(e) 150BEach payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the applicable Lenders.

Payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, as otherwise provided in clause (i) of the definition of “UInterest PeriodU”). In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(g) 152BUnless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 2.15(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on such Borrowing Date.
2.16 28BURequirements of Law

(ii) 210Bshall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or
(iii) 211Bshall impose on such Lender any other condition;
(iv) 212Band the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable, provided that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable discretion, in any legal, economic or regulatory manner) to designate a different Eurodollar lending office if the making of such designation would allow the Lender or its Eurodollar lending office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Loans and avoid the need for, or materially reduce the amount of, such increased cost. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 2.16, it shall promptly notify the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. If the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after any Lender notifies the Borrower of any increased cost pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.16(a), the Borrower may convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender then outstanding into ABR Loans in accordance with subsection 2.10 and shall, additionally, reimburse such Lender for any cost in accordance with subsection 2.18.
(b) 153BIf any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender, to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
(c) 154BA certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection 2.16, showing in reasonable detail the calculation thereof and certifying that it is generally charging such costs to other similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities, submitted by any Lender through the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, provided that the determination of such amounts shall be made in good faith in a manner generally consistent with such Lender’s standard practices. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder for a period of nine months thereafter.

Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.

In addition, each Non U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms on or before the expiration or obsolescence and promptly upon the invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms. Each Non-U.S. Lender (and, if applicable, any other Lender or Transferee) agrees, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower, to provide to the Borrower (for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection 2.17(b), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection 2.17(b) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) receives a refund in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes paid by the Borrower, it shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other amounts paid by the Borrower in connection with such refunded Non-Excluded Taxes, to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund, provided that the Borrower agrees to promptly return such refund to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender if it receives notices from the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender that such Administrative Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund.
2.18 30BUIndemnity
The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss (excluding loss of profit) or expense which such Lender actually incurs as a consequence of (a) withdrawal of notice given by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this subsection 2.18, showing in reasonable detail the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder for a period of one month thereafter.
2.19 31BUChange of Lending Office
Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of subsection 2.16 or 2.17(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower (for itself), use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event, provided that such designation is made on terms that in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this subsection 2.19 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to subsection 2.16 or 2.17(a).
2.20 32BUReplacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances
If at any time (a) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts described in subsection 2.16 or 2.17 as a result of any condition described in such subsections or any Lender ceases to make Eurodollar Loans pursuant to subsection 2.16, (b) any Lender becomes insolvent and its assets become subject to a receiver, liquidator, trustee, custodian or other Person having similar powers, (c) any Lender becomes a “Non-Consenting Lender” (as defined below in this subsection 2.20) or (d) any Lender becomes a “Non-Funding Lender”, then the Borrower may, on ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to subsection 10.6(b) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Lender or other entity selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans, reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender) for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Loans and all accrued interest and fees and other amounts payable hereunder (including amounts payable under subsection 2.18 as though such Loans were being paid instead of being purchased), provided that (i) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such entity, (ii) in the event of a replacement of a Non-Consenting Lender or a Lender to which the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to clause (a) of this subsection 2.20, in order for the Borrower to be entitled to replace such a Lender, such replacement must take place no later than 180 days after (A) the date the Non-Consenting Lender shall have notified the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its failure to agree to any requested consent, waiver or amendment or (B) the Lender shall have demanded payment of additional amounts under one of the subsections described in clause (a) of this subsection 2.20, as the case may be, and (iii) in no event shall the Lender hereby replaced be required to pay or surrender to such replacement Lender or other entity any of the fees received by such Lender hereby replaced pursuant to this Agreement. In the case of a replacement of a Lender to which the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to clause (a) of this subsection 2.20, the Borrower shall pay such additional amounts to such Lender prior to such Lender being replaced and the payment of such additional amounts shall be a condition to the replacement of such Lender. In the event that (x) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment thereto, (y) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all Lenders in accordance with the terms of subsection 10.1 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain class of the Loans and (z) Required Lenders or more than 50% of the class of such Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “UNon-Consenting LenderU”. The Borrower’s right to replace a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.20 is, and shall be, in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies available to the Borrower against such Non-Funding Lender under this Agreement, at law, in equity, or by statute.
2.21 33BUNotice of Certain Costs
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by subsection 2.15 through and including subsection 2.18 is given by any Lender more than 90 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such subsections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under such subsections for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

(iv) 215BThe Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “URegisterU”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any other Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(vi) 217BAny Assignee that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.17 unless such Assignee complies with subsection 2.17(b). In no event shall an Assignee be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive as of the date of the assignment with respect to the Loan, Commitment or L/C Obligation (or portion of any thereof) sold to such Assignee (other than as a result of an adoption of or change in any Requirement of Law occurring after the date of the assignment).
(c) 196B(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “UParticipantU”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of subsection 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this subsection, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to subsection 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.
(ii) 218BAny Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.17 unless such Participant complies with subsection 2.17(b). In no event shall a Participant be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.
(d) 197BAny Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this subsection shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Any Approved Fund may, without the consent of the Borrower or Administrative Agent, pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities; provided that any foreclosure or similar action by such trustee or representative shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection 10.6(b) concerning assignments.
(e) 198BThe Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender and in order to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above, agree to execute and deliver to such Lender (i) a promissory note evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 (each as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, a “URevolving Credit NoteU”), and/or (ii) a promissory note evidencing the applicable Delayed-Draw Term Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 (each as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, a “UDelayed-Draw Term NoteU”), and/or (iii) a promissory note evidencing the Swingline Loans of the Swingline Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit I-3 (as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “USwingline NoteU”).
(f) 199BThe Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “UTransfereeU”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information concerning the Loan Parties and their respective affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Loan Parties and their respective affiliates, under the condition that such Transferee or prospective Transferee shall previously have agreed to be bound by the provisions of subsection 10.15.
