the amendment of its Credit Facility on June 6, 2023, and effective July 1, 2023, the LIBOR rate will be replaced with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) (see Note 6). The Company elected to apply the optional expedient for contract modifications to the Credit Facility amendment and accordingly, will treat the interest rate replacement as a non-substantial modification. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

As discussed in Note 1, Red Rock holds a controlling interest in and consolidates the financial position and results of operations of Station LLC and its subsidiaries and Station Holdco. The interests in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock are presented within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The ownership of the LLC Units is summarized as follows:

			June 30, 2023												December 31, 2022
			Units						Ownership %						Units						Ownership %
Red Rock			62,518,531						57.6		%				62,113,911						57.5		%
Noncontrolling interest holders			45,985,804						42.4		%				45,985,804						42.5		%
Total			108,504,335						100.0		%				108,099,715						100.0		%

The Company uses monthly weighted-average LLC Unit ownership to calculate the pretax income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss of Station Holdco attributable to Red Rock and the noncontrolling interest holders. Station Holdco equity attributable to Red Rock and the noncontrolling interest holders is rebalanced, as needed, to reflect LLC Unit ownership at period end. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, rebalancing was primarily due to repurchases of Class A common stock.

The Company has development and management agreements with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians (the “Mono”), a federally recognized Native American tribe located near Fresno, California, which were originally entered into in 2003. In August 2014, the Mono and the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) and the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement. The Mono has submitted a proposed Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement and a proposed Third Amended and Restated Development Agreement to the National Indian Gaming Commission (“NIGC”). Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company has assisted the Mono in developing a gaming and entertainment facility (the “North Fork Project”) to be located in Madera County, California and, pursuant to the proposed management and development agreements, the Company proposes to continue to assist the Mono in developing and to assist the Mono in operating the North Fork Project. The Company purchased a 305-acre parcel of land adjacent to Highway 99 north of the city of Madera (the “North Fork Site”), which was taken into trust for the benefit of the Mono by the Department of the Interior (“DOI”) in February 2013.

As currently contemplated, the North Fork Project is expected to include approximately 2,000 Class III slot machines, approximately 40 table games and several restaurants, and future development costs of the project are expected to be between $375 million and $425 million. The following table summarizes the Company’s evaluation at June 30, 2023 of each of the critical milestones that it has identified as necessary to complete the North Fork Project. As of June 30, 2023, each of these critical milestones has substantially been resolved, except for approval of the Management Agreement by the Chair of the NIGC.

---

The following table summarizes the Company’s evaluation at June 30, 2023 of each of the critical milestones necessary to complete the North Fork Project.

Federally recognized as an Indian tribe by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”)			Yes
Date of recognition			Federal recognition was terminated in 1966 and restored in 1983.
Tribe has possession of or access to usable land upon which the project is to be built			The DOI accepted approximately 305 acres of land for the project into trust for the benefit of the Mono in February 2013.
Status of obtaining regulatory and governmental approvals:
Tribal-state compact			A compact was negotiated and signed by the Governor of California and the Mono in August 2012. The California State Assembly and Senate passed Assembly Bill 277 (“AB 277”) which ratified the Compact in May 2013 and June 2013, respectively. Opponents of the North Fork Project qualified a referendum, “Proposition 48,” for a state-wide ballot challenging the legislature’s ratification of the Compact. In November 2014, Proposition 48 failed. The State took the position that the failure of Proposition 48 nullified the ratification of the Compact and, therefore, the Compact did not take effect under California law. In March 2015, the Mono filed suit against the State to obtain a compact with the State or procedures from the Secretary of the Interior under which Class III gaming may be conducted on the North Fork Site. In July 2016, the DOI issued Secretarial procedures (the “Secretarial Procedures”) pursuant to which the Mono may conduct Class III gaming on the North Fork Site.
Approval of gaming compact by DOI			The Compact was submitted to the DOI in July 2013. In October 2013, notice of the Compact taking effect was published in the Federal Register. The Secretarial Procedures supersede and replace the Compact.
Record of decision regarding environmental impact published by BIA			In November 2012, the record of decision for the Environmental Impact Statement for the North Fork Project was issued by the BIA. In December 2012, the Notice of Intent to take land into trust was published in the Federal Register.
BIA accepting usable land into trust on behalf of the tribe			The North Fork Site was accepted into trust in February 2013.
Approval of management agreement by NIGC			In December 2015, the Mono submitted a Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement, and certain related documents, to the NIGC. In July 2016, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement. In March 2018, the Mono submitted the Management Agreement and certain related documents to the NIGC. In June 2018, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Management Agreement. In April 2021, the Mono received an issues letter from the NIGC identifying issues to be addressed prior to approval of the Management Agreement. In September 2022, the Mono received an additional issues letter from the NIGC identifying remaining issues to be addressed prior to approval of the Management Agreement. Approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC is expected to occur following the Mono’s response to the most recent issues letter. The Company believes the Management Agreement will be approved because the terms and conditions thereof are consistent with the provisions of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (“IGRA”).
Gaming licenses:
Type			The North Fork Project will include the operation of Class II and Class III gaming, which are allowed pursuant to the terms of the Secretarial Procedures and IGRA, following approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC.
Number of gaming devices allowed			The Secretarial Procedures allow for the operation of a maximum of 2,000 Class III slot machines at the facility during the first two years of operation and thereafter up to 2,500 Class III slot machines. There is no limit on the number of Class II gaming devices that the Mono can offer.
Agreements with local authorities			The Mono has entered into memoranda of understanding with the City of Madera, the County of Madera and the Madera Irrigation District under which the Mono agreed to pay one-time and recurring mitigation contributions, subject to certain contingencies. The memoranda of understanding have all been amended to restructure the timing of certain payments due to delays in the development of the North Fork Project.

In addition to the critical milestones, there is a remaining unresolved legal matter related to the North Fork Project.

In March 2016, Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians (“Picayune”) filed a complaint for declaratory relief and petition for writ of mandate in California Superior Court for the County of Madera against Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr., alleging that the referendum that invalidated the Compact also invalidated Governor Brown’s concurrence with the Secretary of the Interior’s determination that gaming on the North Fork Site would be in the best interest of the Mono and not detrimental to the surrounding community. The complaint seeks to vacate and set aside the Governor’s concurrence and was stayed from December 2016 to September 2021, when the Supreme Court of California denied the Mono’s and the State of California’s petition for review in Stand Up for California! v. Brown. As a result of the denial, litigation of this matter has resumed and a first amended complaint was filed by Picayune in December 2022. Each of the State of California and the Mono filed demurrers challenging the first amended complaint; in July 2023, the State of California’s demurrer was granted and the Mono’s demurrer was denied. As a result, the Mono will answer the first amended complaint.

Under the terms of the Development Agreement, the Company has agreed to arrange the financing for the ongoing development costs and construction of the facility, and has contributed significant financial support to the North Fork Project. Through June 30, 2023, the Company has paid approximately $59.0 million of reimbursable advances to the Mono, primarily to complete the environmental impact study, purchase the North Fork Site and pay the costs of litigation. The repayment of the advances is expected to come from the proceeds of the North Fork Project’s financing, from cash flows from the North Fork Project’s operations, or from a combination of both. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, accrued interest on the advances will not be recognized in income until the carrying amount of the advances has been recovered. The carrying amount of the reimbursable advances was reduced by $15.1 million to fair value upon the Company’s adoption of fresh-start reporting in 2011. At June 30, 2023, the carrying amount of the advances was $43.9 million.

In addition to the reimbursable advances, the Company expects to receive a development fee of 4% of the costs of construction for its development services, which will be paid upon the commencement of gaming operations at the facility. The proposed management agreement provides for the Company to receive a management fee of 30% of the North Fork Project’s net income. The repayment of all or a portion of the reimbursable advances is anticipated to be subordinated to the Mono’s debt service obligations under the North Fork Project’s financing. The proposed management agreement and the proposed development agreement have a term of seven years from the opening of the North Fork Project. The proposed management agreement includes termination provisions whereby either party may terminate the agreement for cause, and may also be terminated at any time upon agreement of the parties. There is no provision in the proposed management agreement allowing the tribe to buy-out the agreement prior to its expiration. The proposed management agreement provides that the Company will train the Mono tribal members such that they may assume responsibility for managing the North Fork Project upon the expiration of the agreement.

The Company expects that, upon termination or expiration of the proposed development agreement, the Mono will continue to be obligated to repay any unpaid principal and interest on the advances from the Company. Amounts due to the Company under the Development Agreement and Management Agreement are secured by, and amounts due to the Company under the proposed management agreement are intended to be secured by, substantially all of the assets of the North Fork Project except the North Fork Site. In addition, the Development Agreement contains, and the proposed development and management agreements are anticipated to contain, waivers of the Mono’s sovereign immunity from suit for the purpose of enforcing the agreements or permitting or compelling arbitration and other remedies.

The timing of both the North Fork Project and of the repayment of the reimbursable advances is difficult to predict and is contingent on the achievement of the critical milestones, the financing of the North Fork Project, and the cash flows from the North Fork Project. The Company currently estimates that construction of the North Fork Project may begin in the next six months and estimates that the North Fork Project would be completed and opened for business approximately 15 to 18 months after construction begins. The Company expects to assist the Mono in obtaining financing for the North Fork Project once all necessary critical milestones have been achieved and prior to commencement of construction.

The Company has evaluated the likelihood that the North Fork Project will be successfully completed and opened, and has concluded that the likelihood of successful completion is in the range of 75% to 85% at June 30, 2023. The Company’s evaluation is based on its consideration of all available positive and negative evidence about the status of the North Fork Project, including, but not limited to, the status of required regulatory approvals, as well as the progress being made toward the achievement of any remaining critical milestones, the arrangement of financing for the North Fork Project and the status of any remaining litigation and contingencies. There can be no assurance that all the necessary governmental and regulatory approvals will be obtained, that financing will be obtained, that the financing and/or the cash flows from the North Fork Project will be sufficient to repay the advances, that the North Fork Project will be successfully completed or that future events and

Credit Facility

Station LLC’s credit facility consists of the Term Loan B Facility, the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (collectively, the “Credit Facility”). Prior to the amendment of the Credit Facility described below, the Term Loan B

---

Facility bore interest at a rate per annum, at Station LLC’s option, equal to either LIBOR plus 2.25% or base rate plus 1.25%, and the Term Loan A Facility and Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at a rate per annum, at Station LLC’s option, equal to either LIBOR plus an amount ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% or base rate plus an amount ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%, depending on Station LLC’s consolidated total leverage ratio. The Credit Facility contains a number of customary covenants, including requirements that Station LLC maintain throughout the term of the Credit Facility and measured as of the end of each quarter, an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 and a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, with step-downs over the term of the Credit Facility, ranging from 5.50 to 1.00 at June 30, 2023 to 5.25 to 1.00 at December 31, 2023 and thereafter. A breach of the financial ratio covenants shall only become an event of default under the Term Loan B Facility if the lenders within the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility take certain affirmative actions after the occurrence of a default of such financial ratio covenants. Management believes the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at June 30, 2023.

On June 6, 2023 the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement for its Credit Facility to replace customary LIBOR language, including, but not limited to, the use of rates based on Term SOFR (“SOFR”). Effective July 1, 2023, the Term Loan B Facility bears interest at a rate per annum, at Station LLC’s option, equal to either SOFR plus 2.25% or base rate plus 1.25% and the Term Loan A Facility and Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum, at Station LLC’s option, equal to either SOFR plus an amount ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% or base rate plus an amount ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%, depending on Station LLC’s consolidated total leverage ratio. No other material terms of the Credit Facility were amended.

Revolving Credit Facility

At June 30, 2023, Station LLC’s borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to continued compliance with the terms of the Credit Facility, was $613.0 million, which was net of $384.5 million in outstanding borrowings and $33.5 million in outstanding letters of credit and similar obligations.

Fair Value of Long-term Debt

The estimated fair value of Station LLC’s long-term debt compared with its carrying amount is presented below (amounts in millions):

			June 30, 2023						December 31, 2022
Aggregate fair value			$	3,077					$	2,796
Aggregate carrying amount			3,210						2,985

The estimated fair value of Station LLC’s long-term debt is based on quoted market prices from various banks for similar instruments, which is considered a Level 2 input under the fair value measurement hierarchy.

_______________________________________________________________

(a)Stock options exercised included 597,078 options that were not converted into shares due to net share settlements to cover the aggregate exercise price and employee withholding taxes.

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $4.8 million and $10.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $4.6 million and $8.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. At June 30, 2023, unrecognized share-based compensation cost was $58.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years.

Red Rock is a corporation and pays corporate federal, state and local taxes on its income, primarily pass-through income from Station Holdco based upon Red Rock’s economic interest held in Station Holdco. Station Holdco is a partnership for income tax reporting purposes. Station Holdco’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their respective share of Station Holdco’s pass-through taxable income.

The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate and makes necessary cumulative adjustments to the total tax provision or benefit.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 10.1% and 10.4%, respectively, as compared to 19.9% and 14.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company’s

---

effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the 21% statutory rate primarily because its effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact that Station Holdco operates as a limited liability company, which is not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the Company is not taxed on the portion of Station Holdco’s income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

As a result of the Company’s 2016 initial public offering (“IPO”) and certain reorganization transactions, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset resulting from the outside basis difference of its interest in Station Holdco. The Company also recorded a deferred tax asset for its liability related to payments to be made pursuant to the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) representing 85% of the tax savings the Company expects to realize from the amortization deductions associated with the step-up in the basis of depreciable assets under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code. This deferred tax asset will be recovered as cash payments are made to the TRA participants. In addition, the Company records deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and other tax attributes, as applicable.

The Company considers both positive and negative evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is not required to the extent that, in management’s judgment, positive evidence exists with a magnitude and duration sufficient to result in a conclusion that it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company determined that the deferred tax asset related to the LLC Units issued in the IPO and reorganization transactions is not expected to be realized unless the Company disposes of its investment in Station Holdco. As such, the Company established a valuation allowance against this portion of its deferred tax asset. The Company recognizes changes to the valuation allowance through the provision for income tax or other comprehensive income, as applicable.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the TRA with certain owners who held LLC Units prior to the IPO. In the event that such parties exchange any or all of their LLC Units for Class A common stock or cash, at the election of the Company, the TRA requires the Company to make payments to such holders for 85% of the tax benefits realized by the Company as a result of such exchange. The Company expects to realize these tax benefits based on current projections of taxable income. The annual tax benefits are computed by calculating the income taxes due, including such tax benefits, and the income taxes due without such benefits.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s liability under the TRA was $22.0 million and $28.6 million, respectively, of which $6.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively, was payable to entities related to Frank J. Fertitta III, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, Vice Chairman of the Board and a vice president of the Company. No LLC Units were exchanged during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 the Company made payments on the TRA liability of $6.6 million and expects to pay $1.0 million of the TRA liability within the next twelve months.

The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the amount and timing of the taxable income the Company generates each year and the tax rate then applicable. The payment obligations under the TRA are Red Rock’s obligations and are not obligations of Station Holdco or Station LLC. Payments are generally due within a specified period of time following the filing of the Company’s annual tax return and interest on such payments will accrue from the original due date (without extensions) of the income tax return until the date paid. Payments not made within the required period after the filing of the income tax return generally accrue interest.

The TRA will remain in effect until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA. The TRA will also terminate if the Company breaches its obligations under the TRA or upon certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations, or other changes of control. If the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA, or if the TRA is terminated early in accordance with its terms, the Company’s payment obligations would be accelerated based upon certain assumptions, including the assumption that the Company would have sufficient future taxable income to utilize such tax benefits, and may substantially exceed the actual benefits, if any, the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the TRA.

converted method. Dilutive shares included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 represented outstanding shares of Class B common stock, nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock and outstanding stock options. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, dilutive shares included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share represented nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock and outstanding stock options. All other potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is presented below (amounts in thousands):

			Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,
			2023						2022						2023						2022

Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, diluted			103,329						61,568						103,260						62,707

The calculation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock excluded the following potentially dilutive securities that were outstanding at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because their inclusion would have been antidilutive (amounts in thousands):

			Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,
			2023						2022						2023						2022
Shares of Class B common stock and LLC Units exchangeable for Class A common stock			—						45,986						—						45,986
Stock options			2,310						2,012						2,310						1,164
Unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock			153						205						153						104

Shares of Class B common stock are not entitled to share in the earnings of the Company and are not participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

The new methodology was applied to all periods presented. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, expenses of $3.9 million and $7.5 million, respectively, were reclassified from the Las Vegas Operations segment to Corporate and other to conform with the current year presentation.

or of any Unrestricted Subsidiary so revoked, as the case may be (determined on a basis consistent with the corresponding definitions herein, with appropriate reference changes) shall be excluded and (ii) for any period in which any Person, property, business or asset (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, closed or classified as discontinued operations by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the “consolidated current assets” and “consolidated current liabilities” of any Person, property, business or asset so sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, closed or classified as discontinued operations or Restricted Subsidiary so designated, as the case may be (determined on a basis consistent with the corresponding definitions herein, with appropriate reference changes) shall be excluded.

“Write-Down and Conversion Powers” shall mean, (a) with respect to any EEA Resolution Authority, the write-down and conversion powers of such EEA Resolution Authority from time to time under the Bail-In Legislation for the applicable EEA Member Country, which write-down and conversion powers are described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule, and (b) with respect to the United Kingdom, any powers of the applicable Resolution Authority under the Bail-In Legislation to cancel, reduce, modify or change the form of a liability of any UK Financial Institution or any contract or instrument under which that liability arises, to convert all or part of that liability into shares, securities or obligations of that person or any other person, to provide that any such contract or instrument is to have effect as if a right had been exercised under it or to suspend any obligation in respect of that liability or any of the powers under that Bail-In Legislation that are related to or ancillary to any of those powers.

SECTION 1.02. Accounting Terms and Determinations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including in the definitions of “Capital Lease” and “Capital Lease Obligations”), all computations and determinations as to accounting or financial matters (including financial covenants) shall be made in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date consistently applied for all applicable periods, and all accounting or financial terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms by GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Credit Document, and Borrower notifies Administrative Agent that Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Credit Document, and Borrower, Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders, not to be unreasonably withheld).

SECTION 1.03. Classes and Types of Loans. Loans hereunder are distinguished by “Class” and by “Type.” The “Class” of a Loan (or of a Commitment to make a Loan) refers to whether such Loan is a Revolving Loan of any particular Tranche, a Term A-5 Facility Loan, a Term B-1 Facility Loan, a New Term Loan of any particular Tranche, or a Term Loan of any particular Tranche of Term Loans created pursuant to an Extension Amendment or a Refinancing Amendment or a Swingline Loan, each of which constitutes a Class. The “Type” of a Loan refers to whether such Loan is an ABR Loan or a LIBORSOFR Loan, each of which constitutes a Type. Loans may be identified by both Class and Type.

