The Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on the determination of the spot rate provided to it and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any losses, shortfalls or expenses associated with the determination of such rate or conversion and delivery of such amounts on behalf of the Borrowers of such amounts, except to the extent any such losses or expenses arise from the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. It is understood and agreed that any foreign exchange transaction effected by the Administrative Agent may be entered with the bank serving as Administrative Agent or its affiliates acting as principal or otherwise through customary banking channels. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled at all times to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements applicable to currency or foreign exchange transactions.

(b)    For purposes of determining the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the amount of Indebtedness shall reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedging Obligations permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with Section 6 or the definitions of “Permitted Dispositions” “Permitted Investments” and “Permitted Liens” (and, in each case, other definitions used therein) with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Lien, disposition, Investment, Restricted Payment or other applicable transaction in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Lien is incurred or such disposition, Investment, Restricted Payment or other applicable transaction is made (so long as such Indebtedness, Lien, disposition, Investment, Restricted Payment or other applicable transaction at the time incurred or made was permitted hereunder). No Default or Event of Default shall arise as a result of any limitation or threshold set forth in Dollars in Section 7 being exceeded solely as a result of changes in currency exchange rates from those rates applicable on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the fiscal quarter in which such determination occurs or in respect of which such determination is being made.
(d)    Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Borrowers’ prior written consent to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency.
Section 1.08    Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York City time (daylight or standard, as applicable).
Section 1.09    Timing of Payment or Performance. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, when the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty, or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on (or before) a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
Section 1.10    Certifications. All certifications to be made hereunder by a Responsible Officer or representative of a Loan Party shall be made by such a Person in his or her capacity solely as a Responsible Officer or a representative of such Loan Party, on such Loan Party’s behalf and not in such Person’s individual capacity.
Section 1.11    Compliance with Certain Sections. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 6, in the event that any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness (whether at the time of incurrence or upon application of all or a portion of the proceeds thereof), Disposition, Restricted Payment, Affiliate Transaction, contractual requirement, or prepayment of Indebtedness meets the criteria of one, or more than one, of the “baskets” or categories of
62

    



transactions then permitted pursuant to any clause or subsection of Section 6, such transaction (or portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such clauses at the time of such transaction or any later time from time to time, in each case, as determined by the Borrowers in their sole discretion at such time and thereafter may be reclassified by the Borrowers in any manner not expressly prohibited by this Agreement. With respect to (x) any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that do not require compliance with a financial ratio or test substantially concurrently with (y) any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that require compliance with a financial ratio or test, it is understood and agreed that the amounts in clause (x) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the amounts in clause (y).
Section 1.12    Rates.     The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Each Lender severally, and not jointly with the other Lenders, agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to make revolving loans denominated in Dollars (each a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrowers at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and on a Borrowing Date in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the Commitment of such Lender, which Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Each Lender’s Commitment for Loans shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Termination Date.
63

    



(b)    Type of Borrowing. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch, or Affiliate of, such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the joint and several obligations of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.02    [Reserved].
Section 2.03    Requests for Loans.
(a)    Unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in connection with making the Loans, to request a Loan, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in a written Loan Request signed by the Borrowers (A) in the case of a SOFR Loan, not later than [***] before the proposed Borrowing Date and (B) in the case of an ABR Loan, not later than [***] before the proposed Borrowing Date. Each such Loan request shall be irrevocable. Each such Loan Request shall specify the following information:
(i)    the aggregate amount of the requested Loan (which shall comply with Section 2.01);
(ii)    specify the proposed Borrowing Date;
(iii)    whether such Loan is to be an ABR Loan or a SOFR Loan; and
(iv)    in the case of a SOFR Loan, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If no election as to the Type of Loan is specified, then the requested Loan shall be an ABR Loan.
(b)    Promptly following receipt of a Loan Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Loan.
Section 2.04    Funding of Loans. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in Section 4.02 herein, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the applicable Borrowing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m., or such earlier time as may be reasonably practicable, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by the Administrative Agent for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in Section 4.02 herein, the Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of the Loans available to the Borrowers, on behalf of the Borrowers, by promptly crediting such proceeds so received, in like funds, to the Collection Account.
Section 2.05    Co-Borrowers.
(a)    Joint and Several Liability. All Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several Obligations of the
64

    



Borrowers, each as principal. Anything contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder, solely to the extent that such Borrower did not receive proceeds of Loans from any borrowing hereunder, shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its Obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under §548 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Obligations of such Borrower (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Borrower, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Borrower in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to any other Loan Party or Affiliates of any other Loan Party to the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Loan Party hereunder) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation or contribution of such Borrower pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Borrower and other Affiliates of any Loan Party of Obligations arising under guarantees by such parties.
(b)    Subrogation. Until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments have been terminated, each Borrower shall withhold exercise of any right of subrogation, contribution or any other right to enforce any remedy which it now has or may hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other guarantor of the Obligations. Each Borrower further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, contribution and remedies as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any such rights such Borrower may have against the other Borrower, any collateral or security or any such other Loan Party, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Agents or the Lenders may have against the other Borrower, any such collateral or security, and any such other Loan Party.
(c)    Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower hereby waives, for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties: (1) any right to require any Senior Secured Parties, as a condition of payment or performance by such Borrower, to (i) proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of any other Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (2) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any other Borrower including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any other Borrower from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations; (3) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (4) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, except behavior which amounts to gross negligence or willful misconduct; (5) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Borrower’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such
65

    



Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments, recharacterization and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (6) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to such Borrower and any right to consent to any thereof; (7) any defense based upon any rescission, waiver, compromise, acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents and (8) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.
The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any provision hereof or thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, compromise, acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) the release, exchange, waiver or foreclosure of any security held by the Collateral Agent for the Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party; or (vi) the release or substitution of any Collateral or any other Loan Party.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower hereby waives any defense that it might have based on a failure to remain informed of the financial condition of the other Borrower and of any other Loan Party and any circumstances affecting the ability of the Borrowers to perform under this Agreement.
Each Borrower further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the other Borrower or any Guarantor, or otherwise.
Section 2.06    Alternate Rate of Interest. Subject to Section 2.09, in the event, and on each occasion, that on the date that is [***] prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a SOFR Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent manifest error) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly thereafter, give written or facsimile notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders and, until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the Borrower may revoke any request for a Borrowing of SOFR Loans and, failing that, any request by the Borrower for a Borrowing of SOFR Loans hereunder (including pursuant to a refinancing with SOFR Loans and including any request to continue, or to convert to SOFR Loans) shall be
66

    



deemed a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans and (ii) any outstanding SOFR Loans hereunder shall be converted to ABR Loans at the end of the then current Interest Period.
Section 2.07    Interest on Loans.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.09, each Loan shall bear interest (computed using the Day Count Fraction) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, to Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin plus the Special Interest Rate at such time (or, if the Alternate Base Rate shall apply instead of the Term SOFR pursuant to Section 2.09, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus the Special Interest Rate at such time.).
(b)    Accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, on the Termination Date and thereafter on written demand and upon any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount repaid or prepaid).
Section 2.08    Default Interest. If any Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or in the payment of any other amount due hereunder, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Borrowers or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall on written demand of the Administrative Agent from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on all overdue amounts up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed using the Day Count Fraction) equal to (a) with respect to the principal amount of any Loan, the rate then applicable for such Borrowings plus 2.0%, and (b) in the case of all other amounts, the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.0%.
Section 2.09    Benchmark Replacement Setting
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after [***] after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is based upon Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.
67

