Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Credit Agreement

On October 15, 2024, SelectQuote, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Eleventh Amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2019 (as previously amended, the “Credit Agreement” and as further amended by the Eleventh Amendment, the “Amended Agreement”), with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as resigning administrative agent, Ares Capital Corporation, as successor administrative agent, UMB Bank, N.A., as revolver agent; and certain of the Company’s existing lenders. The Eleventh Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (1) extend the scheduled maturity date of existing term loans (2) permit certain modifications to the asset coverage ratio and minimum liquidity covenant that the company is required to maintain compliance with and (3) allow the Company to enter into the ABS Facility (the “ABS Facility”) described below.

Following the Eleventh Amendment until the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2026, the term loans under the Amended Agreement will accrue cash and PIK interest on amounts drawn ranging (A) at a rate per annum equal to either (a) SOFR (subject to a floor of 3.00%) plus 6.0% to 6.50% or (b) a base rate plus 5.0% to 5.50%, at the Company’s option for cash interest and (B) at a rate per annum equal 0%-3% for PIK interest, in each case depending on the aggregate principal amount of term loans outstanding on the calculation date. The interest rate may increase after September 30, 2026 as set forth in the Amended Agreement if the Company fails to achieve certain milestones set forth in the Amended Agreement.

The obligations of the Company under the Amended Agreement continue to be guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, and secured by a security interest in all assets of the Company, subject to certain exceptions detailed in the Amended Agreement and related ancillary documentation. In connection with the Eleventh Amendment, three of the Company’s subsidiaries, SelectRx KS, LLC, SelectQuote MSO, LLC, and SQ Care Management, LLC, became guarantors of the Amended Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Eleventh Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Eleventh Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Warrants

On October 15, 2024, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5,568,360 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) of the Company, in the aggregate, to certain of the Company’s existing lenders. A copy of the form of such Warrants is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Note Purchase Agreement

On October 15, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including special purpose entities created in connection with the ABS Facility, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, SQ ABS Issuer, LLC (the “Issuer”) issued $60,000,000 of senior secured 7.80% Class A Notes and $40,000,000 of senior secured 9.65% Class B Notes (together, the “Notes”) to the Purchasers. The Notes are secured by a pool of commission receivables sold to the Issuer and are solely obligations of the Issuer and its special purpose holding company, SQ ABS Holdings, LLC.

In connection with the ABS Facility, additional commission receivables and other compensation payable to the Company and its affiliates by insurance carriers were transferred to other special purpose wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the “Contract Parties”). The Contract Parties entered into, or assumed, carrier agreements to which SelectQuote Insurance Services and Tiburon Insurance Services, LLC were previously a party. The Contract Party agreements are on substantially similar terms to the legacy agreements, and SelectQuote Insurance Services and Tiburon Insurance Services, LLC, as servicers, will administer the Contract Party agreements pursuant to a servicing agreement.




The foregoing description of the Note Purchase Agreement and related ABS Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

(i)    As of the date of this Agreement, each Credit Party and each of their respective Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Releasors”), to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby releases, and discharges the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, each Lender and each of its or their respective trustees, officers, directors, participants, beneficiaries, agents, attorneys, affiliates and employees, and the successors and assigns of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, suits, defenses, set-offs against the Obligations, and liabilities of any kind or character whatsoever, known or unknown, contingent or matured, suspected or unsuspected, anticipated or unanticipated, liquidated or unliquidated, claimed or unclaimed, in contract or in tort, at law or in equity, or otherwise, including, without limitation, claims or defenses relating to allegations of usury, which relate, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to the Loans, the Loan Documents, the Obligations, the Collateral or this Agreement, in each case, which existed, arose or occurred at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of the Loan Documents and this Agreement, any claims, causes of action or defenses based on the negligence of any of the Released Parties or on any “lender liability” theories of, among others, unfair dealing, control, misrepresentation, omissions, misconduct, overreaching, unconscionability, disparate bargaining position, reliance, equitable subordination, or otherwise, and any claim based upon illegality or usury (collectively, the “Released Claims”). No Releasor shall intentionally, willfully or knowingly commence, join in, prosecute, or participate in any suit or other proceeding in a position which is adverse to any of the Released Parties, arising directly or indirectly from any of the Released Claims. The Released Claims include, but are not limited to, any and all unknown, unanticipated, unsuspected or misunderstood claims and defenses which existed, arose or occurred at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, all of which are released by the provisions hereof in favor of the Released Parties.
(ii)    Each Releasor acknowledges and agrees that it has no defenses, counterclaims, offsets, cross-complaints, causes of action, rights, claims or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, any usury or lender liability claims or defenses, arising out of the Loan Documents or this Agreement, that can be asserted either to reduce or eliminate all or any part of any of the Releasors’ liability to the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent and the Lenders under the Loan
- 9 -


Documents, or to seek affirmative relief or damages of any kind or nature from the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent or the Lenders, for or in connection with the Loans or any of the Loan Documents. Each Releasor further acknowledges that, to the extent that any such claim does in fact exist, it is being fully, finally and irrevocably released by them as provided in this Agreement.
(iii)    Each Releasor hereby waives the provisions of any applicable laws restricting the release of claims which the releasing parties do not know or suspect to exist as of the date of this Agreement, which, if known, would have materially affected the decision to agree to these releases. Accordingly, each Releasor hereby agrees, represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent and each Lender that it understands and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown may have given or may hereafter give rise to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and each Releasor further agrees, represents and warrants that the releases provided herein have been negotiated and agreed upon, and in light of, that realization and that each Releasor nevertheless hereby intends to release, discharge and acquit the parties set forth hereinabove from any such unknown causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses which are in any manner set forth in or related to the Released Claims and all dealings in connection therewith.
(iv)    In making the releases set forth in this Agreement, each Releasor acknowledges that it has not relied upon any representation of any kind made by any Released Party.
(v)    It is understood and agreed by the Releasors and the Released Parties that the acceptance of delivery of the releases set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed as an admission of liability by any of the Released Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and the Revolver Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Released Parties, hereby expressly denies liability of any nature whatsoever arising from or related to the subject of such releases.
SECTION 16. Tax Matters.
SECTION 17.
(i)    For U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, the parties hereto shall treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as follows, and shall not take any contrary position unless required to do so by a change in law or a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or, for state or local purposes, a determination of equivalent finality (provided that under no circumstances shall the Borrower take such a contrary position without first providing reasonable notice to the Eleventh Amendment Consenting Lenders):
(a)    On the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date, but after the issuance of the ABS Notes and the Partial Prepayment, this agreement shall be treated as causing a “significant modification” (within the meaning of Section 1.1001-3 of the U.S. Treasury Regulations) of the Pre-Existing Term Loans held by the Eleventh Amendment Consenting Lenders. As a result, the Eleventh Amendment Consenting Lenders shall be treated as exchanging their Pre-Existing Term Loans for (1) the Eleventh Amendment Consenting Term Loans and (2) the Warrants.

(b)    The “issue price” of the debt instruments issued in exchange for the Pre-Existing Term Loans shall be determined under Section 1.1273-2(c) of the U.S. Treasury
- 10 -


Regulations. For this purpose, the parties currently intend, absent a material change in circumstances, to determine under Section 1.1273-2(f)(5)(ii) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations that the fair market value of the Pre-Existing Term Loans is equal to their face value.
(c)    The Eleventh Amendment Consenting Term Loans and the Warrants shall be issued as an “investment unit” within the meaning of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code and Section 1.1273-2(h) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. For this purpose, the fair market value of the Warrants shall be determined by the Borrower (in consultation with the Eleventh Amendment Consenting Lenders) within 60 days of the original issue date of the Warrants and the “issue price” of the Eleventh Amendment Consenting Term Loans under Section 1273(b) of the Code shall be determined by taking into account the fair market value of the Warrants in the manner required by Section 1.1273-2(h)(1) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations.
(d)    The Eleventh Amendment Consenting Term Loans shall be treated as issued in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations and no part of the interest payable with respect thereto shall be treated as contingent interest of a type described in Section 871(h)(4) of the Code.
(ii)    For U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, the Borrower shall not take any position inconsistent with the following tax treatment unless required to do so by a change in law or a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or, for state or local purposes, a determination of equivalent finality (provided that under no circumstances shall the Borrower take such a contrary position without first providing reasonable notice to the Eleventh Amendment Consenting Lenders):
(a)    The exchange described in Section 16(i)(A) shall be treated as a “recapitalization” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code, and the Pre-Existing Term Loans, the Eleventh Amendment Consenting Term Loans and the Warrants shall be treated as “securities” within the meaning of Section 354(a) of the Code.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to Issue any Letter



of Credit unless (w) the Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender has been replaced in accordance with Section 9.9 or 9.22, (x) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been cash collateralized, (y) the Revolving Loan Commitments of the other Lenders have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy the Revolver Agent that all future Letter of Credit Obligations will be covered by all Revolving Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders, or (z) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been reallocated to other Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with subsection 1.11(e)(ii).
(ii)Notice of Issuance. The Borrower shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and the Revolver Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and the Revolver Agent not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Revolver Agent and such L/C Issuer).