SECTION 1.05. Pro Forma Calculations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.05; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 1.05, when calculating the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, as applicable, for purposes of determining actual compliance (and not compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with any covenant pursuant to Section 10.08, the events described in this Section 1.05 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.

(b) For purposes of calculating the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, Specified Transactions (and the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period and (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If, since the beginning of any applicable Test Period, any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.05, then the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.05.

 

-65-

---

(c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to the Transactions or a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of Borrower and include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies projected by Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken or with respect to which steps have been initiated, or are reasonably expected to be initiated, within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date, in the case of the Transactions, and in the case of any other Specified Transaction, within twelve (12) months of the closing date of such Specified Transaction (in the good faith determination of Borrower) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized during the entirety of the applicable period), net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; provided that, with respect to any such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies, the limitations and requirements set forth in clause (c) of the definitions of Consolidated EBITDA (other than the requirement set forth in clause (c) of Consolidated EBITDA that steps have been initiated or taken) shall apply; provided, further, that the aggregate amount of additions made to Consolidated EBITDA for any Test Period pursuant to this clause (c) and clause (c) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” shall not (i) exceed 15.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period (after giving effect to this clause (c) and clause (c) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”) or (ii) be duplicative of one another.

(d) In the event that Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, prepayment, retirement, exchange or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, as the case may be (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility), (i) during the applicable Test Period and/or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on (A) the last day of the applicable Test Period in the case of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio and (B) the first day of the applicable Test Period in the case of the Interest Coverage Ratio. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Interest Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any hedging obligations applicable to such Indebtedness); provided that, in the case of repayment of any Indebtedness, to the extent actual interest related thereto was included during all or any portion of the applicable Test Period, the actual interest may be used for the applicable portion of such Test Period. Interest on a Capital Lease shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a Londonsecured overnight financing rate, an interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as Borrower may designate.

SECTION 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, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

SECTION 1.07. Divisions. For all purposes under the Credit Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 1.08. Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a) Alternative Rate of Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, this Section 1.08 provides a mechanism for determining

 

-66-

---

an alternative rate of interest. Administrative Agent will promptly notify and consult with Borrower, pursuant to this Section 1.08, of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBORSOFR Loans is based. However, Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to this Section 1.08, whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to this Section 1.08), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO RateTerm SOFR with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower, so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the LIBO RateTerm SOFR with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Administrative Agent in consultation with Borrower will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Administrative Agent will promptly notify and consult with Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 1.08 in consultation with Borrower, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, with the consent of Borrower and the Required Lenders as required pursuant to this Section 1.08.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) any Notice of Continuation/Conversion that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a LIBORSOFR Loan shall be ineffective and, (ii) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a LIBORSOFR Loan, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan and (iii) any outstanding SOFR Loans shall be converted to ABR Loans.

SECTION 1.09. Rates. Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the

 

-67-

same volume or liquidity as, ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other benchmark rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Term SOFR Conforming Changes or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other benchmark rate, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Borrower shall elect the Tranche of Revolving Commitments under which Revolving Loans are to be borrowed under this Section 2.01(a)(iv) by indicating such Tranche in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the applicable Revolving Availability Period, Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow the amount of the Revolving Commitments by means of ABR Loans and LIBORSOFR Loans.

The Sixth Amendment Revolving Commitments (including the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Commitments) (and the Revolving Loans thereunder) shall constitute “Obligations,” “Guaranteed Obligations” and “Secured Obligations” under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sixth Amendment Revolving Commitments on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date shall be as set forth on Annex A-1.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) [Reserved].

(d) Limit on LIBORSOFR Loans. No more than eighttwelve (812) separate Interest Periods in respect of LIBORSOFR Loans may be outstanding at any one time in the aggregate under all of the facilities.

(e) Swingline Loans.

(i) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.01(e), the Swingline Lender at the request of Borrower may, in the Swingline Lender’s sole discretion, make Swingline Loans to Borrower in Dollars from time to time during any Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (x) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Sublimit or (y) (1) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the Total Revolving Commitments, (2) the Revolving Exposure of any Revolving Lender exceeding the Revolving Commitments of such Lender then in effect, (3) the Revolving Tranche Exposure of any Revolving Lender in respect of such Tranche of Revolving Commitments exceeding such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment of such Tranche in effect at such time or (4) the Revolving Tranche Exposure of all Revolving Lenders in respect of such Tranche of Revolving Commitments exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Tranche in effect at such time; provided, however, that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow Swingline Loans. Borrower shall elect the Tranche of Revolving Commitments under which such Swingline Loan is to be borrowed under this Section 2.01(e)(i) by indicating such Tranche in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01(e) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loan at a time when a Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche is a Defaulting Lender if such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swingline Loans cannot be reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14(a) unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender and Borrower have been made to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swingline Loans, including by Cash Collateralizing in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender to support, such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Commitment percentage of outstanding Swingline Loans.

(ii) Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing in the form of a Notice of Borrowing by facsimile or electronic mail), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan (which day shall be a Business Day).

Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.01(e)(i) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to Borrower by depositing the same by wire transfer of immediately available funds in (or, in the case of an account of Borrower maintained with the Swingline Lender, by crediting the same to) the account of Borrower as directed by Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing for such Swingline Loan by 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. Swingline Loans shall only be incurred and maintained as ABR Loans. Borrower shall not request a Swingline Loan if at the time of or immediately after giving effect to such request a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $500,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 above such amount. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Revolving Lender of the applicable Tranche shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s R/C Percentage (with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments) of such Swingline Loan.

(iii) Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, and without any penalty or premium, upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, or telecopy notice) to the Swingline Lender and to Administrative Agent before 12:00 p.m. (Noon), New York time, on the date of repayment at the Swingline Lender’s office as the Swingline Lender may from time to time specify to Borrower and Administrative Agent.

(iv) Refinancing; Participations.

(A) The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche make a ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s R/C Percentage (with respect to the applicable Tranche) of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in this Agreement for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments of the applicable Tranche and the conditions set forth in Section 7.02. The Swingline Lender shall furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche shall make an amount equal to its R/C Percentage (with respect to the applicable Tranche) of the amount specified in such notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan) for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.01(e)(iv)(B), each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a ABR Loan under such Tranche to Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.

(B) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.01(e)(iv)(A), the request for ABR Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Tranche fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.01(e)(iv)(A) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(C) If any Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.01(e)(iv)(A) by the time specified in such Section,

 

-70-

---

the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (other than any such interest or fees) shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (C) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(D) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans under the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.01(e)(iv) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, 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, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans under the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.01(e)(iv) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(E) The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments funds its Revolving Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.01(e) to refinance such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage (with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments) of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such R/C Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) [Reserved].

acceptable to the L/C Lender). Such Letter of Credit application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system agreed to by the applicable L/C Lender, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable L/C Lender. Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit L or such other form as is reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Lender appropriately completed (each a “Letter of Credit Request”) and shall specify the Tranche of Revolving Commitments under which such Letter of Credit shall be issued and a date of issuance not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the R/C Maturity Date then in effect for the applicable Tranche (it being understood that after issuance of any Letter of Credit, Borrower may be written notice to Administrative Agent designate such Letter of Credit as having been issued under another Tranche of Revolving Commitments if such Letter of Credit would be permitted to be issued under such other Tranche of Revolving Commitments at such time). Each Letter of Credit Request must be accompanied by documentation describing in reasonable detail the proposed terms, conditions and format of the Letter of Credit to be issued, and if so requested by any L/C Lender each Letter of Credit Request shall be accompanied by such L/C Lender’s form of application but which application shall not contain any operating or financial covenants or any provisions inconsistent with this Agreement. If Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the applicable L/C Lender 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 L/C Lender to decline any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Lender at the time of the original issuance or automatic extension of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto- Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the third Business Day preceding the R/C Maturity Date then in effect for the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments (provided, that such three (3) Business Day limitation shall not apply to any Letter of Credit that Borrower has agreed to Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount or otherwise backstop (with a letter of credit on customary terms) to the applicable L/C Lender’s and the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction); provided, however, that the L/C Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Lender 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) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non- Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Tranche Lenders of the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Lender not to permit such extension. If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and condition of any application, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern. Each Lender hereby authorizes each L/C Lender to issue and perform its obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and each Letter of Credit shall be issued in accordance with the customary procedures of such L/C Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the failure of any L/C Lender to require an application at any time and from time to time shall not restrict or impair such L/C Lender’s right to require such an application or agreement as a condition to the issuance of any subsequent Letter of Credit.

(c) On each day during the period commencing with the issuance by the applicable L/C Lender of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Revolving Commitments under the applicable Tranche of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes hereof in an amount equal to such Lender’s R/C Percentage of the then Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus the amount of any unreimbursed drawings thereunder. Each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche (other than the applicable L/C Lender) severally agrees that, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, it shall automatically acquire from the L/C Lender that issued such Letter of Credit, without recourse, a participation in such L/C Lender’s obligation to fund drawings and rights under such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s R/C Percentage with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments of such obligation and rights, and each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche (other than such L/C Lender) thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such L/C Lender to pay and discharge when due, its R/C Percentage with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments of such L/C Lender’s obligation to fund drawings under such Letter of Credit. Such L/C Lender shall be deemed to hold an L/C Liability in an amount equal to its retained interest in the related Letter of Credit after giving effect to

such acquisition by the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Tranche other than such L/C Lender of their participation interests.

(d) In the event that any L/C Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, such L/C Lender shall promptly notify (the “L/C Payment Notice”) Administrative Agent and Borrower of the amount paid by such L/C Lender and the date on which payment is to be made to such beneficiary. Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay and reimburse such L/C Lender, through the Administrative Agent, for the amount of payment under such Letter of Credit in Dollars, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Revolving Loans under the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments that are maintained as ABR Loans as are in effect from time to time from the date payment was made to such beneficiary to the date on which payment is due, such payment to be made not later than the second Business Day after the date on which Borrower receives the applicable L/C Payment Notice (or the third Business Day thereafter if such L/C Payment Notice is received on a date that is not a Business Day or after 1:00 p.m., New York time, on a Business Day). Any such payment due from Borrower and not paid on the required date shall thereafter bear interest at rates specified in Section 3.02(b) until paid. Promptly upon receipt of the amount paid by Borrower pursuant to the immediately prior sentence, the applicable L/C Lender shall notify Administrative Agent of such payment and whether or not such payment constitutes payment in full of the Reimbursement Obligation under the applicable Letter of Credit.

(e) Promptly upon its receipt of a L/C Payment Notice referred to in Section 2.03(d), Borrower shall advise the applicable L/C Lender and Administrative Agent whether or not Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse such L/C Lender for the amount of the related demand for payment under the applicable Letter of Credit and, if it does so intend, submit a Notice of Borrowing for such borrowing to Administrative Agent as provided in Section 4.05. In the event that Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Lender, through the Administrative Agent, for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the second Business Day after the date of the applicable L/C Payment Notice (or the third Business Day thereafter if such L/C Payment Notice is received on a date that is not a Business Day or after 1:00 p.m., New York time on a Business Day), such L/C Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of such failure by Borrower to so reimburse and of the amount of the demand for payment. In the event that Borrower fails to either submit a Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent as provided above or reimburse such L/C Lender, through the Administrative Agent, for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the second Business Day after the date of the applicable L/C Payment Notice (or the third Business Day thereafter if such L/C Payment Notice is received on a date that is not a Business Day or after 1:00 p.m., New York time, on a Business Day), Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche prompt notice of the amount of the demand for payment including the interest therein owed by Borrower (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), specifying such Lender’s R/C Percentage with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments thereof and requesting payment of such amount.

(f) Each Revolving Lender (other than the applicable L/C Lender) under the applicable Tranche shall pay to Administrative Agent for account of the applicable L/C Lender at the Principal Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments of the Unreimbursed Amount upon not less than one Business Day’s actual notice by Administrative Agent as described in Section 2.03(e) to such Revolving Lender requesting such payment and specifying such amount. Administrative Agent will promptly remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Lender in Dollars. Each such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payments to Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Lender under this Section 2.03(f), and the applicable L/C Lender’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including (i) the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make its payment under this Section 2.03(f), (ii) the financial condition of Borrower or the existence of any Default or (iii) the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to any L/C Lender shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(g) Upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to an L/C Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(f) in respect of any Letter of Credit, such Revolving Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of Administrative Agent, such L/C Lender or such Revolving Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to such L/C Lender by Borrower hereunder and under the L/C Documents relating to such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation equal to such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments

in any interest or other amounts (other than cost reimbursements) payable by Borrower hereunder and under such L/C Documents in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation. If any L/C Lender receives directly from or for the account of Borrower any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation or any such interest or other amounts (including by way of setoff or application of proceeds of any collateral security), such L/C Lender shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche which has satisfied its obligations under Section 2.03(f), such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments of such payment, each such payment by such L/C Lender to be made in Dollars. In the event any payment received by such L/C Lender and so paid to the Revolving Lenders hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by such L/C Lender, each applicable Revolving Lender shall, upon the request of such L/C Lender (through Administrative Agent), repay to such L/C Lender (through Administrative Agent) the amount of such payment paid to such Revolving Lender, with interest at the rate specified in Section 2.03(j).

(h) Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche, and with respect to each Tranche of Revolving Commitments, in respect of each Letter of Credit and each Tranche of Revolving Commitments for which such Revolving Lender has a L/C Liability, a letter of credit commission equal to (x) the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans of such Tranche made by such Revolving Lender that are LIBORSOFR Loans in effect from time to time, multiplied by (y) the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit allocable to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitments of such Tranche for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit which expires in accordance with its terms, to and including such expiration date and (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit which is drawn in full or is otherwise terminated other than on the stated expiration date of such Letter of Credit, to and excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full or is terminated. Such commission will be non-refundable and is to be paid (1) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date and (2) on each applicable R/C Maturity Date. In addition, Borrower shall pay to each L/C Lender, for such L/C Lender’s account a fronting fee (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, at the rate separately agreed to with such L/C Lender, computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between Borrower and such L/C Lender, computed on the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate equal to the greater of (i) $500 per quarter or (ii) 0.25% per annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Date in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the latest R/C Maturity 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 Borrower agrees to pay to each L/C Lender all charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by such L/C Lender, from time to time in like circumstances, with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, payment of drawings, and other transactions relating thereto.

(i) Upon the issuance of or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower a written notice of such issuance, amendment or modification and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective amendment or modification thereto, as the case may be. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche a written notice regarding such issuance, amendment or modification, as the case may be, and, if so requested by a Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche, Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Revolving Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification, as the case may be.

(j) If and to the extent that any Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche fails to pay an amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(f) or 2.03(g) on the due date therefor, such Revolving Lender shall pay to the applicable L/C Lender (through Administrative Agent) interest on such amount with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments held by such Revolving Lender for each day from and including such due date to but excluding the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as in effect from time to time) for the first three days and at the interest rate (in effect from time to time) applicable to Revolving Loans under such Tranche made by such Revolving Lender that are maintained as ABR Loans for each date thereafter. If any Revolving Lender holds Revolving Commitments of more than one Tranche and such Revolving Lender makes a partial payment of amounts due by it under Section 2.03(f) or 2.03(g) with respect to

 

-76-

---

multiple Tranches, such partial payment shall be allocated pro rata to each Tranche based on the amount of Revolving Commitments of each Tranche held by such Revolving Lender.

(k) The issuance by any L/C Lender of any amendment or modification to any Letter of Credit hereunder that would extend the expiry date or increase the Stated Amount thereof shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Section 2.03 to the issuance of new Letters of Credit, and no such amendment or modification shall be issued hereunder (i) unless either (x) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended or modified form or (y) the Required Revolving Lenders (or other specified Revolving Lenders to the extent required by Section 13.04) shall have consented thereto or (ii) if the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed terms of the Letter of Credit.

(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no L/C Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if at the time of such issuance, (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Lender shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date and which such L/C Lender in good faith deems material to it or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

(m) The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and any L/C Document to reimburse any L/C Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other L/C Document under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Credit Document or any L/C Document;

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

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any 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 any Letter of Credit; or any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing;

(iv) waiver by a L/C Lender of any requirement that exists for the L/C Lender’s protection and not the protection of Borrower or any waiver by the L/C Lender which does not in fact materially prejudice 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 a L/C Lender 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 UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

 

-77-

(vii) any payment by a 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 a L/C Lender 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, Borrower or a Guarantor.

To the extent that any provision of any L/C Document is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.03, the provisions of this Section 2.03 shall control.

(n) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Revolving Lenders hereby agree that, as of the Closing Date, each letter of credit identified on Schedule 2.03(n) (each, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall be a Letter of Credit as if originally issued under this Agreement, and that the fees and other provisions set forth in this Section 2.03 shall be applicable to each Existing Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date.

(o) On the last Business Day of each month, each L/C Lender shall provide to Administrative Agent such information regarding the outstanding Letters of Credit as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (and in such standard electronic format as Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify), for purposes of Administrative Agent’s ongoing tracking and reporting of outstanding Letters of Credit. Administrative Agent shall maintain a record of all outstanding Letters of Credit based upon information provided by the L/C Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.03(o), and such record of Administrative Agent shall, absent manifest error, be deemed a correct and conclusive record of all Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent Administrative Agent determines that there are one or more discrepancies between information provided by any L/C Lender hereunder, Administrative Agent will notify such L/C Lender thereof and such L/C Lender shall endeavor to reconcile any such discrepancy. In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, with respect to commercial documentary Letters of Credit, on the first Business Day of each week the applicable L/C Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent, by facsimile or electronic mail, a report detailing the daily outstanding commercial documentary Letters of Credit for the previous week for such Letters of Credit.

(p) Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the 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 Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Lender 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, the Required Tranche Lenders of any applicable Tranche or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Document as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. 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, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude 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 Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Lenders shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.03(m); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against a L/C Lender, and a L/C Lender may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Lender’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or material breach of any Credit Document or such L/C Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and

conditions of a Letter of Credit, in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Lenders 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 the L/C Lenders 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. The L/C Lenders 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.

(q) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Lender and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Lenders shall not be responsible to Borrower for, and the L/C Lenders’ rights and remedies against Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Lenders 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 such L/C Lender 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.

(r) 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, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(s) A Revolving Lender may become an additional L/C Lender hereunder with the approval of the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Borrower and such Revolving Lender, pursuant to an agreement with, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent, Borrower and such Revolving Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such additional L/C Lender.

(viii) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.04, the aggregate amount of the Term B-1 Facility Commitments outstanding on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date (after giving effect to the modification into, and making of, the Term B-1 Facility Loans on such date).

