Attention: Jean Hu, Chief Financial Officer

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Marvell Technology Group Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“you” or “Maui”), has advised JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (“JPMorgan”, the “Commitment Party”, “we” or “us”) that it intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”) a Delaware corporation previously identified to us and codenamed “Indigo” (the “Target”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Acquired Business”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization, to be dated as of the date hereof (including the exhibits and schedules thereto, collectively, the “Acquisition Agreement”), by and among Maui, Target, Maui Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maui (“Holdco” or the “Borrower”), Maui Acquisition Company Ltd, a Bermuda exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Bermuda Merger Sub”), and Indigo Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Delaware Merger Sub”), in accordance with which: (i) Bermuda Merger Sub will merge with and into you, with you surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (the “Reorganization”); and (ii) Delaware Merger Sub will merge with and into the Target, with the Target surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco and with the existing equity holders of the Target being entitled to receive the aggregate cash consideration (the “Acquisition Cash Consideration”) and newly issued shares of common stock of the Borrower (the “Acquisition Common Stock Consideration” and together with the Acquisition Cash Consideration, the “Acquisition Consideration”), in each case, as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, and, in connection therewith, to repay certain existing indebtedness of the Acquired Business. The date of the consummation of the Acquisition is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. In connection therewith, you, the Borrower and we have entered into a commitment letter (the “Bridge Commitment Letter”) dated as of the date hereof providing for a 364-day senior unsecured bridge term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000,000 (the “Bridge Facility”).

In connection therewith, you have advised us that the Borrower intends to obtain (i) a new unsecured term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000 on the terms set forth in Exhibit A (the “Term Facility”, and loans thereunder, the “Term Loans”) and (ii) a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 on the terms set forth in Exhibit C (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Facilities”), which Revolving Facility will be implemented either as a new

credit facility or as an amendment to, or amendment and restatement of, the Credit Agreement dated as of June 13, 2018 among Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as general administrative agent and term facility agent, Bank of America, N.A., as revolving facility agent, Maui, as borrower, and the lenders party thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement”). You have further advised us that the total amount required to effect the Acquisition (excluding common stock of the Borrower to be issued as direct consideration for the Acquisition), to repay certain existing indebtedness of the Acquired Business, and to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith (the “Transaction Costs”) is expected to be provided by a combination of (a) the issuance by you or the Borrower of unsecured debt securities, in public or private offerings the proceeds of which are to be used to finance the Transactions (the “Debt Securities”), (b) the incurrence by you or the Borrower of the Term Facility and/or (c) to the extent that Debt Securities are not issued on or prior to the Closing Date in an aggregate amount of at least $2,500,000,000, the borrowing by the Borrower of loans under the Bridge Facility. You have further advised us that in connection therewith, it is expected that either (i) the term loan facility under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended prior to the Closing Date to permit the Transactions (as defined below) or (ii) all outstanding term loans thereunder shall be repaid in full. The Acquisition, the entering into and funding of the Term Facility and the Bridge Facility, the entering into of the Revolving Facility, the issuance of Securities, the repayment of certain existing indebtedness of the Acquired Business and the transactions contemplated by or related to the foregoing are collectively referred to as the “Transactions”.

1. Commitment

The Commitment Party is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide (i) the entire amount of the Term Facility (the “Term Commitment”) upon the terms set forth or referred to in this facilities commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (together with Exhibit D hereto, the “Term Facility Term Sheet”) and subject solely to the Term Funding Conditions (as defined below) and (ii) $100,000,000 of the Revolving Facility (the “Revolving Commitment”) upon the terms and conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit C (together with Exhibit D hereto, the “Revolving Facility Term Sheet” and together with the Term Facility Term Sheet and Exhibit B hereto, the “Term Sheets”).