(iv)Acquisition of Participations. Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit Obligations.
(v)Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit, or to the Revolver Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, each L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than the first Business Day after the Borrower receives notice from such L/C Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit or



that such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is otherwise due (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”) with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (A) below. In the event that any L/C Reimbursement Obligation is not repaid by the Borrower as provided in this clause (v) (or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Revolver Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, the Revolver Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender) and, irrespective of whether such notice is given, such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable by the Borrower on demand with interest thereon computed at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.
(vi)Reimbursement Obligations of the Revolving Lenders.
(1)Upon receipt of the notice described in clause (v) above from Revolver Agent, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Revolver Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit Obligations (as such amount may be increased pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii)).
(2)By making any payment described in clause (1) above (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under subsection 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt thereof by the Revolver Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. Any such payment that is not deemed a Revolving Loan shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Obligation in respect of the related L/C Reimbursement Obligations. Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded. Following receipt by any L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to any portion of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall promptly pay to the Revolver Agent, for the benefit of such Lender, all amounts received by such L/C Issuer (or to the extent such amounts shall have been received by the Revolver Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, the Revolver Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender all amounts received by the Revolver Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer) with respect to such portion.
(vii)Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders pursuant to clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective of (A) (i) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision in any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit, any Loan Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any provision of any of the foregoing, (ii) any document presented under a Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any



respect or failing to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iii) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document, (B) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that any Person (including any Credit Party) may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction, (C) in the case of the obligations of any Revolving Lender, (i) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 2.2 to be satisfied (each of which conditions precedent the Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) or (ii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party and (D) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of Revolver Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this clause (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any Revolving Lender hereunder. No provision hereof shall be deemed to waive or limit the Borrower’s right to seek repayment of any payment of any L/C Reimbursement Obligations from the L/C Issuer under the terms of the applicable L/C Reimbursement Agreement or applicable law.
(d)[Reserved].
(e)[Reserved].
(f)[Reserved].
(g)Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
I.2Notes.
(a)The Term Loan made by each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment shall be evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, a Term Note payable to such Lender in an amount equal to the unpaid balance of the Term Loan held by such Lender.
(b)The Revolving Loans made by each Revolving Lender shall be evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, a Revolving Note payable to such Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.
I.3Interest.
(a)Subject to subsections 1.3(c) and 1.3(d), the Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR or the Base Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin. The Revolving Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR or the Base Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin. Each determination of an interest rate by the Applicable Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the



Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. All computations of fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans, a 365/366-day year and actual days elapsed). Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.
(b)Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any payment or prepayment of Loans in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of interest accruing pursuant to the Margin PIK Component shall be paid in kind by increasing the principal balance of the Term Loan by the amount of such interest rather than being paid in cash, unless the Borrower shall elect (through written notice to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the relevant payment date) to pay the same in cash when due, in its discretion; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest payment with respect to any Interest Period that commences prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and/or October 1, 2023, as applicable, and ends after such date shall be calculated, commencing on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, by applying the percentage of Margin PIK Component applicable to the actual number of days elapsed during such Interest Period.
(c)The Borrower shall pay interest on (i) all past due amounts owing by it hereunder and (ii) at the written election of (A) the Required Lenders, on all Obligations outstanding after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (B) the Required Revolving Lenders, on all the Revolving Credit Obligations outstanding after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in each case, at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws; provided that no interest at the Default Rate shall accrue or be payable to a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender. Accrued and unpaid interest on such amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(d)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Applicable Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
(e)Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, with the prior



written consent of the Required Lenders and in consultation with the Borrower, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.
I.4Loan Accounts.
(a)(1) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall record on its books and records the amount of each Term Loan made, the interest rate applicable thereto, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding and (2) the Revolver Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, shall record on its books and records the amount of each Revolving Loan made, the interest rate applicable thereto, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Revolver Agent shall deliver to the Borrower on a monthly basis a loan statement setting forth such record for the immediately preceding calendar month. Such record shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so, or any failure to deliver such loan statement shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder (or under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against the Administrative Agent or the Revolver Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Revolver Agent shall furnish to the Administrative Agent on a monthly basis, and at such other times as the Administrative Agent may request, a copy of the Register maintained by the Revolver Agent.
(b)Each Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, in each case, solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this subsection 1.4(b), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2(a) (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, may notify the Borrower in writing) (A) a record of ownership (a “Register”) in which (1) the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent, each Lender in the Term Loan, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Term Loan and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (2) the Revolver Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Revolver Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer in the Revolving Loans, L/C Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Obligations, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Obligations and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the applicable Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, as applicable, (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 9.9 and 9.22), (2) the Commitments of each applicable Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above and, for SOFR Loans, the Interest Period applicable



thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid with respect to Loans recorded in the applicable Register, (5) solely with respect to the Revolver Agent, the amount of the L/C Reimbursement Obligations due and payable or paid in respect of Letters of Credit and (6) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, from the Borrower and the application of such payment to the Obligations.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Loans and, in the case of Revolving Loans, the corresponding obligations to participate in Letter of Credit Obligations) and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the applicable Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 1.4 and Section 9.9 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.
(d)The Credit Parties, the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in any Register as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of the Loan Documents. Information contained in any Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the Borrower, the Agents, such Lender or such L/C Issuer during normal business hours and from time to time upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior notice. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in any Register other than information with respect to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by the Applicable Agent.
I.5Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing.
(a)Each Borrowing of a Revolving Loan shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable (subject to Section 10.5) written notice delivered to the Revolver Agent substantially in the form of a Notice of Borrowing or in a writing in any other form acceptable to Revolver Agent, which notice must be received by the Revolver Agent prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Borrowing date.
(b)Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Revolver Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing.
(c)Unless the Revolver Agent is otherwise directed in writing by the Borrower, the proceeds of each requested Borrowing after the Closing Date will be promptly made available to the Borrower by the Revolver Agent by deposit into the Borrower’s operating account with Revolver Agent.
I.6Conversion and Continuation Elections.
(a)The Borrower shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Loan or Term Loan be made as a SOFR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of



outstanding Revolving Loans or Term Loans from Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, (iii) convert any SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan (subject to Section 10.4) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Revolving Loan or Term Loan as a SOFR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not have the option to convert any Revolving Loans from SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Any Term Loan or group of Term Loans having the same proposed Interest Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a SOFR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $250,000. Any such election must be made by the Borrower by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Revolving Loan which is to bear interest at SOFR (2) the end of each Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which the Borrower wishes to convert any Base Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan for an Interest Period designated by the Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect to a SOFR Loan by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, that SOFR Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of its Interest Period. The Borrower must make such election by notice to the Revolver Agent with respect to Revolving Loans and the Administrative Agent with respect to Term Loans in writing, including by Electronic Transmission. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.6 or in a writing in any other form acceptable to the Applicable Agent. No Revolving Loan or Term Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a SOFR Loan if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Applicable Agent or Required Lenders have determined by notice to the Borrower not to make or continue any Revolving Loans or Term Loan as a SOFR Loan as a result thereof.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, as of the 1st day of each month, the Borrower shall have the option to request that all Revolving Loans accrue interest as either a SOFR Loan or Base Rate Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not have the option to convert any Revolving Loans from SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans, or vice versa, prior to the expiration of that month. Any such election must be made by the Borrower by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the end of each month. The Borrower must make such election by notice to the Revolver Agent with respect to Revolving Loans in writing, including by Electronic Transmission. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.6 or in a writing in any other form acceptable to the Applicable Agent. If no election is received with respect to the Revolving Loans by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the end of the month with respect thereto, such Revolving Loans shall continue to accrue interest as either SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans, with SOFR or the Base Rate, as applicable, being adjusted to reflect the rate of the 1st Business Day of that month.
(c)Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Term Lender thereof or the Revolver Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof, as the case may be. In addition, the Applicable Agent will, with reasonable promptness, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of



