The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Borrowers and shall survive any termination of the Letters or the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.

The First Lien Loan Documents will permit the Borrowers, at any time following the Closing Date to refinance loans under either First Lien Term Facility or commitments under the Revolving Facility from time to time, in whole or part, with one or more new term facilities (each, a "First Lien Refinancing Term Facility") or new revolving credit facilities (each, a "Refinancing Revolving Facility"; the First Lien Refinancing Term Facilities and the Refinancing Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to as "First Lien Refinancing Facilities"), respectively, under the First Lien Loan Documents with the consent of the applicable Borrower, the First Lien Administrative Agent and the lenders providing such First Lien Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility or, in the case of debt refinancing of any First Lien Term Facility, with one or more additional series of senior unsecured or senior subordinated notes or loans or senior secured loans or notes that will be secured by the Collateral (as defined below) on a pari passu basis with the First Lien Facilities or junior lien secured notes, in each case, which will be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (any such notes or loans, "Refinancing First Lien Notes" and, together with the First Lien Refinancing Facilities, the "Refinancing First Lien Debt"); provided, that, (i) any First Lien Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing First Lien Notes do not mature prior to the final scheduled maturity date of the applicable First Lien Term Facility or have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of loans under the applicable First Lien Term Facility being refinanced (or, in the case of unsecured, subordinated or junior secured indebtedness, shall mature no earlier than 91 days after the final maturity date of the applicable First Lien Term Facility), (ii) any Refinancing Revolving Facility does not mature prior to the maturity date of the Revolving Facility (or, in the case of unsecured, subordinated or junior secured indebtedness, shall mature no earlier than 91 days after the final maturity date of the applicable First Lien Term Facility), (iii) the other terms and conditions of such First Lien Refinancing Term Facility, Refinancing Revolving Facility or Refinancing First Lien Notes (excluding pricing, interest rate margins, fees, discounts, rate floors and prepayment or redemption terms) are substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) are no more favorable (as reasonably determined by the Borrower Representative) to the lenders providing such First Lien Refinancing Term Facility, Refinancing Revolving Facility or Refinancing Notes, as applicable, than those applicable to the applicable First Lien Term Facility or the Revolving Facility (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest final scheduled maturity date of the applicable First Lien Term Facility and the Revolving Facility at the time of such refinancing) (it being understood that, to the extent any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of such (A) First Lien Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing First Lien Notes, no consent shall be required from the First Lien Administrative Agents or any First Lien Term Lender to the extent that such

    financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of each First Lien Facility remaining outstanding after the incurrence or issuance of such Refinancing First Lien Debt or (B) Refinancing Revolving Facility, no consent shall be required from the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of the Revolving Facility that then benefits from a financial maintenance covenant and is remaining outstanding after the incurrence of such Refinancing Revolving Facility), (iv) any Refinancing First Lien Debt shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, (v) to the extent secured, any such Refinancing First Lien Notes shall not be secured by any lien on any asset that does not also secure the First Lien Facilities, (vi) any Refinancing First Lien Debt may not be guaranteed by any person other than the Borrowers or the Guarantors and (vii) the aggregate principal amount of any First Lien Refinancing Facility or any Refinancing First Lien Notes shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness (except by an amount equal to the unpaid accrued interest and premium thereon and fees and expenses incurred in connection with such First Lien Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Note) and commitments being refinanced or replaced therewith.

Availability:

 

First Lien Term Facilities:    One or more drawings may be made under each of the First Lien Term Facilities on the Closing Date.

Maturities:

 

First Lien Term Facilities:    7 year anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that, the First Lien Loan Documents shall provide the right for individual First Lien Term Lenders to agree to extend the maturity date of their outstanding First Lien Term Loans upon the request of the applicable Borrower and without the consent of any other First Lien Lender (it being understood that each First Lien Term Lender under the tranche that is being extended shall have the opportunity to participate in such extension on the same terms and conditions as each other First Lien Term Lender under such tranche).

Closing Date:

 

The date on which the initial borrowing under the First Lien Term Facilities is made and the Acquisition is consummated (the "Closing Date").