2. Titles and Roles

It is agreed that (i) with respect to the Term Facility and/or any other term loan facility or revolving credit facility entered into by you in connection with the Acquisition, the initial financing of the Acquisition and the refinancing of any interim debt for the Acquisition (the “Other Bank Financing”), JPMorgan will act as the sole and exclusive administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and that JPMorgan will act as the sole and exclusive lead arranger and bookrunner (in such capacities, the “Term Lead Arranger”) and (ii) with respect to the Revolving Facility, JPMorgan will act as lead “left” arranger and bookrunner (it being understood that JPMorgan will have “left lead” placement in all documentation used in connection with the Revolving Facility, and JPMorgan shall have all roles and responsibilities customarily associated with such placement) (in such capacities, the “Revolving Lead Arranger” and together in its capacity as Term Lead Arranger, the “Lead Arranger”) and a financial institution providing a commitment in respect of the Revolving Facility of at least $100,000,000 shall be appointed by you to act as administrative agent; provided that the Borrower agrees that JPMorgan may perform its responsibilities hereunder through its affiliate J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. You agree that with respect to the Term Facility and any Other Bank Financing, no other

 

2


agents, co-agents, bookrunners or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than as expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid; provided, you may assign agent or co-agent titles as reasonably agreed by us.

It is understood and agreed that this Commitment Letter shall not constitute a commitment to provide, arrange or syndicate any portion of the Revolving Facility or any Other Bank Financing in excess of the Commitment Party’s express commitments hereunder. You and the Borrower further acknowledge and agree that this Commitment Letter is not a guarantee with respect to the successful outcome of the syndication of any Facility.

3. Syndication

We intend to syndicate the Facilities to a group of financial institutions (together with JPMorgan, the “Lenders”) identified by us in consultation with you. JPMorgan intends to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter and the execution of the Acquisition Agreement (which syndication shall not reduce the commitments of the Commitment Party hereunder with respect to the Term Facility, except as provided for in the first paragraph of Section 10 hereof). Until the earlier of 60 days following the Closing Date and the later of (x) completion of a Successful Term Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter (as defined below)) and (y) completion of a Successful Revolving Syndication (as defined below) (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), you agree actively to assist (and to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business to actively assist) JPMorgan in completing a Successful Term Syndication and a Successful Revolving Syndication. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending relationships, (b) direct contact between your senior management and advisors and the proposed Lenders (and using your commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such contact between senior management of the Target and the proposed Lenders) on reasonable prior notice and at reasonable times and places, (c) your assistance in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum with respect to the Facilities in form and substance customary for transactions of this type and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to JPMorgan (each a “Confidential Information Memorandum”) and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (collectively with the Term Sheets and any additional summary of terms prepared for distributions to the Public-Siders (as hereafter defined), the “Information Materials”), (d) prior to the completion of a Successful Term Syndication, your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Borrower to have monitored Public Debt Ratings (as defined below) (but no specific rating) that give effect to the Transactions from Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) and (e) the hosting, with JPMorgan, of one or more meetings of prospective Lenders at times and places to be mutually agreed (which meetings may be held virtually). You hereby authorize the Lead Arranger to download copies of your trademark logos from its website and post copies thereof and any Information Materials to a deal site on IntraLinks, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Lead Arranger to be its electronic transmission system (an “Electronic Platform”) established by the Lead Arranger to syndicate the Facilities, and to use the Borrower’s trademark logos on any confidential information memoranda, presentations and other marketing materials prepared in connection with the syndication of the Facilities or, with your consent, in any advertisements that we may place after the closing of the Facilities in financial and other newspapers, journals, the World Wide Web, home page or otherwise, at JPMorgan’s own expense describing its services to the Borrower hereunder. Upon the request of JPMorgan, you will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to

 

3


furnish for no fee, to JPMorgan, an electronic version of the Target’s trademark logos for use in marketing materials for the purpose of facilitating the syndication of the Facilities. You also understand and acknowledge that we may provide to market data collectors, such as league tables, or other service providers to the lending industry, information regarding the closing date, size, type, purpose of, and parties to, the Facilities.