SOFR; provided, however, that any failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against any Agent. All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans or Term Loans held by each Lender with respect to which the notice was given.
(d)Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, after giving effect to any Borrowing, or to any continuation or conversion of any Loans, there shall not be more than eight (8) different Interest Periods in effect.
I.7Optional Prepayments of Loans and Commitment Reductions.
(a)The Borrower may, at any time, prepay the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, without penalty or premium.
(b)The Borrower may, at any time upon at least two (2) Business Days’ (or one (1) Business Day’s notice in the case of Base Rate Loans, such notice to be delivered by 1:00 p.m. (New York time)) prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Class or Classes of Term Loans in whole or in part in an amount greater than or equal to $100,000, in each instance, upon payment of the amounts payable as provided in Section 10.4. Optional partial prepayments of any Class of Term Loan shall be applied in the manner set forth in subsection 1.8(h). Optional partial prepayments of any Class of Term Loan in amounts less than $100,000 shall not be permitted unless such prepayment is of the entire outstanding principal balance of such Class of Term Loans.
(c)The Borrower may, at any time upon at least two (2) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Revolver Agent) prior notice by the Borrower to Revolver Agent, permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that (A) such reductions shall be in an amount greater than or equal to $500,000. Other than any reduction in connection with the Eighth Amendment, all reductions of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be allocated pro rata among all Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment. If, after giving effect to any permanent reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments, the L/C Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.
(d)The notice of any prepayment and any permanent reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower (other than any such prepayment or permanent reduction that is intended to occur in connection with a refinancing of all outstanding Loans and the concurrent permanent reduction of all Commitments, including in connection with a transaction resulting in a Change of Control), and the Applicable Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof and of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such prepayment or reduction, as applicable. The payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.7, the Borrower shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 1.9(e) and Section 10.4.
(e)[Reserved].



(f)[Reserved].
(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of voluntary prepayment under this Section 1.7 if such voluntary prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.
(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Borrower may not make any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans under this Section 1.7 unless either (i) the Required Revolving Lenders have consented to such voluntary prepayment or (ii) the Revolving Loans and all other Obligations that are accrued and payable under the Revolving Credit Facility have been repaid in full, the Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated, and all outstanding Letters of Credit have been terminated (or the L/C Obligations related thereto have been cash collateralized, back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer).

The total Unused Commitment Fee paid by the Borrower will be equal to the sum of all of the Unused Commitment Fees due to the Lenders, subject to subsection 1.11(e)(vi). Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing with the first full Fiscal Quarter to occur after the Closing Date.

In the event that the Borrower (w) makes a voluntary prepayment of any Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.7(b), (x) makes a mandatory prepayment of any Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.8(c)(iii) or 1.8(d) (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any other mandatory prepayment), (y) make any prepayment of any Term Loans in connection with a Change of Control (including any refinancing of any portion of the Term Loans), or (z) if the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, including, but not limited to, acceleration in accordance with Section 7.2, or as a result of the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the Term Lenders of the applicable Class, if such prepayment or acceleration occurs on or prior to (A) with respect to any Initial Term Loans, First Amendment Incremental Term Loans or First Amendment Delayed Draw Term Loans, the first anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date or (B) with respect to any Second Delayed Draw Term Loans A, January 15, 2023 (each date set forth in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), a “Prepayment Premium Termination Date”), a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class so prepaid or accelerated (the “Prepayment Premium”). For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Premium or other premium shall be payable in respect of a prepayment in respect of a Class of Term Loans after the applicable Prepayment Premium Termination Date with respect to such Class of Term Loans. If, on or prior to the applicable Prepayment Premium Termination Date with respect to a Class of Term Loans, any Term Lender of such Class that is a non-consenting Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 9.22 in connection with any amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of this Agreement, such Lender (and not any Person who replaces such Lender pursuant to Section 9.22) shall receive the Prepayment Premium described in the preceding sentence with respect to the amount of Term Loans of such Class held by it immediately prior to such replacement. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such prepayment, refinancing, substitution, replacement, amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification.
I.10Payments by the Borrower.
(a)All payments (including prepayments) to be made by each Credit Party on account of principal, interest, Prepayment Premium, fees and other amounts required hereunder shall be made without set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to the Applicable Agent (for the ratable account of the Persons entitled thereto) at the address for payment specified in the signature page hereof in relation to such Applicable Agent (or such other address as such Applicable Agent may from time to time specify in accordance with Section 9.2), and shall be made in Dollars and by wire transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder), no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date due. Any payment which is received by an Agent later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) may in Agent’s discretion be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. The Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application during the continuance



of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of Collateral. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Revolver Agent and each Lender to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Loan) to pay (i) interest, principal, L/C Reimbursement Obligations, the Administrative Agent’s fees, Unused Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, in each instance if not otherwise paid on the date due, or (ii) after five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Borrower, other fees, costs or expenses payable by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
(b)The ledger balance of the Borrower held in its operating account with the Revolver Agent as of the end of each Business Day shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Obligations at the beginning of the next Business Day. If a credit balance results from such application, it shall not accrue interest in favor of the Borrower and shall be made available to the Borrower.
(c)Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, if any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall not in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.
(d)During the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, and shall upon the direction of Required Revolving Lenders, apply any and all payments, amounts, or distributions of any kind or nature received by Administrative Agent in respect of any Obligation (including without limitation any payments pursuant to any guarantees, any adequate protection payments paid during any Insolvency Proceeding, and any plan distributions in any Insolvency Proceeding) and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent as a result of the exercise of its remedies under the Collateral Documents after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in accordance with clauses first through ninth below. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, all proceeds of Collateral and all payments, amounts, or distributions of any kind or nature collected or received by Administrative Agent in respect of any Obligation (including without limitation any payments pursuant to any guarantees, any adequate protection payments paid during any Insolvency Proceeding, and any plan distributions in any Insolvency Proceeding), including all payments made by Credit Parties to Administrative Agent, after any or all of the Obligations have been accelerated (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded), shall be applied as follows:
first, to payment of costs and expenses, including Attorney Costs, of the Agents payable or reimbursable by the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents;
second, to payment of Attorney Costs of the Revolving Lenders in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility payable or reimbursable by the Borrower under this Agreement;
third, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Revolving Loans and fees owed to the Revolver Agent, Revolving Lenders and L/C Issuers (regardless of whether such interest, and fees, costs and charges incurred subsequent to the commencement of an



applicable Insolvency Proceeding are allowed as part of the claims of the Revolving Creditors under section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise);
fourth, to payment of principal of the Revolving Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations then due and payable until paid in full, and to any Obligations under any Secured Rate Contract or Secured Cash Management Agreement owing to any Secured Swap Provider or Secured Cash Management Provider that is a Revolving Creditor, and cash collateralization of undrawn Letters of Credit;
fifth, to the payment of all other Revolving Credit Obligations owing to the Revolving Lenders then due and payable;
sixth, to payment of Attorney Costs of the Term Lenders payable or reimbursable by the Borrower under this Agreement;
seventh, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Term Loan and fees owed to the Administrative Agent and Term Lenders;
eighth, to payment of principal of the Term Loan then due and payable and to any obligations then due and owing under any Secured Rate Contract or Secured Cash Management Agreement owing to any Secured Swap Provider or Secured Cash Management Provider that is a Term Creditor;
ninth, to all other Obligations owing to the Term Lenders then due and payable; and
tenth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to the Borrower or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.
In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied to each category in numerical order until amounts in such category have been paid in full in cash prior to the application to the next succeeding category, (ii) each of the Lenders or other Persons entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses third, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth and ninth above and (iii) no payments by a Guarantor and no proceeds of Collateral of a Guarantor shall be applied to Excluded Rate Contract Obligations of such Guarantor. If any Lender receives a payment or distribution to which it is not entitled or permitted to receive pursuant to the foregoing or that is otherwise to be made to a different Lender pursuant to this Agreement, then the Lender wrongfully receiving such payment or distribution shall (i) hold it separate from all of its assets, (ii) not commingle it with any of the assets of such Lender, (iii) hold such payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Lender entitled to such payment or distribution, and (iv) promptly pay the payment or distribution over to the Lender entitled to such payment or distribution or to the Applicable Agent for payment to such Lender.