    



(b)    In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent (or with respect to any Non-SOFR Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrowers) will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, subject to the parenthetical above but notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.09 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.09.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e)    Upon Frontier’s or the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (a) Frontier or the Borrowers may revoke any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to
68

    



ABR Loans and (b) all calculations of interest by reference to the Term SOFR Reference Rate hereunder shall instead be made by reference to the Alternate Base Rate.
(f)    The Borrowers and the Administrative Agent will cooperate to effect any adoption of a new or replacement Benchmark (and any other modification of the terms of the Loan Documents) as contemplated by this Section 2.09 in a manner that does not result in a deemed exchange of any indebtedness issued in connection with this Agreement pursuant to Section 1001 of the Code.
Section 2.10    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a)    The Loans, together with all other Obligations (other than contingent obligations not due and owing) shall, in any event, be paid in full in cash no later than the Termination Date and each Lender’s Commitment for Loans shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Termination Date.
(b)    Subject to Section 7.01, on each Payment Date on which no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Available Funds in the Payment Account as of such Payment Date (based upon instructions in the Payment Date Statement furnished to it on the related Determination Date by the Borrowers) shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priority:
(i)    first, (x) the Loans’ Pro Rata Share of the amount of Cayman Islands government fees then due and owing, then (y) ratably to (i) the Depositary, the Loans’ Pro Rata Share of the amount of Fees, costs, expenses, reimbursements and indemnification amounts due and payable to such Person on such Payment Date pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents (which amounts shall be paid from Available Funds and from any amounts transferred to the Payment Account with respect to such Payment Date specifically to pay such amounts so long as Citibank, N.A. shall be serving as the Depositary), (ii) the Collateral Agent, the Loans’ Pro Rata Share of the amount of fees, costs, expenses, reimbursements and indemnification amounts due and payable to such Person on such Payment Date pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Loans’ Pro Rata Share of the amount of Fees, costs, expenses, reimbursements and indemnification amounts due and payable on such Payment Date to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, provided that the amounts distributed pursuant to this clause (y) shall not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate per Payment Date and then (z) ratably, the Loans’ Pro Rata Share of the amount of fees, expenses and other amounts due and owing to any Independent Director of any SPV Party (and any independent director service provider of any such Independent Director) or any Administrator, in the case of each of clause (x), (y) and (z), to the extent not otherwise paid or provided for or to the extent such Persons have agreed with the Borrowers for payment at a later date;
69

    



(ii)    second, to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amounts for all Classes of Loans with respect to such Payment Date minus the amount of interest paid by the Borrowers on the Loans after the immediately preceding Payment Date and prior to such Payment Date;
(iii)    third, on the Termination Date only, to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans;
(iv)    fourth, to the Reserve Account to the extent the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is less than the Reserve Account Required Balance for the immediately succeeding Payment Date, the amount of such shortfall;
(v)    fifth, to the extent not already paid, to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, as a reduction in the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, (i) the amount of any outstanding mandatory prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.12 to be applied in accordance with the terms thereof and (ii) any ECF Prepayment pursuant to Section 5.21;
(vi)    sixth, [Reserved];
(vii)    seventh, [Reserved];
(viii)    eighth, to pay ratably to (x) the Collateral Agent and Depositary (which amounts shall be paid from Available Funds and from any amounts transferred to the Payment Account with respect to such Payment Date specifically to pay such amounts so long as Citibank, N.A. shall be serving as the Collateral Agent and Depositary), and (y) to the Administrative Agent, any additional Obligations due and payable to such Person on such Payment Date, in each case to the extent not otherwise paid or provided for or to the extent such Persons have agreed with the Borrowers for payment at a later date;
(ix)    ninth, if a Cash Trap Period was in effect as of the last day of the Related Quarterly Reporting Period and a Cash Trap Cure has not occurred on or prior to such Payment Date, then to the ECF Account, an amount equal to the Required Excess Cash Flow for such Payment Date (provided that, in the event of a breach of Section 6.09 with respect to GoWild!, or breach of the obligation to contribute GoWild! as Collateral pursuant to Section 10.23, all such amounts remaining shall be applied to repay the Loans); and
(x)    tenth, all remaining amounts shall be released to or at the direction of the Borrowers, which may be distributed directly or indirectly to Frontier without any restriction.
70

    



For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Available Funds with respect to any Payment Date are insufficient to pay amounts due hereunder to the Agents, Lenders or any other Person on such Payment Date, the Borrowers and, to the extent provided in Section 9.01 hereof, the Guarantors, are fully obligated to timely pay such amounts to the Agents, Lenders or other Persons.
For the avoidance of doubt, so long as no mandatory prepayment is due and owing or Cash Trap Period has occurred and is continuing, amounts on deposit in the Payment Account that are in excess of the Required Deposit Amount required for the next Payment Date (as reasonably estimated by the Borrower) will be permitted to be withdrawn from the Payment Account on any Business Day (whether or not such business day is a Payment Date) and released to or at the direction of the applicable Borrower (and may be distributed directly or indirectly to Frontier without any restriction).
(c)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, which in all circumstances shall be consistent with the Register maintained pursuant to Section 10.02(c). The Borrowers shall have the right, upon reasonable notice, to request information regarding the accounts referred to in the preceding sentence.
(e)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section 2.10 shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(f)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in a form furnished by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.02) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to such payee and its registered assigns.
Section 2.11    Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. Upon at least one (1) Business Day revocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate all or a portion of the Commitment (subject to
71

    



compliance with Section 2.10(a)). Each such reduction of the Commitment shall be in the principal amount not less than $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Commitment, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the Commitment Fee accrued and unpaid on the amount of the Commitment of such Lender so terminated or reduced through the date thereof. Any reduction of the Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to reduce the Commitments of each Lender on a pro rata basis.
Section 2.12    Mandatory Prepayment of Loans. The Borrowers will prepay the Loans and the Commitments of each Lender shall be subject to automatic reduction on a pro rata basis, as follows:
(a)    Within [***] of the Borrowers or any other SPV Party receiving any Net Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness of the Borrowers or any other SPV Party (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.02), the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans and the Commitments shall be automatically reduced in an aggregate amount equal to the Loans’ Pro Rata Share of such Net Proceeds.
(b)    No later than [***] following the date of receipt by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Proceeds in respect of any Recovery Event (in each case, in respect of Collateral) which Net Proceeds, together with the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds previously received from Recovery Events since the later of (x) the date that is 36 months prior to the date of such Recovery Event and (y) the Closing Date, are in excess of $20,000,000 (the “Threshold Amount”, and all such Net Proceeds in excess of the Threshold Amount, “Excess Proceeds”), the Borrowers shall (i) give written notice to the Administrative Agent of such Recovery Event and (ii) prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the Loans’ Pro Rata Share of such Excess Proceeds (other than any such Excess Proceeds withheld for reinvestment pursuant to the proviso in this clause (b)) no later than the [***] following the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds; provided that (1) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of receipt of such Excess Proceeds, the Borrowers shall have the option to (x) invest such Excess Proceeds within 365 days of receipt thereof in Qualified Replacement Assets (or, if a binding commitment for any such investment has been entered into within such 365-day period, within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period) or (y) repair, replace or restore the assets which are the subject of such Recovery Event; and (2) within [***] of the end of such permitted reinvestment period (or earlier if the Borrowers so elect), the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans and the Commitments shall be automatically reduced in an aggregate amount equal to the Loans’ Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such Excess Proceeds not used in accordance with the preceding subclause (1). Any Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at least [***] prior to the prepayment date, to decline all (but not less than all) of the prepayment of any Class of its Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(b), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Loans but was so declined shall be retained by the Borrowers (or Parent, Frontier or such other applicable Subsidiary of Parent).
(c)    No later than [***] following the date of receipt by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Proceeds in respect of (x) any Collateral Sale of Frontier Miles Intellectual Property or Brand Intellectual Property (other than with respect to any Permitted
72