Amortization:

 

The outstanding principal amount of the First Lien Euro Term Facility will be payable in equal quarterly amounts of 1% per annum, with the remaining balance due on the 7-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

 

The outstanding principal amount of the First Lien USD Term Facility will be payable in equal quarterly amounts of 1% per annum, with the remaining balance due on the 7-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

Ancillary Facilities:

 

Consistent with the Documentation Principles, the Revolving Facility will also allow for one or more specified Revolving Lenders (or affiliates of such Revolving Lenders) to make available on a fronted or bilateral basis (in each case at their discretion) all or a part of their participation in the Revolving Facility by way of ancillary facilities (the "Ancillary Facilities") such as overdrafts, letters of credits and foreign exchange facilities, for any purpose agreed with the Revolving Lender providing that Ancillary Facility and subject to a maximum amount for such Ancillary Facilities not exceeding the relevant Revolving Lender's participation in the Revolving Facility. Ancillary Facilities will reduce availability under the Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis and will provide for loss sharing among the Revolving Lenders after

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B-10


    acceleration of the First Lien Facilities. Subject to the terms of the relevant Ancillary Facility, no Revolving Lender (or an affiliate of that Revolving Lender) under the Ancillary Facilities may demand repayment of any amounts unless the Revolving Facility has been cancelled in full or it becomes unlawful for a Revolving Lender to perform its obligations or to fund, issue or maintain its participation.

Interest Rate:

 

All amounts outstanding under First Lien USD Term Facility will bear interest, at the applicable Borrower's option, as follows:

 

 

(i)

 

at the Base Rate plus 2.75% per annum; or

 

 

(ii)

 

at the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 3.75% per annum; and

 

 

As used herein, the terms "Base Rate" and "reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate" will have meanings consistent with the Documentation Principles. The basis for calculating accrued interest and the interest periods for loans bearing interest at the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate will be consistent with the Documentation Principles, subject, in the case of any First Lien Term Facility denominated in US dollars, to a reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate "floor" of 1.00% and, in the case of the Revolving Facility, to a reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate "floor" of 0.00%. In no event shall the Base Rate be less than the sum of (i) the one-month reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate (after giving effect to any reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate "floor") plus (ii) 1.00%.

 

 

The term "Euribor" shall have a definition to be mutually agreed, but shall include a 0.0% Euribor "floor".

 

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of any payment event of default, interest on any overdue amounts will accrue at a rate equal to the rate then applicable thereto, or otherwise at a rate equal to the rate then applicable to loans bearing interest at the rate determined by reference to the Base Rate, in each case plus an additional two percentage points (2.00%) per annum.

Interest Payments:

 

Quarterly for loans bearing interest with reference to the Base Rate; except as set forth below, on the last day of selected interest periods (which will be one, two, three or six months) for loans bearing interest with reference to the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate (and at the end of every three months, in the case of interest periods of longer than three months); and upon prepayment, in each case payable in arrears and computed on the basis of a 360-day year (365/366 day year with respect to loans bearing interest with reference to the "prime rate").

 

 

The basis for calculating accrued interest and the interest periods for loans bearing interest at the Euribor rate will be customary and appropriate for financings of this type.

Voluntary Prepayments:

 

The First Lien Facilities may be prepaid in whole or in part, subject to the "Call Premium" below, without premium or penalty; provided, that, loans bearing interest with reference to the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate will be prepayable only on the last day of the related interest period unless the applicable Borrower pays any related breakage costs. Voluntary prepayments of the First Lien Term Facilities will be applied to scheduled amortization payments as directed by the Borrower Representative.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B-11


Mandatory Prepayments:   The following mandatory prepayments will be required (subject to certain basket amounts and other exceptions set forth in the First Lien Loan Documents consistent with the Documentation Principles):

(b)

 

Insurance Proceeds:    Prepayments in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds of insurance paid on account of any loss of any property or assets of Parent, the Borrowers or their restricted subsidiaries in excess of $15.0 million in any fiscal year, other than net cash proceeds that are reinvested in other long-term assets useful in the business of the Parent and its subsidiaries (or used to repair, restore or replace damaged or destroyed assets) within 365 days of receipt thereof (or an additional 365 days if committed to be invested within 365 days of receipt thereof).

 

 

(c)

 

Incurrence of Indebtedness:    Prepayments in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the incurrence of indebtedness by Parent, the Borrowers or their restricted subsidiaries (other than indebtedness otherwise permitted under the First Lien Loan Documents), payable on the date of incurrence thereof.