(ix) The aggregate amount of the Closing Date Revolving Commitments (as defined in this Agreement prior to giving effect to the Sixth Amendment) were terminated and reduced to zero on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date.

(b) Borrower shall have the right at any time or from time to time (without premium or penalty except breakage costs (if any) pursuant to Section 5.05) (i) so long as no Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or L/C Liabilities will be outstanding as of the date specified for termination (after giving effect to all transactions occurring on such date), to terminate the Revolving Commitments in their entirety and (ii) so long as the remaining Total Revolving Commitments will equal or exceed the aggregate amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, Swingline Exposure and L/C Liabilities, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (which shall be pro rata among the Revolving Lenders except that the Borrower may reduce or terminate Commitments of any Tranche with an earlier maturity date on a greater than pro rata basis as compared to any other Tranche with a later maturity date than such Tranche being reduced or terminated); provided, however, that (x) Borrower shall give notice of each such termination or reduction as provided in Section 4.05, and (y) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $5.0 million (or any whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof) or, if less, the remaining Unutilized R/C Commitments.

(c) Any Commitment once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated.

(d) Each reduction or termination of any of the Commitments applicable to any Tranche pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders with such a Commitment, as the case may be, in accordance with their respective Commitment, as applicable.

SECTION 2.05. Fees.

(a) Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), with respect to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitments of each Tranche, a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date (or, following the conversion of such Revolving Commitment into another Tranche, the applicable Extension Date) to but not including the earlier of (i) the date such Revolving Commitment is terminated or expires (or is modified to constitute another Tranche) and (ii) the R/C Maturity Date applicable to such Revolving Commitment, in each case, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee Percentage in respect of such Tranche in effect from time to time during such period on the actual daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s Unutilized R/C Commitment in respect of such Tranche. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the definition of “Unutilized R/C Commitments,” for purposes of determining Unutilized R/C Commitments of a Tranche in connection with computing commitment fees with respect to Revolving Commitments of such Tranche, a Revolving Commitment of a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans under such Tranche and L/C Liability under such Tranche of such Revolving Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Revolving Lender in respect of such Tranche shall be disregarded for such purpose). Any accrued commitment fee under this Section 2.05(a) in respect of any Revolving Commitment shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of (i) the date such Revolving Commitment is terminated or expires (or is modified to constitute another Tranche) and (ii) the R/C Maturity Date applicable to such Revolving Commitment.

(c) At the time of the effectiveness of a Repricing Transaction prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with outstanding Term B-1 Facility Loans (including each Lender that withholds its consent to such Repricing Transaction and is replaced or is removed as a Lender or is repaid under Section 2.11 or 13.04(b), as the case may be), a fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Term B-1 Facility Loans that are refinanced, converted, replaced, amended, modified or otherwise repriced in such Repricing Transaction. Such fee shall be due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

(d) Borrower shall pay to Auction Manager for its own account, in connection with any Borrower Loan Purchase, such fees as may be agreed between Borrower and Auction Manager.

SECTION 2.06. Lending Offices. The Loans of each Type made by each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.

SECTION 2.07. Several Obligations of Lenders. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but neither any Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender, and no Lender shall have any obligation to Administrative Agent or any other Lender for the failure by such Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such Lender. No Revolving Lender will be responsible for failure of any other Lender to fund its participation in Letters of Credit.

SECTION 2.08. Notes; Register.

(a) At the request of any Lender, its Loans of a particular Class shall be evidenced by a promissory note, payable to such Lender (or its nominee) and otherwise duly completed, substantially in the form of Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4 of such Lender’s Revolving Loans, Term A-5 Facility Loans, Term B-1 Facility Loans and Swingline Loans, respectively; and in the case of any New Term Loans, such form of promissory note provided pursuant to the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement; provided that any promissory notes issued in respect of New Term Loans, Other Term Loans, Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Loans shall be in such form as mutually agreed by Borrower and Administrative Agent.

(b) The date, amount, Type, interest rate and duration of the Interest Period (if applicable) of each Loan of each Class made by each Lender to Borrower and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender (or its nominee) on its books and, prior to any transfer of any Note evidencing the Loans of such Class held by it, endorsed by such Lender (or its nominee) on the schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof; provided, however, that the failure of such Lender (or its nominee) to make any such recordation or endorsement or any error in such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under such Note.

(c) Borrower hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as its nonfiduciary agent, solely for purposes of this Section 2.08, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the name and address of each Lender, the Commitment from time to time of each of the Lenders, the principal amount of the Loans made by each of the Lenders (and the stated interest thereon) and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation or any error in such recordation shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. The entries in the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the information noted therein (absent manifest error), and the parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of the Credit Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective unless recorded in the Register; provided, however, that Administrative Agent agrees to record in the Register any assignment entered into pursuant to the term hereof promptly after the effectiveness of such assignment.

SECTION 2.09. Optional Prepayments and Conversions or Continuations of Loans.

(a) Subject to Section 4.04, Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans (without premium or penalty, except as provided in Section 2.09(c)) of a Tranche, or to convert Loans of a Tranche of one Type into Loans of such Tranche of another Type or to continue Loans of a Tranche of one Type as Loans of the same Tranche of the same Type, at any time or from time to time. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment, conversion or continuation as provided in Section 4.05 (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder; provided that Borrower may make any such notice conditional upon the occurrence of a Person’s acquisition or sale or any incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of Equity Interests). Each Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. If LIBORSOFR Loans are prepaid or converted other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, Borrower shall at such time pay all expenses and costs required by Section 5.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of the Lenders under Article XI, in the event that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent may (and, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall), upon written notice to Borrower, have the right to suspend the right of Borrower to convert any Loan into a LIBORSOFR Loan, or to continue any Loan as a LIBORSOFR Loan, in which event all Loans shall be converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or continued, as the case may be, as ABR Loans. Swingline Loans may not be converted or continued.

(b) Application.

(i) The amount of any optional prepayments described in Section 2.09(a) shall be applied to prepay Loans outstanding in order of amortization, in amounts and to Tranches, all as determined by Borrower.

(ii) In addition to the foregoing, and provided that the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00, Borrower shall have the right to elect to offer to prepay the Loans pro rata to the Term A-5 Facility Loans, the Term B-1 Facility Loans, the New Term Loans, the Extended Term Loans and the Other Term Loans then outstanding and apply any amounts rejected for such prepayment to repurchase, prepay, redeem, retire, acquire, defease or cancel Indebtedness or to make Restricted Payments notwithstanding any then applicable limitations set forth in Section 10.09 or 10.06, respectively. If Borrower makes such an election, it shall provide notice thereof to Administrative Agent, who shall promptly, and in any event within one Business Day of receipt, provide such notice to the holders of the Term Loans. Any such notice shall specify the aggregate amount offered to prepay the Term Loans. Each holder of a Term A- 5 Facility Loan, a Term B-1 Facility Loan, a New Term Loan, an Other Term Loan or an Extended Term Loan may elect, in its sole discretion, to reject such prepayment offer with respect to an amount equal to or less than (v) with respect to holders of Term A-5 Facility Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Term A-5 Facility Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Term A-5 Facility Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Term A-5 Facility Loans outstanding, (w) with respect to holders of Term B-1 Facility Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Term B-1 Facility Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Term B-1 Facility Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Term B-1 Facility Loans outstanding, (x) with respect to holders of New Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay New Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of New Term Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of New Term Loans outstanding, (y) with respect to holders of Other Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Other Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Other Term Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Other Term Loans outstanding and (z) with respect to holders of Extended Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Extended Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Extended Term Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Extended Term Loans outstanding. Any rejection of such offer must be evidenced by written notice delivered to Administrative Agent within five Business Days of receipt of the offer for prepayment, specifying an amount of such prepayment offer rejected by such holder, if any. Failure to give such notice will constitute an election to accept such offer. Any portion of such prepayment offer so accepted will be used to prepay the Term Loans held by the applicable holders within

 

-82-

---

ten Business Days of the date of receipt of the offer to prepay. Any portion of such prepayment rejected may be used by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to repurchase, prepay, redeem, retire, acquire, defease or cancel Indebtedness or to make Restricted Payments notwithstanding any then applicable limitations set forth in Section 10.09 or 10.06, respectively.

(c) Any prepayment of Term B-1 Facility Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09, Section 2.11 or Section 13.04(b) made prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date in connection with any Repricing Transaction shall be subject to the fee described in Section 2.05(c).

(x) if no Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom, the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate to Administrative Agent stating that an amount equal to such proceeds is intended to be used to fund the acquisition of Property used or usable in the business of any Credit Party or repair, replace or restore the Property or other Property used or usable in the business of any Credit Party (in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Security Document in respect of which such Casualty Event has occurred, to the extent applicable), in each case within (A) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds or (B) if Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date of such legally binding commitment and (2) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds, and

(y) if all or any portion of such Net Available Proceeds not required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) is not so used within the period specified by clause (x) above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in Section 2.10(b).

-83-

---

such Asset Sale was effected by any other Company, any Company, in each case within (x) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds or (y) if Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (A) one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date of such legally binding commitment and (B) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); and

(y) if all or any portion of such Net Available Proceeds is not reinvested in assets in accordance with the Officer’s Certificate referred to in clause (x) above within the period specified by clause (x) above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in Section 2.10(b).

(iv) Excess Cash Flow. For each fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020), not later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the financial statements of Borrower referred to in Section 9.04(b) for such fiscal year are required to be delivered to Administrative Agent, Borrower shall prepay, in accordance with subsection (b) below, the principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to (x) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, minus (y) the principal amount of (i) Term Loans voluntarily prepaid pursuant to Section 2.09 during such fiscal year (excluding any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date) plus (ii) Revolving Loans voluntarily prepaid pursuant to Section 2.09 to the extent accompanied by an equivalent permanent reduction of the Total Revolving Commitments during such fiscal year, plus (iii) Other First Lien Indebtedness voluntarily prepaid (and, to the extent consisting of revolving loans, so long as accompanied by a permanent reduction of the underlying commitments) during such fiscal year to the extent the amount of such Other First Lien Indebtedness so prepaid is not proportionally larger than the amount of Term Loans (excluding Term A-5 Facility Loans) so prepaid according to the respective principal amounts of Other First Lien Indebtedness and Term Loans (excluding Term A-5 Facility Loans) as of the beginning of the applicable fiscal year plus the principal amount of any additional Other First Lien Indebtedness or Term Loans (excluding Term A-5 Facility Loans) incurred during the applicable fiscal year or other applicable period, in each case, except to the extent financed with the proceeds of Indebtedness of Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(v) Equity Issuance Proceeds.

(vi) Prepayments Not Required. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.10(a), to the extent that any of or all the Net Available Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries or any Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries, are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.10(a) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long as applicable local law does not permit repatriation to the United States (Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, (x) any such Net Available Proceeds shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or (iii), as applicable, or applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within five (5) Business Days of such repatriation, and (y) any such Excess Cash Flow shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within five (5) Business Days of such repatriation. To the extent Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Available Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries or any Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would have a material adverse tax cost to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that, on or before the date on which the Net Available Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or

 

-84-

prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or (iii), as applicable (or, in the case of Excess Cash Flow, a date on or before the date that is twelve (12) months after the date such Excess Cash Flow would have been so required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iv)), unless previously repatriated (in which case, (x) any such Net Available Proceeds shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or (iii), as applicable, or applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within five (5) Business Days of such repatriation, and (y) any such Excess Cash Flow shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within five (5) Business Days of such repatriation), (A) Borrower shall apply an amount equal to such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, minus, the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) pursuant to Section 2.10(b) or (B) such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of any Foreign Subsidiary.

(vii) Prepayments of Other First Lien Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 2.10(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or otherwise, any Net Available Proceeds from any such Casualty Event, Debt Issuance or Asset Sale, any Equity Issuance Proceeds from any such issuance or sale of Equity Interests or capital contribution and any such Excess Cash Flow otherwise required to be applied to prepay the Loans may, at Borrower’s option, be applied to prepay the principal amount of Other First Lien Indebtedness only to (and not in excess of) the extent to which a mandatory prepayment in respect of such Casualty Event, Debt Issuance, Asset Sale, issuance or sale of Equity Interests or capital contribution or Excess Cash Flow is required under the terms of such Other First Lien Indebtedness (with any remaining Net Available Proceeds, Equity Issuance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, applied to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), unless such application would result in the holders of Other First Lien Indebtedness receiving in excess of their pro rata share (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans (in the case of a prepayment under Section 2.10(a)(iv), determined excluding Term A-5 Facility Loans) and Other First Lien Indebtedness at such time) of such Net Available Proceeds, Equity Issuance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, relative to Lenders, in which case such Net Available Proceeds, Equity Issuance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, may only be applied to prepay the principal amount of Other First Lien Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with outstanding Term Loans (in the case of a prepayment under Section 2.10(a)(iv), determined excluding Term A-5 Facility Loans). To the extent the holders of Other First Lien Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased, repaid or prepaid with any such Net Available Proceeds, Equity Issuance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, the declined amount of such Net Available Proceeds, Equity Issuance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (to the extent such Net Available Proceeds, Equity Issuance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, would otherwise have been required to be applied if such Other First Lien Indebtedness was not then outstanding). Any such application to Other First Lien Indebtedness shall reduce any prepayments otherwise required hereunder by an equivalent amount.

(b) Application. The amount of any required prepayments described in Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to prepay Loans as follows:

(i) First, to the reduction of Amortization Payments on the Term Loans required by Sections 3.01(b), 3.01(c) and 3.01(d) (on a pro rata basis among each Tranche of Term Loans, subject to the immediately following paragraph) and, in the case of the Term Facilities, to the remaining principal installments with respect thereto in direct order of maturity over the next succeeding four (4) quarterly installments and, thereafter, on a pro rata basis; provided that, each such prepayment shall, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 2.10(b), be applied to such Term Loans that are ABR Loans to the fullest extent thereof before application to Loans that are LIBORSOFR Loans, and such prepayments of LIBORSOFR Loans shall be applied in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.05;

(ii) Second, after such time as no Term Loans or Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt in respect of Term Loans remain outstanding, (x) to repay all outstanding Swingline Loans, (y) after such time

 

-85-

---

as no Swingline Loans are outstanding, to prepay all outstanding Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis among each Tranche of Revolving Loans (in each case, with a corresponding permanent reduction in Revolving Commitments) and (z) after such time as no Revolving Loans are outstanding, to Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount; and

(iii) Third, after application of prepayments in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) above, Borrower shall be permitted to retain any such remaining excess.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) any Lender holding Term Loans may elect, by written notice to Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans, pursuant to this Section 2.10, in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Term Loans, but was so declined may be retained by Borrower (any such retained amounts, “Declined Amounts”) and (2) mandatory prepayments to be made pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iv) shall not be required to be applied to the Term A-5 Facility Loans or the Sixth Amendment Revolving Commitments (or Revolving Loans thereunder) and mandatory prepayments pursuant to such Section shall be made and applied as if the Term A-5 Facility Loans and the Sixth Amendment Revolving Commitments (and Revolving Loans thereunder) were not outstanding on the date of such mandatory prepayments.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.10 shall be in excess of the amount of the ABR Loans at the time outstanding, only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of Borrower, the balance of such required prepayment shall be either (i) deposited in the Collateral Account and applied to the prepayment of LIBORSOFR Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for LIBORSOFR Loans (with all interest accruing thereon for the account of Borrower) or (ii) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 5.05. Notwithstanding any such deposit in the Collateral Account, interest shall continue to accrue on such Loans until prepayment.

(c) Revolving Credit Extension Reductions. Until the final R/C Maturity Date, Borrower shall from time to time immediately prepay the Revolving Loans (and/or provide Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount for, or otherwise backstop (with a letter of credit on customary terms reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Lender and the Administrative Agent), outstanding L/C Liabilities) in such amounts as shall be necessary so that at all times (a) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans, plus, the aggregate outstanding L/C Liabilities shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments as in effect at such time and (b) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans of any Tranche and Swingline Loans allocable to such Tranche, plus the aggregate outstanding L/C Liabilities under such Tranche shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Tranche as in effect at such time.

(d) Prepayment of Term B-1 Facility Loans. Any prepayment of Term B-1 Facility Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) made prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date in connection with any Repricing Transaction shall be subject to the fee described in Section 2.05(c).

(e) Outstanding Letters of Credit. If any Letter of Credit is outstanding on the 30th day prior to the R/C Maturity Date for the applicable Tranche of Revolving Commitments which has an expiry date later than the third Business Day preceding such R/C Maturity Date (or which, pursuant to its terms, may be extended to a date later than the third Business Day preceding such R/C Maturity Date), then (i) if one or more Tranches of Revolving Commitments with a R/C Maturity Date after such R/C Maturity Date are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof and the commissions applicable thereto), effective as of such R/C Maturity Date, solely under (and ratably participated by Revolving Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of any one of such non-terminating Tranches of Revolving Commitments designated by Borrower in writing to Administrative Agent, if any, or if only one such non-terminating Tranche of Revolving Commitments exists, such Tranche, up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments under such Tranche at such time, and (ii) to the extent not capable of being reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, Borrower shall, on such 30th day (or on such later day as such Letters of Credit become incapable of being reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above due to the termination, reduction or utilization of any relevant Revolving Commitments), either (x) Cash Collateralize all such

 

-86-

---

Letters of Credit in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit (it being understood that such Cash Collateral shall be released to the extent that the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit is reduced upon the expiration or termination of such Letters of Credit, so that the Cash Collateral shall not exceed the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit outstanding at any particular time) or (y) deliver to the applicable L/C Lender a standby letter of credit (other than a Letter of Credit) in favor of such L/C Lender in a stated amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit, which standby letter of credit shall be in form and substance, and issued by a financially sound financial institution, reasonably acceptable to such L/C Lender and the Administrative Agent. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) above, the occurrence of a R/C Maturity Date shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Lenders of the relevant Tranche in any Letter of Credit issued before such R/C Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that upon the occurrence of any reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) above and, if necessary, the taking of the actions in described clause (ii) above, all participations in Letters of Credit under the terminated Revolving Commitments shall terminate.