    



Disposition) or (y) any other Collateral Sale (other than with respect to any Permitted Pre-paid Miles Purchase or Permitted Disposition) which Net Proceeds, together with the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds previously received from Collateral Sales (other than with respect to any Permitted Pre-paid Miles Purchases or Permitted Dispositions) during the fiscal year in which such date occurs, are in excess of $10,000,000 (the “CS Threshold Amount”, and all such Net Proceeds in excess of the CS Threshold Amount, together with all Net Proceeds of any Collateral Sale of Frontier Miles Intellectual Property or Brand Intellectual Property (other than with respect to any Permitted Pre-paid Miles Purchase or Permitted Disposition), collectively, “CS Excess Proceeds”), the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to Loans’ Pro Rata Share of such CS Excess Proceeds no later than the [***] following the date of receipt of such CS Excess Proceeds, provided that (1) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of receipt of such CS Excess Proceeds, the Borrowers shall have the option to (x) invest such CS Excess Proceeds within 365 days of receipt thereof in Qualified Replacement Assets (or, if a binding commitment for any such investment has been entered into within such 365-day period, within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period) or (y) repair, replace or restore the assets which are the subject of such Collateral Sale; and (2) within [***] of the end of such permitted reinvestment period (or earlier if the Borrowers so elect), the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans and the Commitments shall be automatically reduced in an aggregate amount equal to the Loans’ Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such CS Excess Proceeds not used in accordance with the preceding subclause (1). Any Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days prior to the prepayment date, to decline all (but not less than all) of the prepayment of any Class of its Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Loans but was so declined shall be retained by the Borrowers (or Parent, Frontier or such other applicable Subsidiary of Parent).
(d)    Within [***] of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries receiving any Net Proceeds as a result of any Contingent Payment Event which Net Proceeds, together with the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds previously received from Contingent Payment Events since the Closing Date, are in excess of $50,000,000 (and all such Net Proceeds in excess of such threshold amount, “Excess CPE Proceeds”), the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans and the Commitments shall be automatically reduced in an aggregate amount equal to the Loans’ Pro Rata Share of such Excess CPE Proceeds. Any Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days prior to the prepayment date, to decline all (but not less than all) of the prepayment of any Class of its Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(d), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Loans but was so declined shall be retained by the Borrowers (or Parent, Frontier or such other applicable Subsidiary of Parent).
(e)    Within [***] of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries receiving any Net Proceeds of a Pre-paid Miles Purchase which Net Proceeds, together with the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds previously received from Pre-paid Miles Purchases in any fiscal year, are in excess of the lesser of (i) the maximum amount for such year of the pre-paid miles facility available under the Barclays Co-Branded Credit Card Agreement and (ii) $200,000,000 (all such Net Proceeds in excess of such threshold, “Excess Miles Proceeds”), the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans and the Commitments shall be automatically reduced in an aggregate amount equal to
73

    



the Loans’ Pro Rata Share of such Excess Miles Proceeds; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to make such prepayment so long as the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds received from Pre-Paid Miles Purchases in any fiscal year is less than the Excess Miles Proceeds.
(f)    Within [***] following the occurrence of a Parent Change of Control, the Borrowers shall prepay all of each Lender’s Loans at a purchase price in cash equal to [***] of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans prepaid. Any Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at least [***] prior to the prepayment date, to decline all (but not less than all) of the prepayment of any Class of its Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(f).
(g)    Amounts required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) through (f) shall be applied to prepay the Loans. To the extent that such amounts are not applied on a Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) with payment instructions setting forth the applicable amounts and payees in respect thereof. All prepayments under Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to (but not including) the date of prepayment, plus any Fees (if any) included in, and any losses, costs and expenses, as more fully described in Section 2.15. Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.12 may not be reborrowed. To the extent that any amounts required to be applied as a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12 are on deposit in the Collection Account on any Allocation Date on which an Event of Default is not continuing, the portion of such amount allocated to the Loans pursuant to the Collateral Agency and Accounts Agreement shall be applied as Available Funds on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.10(b).
(h)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(b) through (e) arises as a result of Net Proceeds generated by a Subsidiary of Parent (other than an SPV Party) that is not organized in the United States (or a Subsidiary of Parent that is organized in the United States but that is a Subsidiary of an entity (other than an SPV Party) that is not organized in the United States) and the Borrowers reasonably determine (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) that actions reasonably required to use such Net Proceeds to effect a prepayment of Loans pursuant to such sections of this Section 2.12 would result in material and adverse Tax consequences to Parent or its Affiliates, then the relevant amounts shall be entitled to be retained by Parent or the applicable Affiliate of Parent and such amounts shall not be required to be used to effect a prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12.
Section 2.13    Optional Prepayment of Loans.
(a)    The Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to prepay any Loans, in whole or in part, upon delivery of a written notice of prepayment, substantially in the form of Exhibit J, by facsimile or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent, received by 1:00 p.m., on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of prepayment; provided that each such partial prepayment, if any, shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
74

    



(b)    Any prepayments under Section 2.13 shall be applied to prepay the Loans. To the extent that such amounts are not applied on a Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) with payment instructions setting forth the applicable amounts and payees in respect thereof. All prepayments under Section 2.13 shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to (but not including) the date of prepayment, plus any Fees (if any), and any losses, costs and expenses, as more fully described in Sections 2.15 hereof.
(c)    Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid and shall commit the Borrowers to prepay such Loan in the amount and on the date stated therein; provided that the Borrowers may revoke any notice of prepayment under this Section 2.13 if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of any or all of the Obligations hereunder or the occurrence of another event or condition and such refinancing or event or condition shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrowers hereunder, notify each Lender of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment.
Section 2.14    Increased Costs.
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement subject to Section 2.14(c)); or
(ii)    impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or SOFR Loans made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder with respect to any SOFR Loan (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon the request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender reasonably determines in good faith that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Lender’s holding company regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the SOFR Loan made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such
75

    



additional amount or amounts, in each case as documented by such Lender to the Borrowers as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; it being understood that this Section 2.14 shall not apply to provide any indemnity or other compensation in respect of (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes described in clause (a)(i) or (b) through (d) of the definition thereof or (C) Connection Income Taxes.
(c)    Solely to the extent arising from a Change in Law, the Borrowers shall pay to each Lender (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each SOFR Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Loan Commitments or the funding of the SOFR Loan, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Loan Commitment or SOFR Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided that the Borrowers shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, and which notice shall specify the statutory reserve rate, if any, applicable to such Lender) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give written notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.
(d)    A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 and the basis for calculating such amount or amounts shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due (absent manifest error). The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount due within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such certificate.
(e)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention as to the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.
76

    



