Except as herein otherwise specifically provided, (i) all provisions of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be unaffected hereby and (ii) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any rights, power or remedy of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Collateral Waiver granted herein shall not create any assumption or expectation that any future waiver will be granted by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(v) acknowledges and agrees that (A) notwithstanding the conditions to effectiveness set forth in this Amendment, the PAC REIT and such Subsidiary Guarantor is not required by the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to which PAC REIT or such Subsidiary Guarantor is a party to consent to the amendments to the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment and (B) nothing in the Amended Credit Agreement, this Amendment or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to require the consent of the PAC REIT or such Subsidiary Guarantor to any future amendments or modifications to the Amended Credit Agreement.

6.6 Waiver. Each Borrower, the PAC REIT, and each Subsidiary Guarantor, by signing below, hereby waives and releases the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective Related Parties from any and all claims, offsets, defenses and counterclaims of which any of the Borrowers, the PAC REIT or any Subsidiary Guarantor is aware, such waiver and release being with full knowledge and understanding of the circumstances and effect thereof and after having consulted legal counsel with respect thereto.
6.7 Entire Agreement. This Amendment, together with the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made the same available to thesuch Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender.

(i) Revolving Facility Termination Date. The entire principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.
(ii) Loans Exceed the Revolving Commitments. If on any date (after giving effect to any other payments on such date) (A) the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment, or (B) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, or (C) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding exceeds the Swing Line Commitment, then, in the case of each of the foregoing, the
BorrowerBorrowers shall, on such day, prepay on such date the principal amount of Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.
(d) Applications of Prepayment Proceeds. Each prepayment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(ii) above shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of principal of, first, the outstanding Swing Line Loans, and second, the outstanding Revolving Loans.
(e) Particular Loans to be Prepaid. With respect to each repayment or prepayment of Loans made or required by this Section, the Borrower Representative shall designate the Types of Loans that are to be repaid or prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such repayment or prepayment is to be made; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower Representative shall first so designate all Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ending on the date of repayment or prepayment prior to designating any other Eurodollar Loans for repayment or prepayment, and (ii) if the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing is reduced below the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount as a result of any such repayment or prepayment, then all the Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing shall, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, be Converted into Base Rate Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower Representative as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Article III.
(f) Breakage and Other Compensation. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by any amounts payable in respect thereof under Article III hereof.
Section 2.12 Method and Place of Payment.
(a) Generally. All payments made by the BorrowerBorrowers hereunder (including any payments made with respect to the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under Article X) under any Revolving Facility Note or any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.
(b) Application of Payments. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, (i) all payments and prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis based upon each Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such prepayment, and (ii) all payments and prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to pay or prepay such Swing Line Loans.
(c) Payment of Obligations. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, all payments under this Agreement with respect to any of the Obligations shall be made to the Administrative Agent on the date when due and shall be made at the Payment Office in immediately available funds and, except as set forth in the next sentence, shall be made in Dollars.
(d) Timing of Payments. Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Payment Office) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.
(e) Distribution to Lenders. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of payments hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall immediately distribute to each Lender, its ratable share, if any,
of the amount of principal, interest, and Fees received by it for the account of such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent in Dollars shall be delivered to the Lenders in Dollars in immediately available funds; provided, however, that if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and Fees then due hereunder then, except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, such funds shall be applied, first, towards payment of interest and Fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and Fees then due to such parties, and second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swing Line Loans shall be for the account of the Swing Line Lender (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in any such Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(c), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).
Section 2.13 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 11.12.
(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.03 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, as the BorrowerBorrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the BorrowerBorrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Swing Line Lender and/or Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to theany Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by thesuch Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being
applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Facility. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the BorrowerBorrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). With respect to any Unused Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender hereunder, the BorrowerBorrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Swing Line Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the BorrowerBorrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the BorrowerBorrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v) Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the BorrowerBorrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower Representative, the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Facility, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the BorrowerBorrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly
agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c) New Swing Line Loans. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure immediately after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan.
Section 2.14 Increase in Revolving Commitments.
The BorrowerBorrowers shall have the right to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $300,000,000 (less any reductions in the Revolving Commitments effected pursuant to Section 2.10(c)). Each such increase in the Revolving Commitments must be an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Revolving Commitments, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of the increase in the Revolving Commitments among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide a new Revolving Commitment, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. The BorrowerBorrowers shall pay to the Revolving Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Lenders under Section 3.02 as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans. Effecting the increase of the Revolving Commitments under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (w) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase, (x) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the BorrowerBorrowers and any other Credit Party in any Loan Document to which such LoanCredit Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited hereunder, (y) the BorrowerBorrowers, after giving effect to the full amount of the increase of Revolving Commitments as Indebtedness, would be in pro forma compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.08 and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by an Authorized Officer of (A) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by the BorrowerBorrowers to authorize such increase and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase and any other Credit Party authorizing such Credit Party, as applicable, to provide security interests in respect of such increase; (ii) an opinion of counsel to the BorrowerBorrowers, the Guarantors, and the other Credit Parties and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; (iii) new Revolving Facility Notes executed by the BorrowerBorrowers, payable to any new Lenders and replacement Revolving Facility Notes executed by the BorrowerBorrowers, payable to any existing Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitments, in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, (iv) an updated “Eagle 9” insurance policy which increases the coverage thereunder by the amount of such increase in the Revolving Commitments, and (v) a certificate from an Authorized Officer certifying the matters referred to in the preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z). In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
Section 2.15 Extension of Revolving Facility Termination Date.
The BorrowerBorrowers shall have the option, exercisable one time, to extend the current Revolving Facility Termination Date by one year. The BorrowerBorrowers may exercise such option by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 30 days and not more than 90 days prior to the currently Revolving Facility Termination Date, a written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders if it receives an Extension Request promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Revolving Facility Termination Date shall be extended to December 12, 2022May 4, 2025 effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Extension Request and payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (ii): (i) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the BorrowerBorrowers and each other Credit Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly related solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents and (ii) the BorrowerBorrowers shall have paid the fees payable under Section 2.09(b). At any time prior to the effectiveness of such extension, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate from an Authorized Officer certifying the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i)(x) and (i)(y).