 

 

(d)

 

Excess Cash Flow:    Prepayments of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the First Lien Loan Documents consistent with the Documentation Principles) in excess of $10.0 million in any fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, payable within 120 days of fiscal year-end in an amount equal to:

 

 

 

 

(i)

 

50% of Excess Cash Flow if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is greater than 4.50:1.00;

 

 

 

 

(ii)

(iii)

 

0% of Excess Cash Flow if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.50:1.00; and

 

 

(e)

 

Non-Consummation.    To the extent certain target companies identified to the First Lien Euro Arrangers by the Sponsor on or prior to the launch of the general syndication of the First Lien Euro Term Facility are not acquired on or prior to the date that is the earlier of (x) six months following the Closing Date and (y) the abandonment or termination of the applicable acquisition, prepayments in an amount equal to the proposed purchase price of such target companies the acquisition of which fails to consummate, but in no event greater than $34.0 million in the aggregate; provided, that, such amounts shall be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B-12


        limited to the consideration of each such acquisition (and only such acquisition) that fails to consummate; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, such prepayment shall only be due to the First Lien Euro Lenders on a pro rata basis and not any First Lien USD Term Lender;

 

 

provided, that, voluntary prepayments of the First Lien Term Facilities and the Revolving Facility, debt incurred under the Section entitled "Incremental First Lien Facilities" and any Refinancing First Lien Debt the net proceeds of which are used to replace or refinance either the First Lien Term Facility and/or the Revolving Facility (with a corresponding reduction of revolving commitments) made during the fiscal year or after year-end and prior to the time such excess cash flow prepayment (with a corresponding recalculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio to give pro forma effect to such after year end payment) is made (without duplication) will reduce the amount of Excess Cash Flow prepayments required for such fiscal year on a dollar-for-dollar basis (other than to the extent financed with proceeds of long-term indebtedness (other than revolving indebtedness)), including in the case of loan buy-backs pursuant to Dutch auctions permitted under the paragraph below entitled "Assignments and Participations," the actual purchase price paid in cash pursuant to a Dutch auction.

 

 

All mandatory prepayments will be applied without penalty or premium (except for breakage costs, if any) and will be applied,

 

 

first, to each First Lien Term Facility on a pro rata basis and on a pro rata basis to the applicable First Lien Lenders within the outstanding class of First Lien Term Loans (and, with respect to each First Lien Term Facility, applied pro rata to remaining scheduled amortization payments and the payments at final maturity (or as otherwise as directed by the Borrower Representative; provided, that, mandatory prepayments may not be directed to a later maturing class of First Lien Term Loans without at least a pro rata repayment of any related earlier maturing classes, except non-pro rata payments shall be permitted when favoring an earlier maturing class of First Lien Term Loans);

 

 

second, to outstanding loans (without the permanent reduction of commitments) under the Revolving Facility;

 

 

third, to prepay outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit/Bank Guarantees; and

 

 

fourth, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit/Bank Guarantees.

 

 

Mandatory prepayments in clauses (a) and (e) above shall be subject to European style limitations to the extent that the repatriation of cash required to make such prepayment would be prohibited, delayed or restricted by applicable law or would result in material tax leakage or other costs to any Borrower and its subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by the Borrower Representative in good faith).

 

 

Any First Lien Term Lender may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment of the First Lien Term Facilities (each a "First Lien Declining Lender"). Any prepayment amount declined ("First Lien Declined Amounts") by a First Lien Declining Lender shall be used to prepay the Second Lien Facility. Any Declined Amounts by a Second Lien Declining Lender (as defined in Exhibit C) may be retained by the Borrowers (such declined payment, the "First Lien Declined Proceeds").

B-13


Call Premium:   In the event all or any portion of the First Lien Term Facilities is (a) repriced or effectively refinanced through any waiver, consent or amendment the primary purpose of which is directed at, or the result of which would be, the lowering of the effective interest cost or the weighted average yield (assuming a four-year life to maturity for calculation of interest rates for closing fees or original issue discount) of the First Lien Term Loans (including through using the "yank-a-bank" provisions) or (b) repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced through the incurrence of any debt financing the primary purpose of which is to decrease the effective interest cost or weighted average yield (assuming a four-year life to maturity for calculation of interest rates for closing fees or original issue discount) that is less than the effective interest cost or weighted average yield of the First Lien Term Loans (or portion thereof) so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced, in each case of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), other than in connection with a change of control or a Transformative Acquisition (as defined below) on or prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, such repayments or repricings will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount repaid or repriced.