(f)    The Borrowers shall not be required to make payments under this Section 2.14 to any Lender if (A) a claim hereunder arises solely through circumstances peculiar to such Lender and which do not affect commercial banks in the jurisdiction of organization of such Lender generally, (B) the claim arises out of a voluntary relocation by such Lender of its applicable lending office (it being understood that any such relocation effected pursuant to Section 2.18 is not “voluntary”), or (C) such Lender is not seeking similar compensation for such costs to which it is entitled from its borrowers generally in commercial loans of a similar size.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, regulations, requests, rules, guidelines or directives implemented after the Closing Date pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or Basel III shall be deemed to be a Change in Law; provided that any determination by a Lender of amounts owed pursuant to this Section 2.14 to such Lender due to any such Change in Law shall be made in good faith in a manner generally consistent with such Lender’s standard practice.
Section 2.15    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on a Payment Date (including as a result of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default), (b) the failure to borrow or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (other than with respect to a conditional notice that is revoked in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), or (c) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on a Payment Date as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 10.08(d), then, in any such event, at the request of such Lender, the Borrowers shall compensate such Lender for the loss, cost and expense sustained by such Lender attributable to such event; provided that in no case shall this Section 2.15 apply to any payment pursuant to Section 2.10(b). Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined in good faith by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan (excluding, however the Applicable Margin included therein, if any), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts (and the basis for requesting such amount or amounts) that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due (absent manifest error). The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount due within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such certificate.
Section 2.16    Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable
77

    



law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Lender or Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    In addition (and without duplication of any payments with respect to Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.16(a)), the Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)    Without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16(a) or 2.16(b), the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender or Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. After an Agent or a Lender, as the case may be, learns of the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes, such party will act in good faith to notify the Borrowers promptly of its obligation thereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender, by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, or by the Collateral Agent on its own behalf, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment to the extent available, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)    Each Lender shall, within [***] after written demand therefor, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrowers) for the full amount of any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, respectively in good faith. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


78

    



(f)    
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (f)(ii)(1), (ii)(2) and (ii)(4) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(1)    any Lender that is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(2)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable
(A)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
79

    



(B)    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(C)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of either Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to either Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(D)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(3)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
(4)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
80

    



(g)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)    Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall provide the Borrowers on or prior to the date on which such Agent becomes a party under this Agreement with two (2) properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding, with the effect that, in either case, the Borrowers will be legally entitled to make payments hereunder to the Agent without withholding or deduction on account of U.S. federal withholding Tax, and the Agent hereby certifies that it will handle U.S. withholding tax collection (if any required) with respect to payments to the Lenders and shall update such forms periodically upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers.
(i)    Each person required to provide Tax forms pursuant to this Section 2.16 agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “applicable law” for purposes of this Section 2.16 includes FATCA.
Section 2.17    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment.
(a)    The Borrowers shall make each payment or prepayment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 388 Greenwich Street, New York New York 10013, pursuant to wire instructions to be provided by
81

    



the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Section 10.04 shall be made directly by the Borrowers to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars.
(b)    [Reserved].
(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(d)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04, 8.04, 8.07 or 10.04(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
(e)    Pro Rata Treatment.
(i)    Each payment by the Borrowers in respect of the Loans shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.
(ii)    Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made to the applicable Class or Classes of Loans pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders.
(f)    If all or any part of any payment by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or other Secured Party is determined by the Administrative Agent to have been made in error, whether known to the recipient or not, or if such Lender or other Secured Party is not otherwise entitled to receive such payment under the provisions of this Agreement at such time and in such amount from the Administrative Agent as determined by the Administrative Agent (any such payment, an “Erroneous Payment”), then the relevant Lender or other Secured Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand an amount equal to such Erroneous Payment made to such Lender or other Secured Party with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
82

    



Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender that fails to return such amounts to the Administrative Agent within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice shall be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes under this Agreement. Each Lender and other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or other Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount in respect of an Erroneous Payment due from such Lender or other Secured Party, respectively, to the Administrative Agent. Any determination by the Administrative Agent that all or a portion of any payment was an Erroneous Payment shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and other Secured Party irrevocably waives any claim of discharge for value and any other claim of entitlement to, or in respect of, any Erroneous Payment.
Section 2.18    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    If the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount or indemnification payment to any Lender under Section 2.14 or to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder, to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrowers or to take other reasonable measures, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation, assignment, filing or other measures (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense (other than immaterial costs and expenses) and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16.
(b)    If, after the date hereof, any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14 or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, Non-Extending Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) prepay such Lender’s outstanding Loans (on a non-pro rata basis), or (ii) require such Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.02), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), in any case as of a Business Day specified in such notice from the Borrowers; provided that (i) such terminated or assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts due, owing and payable to it hereunder at the time of such termination or assignment, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees in the case of an assignment) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of an assignment due to payments required to be made
83

    



pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.
Section 2.19    Certain Fees. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay to (i) the Administrative Agent, the fees to which it is respectively entitled as set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, dated as of September 26, 2024, among the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (the “Agent Fee Letter”), and (ii) to the Collateral Agent the fees set forth in the fee proposal, dated as of September 26, 2024 (the “Collateral Agent Fee Letter” and together with the Agent Fee Letter, the “Fee Letter”), among the Collateral Agent and the Borrowers, in each case at the times set forth therein. Other than the amounts to be paid on the Closing Date, all amounts due and owing pursuant to the Fee Letter shall be subject to the payment priorities set forth in Section 2.10(b).
Section 2.20    Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fees”) during the Availability Period, computed (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily Unused Commitment. Such Commitment Fee, to the extent then accrued, shall be payable quarterly in arrears (a) on each Payment Date, (b) on the Termination Date with respect to the applicable Commitments, and (c) as provided in Section 2.11 hereof, upon any reduction or termination in whole or in part of the Commitment.
Section 2.21    [Reserved].
Section 2.22    Nature of Fees. Except as otherwise specified in the Fee Letter or the Collateral Agent Fee Letter, as applicable, all Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, (a) to the Administrative Agent, as provided herein and in the Fee Letter or (b) to the Collateral Agent, as applicable, as provided in the Collateral Agent Fee Letter, as applicable. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.
Section 2.23    Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(b), the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender (and their respective banking Affiliates) are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding the Escrow Accounts) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender (or any of such banking Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of any such overdue amounts owing to such Person under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under any Loan Document; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.26(d) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide
84

    



promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent agree promptly to notify the Loan Parties after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent (or any of such banking Affiliates), as the case may be, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.23 are in addition to other rights and remedies which such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may have upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
Section 2.24    Debt Service Coverage Cure. To the extent that Collections received in the Collection Account with respect to any Quarterly Reporting Period are insufficient to satisfy the Debt Service Coverage Ratio Test for such Quarterly Reporting Period (the “Shortfall Period”), at any time prior to the related Determination Date the Borrowers may deposit, or cause to be deposited into the Collection Account, funds in an amount necessary to satisfy the Debt Service Coverage Ratio Test for such Shortfall Period (determined as if such deposited funds constitute Collections attributable to such Shortfall Period); provided that (x) deposits made pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall not occur more than five (5) times in the aggregate since the Closing Date and no more than two (2) times in any 12 month period, (y) any such amounts received in the Collection Account on or prior to the applicable Determination Date in accordance with this Section 2.24 will be treated as Collections for the Shortfall Period for purposes of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio Test (the “DSCR Cure”) and all other purposes and (z) amounts deposited in the Collection Account after such Determination Date shall be treated as Collections for the Quarterly Reporting Period in which such funds were deposited and shall not be included in the Debt Service Coverage Ratio Test for the Shortfall Period (amounts deposited pursuant to this paragraph being, “Cure Amounts”).
Section 2.25    Payment of Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, upon the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of any of the Obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents of the Loan Parties, the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Obligations.
Section 2.26    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    If at any time any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.02(b) (with the assignment fee to be waived in such instance and subject to any consents required by such Section) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to find a replacement Lender.
(b)    Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.26(a) shall (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender’s outstanding Loan Commitments and Loans, and (ii) deliver any documentation evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such
85