Section 2.16 Reallocation.
The Administrative Agent, the BorrowerBorrowers and each Lender agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the amount of the Revolving Commitment of each Lender is as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Revolving
Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be reallocated among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages. To effect such reallocations, each Lender who had no Revolving Commitment (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (an “Assignee Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased from the sole Lender who had a Revolving Commitment under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (the “Assignor Lender”) such Assignee Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Revolving Commitment of the Assignor Lender so that the Revolving Loans that were outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement are held by each of the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage (as of the Closing Date) of such outstanding Revolving Loans. Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of Assignment Agreements without the payment of any related assignment fee, and except for Revolving Facility Notes to be provided to the Assignor Lender (all of which are hereby waived). The Assignor Lender and the Assignee Lenders shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct (after giving effect to the making of any Loans to be made on the Closing Date and any netting transactions effected by the Administrative Agent) with respect to such reallocations and assignments so that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders.
ARTICLE III.
INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY AND TAXES
Section 3.01 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.
(a) In the event that (y) in the case of clause (i) and (iv) below, the Administrative Agent or (z) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined on a reasonable basis (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):
(i) on any date for determining the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Loan for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in this Agreement for such Eurodollar Loan; or
(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable by it hereunder in an amount that such Lender deems material with respect to any Eurodollar Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of any Connection Income Taxes) or its Revolving Commitment because of any Change in Law that (x) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, 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 (other than any reserves already includable in the interest rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan pursuant to this Agreement); or (y) imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;
(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Change in Law, or would conflict
with any thereof not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially adversely affects the London interbank market; or
(iv) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Eurodollar Loans as provided herein; or
then, and in each such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall (1) on or promptly following such date or time and (2) within 10 Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower Representative and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the affected Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion given by the Borrower Representative with respect to such Eurodollar Loans that have not yet been incurred, Converted or Continued shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower Representative or, in the case of a Notice of Borrowing, shall, at the option of the Borrower Representative, be deemed converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of Borrowing, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the BorrowerBorrowers shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender or shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable, submitted to the Borrower Representative by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the BorrowerBorrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.01(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.
(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (a)(iii), the BorrowerBorrowers may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) the BorrowerBorrowers shall) either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower Representative was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (a)(iii), cancel said Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing, convert the related Notice of Borrowing into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected Lender to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to Convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan; provided, however, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.01(b).
(c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date, any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity
requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material to the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the BorrowerBorrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.01(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’sBorrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01(c). The BorrowerBorrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such notice within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the party of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the BorrowerBorrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(d) If any Change in Law shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, principal amount of its Loans, its Revolving Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient hereunder (whether principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon the request of such Recipient, the BorrowerBorrowers shall pay such additional amounts as will compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered ((a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Recipient, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable, submitted to the Borrower Representative by such Recipient shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto). Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.01(d), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’sBorrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01(d). The BorrowerBorrowers shall pay such Recipient the amount shown as due on any such notice within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the party of any Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) shall not constitute a waiver of such Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the BorrowerBorrowers shall not be required to compensate a Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Recipient notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.01(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) Thomson Reuters or Bloomberg (or any Person that takes over the administration of such rate) discontinues its administration and publication of interest settlement rates for deposits in Dollars, or (iii) the supervisor for the administrator of the interest settlement rate described in Section 3.01(a) or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such interest settlement rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall seek to jointly agree upon an alternate rate of interest to the Eurodollar Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall amend this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.12 hereof, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 3.01(d), (x) any request pursuant that requests the conversion to, or continuation of any, Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective and any such Eurodollar Loan shall be continued as or converted to, as the case may be, a Base Rate Loan, and (y) if any request is made for a Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan. If the alternate rate of interest determined pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
(e) Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i) Replacing USD LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of USD LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR tenor settings. On the earliest of (i) July 1, 2023, (ii) the date that all Available Tenors of USD LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (iii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is USD LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.
(ii) Replacing Future Benchmarks. If any Benchmark Transition Event occurs after the date hereof (other than as described above with respect to USD LIBOR), the then-current Benchmark will be replaced with the Benchmark Replacement for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting on the later of (i) as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative or (ii) such other date
as may be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time (or, in the case of clause (ii) above, such time as may be specified by the Administrative Agent as a deadline to receive objections, but in any case, no less than five (5) Business Days after the date such notice is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative), written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrowers may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower Representative’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.
(iii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement (whether in connection with the replacement of USD LIBOR or any future Benchmark), the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(iv) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section including, without limitation, any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment, or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, the timing of implementation of any Benchmark Replacement or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error and may be made in its 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, and shall not be a basis of any claim of liability of any kind or nature by any party hereto, all such claims being hereby waived individually by each party hereto.
(v) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for such Benchmark (including any Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) if such tenor becomes available or representative, the Administrative Agent may reinstate any previously removed tenor for such Benchmark (including any Benchmark Replacement) settings.