I.11Payments by the Lenders to the Agents; Settlement.
(a)Disbursements.
(i)Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Term Lenders, disburse funds to the Borrower for Term Loans requested. Each Term Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Administrative Agent, or if Administrative Agent so requests, each Term Lender will remit to Administrative Agent its Commitment Percentage of any Loan before Administrative Agent disburses same to the Borrower. If Administrative Agent elects to require that each Term Lender make funds available to Administrative Agent prior to disbursement by Administrative Agent to the Borrower, Administrative Agent shall advise each Term Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Term Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loan requested by the Borrower no later than the Business Day prior to the scheduled Borrowing date applicable thereto, and each such Term Lender shall pay Administrative Agent such Term Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Administrative Agent’s account as set forth on Administrative Agent’s signature page hereto no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such scheduled Borrowing date. If any Term Lender fails to pay its Commitment Percentage within one (1) Business Day after Administrative Agent’s demand, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to Administrative Agent. Any repayment required pursuant to this subsection 1.11(a) shall be without premium or penalty. Nothing in this subsection 1.11(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the remaining provisions of Section 1.11, shall be deemed to require Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Term Lender as a result of any default by such Term Lender hereunder .
(ii)Revolver Agent may, on behalf of Revolving Lenders, disburse funds to the Borrower for Loans requested. Each Revolving Lender shall reimburse Revolver Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by Revolver Agent, or if Revolver Agent so requests, each Revolving Lender will remit to Revolver Agent its Commitment Percentage of any Loan before Revolver Agent disburses same to the Borrower. If Revolver Agent elects to require that each Revolving Lender make funds available to Revolver Agent prior to disbursement by Revolver Agent to the Borrower, Revolver Agent shall advise each Revolving Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loan requested by the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the scheduled Borrowing date applicable thereto, and each such Revolving Lender shall pay Revolver Agent such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Revolver Agent’s account on such scheduled Borrowing date. If any Revolving Lender fails to pay its Commitment Percentage within one (1) Business Day after Revolver Agent’s demand, Revolver Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to Revolver Agent. Any repayment



required pursuant to this subsection 1.11(a) shall be without premium or penalty. Nothing in this subsection 1.11(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the remaining provisions of Section 1.11, shall be deemed to require Revolver Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Revolving Lender or to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Revolver Agent, or Borrower may have against any Revolving Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Lender hereunder.
(b)Settlements. At least once each calendar week or more frequently at Revolver Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Revolver Agent shall advise each Revolving Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Revolver Agent shall pay to each Revolving Lender such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (except as otherwise provided in subsection 1.1(c)(vi) and subsection 1.11(e)(iv)) of principal, interest and fees paid by the Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date.
(c)Availability of Lender’s Commitment Percentage. Revolver Agent may assume that each Revolving Lender will make its Commitment Percentage of each Revolving Loan available to Revolver Agent on each Borrowing date. If such Commitment Percentage is not, in fact, paid to Revolver Agent by such Revolving Lender when due, Revolver Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Revolving Lender fails to pay the amount of its Commitment Percentage forthwith upon Revolver Agent’s demand, Revolver Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day of such notification, repay such amount to Revolver Agent. Any repayment required by this subsection 1.11(c) shall be without premium or penalty. Nothing in this subsection 1.11(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Revolver Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Revolving Lender or to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Revolving Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Lender hereunder. Without limiting the provisions of subsection 1.11(b), to the extent that Revolver Agent advances funds to the Borrower on behalf of any Revolving Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, Revolver Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance from the date such advance was made until reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Lender.
(d)Return of Payments.
(i)If Applicable Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Applicable Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by Applicable Agent, then Applicable Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.



(ii)If Applicable Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Applicable Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be returned to any Credit Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Applicable Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Applicable Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Applicable Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Applicable Agent is required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and Applicable Agent will be entitled to set-off against future distributions to such Lender any such amounts (with interest) that are not repaid on demand.
(e)Non-Funding Lenders.
(i)Responsibility. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Loan, to fund any purchase of any participation to be made or funded by it, or to make any payment required by it hereunder on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such loan, fund the purchase of any such participation, or make any other payment required hereunder on such date, and no Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a loan, fund the purchase of a participation or make any other payment required hereunder.
(ii)Reallocation. If any Revolving Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (unless such Lender is the L/C Issuer that Issued such Letter of Credit) shall, at Revolver Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s written request delivered to Revolver Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the Revolving Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (calculated as if such Non-Funding Lender’s Commitment Percentage was reduced to zero and each other Revolving Lender’s (other than any other Non-Funding Lender’s and any Impacted Lender’s) Commitment Percentage had been increased proportionately), provided, however, that no Revolving Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause the sum of its outstanding Revolving Loans and outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations to exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment.
(iii)Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, including Section 9.1, a Non-Funding Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender who only holds Term Loans) shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” or a “Revolving Lender” (or be, or have its Loans and Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Lenders” or “Lenders directly affected” pursuant to Section 9.1) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document, provided that (A) the Commitment of a Non-Funding Lender may not be



increased, extended or reinstated, (B) the principal of a Non-Funding Lender’s Loans may not be reduced or forgiven, and (C) the interest rate applicable to Obligations owing to a Non-Funding Lender may not be reduced by an amendment, waiver or consent under any Loan Documents, in each case, without the consent of such Non-Funding Lender. Moreover, for the purposes of determining Required Lenders and Required Revolving Lenders, the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, and Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded from the total Loans and Commitments outstanding.
(iv)Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender. Each Applicable Agent is hereby authorized to use all portions of any payments received by such Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement as cash collateral. Each Applicable Agent is hereby authorized to use such cash collateral or any portion thereof to pay in part or in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Secured Parties entitled thereto. Each Applicable Agent is hereby authorized and is entitled to hold as cash collateral in a non-interest bearing account up to an amount equal to such Non-Funding Lender’s pro rata share, without giving effect to any reallocation pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii), of all Letter of Credit Obligations until the Facility Termination Date. Upon any unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, each Applicable Agent is hereby authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. With respect to any Non-Funding Lender’s failure to fund Revolving Loans or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligations, any amounts applied by any Applicable Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Revolving Loan or amount of the participation required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit participation interests from the other Revolving Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to any Applicable Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. In the event that any Applicable Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (v) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, such Applicable Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender. The “Aggregate Excess Funding Amount” of a Non-Funding Lender shall be the aggregate amount of (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to the Agents, L/C Issuers and other Lenders under the Loan Documents, including such Lender’s share of all Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, plus, without duplication, (B) all amounts of Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender reallocated to other Lenders pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii).
(v)Cure. A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender if such Lender fully pays to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess



Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon. Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.
(vi)Fees. A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and Borrower shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Commitment Fee during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof. In the event that any reallocation of Letter of Credit Obligations occurs pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii), during the period of time that such reallocation remains in effect, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to the reallocated portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to all Revolving Lenders based on their pro rata share of the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations reallocated. So long as a Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender that has not been reallocated pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii) shall be payable to the L/C Issuer.
(f)Procedures. Each Agent is hereby authorized by each Credit Party and each Secured Party to establish procedures (and to amend such procedures from time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent is hereby authorized to establish procedures to make available or deliver, or to accept, notices, documents and similar items on, by posting to or submitting and/or completion, on E-Systems.
I.12[Reserved].
I.13Extensions of Term Loans.
(a)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of one or more given Classes (the “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled Term Loan Maturity Date(s) with respect to the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche (any such Term Loans that have been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 1.13. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other similar fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with all applicable Lenders) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (y) be identical to the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are intended to be amended, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that at no time shall there be Classes of Extended Term Loans hereunder that have more than three (3) different Term Loan Maturity Dates; (ii) the economic terms of the Extended Term Loans (whether in the



form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, OID or otherwise) may be different than the economic terms for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (iv) Extended Term Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided, that no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of all outstanding Term Loans; provided, however, that (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time an Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the Term Loan Maturity Date of any Extended Term Loans of a given Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date of the Existing Term Loan Tranche, (C) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans of a given Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Existing Term Loan Tranche, (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (E) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary repayments or prepayments of principal of Term Loans hereunder and on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis), in any mandatory repayments or prepayments of Term Loans hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionately increased). Each request for an Extension Series of Extended Term Loans proposed to be incurred under this Section 1.13 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (it being understood that the actual principal amount thereof provided by the applicable Lenders may be lower than such minimum amount) and the Borrower may impose an Extension Minimum Condition with respect to any Extension Request, which may be waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion.
(b)Extension Request. The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders)) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 1.13. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Term Loan Tranche (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the



amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent).