    



Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as specified by the Borrowers and such assignee, of the assigning Lender’s outstanding Commitments and Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Commitments and Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance (including, without limitation, any amounts owed under Section 2.15 due to such replacement occurring on a day other than a Payment Date), and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate documentation executed by the Borrowers, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Commitments and Loans, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender; provided that an assignment contemplated by this Section 2.26(b) shall become effective notwithstanding the failure by the Lender being replaced to deliver the Assignment and Acceptance contemplated by this Section 2.26(b), so long as the other actions specified in this Section 2.26(b) shall have been taken.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.08.
(d)    Any amount paid by the Borrowers or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but shall instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account until (subject to Section 2.26(f)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and will be applied by the Collateral Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority:
first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent;
second, to the payment of the Default Interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders which are Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them,
third, to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them,
fourth, to pay principal then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them,
86

    



fifth, to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and
sixth, after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(e)    The Borrowers may terminate the Unused Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than [***] prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Non-Defaulting Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.26(d) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
(f)    If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Non-Defaulting Lenders, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.26(d)), such Lender shall purchase at par such portions of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders, and/or make such other adjustments, as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Lenders to hold Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with their ratable shares, whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 8.05.
Section 2.27    Commitment Increase.
(a)    Borrowers Request. The Borrowers may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time request, prior to the Termination Date, an increase to the Commitments; provided that after giving effect to such increase, the total Commitments shall not exceed $500,000,000. Such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrowers propose that the increased Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than [***] after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrowers propose any portion of such increased Commitments be allocated (each, a “Increase Lender”) and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all
87

    



or a portion of the increased Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased Commitment.
(b)    Conditions. The increased Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date provided that:
(i)    each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied on or prior to such Increase Effective Date;
(ii)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from giving effect to the increased Commitments on such Increase Effective Date;
(iii)    after giving pro forma effect to the increased Commitments to be made on such Increase Effective Date, the LTV Ratio shall not exceed the LTV Maximum Threshold; and
(iv)    the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.
(c)    Terms of Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to the increased Commitments shall be identical to the Loans. The increased Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such increased Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.27. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Loans made pursuant to any increased Commitments made pursuant to this Agreement.
(d)    Adjustment of Loans. Each of the existing Lenders shall assign to each of the applicable Increase Lenders, and each of the Increase Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Loans outstanding on such Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Loans will be held by the existing Lenders and Increase Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to the increased Commitments on such Increase Effective Date. If there is a new Borrowing of Loans on such Increase Effective Date, the Lenders after giving effect to such Increase Effective Date shall make such Loans in accordance with Section 2.01(a). Any amounts owed under Section 2.15 due to a reallocation of SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section 2.27(d) occurring on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15.
88

    



(e)    Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and increased Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.27 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the security interests created by the Collateral Documents.
Section 2.28    Extension of Loans.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Extension Offer”), made from time to time by the Borrowers to all Lenders holding Loans with like maturity date, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate Commitments with like maturity date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in any such Extension Offers to extend the scheduled maturity date with respect to all or a portion of any outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by changing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Commitments) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Loans, as so extended, as well as the original Loans not so extended, being a “tranche of Loans”, and subject to the last sentence of the definition of “Class” any Extended Loan shall constitute a separate tranche of Loans from the tranche of Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied or waived:
(i)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the applicable Lenders (the “Extension Offer Date”);
(ii)    except as to interest rates, fees, scheduled amortization payments of principal and final maturity (which shall be as set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Loan of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Loan extended pursuant to an Extension Amendment (an “Extended Loan”), shall be a Loan with the same terms as the original Loans; provided that (1) the permanent repayment of Extended Loans after the applicable Extension shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Loans, except that the Borrowers shall be permitted to permanently repay any such tranche of Loans on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other tranche of Loans with a later maturity date than such tranche of Loans, (2) assignments and participations of Extended Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Loans and (3) at no time shall there be Loans hereunder (including Extended Loans and any original Loans) which have more than five different maturity dates;
(iii)    all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing;
89

    



(iv)    the Borrowers may amend, revoke or replace an Extension Offer at any time prior to the date on which Lenders under the tranche of Loans are requested to respond to the offer; and
(v)    any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrowers.
For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be obligated to accept any Extension Offer.
(b)    [Reserved].
(c)    With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.28, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 and (ii) each Extension Offer shall specify the minimum amount of Loans to be tendered, which shall be a minimum amount reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent (a “Minimum Extension Condition”). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.28 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.12, 2.17 and 8.08) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.28.
(d)    The consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be required to effectuate any Extension. No consent of any Lender shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans (or a portion thereof), as applicable. All Extended Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, an “Extension Amendment”) with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches or Classes in respect of Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches or Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.28.
(e)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.28.

106

    



Payment Date Statement is not received by the Collateral Agent prior to the payment of Available Funds on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.10(b), and it is later determined that the information identified by the Administrative Agent as incorrect was in fact incorrect and such error resulted in a party receiving a smaller distribution on the Payment Date than they would have received had there not been such an error, then the Borrowers shall indemnify such party for such shortfall. For the avoidance of doubt and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to inquire into, investigate, verify or perform any calculations in connection with a Payment Date Statement or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, notice from the Administrative Agent in respect of the same; it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall not be liable for so relying, on the Payment Date Statement last received by it on or prior to each Payment Date and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation, responsibility or liability in connection with any indemnification payment of the Borrowers pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

The Borrowers agree to provide copies of any notices or any deliverables given or received under the Collateral Agency and Accounts Agreement to the Administrative Agent, including any notice or deliverable required to be provided to the Senior Secured Debt Representatives.

The Collateral Agent shall have no liability or responsibility for the content, filing or timeliness of any report or other information delivered, filed or posted under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to monitor or access any website of a Loan Party or any other Person referenced herein, shall not have any duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance or performance by any Loan Party or any other Person of its obligations under this Section 5.01 or otherwise and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any Loan Party’s or any other Person’s non-performance or non-compliance with such obligations.

108

    



Frontier or Parent shall, in such officer’s reasonable judgment, determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.04 shall not prohibit any actions permitted by Section 6.04 or Section 6.10(b).
Section 5.05    Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party shall comply, and cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where such noncompliance, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Frontier may also elect (at its sole discretion) to deliver an Appraisal to the Administrative Agent on any other date (whether or not a Determination Date, an “Optional LTV Test Date”) on which no Appraisal was required (which Appraisal shall be determined no earlier than 30 days prior to such Optional LTV Test Date) and shall be permitted to re-test the LTV Ratio on such Optional LTV Test Date using such updated Appraisal. All Appraisals delivered to the Administrative Agent must be performed by an Approved Appraisal Firm.

Contribution, GoWild! in a manner materially consistent with the operation of the Frontier Miles Program, the Discount Den Program, or only upon the GoWild! Contribution, GoWild! at such time, or any other similar airline loyalty program (other than a Permitted Acquisition Loyalty Program), without the rights granted to Frontier with respect to such Intellectual Property under the IP Licenses; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Frontier shall not be required to so contribute any Excluded Intellectual Property or sublicense any Intellectual Property owned by any non-Affiliate third party.