SECTION 2.11. Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Borrower shall have the right to either (I) replace any Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) or (II) terminate any Lender’s (the “Terminated Lender”) Commitment and/or repay Loans held by such Terminated Lender, if (x) such Lender is charging Borrower increased costs pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.06 or such Lender becomes incapable of making LIBORSOFR Loans as provided in Section 5.03 when other Lenders are generally able to do so, (y) such Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (z) Borrower receives a notice from any applicable Gaming Authority that any lender is not qualified to make or hold Loans to, or owed by, Borrower under applicable Gaming Laws (and such Lender is notified by Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such disqualification); provided, however, that (1) in the case of a replacement of a Replaced Lender, (i) at the time of any such replacement, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.05(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender or Borrower) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case L/C Interests of, the Replaced Lender (or if the Replaced Lender is being replaced as a result of being a Defaulting Lender, then the Replacement Lender shall acquire all Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans and L/C Interests of such Replaced Lender under one or more Tranches of Revolving Commitments or, at the option of Borrower and such Replacement Lender, all other Loans and Commitments held by such Defaulting Lender), (ii) at the time of any such replacement, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender (other than any Loans not being acquired by a Replacement Lender), (B) all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, in the event Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments owing to such Lender are being repaid and terminated or acquired, as the case may be, and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to the Loans being assigned, as the case may be and (iii) all obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of Replaced Lenders for which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, and other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being acquired by a Replacement Lender, but including any amounts which would be paid to a Lender pursuant to Section 5.05 if Borrower were prepaying a LIBORSOFR Loan), as applicable, shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such replacement, as the case may be or (2) in the case a termination or repayment of a Terminated Lender, (i) at the time of any such termination or repayment, the Terminated Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender, (B) all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, in the event Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments owing to such Lender are being repaid and terminated, and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to the Loans being repaid and (ii) all obligations of Borrower owing to such Terminated Lender shall be paid in full to such Terminated Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such termination or repayment. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreement for a Replaced Lender, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above with respect to such Replaced Lender, as applicable, the receipt of any consents that would be required for an assignment of the subject Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.05, the Replacement Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender, as applicable, shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and be released of all its obligations as a Lender, except with respect to

indemnification provisions applicable to such Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Lender and, in the case of any Replaced Lender, except with respect to Loans, Commitments and L/C Interests of such Replaced Lender not being acquired by the Replacement Lender; provided, that if the applicable Replaced Lender does not execute the Assignment Agreement within three (3) Business Days after Borrower’s request, execution of such Assignment Agreement by the Replaced Lender shall not be required to effect such assignment. Immediately upon any repayment of Loans of a Terminated Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11(a), such Loans repaid or acquired pursuant hereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents (provided, that such purchases and cancellations shall not constitute prepayments or repayments of the Loans for any purpose hereunder (except for purposes of Section 2.09(c))), including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(b) If Borrower receives a notice from any applicable Gaming Authority that any Lender is not qualified to make or hold Loans to, or owed by, Borrower under applicable Gaming Laws (and such Lender is notified by Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such disqualification), Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender with a Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 2.11(a) or prepay the Loans held by such Lender, in each case, in accordance with any applicable provisions of Section 2.11(a), even if a Default or an Event of Default exists (notwithstanding anything contained in such Section 2.11(a) to the contrary). Any such prepayment shall be deemed an optional prepayment, as set forth in Section 2.09 and shall not be required to be made on a pro rata basis with respect to Loans of the same Tranche as the Loans held by such Lender (and in any event shall not be deemed to be a Repricing Transaction). Notice to such Lender shall be given at least ten (10) days before the required date of transfer or prepayment (unless a shorter period is required by any Requirement of Law), as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such transfer or redemption is required pursuant to Gaming Laws. Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with the foregoing, the Replaced Lender shall cooperate with Borrower in effectuating the required transfer or prepayment within the time period set forth in such notice, not to be less than the minimum notice period set forth in the foregoing sentence (unless a shorter period is required under any Requirement of Law). Further, if the transfer or prepayment is triggered by notice from the Gaming Authority that the Lender is disqualified, commencing on the date the Gaming Authority serves the disqualification notice upon Borrower, to the extent prohibited by law: (i) such Lender shall no longer receive any interest on the Loans; (ii) such Lender shall no longer exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any right conferred by the Loans; and (iii) such Lender shall not receive any remuneration in any form from Borrower for services or otherwise in respect of the Loans.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall limit any rights of the Borrower pursuant to Section 13.04(b).

SECTION 2.12. Incremental Loan Commitments.

(a) Borrower Request. Borrower may, at any time, by written notice to Administrative Agent, request (i) the establishment of one or more new Tranches of Revolving Commitments (“New Revolving Commitments” and the related Revolving Loans, “New Revolving Loans”), (ii) an increase to any existing Tranche of Revolving Commitments (“Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments”), (iii) the establishment of additional Term A-5 Facility Loans with terms and conditions identical to the terms and conditions of existing Term A-5 Facility Loans hereunder (“Incremental Term A-5 Loans” and the related commitments, “Incremental Term A-5 Loan Commitments”), (iv) the establishment of additional Term B-1 Facility Loans with terms and conditions identical to the terms and conditions of existing Term B-1 Facility Loans hereunder (“Incremental Term B-1 Loans” and the related commitments, “Incremental Term B-1 Loan Commitments”), and/or (v) the establishment of one or more new Tranches of term loans (“New Term Loans” and the related commitments, “New Term Loan Commitments”); provided, however, that (x) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Revolving Commitments, New Term Loans, Incremental Term A-5 Loans, Incremental Term B-1 Loans and Incremental Equivalent Debt issued or incurred (but excluding any such Incremental Term Loan Commitments that have been terminated prior to such date of determination without being funded) after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date and on or prior to such date shall not exceed the Incremental Loan Amount and (y) any such request for Incremental Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $25.0 million and integral multiples of $1.0 million above such amount. Borrower may request Incremental

Commitments from existing Lenders and from Eligible Assignees; provided, however, that (A) any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide all or any portion of such Incremental Commitments offered to it and (B) any potential Lender that is not an existing Lender and agrees to make available an Incremental Commitment shall be required to be an Eligible Assignee and shall require approval by Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) Incremental Effective Date. The Incremental Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement to this Agreement (the “Incremental Joinder Agreement”) executed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender making or providing such Incremental Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them, subject, however, to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 2.12. The Incremental Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12. Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (each, an “Incremental Effective Date”) of any Incremental Commitments and the final allocation of such Incremental Commitments. The effectiveness of any such Incremental Commitments shall be subject solely to the satisfaction of the following conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent:

(i) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such Incremental Commitments;

(ii) an Incremental Joinder Agreement shall have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender making or providing such Incremental Commitment;

(iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans (and any related Incremental Term Loan Commitments) the proceeds of which are used primarily to fund a Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition not prohibited hereunder (including repayment of Indebtedness of the Person acquired, or that is secured by the assets acquired, in such Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition) substantially concurrently upon the receipt thereof, the absence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower) shall not constitute a condition to the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Loans (and any related Incremental Term Loan Commitments), or the funding of such Incremental Term Loans, unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Term Loan Commitments;

(iv) the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Incremental Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided that, any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on such dates; and provided, further, that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans and related Incremental Term Loan Commitments the proceeds of which are used primarily to fund a Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition not prohibited hereunder (including repayment of Indebtedness of the Person acquired, or that is secured by the assets acquired, in such Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition) substantially concurrently upon the receipt thereof, the only representations and warranties the making of which shall be a condition to the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Loans and related Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the funding of such Incremental Term Loans shall be (except as otherwise agreed by Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Commitments) (x) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8.01(a) (but only with respect to Credit Parties, Holding Companies and RRR), 8.04(a)(i), 8.05 (but only as it relates to the Credit Documents), 8.09, 8.11(b), 8.14 (but only as it relates to security interests that may be perfected solely through the filing of UCC financing statements, filing of intellectual property security agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and United States Copyright Office and delivery of certificated securities collateral representing Equity Interests in United States Persons), 8.17, 8.21 and 8.27 and (y) the representations and warranties contained in the acquisition agreement relating to such Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the

extent that Borrower or any of its Affiliates have the right to terminate its or their obligations under such acquisition agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in such acquisition agreement;

(v) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitments, New Term Loans, Incremental Term A-5 Loans and Incremental Term B-1 Loans, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Required Pro Rata Lenders, Borrower shall be in compliance with the Financial Maintenance Covenants on a Pro Forma Basis as of the most recent Calculation Date (provided that, for such purpose, (w) at the option of Borrower, to the extent that the proceeds of any such Incremental Term Loans (and related Incremental Term Loan Commitments) are or are to be used primarily to fund a Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition not prohibited hereunder (including repayment of Indebtedness of the Person acquired, or that is secured by the assets acquired, in such Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition), such compliance shall be determined on a Pro Forma Basis as of the Calculation Date immediately preceding the date on which a binding contract with respect to such Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition is entered into between Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary and the seller with respect thereto, giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans (and related Incremental Term Loan Commitments) and such Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition as if incurred and consummated on the first day of the applicable period, (x) Consolidated Indebtedness shall treat any Incremental Equivalent Debt as first lien indebtedness, even if such Incremental Equivalent Debt was issued or incurred on an unsecured basis or on a junior basis to the Obligations, and (y) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Equivalent Debt consisting of revolving credit facilities, pro forma effect shall be given to any Incremental Revolving Loans and any loans under any Incremental Equivalent Debt consisting of a revolving credit facility, in each case, to the extent actually made on such date (or in the case of Incremental Equivalent Debt consisting of a revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which are or are to be used primarily to fund a Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition not prohibited hereunder, to the extent reasonably expected to be drawn on the closing date of such Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition), but any proposed Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Equivalent Debt consisting of a revolving credit facility shall not otherwise be treated as drawn);

(vi) in order to receive an initial extension of credit under any Incremental Revolving Commitment, Borrower shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Required Revolving Lenders, be in compliance with the Financial Maintenance Covenants on a Pro Forma Basis as of the most recent Calculation Date prior to such initial extension;

(vii) without the written consent of the Required Tranche Lenders with respect to any Tranches of then-existing Revolving Commitments that have a maturity date after the proposed maturity date of any New Revolving Commitments, the final stated maturity of any New Revolving Commitments shall not be earlier than the then-existing Final Maturity Date with respect to the then-existing Tranches of Revolving Commitments;

(viii) without the written consent of (x) the Required Tranche Lenders with respect to any Tranches of then-existing Term Loans that have a maturity date after the proposed maturity date of any New Term Loans, the final stated maturity of any New Term Loans shall not be earlier than the then-existing Final Maturity Date with respect to any then-existing Tranche of Term Loans, and (y) the Required Tranche Lenders with respect to any Tranches of then-existing Term Loans that have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is longer than the proposed Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any New Term Loans, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then-existing Tranche of Term Loans (without giving effect to the effect of prepayments made under any existing Tranche of Term Loans on amortization); provided that (A) Borrower may establish one or more Tranches of New Term Loans that are “term A loans” such that the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Tranche of New Term Loans may be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then-existing Term B-1 Facility Loans (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any Term A-5 Facility Loans) (without giving effect to the effect of prepayments made under any existing Tranche of Term Loans on amortization) and (B) the maturity date of such Tranche of New Term Loans that are “term A loans” may be earlier than the maturity date of the then-existing Term B-1 Facility Loans (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any Term A-5 Facility Loans); it being understood that, subject to the foregoing, the

amortization schedule applicable to such New Term Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the lenders of such New Term Loans and set forth in applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement;

(ix) the yields and interest rate margins and, except as set forth in clause (viii) of this Section 2.12(b), amortization schedule, applicable to any New Term Loans shall be as determined by Borrower and the holders of such Indebtedness;

(x) except as set forth in Section 2.12(a) and in clauses (i) – (ix) of this Section 2.12(b), the terms applicable to any New Term Loans shall be consistent with those applicable to any then-existing Term Loans; provided that, any applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement may provide for (x) any additional or more or less restrictive covenants that are applicable only after the then-existing Final Maturity Date with respect to any then-existing Term Loans or (y) any other terms that are reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent;

(xi) except as set forth in Section 2.12(a) and in clauses (i) – (vii) of this Section 2.12(b), the terms applicable to any New Revolving Commitments shall be consistent with those applicable to any then-existing Revolving Commitments; provided that, any applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement may provide for (x) any additional or more or less restrictive covenants that are applicable only after the then-existing latest R/C Maturity Date with respect to any then-existing Revolving Commitments or (y) any other terms that are reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent;

(xii) any Incremental Term A-5 Loans and Incremental Term B-1 Loans (and the corresponding Incremental Term Loan Commitments) shall have terms identical to the terms of the existing Term Loans (and the existing Term Loan Commitments) of the relevant Tranche hereunder; provided, however, that upfront fees or original issue discount may be paid to Lenders providing such Incremental Term A-5 Loans or Incremental Term B-1 Loans as agreed by such Lenders and Borrower, and the conditions applicable to the incurrence of such Incremental Term A-5 Loans and Incremental Term B-1 Loans (and the corresponding Incremental Term Loan Commitments) shall be as provided in this Section 2.12; provided, further, that the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement shall make appropriate adjustments to Annex C to address such Incremental Term A-5 Loans or Section 3.01(c) to address such Incremental Term B-1 Loans, as applicable, including such adjustments as are necessary to provide for the “fungibility” of such Incremental Term A-5 Loans with the existing Term A-5 Facility Loans or such Incremental Term B-1 Loans with the existing Term B-1 Facility Loans, as the case may be; and

(xiii) any Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments shall have terms identical to the terms of the existing Revolving Commitments of the relevant Tranche hereunder; provided, however, that upfront fees may be paid to Lenders providing such Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments as agreed by such Lenders and Borrower, and the conditions applicable to the incurrence of such Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be as provided in this Section 2.12.

Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.12, any Person providing an Incremental Commitment that was not a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such time shall become a Lender hereunder. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, and (i) in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Total Revolving Commitments under, and for all purpose of this Agreement, shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitments, (ii) any New Revolving Loans shall be deemed to be additional Revolving Loans hereunder, (iii) any Revolving Loans made under Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be Revolving Loans of the relevant Tranche hereunder, (iv) any Incremental Term A-5 Loans (to the extent funded) shall be deemed to be Term A-5 Facility Loans hereunder, (v) any Incremental Term B-1 Loans (to the extent funded) shall be deemed to be Term B-1 Facility Loans hereunder and (vi) any New Term Loans shall be deemed to be additional Term Loans hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent may (and each of Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent are authorized by each other Secured Party to) execute such amendments and/or amendments and restatements of any Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.12. Such amendments may include provisions allowing any Incremental Term B-1 Loans or New Term Loans to be treated on the same basis as Term B-1 Facility Loans in connection with declining prepayments or allowing any Incremental Term A-5 Loans or New Term Loans that are

 

-91-

---

“term A loans” to be treated on the same basis as Term A-5 Facility Loans in connection with declining prepayments, as applicable. In connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Term A-5 Loans, Borrower shall be permitted to terminate any Interest Period applicable to Term A-5 Facility Loans on the date such Incremental Term A-5 Loans are incurred. In connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Term B-1 Loans, Borrower shall be permitted to terminate any Interest Period applicable to Term B-1 Facility Loans on the date such Incremental Term B-1 Loans are incurred. In connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments and related Revolving Loans, Borrower shall be permitted to terminate any Interest Period applicable to Revolving Loans under the applicable existing Tranche of Revolving Commitments on the date such Revolving Loans are first incurred under such Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments.

(c) Terms of Incremental Commitments and Loans.

(i) Except as set forth herein, the yield applicable to the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of any Incremental Term A-5 Loans, Incremental Term B-1 Loans or New Term Loans, if the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term A-5 Loans, Incremental Term B-1 Loans or New Term Loans is greater than the All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Term B-1 Facility Loans, plus 50 basis points per annum, then the interest rate with respect to the Term B-1 Facility Loans shall be increased (pursuant to the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement) so as to cause the then applicable All-In Yield under this Agreement on the Term B-1 Facility Loans to equal the All-In Yield then applicable to the Incremental Term A-5 Loans, Incremental Term B-1 Loans or New Term Loans, minus 50 basis points.

(ii) Except as set forth herein, the yield applicable to the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be determined by Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement; provided, however, that if the All-In Yield or commitment fees applicable to such Incremental Revolving Commitments (and the Revolving Loans thereunder) is greater than the All- In Yield or commitment fees, respectively, payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Sixth Amendment Revolving Commitments (and the Revolving Loans thereunder), then the interest rate or commitment fees, as applicable, with respect to the Sixth Amendment Revolving Commitments (and the Revolving Loans thereunder), shall be increased (pursuant to the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement) so as to cause the then applicable All-In Yield and commitment fees under this Agreement on the Sixth Amendment Revolving Commitments (and the Revolving Loans thereunder) to equal the All-In Yield and commitment fees, respectively, then applicable to the Incremental Revolving Commitments (and the Revolving Loans thereunder).

(d) Adjustment of Revolving Loans. To the extent the Revolving Commitments of any Tranche are being increased on the relevant Incremental Effective Date through Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments, then each of the Revolving Lenders having a Revolving Commitment under such Tranche prior to such Incremental Effective Date (such Revolving Lenders the “Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders”) shall assign or transfer to any Revolving Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Commitment under such Tranche on the Incremental Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each such Pre-Increase Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Liabilities and Swingline Loans (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the related Revolving Commitments) outstanding under such Tranche on such Incremental Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments or transfers and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Liabilities and Swingline Loans under such Tranche will be held by Pre- Increase Revolving Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments under such Tranche after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments (and after giving effect to any Revolving Loans made under such Tranche on the relevant Incremental Effective Date). Such assignments or transfers and purchases shall be made pursuant to such procedures as may be designated by Administrative Agent and shall not be required to be effectuated in accordance with Section 13.05. For the avoidance of doubt, Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Liabilities and Swingline Loans assigned or transferred and purchased (or re-allocated) pursuant to this Section 2.12(d) shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Post- Increase Revolving Lenders, be deemed to be Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Liabilities and Swingline Loans in respect of the relevant new or additional Revolving Commitments of such Tranche acquired by

 

-92-

---

such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders on the relevant Incremental Effective Date and the terms of such Revolving Loans and participation interests (including, without limitation, the interest rate and maturity applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. In addition, the L/C Sublimit may be increased by an amount not to exceed the amount of any increase in Revolving Commitments with the consent of the applicable L/C Lenders that agreed to provide Letters of Credit under such increase in the L/C Sublimit and the holders of Incremental Revolving Commitments providing such increase in Revolving Commitments.

(e) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties, Holding Companies and RRR shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any Incremental Commitments or the funding of Loans thereunder, including, without limitation, the procurement of title insurance endorsements reasonably requested by and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Incremental Joinder Agreements. An Incremental Joinder Agreement may, subject to Section 2.12(b), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12 (including, without limitation, (A) amendments to Section 2.04(b)(iv) and Section 2.09(b)(i) to permit reductions of Tranches of Revolving Commitments (and prepayments of the related Revolving Loans) with an R/C Maturity Date prior to the R/C Maturity Date applicable to a Tranche of Incremental Revolving Commitments without a concurrent reduction of such Tranche of Incremental Revolving Commitments and (B) such other technical amendments as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to give effect to the terms and provisions of any Incremental Commitments (and any Loans made in respect thereof)).

(g) Supersede. This Section 2.12 shall supersede any provisions in Section 13.04 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.13. Extensions of Loans and Commitments.