For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased, plus the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums (including tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including OID) incurred in connection with such refinancing.
The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 5.5. The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Borrower prepared in accordance with GAAP as of the date of incurrence thereof.
V.6Transactions with Affiliates. No Credit Party shall, and no Credit Party shall suffer or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $2,500,000 for any individual transaction or series of related transactions, whether or not in the Ordinary Course of Business, except:

No Credit Party shall, and no Credit Party shall suffer or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make, directly or indirectly, Restricted Payments, except that any Subsidiary of the Borrower may declare and pay dividends to the Borrower and to any other Person who owns such Equity Interests to the extent made on a pro rata basis, and except that:
(a)the Borrower may (i) declare and make dividend payments or other Restricted Payments payable solely in its Equity Interests (other than any Disqualified Equity);
(b)the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may (i) pay for the repurchase, retirement or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests or settlement of equity-based awards or the settlement or vesting of other equity-based awards if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of, or tax withholdings with respect to, such options, warrants or other equity-based awards of such Subsidiary (or of the Borrower) held by any future, present or former employee, officer, director, manager or consultant (or any spouses, former spouses, successors, executors, administrators, heirs, legatees or distributes of any of the foregoing) of such Subsidiary (or the Borrower) or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (b) shall not exceed $3,000,000 in any calendar year; provided further that cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the



Borrower or any Subsidiary from members of management of the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s direct or indirect parent companies or any of the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of any of the Borrower’s direct or indirect parent companies will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this covenant or any other provision of this Agreement;
(c)the Borrower may make distributions to make cash payments in lieu of issuing fractional shares in connection with the exercise of Equity Interests of such parent convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Interests of such parent; provided, however, that any such cash payment shall not be for the purpose of evading the limitations of this Agreement;
(d)[reserved];
(e)[reserved];
(f)repurchases of Equity Interests in the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options or warrants or the settlement or vesting of other equity-based awards if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of, or tax withholdings with respect to, such options, warrants or other equity-based awards; and
(g)to the extent constituting Restricted Payments, the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries may enter into transactions expressly permitted by Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.6.

No Credit Party shall, and no Credit Party shall suffer or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) make any material change in accounting treatment or reporting practices, except as required (or, other than with respect to any methodology, principle or assumption used in preparing any Conforming Calculation, permitted) by GAAP, (ii) change the Fiscal Year or method for determining Fiscal Quarters of any Credit Party or of any consolidated Subsidiary of any Credit Party, (iii) change its name as it appears in official filings in its jurisdiction of organization or (iv) change its jurisdiction of organization, in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv), without at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the acknowledgement of Administrative Agent that all actions required by the Administrative Agent, including those to continue the perfection of its Liens, have been completed; provided, however, that the Borrower and any Subsidiary may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, change its Fiscal Year notwithstanding clause (ii) above to any other Fiscal Year reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), in which case, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent will, and are hereby authorized by the Lenders to, make any adjustments to this Agreement that are necessary to reflect such change in fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders and Required Revolving Lenders, no Credit Party shall make any material change in the accounting and/or calculation methodology, principles and/or assumptions used by the Borrower to calculate



the Asset Coverage Ratio for any reason if such change would result in the Asset Coverage Ratio being calculated in manner that is not a Conforming Calculation.
V.10No Negative Pledges.
(a)No Credit Party shall, and no Credit Party shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual restriction or encumbrance of any kind on the ability of any Credit Party (other than the Borrower) or Subsidiary to pay dividends or make any other distribution on any of such Credit Party’s or Subsidiary’s Equity Interests or to pay fees, including management fees, or make other payments and distributions to the Borrower or any other Credit Party except (i) pursuant to the Loan Documents, (ii) required by any applicable Requirements of Law, (iii) [reserved] or (iv) with respect to any Property subject to a Permitted Lien.

(iv)shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan Document, whether any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Credit Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from the Borrower, any Lender or L/C Issuer describing such Default or Event of Default clearly



labeled “notice of default” (in which case such Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders);
and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, the Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and Borrower shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against the any Agent based thereon.

VIII.6Administrative Agent and Revolver Agent Individually. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Equity Interests of, engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as the case may be, and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor.

otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Revolving Lender”, “Required Lender”, “Required Revolving Lender”, “Term Lender”, “Required Term Lenders” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender, Revolving Lender, Term Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders or Required Term Lenders, respectively.
VIII.7Lender Credit Decision. (a) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including any offering and disclosure materials in connection with the syndication of the Loans) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by an Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders or L/C Issuers, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or L/C Issuer with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party that may come in to the possession of any Agent or any of its Related Persons.
(a)If any Lender or L/C Issuer has elected to abstain from receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates, such Lender or L/C Issuer acknowledges that, notwithstanding such election, Agents and/or the Credit Parties will, from time to time, make available syndicate-information (which may contain MNPI) as required by the terms of, or in the course of administering the Loans to the credit contact(s) identified for receipt of such information on the Lender’s administrative questionnaire who are able to receive and use all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) in accordance with such Lender’s compliance policies and contractual obligations and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws; provided, that if such contact is not so identified in such questionnaire, the relevant Lender or L/C Issuer hereby agrees to promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) provide such a contact to Agents and the Credit Parties upon request therefor by Agents or the Credit Parties. Notwithstanding such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s election to abstain from receiving MNPI, such Lender or L/C Issuer acknowledges that if such Lender or L/C Issuer chooses to communicate with Agents, it assumes the risk of receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates.
VIII.8Expenses; Indemnities.
(a)Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party) and each Revolving Lender agrees to reimburse the Revolver Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not



reimbursed by any Credit Party), in each case, promptly upon demand, severally and ratably, of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Credit Party) that may be incurred by such Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.
(b)Each Lender further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party) and each Revolving Lender further agrees to indemnify the Revolver Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party), in each case, severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to on or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the such Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.
(c)To the extent required by any applicable law, the Applicable Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Applicable Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or because such Lender failed to notify the Applicable Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or the Applicable Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify the Applicable Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Applicable Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by the Applicable Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses. The Applicable Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which such Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under this Section 8.8(c).



VIII.9Resignation of Agents or L/C Issuer.
(a)Any Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. If any Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent and the Required Revolving Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Revolver Agent, as the case may be who, in each case shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1. If, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as the case may be, having given notice of resignation, no successor Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as the case may be, has been appointed by the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as the case may be, may, (i) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as the case may be, from among the Lenders or (ii) deliver any Collateral held hereunder to the Required Lenders, and thereafter shall have no further duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder. Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, a successor Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents. Any corporation or association into which any Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which such Agent is a party, will be and become the successor Agent under this Agreement and will have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.
(c)Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Agents, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, on the date such notice shall be effective. Upon such resignation, the L/C Issuer



shall remain an L/C Issuer and shall retain its rights and obligations in its capacity as such (other than any obligation to Issue Letters of Credit but including the right to receive fees or to have Lenders participate in any L/C Reimbursement Obligation thereof) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer prior to the date of such resignation and shall otherwise be discharged from all other duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.

(a)[reserved]; and
(b)any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by a Credit Party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent) to a Person other than another Credit Party, (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon subsection 5.1(i) or (j) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Credit Parties, upon the Facility Termination Date.
Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby directs the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 8.10.
VIII.11Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender or L/C Issuer party hereto, provided that, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this Article VIII, Section 9.3, Section 9.9, Section 9.10, Section 9.11, Section 9.17, Section 9.24 and Section 10.1 (and, solely with respect to L/C Issuers, subsection 1.1(c)) and the decisions and actions of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders or other parties hereto as required herein) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 8.8 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept, (b) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers party hereto shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (c) except as otherwise set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.

IX.8Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that any assignment by any Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.9, and provided further that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agents and each Lender.
IX.9Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.
(a)Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the other Credit Parties signatory hereto, the Revolver Agent and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, the Borrower, the other Credit Parties hereto (in each case except for Article VIII), the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer receiving benefits of the Loan Documents and, to the extent provided in Section 8.11, each other Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 8.9), none of the Borrower, any other Credit Party, any L/C Issuer, the Revolver Agent or the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.
(b)Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “Sale”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender), (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender) or (iii) any other Person (other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, a natural Person or, so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, a Disqualified Institution) with the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except in connection with a proposed assignment to any Disqualified Institution) of the Administrative Agent, and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, the prior written consent of the Borrower, and, in the case of any Sale of a Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit or Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolver Agent and each L/C Issuer that is a Lender (which such consent of L/C Issuer and the Borrower shall be deemed to have been given unless an objection is delivered to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after notice of a proposed Sale is delivered to the Borrower) (each of the Persons described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) being called herein an “Eligible Assignee”); provided, however, that (w) such Sales do not have to be ratable between the Revolving Loan



