You have further advised us that, in connection with the foregoing, you and the Company intend to consummate the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transaction Description”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Description, the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Term Sheet”) or the Summary of Additional Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit C; this commitment letter, the Transaction Description, the Term Sheet and the Summary of Additional Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit C, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”.

 


1. Commitments.

In connection with the Transactions, each of Owl Rock, Monroe, Fortress, Blackstone, HPS, Oaktree, VCP, Carlyle and New Mountain (each, an “Initial Lender” and, collectively, the “Initial Lenders”) is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide, severally and not jointly, (i) a portion of the Term Facility (as defined on Exhibit A hereto) set forth opposite such Initial Lender’s name on Schedule I attached hereto and (ii) a portion of the Revolving Facility (as defined on Exhibit A hereto) set forth opposite such Initial Lender’s name on Schedule I attached hereto, subject only to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Commitment Parties) of the conditions explicitly set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto.

2. Titles and Roles.

It is agreed that (i) each of ORCA, Monroe, Fortress, Blackstone, HPS, Oaktree, VCP and Carlyle will act as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for the Credit Facilities (together with their designated affiliates, collectively, the “Lead Arrangers”), and (ii) ORCC will act as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Credit Facilities. It is further agreed that in respect of the Credit Facilities, ORCA shall have “left side” designation and shall appear on the top left and shall hold the leading role and responsibility customarily associated with such “top left” placement.

4. Information.

You hereby represent and warrant that (with respect to Information and projections relating to the Company, its subsidiaries and its and their respective businesses, to your knowledge) (a) all written information and written data, other than projections and other than information of a general economic or industry specific nature (the “Information”), that has been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by you or, at your direction, by any of your representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, does not or will not, when furnished and when taken as a whole, 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 (giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto) and (b) the projections that have been or will be made available to us by you or, at your direction, by any of your representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will be, when furnished, taken as a whole, prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by you to be reasonable at the time such projections are so furnished; it being understood that such projections are predictions as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts or as a guarantee of performance, that such 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. You agree that if, at any time prior to the Closing Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and the projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will (or, prior to the Closing Date, with respect to the Information and such projections relating to the Company, its subsidiaries or their respective operations or assets, will, in all instances to the extent not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to) promptly supplement the Information and such projections such that (prior to the Closing Date, with respect to Information and projections relating to the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses, to your knowledge) such representations and warranties are correct in all material respects under those circumstances, it being understood in each case that such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representations and warranties. The accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties, whether or not cured, shall not be a condition to the commitments and obligations of the Commitment Parties hereunder or the funding of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date. In providing their commitment hereunder, the Commitment Parties will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof. The Commitment Parties do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or projections.

6. Conditions.

The commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder to fund the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date and the agreements of the Commitment Parties to perform their obligations described herein are subject solely to the conditions explicitly set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto, and upon satisfaction (or waiver by all Commitment Parties in writing) of such conditions, the initial funding of the Credit Facilities shall occur; it being understood and agreed that there are no other conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder, including compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters or the Credit Facilities Documentation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Commitment Letter (including each of the exhibits attached hereto), the Fee Letters, the Credit Facilities Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (i) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability and funding of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (A) such of the representations and warranties made by the Company in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders (in their capacities as such), but only to the extent that Borrower has or its affiliates have the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate its or its affiliates’ obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or to decline to consummate the Acquisition (in each case, in accordance with the terms the Acquisition Agreement) as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement (to such extent, the “Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations”), and (B) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (ii) the terms of the Credit Facilities Documentation and the Closing Deliverables (as defined in Exhibit C) shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability or funding of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B are satisfied (or waived by all Commitment Parties in writing) (provided that to the extent any security interest in any Collateral (as defined in the Term Sheet) is not or cannot be provided and/or perfected on the Closing Date (other than the pledge and perfection of the security interest in the equity interests of the Borrower and each domestic Guarantor (other than Holdings) (provided that such certificates, other than certificated equity securities of the Company, will be required to be delivered on the Closing Date only to the extent actually received from the Company after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such certificates); provided further that any such stock certificates not delivered on the Closing Date shall be required to be delivered on or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (or such later date after the Closing Date as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole, reasonable discretion) and other assets pursuant to which a lien may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code) after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so or without undue burden or expense, then the provision and/or perfection of a security interest in such Collateral shall not constitute a condition to the availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date, but instead shall be required to be provided and/or perfected within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (or such later date after the Closing Date as the Administrative Agent shall agree) pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting reasonably). For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors set forth in the Credit Facilities Documentation relating to organizational existence of the Borrower and the Guarantors; power and authority, due authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability, in each case with respect solely to the Credit Facilities Documentation, no conflicts with or consents under charter documents, in each case, related to the entering into and the performance of the Credit Facilities Documentation and the incurrence of the extensions of credit thereunder; solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions and with solvency being determined in a manner consistent with Annex I to Exhibit C hereto) of Holdings and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; Federal Reserve margin regulations; the use of loan proceeds not violating OFAC, FCPA or the PATRIOT Act; the Investment Company Act, and, subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, creation, validity and perfection of security interests in the Collateral (as defined in Exhibit B).