The Reserve Account shall be subject at all times to an Account Control Agreement, subject to Section 8.05(c). So long as the Collateral Agent has not been notified by the Administrative Agent or any Borrower that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Collateral Agent shall, at the written direction of either Borrower from time to time cause the funds held in the Reserve Account, from time to time, to be invested in one or more Cash Equivalents selected by
119

    



such Borrower (which Cash Equivalents shall at all times be subject to the Lien created hereunder); provided that in no event shall the Collateral Agent: (i) have any responsibility whatsoever as to the validity or quality of any Cash Equivalent (or for determining whether any investment made qualifies under the definition of “Cash Equivalent”), (ii) be liable for the selection of Cash Equivalents or for investment losses incurred thereon or in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Cash Equivalent before its stated maturity pursuant to this Section 5.18 or the failure of a Borrower to provide timely written investment direction or (iii) have any obligation to invest or reinvest any such amounts in the absence of such investment direction.

The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to invest or reinvest the funds held in the Reserve Account on any day to the extent that the Collateral Agent has not received investment instruction on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Borrower direct any investment in any such Cash Equivalent that will mature later than the Business Day before the next occurring Payment Date. It is agreed and understood that the entity serving as the Collateral Agent may earn fees associated with the investments outlined above in accordance with the terms of such investments. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be deemed an investment manager or adviser in respect of any selection of investments hereunder. It is understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent or its respective affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Collateral Agent’s economic self-interest for (1) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub custodian with respect to certain of the investments, (2) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain investments and (3) effecting transactions in investments. All income from such Cash Equivalents shall be retained in the Reserve Account, subject to release as permitted by this Agreement.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in consultation with the Borrowers, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. For the avoidance of doubt, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice of resignation on the Resignation Effective Date. With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (b) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
141

    



Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.
(b)    The Collateral Agent may at any time resign at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent; provided that, no resignation of the Collateral Agent will be permitted unless a successor Collateral Agent has been appointed. Promptly after receipt of notice of the Collateral Agent’s resignation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Agent (which successor Collateral Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (f), (g) or (o) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers) by written instrument, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the Borrowers, the resigning Collateral Agent and to the successor Collateral Agent. In the event no successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed within 30 days after the giving of notice of such resignation, the Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Borrowers, may with or without cause remove and discharge the Collateral Agent or any successor Collateral Agent thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Promptly after giving notice of removal of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Collateral Agent (which successor Collateral Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (f), (g) or (o) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers). Any such appointment shall be accomplished by written instrument and a copy shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent and the successor Collateral Agent and the Borrowers.
(c)    In the event that the Collateral Agent shall no longer have the deposit rating necessary for the Collection Accounts, Payment Account, ECF Account and Reserve Account to be Eligible Deposit Accounts, the Borrowers shall be permitted to and shall promptly, and in any event within 30 days (as such deadline may be extended by the Administrative Agent) of (A) a Responsible Officer of Frontier or the Borrowers obtaining actual knowledge of such ratings change or (B) receipt by a Borrower of notice from the Administrative Agent of such ratings change, move the Collection Accounts, Payment Account, ECF Account and the Reserve Account, as applicable, to a depository institution (i) selected by the Borrowers that that has the deposit rating necessary for the Collection Accounts, Payment Account, ECF Account and Reserve Account to be Eligible Deposit Accounts or (ii) that is otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and will cause such depositary institution to execute an Account Control Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

Section 8.06    Independent Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 8.07    Advances and Payments.
(a)    On the date of each Loan, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (but not obligated) to advance, for the account of each of the Lenders, the amount of the Loan to be made by it in accordance with its Commitment hereunder. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith upon written demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to, but excluding, the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the Interest Rate otherwise applicable to such Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then (x) such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Loan and the Borrowers shall not be obligated to repay such amount pursuant to the preceding sentence if not previously repaid and (y) if such amount was previously repaid by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make a corresponding amount available to the Borrowers.
(b)    Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement (other than amounts to which the Administrative Agent is entitled pursuant to Sections 2.19, 8.04 and 10.04), the application of which is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b). All amounts to be paid to a Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be credited to that Lender, after collection by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in that Lender’s correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, as such Lender and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree.
Section 8.08    Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that, except to the extent this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if it shall, through the exercise either by it or any of its banking Affiliates of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against a Borrower or a Guarantor, including, but not limited to, a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim and received by such Lender (or any of its banking Affiliates) under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or otherwise, obtain payment in respect
143

    



of its Loans as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Loans is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Loans of any other Lender (a) it shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Lender a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Lender’s Loans and its participation in Loans of the other Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then-outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to the obtaining of such payment and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Lenders share such payment pro-rata, provided that if any such non-pro-rata payment is thereafter recovered or otherwise set aside, such purchase of participations shall be rescinded (without interest). Each Loan Party expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender holding (or deemed to be holding) a participation in a Loan acquired pursuant to this Section or any of its banking Affiliates may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by a Loan Party to such Lender as fully as if such Lender was the original obligee thereon, in the amount of such participation. The provisions of this Section 8.08 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it or (c) any payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to the Fee Letter.
Section 8.09    Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding tax applicable to such payment. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason, or the Administrative Agent has paid over to the Internal Revenue Service applicable withholding tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, without duplication of any indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.04, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred.
Section 8.10    Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers, the Agents, and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights, and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties and all powers, rights, and remedies under the Senior Secured Debt Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law and in accordance with the terms hereof, the other Loan Documents and the other Senior Secured Debt Documents, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or
144

    



private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Senior Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.
Section 8.11    Intercreditor Agreements Govern. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant to the terms hereof, (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into each intercreditor agreement (including each Intercreditor Agreement) entered into pursuant to the terms hereof and to subject the Liens securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof and (c) hereby authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into any intercreditor agreement that includes, or to amend any then existing intercreditor agreement to provide for, the terms described in the definition of “Junior Lien Debt”. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of each intercreditor agreement (including any Intercreditor Agreement) and this Agreement, the provisions of such intercreditor agreement shall control in all respects. With respect to any reference in this Agreement to another intercreditor agreement, subordination agreement or arrangement reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers’ (or other similar description), Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby agree to, and each Secured Party and each Lender hereby directs the Administrative Agent to, negotiate with the Borrowers in good faith and promptly (and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days following written request by the Borrowers) enter into such other intercreditor or subordination agreement that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied) upon request by the Borrowers.
Each Lender hereby agrees (i) that all Obligations will be and are secured equally and ratably by all Priority Liens (as defined in the Collateral Agency and Accounts Agreement) at any time granted by any Grantor to the Collateral Agent to secure any obligations in respect of any other Series of Senior Secured Debt (as defined in the Collateral Agency and Accounts Agreement), whether or not upon property otherwise constituting Collateral, and that all such Priority Liens will be enforceable by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of all holders of Senior Secured Debt Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agency and Accounts Agreement) equally and ratably; and (ii) that each Lender is bound by the provisions of the Collateral Agency and Accounts Agreement, including the provisions relating to the ranking of Priority Liens and the order of application of proceeds from enforcement of Priority Liens; and each Lender consents to the terms of the Collateral Agency and Accounts Agreement and the Collateral Agent’s performance of, and directing the Collateral Agent to perform its obligations under, the Collateral Agency and Accounts Agreement and the other Senior Secured Debt Documents.
Section 8.12    Collateral Agent as Beneficiary. Without limitation of the terms of the Collateral Agency and Accounts Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent is
145

    



a third party beneficiary of Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 8.04, and any other terms hereof which operate to the benefit of the Collateral Agent, with full rights to enforce the same and no such term may be amended, modified or waived in any respect that would be materially adverse to the Collateral Agent without its written consent.
SECTION 9.