and the Term Loan but must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans or the Term Loan, (x) for each Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans, Commitments and Letter of Credit Obligations subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower (to the extent Borrower’s consent is otherwise required) and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Sale of a Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit or Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolver Agent, (y) interest accrued, prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned, and (z) such Sales by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent in all instances, unless in connection with such sale, such Non-Funding Lender cures, or causes the cure of, its Non-Funding Lender status as contemplated in subsection 1.11(e)(v). The Administrative Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to a Credit Party, a holder of other Indebtedness of a Credit Party or an Affiliate of such a holder, or to a Person that would be a Non-Funding or Impacted Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable. In no event shall any Lender Sell any Loan or Commitment to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and any such purported Sale shall be null and void.
(c)Procedures. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the Assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Administrative Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.1, an administrative questionnaire, and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500, unless waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, provided that (1) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, and (2) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 (unless waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent) shall be due in connection with such Sale. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such Assignment is made in accordance with Section 9.9(b)(iii), upon the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Sale of a Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit or Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolver Agent (and the Borrower, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Applicable Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.
(d)Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by the Applicable Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection 1.4(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and



obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(e)Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to any Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Indebtedness or equity securities, by notice to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any security interest in a Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit Obligations, the Revolver Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.
(f)Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Lender may, (x) with notice to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any grant of an option to make a Revolving Loan, the Revolver Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from any Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loan, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Article X, but, with respect to Section 10.1, only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms required pursuant to subsection 10.1(g) as if it were a Lender (it being understood that such tax forms shall be delivered to the Lender that granted the applicable participation or SPV interest) and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise



be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any grant of an option to make a Revolving Loan, the Revolver Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of subsection 9.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in clause (vi) of subsection 9.1(a). Each Lender that sells a participation or makes a grant to an SPV shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant or SPV and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s or SPV’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary or is otherwise required to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation or SPV interest for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agents (in their capacity as Agents) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. No party hereto shall institute (and Borrower shall cause each other Credit Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations.
IX.10Non-Public Information; Confidentiality.
(a)Non-Public Information. Each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information (“MNPI”) hereunder concerning the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations).

In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 9.10 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Credit Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 9.10 shall govern.
(c)Tombstones. Each Credit Party consents to the publication by the Arrangers and UMB of advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using Borrower’s or any other Credit Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark. The Arrangers and UMB shall provide a draft of any advertising material to the Borrower for review and approval prior to the publication thereof (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).
(d)Press Release and Related Matters. No Credit Party shall issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of securities of any Credit Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to any Agent or of any of its Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated therein to which such Agent is party without the prior consent of such Agent except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law. In no event shall any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of securities of any Credit Party) use the name, logo or otherwise specifically refer to a Lender without the prior consent of such Lender, except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law.



(e)Distribution of Materials to Lenders and L/C Issuers. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents and all reports, notices, communications and other information or materials provided or delivered by, or on behalf of, the Credit Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) may be disseminated by, or on behalf of, Agents, and made available, to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers by posting the Borrower Materials on an E-System. The Credit Parties authorize Agents to download copies of their logos from its website and post copies thereof on an E-System.
(f)Material Non-Public Information. The Credit Parties hereby agree that if either they, any parent company or any Subsidiary of the Credit Parties has publicly traded equity or debt securities in the United States, they shall (and shall cause such parent company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, to) (i) identify in writing, and (ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, clearly and conspicuously mark the Borrower Materials that contain only information that is publicly available as “PUBLIC”. The Credit Parties agree that by identifying the Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC” or publicly filing the Borrower Materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, then Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall be entitled to treat the Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws.
IX.11Set-off; Sharing of Payments.
(a)Right of Setoff. Each of each Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against any Obligation of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall exercise any such right of set off without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Each of each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 9.11 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Agents, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, their Affiliates and the other Secured Parties, may have.
(b)Sharing of Payments. If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Credit Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Section 9.9 or Article X and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, the Applicable



Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by the Applicable Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or L/C Issuer in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or L/C Issuer without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation. If a Non-Funding Lender receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments to the Administrative Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in subsection 1.11(e).

IX.22Replacement of Lender. Within forty-five days after (i) receipt by the Borrower of written notice and demand from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional costs as provided in Sections 10.1, 10.3 and/or 10.6; (ii) any default by a Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder after all conditions thereto have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that such default shall not have been cured, or (iii) any failure by any Lender (other than any Agent or an Affiliate of any Agent) to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification (or where in lieu of Required Lender consent) but the consent of each Lender (or each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, as applicable) is required with respect thereto, the Borrower may, at its option, notify the Administrative Agent and, in the case the Affected Lender is a Revolving Lender, the Revolver Agent and such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender, as the case may be) of the Borrower’s intention to obtain, at the Borrower’s expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender, as the case may be), which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, in the case the Affected Lender is a Revolving Lender, the Revolver Agent. In the event the Borrower obtains a Replacement Lender within forty-five (45) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender (or defaulting or non-consenting Lender, as the case may be) shall sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender, at par, provided that the Borrower has reimbursed such Affected Lender for its increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment pursuant to Section 9.9 within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 9.22 and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 9.22, the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment so executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Administrative Agent and, in the case the Affected Lender is a Revolving Lender, the Revolver Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 9.22 and Section 9.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) with respect to a Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain a Replacement Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender at any time with three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender (unless notice is not practicable under the circumstances) and cause such Lender’s Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned, in whole or in part, at par or (B) with respect to a Lender that does not consent to the amendments set forth in the First Amendment (so long as the Required Lenders have already consented to such First Amendment), (i) the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to obtain a Replacement Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such non-consenting Lender without prior notice to such Lender on the First Amendment Effective Date and cause such Lender’s Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned, in whole or in part, at par, or (ii) the Borrower may terminate the Commitments of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date. Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 9.9, such replaced Lender shall no



longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such replaced Lender.
IX.23Joint and Several. The obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are joint and several. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is hereby made to Article II of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, to which the obligations of Borrower and the other Credit Parties are subject.
IX.24Creditor-Debtor Relationship. The relationship between the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent each Lender and the L/C Issuer, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Credit Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.
IX.25Purchase Option.
(a)Termination Notice; Purchase Notice. Solely as among the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the Term Lenders (and whether or not the Administrative Agent is directed to terminate the Revolving Loan Commitments by the Required Revolving Lenders), the Administrative Agent or Revolver Agent, as applicable, shall, absent Exigent Circumstances give to the Term Lenders, at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice, or, should Exigent Circumstances arise or exist, such prior or contemporary notice as may be practicable under the circumstances before terminating the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2. On one occasion exercised at any time, the Term Lenders shall have the option, but not the obligation, to (x) purchase from the Revolving Lenders all, but not less than all, of the Revolving Loans and other Obligations arising under the Revolving Credit Facility owing to the Revolving Lenders, (y) assume all, but not less than all, of the then existing Revolving Loan Commitments, and (z) name a successor Revolver Agent and, if the Administrative Agent and Revolver Agent are the same Person, a successor Administrative Agent, that is or are acceptable to the Required Term Lenders and, if no Event of Default is continuing, to the Borrower. Such right shall be exercised by the applicable Term Lenders giving a written notice (the “Purchase Notice”) to the Agents. A Purchase Notice once delivered shall be irrevocable and must contain the name of the successor Revolver Agent and, if required, the successor Administrative Agent. Each Term Lender shall have the right to purchase its pro rata share of the Revolving Credit Obligations and assume its pro rata share of the Revolving Loan Commitments, and Term Lenders exercising such rights may exercise the rights of non-exercising Term Lenders, in each case on a pro rata basis as among exercising Term Lenders until such rights have been exercised as to all Revolving Credit Obligations and all Revolving Loan Commitments (in any case, prior to issuance of the Purchase Notice).
(b)Purchase Option Closing. On the date specified in the Purchase Notice (which shall not be less than 3 Business Days nor more than 5 Business Days, after delivery to the Agents of the Purchase Notice), the Revolving Lenders shall sell to the exercising Term Lenders, and the exercising Term Lenders shall purchase from the Revolving Lenders all, but not less than all, of the Revolving Credit Obligations, and the Revolving Lenders shall assign to