For the avoidance of doubt, compliance by you and/or your affiliates with the terms and conditions of this Commitment Letter (other than the conditions expressly set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto) is not a condition to the commitments of the Initial Lenders to fund the Credit Facilities hereunder on the terms set forth herein.

You acknowledge that we may receive a benefit, including, without limitation, a discount, credit or other accommodation, from any such counsel based on the fees such counsel may receive on account of their relationship with us including, without limitation, fees paid pursuant hereto. The foregoing provisions in this paragraph shall be superseded in each case, to the extent covered thereby, by the applicable provisions contained in the Credit Facilities Documentation upon execution thereof and thereafter shall have no further force and effect.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, (i) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from (x) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s controlling persons, controlled affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, partners or successors, in each case, who are involved in or aware of the Transactions or (y) any material breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates under this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet or the Fee Letters, in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, and (ii) none of us, you (or your affiliates), the Sponsor (or its affiliates), the Company (or its subsidiaries), the Investors (or their affiliates) or any Indemnified Person shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Transactions (including the Credit Facilities and the use of proceeds thereunder), or with respect to any activities related to the Credit Facilities, including the preparation of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters and the Credit Facilities Documentation; provided that nothing in this clause (ii) shall limit your indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent that such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in any claim by a third party unaffiliated with the applicable Indemnified Person with respect to which the applicable Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (as qualified by clause (i) immediately above).

In case any Proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnified Person for which indemnification is to be sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, then such Indemnified Person will promptly notify you of the commencement of such Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify you will not relieve you of any liability that you may have to such Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 7, except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by such failure. You shall not, without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (it being understood that withholding consent due to non-satisfaction of any of the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence shall be deemed reasonable), effect any settlement of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to or admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. In connection with any one Proceeding, you will not be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm for all Indemnified Persons plus additional local counsel and conflicts counsel to the extent provided herein.

 

6


You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without your written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented legal or other out-of-pocket expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with and to the extent provided in the other provisions of this Section 7. Each Indemnified Person (by accepting the benefits hereof) agrees to, and shall, refund and return any and all amounts paid by you to such Indemnified Person if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable determination that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 7.

Each Indemnified Person shall give (subject to confidentiality or legal restrictions) such information and assistance to you as you may reasonably request in connection with any Proceeding.

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

You acknowledge that the Commitment Parties and their affiliates or managed funds may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including, without limitation, financial advisory services) to other persons in respect of which you, the Company and your and its respective affiliates may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. None of the Commitment Parties and their affiliates or managed funds will use confidential information obtained from you, the Company, the Investors or any of your or their respective affiliates by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter or their other relationships with you, the Company, the Investors or your or their respective affiliates in connection with the performance by them or their affiliates of services for other persons, and none of the Commitment Parties and their affiliates will furnish any such information to other persons, except to the extent permitted below. You also acknowledge that none of the Commitment Parties and their affiliates has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained by them from other persons. In addition, please note that one or more Commitment Parties and/or their respective affiliates may be working with competing bidders for the Company in connection with providing or arranging debt or equity financing for the acquisition of the Company. You agree to such activities and arrangements, and further agree not to assert any claim you might allege based on any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might be asserted to arise or result from, on the one hand, such Commitment Party and/or its affiliates’ arranging or providing or contemplating arranging or providing financing for a competing bidder and, on the other hand, our and our affiliates’ relationships with you as described and referred to herein.