(a) Borrower may, at any time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Tranche (an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be modified to constitute another Tranche of Term Loans in order to extend the scheduled final maturity date thereof (any such Term Loans which have been so modified, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.13. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, Borrower shall provide a notice to Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the amortization shall be as set forth in the Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the Applicable Margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche and/or (B) additional fees (including prepayment or termination premiums) may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased Applicable Margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments or prepayment of Term Loans hereunder in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request, (iv) the final maturity date and the scheduled amortization applicable to the Extended Term Loans shall be set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the scheduled amortization of such Existing Term Loan Tranche shall be adjusted to reflect the amortization schedule (including the principal amounts payable pursuant thereto) in respect of the Term Loans under such Existing Term Loan Tranche that have been extended as Extended Term Loans as set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (v) the covenants set forth in Section 10.08 may be modified in a manner acceptable to Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders party to the applicable Extension Amendment,

such modifications to become effective only after the Final Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that each Lender providing Extended Term Loans, by executing an Extension Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 4.02, 4.07(b) or 13.04). Except as provided above, each Lender holding Extended Term Loans shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Section 2.09(b) and 2.10(b) applicable to Term Loans) and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties, Holding Companies and RRR shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension of any Term Loans, including, without limitation, the procurement of title insurance endorsements reasonably requested by and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche modified to constitute Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche and Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were modified.

(b) Borrower may, at any time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of any Tranche (an “Existing Revolving Tranche” and any related Revolving Loans thereunder, “Existing Revolving Loans”) be modified to constitute another Tranche of Revolving Commitments in order to extend the termination date thereof (any such Revolving Commitments which have been so modified, “Extended Revolving Commitments” and any related Revolving Loans, “Extended Revolving Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.13. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall provide a notice to Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Revolving Tranche) (a “Revolving Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Tranche from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled termination date of the Extended Revolving Commitments and the related scheduled maturity date of the related Extended Revolving Loans shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the Applicable Margins with respect to the Extended Revolving Loans may be higher or lower than the Applicable Margins for the Revolving Loans of such Existing Revolving Tranche and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased Applicable Margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) the Applicable Fee Percentage with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the Applicable Fee Percentage for the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolving Tranche, (iv) the covenants set forth in Section 10.08 may be modified in a manner acceptable to Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders party to the applicable Extension Amendment, such modifications to become effective only after the Final Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment and (v) the L/C Commitments of any L/C Lender that is providing such Extended Revolving Commitments may be extended and the L/C Sublimit may be increased, subject to clause (d) below (it being understood that each Lender providing Extended Revolving Commitments, by executing an Extension Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 4.02, 4.07(b) or 13.04). Except as provided above, each Lender holding Extended Revolving Commitments shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Sections 2.09(b) and 2.10(b) applicable to existing Revolving Loans) and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties, Holding Companies and RRR shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension of any Revolving Commitments, including, without limitation, the procurement of title insurance endorsements reasonably requested by and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Commitments of any Existing Revolving Tranche modified to constitute Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Revolving Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Commitments of any Extension Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche and Class of Revolving Commitments from the Existing Revolving Tranche from which they were modified. If, on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Existing Revolving Tranche, such Revolving Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Loans (and related participations) and Existing Revolving Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such

Extending Lender’s Extended Revolving Commitments bear to its remaining Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Tranche.

(c) Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Tranche are requested to respond (or such shorter period as is agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request modified to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche that it has elected to modify to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Elections shall be modified to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments included in such Extension Elections. Borrower shall have the right to withdraw any Extension Request upon written notice to Administrative Agent in the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request is less than the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to such Extension Request.

(d) Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit Q or Exhibit R to this Agreement, as applicable, or, in each case, such other form as is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent). Each Extension Amendment shall be executed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders (it being understood that such Extension Amendment shall not require the consent of any Lender other than (A) the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, established thereby, (B) with respect to any extension of the Revolving Commitments that results in an extension of an L/C Lender’s obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, the consent of such L/C Lender and (C) with respect to any extension of the Revolving Commitments that results in an extension of the Swingline Lender’s obligations with respect to Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender). An Extension Amendment may, subject to Sections 2.13(a) and (b), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13 (including, without limitation, (A) amendments to Section 2.04(b)(iii) and Section 2.09(b)(i) to permit reductions of Tranches of Revolving Commitments (and prepayments of the related Revolving Loans) with an R/C Maturity Date prior to the R/C Maturity Date applicable to a Tranche of Extended Revolving Commitments without a concurrent reduction of such Tranche of Extended Revolving Commitments and (B) such other technical amendments as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to give effect to the terms and provisions of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable).

SECTION 2.14. Defaulting Lender Provisions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) the L/C Liabilities and the participations in outstanding Swingline Loan of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Tranche pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments of the applicable Tranche; provided that (i) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Revolving Exposure may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Tranche Exposure may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Tranche of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (ii) subject to Section 13.21, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim Borrower, Administrative Agent, any L/C Lender, the

 

-95-

---

Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender and (iii) the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time);

(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “un-reallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s L/C Liabilities and participations in outstanding Swingline Loan cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (a) above or otherwise, Borrower will, not later than three (3) Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent (at the direction of any L/C Lender and/or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be), (i) Cash Collateralize the obligations of Borrower to the L/C Lender and the Swingline Lender in respect of such L/C Liabilities or participations in outstanding Swingline Loans, as the case may be, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the un-reallocated portion of such L/C Liabilities or participations in any outstanding Swingline Loans, or (ii) in the case of such participations in any outstanding Swingline Loans, prepay (subject to clause (c) below) and/or Cash Collateralize in full the un-reallocated portion thereof, or (iii) make other arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and to the applicable L/C Lender and the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender;

(iii) Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.05(a); and

(iv) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 11 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.07 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent or requested by the applicable L/C Lender or Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or any Swingline Loan, as applicable; fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Lender or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Lender or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Liabilities in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Liabilities owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Liabilities owed to, such Defaulting Lender. 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 or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(iv) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent, each L/C Lender and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative 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

(which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.14(a)), (x) such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Exposure, L/C Liabilities and participations in any outstanding Swingline Loans of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Tranches, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non- Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender, and (y) all Cash Collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall thereafter be promptly returned to Borrower.

(c) Certain Fees. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.05 or Section 2.03(h) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that (i) to the extent that all or a portion of the L/C Liability or the participations in outstanding Swingline Loans of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14, such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (ii) to the extent that all or any portion of such L/C Liability or participations in any outstanding Swingline Loans cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the L/C Lender and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, except to the extent of any un-reallocated portion that is Cash Collateralized (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 4.02 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section 2.14(c)).

SECTION 2.15. Refinancing Amendments.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, Borrower may obtain Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans), in the form of Other Term Loans, Other Term Loan Commitments, Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. Each issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under this Section 2.15(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $5.0 million and (y) an integral multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof.

(b) The effectiveness of any such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be subject solely to the satisfaction of the following conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent: (i) any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Revolving Commitments or Other Revolving Commitments will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) being refinanced; (ii) any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Term Loans will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, the Term Loans being refinanced (determined without giving effect to the impact of prepayments on amortization of Term Loans being refinanced); (iii) the aggregate principal amount of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall not exceed the principal amount so refinanced, plus, accrued interest, plus, any premium or other payment required to be paid in connection with such refinancing, plus, the amount of reasonable and customary fees and expenses of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurred in connection with such refinancing, plus, any unutilized commitments thereunder; (iv) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of customary legal opinions and other documents; (v) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, execution of amendments to the Mortgages by the applicable Credit Parties and Collateral Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent; (vi) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, delivery to the Administrative Agent of title insurance endorsements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and (vii) execution of a Refinancing Amendment by the Credit Parties, Administrative Agent and Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness.

(c) The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties, Holding Companies and RRR shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the applicable Refinancing Amendment.

(d) Upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment pursuant to this Section 2.15, any Person providing the corresponding Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness that was not a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such time shall become a Lender hereunder. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of such Refinancing Amendment, and (i) in the case of any Other Revolving Commitments resulting from such Refinancing Amendment, the Total Revolving Commitments under, and for all purpose of this Agreement, shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Other Revolving Commitments (net of any existing Revolving Commitments being refinanced by such Refinancing Amendment), (ii) any Other Revolving Loans resulting from such Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed to be additional Revolving Loans hereunder, (iii) any Other Term Loans resulting from such Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed to be Term Loans hereunder (to the extent funded) and (iv) any Other Term Loan Commitments resulting from such Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed to be Term Loan Commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent may (and each of Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent are authorized by each other Secured Party to) execute such amendments and/or amendments and restatements of any Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.15. Such amendments may include provisions allowing any Other Term Loans to be treated on the same basis as Term B-1 Facility Loans in connection with declining prepayments.

(e) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Term Loan Commitments, Other Revolving Loans and/or Other Revolving Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15. This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.02, 4.07(b) or 13.04 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.16. Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Without limiting any other requirements herein to provide Cash Collateral, if (i) any L/C Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an extension of credit hereunder which has not been refinanced as a Revolving Loan or reimbursed, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.03(d) or (ii) Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 11.01, Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day (in the case of clause (i) above) or immediately (in the case of clause (ii) above) following any request by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Lender, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Lenders and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as Cash Collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral (including Cash Collateral provided in accordance with Sections 2.01(e), 2.03, 2.10(b)(ii), 2.10(c), 2.10(e), 2.14, 2.16 or 11.01) may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person prior to the right or claim of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash

Collateral provided by any Defaulting Lenders). All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent or as otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent. Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral in accordance with the account agreement governing such deposit account.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections 2.01(e), 2.03, 2.10(c), 2.10(e), 2.14 or 11.01 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Liabilities, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation), participations in Swingline Loans and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce un-reallocated portions or to secure other obligations shall, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable un-reallocated portion or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, the assignment of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and Commitments to a Replacement Lender)) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Lenders that there exists excess Cash Collateral (which, in any event, shall exist at any time that the aggregate amount of Cash Collateral exceeds the Minimum Collateral Amount); provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Credit Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Credit Documents, and (y) Borrower and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated un-reallocated portions or other obligations.

(a) Borrower hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made or maintained by such Lender to Borrower for the period from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full at the following rates per annum:

(i) during such periods as such Loan (including each Swingline Loan) is an ABR Loan, the Alternate Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loan, and

(ii) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBORSOFR Loan, for each Interest Period relating thereto, the LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR for such Loan for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loan.

(b) To the extent permitted by Law:

(i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 11.01(b), 11.01(c), 11.01(g) or Section 11.01(h), all Obligations shall automatically and without any action by any Person, bear interest at the Default Rate; and

(ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, at the written direction of the Required Lenders, all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Interest which accrues under this paragraph shall be payable on demand.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of each ABR Loan (including Swingline Loans), (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding ABR Loans of any Tranche of Loans (or of any Swingline Loan) (but only on the principal amount so repaid or prepaid), and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in the case of each LIBORSOFR Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment thereof or the conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or converted) and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to Borrower.

(d) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Term SOFR Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Term SOFR Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Term SOFR Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

(d) If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension at the rate then borne by such principal.

SECTION 4.02. Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing of Loans of a particular Class from the Lenders under Section 2.01 shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.05 in respect of Commitments of a particular Class shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.04 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04, LIBORSOFR Loans of any Class having the same Interest Period shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments and Term Loan Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Revolving Loans and Term Loans (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (c) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09(b), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 13.04 or Section 13.05(d), each payment or prepayment of principal of any Class of Revolving Loans or of any particular Class of Term Loans shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid outstanding principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (d) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09(b), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 13.04 or Section 13.05(d), each payment of interest on Revolving

SECTION 4.03. Computations. Interest on LIBORSOFR Loans, commitment fees and Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such amounts are payable and interest on ABR Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such amounts are payable.

SECTION 4.04. Minimum Amounts. Except for mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10 and conversions or prepayments made pursuant to Section 5.04, and Borrowings made to pay Reimbursement Obligations, each Borrowing, conversion and partial prepayment of principal of Loans shall be in an amount at least equal to (a) in the case of Term Loans, $5.0 million with respect to ABR Loans and $5.0 million with respect to LIBORSOFR Loans and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining Term Loans and (b) in the case of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, $2.5 million with respect to ABR Loans and $2.5 million with respect to LIBORSOFR Loans and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (borrowings, conversions or prepayments of or into Loans of different Types or, in the case of LIBORSOFR Loans, having different Interest Periods at the same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings, conversions and prepayments for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type or Interest Period) or, if less, the remaining Revolving Loans. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal amount of LIBORSOFR Loans having the same Interest Period shall be in an amount at least equal to $1.0 million and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and, if any LIBORSOFR Loans or portions thereof would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans or portions, as the case may be, shall be ABR Loans during such period.

SECTION 4.05. Certain Notices. Notices by Borrower to Administrative Agent (or, in the case of repayment of the Swingline Loans, to the Swingline Lender) of terminations or reductions of the Commitments, of Borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Loans and of Classes of Loans, of Types of Loans and of the duration of Interest Periods shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender) by telephone not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time (promptly followed by written notice via facsimile or electronic mail), on at least the number of Business Days or U.S. Government Securities Business Days, as applicable, prior to the date of the relevant termination, reduction, Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment or the first day of such Interest Period specified in the table below (unless otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), provided that Borrower may make any such notice conditional upon the occurrence of a Person’s acquisition or sale or any incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of Equity Interests.

NOTICE PERIODS

 

Notice		Number of Business Days or U.S. Government Securities Business Days Prior
Termination or reduction of Commitments		3 Business Days

-102-

---

Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount and the Class of the Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each such notice of Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment shall specify the Class of Loans to be borrowed, converted, continued or prepaid and the amount (subject to Section 4.04) and Type of each Loan to be borrowed, converted, continued or prepaid and the date of borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Each such notice of the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of each such notice. In the event that Borrower fails to select the Type of Loan within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBORSOFR Loan) will be automatically converted into an ABR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (if outstanding as an ABR Loan) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, an ABR Loan. In the event that Borrower has elected to borrow or convert Loans into LIBORSOFR Loans but fails to select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBORSOFR Loans within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such LIBORSOFR Loan shall have an Interest Period of one month.

SECTION 4.06. Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent.

(a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBORSOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of ABR Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or L/C Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

SECTION 4.07. Right of Setoff, Sharing of Payments; Etc.

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of such Credit Party at any of its offices, in Dollars

 

-103-

---

or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness is then due to such Credit Party), in which case it shall promptly notify such Credit Party thereof; provided, however, that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof; and provided further that no such right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim shall apply to any funds held for further distribution to any Governmental Authority.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive (other than pursuant to Section 2.09(b), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.11, Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.15, Article V, Section 13.04 or Section 13.05(d) or as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Engagement Letters) any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents (including any guarantee), or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or fees, the sum of which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such amounts then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such amounts then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower consents to the foregoing arrangements.

(c) Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may exercise all rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any Credit Party, Holding Company or RRR. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 4.07 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 4.07 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.07, in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, each L/C Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

ARTICLE V.

YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

SECTION 5.01. Additional Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note, any Letter of Credit or any Lender’s participation therein, any L/C Document or any Loan made by it, any deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof by any Governmental Authority (except for any Covered Taxes or Excluded Taxes);

 

-104-

---

(ii) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender, in each case, that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO RateTerm SOFR hereunder; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBORSOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to materially increase the cost to such Lender or L/C Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBORSOFR Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make any LIBORSOFR Loans) or issuing, maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit (or maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), then, in any such case, Borrower shall, within 10 days of written demand therefor, pay such Lender or L/C Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Lender for such increased cost. If any Lender or L/C Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify Borrower, through Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) A certificate as to any additional amounts setting forth the calculation of such additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.01 submitted by such Lender or L/C Lender, through Administrative Agent, to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. Without limiting the survival of any other covenant hereunder, this Section 5.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other Obligations payable hereunder.

(c) In the event that any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or the Lender’s holding company with regard to capital or liquidity requirements, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, the Commitments of such Lender, the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans held by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the affected Lender and the basis for such request), Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs incurred or reductions suffered and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 5.02. Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: (a) Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Base RateAdjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period or (b) Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that Dollar deposits are not available in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period available to the Required Lenders in the London interbank market or (c) the Required Lenders determine that the LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBORSOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such LIBORSOFR Loans (in each case, “Impacted Loans”), Administrative Agent shall give electronic mail or telephonic notice thereof to Borrower and the

 

-105-

---

Lenders as soon as practicable thereof. If such notice is given, (x) any LIBORSOFR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBORSOFR Loans shall be converted to, or continued as, ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding LIBORSOFR Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent agrees to do if the circumstances giving rise to such notice cease to exist), no further LIBORSOFR Loans shall be made, or continued as such, nor shall Borrower have the right to convert Loans to, LIBORSOFR Loans.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there are Impacted Loans as provided above, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans (to the extent Borrower does not elect to maintain such Impacted Loans as ABR Loans) until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans (which the Administrative Agent agrees to do if the circumstances giving rise to Impacted Loans cease to exist), (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and Borrower written notice thereof.

SECTION 5.03. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any change after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBORSOFR Loans or issue Letters of Credit hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBORSOFR Loans or issue Letters of Credit shall be suspended until such time as such Lender or L/C Lender may again make and maintain LIBORSOFR Loans or issue Letters of Credit (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable).

SECTION 5.04. Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBORSOFR Loans or to continue, or to convert ABR Loans into, LIBORSOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.03, such Lender’s LIBORSOFR Loans shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such LIBORSOFR Loans (or on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent as is required by law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.03 which gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBORSOFR Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBORSOFR Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans; and

(ii) all Loans which would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as LIBORSOFR Loans shall be made or continued instead as ABR Loans and all ABR Loans of such Lender which would otherwise be converted into LIBORSOFR Loans shall remain as ABR Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 5.03 which gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s LIBORSOFR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBORSOFR Loans are outstanding, such Lender’s ABR Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBORSOFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBORSOFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 5.05. Compensation.

(a) Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense (excluding any loss of profits or margin) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (1) default by Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBORSOFR Loan, (2) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBORSOFR Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (3) Borrower making any prepayment other than on the date specified in the relevant prepayment notice, or (4) the conversion or the making of a payment or a prepayment (including any repayments or prepayments made pursuant to Sections 2.09 or 2.10 or as a result of an acceleration of Loans pursuant to Section 11.01 or as a result of the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 or 13.04(b)) of LIBORSOFR Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including in each case, any such loss (excluding any loss of profits or margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that no such amounts under this Section 5.05(a) shall be payable by Borrower in connection with any termination in accordance with Section 2.12(b) of any Interest Period of one month or shorter.