the exercising Term Lenders, and the exercising Term Lenders shall assume from the Revolving Lenders all, but not less than all, of the then existing Revolving Loan Commitments, and, with the effect and as more particularly provided in subsection 8.9(b), the Revolver Agent and L/C Issuer and, if applicable, the Administrative Agent, shall resign and shall be succeeded by the successor Revolver Agent and L/C Issuer and, if applicable, the Administrative Agent, nominated by the exercising Term Lenders, who shall assume the duties of Revolver Agent and, if applicable, Administrative Agent, as a successor Revolver Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable.
(c)Purchase Price. The purchase, sale and assumption pursuant to this Section 9.25 shall be made by execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent, the Revolver Agent, Revolving Lenders, and exercising Term Lenders of an Assignment. Upon the date of such purchase and sale, the exercising Term Lenders shall (a) pay to the Revolver Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders as the purchase price therefor the sum of (i) the full amount of all the Revolving Credit Obligations then outstanding and unpaid (including principal, interest, fees, indemnities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), (b) furnish cash collateral to the Revolver Agent with respect to the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations in such amounts as are required under Section 7.4 (to the same extent as if an Event of Default were continuing) and (c) agree to reimburse the Revolving Lenders for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) in connection with any commissions, fees, costs or expenses related to any issued and outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations as described above and any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Revolving Credit Obligations, and/or as to which the Revolving Lenders have not yet received final payment. Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Revolver Agent in accordance with Section 1.11(a), solely for the account of the Revolving Lenders. Interest and fees shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Term Lenders are received by the Revolver Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) and interest and fees shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Term Lenders are received by the Revolver Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time).
(d)Nature of Sale. The purchase and sale pursuant to this Section 9.25 shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Revolving Lenders as to the Revolving Credit Obligations or otherwise and without recourse to the Revolving Lenders, except for representations and warranties as to the following: (a) the amount of the Revolving Credit Obligations being purchased (including as to the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such Revolving Credit Obligations, fees and expenses thereof), (b) that the Revolving Lenders own the Revolving Credit Obligations free and clear of any Liens and (c) each Revolving Lender has the full right and power to assign its Revolving Credit Obligations and such assignment has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by such Revolving Lender.

(a)Except as required by any Requirement of Law or as otherwise provided in this Section 10.1, each payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments or fees, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties with respect thereto (collectively, the “Taxes”).
(b)If any Taxes shall be required by law to be withheld or deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Secured Party (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the relevant amount payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required withholding or deductions for Taxes are made (including such with deductions and withholdings applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 10.1), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, and (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
(c)The Credit Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Credit Party pursuant to this Section 10.1, the Borrower shall furnish to the Applicable Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d)The Credit Parties shall, jointly and severally, reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Agents), each Secured Party for any Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10.1) paid by such Secured Party and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Applicable Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with copy to the Agents, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining such amount, the Applicable Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(e)Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.



(f)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or 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 the Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or Agent as will enable the Borrower or 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 10.1(g)(i), Section 10.1(g)(ii) and Section 10.1(g)(v) 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.
(g)Each Non-U.S. Lender Party, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification delivered pursuant to this clause (ig) expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (ig) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or any Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide such Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two properly completed copies of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as appropriate (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty), and/or W-8IMY, accompanied by Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a certificate substantially in the form of the relevant exhibit contained in Exhibit H (as described in (B) below), Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner as applicable or any successor forms, or (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as appropriate (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor forms and a certificate in form and substance of the applicable Exhibit H acceptable to such Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. Unless the Borrower and the Agents have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Credit Parties and the Agents shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.
(i)Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date



on which any such form or certification delivered pursuant to this clause (iii) expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (iii) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or any Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide such Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two properly completed copies of Form W-9 or any successor thereto (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding tax).
(ii)Any Non-U.S. Lender Party shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by any Requirement of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by any Requirement of Law to permit the Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iii)[Reserved].
(iv)If a payment made to a Non-U.S. Lender Party or U.S. Lender Party would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Non-U.S. Lender Party or U.S. Lender Party 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 Non-U.S. Lender Party or U.S. Lender Party shall deliver to the Applicable Agent and the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Applicable Agent or the Borrower such documentation prescribed by any Requirement of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Applicable Agent or the Borrower as may be necessary for the Applicable Agent or the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Non-U.S. Lender Party or U.S. Lender Party has complied with such Non-U.S. Lender Party’s or U.S. Lender Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this clause (viv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.
(v)[Reserved].
Each Secured Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this paragraph (g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified



pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes or Other Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax or Other Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax or Other Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Secured Party pursuant to this Section for any interest or penalties suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Secured Party notifies the Borrower of the relevant Taxes or Other Taxes, and of such Secured Party’s intention to claim compensation therefore (except that, if a change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such taxes is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(j)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.9(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (j).



X.2Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Applicable Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Applicable Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until each affected Lender notifies the Applicable Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Applicable Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Applicable Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, in each case until the Applicable Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4.
(a)Subject to clause (c) below, if any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any SOFR Loan, the Borrower shall prepay in full all SOFR Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 10.4.
(b)If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans has been terminated, the Borrower may elect, by giving notice to such Lender through the Applicable Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by any such Lender as SOFR Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.
(c)Before giving any notice to the Applicable Agent pursuant to this Section 10.2, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its SOFR Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.
X.3Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.
(a)If any Change in Law shall (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board



for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or L/C Issuer; (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Tax and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender or L/C Issuer any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender, L/C Issuer or L/C Issuer, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, L/C Issuer, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)If any Lender or L/C Issuer shall have determined that:
(i)the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation;
(ii)any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation;
(iii)any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof; or
(iv)compliance by such Lender or L/C Issuer (or its Lending Office) or any entity controlling the Lender or L/C Issuer, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation;
affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or L/C Issuer or any entity controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entities’ policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment(s), loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within thirty (30) days of demand of such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Applicable Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, from time to time as specified by such Lender or L/C Issuer, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer (or the entity controlling the Lender or L/C Issuer) for such increase; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this subsection 10.3(b) for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower, in writing of the amounts and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the event giving rise to such increase is



retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law under subsection (a) above and/or a change in a Capital Adequacy Regulation under subsection (b) above, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
X.4Funding Losses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:
(a)the failure of the Borrower to make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal of any SOFR Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof);
(b)the failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;
(c)the failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with Section 1.7;
(d)the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 1.8) of a SOFR Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or
(e)the conversion pursuant to Section 1.6 of any SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period (including as a result of an Event of Default);
including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its SOFR Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, with respect to the expenses described in clauses (d) and (e) above, such Lender shall have notified the Applicable Agent of any such expense within two (2) Business Days of the date on which such expense was incurred. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for calculating any amount due pursuant to this Section 10.4. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 10.4 and under subsection 10.3(a): each SOFR Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the SOFR used in determining the interest rate for such SOFR Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such SOFR Loan is in fact so funded.



X.5Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 10.8, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:
(a)the Applicable Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or
(b)the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Applicable Agent, the Applicable Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.
Upon notice thereof by the Applicable Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Applicable Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4. Subject to Section 10.8, if the Applicable Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Applicable Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Applicable Agent revokes such determination.
X.6Reserves on SOFR Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including SOFR funds or deposits (currently known as “SOFR liabilities”), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each SOFR Loan equal to actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Applicable Agent) of such additional interest from the Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.
X.7Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article X shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Applicable Agent) a



certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
X.8Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent, Revolver Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Applicable Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Applicable Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 10.8(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent and Revolver Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Applicable Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Applicable Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 10.8(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Applicable Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 10.8, 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 or any selection, 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 to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 10.8.
(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Applicable Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of



information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Applicable Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Applicable Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(b)For purposes of calculating the Asset Coverage Ratio in connection with determining compliance with the financial covenant in Article VI, or otherwise calculating the Asset Coverage Ratio, on any date of determination, amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be translated into Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in the Borrower’s latest financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or (b), and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Rate Contracts permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the dollar amount of such Indebtedness.

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 Loan 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 Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Additionally, this Warrant may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:
(i)surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), together with an Exercise Notice in the form
6


attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Notice”), duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed; and
(ii)payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b).
(b)Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder as expressed in the Exercise Notice, by the following methods:
(i)by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price;
(ii)by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant such that, without payment of any cash consideration or other immediately available funds, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
X =    [Y * (A - B)] ÷ A
Where:
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
Y = the total number of Warrant Shares for which the Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a);
A = the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share as of the applicable Exercise Date; and
B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant as of the applicable Exercise Date; or
(iii)any combination of the foregoing.
In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above where the number of shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole shares and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) based on the incremental fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an
7


amount equal to the product of (x) such incremental fraction of a share being so withheld or surrendered multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share as of the Exercise Date.
(c)Delivery of Warrant Shares. Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, at the option of the Holder, either (A) execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, (B) cause to be issued to the Holder by entry on the books of the Company (or the Company’s transfer agent, if any) or (C) credit the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system if the Company is then a participant in such system, the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, in each case, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 3(d) hereof. The Warrant Shares so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise Notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder (or Holder’s prime broker) or, subject to compliance with Section 5 below, such other Person’s name as shall be designated in the Exercise Notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall not be required to deliver Warrant Shares through the system of the Depositary Trust Company if it determines that pursuant to Section 9 a legend is required to be included on such Warrant Shares being delivered.
(d)Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date.
(e)Delivery of New Warrant.
(i)Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.
(ii)Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant; provided that such new Warrant shall be issued directly to the Holder without reference
8


to any other Holder on Schedule 1. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

(iv)The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares, immediately upon exercise of the Warrants therefor, to be listed on any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares are listed at the time of such exercise.