In order to facilitate an orderly and successful syndication of the Facilities, you agree that until the Syndication Date, the Borrower will not (and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business to not) issue, announce, offer, place or arrange debt securities or any syndicated credit facilities of the Borrower or its subsidiaries (or the Acquired Business) (other than (i) the Debt Securities, (ii) the Bridge Facility, (iii) indebtedness permitted to be incurred by the Acquired Business pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, (iv) other indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100,000,000, (v) capital leases, letters of credit and purchase money and equipment financings of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and of the Acquired Business, in each case, in the ordinary course of business, (vi) working capital facilities of foreign subsidiaries and (vii) any other financing agreed by the Lead Arranger), in each case if such issuance, announcement, offering, placement or arrangement could reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities.

You will assist us in preparing Information Materials, including but not limited to a Confidential Information Memorandum or lender slides, for distribution to prospective Lenders. If requested, you also will assist us in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials (the “Public-Side Version”) to be used by prospective Lenders’ public-side employees and representatives (“Public-Siders”) who do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal securities laws) with respect to you, the Target, the Borrower, their respective affiliates and any of their respective securities (“MNPI”) and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to you, the Target, the Borrower’s or their affiliates’ securities or loans. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to execute and deliver to us (i) a customary letter in which you authorize distribution of the Information Materials to a prospective Lender’s employees willing to receive MNPI (“Private-Siders”) and (ii) a separate customary letter in which you authorize distribution of the Public-Side Version to Public-Siders not containing any MNPI. You also acknowledge that publishing debt analysts employed by JPMorgan and its affiliates who are Public-Siders may participate in any meetings or telephone conference calls held pursuant to clause (e) of the first paragraph of Section 3 of this Commitment Letter; provided that such analysts shall not publish any information obtained from such meetings or calls (i) until the syndication of the Facilities has been completed upon the making of allocations by JPMorgan and JPMorgan freeing the Facilities to trade or (ii) in violation of any confidentiality agreement between you and JPMorgan.

The Borrower agrees that the following documents may be distributed to both Private-Siders and Public-Siders, unless the Borrower advises JPMorgan in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to Private-Siders: (a) administrative materials prepared by JPMorgan for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda), (b) term sheets summarizing the Facilities’ terms and notification of changes in the Facilities’ terms and (c) other materials intended for prospective Lenders after the initial distribution of Information Materials. If you advise us that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to Private-Siders, then Public-Siders will not receive such materials without further discussions with you.

The Borrower hereby authorizes JPMorgan to distribute draft and execution versions of definitive documentation relating to the Facilities to Private-Siders and Public-Siders.

As the Lead Arranger, JPMorgan will manage all aspects of the syndication in consultation with you, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocations of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders; provided that the Lead Arranger will not syndicate to any person (other than those financial institutions (and their affiliates) identified by the Lead Arranger to you in writing on or prior to the date hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those lenders identified in the “syndication plan” for the Facilities agreed to by the Lead Arranger and you prior to the date hereof), any Permitted Assignee and to lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement (other than a “defaulting lender” under and as defined therein, as of the date of such syndication)) without your consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In acting as the Lead Arranger, JPMorgan will have no responsibility other than to arrange the syndication as set forth herein and is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s-length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the arrangement of the Facilities (including in connection with determining the terms of the Facilities) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or any other agreement or undertaking concerning the Term Facility, but without limiting the conditions precedent in Section 6 hereof or Exhibit B, and without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication in this Section 3, none of the foregoing obligations under the provisions of this Section 3 nor the commencement, conduct or completion of the syndication contemplated by this Section 3 is a condition to the Term Commitment or the funding of the Term Facility on the Closing Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting your representation and covenant set forth in Section 4 below, nothing contained in this Commitment Letter shall require you to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any attorney-client privilege, law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality binding on you, the Acquired Business or your or its respective affiliates; provided that you shall (x) use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate, to the extent permitted, the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable law, rule, regulation or obligation and (y) to the extent you are unable to disclose any such information, notify us if any such information is being withheld as a result of any such obligation of confidentiality (but solely if providing such notice would not violate such confidentiality obligation).