The written request of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the BorrowerCredit Parties. The Credit Parties 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.

payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 the Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 Business Days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(b) 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.

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.03, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.03(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of thea Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, an applicable form of U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide an applicable form of U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable 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 applicable law to permit the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

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 subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This 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) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests any compensation, reimbursement or other payment under Section 3.01(a)(ii), Section 3.01(c), or Section 3.01(d) with respect to such Lender, (ii) the Borrower isBorrowers are, or because of a matter in existence as of the date that the Borrower isBorrowers are seeking to exercise itstheir rights under this Section will be, required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 3.03, or (iii) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the BorrowerBorrowers may, at itstheir sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 11.06(c)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (1) the BorrowerBorrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall be made the exercise of its Permitted Discretion and shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (2) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the BorrowerBorrowers (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Section 3.02 hereof), and (3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation, reimbursement or other payments required to be made under Section 3.01(a)(ii), Section 3.01(c) or Section 3.01(d) with respect to such Lender, or resulting from any required payments to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 3.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation, reimbursement or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the BorrowerBorrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Days of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.18(b).
(c) Each Lender and Secured Creditor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Creditor under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Creditor from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Revolving Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Revolving Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment Agreement by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Revolving Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Revolving Commitments of any Lender and such Revolving Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Secured Creditor under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).
(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement, or

(b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder or under any of the Revolving Facility Notes to an Eligible Assignee or any other Person (other than a natural person or theany Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or SubsidiariesAffiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower), provided that in the case of any such participation,
(i) the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including rights of consent, approval or waiver (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto),
(ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Revolving Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged,
(iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
(iv) such Lender shall remain the holder of the Obligations owing to it and of any Revolving Facility Note issued to it for all purposes of this Agreement, and

granting the participations or (B) such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any of the Loans in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Revolving Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of any such Revolving Commitment), (y) release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, or release any guarantor from its guaranty of any of the Obligations, except in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by theany Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and, provided still further that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.02 and Section 3.03 with respect to its participation as if it was a Lender, except that a participant (i) shall deliver the forms described in Section 3.03(g) only to the Lender granting it such participation and (ii) agrees to be subject to Section 3.04 as though it were an assignee under subpart (c) of this Section and (iii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the participation, except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment arose from a Change in Law, after the participant became a participant hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.09 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its participants.
In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Loan, such Lender shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the BorrowerBorrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in such Loan and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Loan that is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of a Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Representative and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; 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, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(c) Assignments by Lenders.
(i) Any Lender may assign all, or if less than all, a fixed portion, of its Loans and/or Revolving Commitment and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided, however, that
(A) except in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans and/or Revolving Commitments or (y) an assignment to
another Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment so assigned (which for this purpose includes the Loans outstanding thereunder) shall not be less than $5,000,000;

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for a Hedging Obligation or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the 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. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b) As used in this Section 11.29, the following terms have the following meanings:
(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
(ii) “Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(A) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b);
(B) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or
(C) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).
(iii) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
(iv) “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

(a) All Obligations shall be joint and several Obligations of the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors shall have the right to deal with any Authorized Officer of the Borrower Representative or any other Borrower with regard to all matters concerning the rights and obligations of any Lender or other Secured Creditor hereunder and pursuant to applicable law with regard to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.

To the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment or performance with respect to any of the Obligations, then the other Borrowers will do so, when and as due. Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability to the extent set forth above herein in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Lenders and other Secured Creditors under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each the other applicable Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the other applicable Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

or any other Credit Party, exhaust their respective remedies against any of the other Borrowers or any other Credit Party, resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations, or elect any other remedy. If any payment made on the Obligations is rescinded or must be returned by any Secured Creditor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 11.30 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, to the extent the joint obligations of a Borrower or any other Credit Party shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each Borrower and each other Credit Party hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect), after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower’s and such Credit Party’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Borrower or other Credit Party under applicable law.