4.Adjustment to Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the consideration this Warrant is exercisable into shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4).
(a)Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.
11


Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(b)Adjustment to Exercise Price Upon Cash and Non-Cash Dividends. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution (by spin-off or otherwise) on shares of Common Stock in cash, shares of capital stock, other securities (including rights), evidences of indebtedness or any other assets (whether of the Company, any subsidiary thereof or any other Person), or any combination thereof, excluding (i) dividends or distributions subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4(a) or (ii) dividends or distributions of rights in connection with the adoption of a stockholder rights plan in customary form (including with respect to the receipt of such rights in respect of shares of Common Stock (including Warrant Shares) issued subsequent to the initial dividend or distribution of such rights), then in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be reduced by the Distribution Fair Market Value of the cash, securities and/or any other assets, as applicable, to be so paid or distributed in such dividend or distribution in respect of one share of Common Stock (in each case as of the record date of such dividend or distribution). Any adjustment under this Section 4(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Distribution Fair Market Value of the cash, securities and/or any other assets, as applicable, to be so paid or distributed in such dividend or distribution in respect of one share of Common Stock (in each case as of the record date of such dividend or distribution) is equal to or greater than the Exercise Price on such record date, then, in lieu of any adjustment to the Exercise Price under the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b) in respect of such dividend or distribution, proper provision shall be made such that upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall receive, in addition to the applicable Warrant Shares, the amount and kind of such cash, securities and/or any other assets such Holder would have received had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date. In the event that such dividend or other distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board determines not to distribute such cash, shares of capital stock, other securities (including rights), evidences of indebtedness or any other assets (whether of the Company, any subsidiary thereof or any other Person), or any combination thereof, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(c)Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Company effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase Effective Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and (y) the Fair Market Value per share of Common
12


Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in full shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and (y) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (ii) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. Any adjustment under this Section 4(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the Pro Rata Repurchase Effective Date.
(d)Adjustment to Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 4(a)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, this Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise. The provisions of this Section 4(d) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions.
(e)Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 4; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 4(e) shall decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4.
(f)In the event that, other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, the Company grants or issues any equity securities or equity-based awards to a Covered Person (as defined below), whether pursuant to an equity issuance or an amendment or other adjustment to (or interpretation of) an existing award and whether pursuant to the Company’s equity-based incentive plans or otherwise (each, an “Incentive Adjustment”), then the Board shall, in good faith, adjust the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and/or the Exercise Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder from the dilutive
13


effects of the Incentive Adjustment; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 4(f) shall decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4(f) or increase the Exercise Price. For purposes of this Section 4(f), a “Covered Person” shall mean any member of senior management or the Board, in each case serving in such position on the Original Issue Date.
(g)Certificate as to Adjustment.
(i)As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.
(ii)As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.
(h)Notices. In the event:
(i)that the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security;
(ii)of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person; or
(iii)of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the
14


holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares.
5.Transfer of Warrant. Subject to applicable federal and state securities laws and the transfer conditions referred to in the legend endorsed hereon and in Section 9, this Warrant may be freely transferred by the Holder to any Person at any time, in whole or in part. For a transfer of this Warrant as an entirety by the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of the same denomination to the assignee. For a transfer of this Warrant with respect to a portion of the Warrant Shares, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices, the Company shall issue a new Warrant to the assignee, in such denomination as shall be requested by the Holder, and shall issue to the Holder a new Warrant covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been transferred. For the avoidance of doubt, there are no contractual restrictions on transfer of any Warrant Shares.
6.Registration Rights. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, offer to enter into a registration rights agreement with the Holder, which shall contain customary terms (such date, the “Offer Date”). Any such registration rights agreement shall (i) be entered into between the Company and the Holder no later than thirty (30) days following the Offer Date, and (ii) provide that:
(a)the Holder shall have customary demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights and obligations, including rights with respect to shelf registration on Form S-1 (or any similar or successor form) if the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3 (or any similar or successor form) at such time, with respect to the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; and
(b)such registration rights shall include customary indemnities and the right to receive customary cooperation from the Company and its directors and officers in connection with any dispositions (which may take the form of underwritten offerings, block trades, derivative transactions and other lawful means of disposition) pursuant to the applicable registration statement(s) (including entering into customary agreements with underwriters and other counterparties and providing such underwriters and other counterparties with customary indemnities, opinions, certificates and due diligence cooperation).
7.Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder; Limitations on Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock,
15


reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
8.Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.
(a)Replacement of Warrant on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation to the Company, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed; provided that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
(b)Division and Combination of Warrant. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer or other assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, including the provisions of Section 9, this Warrant may be divided or, following any such division of this Warrant, subsequently combined with other Warrants, upon the surrender of this Warrant or Warrants to the Company at its then principal executive offices, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the respective Holders or their agents or attorneys. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer or assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall at its own expense execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice. Such new Warrant or Warrants shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant or Warrants and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.
9.Compliance with the Securities Act.
(a)Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act; Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 9 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant and further agrees that such Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act. This Warrant and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
16


THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SHARES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND IS QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE ACT AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW AND, IF THE CORPORATION REASONABLY REQUESTS, AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION TO SUCH EFFECT HAS BEEN RENDERED BY COUNSEL, PROVIDED THAT NO OPINION SHALL BE REQUESTED OR REQUIRED FOR A TRANSFER OR OTHER ASSIGNMENT OF THIS WARRANT OR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT TO AN AFFILIATE OF THE TRANSFEROR THAT IS AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR UNDER REGULATION D PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT, A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER UNDER RULE 144A PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT, OR A NON-U.S. PERSON UNDER REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE ACT.
(b)Cooperation. Upon request of the Holder and receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such legend is no longer required under the Act and applicable state securities laws, the Company shall promptly cause the legend to be removed from any certificate or other instrument for this Warrant or Warrant Shares to be transferred in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
(c)Representations of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows:
(i)The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
17


(ii)The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
(iii)The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Warrant and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.
10.Warrant Register. The Company shall keep and properly maintain at its principal executive offices books for the registration of the Warrant and any transfers thereof. The Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Warrant is registered on such register as the Holder thereof for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, except any assignment, division, combination or other transfer of the Warrant effected in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.
11.Tax Matters.
(a)Cooperation. The Company shall (and shall cause its subsidiaries to) use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide the Holder with all reasonably requested information, records, and documents related to Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the tax withholding, reporting and compliance obligations of the Holder and its Affiliates (or their direct or indirect equity owners). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if requested by the Holder, the Company shall promptly provide either (i)(A) a properly completed and duly executed certification that the Company is not a USRPHC in accordance with Sections 1.897-2(g)(1)(ii) and 1.897-2(h)(1) of the Treasury Regulations and (B) evidence that the Company has delivered the notice required by Section 1.897-2(h)(2) of the Treasury Regulations, or (ii) written notice of its legal inability to provide such certification.
(b)[Reserved]

by the Holder in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder from impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant.

No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Exhibit 99.1
SelectQuote Completes First Phase of Recapitalization with $100 Million Securitization

10/16/2024

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT), a leading distributor of Medicare insurance policies and owner of a rapidly-growing Healthcare Services platform, today announced the completion of a $100 million securitization transaction on October 15, 2024.

Securitization provides advanced financing against the Company’s expected collections for policies previously sold. The Company’s receivables totaled approximately $1 billion as of June 30, 2024, and only a portion of the total receivables balance was securitized in this transaction. The Company will use the proceeds from this first securitization to pay down a portion of its outstanding term debt. The new securitized debt offers a materially lower cost of capital than the Company’s term debt.

The transaction also includes a meaningful maturity extension for the remainder of SelectQuote’s term debt from September 15, 2025 to September 30, 2027, and provides a path to an additional extension to September 30, 2028 upon completion of agreed upon payment milestones. While the Company believes future securitization deals remain the most attractive solution to a permanent recapitalization, it has hired an investment bank to conduct a strategic review of all available options to meet the Company's payment milestones, strengthen the balance sheet, and fund continued investment in core business lines.

SelectQuote CEO Tim Danker commented, “This securitization marks an important milestone for SelectQuote. This innovative approach to financing our business comes at a significant improvement to the Company’s current cost of capital. This transaction marks a critical first step toward our ultimate goal of significantly improving our capital structure and unlocking value for shareholders.”