4. Information

To assist JPMorgan in its syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide to the Lead Arranger all customary information with respect to the Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections concerning the Borrower and the Acquired Business (the “Projections”), as we may reasonably request in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the Facilities. You hereby represent and covenant (to the best of your knowledge to the extent relating to the Acquired Business) that (a) all written information other than the Projections, forward-looking information and other information of a general economic or industry nature (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to the Lead Arranger by you or any of your representatives in connection with the Transactions, when taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and

 

5


does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made when taken as a whole and giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto and (b) the Projections concerning you, the Borrower and the Acquired Business that have been or will be made available to the Lead Arranger by you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that were believed by the Borrower to be reasonable as of the date such Projections are prepared and as of the date such Projections are made available to the Lead Arranger (it being understood that the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material). If, at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would not be accurate and complete in any material respect (to your knowledge with respect to Information and Projections relating to the Acquired Business) if the Information or Projections were being furnished, and such representations and warranties were being made, at such time, then you agree to promptly supplement the Information and/or Projections so that the representations and warranties contained in this paragraph (to your knowledge with respect to Information and Projections relating to the Acquired Business) remain accurate and complete in all material respects under those circumstances. The accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties shall not be a condition to the obligations of the Commitment Party hereunder unless the inaccuracy results in an express condition hereunder otherwise not being satisfied on the Closing Date. You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Facilities, we may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.

5. Fees

As consideration for JPMorgan’s commitments hereunder and its agreement to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay to JPMorgan the nonrefundable fees set forth in Annex I to each Term Sheet and in the Facilities Fee Letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith (the “Fee Letter”).

You agree that, once paid, the fees or any part thereof payable hereunder or under the Fee Letter shall not be refundable under any circumstances, regardless of whether the transactions or borrowings contemplated by this Commitment Letter are consummated, except as otherwise agreed in writing by you and JPMorgan. All fees payable hereunder and under the Fee Letter shall be paid in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars and shall not be subject to reduction by way of withholding, setoff or counterclaim or be otherwise affected by any claim or dispute related to any other matter. In addition, all fees payable hereunder shall be paid without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any national, state or local taxing authority, or will be grossed up by you for such amounts.

6. Conditions

The Commitment Party’s commitments hereunder, and the Commitment Party’s agreement to perform the services described herein, (I) with respect to the Term Facility, are subject solely to satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions precedent: (a) since the date of the Acquisition Agreement, there shall not have occurred any Target Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), (b) the execution and delivery by the parties thereto of definitive

 

6


documentation with respect to the Term Facility consistent with this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (the “Term Credit Documentation” and the date of effectiveness thereof, the “Term Facility Effective Date”); provided that subject to the Limited Conditionality Provision (as defined below), documentation substantially similar to the documentation (with adjustments to reflect that the Term Facility is a “term” facility) in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement, with such modifications as are set forth in the Term Facility Term Sheet (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the modifications referred to in Exhibit D solely to the extent such modifications are made to the Existing Credit Agreement (or any amendment, restatement, refinancing or replacement thereof or incorporated into the Revolving Credit Facility)) or are mutually agreed upon, is satisfactory for this purpose and (c) the satisfaction of conditions set forth on Exhibit B (clauses (I)(a) through (c) above, collectively, the “Term Funding Conditions”) and (II) with respect to the Revolving Facility, are subject to satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions precedent: (a) the execution and delivery by the parties thereto of definitive documentation with respect to the Revolving Facility consistent with this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (the “Revolving Credit Documentation”), (b) the receipt of commitments from other Lenders in respect of the Revolving Facility of no less than $650,000,000 (a “Successful Revolving Syndication”) and (c) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Exhibit C (including termination in full of the “Revolving Commitments” under the Existing Credit Agreement and receipt by the Lead Arranger of customary documentary evidence thereof).

