Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or any such default in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders. Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, the Lenders agree that the Required Lenders shall have the sole right to determine a course of action for the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders, and the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability for so refraining) unless and until the Agent shall have received written instructions from the Required Lenders. All rights of action under the Loan Documents may be enforced by the Agent (at the written direction of the Required Lenders) and any suit or proceeding instituted by the Agent in furtherance of such enforcement shall be brought in its name as the Agent without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any Lender, and the recovery of any judgment shall be for the benefit of the Lenders subject to the fees, expenses and other amounts payable to the Agent. Any and all agreements to subordinate (whether made heretofore or hereafter) other Debt or obligations of the Covered Parties to the Loans or the Obligations shall be construed as being for the benefit of each Lender. 9.6 Credit Decision.

 
67 LEGAL_US_E # 185861857.6 Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and the Group Companies, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Group Companies, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Companies. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of any Group Company which may come into the possession of Agent. The Lenders and any transferees or assignees after the Effective Date will be required to provide to the Agent or its agents all information, documentation or certifications reasonably requested by the Agent to permit the Agent to comply with its tax reporting obligations under applicable laws, including any applicable cost basis reporting obligations. 9.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify promptly upon demand and hold harmless Agent and its directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents (to the extent not timely and indefeasibly indemnified and reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Term Loan Share, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including Legal Costs, of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent and its directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents, in any way arising out of, the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, the Related Transactions or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent or its directors, officers, employees, advisors or agents under or in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF AGENT OR ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ADVISORS OR AGENTS); provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses that have resulted solely and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or its directors, officers, employees, advisors or agents, as determined by the final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Legal Costs) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.7 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, termination of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Obligations hereunder and thereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s Pro Rata Term Loan Share shall be determined based upon its share of the outstanding Loans at such time (or if such indemnity payment is sought after the date on which the Loans

 
68 LEGAL_US_E # 185861857.6 have been Paid in Full in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Term Share immediately prior to the date on which the Loans are Paid in Full). 9.8 Agent Individually. The Agent and its Affiliates may, to the extent applicable, make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Group Company and any Affiliate of any Group Company as though the Agent were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, the Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Group Companies or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of any such Group Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), the Agent and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though the Agent were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include the Agent and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities. 9.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Lenders (unless such notice is waived by Required Lenders) and Borrower. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, Required Lenders shall, with the consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, the Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank, who shall serve as Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing sentence by such 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. 9.10 [Reserved]. 9.11 [Reserved]. 9.12 Actions in Concert.

 
69 LEGAL_US_E # 185861857.6 For the sake of clarity, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the written direction or with the written consent of Agent or Required Lenders. 9.13 [Reserved]. 9.14 Erroneous Payments. (a) If the Agent provides written notice to a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, but in any event excluding the Loan Parties and their Affiliates other than Affiliated Debt Funds, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within ninety (90) days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Days thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Agent, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by notice of payment, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each case: (i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and (ii) such Payment Recipient shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14(b).

 
70 LEGAL_US_E # 185861857.6 (c) The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason (and without limiting the Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 9.14), the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower (d) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all deposits of such Lender (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by or on behalf of the Agent (or its Affiliates, including by branches and agencies of the Agent, wherever located) for the account of to such Lender against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. (e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower, 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 Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such 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 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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, neither any Covered Party nor any of its respective Affiliates (other than any Affiliated Lender or Affiliated Debt Fund who is a Payment Recipient) shall have any obligations or liabilities (including the payment of any assignment or processing fee payable to the Agent in connection therewith) directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 9.14 in respect of any Erroneous Payment (other than having consented to the assignment referenced in Section 10.8). Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. 9.15 Force Majeure. The Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority; acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; pandemics; riots; interruptions, losses or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions; or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility. 9.16 Proof of Claim.

71 LEGAL_US_E # 185861857.6 (a) at the written direction of the Required Lenders, to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable and documented out- of-pocket compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same. Any custodian, receiver, receiver-manager, monitor, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Loans or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. Section 10. Miscellaneous. 10.1 Waiver; Amendments. (a) No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (or any subordination provision relating to any subordination provision relating to any Debt that is contractually subordinated to the Obligations) shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and by Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that: (i) no such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby, in addition to Required Lenders and the Borrower, do any of the following: (1) [reserved], (2) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan, it being understood that the waiver of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness of principal, the amount or rate of interest thereon (provided that Required Lenders may rescind an imposition of default interest pursuant to Section 2.7.1) (provided that the Required Lenders may waive the application of Section 2.10.2); provided, further, that only the Lenders participating in such reduction of the amount of any such Loan, the amount or rate of such interest thereon, or any such fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be considered directly affected by such reduction, (3) amend the provisions of Section 2.12.2 or change or have the effect of changing the priority or pro rata treatment of any payments (including voluntary and mandatory prepayments) or (4) subordinate the right of payment of all or any portion of the Obligations (as such definition was in effect on the Effective Date) to any other Debt; and (ii) no such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders in addition to the Borrower (with respect to Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party), do any of the following: (1) extend final maturity of any Loans, it being understand that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an

(b) No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, in addition to the Borrower and Required Lenders (or all Lenders directly affected thereby or all of the Lenders, as the case may be in accordance with the provisions above), affect the rights, privileges, duties or obligations of Agent (including without limitation under the provisions of Section 9) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective as to the Agent until the Agent receives a copy of such amendment, waiver or consent. (c) No failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section 10.1, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. (d) [Reserved]. (e) [Reserved].