 

 

"Transformative Acquisition" means any acquisition by Parent, the Borrowers or their restricted subsidiaries that (a) is not a Permitted Acquisition (as defined below) immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition or (b) if a Permitted Acquisition immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition, would not provide Parent, the Borrowers or their restricted subsidiaries with adequate flexibility under the First Lien Loan Documents (consistent with Documentation Principles) for the continuation and/or expansion of their combined operations following such consummation, as determined in good faith by the Borrower Representative.

Security:

 

The First Lien Facilities, each Guarantee, any interest rate and/or currency hedging obligations of the Borrowers or any Guarantor owed to the First Lien Administrative Agents, the First Lien Collateral Agents, the First Lien Euro Arrangers, any First Lien Lender or any affiliate of the First Lien Administrative Agents, the First Lien Collateral Agents, the First Lien Euro Arrangers or any First Lien Lender (the "Hedging Obligations") and certain Pari Passu Debt Obligations (to be defined in the First Lien Loan Documents in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles) will be secured on a first-priority basis (subject to agreed security principles set forth in the First Lien Loan Documents) by (in each case subject to the Documentation Principles):

In addition, the First Lien Loan Documents shall provide that the First Lien Term Loans may be purchased by and assigned to any Debt Fund Affiliate (as defined below) on a non-pro rata basis through (a) open market purchases and/or (b) Dutch auctions open to all First Lien Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures; provided, that, for any Requisite Lender vote, Debt Fund Affiliates may not, in the aggregate, account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Requisite Lenders have consented to any amendment or waiver.

 

 

As used herein:

 

 

"Non-Debt Fund Affiliate" means any affiliate of Parent other than (i) the Acquired Business, any of its subsidiaries or the Borrowers, (ii) any Debt Fund Affiliates and (iii) any natural person.

 

 

"Debt Fund Affiliates" means any affiliate of Parent or the Sponsor that is a bona fide debt fund or an investment vehicle that is engaged in the making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, bonds and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and with respect to which the Sponsor and investment vehicles managed or advised by the Sponsor that are not engaged primarily in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, bonds and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course do not make investment decisions for such entity.

 

 

In addition, the First Lien Loan Documents shall provide that First Lien Term Loans may be purchased by and assigned to any Borrower or any of their

 

 

 

 

 

B-25


    subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis through (a) open market purchases and/or (b) Dutch auctions open to all First Lien Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed; provided, that, any such First Lien Term Loans shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition thereof by any Borrower or any of their subsidiaries and the Borrowers may not use proceeds of the Revolving Facility to purchase First Lien Term Loans to the extent such First Lien Term Loans are purchased at a discount. There shall be no minimum liquidity requirement for such purchases or assignments to the Borrowers.

 

 

The First Lien Loan Documents will contain customary provisions allowing Parent to replace a First Lien Lender or terminate the commitment of a First Lien Lender and prepay that First Lien Lender's outstanding First Lien Term Loans (and all accrued interest and other amounts owing to that First Lien Lender thereunder (including any prepayment premium, if applicable)) in full in connection with amendments and waivers requiring the consent of all First Lien Lenders or of all First Lien Lenders directly adversely affected thereby (so long as the Requisite Lenders have approved the amendment or waiver), increased costs, taxes, etc. and Defaulting Lenders.

Requisite Lenders:

 

Amendments and waivers will require the approval of First Lien Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) holding more than 50% of total commitments or exposure under the First Lien Facilities ("Requisite Lenders"), provided, that, in addition to the approval of Requisite Lenders, (i) any amendment that would disproportionately affect the obligation of the Borrowers to make payment of the loans under the Revolving Facility or the First Lien Term Facility will not be effective without the approval of holders of more than 50% of such class of loans and (ii) the consent of each First Lien Lender directly and adversely affected thereby will be required with respect to matters relating to (a) reductions of principal, interest, fees or premium, (b) extensions of final maturity, payment of interest, fees or premiums, (c) waivers, reduction or postponement of the due date of any amortization payment, (d) amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision that expressly provides that the consent of all First Lien Lenders is required, (e) certain collateral issues, (f) the definition of Requisite Lenders and related provisions, (g) extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit/Bank Guarantee beyond the Revolving Facility maturity date, (h) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrowers or any Guarantor of its obligations under the First Lien Loan Documents (except as expressly permitted under the First Lien Loan Documents), (i) any modification to the pro rata sharing or payment provisions and the post-enforcement application of proceeds and (j) add additional limitations or restrictions on assigning or participating First Lien Loans.