For the purposes hereof, “Target Material Adverse Effect” means a “Material Adverse Effect on the Company” (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof).

Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Term Credit Documentation, the Revolving Credit Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (a) the only representations the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date shall be (i) such of the representations made by the Target in the Acquisition Agreement (as hereinafter defined) as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you have (or an affiliate of yours has) the right to terminate your (or your affiliates’) obligations under the Acquisition Agreement as a result of the breach of such representations in the Acquisition Agreement, or the accuracy of such representations in the Acquisition Agreement is a condition to your (or your affiliates’) obligations to consummate the Acquisition pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as hereinafter defined) and (b) the terms of the Term Credit Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the loans under the Term Facility on the Closing Date if the Term Funding Conditions are satisfied. For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties of the Borrower relating to corporate status of the Borrower and the Guarantors, corporate power and authority to enter into the Term Credit Documentation, due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of the Term Credit Documentation, no conflicts with or consents under charter documents of the Borrower and the Guarantors, solvency of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis after giving effect to the Transactions (solvency to be defined in a manner consistent with Annex I to Exhibit B), no conflicts with or consents under the applicable credit agreements and indentures governing indebtedness for borrowed money in a principal or committed amount greater than $100,000,000 (as determined after giving pro forma effect to the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date and without such representation being subject to any material adverse effect or similar qualifications), Federal Reserve margin regulations, the use of the proceeds of the Term Facility not violating laws against sanctioned persons, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or the Patriot Act and compliance with the Investment Company Act. This paragraph, and the provisions herein, shall be referred to as the “Limited Conditionality Provision”.

You agree, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to not assert any claims against any Arranger-Related Person with respect to any of the foregoing.

foregoing, regardless of whether or not in connection with any pending or threatened Proceeding to which any Indemnified Person is a party, in each case as such expenses are incurred or paid; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to any Liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to (I) result from (x) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person in performing its activities or in furnishing its Commitments or services under this Commitment Letter or (y) a material breach by such Indemnified Person of the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or any of the Term Credit Documentation or the Revolving Credit Documentation, or (II) have not resulted from an act or omission by you or any of your affiliates and have been brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person (other than any claims against the Commitment Party in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an arranger or agent or any similar role hereunder) and (B) to reimburse the Commitment Party and its affiliates on demand (upon presentation of a summary statement, in reasonable detail) for all reasonable documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses (including due diligence expenses, syndication expenses, travel expenses, and reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel which shall be limited to the reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and other charges of one counsel to the Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent and, if necessary, of one regulatory counsel and one local counsel to the Lenders retained by the Lead Arranger in each relevant regulatory field and each relevant jurisdiction, respectively (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Commitment Party affected by such conflict notifies you of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for each such affected Commitment Party)) incurred in connection with the Facilities and any related documentation (including this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter, the Term Credit Documentation and the Revolving Credit Documentation) or the administration, amendment, modification or waiver thereof.

 

  (c)

You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding if the amount of such settlement was effected without your prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Liabilities and related expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the terms of clause (b) above. You shall not, without the prior written consent of the Commitment Party and its affiliates (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the Commitment Party unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Commitment Party or any injunctive relief or other non-monetary remedy. You acknowledge that any failure to comply with your obligations under the preceding sentence may cause irreparable harm to the Commitment Party and the other Indemnified Persons.

8. Affiliate Activities, Sharing of Information, Absence of Fiduciary Relationships

The Commitment Party may employ the services of its affiliates in providing certain services hereunder and, in connection with the provision of such services, may exchange with such affiliates information concerning you and the other companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, and, to the extent so employed, such

 

9


affiliates shall be entitled to the benefits, and be subject to the obligations, of the Commitment Party hereunder; provided that with respect to the Commitment, any assignments thereof to an affiliate or branch will not relieve the Commitment Party from any of its obligations hereunder unless and until such affiliate or branch shall have funded the portion of the Commitment so assigned on the Closing Date. The Commitment Party shall be responsible for its affiliates’ failure to comply with such obligations under this Commitment Letter.