(b) For the purpose of calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 5.05 each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBO Base Rate in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. Any Lender requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 5.05 will furnish to Administrative Agent and Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of such request and such certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive. Without limiting the survival of any other covenant hereunder, this covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 5.06. Net Payments.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 5.06(a), all payments made by any Credit Party, each Holding Company and RRR hereunder or under any Note or any Guarantee will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as required by law, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority or taxing authority with respect to such payments (including Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section). If any Covered Taxes are so deducted or withheld, then the applicable Credit Party, each Holding Company and RRR agrees to increase the sum payable by such Credit Party, each Holding Company or RRR so that, after such deduction or withholding (including such deduction or withholding on account of Covered Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), such payment will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such other Credit Document. The applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the amount of any Taxes deducted or withheld from a payment made by a Credit Party, each Holding Company or RRR hereunder or under any note or any Guarantee to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment by the applicable Credit Party, each Holding Company or RRR. The Credit Parties, each Holding Company and RRR agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Covered Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender (including Covered Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section) and for any other reasonable expenses arising therefrom, in each case, whether or not such Covered Taxes were correctly or legally imposed. Such written request shall include a certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such request and such certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive.

(b) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by

 

-107-

---

Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 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 5.06(b)(ii), (c), and (d) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. If Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver two executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Otherwise, Administrative Agent (including any successor Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person) shall deliver two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (for all other payments) certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Credit Parties to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments (and the Credit Parties and Administrative Agent agree to so treat Administrative Agent as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments), with the effect that the Credit Parties can make payments to Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States.

(ii) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees to the extent it is legally entitled to do so to deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the Sixth Amendment Effective Date or, in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.05 (unless the assigned or transferee Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and was in compliance with this Section 5.06(b) as of the date of such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 together with any applicable attachments certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to exemption from or reduction in the rate of United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Guarantee, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E (any such certificate, a “Foreign Lender Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code. Each Non-U.S. Lender, to the extent it is not the beneficial owner, shall deliver to Administrative Agent and to Borrower, on or prior to the Sixth Amendment Effective Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof), on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), or on such later date when such Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower or Administrative Agent, (i) two original copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender under this Section 5.06(b), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account and is not subject to United States withholding tax, and (ii) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1, D-2 or D-3, as applicable, and/or any other certification documents from each beneficial owner. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 and, as applicable, a Foreign Lender Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required by applicable law in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note or any Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be required to deliver any such form or certificate if a change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form or certificate inapplicable or would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or certificate with respect to it and such Lender so advises Borrower.

(c) Each Lender that is a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver at the time(s) and in the manner(s) prescribed by applicable law, to Borrower and Administrative

 

-108-

---

Agent (as applicable), a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor form, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States backup withholding Tax on payments made hereunder.

(d) If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 5.06(d), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(e) In addition, Borrower agrees to (and shall timely) pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other similar charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery, filing, recordation or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(f) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.06 agrees to use (at the Credit Parties’ expense) reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such change would avoid the need for, or in the opinion of such Lender, materially reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g) If (i) Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a cash refund in respect of an overpayment of Taxes from a Governmental Authority with respect to, and actually resulting from, an amount of Taxes actually paid to or on behalf of Administrative Agent or such Lender by Borrower or any other Credit Party, each Holding Company or RRR (a “Tax Benefit”) and (ii) Administrative Agent or such Lender determines in its good faith sole discretion that such Tax Benefit has been correctly paid by such Governmental Authority, and will not be required to be repaid to such Governmental Authority, then Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify Borrower of such Tax Benefit and forward the proceeds of such Tax Benefit (or relevant portion thereof) to Borrower as reduced by any reasonable expense or liability incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with obtaining such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5.06(g) shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Taxes had never been paid.

(h) For purposes of this Section 5.06, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

ARTICLE VI.

SECTION 6.01. The Guarantees. Each (a) Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby guarantees as primary obligor and not as surety to each Secured Party and its successors and assigns the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, Borrower, and (b) Credit Party, jointly and severally with each other Credit Party, hereby guarantees as primary obligor and not as surety to each Secured Party and its successors

and assigns the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code) of all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any other Credit Party under any Credit Document, any Swap Contract entered into with a Swap Provider or any Cash Management Agreement entered into with a Cash Management Bank, in each case now or hereinafter created, incurred or made, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated and strictly in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, that (i) the obligations guaranteed shall exclude obligations under any Swap Contract or Cash Management Agreements with respect to which the applicable Swap Provider or Cash Management Bank, as applicable, provides notice to Borrower that it does not want such Swap Contract or Cash Management Agreement, as applicable, to be secured, and (ii) as to each Guarantor the obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligations in respect of such Guarantor (such obligations being guaranteed pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations” (it being understood that the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower shall be limited to those referred to in clause (b) above)). Each Credit Party, jointly and severally with each other Credit Party, hereby agrees that if any other Credit Party shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, such Credit Party will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

SECTION 6.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Credit Parties under Section 6.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment (and not of collection) and are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (except for Payment in Full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any of the Credit Parties with respect to its respective guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Credit Parties, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(iii) the release of any other Credit Party pursuant to Section 6.08;

(iv) any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Credit Documents;

(v) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

-110-

---

(vi) any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any subordination of the Guaranteed Obligations to any other obligations;

(vii) the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or lien, the release of any or all collateral securing, or purporting to secure, the Guaranteed Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral;

(viii) any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations) at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Credit Party would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, each Credit Party hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Credit Party as a surety under applicable law, including, without limitation, California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2939, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2855, 2899 and 3433; or

(ix) any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Credit Party as a guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Credit Party as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Credit Party under the guarantee contained in this Article 6 or of any security interest granted by any Credit Party in its capacity as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar law, or in any other instance.

The Credit Parties hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, marshaling and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party thereof exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Credit Party under this Agreement, the Notes, the Swap Contracts or the Cash Management Agreements or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Credit Parties waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party thereof upon this guarantee or acceptance of this guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this guarantee, and all dealings between the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guarantee. This guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against any Credit Party or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Credit Parties and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.02 shall permit amendments to the Credit Documents or an acceleration of the Obligations other than as set forth in the Credit Documents.

SECTION 6.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Credit Parties under this Article VI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable

 

-111-

---

costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Secured Party in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, other than any costs or expenses resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach by, such Secured Party.

SECTION 6.04. Subrogation; Subordination. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 6.01, whether by subrogation, contribution or otherwise, against any Credit Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Credit Party now or hereafter owing to any Credit Party by reason of any payment by such Credit Party under the Guarantee in this Article VI is hereby subordinated to the prior Payment in Full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Credit Party agrees that it will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any other Credit Party to such Credit Party until the Obligations shall have been Paid in Full in cash. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any amounts are paid to the Credit Parties in violation of the foregoing limitation, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Party as trustee for the Secured Parties and be paid over to Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of such Credit Party under the other provisions of the guaranty contained herein.

SECTION 6.05. Remedies. The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree that, as between the Credit Parties and the Lenders, the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement and the Notes may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article XI (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article XI) for purposes of Section 6.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable arising under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other law providing for protection from creditors) as against such other Credit Parties and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the other Credit Parties for purposes of Section 6.01.

SECTION 6.06. Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VI is a continuing guarantee of payment and performance, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

SECTION 6.07. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Credit Party under Section 6.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 6.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Credit Party, any Secured Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

SECTION 6.08. Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents, (i) the Equity Interests of any Guarantor are directly or indirectly sold or otherwise transferred such that such Guarantor no longer constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a Person or Persons, none of which is Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary is designated as or becomes an Unrestricted Subsidiary, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, Transferred Guarantor, and upon such designation, such Person so designated or which becomes such an Unrestricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 13.03 hereof) and the other Credit Documents, and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document, and the pledge of Equity Interests in any Transferred Guarantor or any Unrestricted Subsidiary to Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be automatically released, and, so long as Borrower shall have provided the Agents such certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request, Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect and evidence each release described in this Section 6.08 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents and this Agreement.

SECTION 6.09. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under the Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 6.09 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 6.09, or otherwise under the Guarantee, as it relates to such Credit Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 6.09 constitute, and this Section 6.09 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 6.10. Right of Contribution. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that to the extent that a Credit Party (a “Funding Credit Party”) shall have paid more than its Fair Share (as defined below) of any payment made hereunder, such Credit Party shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Credit Party hereunder which has not paid its Fair Share of such payment. Each Credit Party’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.04. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to the Secured Parties, and each Credit Party shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Credit Party hereunder. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (A) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Credit Party to (B) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Amounts with respect to all Credit Parties multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Credit Parties under this Article VI in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. “Adjusted Maximum Amount” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Credit Party under this Article VI; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the “Adjusted Maximum Amount” with respect to any Credit Party for purposes of this Section 6.10, any assets or liabilities of such Credit Party arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Credit Party. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Credit Party.

Except as set forth on Schedule 8.07, as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, no member of the ERISA Group maintains or contributes to any Pension Plan. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.07, each Company is in compliance with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan (other than to the extent such failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).

There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of Borrower, threatened against Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any ERISA Entity with respect to any Foreign Plan that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 10.08. Financial Covenants. Solely for the benefit of the Lenders under each Revolving Facility and the Term A Facility, the Term A-3 Facility and the Term A-4 Facility, without the consent of the Required Pro Rata Lenders:

(a) Maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. Borrower shall not permit the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of Borrower commencing with (i) the first fiscal quarter ending after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date through the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021 to exceed 6.50 to 1.00, (ii) the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 to exceed 6.25 to 1.00, (iii) the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022 and each fiscal quarter thereafter through and including the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022 to exceed 6.00 to 1.00, (iv) the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022 and each fiscal quarter thereafter through and including the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023 to exceed 5.75 to 1.00, (v) fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023 and each fiscal quarter thereafter through and including the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023 to exceed 5.50 to 1.00 and (vi) the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023 and each fiscal quarter thereafter to exceed 5.25 to 1.00.

For purposes of this Section 10.08(a), the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated by (i) deducting the amount of Unrestricted Cash from clause (a) thereof and (ii) deducting the outstanding principal amount of Designated Junior Indebtedness from clause (a) thereof (to the extent such Designated Junior Indebtedness was otherwise included in the calculation of such clause (a)) (a “Designated Junior Indebtedness Deduction”); provided that, if the applicable Subsidiary (if not a Credit Party) does not distribute all Designated Junior Indebtedness Principal Proceeds (as defined below) to a Credit Party within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof by such Subsidiary, then for each prior Test Period for which a Designated Junior Indebtedness Deduction was made, the Borrower shall recalculate

 

-149-

the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio without giving effect to such Designated Junior Indebtedness Deduction, and if such recalculated Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for any Test Period does not comply with the requirements of Section 10.08(a) for such Test Period, then an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the applicable testing date with respect to such prior Test Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, when determining compliance with this Section 10.08(a) on a Pro Forma Basis for purposes of clause (a) of the definition of “Permitted Acquisition” or Sections 9.12(a)(iii), 9.12(b)(ii) or 10.01(n)(ii), the amount of Unrestricted Cash and Designated Junior Indebtedness shall not be so deducted.

As used in this Section 10.08(a) and in Annex B, “Designated Junior Indebtedness Principal Proceeds” shall mean all cash, Cash Equivalents, proceeds and other property of any kind actually received by the applicable Subsidiary in respect of such Designated Junior Indebtedness, whether upon receipt of any payment made in respect thereof (whether by amortization, redemption, payment at maturity, voluntary prepayment, mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise), upon any sale, transfer, or other disposition of such Designated Junior Indebtedness or any other realization or recovery event with respect to such Designated Junior Indebtedness (net of reasonable fees and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith).

(b) Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. Borrower shall not permit the Interest Coverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of Borrower commencing with the first complete fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date to be less than 2.50 to 1.00.

For the avoidance of doubt, only the consent of the Required Pro Rata Lenders shall be required to (and only the Required Pro Rata Lenders, shall have the ability to) amend, waive or modify the covenants set forth in this Section 10.08 (including any amendment or modification of defined terms used in this Section 10.08) or pursuant to Section 13.04(a)(vii) waive any Default or Event of Default arising under this Section 10.08.

then, and in every such event (other than (i) an event described in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower and (ii) a Financial Covenant Event of Default unless the Revolving Loans, the Term A-3 Facility Loans, the Term A-4 Facility Loans and/or Term A Facility Loans have been accelerated, and the Revolving Commitments, the Term A-3 Facility Commitments, the Term A-4 Facility Commitments and/or the Term A Facility Commitments have been terminated, in each case, by the Required Pro Rata Lenders pursuant to the final paragraph of this Section 11.01), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments, (ii) declare the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued fees and all other liabilities and Obligations of Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Credit Document (other than Swap Contracts and Cash Management Agreements), shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Credit Document (other than Swap Contracts and Cash Management Agreements) to the contrary notwithstanding; (iii) exercise any other right or remedy provided under the Credit Documents or at law or in equity and (iv) direct Borrower to pay (and Borrower hereby agrees upon receipt of such notice, or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower, to pay) to Collateral Agent at the Principal Office such additional amounts of cash, to be held as security by Collateral Agent for L/C Liabilities then outstanding, equal to the aggregate L/C Liabilities then outstanding; and in any event described in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) above with respect to Borrower, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued fees and all other liabilities and Obligations of Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Credit Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding. The applicability of this Section 11.01 to RRR is subject to the operation of Section 13.20.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period during which a Financial Covenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may with the consent of, and shall at the request of, the Required Pro Rata Lenders take any of the foregoing actions described in the immediately preceding paragraph solely as they relate to the Revolving Lenders, Term A-3 Facility Lenders, the Term A-4 Facility Lenders or Term A Facility Lenders (versus the Lenders), the Revolving Commitments, Term A-3 Facility Commitments, the Term A-4 Facility Commitments and/or Term A Facility Commitments (versus the Commitments), the Revolving Loans, the Swingline Loans, the

SECTION 11.02. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by Collateral Agent of its remedies, or otherwise received after acceleration of the Loans, shall be applied, in full or in part, together with any other sums then held by Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, promptly by Collateral Agent as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in connection therewith and all amounts for which Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of any Credit Document;

(b) Second, to the payment of all other reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization and of any receiver of any part of the Collateral appointed pursuant to the applicable Security Documents including compensation to the other Secured Parties and their agents and counsel and all costs, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the other Secured Parties in connection therewith;

(c) Third, without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash, pro rata, of the Obligations;

(d) Fourth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Lenders, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Liabilities comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; and

(e) Fifth, the balance, if any, to the Person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Credit Party or its successors or assigns) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses (a) through (c) of this Section 11.02, the Credit Parties shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Credit Swap Contracts shall be excluded from the application described above if Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Swap Provider, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Swap Provider not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XII hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

SECTION 11.03. Borrower’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.01, in the event of any Event of Default under any covenant set forth in Section 10.08 and until the expiration of the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter hereunder, RRR, the Holding Companies and Borrower may engage in a Permitted Equity Issuance (provided, that in the event a Holding Company or RRR engages in a Permitted Equity Issuance in connection with a cure made under this Section, such Holding Company or RRR makes a capital contribution of the proceeds thereof to Borrower) and Borrower may apply the amount of the Equity Issuance Proceeds thereof to increase Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter (such fiscal quarter, a “Default Quarter”); provided that such Equity Issuance Proceeds (i) are actually received by Borrower (including through capital contribution of such Equity Issuance Proceeds by Holdco or RRR to the Borrower) no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such Default Quarter hereunder, and (ii) do not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cause Borrower to be in compliance with Section 10.08 for the applicable period (but, for such purpose, not taking into account any repayment of Indebtedness in connection therewith required pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(v)); provided further, that Borrower, RRR and the Holding Companies shall not be permitted to engage in any more than (A) two Permitted Equity

 

-157-

---

Issuances pursuant to this Section 11.03 in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters or (B) five Permitted Equity Issuances pursuant to this Section 11.03 during the term of this Agreement. The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 11.03 may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than as applicable to Section 10.08 and shall not result in any adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA other than for purposes of compliance with Section 10.08 on the last day of a given Test Period (and not, for avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining pricing, any basket sizes, the permissibility of any transaction or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with Section 10.08 for any other purposes of this Agreement).

ARTICLE XII.

AGENTS

SECTION 12.01. Appointment. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Deutsche Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including as “trustee” or “mortgage trustee” under the Ship Mortgages), and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, in accordance with regulatory requirements of any Gaming Authority consistent with the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Deutsche Bank is hereby appointed Auction Manager hereunder, and each Lender hereby authorizes the Auction Manager to act as its agent in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Credit Documents; provided, that Borrower shall have the right to select and appoint a replacement Auction Manager from time to time by written notice to Administrative Agent, and any such replacement shall also be so authorized to act in such capacity. Each Lender agrees that the Auction Manager shall have solely the obligations in its capacity as the Auction Manager as are specifically described in this Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefits of Article XII, as applicable. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each of the Agents (other than the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Auction Manager) to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party, any Holding Company or RRR shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Article XII, except to the extent set forth in this Section 12.01, Section 12.06 and Section 12.07(b). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Each references in this Article XII to the Collateral Agent shall include the Collateral Agent in its capacity as “trustee” or “mortgage trustee” under the Ship Mortgages.

SECTION 12.02. Rights as a Lender. Any Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as such Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 12.03. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, and each Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties with respect to any Credit Party, any Holding Company, RRR, any Lender or any other Person, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

-158-

---

(b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 13.04) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender.

No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VII or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” orAdjusted Term SOFR” or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto.

Each of the Lenders (and each Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) acknowledges that Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may act as the representative of other classes of indebtedness under the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 12.04. Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent

 

-159-

---

accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 12.05. Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that an Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 12.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of their resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower has occurred and is continuing) to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent gives notice of their resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders and Borrower (unless an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower has occurred and is continuing)) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Secured Party directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such

 

-160-

---

successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, their sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

(d) Any resignation by Deutsche Bank as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Lender and Swingline Lender. If Deutsche Bank resigns as an L/C Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Lender hereunder with respect to all of its Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Lender and all L/C Liability with respect thereto, including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Sections 2.03(e) and (f). If any Lender resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(e)(iv). Upon the appointment by Borrower of a successor L/C Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring L/C Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit of the retiring L/C Lender, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

SECTION 12.07. Nonreliance on Agents and Other Lenders.

Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent 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 Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (x) resulting from the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (y) relating to or arising out of the Engagement Letters. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section 12.08 shall survive the payment of all Obligations.

SECTION 12.09. No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agents or Lead Arrangers shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, an L/C Lender, the Swingline Lender, the Auction Manager or a Lender hereunder.

SECTION 12.10. Holders. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with Administrative Agent.

SECTION 12.11. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, any Holding Company or RRR, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on 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, L/C Liabilities 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 Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under Sections 2.03, 2.05 and 13.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(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 (and each Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03, 2.05 and 13.03.