As you know, certain of the Commitment Parties may be full-service securities firms engaged, either directly or through their affiliates, in various activities, including securities trading, commodities trading, investment management, financing and brokerage activities and financial planning and benefits counseling for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, certain of the Commitment Parties and their respective affiliates may actively engage in commodities trading or trade the debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of you, the Company and other companies that may be the subject of the arrangements contemplated by this Commitment Letter for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities. Certain of the Commitment Parties or their affiliates may also co-invest with, make direct investments in, and invest or co-invest client monies in or with funds or other investment vehicles managed by other parties, and such funds or other investment vehicles may trade or make investments in securities of you, the Company or other companies that may be the subject of the arrangements contemplated by this Commitment Letter or engage in commodities trading with any thereof.

 

7


The Commitment Parties and their respective affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of you or the Company and may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from yours and those of your affiliates and the Commitment Parties have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to you or your affiliates. You agree that the Commitment Parties will act under this Commitment Letter as independent contractors and that nothing in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Commitment Parties, on the one hand, and you, the Company, your and its respective equity holders or your or their respective affiliates, on the other hand. You acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Commitment Parties and, if applicable, their affiliates, on the one hand, and you, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Commitment Party and each of its applicable affiliates (as the case may be) is acting solely as a principal and has not been, is not and will not be acting as an advisor, an agent or a fiduciary of you, the Company, your and its management, equity holders, creditors, affiliates or any other person and (iii) the Commitment Parties and their applicable affiliates (as the case may be) have not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility or any other obligation in favor of you or your affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Commitment Parties or any of their respective affiliates have advised or are currently advising you or the Company on other matters) except the obligations expressly set forth in this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters. You further acknowledge and agree that (a) you are responsible for making your own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto, (b) you are capable of evaluating and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (c) we have provided no legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice and you contacted your own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent you have deemed appropriate. You agree that you will not claim that the Commitment Parties or their applicable affiliates, as the case may be, have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to you or your affiliates, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Borrower’s sole and absolute discretion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Commitment Party, any Lender or its respective affiliates or managed funds, in each case, that is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, such person may identify the Borrower, the value (and valuation methodology) of such person’s holdings in the Borrower and other required information in accordance with its Investment Company Act of 1940 reporting practices, in each case without notice to you or any other person.

10. Miscellaneous.

This Commitment Letter and the commitments hereunder shall not be assignable by any party hereto (other than (x) by you, on or after the Closing Date, to Holdings or another entity, so long as such entity is newly formed under the laws of any jurisdiction within the United States of America and is, or will be, controlled by Sponsor after giving effect to the Transactions and shall (directly or indirectly through a wholly-owned subsidiary and (y) by any Commitment Party to its affiliated and/or managed or advised funds and accounts; provided that (a) no Commitment Party shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder, including in the event that any affiliated and/or managed or advised funds and accounts through which it performs its obligations fails to perform the same in accordance with the terms hereof, and (b) the applicable Commitment Party shall be responsible for any breach by any such affiliated and/or managed or advised funds and accounts referred to in the foregoing clause (a) of the obligations hereunder) own the Company or be the successor to the Company) without the prior written consent of each other party hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void).

12


sentence shall not override any jurisdiction provision set forth in the Acquisition Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to you or us at the addresses set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.

We hereby notify you that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.

This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the PATRIOT Act or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and is effective for each of us and the Lenders (as defined in the Term Sheet).