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments and waivers of the financial covenant and the Revolving Facility notional 'clean-down' shall only require the approval of Revolving Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the commitments under the Revolving Facility (other than any Defaulting Lender).

 

 

On or before the final maturity date of each of the First Lien Facilities, the Borrowers shall have the right to extend the maturity date of all or a portion of the First Lien Facilities with only the consent of the First Lien Lenders whose

 

 

 

 

 

B-26


    loans or commitments are being extended, and otherwise on terms and conditions to be mutually agreed by the First Lien Euro Arrangers, the First Lien USD Term Loan Lender and the Borrower Representative; it being understood that each First Lien Lender under the tranche the maturity date of which is being extended shall have the opportunity to participate in such extension on the same terms and conditions as each other First Lien Lender under such tranche.

Yield Protection:

 

The yield protection will include, without limitation, customary provisions protecting the First Lien Lenders against increased costs or loss of yield resulting from changes in reserve, capital adequacy and other requirements of law and from the imposition of or changes in certain withholding or other taxes, subject to customary exceptions (it being understood that the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III and all regulations, interpretations and directives thereunder shall be deemed to be a change in law), subject in all cases to the Documentation Principles.

Indemnity:

 

The indemnity and related matters will be consistent with the Documentation Principles.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction:

 

The First Lien Facilities will provide that the Borrowers will submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts of the State of New York (except to the extent the First Lien Administrative Agents, the First Lien Collateral Agents or any First Lien Lender requires submission to any other jurisdiction in connection with the exercise of any rights under any security document or the enforcement of any judgment) and will waive any right to trial by jury. New York law will govern the First Lien Loan Documents, except with respect to certain security documents where applicable local law is necessary for enforceability or perfection.

The Second Lien Loan Documents (as defined below) will permit the Borrowers, at any time on or before the final maturity date of the Second Lien Facility to add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Second Lien Facilities (each, a "Incremental Second Lien Facilities") on substantially similar terms and limitations as (and, in any event, no less favorable to the Borrowers and Guarantors than) those governing the incurrence of Incremental First Lien Term Facilities in the section entitled "Incremental First Lien Facilities" in Exhibit B; provided that (i) the parenthetical before the definition of Cash Capped Incremental Facilities shall state "(less amounts of the Cash Capped Incremental Facilities used for the Incremental First Lien Facilities)" in lieu of "(less amounts of the Cash Capped Incremental Facilities used for the Second Lien Incremental Facilities)", (ii) the MFN Provision for the Second Lien shall be as defined below and (iii) such other terms as are necessary to reflect the second lien status of the Incremental Second Lien Facility shall be included.

 

 

The "MFN Provision" for the Second Lien Facility shall require that the All-In Yield (as defined below) applicable to any Incremental Second Lien Facility will be determined by the Borrower Representative and the lenders providing such Incremental First Lien Facility; provided, that, (A) with respect to any Incremental Second Lien Facility denominated in U.S. dollars secured on a pari passu basis with the liens securing the Second Lien Facilities made on or prior to the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date, the All-In Yield of any such Incremental Second Lien Facility (of the same currency) will not be more than 0.50% higher than the corresponding All-In Yield for any then-existing Second Lien Facility unless the interest rate margins with respect to such Second Lien Facility (of the same currency) are increased by an amount equal to the difference between the All-In Yield with respect to the Incremental Second Lien Facility and the corresponding All-In Yield on the existing applicable Second Lien Facility minus 0.50% and (B) with respect to any Incremental Second Lien Facility denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars is secured on a pari passu basis with the liens securing the Second Lien Facility made on or prior to the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date, the All-In Yield of any such Incremental Second Lien Facility will not be more than 1.00% higher than the corresponding All-In Yield for any then-existing Second Lien Facility, unless the interest rate margins with respect to such Second Lien Term Facility (regardless of currency), are increased by an amount equal to the difference between the All-In Yield with respect to the Incremental Second Lien Facility, and the corresponding All-In Yield on the existing applicable First Lien Term Facilities, minus 1.00%.