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.1 or any other Loan Document, no Lender consent (other than that of Agent (acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders)) is required to enter into or effect any amendment or supplement to any subordination or intercreditor agreement (i) that is for the purpose of adding any holders of Debt, respectively, as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of such subordination or intercreditor agreement (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as are required to effectuate the foregoing; provided that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders), or (ii) that is expressly contemplated by such subordination or intercreditor agreement; provided that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of Agent. (g) Certain Other Amendments. This Agreement may be amended and waived with the consent of the Agent at the written request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to cure ambiguities, mistakes, errors, omissions or defects (as reasonably determined by the Agent and the Borrower with such determination being conclusive and binding), (ii) to effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature (as conclusively determined by the Agent and the Borrower in good faith) or (iii) to cure incorrect cross references or similar inaccuracies (as conclusively determined by the Agent and the Borrower in good faith). 10.2 Notices. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile, email and other electronic transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its

 
73 LEGAL_US_E # 185861857.6 address shown on Annex II or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above or elsewhere in this Agreement, unless the Borrower elects otherwise, all obligations of any Person that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on February 25, 2016 of an Accounting Standards Update (the “ASU”) shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases (and not be treated as financing or capital lease obligations or Debt) for purposes of all financial definitions, calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including the calculation of Capital Lease, Adjusted EBITDA, Secured Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio, Senior Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio, Senior Gross Debt to EBITDA Ratio, Total Gross Debt to EBITDA Ratio or Total Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio and Debt) (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required in accordance with the ASU or any other change in accounting treatment or otherwise (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as or to be recharacterized as financing or capital lease obligations or otherwise accounted for as liabilities in financial statements. 10.4 Costs; Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Legal Costs) incurred by (i) the Agent (but not the Lenders, who, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be solely responsible for payment of all costs and expenses (including Legal Costs) incurred by the Lenders in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, administration and syndication of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder shall be consummated)) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, administration and syndication of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder shall be consummated), (ii) the

75 LEGAL_US_E # 185861857.6 roles in their capacities as such, shall remain indemnified in respect of such a Proceeding, to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in any of clauses (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding proviso apply to such person at such time. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable Law. All Obligations provided for in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, the resignation or replacement of the Agent and termination of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and the Obligations thereunder. 10.6 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to Agent or any Lender, or Agent or any Lender enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent or any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation hereunder or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Agent upon demand its ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by Agent to the extent paid to such Lender. 10.7 Non-Liability of Lenders.

Any such assignment of Term Loans (other than any assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 (or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) or, if less, the remaining principal amount held by the assignor of the Loan being assigned or, if less, the remaining principal amount held by the assignor of the Loan being assigned.

(b) Subject to acceptance and recording of an Assignment Agreement by Agent pursuant to Section 10.8.1(c) below, from and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) a Note in the principal amount of the Assignee’s Term Loans (and, as applicable, a Note in the principal amount of the Term Loans retained by the assigning Lender). Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Upon receipt by the assigning Lender of such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to the Borrower any prior Note held by it, except that this clause (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis. (c) Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior written notice to Agent. This Section 10.8.1(c) shall

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.8.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans and its Note (i) as collateral security to a Federal Reserve Bank or, as applicable, to such Lender’s trustee for the benefit of its investors (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder) and (ii) to (w) an Affiliate of such Lender, (x) its direct or indirect parent company, (y) to one or more other Lenders or (z) to an Approved Fund. 10.8.2 [Reserved]. 10.8.3 Affiliated Lenders. Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (i) “Dutch Auctions” open to all Lenders in accordance with customary procedures substantially consistent with those set forth on Exhibit J or (ii) purchases on a non- pro rata basis by way of assignment, in each case subject to the following limitations applicable to Affiliated Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds; provided that, any Affiliated Debt Fund shall not be subject to the limitations set forth below: (a) such Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Agent or any Lender except to the extent such materials are made available to the Borrower and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Agent; and (b) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, which shall clearly identify the Affiliated Lender as an “Affiliated Lender” and contain a customary “big boy” representation; provided that no representation as to the absence of any material non-public information shall be required. Any Affiliated Lender may, in its discretion (but is not required to), assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans under this Agreement to the Borrower (regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom) on a non-pro rata basis, for purposes of cancelling such Loans, which may include contribution (with the consent of the Borrower) to the Borrower (whether through any parent entity of the Borrower or otherwise) in exchange for Equity Interests of the Borrower or any direct or indirect parent entity of the Borrower. Each Affiliated Lender and each Affiliated Debt Fund agrees to notify the Agent promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Agent promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender or an Affiliated Debt Fund. 10.8.4 [Reserved]. 10.8.5 [Reserved]. 10.8.6 Sponsor Purchase Right.