GUARANTY
Section 9.01    Guaranty.
(a)    Each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees on a senior basis the due and punctual payment by the Borrowers of the Obligations (including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of the obligor whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each of the Guarantors further agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and it will remain bound upon this guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations. The Obligations of the Guarantors shall be joint and several. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guaranty hereunder is a primary obligation of such Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety.
(b)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives presentation to, demand for payment from and protest to the Borrowers or any other Guarantor, and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any provision hereof or thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, compromise, acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) the release, exchange, waiver or foreclosure of any security held by the Collateral Agent for the Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; or (vi) the release or substitution of any Collateral or any other Guarantor.
(c)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors further agrees that this guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not just of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or a Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit, account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Guarantor, or to any other Person.
(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense that it might have based on a failure to remain informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and of any other Guarantor and any circumstances affecting the ability of the Borrowers to perform under this Agreement.
146

    



(e)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor’s guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any other instrument evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor or by any other circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to this guaranty (other than payment in full in cash of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than those that constitute unasserted contingent indemnification obligations)). None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of the Lenders makes any representation or warranty in respect to any such circumstances or shall have any duty or responsibility whatsoever to any Guarantor in respect of the management and maintenance of the Obligations.
(f)    Upon the occurrence of the Obligations becoming due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise), the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Obligations by the Guarantors upon written demand by the Administrative Agent.
(g)    The Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 9.02    No Impairment of Guaranty. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation or impairment for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, other than pursuant to a written agreement in compliance with Section 10.08 and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, netting, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of any Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision hereof or thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Party or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Loan Party as a matter of law.
Section 9.03    Continuation and Reinstatement, Etc. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower or a Guarantor, or otherwise.
Section 9.04    Subrogation; Fraudulent Conveyance.
147

    



(a)    Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary or a Lender hereunder, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrowers arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all the Obligations (including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of an obligor whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding). If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor for the account of the Borrowers relating to the Obligations prior to payment in full of the Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary and the Lenders to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that (1) (a) all Indebtedness and other payment obligations owed to Frontier or any other Guarantor by the Borrowers or any other SPV Party shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to (and not subject to setoff, netting or recoupment prior to) the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations (including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of an obligor whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding); and (b) all Indebtedness and other payment obligations owed to Frontier or any other Guarantor by any other of Frontier or any other Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to (and not subject to setoff, netting or recoupment prior to) the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations (including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of an obligor whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding); provided that, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b) above, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any payments in respect of such Indebtedness and other payment obligations shall not be prohibited (to the extent not otherwise prohibited under any Loan Document); and (2) all Indebtedness and other payment obligations owed by Frontier or any Guarantor to the Borrowers or any other SPV Party shall not be subordinated or junior in right of payment to, and shall rank pari passu with, any other senior unsubordinated indebtedness or payment obligations of Frontier or such Guarantor, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, in no event will setoff, recoupment or netting apply with respect to amounts due from any Loan Party to the Borrowers (or any other SPV Party) pursuant to the Frontier Intercompany Note or any IP Agreement or with respect to funds such Loan Party has received pursuant to any Frontier Miles Agreement or any Retained Agreement.
(b)    Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Agreement and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the guaranties hereunder and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Collateral Agent, the other Senior Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under the guaranties hereunder at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

148

    



Section 9.05    Discharge of Guaranty.
(a)    In the event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor (other than Parent and the Cayman Guarantors), by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all Capital Stock of any Guarantor (other than Parent and any Cayman Guarantor), in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent or the merger or consolidation of a Guarantor (other than any Cayman Guarantor) with or into Frontier or another Guarantor, in each case, in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the Person acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be automatically released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(b)    Upon the request of Frontier, the guarantee of any Guarantor that is or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary shall be promptly released; provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall result therefrom and (ii) Frontier shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Subsidiary is an Excluded Subsidiary.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver, at the Borrowers’ expense to the extent required by Section 10.04, such documents as any Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of the guaranty of such Guarantor provided herein.
(d)    Each Guarantor will be automatically released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations upon the first date on which all of the Loans and Obligations then due and owing shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the Commitments shall be terminated.

(A)    the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment (I) if the assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, in each case so long as such assignee is an Eligible Assignee and (II) of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.18(b) or 2.26(a); and
(B)    the Borrowers; provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required for an assignment (I) other than with respect to an assignment to any Defaulting Lender, Disqualified Institution or natural person, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), 7.01(f), 7.01(g) or 7.01(o) has occurred and is continuing, (II) if the assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender or (III) of Loans by the Arranger or any of its Affiliates as part of the primary syndication of the Loans (as determined by the Arranger) as previously consented to in writing (including by email) by the Borrowers, in each case so long as such assignee is an Eligible Assignee; provided, further that the Borrowers’ consent to any assignment of Loans will be deemed given with respect to a proposed assignment if no response is received

(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)    any assignment of any portion of the Commitment and Loans shall be made to an Eligible Assignee;
(B)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of such Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, and after giving effect to such assignment, the portion of the Loan or Commitment held by the assigning Lender of the same tranche as the assigned portion of the Loan or Commitment shall not be less than $1,000,000, in each case, unless the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided, that no consent of a Borrower shall be required with respect to such assignment if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further, that any such assignment shall be in increments of $500,000 in excess of the minimum amount described above;
(C)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;
(D)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of [***] (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in any given case) for the account of the Administrative Agent (except in the case of assignments made by or to the Arranger or any of its respective affiliates); and

considered a Defaulting Lender, Disqualified Institution or natural person solely for that particular assignment).
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 10.02, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 10.04). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.02 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 10.02.
(iv)    The Administrative Agent, as agent for the Borrowers, shall maintain at its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower and any Lender (only with respect to such Lender’s Loans), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein no assignment may be made hereunder to any Defaulting Lender, Disqualified Institution or natural person or any of their respective subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (v). Any assignment by a Lender to any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (v) shall be deemed null and void ab initio and the Register shall be modified to reflect a reversal of such assignment, and the Borrowers shall be entitled to pursue any remedy available to it (whether at law or in equity, including specific performance to unwind such assignment) against the Lender and such Person.
(vi)    In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an
153

    



aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Borrowers, Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(c)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire in a form as the Administrative Agent may require (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 10.02 and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 10.02, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04, 8.04 or 10.04(d), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (c).
(d)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than to any Defaulting Lender, Disqualified Institution or natural person) to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (D) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.08(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.02(d), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and the obligations
154

    



under) Sections 2.14 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.02(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to the requirements of Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended, successor or final version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to sell participations under this Agreement to any Defaulting Lender, Disqualified Institution or natural person and any such participation shall be void ab initio, except to the extent that the Borrower has consented to such participation in writing (in which case such Lender will not be considered a Defaulting Lender, Disqualified Institution or natural person solely for that particular participation). Any attempted participation which does not comply with Section 10.02 shall be null and void. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant and shall be subject to the terms of Section 2.18(a). The Lender selling the participation to such Participant shall be subject to the terms of Section 2.18(b) if such Participant requests compensation or additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(f) as though it were a Lender.
(e)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 10.02 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(f)    Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.02, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Loan Parties furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant provides to the
155