You acknowledge that the Commitment Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. The Commitment Party will not use confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter or its other relationships with you in connection with the performance by such Commitment Party of services for other companies, and the Commitment Party will not furnish any such information to other companies. You also acknowledge that the Commitment Party has no obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other companies.

You agree that the Commitment Party will act under this Commitment Letter as an independent contractor and that nothing in this Commitment Letter will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Commitment Party, on the one hand, and you and your respective equity holders or your and their respective affiliates on the other hand. You acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Commitment Party and, if applicable, its affiliates, on the one hand, and you, on the other hand, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction the Commitment Party and, if applicable, each of its affiliates, is acting solely as a principal and has not been, is not and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary of you, your management, equity holders, creditors, affiliates or any other person and (iii) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, the Commitment Party and, if applicable, its affiliates, has not assumed (x) an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of you or your affiliates (irrespective of whether the Commitment Party or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising you or your affiliates on other matters (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes acting as a financial advisor to the Borrower or any of its affiliates in respect of any transaction related hereto)) or (y) any other obligation except the obligations expressly set forth in this Commitment Letter.

Lenders that are (i) approved by you in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (ii) agreed upon in writing by you and us on or prior to the date hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those lenders identified in the “syndication plan” for the Term Facility agreed to by the Lead Arranger and you prior to the date hereof) (such Lenders described in clauses (i) and (ii), each, a “Permitted Assignee”), whereupon JPMorgan shall be released from its Commitment hereunder so assigned to the extent such assignment is evidenced by either an executed credit agreement or a customary joinder agreement (a “Joinder Agreement”) pursuant to which such Permitted Assignee agrees to become party to this Commitment Letter and agrees to extend commitments directly to the Borrower on the terms set forth herein (it being understood that such Joinder Agreement shall not add any conditions to the availability of the Term Facility or change the terms of the Term Facility or change compensation in connection therewith except as set forth in the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to you and us).

Exhibit C-9


    Interpolated Rate” means, at any time, for any interest period, the rate per annum (rounded to the same number of decimal places as the LIBO Screen Rate) determined by the Revolving Administrative Agent (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) to be equal to the rate that results from interpolating on a linear basis between: (a) the LIBO Screen Rate for the longest period (for which the LIBO Screen Rate is available) that is shorter than the Impacted Interest Period; and (b) the LIBO Screen Rate for the shortest period (for which that LIBO Screen Rate is available) that exceeds the Impacted Interest Period, in each case, at such time.
    LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any interest period, the LIBO Screen Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such interest period; provided that if the LIBO Screen Rate shall not be available at such time for such interest period (an “Impacted Interest Period”) then the LIBO Rate shall be the Interpolated Rate.
    LIBO Screen Rate” means, for any day and time, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any interest period, the London interbank offered rate as administered by ICE Benchmark Administration (or any other Person that takes over the administration of such rate for U.S. Dollars) for a period equal in length to such interest period as displayed on pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate (or, in the event such rate does not appear on a Reuters page or screen, on any successor or substitute page on such screen that displays such rate, or on the appropriate page of such other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Revolving Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that if the LIBO Screen Rate as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of calculating such rate.
    NYFRB Rate” means, for any day, the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate in effect on such day; provided that if any of the aforesaid rates shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to zero for the purposes of calculating such rate.
    Overnight Bank Funding Rate” means, for any day, the rate comprised of both overnight federal funds and overnight Eurodollar Borrowings by U.S.-managed banking offices of depository institutions, as such composite rate shall be determined by the NYFRB as set forth on its public website from time to time, and published on the next succeeding Business Day by the NYFRB as an overnight bank funding rate (from and after such date as the NYFRB shall commence to publish such composite rate).
    The Revolving Credit Documentation will contain provisions to be mutually agreed with respect to a replacement of the LIBO Rate.
