B.            借款人已請求修改信貸協議,以設立總本金等於4.5億美元的新期限貸款,這些新期限貸款應構成對2024年新期限貸款的增加,並且在修正生效日期後應屬於相同種類的期限貸款;並在這方面對信貸協議作出部分修改,每種情況在此處均有詳細說明。

 

C.            通過向本《第十一修約》交付並執行簽署頁,行政代理人、抵押代理人和2024-2新期限貸款人(如下定義),在修正生效日期,僅憑此類執行和交付行爲,將被視爲已無可撤銷地同意本《第十一修約》和修改後的信貸協議的條款。

第二篇

 

2024年2月 新期承諾和2024年2月新期貸款;行政代理人授權

 

第2.1節          2024年第2學期 新學期承諾和2024年第2學期新貸款.

 

(a)           在 根據信貸協議第 2.24 節,並以滿足第 4.1 節規定的條件爲前提 在本修正案生效之日及之日起,執行本第十一修正案並交付簽名頁的每位人員 作爲 「2024-2 年新定期貸款人」(每家,a”2024-2 新定期貸款人” 總的來說,”2024-2 新定期貸款人”)同意該2024-2年新定期貸款機構應在修正後的信貸下提供新期限承諾 協議金額等於標題爲 「類型」 的2024-2新定期貸款人名稱對應的金額 《承諾》附於此 附錄 B (每個,一個”2024-2 新任期承諾” 總而言之, 這個”2024-2 新任期承諾”,以及在修正案生效之日獲得資助的2024-2年新任期承諾, 這個”2024-2 新定期貸款”).

 

(b)           根據信用協議第2.24節的規定,並在此處所述條件滿足的前提下,在修正生效日期當日,每個2024-2新期限貸款人同意,該2024-2新期限貸款人應(A)在修正生效日期向借款人提供理應於其2024-2新期限承諾金額相等的2024-2新期限貸款,及(B)成爲「2024-2新期限貸款人」、「2024新期限貸款人」、「新期限貸款人」、「期限貸款人」、「貸款人」和「擔保方」,在修正後的信用協議及其他貸款文件下持有「2024-2新期限貸款」、「2024新期限貸款」、「新期限貸款」、「期限貸款」和「貸款」,並應遵守並受那些條款約束,並履行「2024-2新期限貸款人」、「2024新期限貸款人」、「新期限貸款人」、「期限貸款人」、「貸款人」和「擔保方」的所有義務,以及應享有所有相應權利。

 

(c)           2024-2新任期承諾的設立,以及在修正有效日期上得到資金後,2024-2新任期貸款,應構成維持與2024年新任期承諾和2024年新任期貸款相同種類的承諾和貸款的增加。在實施本第十一修正案後,2024-2新任期貸款的條款、規定和文件應與在修正有效日期生效後的現有2024年新任期貸款完全相同(包括涉及看漲保護、利率邊際和利率底線,但不包括與前期費用、OID或類似費用有關,也不包括本第十一修正案和修訂後的信貸協議中另有規定的內容)。爲美國聯邦所得稅目的,本方擬將2024-2新任期貸款視爲可與現有的2024年新任期貸款相互替代。

(d)           根據本第十一修正案及修訂信用協議,在修正生效日期由2024-2新期貸款人提供2024-2新期貸款資金後,(x) 2024-2新期承諾的總額將自動減少至零,(y) 根據修訂信用協議,2024年新期貸款(包括所有2024-2新期貸款)尚未償還的總本金將為1,320,625,000美元。

 

(e)           各方在此均同意,行政代理人可以採取任何合理必要的行動,以確保所有2024-2新貸款在修訂生效日資金到位時,作為信貸協議及其他貸款文件中的所有目的均為2024新貸款,並按比例納入每次借款的未償還2024新貸款中。這可以通過將每筆2024-2新貸款的一部分按比例分配給每筆未償還的、為2024新貸款的期貸SOFR貸款來實現,即使因此造成該2024-2新貸款的利息期間實際上短於納入該借款的一部分的2024新貸款(且不管信貸協議中的其他條款是否禁止此類初始利息期間)。2024-2新貸款在修訂生效日前不會產生利息,借款人在修訂生效日前根據信貸協議第2.06條不需要支付2024-2新貸款的利息。

 

(f)            2024-2年新期限貸款人對2024-2年新期限承諾的承諾和承諾各有不同,並非聯合,因此沒有任何一個2024-2年新期限貸款人應該對其他任何一個2024-2年新期限貸款人未能在修訂生效日期提供2024-2年新期限承諾或資金的失敗負責。

 

(g)           每個2024-2新期貸款人聲明並擔保,就提供此處所提供的2024-2新期承諾和2024-2新期貸款的決定而言,它是經驗豐富的,並且對提供此類資產具有豐富經驗的人亦或決定提供2024-2新期承諾和2024-2新期貸款的人,如果有,也具有相應經驗。

 

(h)           各2024-2新期限貸款人在此聲明並擔保已收取Amended Credit Agreement和其他貸款文件的副本,並已收到或已獲得機會獲取根據Amended Credit Agreement第5.04條交付的最新基本報表的副本,以及其認為適當以進行自身信貸分析和進入本第十一修改案並提供其2024-2新期限承諾和根據此處和Amended Credit Agreement所述的2024-2新期限貸款所需的其他文件和信息。

 

第2.2節          管理 代理授權借款人和2024-2新期限貸款人授權管理代理:(i) 判斷所有2024-2新期限貸款人的承諾和貸款金額、百分比和其他相關信息,這些金額、百分比和其他信息僅在管理代理收到所有2024-2新期限貸款人的簽名頁後才能確定;以及(ii) 在修訂後的信用協議中輸入和完成所有這些金額、百分比和其他信息。管理代理的判斷和輸入完成將是決定性的,並且在沒有明顯可證錯誤的情況下,將成為關於借款人根據修訂後的信用協議的義務之存在、金額、百分比和其他信息的鑒定證據。為避免疑義,信用協議和修訂後的信用協議的第VIII條和第9.05條的條款將適用於管理代理根據此進行的任何判斷、輸入或完成 第2.2節.