You may terminate this Commitment Letter and/or the commitments of the Initial Lenders with respect to the Credit Facilities (or portion thereof) hereunder at any time subject to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence and the following sentence. In addition, in the event that a lesser amount of indebtedness is required to fund the Transactions for any reason, you may reduce the commitments of the Initial Lenders with respect to the Credit Facilities on a pro rata basis among the Initial Lenders, provided that such reduction shall be effected ratably between the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility among the Initial Lenders.

The Initial Lenders’ respective commitments and the obligations of the Commitment Parties hereunder will automatically expire at such time in the event that the Commitment Parties (or their legal counsel) have not received such executed counterparts in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

Transaction Description

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings set forth in the other Exhibits to the Commitment Letter to which this Exhibit A is attached or in the Commitment Letter. In the case of any such capitalized term that is subject to multiple and differing definitions, the appropriate meaning thereof in this Exhibit A shall be determined by reference to the context in which it is used.

Sponsor, together with certain other investors arranged by and/or designated by the Sponsor (if applicable) (including members of the Company’s management and/or the Company’s founders and/or existing equityholders) (collectively with the Sponsor, the “Investors”) intend to acquire or recapitalize its ownership of (the “Acquisition”), directly or indirectly, the Company.

In connection with the foregoing, it is intended that:

 

a)

The Investors will, directly or indirectly, make cash contributions to Holdings in exchange for equity of Holdings (the “Equity Contribution”), with all contributions to Holdings to be in the form of common and/or preferred equity (including any PIK preferred stock investment made by the Investors in Holdings); provided that any such contributions in a form other than common equity shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Parties, in an aggregate amount equal to, when combined with the fair market value of all capital contributions and investments by management and existing equity holders of the Company rolled over or invested, directly or indirectly, in Holdings in connection with the Transactions (as defined below) (the “Other Equity”), and subject to amounts withheld at closing for potential future settlement or resolution of shareholder appraisal claims in an amount not to exceed the Per Share Price (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) per each Dissenting Company Share (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), no less than: 70% of the sum of (1) the aggregate amount of the Credit Facilities outstanding on the Closing Date (but excluding (i) an aggregate amount not to exceed $10 million of gross proceeds of any revolving loans borrowed on the Closing Date to fund working capital needs (including any working capital payments or adjustments under the Acquisition Agreement), (ii) revolving loans drawn on the Closing Date to cash collateralize existing letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date and/or (iii) letters of credit issued on the Closing Date to backstop or replace existing letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date) plus (2) the equity capitalization of Holdings and its subsidiaries on the Closing Date after giving effect to the Transactions; provided that, on the Closing Date, Sponsor shall own, directly or indirectly (including through one or more LP co-invest vehicles managed by Sponsor), more than 50% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of Holdings.

 

b)

Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the Signing Date, by and among Oranje Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Borrower, the Company and certain other parties thereto (together with all exhibits, schedules and disclosure letters thereto, collectively, as amended, restated, modified, supplemented, consented to or waived in accordance with paragraph 1 of Exhibit C, the “Acquisition Agreement”), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, Borrower shall be the direct parent of the Company and Holdings shall be the direct parent of the Borrower.

 

c)

Borrower will obtain the Credit Facilities described in Exhibit B to the Commitment Letter, which will include (i) a senior secured term loan facility denominated in dollars in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000.0 million (the “Term Facility”), and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $125.0 million (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The date on which the Term Facility is initially funded and the Revolving Facility is made available is herein referred to as the “Closing Date”.

 

Exhibit A-1


d)

The Company will repay in full (directly or indirectly) any outstanding loans under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2021, among, inter alia, the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), and all commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be terminated and any security interests and guarantees in connection therewith shall be terminated and/or released (the “Refinancing”).

 

e)

The proceeds of the Equity Contribution and the Credit Facilities borrowed on the Closing Date will be applied (i) to pay the consideration in connection with the Acquisition and any other payments contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, (ii) to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions, (iii) to pay for the Refinancing (the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, collectively, the “Acquisition Costs”) and (iv) for working capital and general corporate purposes (including for the avoidance of doubt payments in respect of RSUs, PSUs and options).

The transactions described above (including the payment of the Acquisition Costs) are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions”.