C-2


    The Second Lien Loan Documents will permit the Borrowers to utilize availability under the Incremental Second Lien Facilities ("Second Lien Incremental Equivalent Debt") to:

 

 

 

 

(a) (i) issue notes that may rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and security with the Second Lien Facility, and (ii) incur loans that may rank pari passu or junior in right of payment with the Second Lien Facility and junior in right of security with the Second Lien Facility (or be unsecured), subject to (x) intercreditor arrangements, and (y) in the case of pari passu loans or notes (other than (A) a public registered offering or (B) a private placement to institutional investors that is underwritten for resale in accordance with Rule 144A or Regulation S of the Securities Act (excluding a direct private placement that is not underwritten or where the debt securities are distributed to fewer than ten Persons (providing that multiple managed accounts and affiliates of any such Person shall be treated as one Person)), the MFN Provision; and

 

 

 

 

(b) incur loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $30.0 million that (i) are not widely syndicated in the United States and (ii) rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Second Lien Facility, subject to (x) intercreditor arrangements, and (y) other limitations to be set forth in the Second Lien Loan Documents (such loans, "Second Lien Non-U.S. Incremental Equivalent Debt").

Second Lien Refinancing Facilities:

 

The Second Lien Loan Documents will contain provisions for refinancing facilities substantially similar to (and, in any event, no less favorable to the Borrowers than) those provisions for refinancing facilities contained in the First Lien Facilities Documentation (such refinancing facilities, the "Second Lien Refinancing Facilities"); provided, such other terms as are necessary to reflect the second lien status of the Second Lien Refinancing Facilities shall be included.

Availability:

 

One drawing may be made under each of the Second Lien Facility on the Closing Date.

Maturity:

 

Second Lien Facility: 8th year anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that, the Second Lien Loan Documents shall provide the right for individual Second Lien Lenders to agree to extend the maturity date of their outstanding Second Lien Loans upon the request of the applicable Borrower and without the consent of any other Second Lien Lender (it being understood that each Second Lien Lender under the tranche that is being extended shall have the opportunity to participate in such extension on the same terms and conditions as each other Second Lien Lender under such tranche).

Closing Date:

 

Same as the First Lien Facilities.

Amortization:

 

None.

Interest Rate:

 

All amounts outstanding under Second Lien Facility will bear interest, at the applicable Borrower's option, as follows:

 

 

 

 

(i)

 

at the Base Rate plus 6.25% per annum; or

 

 

 

 

(ii)

 

at the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 7.25% per annum.

C-3


    As used herein, the terms "Base Rate" and "reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate" will have meanings consistent with the Documentation Principles. The basis for calculating accrued interest and the interest periods for loans bearing interest at the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate will be consistent with the Documentation Principles, subject to a reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate "floor" of 1.00%. In no event shall the Base Rate be less than the sum of (i) the one-month reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate (after giving effect to any reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate "floor") plus (ii) 1.00%.

 

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of any payment event of default, interest on any overdue amounts will accrue at a rate equal to the rate then applicable thereto, or otherwise at a rate equal to the rate then applicable to loans bearing interest at the rate determined by reference to the Base Rate, in each case plus an additional two percentage points (2.00%) per annum.

Interest Payments:

 

Quarterly for loans bearing interest with reference to the Base Rate; except as set forth below, on the last day of selected interest periods (which will be one, two, three or six months) for loans bearing interest with reference to the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate (and at the end of every three months, in the case of interest periods of longer than three months); and upon prepayment, in each case payable in arrears and computed on the basis of a 360-day year (365/366 day year with respect to loans bearing interest with reference to the "prime rate").

Voluntary Prepayments:

 

To the extent permitted by the First Lien Loan Documents, the Second Lien Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part, subject to the "Call Premium" below, without premium or penalty; provided, that, loans bearing interest with reference to the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate will be prepayable only on the last day of the related interest period unless the applicable Borrower pays any related breakage costs. Voluntary prepayments of the Second Lien Facility will be applied to scheduled amortization payments as directed by the Borrower Representative.