SECTION 12.12. Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender (and each other Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Secured Parties and to hold and enforce the Liens on the Collateral on behalf of the Secured Parties. Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. The Lenders hereby authorize Collateral Agent to take the actions set forth in Section 13.04(g). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.12.

(b) Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders, the other Secured Parties or any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party, any Holding Company or RRR or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable Security Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Collateral Agent in Section 12.01 or in this Section 12.12 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral or any part thereof as one of the Lenders and that Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

SECTION 12.13. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, an Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender, an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 5.06, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the relevant Agent, and shall make payable in respect thereof within thirty (30) calendar days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Security Document against any amount due Administrative Agent under this Section 12.13. The agreements in this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 12.14. Secured Cash Management Agreements and Swap Contracts. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Security Document, no Cash Management Bank or Swap Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.02, Article VI or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Swap Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Swap Provider, as the case may be.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee from, and hold each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee harmless against, any Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them arising under any Environmental Law as a result of (i) the past, present or future operations of any Company (or any predecessor-in-interest to any Company), (ii) the past, present or future condition of any site or facility owned, operated, leased or used at any time by any Company (or any such predecessor-in-interest) to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents (including the exercise or remedies thereunder) or to (A) any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s)ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of any Company (or predecessor-in-interest), and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, or (iii) any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any such site or facility to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents (including the exercise or remedies thereunder) or to (A) any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of any Company (or predecessor-in-interest), and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, including any such Release or threatened Release that shall occur during any period when any Agent or Lender shall be in possession of any such site or facility following the exercise by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under any of the Security Documents; provided, however, that the indemnity hereunder shall be subject to the exclusions from indemnification set forth in the preceding sentence.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 13.03 or any other provision of any Credit Document providing for indemnification is unenforceable because it is violative of any Law or public policy or otherwise, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute the maximum portion that each

of them is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by any of the Persons indemnified hereunder.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and the parties hereto hereby waive, any claim against any Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in this Section 13.03 (including the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to indemnify the Indemnitees for indirect, special, punitive or consequential damage that are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (x) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (y) the principal and accrued and unpaid interest of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be reduced or forgiven (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), nor shall the date for any scheduled payment of any such amounts be postponed, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (y), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction) and (z) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender (other than in the case of a consent by the Administrative Agent to permit Borrower and its Subsidiaries to purchase Revolving Commitments (and Revolving Loans made pursuant thereto) of Defaulting Lenders in excess of the amount permitted pursuant to Section 13.04(h)).

(b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement, the consent of the Required Lenders (or in the case of a proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver affecting a particular Class or Tranche, the Lenders holding a majority of the Loans and Commitments with respect to such Class or Tranche) is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either:

(A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of Borrower, if such non-consenting Lender’s consent is required with respect to a particular Class or Tranche of Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the Classes or Tranches of Commitments and/or Loans of such non-consenting Lender with respect to which such Lender’s individual consent is required (such Classes or Tranches, the “Affected Classes”)) with one or more Replacement Lenders, so long as, at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver; provided, further, that (i) at the time of any such replacement, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.05(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case L/C Interests of, the Replaced Lender (or, at the option of Borrower if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Classes or Tranches of Loans (or related Commitments), the Commitments, outstanding Loans and L/C Interests of the Affected Classes), (ii) at the time of any replacement, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender (other than any Loans not being acquired by the Replacement Lender), (B) all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, in the event Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments owing to such Lender are being acquired and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees and other amounts owing to the Lender with respect to the Loans being so assigned and (iii) all obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (ii) above in respect of Replaced Lenders for which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, and other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being acquired by the Replacement Lender, but including any amounts which would be paid to a Lender pursuant to Section 5.05 if Borrower were prepaying a LIBORSOFR Loan), as applicable, shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such replacement.

(B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitment and/or repay Loans held by such Lender (or, if such non-consenting Lender’s consent is required with respect to a particular Class or Tranche of Loans, the Commitment and Loans of the Affected Class) and, if applicable, Cash Collateralize its applicable R/C Percentage of the L/C Liability, in either case, upon three (3) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Administrative Agent) prior written notice to Administrative Agent at the Principal Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders). Any such prepayment of the Loans or termination of the Commitments of such Lender shall be made together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 5.05) (or if the applicable consent requires approval of all Lenders of a particular Class or Tranche but not all Lenders, then Borrower shall terminate all Commitments and/or repay all Loans, in each case together with payment of all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 5.05) under such Class or Tranche), so long as (i) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this Section 13.04(b)(B), (A) the Revolving Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment and (B) such Lender’s R/C Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is Cash Collateralized or backstopped by Borrower in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the L/C Lenders. Immediately upon any repayment of Loans by Borrower pursuant to this Section 13.04(b)(B), such Loans repaid or acquired pursuant hereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents (provided, that such purchases and cancellations shall not constitute prepayments or repayments of the Loans for any purpose hereunder (except for purposes of Section 2.09(c))), including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided, however, that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to this clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must consent thereto), then, in the case of any action pursuant to this clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto;

provided, that Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, or terminate the Commitments of or repay the Loans of a Lender under this Section 13.04(b), solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to clauses (A) through (E) of the second proviso to Section 13.04(a).

(c) Administrative Agent and Borrower may (without the consent of Lenders) amend any Credit Document to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of Incremental Revolving Commitments, Incremental Term Loans, Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Commitments, Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments (including to provide for any such Tranche to be included, as applicable, in the definition of Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, Required Pro Rata Lenders or Required Tranche Lenders, to receive the benefits of Section 10.08 and/or to decline to participate in any mandatory prepayments). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Credit Document. In addition, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, Administrative Agent, Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may amend this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments

necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Loan Commitments). Administrative Agent and Borrower may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the terms of any Refinancing Amendment. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Loans and/or Commitments extended pursuant to Section 2.13 or incurred pursuant to Sections 2.12 or 2.15 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with Section 2.13, Section 2.12 or Section 2.15.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Term Loans (or any Tranche thereof in the case of additional Term Loans) and the Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments (or any Tranche of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments in the case of additional Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments) and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Tranche Lenders, Required Pro Rata Lenders and/or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) any Credit Document may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender) solely to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender or to correct administrative errors or omissions or to cure an ambiguity, defect or error (including, without limitation, to revise the legal description of any Mortgaged Real Property based on surveys), or to grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties or extend an existing Lien over additional property or to make modifications which are not materially adverse to the Lenders and are requested or required by Gaming Authorities or Gaming Laws and (ii) any Credit Document may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender) to permit any changes requested or required by any Governmental Authority that are not materially adverse to the Lenders (including any changes relating to qualifications as a permitted holder of debt, licensing or limits on Property that may be pledged as Collateral or available remedies). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) additional extensions of credit consented to by Required Lenders shall be permitted hereunder on a ratable basis with the existing Loans (including as to proceeds of, and sharing in the benefits of, Collateral and sharing of prepayments), (B) Collateral Agent shall (and each of the Lenders (and each Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) hereby authorize Collateral Agent to) enter into the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement upon the request of Borrower in connection with the incurrence of Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt, Permitted First Lien Indebtedness (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that qualify as Permitted First Lien Indebtedness) or Incremental Equivalent Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(t)(A)(v) and 10.01(t)(A)(vi)), as applicable (or any amendments and supplements thereto in connection with the incurrence of additional Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt, Permitted First Lien Indebtedness (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that qualify as Permitted First Lien Indebtedness) or Incremental Equivalent Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(t)(A)(v) and 10.01(t)(A)(vi))), and (C) Collateral Agent (and each of the Lenders (and each Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) hereby authorize Collateral Agent to) shall enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement upon the request of Borrower in connection with the incurrence of Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt, Permitted Second Lien Indebtedness (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that qualify as Permitted Second Lien Indebtedness) or Incremental Equivalent Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(t)(A)(v) and 10.01(t)(A)(vi)), as applicable (or any amendments and supplements thereto in connection with the incurrence of additional Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt, Permitted Second Lien Indebtedness (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that qualify as Permitted Second Lien Indebtedness) or Incremental Equivalent Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(t)(A)(v) and 10.01(t)(A)(vi))). Each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, from and after the effectiveness thereof, as if directly a party thereto.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the applicable Credit Party, Holding Company, RRR or Parties and Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Credit Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Credit Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, without the consent of any other Person, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional Property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any Property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Requirements of Law or to release any Collateral which is not required under the Security Documents.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall (A) release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full of the Obligations (other than (x) obligations under any Swap Contracts as to which acceptable arrangements have been made to the satisfaction of the relevant counterparties and (y) Cash Management Agreements not yet due and payable), (ii) upon the sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral to the extent required pursuant to the last paragraph in Section 10.05 (and Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry) to any Person other than a Credit Party, Holding Company or RRR, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders to the extent required by Section 13.04(a)), (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee pursuant to Section 6.08, (v) constituting Equity Interests in or property of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (vi) subject to Liens permitted under Sections 10.02(i) or 10.02(k), in each case, to the extent the documents governing such Liens do not permit such Collateral to secure the Obligations, or (vii) as otherwise may be provided herein or in the relevant Security Documents, and (B) consent to and enter into (and execute documents permitting the filing and recording, where appropriate) the grant of easements and covenants and subordination rights with respect to real property, conditions, restrictions and declarations on customary terms, and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements on customary terms reasonably requested by Borrower with respect to leases entered into by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent requested by Borrower and not materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders.

(h) If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Borrower shall have the right to terminate such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and repay the Loans related thereto as provided below so long as Borrower Cash Collateralizes or backstops such Defaulting Lender’s applicable R/C Percentage of the L/C Liability to the reasonable satisfaction of the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent; provided that such terminations of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed 20 % of the sum of (x) the initial aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Commitments on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date plus (y) the initial aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Revolving Commitments incurred after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date and prior to such date of determination; provided, further, that Borrower and its Subsidiaries may terminate additional Revolving Commitments and repay the Loans related thereto pursuant to this Section 13.04(h) with the consent of the Administrative Agent. At the time of any such termination and/or repayment, and as a condition thereto, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender provided pursuant to such Revolving Commitments, (B) all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, in the event Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments owing to such Lender are being repaid and terminated or acquired, as the case may be, and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to the Loans being so repaid, as the case may be and all other obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being terminated or repaid) shall be paid in full to such Defaulting Lender concurrently with such termination. At such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Loans or Commitments hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 4.02, 5.01, 5.03, 5.05, 5.06 and 13.03), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender. Immediately upon any repayment of Loans by Borrower pursuant to this Section 13.04(h), such Loans repaid pursuant hereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents (provided; that such purchases and cancellations shall not constitute prepayments or repayments of the Loans (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.09, Section 2.10 or Article IV) for any purpose hereunder), including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the

SECTION 13.05. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, except as expressly contemplated by Section 9.10 with respect to the VoteCo SPE Reorganization, no Credit Party, Holding Company or RRR may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document (it being understood that a merger or consolidation not prohibited by this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer) without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and provided, further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments, Loans or related Obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 13.05(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer, assign or grant any participation (x) to a natural person, (y) to a Person that is a Disqualified Lender as of the applicable Trade Date (unless consented to by Borrower) or (z) under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the date for any scheduled payment on, or the final scheduled maturity of, any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond any applicable R/C Maturity Date (unless such Letter of Credit is required to be cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped (with a letter of credit on customary terms) to the applicable L/C Lender’s and the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction or the participations therein are required to be assumed by Lenders that have commitments which extend beyond such R/C Maturity Date)) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the total Commitments or Total Revolving Commitments or of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party, any Holding Company or RRR of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or other Credit Document to which it is a party or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) or all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto). Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (a), Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01, and 5.06 (subject to the obligations and limitations of such Sections, including Section 5.06(b), (c) and (d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.06(b), (c) and (d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 13.05. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.07 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). 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. A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.01 or 5.06 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the entitlement to a greater payment results from any change in applicable Laws after the date the participant became a participant.

(b) No Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may assign all or any portion of its Commitments, Loans and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Loans and Obligations) hereunder, except to one or more Eligible Assignees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Assignee) with the consent of (x) Administrative Agent, (y) so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c), or, with respect to Borrower, 11.01(g) or 11.01(h), has occurred and is continuing, Borrower and (z) in the case of an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, the consent of the Swingline Lender and each L/C Lender (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (x) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans at the time owing to it, the aggregate amount of the Commitments or Loans subject to such assignment shall not be less than $1.0 million; (y) no such consent shall be necessary in the case of (i) an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments by a Revolving Lender to another Revolving Lender, (ii) an assignment of Term Loans by a Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender and (z) Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Each assignee shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided that (I) Administrative Agent shall, unless it otherwise agrees in its sole discretion, receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, (II) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 2.08, and (III) such assignments may be made on a pro rata basis among Commitments and/or Loans (and related Obligations). To the extent of any assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 13.05(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans (provided that such assignment shall not release such Lender of any claims or liabilities that may exist against such Lender at the time of such assignment). At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.05(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to Borrower and Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Foreign Lender Certificate) as described in Section 5.06(b), 5.06(c) or 5.06(d), as applicable.

(A) agrees that any purchase pursuant to any credit bid by the Secured Parties (other than the Affiliated Lenders) under section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar law, rule or provision under any applicable Debtor Relief Law) or otherwise shall have the effect of discharging such Affiliated Lender’s liens, claims, encumbrances and interests in the Collateral, and that title acquired pursuant to such credit bid shall be acquired free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or interests arising under or by reason of the Obligations owed to the Affiliated Lenders or any Credit Document, whether or not the court order approving the sale pursuant to such credit bid expressly so provides;

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Lender”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by Borrower of an Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender.

Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, Holding Company or RRR, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waives and releases, and Borrower hereby acknowledges each Holding Company’s and RRR’s waiver and release of, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby (other than any agency or fiduciary duty expressly set forth in an any engagement letter referenced in clause (ii)(A)).

SECTION 13.17. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Credit Party, any Holding Company or RRR or any other obligor under any of the Credit Documents or the Swap Contracts or (with respect to the exercise of rights against the collateral) Cash Management Agreements (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Credit Party, any Holding Company or RRR, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 13.17 are for the sole benefit of the Agents and Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Credit Party, any Holding Company or RRR.

SECTION 13.18. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents (collectively, the “Charges”) shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the interest and other Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 13.18 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

 

-183-

---

Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in this Agreement, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Rate, and at that time this Section 13.18 shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Rate. If the Maximum Rate is calculated pursuant to this Section 13.18, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.18, a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly apply such excess in the order specified in this Agreement and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

SECTION 13.19. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to any Agent, any L/C Lender or any Lender, or any Agent, any L/C Lender or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent, such L/C Lender or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and the Agents’, the L/C Lender’s and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Credit Document shall continue in full force and effect, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent or L/C Lender, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. In such event, each Credit Document shall be automatically reinstated (to the extent that any Credit Document was terminated) and Borrower shall take (and shall cause each other Credit Party, each Holding Company and RRR to take) such action as may be requested by Administrative Agent, the L/C Lenders and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement.

SECTION 13.20. VoteCo SPE Reorganization. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, from and after the occurrence of VoteCo SPE Reorganization, (i) RRR shall no longer be required to provide any collateral security for the Obligations, (ii) all covenants, obligations and representations and warranties under the Credit Documents applicable to RRR shall cease to apply with respect to RRR and (iii) all references to RRR in Section 11.01 shall be deemed deleted.

SECTION 13.21. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 13.22. Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

 

-184-

---

under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and

Term A-5 Facility Loans

 

						Applicable Margin
				Revolving Loans under the Sixth Amendment Revolving Facility (including Swingline Loans allocated thereto) and Term A- 5 Facility Loans
Pricing Level		Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio		LIBOR SOFR		ABR
Level I		Greater than 4.00 to 1.00		1.75%		0.75%
Level II		Less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00		1.50%		0.50%

For purposes of this Annex B, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated by (i) deducting the amount of Unrestricted Cash from clause (a) of the definition thereof and (ii) deducting the outstanding principal amount of Designated Junior Indebtedness from clause (a) thereof (to the extent such Designated Junior Indebtedness was otherwise included in the calculation of such clause (a)); provided that, if the applicable Subsidiary (if not a Credit Party) does not distribute all Designated Junior Indebtedness Principal Proceeds to a Credit Party within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof by such Subsidiary, then for each prior Test Period for which a Designated Junior Indebtedness Deduction was made, the Borrower shall recalculate the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio without giving effect to such Designated Junior Indebtedness Deduction. In the event that such recalculation would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (a “Recalculated Applicable Margin Period”) than the Applicable Margin actually paid by the Borrower for such Recalculated Applicable Margin Period, then Borrower shall promptly (i) determine the Applicable Margin for such Recalculated Applicable Margin Period based upon the recalculated Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and (iii) pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Recalculated Applicable Margin Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4.01, it being agreed that such prompt payment by Borrower of any such accrued additional interest shall be considered timely for all purposes and no Event of Default shall arise under Section 11.01(b)(ii) or otherwise shall occur or be continuing with respect thereto (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit any Default or Event of Default that has occurred or is continuing as a result of any default in the due observation or performance by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries of Section 10.08). It is acknowledged and agreed that, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Documents, including their rights under Section 3.02 and Article XI and their other respective rights under this Agreement.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Organization Red Rock Resorts, Inc. (“Red Rock,” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in 2015 to own an indirect equity interest in and manage Station Casinos LLC (“Station LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company. Station LLC is a gaming, development and management company established in 1976 that owns and operates six major gaming and entertainment facilities and ten smaller casino properties (three of which are 50% owned) in the Las Vegas regional market. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company commenced construction of Durango Casino & Resort (“Durango”) in the southwest Las Vegas valley. Durango is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company owns all of the outstanding voting interests in Station LLC and has an indirect equity interest in Station LLC through its ownership of limited liability interests in Station Holdco LLC (“Station Holdco,” and such interests, “LLC Units”), which owns all of the economic interests in Station LLC. At June 30, 2023, the Company held 58% of the economic interests and 100% of the voting power in Station Holdco, subject to certain limited exceptions, and is designated as the sole managing member of both Station Holdco and Station LLC. The Company controls and operates all of the business and affairs of Station Holdco and Station LLC, and conducts all of its operations through these entities. In June 2022, the Company permanently closed its Texas Station, Fiesta Henderson and Fiesta Rancho properties, which had been closed since March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the Company permanently closed Wild Wild West in September 2022. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made, and such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The interim results reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation. Principles of Consolidation Station Holdco and Station LLC are variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and Station Holdco, and presents the interest in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company has investments in three 50% owned smaller casino properties which are joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant Accounting Policies A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Noncontrolling Interest in Station Holdco	Noncontrolling Interest in Station Holdco As discussed in Note 1, Red Rock holds a controlling interest in and consolidates the financial position and results of operations of Station LLC and its subsidiaries and Station Holdco. The interests in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock are presented within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The ownership of the LLC Units is summarized as follows: June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Units Ownership % Units Ownership % Red Rock 62,518,531  57.6  % 62,113,911  57.5  % Noncontrolling interest holders 45,985,804  42.4  % 45,985,804  42.5  % Total 108,504,335  100.0  % 108,099,715  100.0  % The Company uses monthly weighted-average LLC Unit ownership to calculate the pretax income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss of Station Holdco attributable to Red Rock and the noncontrolling interest holders. Station Holdco equity attributable to Red Rock and the noncontrolling interest holders is rebalanced, as needed, to reflect LLC Unit ownership at period end. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, rebalancing was primarily due to repurchases of Class A common stock.