Exhibit B-2


  

or replace letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date under facilities no longer available to the Company or its subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, and letters of credit issued under such facilities that are no longer available may be “rolled over” into the Revolving Facility on the Closing Date. Otherwise, letters of credit and Revolving Loans will be available at any time prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility, in minimum face amounts to be agreed upon; provided that the Revolving Facility will be subject to notice provisions consistent with the Documentation Principles. Amounts repaid under the Revolving Facility may be reborrowed.

(iv) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Increase, the maturity date of such Incremental Revolving Increase shall be the same as the maturity date of the Revolving Facility, such Incremental Revolving Increase shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility, and such Incremental Revolving Increase shall be on the exact same terms and pursuant to the exact same documentation applicable to the Revolving Facility being increased (it being understood that, if required to consummate an Incremental Revolving Increase, the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors and undrawn fees on the Revolving Facility being increased may be increased for all Revolving Lenders under the Revolving

Facility being increased, and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the Lenders participating in the Incremental Revolving Increase without any requirement to pay such amounts to any Revolving Lenders that do not participate in such increase),

 

(v) the pricing, interest rate margins, discounts, premiums, rate floors, fees and (subject to clauses (iii) and (iv) above) maturity and amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder; provided that, unless waived by the Required Lenders, in the event that the effective yield on any such Incremental Term Facility secured on a pari passu basis (in security and right of payment) with the Secured Obligations is higher than the effective yield on the Term Facility by more than 50 basis points, then, solely to the extent Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Term Loans have not waived the provisions of this clause (v), the interest rate margins for such Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the effective yield on the Term Loans is equal to the effective yield on such Incremental Term Facility minus 50 basis points; provided further that, in determining the effective yield on any Incremental Term Facility and any Term Loans, (x) customary arrangement, commitment, structuring, underwriting, ticking, unused line and amendment fees paid or payable to the lead arrangers (or their affiliates) in their respective capacities as such in connection with the applicable facility (regardless of whether such fees are paid to or shared in whole or in part with any lender) and any other fees that are not generally paid to all lenders (or their respective affiliates) ratably with respect to any such facility and that are paid or payable in connection with any such facility shall be excluded, (y) original issue discount (“OID") and upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) paid and payable to the lenders thereunder shall be included (with OID and upfront fees being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity without any present value discount or, if less, the remaining life to maturity) and (z) to the extent that SOFR for a three month interest period on the closing date of any such Incremental Term Facility (A) is less than 1.00%, the amount of such difference shall be deemed added to the interest margin for the applicable existing Term Loans, solely for the purpose of determining whether an increase in the interest rate margins for the applicable existing Term Loans shall be required and (B) is less than the interest rate floor, if any, applicable to any such Incremental Term Facility, the amount of such difference shall be deemed added to the interest rate margins for the loans under such Incremental Term Facility solely for such purpose (provided that, to the extent any increase in interest

 

 

Exhibit B-7


  

rate margin would be required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, solely on account of clause (B) immediately above, such increase shall be effected solely by way of an increase in the SOFR floor instead of an increase in the applicable margin) (all adjustments made pursuant to this clause (v), the “MFN Adjustment”),

 

(vi) any Incremental Term Facility that is pari passu in right of payment and security with the Term Loans shall share ratably or less than ratably in any voluntary prepayment and any mandatory prepayments of the Term Facility,

 

(vii) any Incremental Facility may rank junior in right of security to the Term Facility and/or the Revolving Facility or be unsecured, in which case, the Incremental Facility pursuant to which such incremental term loans or incremental revolving commitments are extended will be established as a separate facility from the then existing Credit Facilities; provided that such separate facility does not mature (and does not require any mandatory redemptions, sinking funds or similar payments or offers to purchase (excluding customary asset sale and change of control provisions and similar provisions and, if applicable, AHYDO catch-up payments)) on or prior to the final stated maturity date of, or have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than, loans under any existing Term Facility or Incremental Term Facility (in the case of an Incremental Term Facility) or any existing Revolving Facility or Incremental Revolving Facility (in the case of an Incremental Revolving Facility) (provided that the foregoing requirements in this clause (vii) shall not apply to any Incremental Facility consisting of a customary bridge facility, so long as the long-term debt into which any such customary bridge facility is to be converted or exchanged satisfies such requirements),