Mandatory Prepayments:

 

Following repayments in full of all loans and obligations (in each case, other than contingent indemnity obligations not yet accrued and payable as to which no claim has been made) and termination of all commitments under the First Lien Facilities (or, solely with respect to clause (d) below to the extent paid with First Lien Declined Proceeds (as defined in Exhibit B), at all times to the extent permitted by the First Lien Loan Documents), the following mandatory prepayments will be required (subject to certain basket amounts and other exceptions set forth in the Second Lien Loan Documents consistent with the Documentation Principles):

C-4


    (a)   Asset Sales: Prepayments in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any property or assets of Parent, the Borrowers or their restricted subsidiaries in excess of $25.0 million per fiscal year (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Second Lien Loan Documents consistent with the Documentation Principles), other than net cash proceeds of sales or other dispositions of inventory in the ordinary course of business and net cash proceeds that are reinvested in other assets useful in the business of the Parent and its subsidiaries within 365 days of receipt thereof (or an additional 365 days if committed to be invested within 365 days of receipt thereof).

 

 

(b)

 

Insurance Proceeds: Prepayments in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds of insurance paid on account of any loss of any property or assets of Parent, the Borrowers or their restricted subsidiaries in excess of $25.0 million in any fiscal year, other than net cash proceeds that are reinvested in other long-term assets useful in the business of the Parent and its subsidiaries (or used to repair, restore or replace damaged or destroyed assets) within 365 days of receipt thereof (or an additional 365 days if committed to be invested within 365 days of receipt thereof).

 

 

(c)

 

Incurrence of Indebtedness: Prepayments in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the incurrence of indebtedness by Parent, the Borrowers or their restricted subsidiaries (other than indebtedness otherwise permitted under the Second Lien Loan Documents), payable on the date of incurrence thereof.

 

 

(d)

 

Excess Cash Flow: Prepayments of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Second Lien Loan Documents consistent with the Documentation Principles) in excess of $10.0 million in any fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, payable within 120 days of fiscal year-end in an amount equal to:

 

 

 

 

(i)

 

50% of Excess Cash Flow if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is greater than 4.50:1.00;

To the extent certain target companies identified to the First Lien Euro Arrangers by the Sponsor on or prior to the launch of the general syndication of the First Lien Euro Term Facility are not acquired on or prior to the date that is the earlier of (x) six months following the Closing Date and (y) the abandonment or termination of the applicable acquisition, prepayments in an amount equal to the proposed purchase price of such target companies the acquisition of which fails to consummate, but in no event greater than $34.0 million in the aggregate; provided, that, such amounts shall be limited to the consideration of each such acquisition (and only such acquisition) that fails to consummate;

C-5


    provided, that, voluntary prepayments of the Second Lien Facility, debt incurred under the Sections entitled "Incremental Second Lien Facilities" and any "Second Lien Refinancing Facilities" the net proceeds of which are used to replace or refinance the Second Lien Facility made during the fiscal year or after year-end and prior to the time such excess cash flow prepayment (with a corresponding recalculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio to give pro forma effect to such after year end payment) is made (without duplication) will reduce the amount of Excess Cash Flow prepayments required for such fiscal year on a dollar-for-dollar basis (other than to the extent financed with proceeds of long-term indebtedness (other than revolving indebtedness)), including in the case of loan buy-backs pursuant to Dutch auctions permitted under the paragraph below entitled "Assignments and Participations," the actual purchase price paid in cash pursuant to a Dutch auction.

 

 

Mandatory prepayments may not be directed to a later maturing class of Second Lien Loans without at least a pro rata repayment of any related earlier maturing classes, except non-pro rata payments shall be permitted when favoring an earlier maturing class of Second Lien Loans. Mandatory prepayments in clauses (a) and (e) above shall be subject to European style limitations to the extent that the repatriation of cash required to make such prepayment would be prohibited, delayed or restricted by applicable law or would result in material tax leakage or other costs to any Borrower and its subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by the Borrower Representative in good faith).