Native American Development	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2023
Development Disclosure [Abstract]
Native American Development	Native American Development The Company has development and management agreements with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians (the “Mono”), a federally recognized Native American tribe located near Fresno, California, which were originally entered into in 2003. In August 2014, the Mono and the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) and the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement. The Mono has submitted a proposed Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement and a proposed Third Amended and Restated Development Agreement to the National Indian Gaming Commission (“NIGC”). Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the Company has assisted the Mono in developing a gaming and entertainment facility (the “North Fork Project”) to be located in Madera County, California and, pursuant to the proposed management and development agreements, the Company proposes to continue to assist the Mono in developing and to assist the Mono in operating the North Fork Project. The Company purchased a 305-acre parcel of land adjacent to Highway 99 north of the city of Madera (the “North Fork Site”), which was taken into trust for the benefit of the Mono by the Department of the Interior (“DOI”) in February 2013. As currently contemplated, the North Fork Project is expected to include approximately 2,000 Class III slot machines, approximately 40 table games and several restaurants, and future development costs of the project are expected to be between $375 million and $425 million. The following table summarizes the Company’s evaluation at June 30, 2023 of each of the critical milestones that it has identified as necessary to complete the North Fork Project. As of June 30, 2023, each of these critical milestones has substantially been resolved, except for approval of the Management Agreement by the Chair of the NIGC. The following table summarizes the Company’s evaluation at June 30, 2023 of each of the critical milestones necessary to complete the North Fork Project. Federally recognized as an Indian tribe by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) Yes Date of recognition Federal recognition was terminated in 1966 and restored in 1983. Tribe has possession of or access to usable land upon which the project is to be built The DOI accepted approximately 305 acres of land for the project into trust for the benefit of the Mono in February 2013. Status of obtaining regulatory and governmental approvals: Tribal-state compact A compact was negotiated and signed by the Governor of California and the Mono in August 2012. The California State Assembly and Senate passed Assembly Bill 277 (“AB 277”) which ratified the Compact in May 2013 and June 2013, respectively. Opponents of the North Fork Project qualified a referendum, “Proposition 48,” for a state-wide ballot challenging the legislature’s ratification of the Compact. In November 2014, Proposition 48 failed. The State took the position that the failure of Proposition 48 nullified the ratification of the Compact and, therefore, the Compact did not take effect under California law. In March 2015, the Mono filed suit against the State to obtain a compact with the State or procedures from the Secretary of the Interior under which Class III gaming may be conducted on the North Fork Site. In July 2016, the DOI issued Secretarial procedures (the “Secretarial Procedures”) pursuant to which the Mono may conduct Class III gaming on the North Fork Site. Approval of gaming compact by DOI The Compact was submitted to the DOI in July 2013. In October 2013, notice of the Compact taking effect was published in the Federal Register. The Secretarial Procedures supersede and replace the Compact. Record of decision regarding environmental impact published by BIA In November 2012, the record of decision for the Environmental Impact Statement for the North Fork Project was issued by the BIA. In December 2012, the Notice of Intent to take land into trust was published in the Federal Register. BIA accepting usable land into trust on behalf of the tribe The North Fork Site was accepted into trust in February 2013. Approval of management agreement by NIGC In December 2015, the Mono submitted a Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement, and certain related documents, to the NIGC. In July 2016, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement. In March 2018, the Mono submitted the Management Agreement and certain related documents to the NIGC. In June 2018, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Management Agreement. In April 2021, the Mono received an issues letter from the NIGC identifying issues to be addressed prior to approval of the Management Agreement. In September 2022, the Mono received an additional issues letter from the NIGC identifying remaining issues to be addressed prior to approval of the Management Agreement. Approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC is expected to occur following the Mono’s response to the most recent issues letter. The Company believes the Management Agreement will be approved because the terms and conditions thereof are consistent with the provisions of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (“IGRA”). Gaming licenses: Type The North Fork Project will include the operation of Class II and Class III gaming, which are allowed pursuant to the terms of the Secretarial Procedures and IGRA, following approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC. Number of gaming devices allowed The Secretarial Procedures allow for the operation of a maximum of 2,000 Class III slot machines at the facility during the first two years of operation and thereafter up to 2,500 Class III slot machines. There is no limit on the number of Class II gaming devices that the Mono can offer. Agreements with local authorities The Mono has entered into memoranda of understanding with the City of Madera, the County of Madera and the Madera Irrigation District under which the Mono agreed to pay one-time and recurring mitigation contributions, subject to certain contingencies. The memoranda of understanding have all been amended to restructure the timing of certain payments due to delays in the development of the North Fork Project. In addition to the critical milestones, there is a remaining unresolved legal matter related to the North Fork Project. In March 2016, Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians (“Picayune”) filed a complaint for declaratory relief and petition for writ of mandate in California Superior Court for the County of Madera against Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr., alleging that the referendum that invalidated the Compact also invalidated Governor Brown’s concurrence with the Secretary of the Interior’s determination that gaming on the North Fork Site would be in the best interest of the Mono and not detrimental to the surrounding community. The complaint seeks to vacate and set aside the Governor’s concurrence and was stayed from December 2016 to September 2021, when the Supreme Court of California denied the Mono’s and the State of California’s petition for review in Stand Up for California! v. Brown. As a result of the denial, litigation of this matter has resumed and a first amended complaint was filed by Picayune in December 2022. Each of the State of California and the Mono filed demurrers challenging the first amended complaint; in July 2023, the State of California’s demurrer was granted and the Mono’s demurrer was denied. As a result, the Mono will answer the first amended complaint. Under the terms of the Development Agreement, the Company has agreed to arrange the financing for the ongoing development costs and construction of the facility, and has contributed significant financial support to the North Fork Project. Through June 30, 2023, the Company has paid approximately $59.0 million of reimbursable advances to the Mono, primarily to complete the environmental impact study, purchase the North Fork Site and pay the costs of litigation. The repayment of the advances is expected to come from the proceeds of the North Fork Project’s financing, from cash flows from the North Fork Project’s operations, or from a combination of both. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, accrued interest on the advances will not be recognized in income until the carrying amount of the advances has been recovered. The carrying amount of the reimbursable advances was reduced by $15.1 million to fair value upon the Company’s adoption of fresh-start reporting in 2011. At June 30, 2023, the carrying amount of the advances was $43.9 million. In addition to the reimbursable advances, the Company expects to receive a development fee of 4% of the costs of construction for its development services, which will be paid upon the commencement of gaming operations at the facility. The proposed management agreement provides for the Company to receive a management fee of 30% of the North Fork Project’s net income. The repayment of all or a portion of the reimbursable advances is anticipated to be subordinated to the Mono’s debt service obligations under the North Fork Project’s financing. The proposed management agreement and the proposed development agreement have a term of seven years from the opening of the North Fork Project. The proposed management agreement includes termination provisions whereby either party may terminate the agreement for cause, and may also be terminated at any time upon agreement of the parties. There is no provision in the proposed management agreement allowing the tribe to buy-out the agreement prior to its expiration. The proposed management agreement provides that the Company will train the Mono tribal members such that they may assume responsibility for managing the North Fork Project upon the expiration of the agreement. The Company expects that, upon termination or expiration of the proposed development agreement, the Mono will continue to be obligated to repay any unpaid principal and interest on the advances from the Company. Amounts due to the Company under the Development Agreement and Management Agreement are secured by, and amounts due to the Company under the proposed management agreement are intended to be secured by, substantially all of the assets of the North Fork Project except the North Fork Site. In addition, the Development Agreement contains, and the proposed development and management agreements are anticipated to contain, waivers of the Mono’s sovereign immunity from suit for the purpose of enforcing the agreements or permitting or compelling arbitration and other remedies. The timing of both the North Fork Project and of the repayment of the reimbursable advances is difficult to predict and is contingent on the achievement of the critical milestones, the financing of the North Fork Project, and the cash flows from the North Fork Project. The Company currently estimates that construction of the North Fork Project may begin in the next six months and estimates that the North Fork Project would be completed and opened for business approximately 15 to 18 months after construction begins. The Company expects to assist the Mono in obtaining financing for the North Fork Project once all necessary critical milestones have been achieved and prior to commencement of construction. The Company has evaluated the likelihood that the North Fork Project will be successfully completed and opened, and has concluded that the likelihood of successful completion is in the range of 75% to 85% at June 30, 2023. The Company’s evaluation is based on its consideration of all available positive and negative evidence about the status of the North Fork Project, including, but not limited to, the status of required regulatory approvals, as well as the progress being made toward the achievement of any remaining critical milestones, the arrangement of financing for the North Fork Project and the status of any remaining litigation and contingencies. There can be no assurance that all the necessary governmental and regulatory approvals will be obtained, that financing will be obtained, that the financing and/or the cash flows from the North Fork Project will be sufficient to repay the advances, that the North Fork Project will be successfully completed or that future events and circumstances will not change the Company’s estimates of the timing, scope, and potential for successful completion or that any such changes will not be material. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will recover all of its investment in the North Fork Project even if it is successfully completed and opened for business.

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2023
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Red Rock is a corporation and pays corporate federal, state and local taxes on its income, primarily pass-through income from Station Holdco based upon Red Rock’s economic interest held in Station Holdco. Station Holdco is a partnership for income tax reporting purposes. Station Holdco’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state and local income taxes based on their respective share of Station Holdco’s pass-through taxable income. The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate and makes necessary cumulative adjustments to the total tax provision or benefit. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 10.1% and 10.4%, respectively, as compared to 19.9% and 14.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the 21% statutory rate primarily because its effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact that Station Holdco operates as a limited liability company, which is not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the Company is not taxed on the portion of Station Holdco’s income attributable to noncontrolling interests. As a result of the Company’s 2016 initial public offering (“IPO”) and certain reorganization transactions, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset resulting from the outside basis difference of its interest in Station Holdco. The Company also recorded a deferred tax asset for its liability related to payments to be made pursuant to the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) representing 85% of the tax savings the Company expects to realize from the amortization deductions associated with the step-up in the basis of depreciable assets under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code. This deferred tax asset will be recovered as cash payments are made to the TRA participants. In addition, the Company records deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and other tax attributes, as applicable. The Company considers both positive and negative evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is not required to the extent that, in management’s judgment, positive evidence exists with a magnitude and duration sufficient to result in a conclusion that it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company determined that the deferred tax asset related to the LLC Units issued in the IPO and reorganization transactions is not expected to be realized unless the Company disposes of its investment in Station Holdco. As such, the Company established a valuation allowance against this portion of its deferred tax asset. The Company recognizes changes to the valuation allowance through the provision for income tax or other comprehensive income, as applicable. Tax Receivable Agreement In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the TRA with certain owners who held LLC Units prior to the IPO. In the event that such parties exchange any or all of their LLC Units for Class A common stock or cash, at the election of the Company, the TRA requires the Company to make payments to such holders for 85% of the tax benefits realized by the Company as a result of such exchange. The Company expects to realize these tax benefits based on current projections of taxable income. The annual tax benefits are computed by calculating the income taxes due, including such tax benefits, and the income taxes due without such benefits. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s liability under the TRA was $22.0 million and $28.6 million, respectively, of which $6.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively, was payable to entities related to Frank J. Fertitta III, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, Vice Chairman of the Board and a vice president of the Company. No LLC Units were exchanged during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 the Company made payments on the TRA liability of $6.6 million and expects to pay $1.0 million of the TRA liability within the next twelve months. The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the amount and timing of the taxable income the Company generates each year and the tax rate then applicable. The payment obligations under the TRA are Red Rock’s obligations and are not obligations of Station Holdco or Station LLC. Payments are generally due within a specified period of time following the filing of the Company’s annual tax return and interest on such payments will accrue from the original due date (without extensions) of the income tax return until the date paid. Payments not made within the required period after the filing of the income tax return generally accrue interest. The TRA will remain in effect until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA. The TRA will also terminate if the Company breaches its obligations under the TRA or upon certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations, or other changes of control. If the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA, or if the TRA is terminated early in accordance with its terms, the Company’s payment obligations would be accelerated based upon certain assumptions, including the assumption that the Company would have sufficient future taxable income to utilize such tax benefits, and may substantially exceed the actual benefits, if any, the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the TRA.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share	6 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Red Rock by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive shares, including shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options and nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, based on the application of the treasury stock method, and outstanding Class B common stock that is exchangeable, along with an equal number of LLC Units, for Class A common stock, based on the application of the if- converted method. Dilutive shares included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 represented outstanding shares of Class B common stock, nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock and outstanding stock options. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, dilutive shares included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share represented nonvested restricted shares of Class A common stock and outstanding stock options. All other potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Segments	SegmentsThe Company views each of its Las Vegas casino properties and its Native American management arrangements as individual operating segments. The Company aggregates all of its Las Vegas operating segments into one reportable segment because all of its Las Vegas properties offer similar products, cater to the same customer base, have the same regulatory and tax structure, share the same marketing techniques, are directed by a centralized management structure and have similar economic characteristics. The Company also aggregates its Native American management arrangements into one reportable segment. The Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as its primary performance measure.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made, and such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The interim results reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation Station Holdco and Station LLC are variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of Station LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and Station Holdco, and presents the interest in Station Holdco not owned by Red Rock within noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company has investments in three 50% owned smaller casino properties which are joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
New Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In March 2020 and December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) and ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, respectively. The ASUs were intended to ease the potential accounting and financial reporting burden of reference rate reform, including the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). ASU 2020-04 provides an optional expedient and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2022-06 extended the sunset date of Topic 848 to December 31, 2024 from December 31, 2022. The interest rates associated with the Company’s previous borrowings under its Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6) were tied to LIBOR. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 upon the amendment of its Credit Facility on June 6, 2023, and effective July 1, 2023, the LIBOR rate will be replaced with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) (see Note 6). The Company elected to apply the optional expedient for contract modifications to the Credit Facility amendment and accordingly, will treat the interest rate replacement as a non-substantial modification. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Development Disclosure [Abstract]
Schedule of Development and Management Agreements	The following table summarizes the Company’s evaluation at June 30, 2023 of each of the critical milestones necessary to complete the North Fork Project. Federally recognized as an Indian tribe by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) Yes Date of recognition Federal recognition was terminated in 1966 and restored in 1983. Tribe has possession of or access to usable land upon which the project is to be built The DOI accepted approximately 305 acres of land for the project into trust for the benefit of the Mono in February 2013. Status of obtaining regulatory and governmental approvals: Tribal-state compact A compact was negotiated and signed by the Governor of California and the Mono in August 2012. The California State Assembly and Senate passed Assembly Bill 277 (“AB 277”) which ratified the Compact in May 2013 and June 2013, respectively. Opponents of the North Fork Project qualified a referendum, “Proposition 48,” for a state-wide ballot challenging the legislature’s ratification of the Compact. In November 2014, Proposition 48 failed. The State took the position that the failure of Proposition 48 nullified the ratification of the Compact and, therefore, the Compact did not take effect under California law. In March 2015, the Mono filed suit against the State to obtain a compact with the State or procedures from the Secretary of the Interior under which Class III gaming may be conducted on the North Fork Site. In July 2016, the DOI issued Secretarial procedures (the “Secretarial Procedures”) pursuant to which the Mono may conduct Class III gaming on the North Fork Site. Approval of gaming compact by DOI The Compact was submitted to the DOI in July 2013. In October 2013, notice of the Compact taking effect was published in the Federal Register. The Secretarial Procedures supersede and replace the Compact. Record of decision regarding environmental impact published by BIA In November 2012, the record of decision for the Environmental Impact Statement for the North Fork Project was issued by the BIA. In December 2012, the Notice of Intent to take land into trust was published in the Federal Register. BIA accepting usable land into trust on behalf of the tribe The North Fork Site was accepted into trust in February 2013. Approval of management agreement by NIGC In December 2015, the Mono submitted a Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement, and certain related documents, to the NIGC. In July 2016, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Second Amended and Restated Management Agreement. In March 2018, the Mono submitted the Management Agreement and certain related documents to the NIGC. In June 2018, the Mono received a deficiency letter from the NIGC seeking additional information concerning the Management Agreement. In April 2021, the Mono received an issues letter from the NIGC identifying issues to be addressed prior to approval of the Management Agreement. In September 2022, the Mono received an additional issues letter from the NIGC identifying remaining issues to be addressed prior to approval of the Management Agreement. Approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC is expected to occur following the Mono’s response to the most recent issues letter. The Company believes the Management Agreement will be approved because the terms and conditions thereof are consistent with the provisions of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (“IGRA”). Gaming licenses: Type The North Fork Project will include the operation of Class II and Class III gaming, which are allowed pursuant to the terms of the Secretarial Procedures and IGRA, following approval of the Management Agreement by the NIGC. Number of gaming devices allowed The Secretarial Procedures allow for the operation of a maximum of 2,000 Class III slot machines at the facility during the first two years of operation and thereafter up to 2,500 Class III slot machines. There is no limit on the number of Class II gaming devices that the Mono can offer. Agreements with local authorities The Mono has entered into memoranda of understanding with the City of Madera, the County of Madera and the Madera Irrigation District under which the Mono agreed to pay one-time and recurring mitigation contributions, subject to certain contingencies. The memoranda of understanding have all been amended to restructure the timing of certain payments due to delays in the development of the North Fork Project.

[1] Adjusted EBITDA includes net income plus depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, write-downs and other, net (including gains and losses on asset disposals, demolition costs, development, preopening, business innovation and technology enhancements, contract termination costs and non-routine items), asset impairment, interest expense, net, provision for income tax and other. [2] Includes tenant lease revenue of $6.8 million and $12.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $5.7 million and $10.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Revenue from tenant leases is accounted for under the lease accounting guidance and included in Other revenues in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. [3] In the third quarter of 2022, management changed its methodology for allocating corporate expenses to the Company’s reportable segments. Under the new methodology, only corporate costs that are primarily related to the Company’s operating properties are allocated to the properties. The new methodology was applied to all periods presented. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, expenses of $3.9 million and $7.5 million, respectively, were reclassified from the Las Vegas Operations segment to Corporate and other to conform with the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on Adjusted EBITDA.