 

(viii) any Incremental Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder; provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Term Facility or the Revolving Facility, as the case may be, they shall (except to the extent permitted by clause (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) above) be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest maturity date of the applicable Credit Facility or Incremental Facility) (it being understood that no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent for terms or conditions if the Lenders under the initial Term Facility or Revolving Facility, as applicable, receive the benefit of such terms or conditions through their addition to the Credit Facilities Documentation), and

   (ix) in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Revolving Increases and Incremental Revolving Facilities exceed $30.0 million.

 

Exhibit B-8


  

Any Incremental Facility may be provided by existing Lenders and/or, subject to the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility and each Issuing Bank), and subject to the final proviso of this paragraph, other persons constituting eligible assignees who become Lenders in connection therewith if such consent would be required under the heading “Assignments and Participations” below for assignments or participations of Loans or commitments, as applicable, to such person; provided that no existing Lender will be obligated to provide any such Incremental Facility; provided further, that existing Lenders shall first be offered the opportunity to participate in any Incremental Facility (for the avoidance of doubt, prior to any persons not constituting an existing Lender) (such offer, a “ROFO”), with rights of first refusal consistent with the right set forth in the Documentation Precedent.

 

The proceeds of any Incremental Facility may be used for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes (including capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments, working capital and/or purchase price adjustments, restricted payments, prepayments of Specified Indebtedness and related fees and expenses) and for any other purpose not prohibited by the Credit Facilities Documentation.

(i) the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall (solely to the extent incurred in reliance on the Unrestricted Incremental Amount) result in a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the amount of indebtedness that may be in incurred under the Unrestricted Incremental Amount in respect of the Incremental Facilities,

 

 

Exhibit B-9


  

(ii) no event of default under the Credit Facilities Documentation has occurred and is continuing or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto; provided that in the case of any Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, instead the requirement shall be that no payment or bankruptcy event of default shall have occurred and be continuing on the LCT Test Date, and

 

(iii) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be subject to (x) the Required Debt Terms (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles) and (y) the ROFO (to the same extent as an Incremental Facility).

 

Conditions precedent related to the absence of defaults (other than payment or bankruptcy defaults) will be waivable by the requisite lenders in respect of any Incremental Facility or any Incremental Equivalent Debt in connection with Limited Condition Transactions.

   Incremental Equivalent Debt in the form of term loans secured on a pari passu basis (in security and right of payment) with the Secured Obligations shall be subject to the MFN Adjustment to the same extent it would be subject to the MFN Adjustment if it were an Incremental Facility.

Final Maturity and Amortization:   

(A)  Term Facility

 

The entire unpaid and outstanding principal amount of the Term Facility will be payable on the date that is six years after the Closing Date; provided that the Credit Facilities Documentation shall provide the right for individual Lenders to agree to extend the maturity date of their outstanding Term Loans upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent of any other Lender (and as further described below).

Exhibit B-13


   Loans without the consent of any other Lender; provided that all such requests shall be made pro rata to all Lenders within the applicable relevant class. The terms of Extended Loans shall be substantially similar to the loans of the existing class from which they are converted, except for interest rates, fees, amortization (which may result in a longer (but not shorter (without giving effect to any prepayments)) weighted average life than the existing class), final maturity date (which may be no earlier than the existing class), optional and mandatory prepayments, prepayment premiums and certain other customary provisions to be agreed, each of which shall be as agreed by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Extended Loans (with, for the avoidance of doubt, no required consent of any other lender).

a)  commencing with the fiscal year in which a Covenant Conversion occurs within fifteen (15) business days after the due date for the annual audited financial statements for such fiscal year, 50% of excess cash flow if the Total Leverage Ratio is greater than 6.25 to 1.00, 25% of excess cash flow if the Total Leverage Ratio is greater than 5.75 to 1.00 but less than or equal to 6.25 to 1.00 and 0% of excess cash flow if the Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.75 to 1.00, in each case, determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such prepayment and other cash expenditures or anticipated cash expenditures in accordance with Documentation Precedent;