 

 

Any Second Lien Lender may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Second Lien Facility (each a "Second Lien Declining Lender"). Any prepayment amount declined by a Second Lien Declining Lender ("Second Lien Declined Amounts") may be retained by the Borrowers (such declined payment, the "Second Lien Declined Proceeds") and the Second Lien Lenders shall have the ability to receive any mandatory prepayments above that are waived or declined by the First Lien Lenders (and such payments shall be offered to the Second Lien Lenders prior to being retained by the Borrowers); provided, that mandatory prepayments under clauses (b), (d) and (e) above shall not be subject to the "Call Premium" below.

C-6


Call Premium:   In the event all or any portion of the loans under the Second Lien Facility (the "Second Lien Loans") is prepaid as a result of (i) a voluntary prepayment, (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Second Lien Facility (other than mandatory prepayments (x) from the proceeds of Excess Cash Flow under clause (d) of "Mandatory Prepayments" above, (y) from insurance proceeds under clause (b) of "Mandatory Prepayments" above or (z) from non-consummation of certain identified acquisitions under clause (e) of "Mandatory Prepayments" above) and (iii) "yank-a-bank" assignment made in connection with an amendment (and whether before or after an event of default, acceleration of the obligations or the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding), that occur prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, such repayments or repricings will be made at (i) a customary make-whole amount for the principal amount repaid or repriced if such repayment or repricing occurs on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 102.0% of the principal amount repaid or repriced if such repayment or repricing occurs after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) 101.0% of the principal amount repaid or repriced if such repayment or repricing occurs after the third anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.

Security:

 

The obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors in respect of the Second Lien Facility shall be secured on second priority basis (subject to permitted liens to be agreed) by the same Collateral that secures the First Lien Facilities; provided, that to the extent applicable laws of any relevant jurisdiction do not permit security interests to be granted on a second priority basis, the obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors under the Second Lien Facility shall be secured in any such jurisdiction pursuant to intercreditor arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the First Lien Euro Arrangers and the Kendril Commitment Parties including, without limitation, by way of a security interest in favor of a common collateral agent or trustee and/or collateral proceeds sharing arrangements.

C-11


    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Affiliate Lenders shall not exceed in number (treating all Affiliate Lenders and their affiliates and approved funds as individual Second Lien Lenders for purposes hereof) more than 49.9% of the aggregate number of Second Lien Lenders at any time (treating a Second Lien Lender and its affiliates and approved funds as a single Second Lien Lender when determining the aggregate number of Second Lien Lenders at any time) (it being agreed to and understood that if the foregoing would not be satisfied at any time, Affiliate Lenders shall be required to assign Second Lien Loans amongst themselves in order to satisfy the foregoing condition until only one Affiliate Lender remains).

Yield Protection:

 

The yield protection will be the same as those set forth in the First Lien Loan Documents.

Indemnity/Expense Reimbursement:

ANNEX I TO EXHIBIT D

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

        [Reference is made to [(a)] the Credit Agreement, dated as of [·] (the "Credit Agreement"; unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement), among [·].

        The undersigned hereby certifies as follows:

                1.     I am the [senior financial officer] of Parent.

                2.     I have reviewed the terms of the Credit Agreement and the definitions and provisions contained in the Credit Agreement relating thereto and, in my opinion, have made, or have caused to be made under my supervision, such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable me to express an informed opinion as to the matters referred to herein.

                3.     Based upon my review and examination described in paragraph 2 above, I certify on behalf of Parent and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, that, as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement:

        (i)
        The sum of the "fair value" of the assets of Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, exceeds the sum of all debts of Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as such quoted terms are determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors;

        (ii)
        The "present fair saleable value" of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on existing debts of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as such debts become absolute and matured, as such quoted term is determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors;

        (iii)
        The capital of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not unreasonably small in relation to the business in which they are or are about to become engaged; and

        (iv)
        Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts beyond their ability to pay as they mature.

        For purposes of clauses (i) through (iv) above, (a) (i) "debt" means liability on a "claim" and (ii) "claim" means any (x) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, subordinated, secured or unsecured or (y) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured or unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured and (b) the amount of any contingent, unliquidated and disputed claim and any claim that has not been reduced to judgment at any time has been computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5).

        The foregoing certifications are made and delivered as of [·].

        This certificate is being signed by the undersigned in his capacity as [·] of Parent and not in his individual capacity.