  

b)  within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof, 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property by restricted subsidiaries of Holdings (including insurance and condemnation proceeds) subject to exceptions to be agreed (including an exception for de minimis dispositions that do not exceed $9 million in the aggregate

 

Exhibit B-14


  

per transaction (or series of transactions) and an exception for dispositions that do not exceed $18 million in any fiscal year, with only the amount in excess of such de minimis threshold and such annual limit required to be used to prepay the Term Loans) and, so long as no payment or bankruptcy event of default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to the right to reinvest 100% of such proceeds, if such proceeds (the “Reinvestment Proceeds”) are reinvested in the business of Holdings and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, in permitted acquisitions, investments and/or capital expenditures (or committed to be so reinvested) within 12 months and, if so committed to be reinvested, so long as such reinvestment is actually completed within 180 days after the end of such 12 month period (the “Reinvestment Period”), and other exceptions to be set forth in the Credit Facilities Documentation; and

 

c)  within five (5) business days after receipt thereof (or concurrently with the receipt thereof in the case of any Refinancing Facilities), 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of debt obligations of Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries after the Closing Date (excluding debt permitted under the Credit Facilities Documentation but including Refinancing Facilities).

 

Within the Term Facility, mandatory prepayments shall be applied to the remaining outstanding principal of the Term Facility.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Credit Facilities Documentation will provide that, in the event that any Incremental Facility, any Incremental Equivalent Debt or any Refinancing Facility in respect of any Term Loans or any other indebtedness, in each case secured by liens on the Collateral ranking on a pari passu basis (without regard to the control of remedies) with the Credit Facilities, shall be issued or incurred, such indebtedness may share on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis in any mandatory prepayments with respect to the Term Facility, in each case other than with respect to proceeds of Refinancing Facilities required to prepay the Term Loans or Incremental Term Facilities, as applicable.

 

Any Lender under the Term Facility may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment under clause (a) or (b) above (each a “Declining Lender” and the proceeds declined under the applicable facility, “Declined Proceeds”). Any prepayment amount declined by a Declining Lender may be retained (or applied as directed) by the Borrower and shall increase the Cumulative Amount (as defined below).

 

Exhibit B-15


  

The Loans under the Revolving Facility shall be prepaid and/or the letters of credit issued thereunder cash collateralized to the extent such extensions of credit exceed the amount of the commitments under the Revolving Facility.

 

Mandatory prepayments from foreign subsidiaries’ Excess Cash Flow and net cash proceeds (other than pursuant to any debt incurrence) will be subject to customary limitations under the Credit Facilities Documentation to the extent such prepayments or the obligation to make such prepayments (including the repatriation of cash in connection therewith) (a) could reasonably be expected to be prohibited, delayed or restricted by applicable law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, relating to financial assistance, corporate benefit, thin capitalization, capital maintenance and similar legal principles, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intragroup and fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant subsidiaries) or material constituent document restrictions (including as a result of minority ownership by third parties) and other material agreements (so long as any such prohibition is not created in contemplation of such prepayment) (provided that restricted subsidiaries of Holdings shall use commercially reasonable efforts (for a period not to exceed one year from the date of the event or calculation giving rise to such repatriation requirement, and subject to the considerations above and as determined in the Borrower’s reasonable business judgment) available under local law to permit such repatriation) or (b) could reasonably be expected to result in adverse tax consequences that are not de minimis (including any withholding tax) to Holdings or any of its restricted subsidiaries or its direct or indirect equityholders (as reasonably determined by the Borrower). The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a default or an event of default, and such amounts shall be available for working capital purposes of Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries as long as not required to be prepaid in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments required after application of the above provisions shall be net of any costs, expenses or taxes incurred by the Borrower or any of their affiliates arising as a result of compliance with the proviso in clause (a) above.

Voluntary Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments:    Voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Facility commitments and voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the Credit Facilities will be permitted at any time in minimum principal amounts to be agreed upon, without premium or penalty other than as set forth below.

   Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no default or event of default shall be deemed to have occurred on the basis of any failure to comply with the Recurring Revenue Covenant, EBITDA Covenant, or the Liquidity Covenant, as applicable, unless such failure is not cured by the making of a Specified Equity Contribution prior to the end of the Cure Period and (ii) no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be obligated to extend Revolving Loans or issue or renew Letters of Credit following the date on which the compliance certificate has been or was required to be delivered with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter in respect of which the Financial Covenant is breached and until a Specified Equity Contribution is made and all existing defaults and events of default are waived or cured.

Unrestricted subsidiaries (and the sale of any equity interests therein or assets thereof) will not be subject to the mandatory prepayment, representation and warranty, affirmative or negative covenant or event of default provisions of the Credit Facilities Documentation, and the results of operations and indebtedness of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of determining Consolidated EBITDA, LQA Recurring Revenues, Liquidity or compliance with the Financial Covenants or any other financial ratios or baskets. The designation of any restricted subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary shall constitute an investment therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the Credit Facilities Documentation shall provide that the only basket pursuant to which Holdings or any restricted subsidiary may transfer material intellectual property (including certain exclusive licenses other than those in the ordinary course or which do not interfere in any material respect with the ordinary conduct of business by Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries) that is utilized in the business of Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries to an unrestricted subsidiary shall be the negative covenant basket specified for investments in unrestricted subsidiaries (which shall be a fixed dollar basket available so long as such investments pursuant thereto do not exceed the greater of $34.0 million and 20% of Consolidated EBITDA) and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no restrictions on any unrestricted subsidiary otherwise owning any intellectual property (x) it develops, creates or acquires not in contravention of the forgoing clause (i) or (y) which does not constitute material intellectual property utilized by Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries.
   The designation of any unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any indebtedness or liens of such subsidiary existing at such time.

Events of Default:

   The Credit Facilities Documentation shall contain provisions regarding events of default consistent with the Documentation Principles; provided that a nonpayment of interest, fees or any other amount shall be subject to a five (5) business day grace period.

EXHIBIT B

 

Interest Rates:    The interest rates under the Credit Facilities will be as follows:

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an automatic Covenant Conversion on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the second anniversary of the Closing Date occurs result in a pricing step down pursuant to the definition of Applicable Margin unless and until the Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 7.00 to 1.00.
   The Borrower may elect interest periods of 1, 3 or 6 months for SOFR borrowings, in each case, to the extent available, and, for Daily SOFR borrowings only, certain other periods
   Calculation of interest shall be on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of ABR loans where the applicable rate is determined pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of ABR).
   Interest shall be payable in arrears for loans accruing interest (a) at a rate based on SOFR, at the end of each interest period and, for interest periods of greater than three months, every three months, and on the applicable maturity date, and (b) based on the ABR, quarterly in arrears and on the applicable maturity date.
   ABR” is the Alternate Base Rate, which is the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly identified from time to time as the U.S. “prime rate” as published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1.0% and (iii) the one-month SOFR rate plus 1.0% per annum.
   SOFR” is Term SOFR (to be defined in a manner to be mutually agreed) or, in the event that the Term SOFR reference rate for the applicable tenor has not been published, Daily SOFR; provided that if such rate is less than 1.00% per annum, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00% per annum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither Term SOFR nor Daily SOFR shall not be subject to any “credit spread adjustment” or similar adjustment, and the Credit Facilities Documentation shall include SOFR fallback and replacement provisions to be mutually agreed.

 

Annex I to Exhibit B-1


Letter of Credit Fee:

   A per annum fee equal to the spread over SOFR under the Revolving Facility will accrue on the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility, payable in arrears at the end of each quarter and upon the termination of the respective letter of credit, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

   The Borrower shall pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility of (a) initially, 0.50% per annum and (b) following a Covenant Conversion, (i) if the Secured Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 6.50 to 1.00 but greater than 5.75 to 1.00, 0.375% per annum and (ii) if the Secured Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.75 to 1.00, 0.25% per annum.
   The commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears commencing from the Closing Date, calculated based upon the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. Such fees shall be distributed to Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Lender’s Revolving Facility commitment.