    



Administrative Agent its agreement in writing to be bound for the benefit of the Borrowers by either the provisions of Section 10.03 or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 10.03.
    Each Lender making an assignment to a Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such assignment, (1) such Borrower then may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding the Loans or the Loan Parties that is not known to such Lender and that may be material to a decision by such Lender to assign the Loans (“Excluded Information”), (2) such Lender has independently and, without reliance on the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to enter into such assignment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (3) none of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and their respective Affiliates, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender entering into such an assignment further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.
(h)    No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written consent of a Borrower if it would require such Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan under the laws of any jurisdiction, and such Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.
(i)    In connection with any replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.26(a), 10.08(d) or other provision hereof (collectively, a “Replaceable Lender”), if any such Replaceable Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within one (1) Business Day of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such Replaceable Lender, then such Replaceable Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the part of the Replaceable Lender
Section 10.03    Confidentiality. Each Lender and each Agent agrees to keep any information delivered or made available by (or on behalf of) any Loan Party to it confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures, from anyone other than Persons employed or retained by such Lender, Agent or their respective Affiliates who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring, insuring or administering the Loans, and who are advised by such Lender or Agent of the confidential nature of such information; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender or Agent from disclosing such information (a) to any of its Affiliates and its and their respective agents, directors and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential) or to any other Lender (provided that such Lender shall be responsible for such recipient’s compliance with this Section
156

    



10.03), (b) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (c) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority (including any self-regulatory authority), (d) which has been publicly disclosed other than as a result of a disclosure by any Agent or any Lender which is not permitted by this Agreement or other confidentiality obligations owed to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (e) in connection with any litigation to which any Agent, any Lender, or their respective Affiliates may be a party to the extent reasonably required under applicable rules of discovery, (f) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Senior Secured Debt Document, (g) to such Lender’s or Agent’s legal counsel, independent auditors, accountants and other professional advisors, (h) on a confidential basis to (I) any rating agency in connection with rating Parent and its Subsidiaries or any Facility, (II) any direct or indirect provider of credit protection to such Lender or its Affiliates (or its brokers) (other than a Disqualified Institution or any other Person to whom the Borrowers have refused to consent to an assignment) (provided that such Lender shall be responsible for such recipient’s compliance with this Section 10.03) and (III) market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders after the Closing Date and in connection with the administration and management of the Facility (provided that such information is limited to the existence of this Agreement and information about the Facility that is customarily shared for facilities of this type), (i) with the prior consent of the Borrowers, (j) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee of all or part of its rights hereunder (other than a Disqualified Institution or any other Person to whom the Borrowers have refused to consent to an assignment) or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or the legal counsel, independent auditors, accountants and other professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, in each case, subject to the proviso in Section 10.02(f) (with any reference to any assignee or participant set forth in such proviso being deemed to include a reference to such contractual counterparty for purposes of this Section 10.03(j)), (k) to the extent that such information is received by such Lender or Agent from a third party that is not, to such Lender’s or Agent’s knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations to a Borrower or any of its Affiliates, (l) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Lender or Agent and (m) to the extent required, or otherwise contemplated, by this Agreement or any other Senior Secured Debt Document. If any Lender or Agent is in any manner requested or required to disclose any of the information delivered or made available to it by any Loan Party under clause (b) or (e) of this Section 10.03, such Lender or Agent will, to the extent permitted by law, provide the Loan Parties with prompt notice, to the extent reasonable, so that the Loan Parties may seek, at their sole expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy or may waive compliance with this Section 10.03.
Section 10.04    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a)    (i) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay or reimburse:
(1)    all reasonable fees and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary and the Arranger (in the case of legal counsel and other advisors, limited to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of (i) Milbank LLP, special counsel to the Administrative Agent,

(b)    The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (limited in the case of legal fees and expenses, to one (1) outside counsel (and, if necessary, one regulatory counsel and one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, an additional counsel to all such similarly situated affected Indemnitees)) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (including any investigating, preparing
158

    



for or defending any such claims, actions, suits, investigations or proceedings, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which such Indemnitee is a party), whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by any Borrower, its equity holders, its Affiliates, its creditors or any other Person, relating to (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to, or asserted against, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnitee (or any of its Related Parties), be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of funding obligations under this Agreement by, such Indemnitee (or of any of its Related Parties), and in such case such Indemnitee (and its Related Parties) shall repay the applicable Borrower the amount of any expenses previously reimbursed by such Borrower in connection with any such loss, claims, damages, expenses or liability to such Indemnitee and, to the extent not repaid by any of them, such Indemnitee’s Related Parties not a party to this Agreement or (y) result from any proceeding between or among Indemnitees that does not involve an action or omission by any Borrower or its Affiliates (other than claims against any Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an Agent, trustee, and Arranger or any other similar role under the Facility (excluding its role as a Lender)). This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. Neither the Borrowers nor any Indemnitee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages hereunder; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit any Borrower’s indemnity or reimbursement obligations under this Section 10.04 to the extent such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(c)    In case any action or proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Borrowers under the provisions of any Loan Document, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Borrowers in writing and the Borrowers shall, if the Borrowers desire to do so, assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee but only if (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) such action or proceeding does not involve any risk of criminal liability or material risk of material civil money penalties being imposed on such Indemnitee and (iii) the Indemnitees do not notify the Borrowers in writing that they elect to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Borrowers in accordance with the below. The Borrowers shall not enter into any settlement of any action or proceeding unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitees from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such action or proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to fault or culpability. The failure to so notify the Borrowers shall not affect any
159

    



obligations the Borrowers may have to such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents or otherwise other than to the extent that the Borrowers are materially adversely affected by such failure. The Indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such action or proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitees unless: (i) the Borrowers have agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Borrowers have failed to assume the defense of such action or proceeding and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees or (iii) the Indemnitees shall have been advised in writing by counsel that under prevailing ethical standards there may be a conflict between the positions of any Borrower and the Indemnitees in conducting the defense of such action or proceeding or that there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnitees different from or in addition to those available to the Borrowers, in which case, if the Indemnitees notify the Borrowers in writing that they elect to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnitees; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be responsible hereunder for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one such firm of separate counsel for the Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, in addition to any regulatory counsel and any local counsel. The Borrowers shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without the written consent of the Borrowers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(d)    To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10.04, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent such portion of the unpaid amount equal to such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such.
(e)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this clause (e) shall relieve any party of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.
Section 10.05    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a)    This Agreement and any claims, controversy, dispute, or cause of action (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise and whether at law or in equity) based upon, arising out
160

    



of, or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and, unless otherwise specified therein, each other Loan Document shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
(b)    Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise and whether at law or in equity) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise and whether at law or in equity) may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall, to the extent permitted by law, be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(c)    Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 10.05(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(e)    Each of the SPV Parties hereby irrevocably appoints Frontier (in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01) as its true and lawful attorney in fact in its name, place and stead (as well as that of its respective successors and assigns) to accept service of any and all such writs, process and summonses, and agrees that the failure of Frontier to give any notice of any such service of process to it shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon.
Section 10.06    No Waiver. No failure on the part of any Agent or any of the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
Section 10.07    Extension of Maturity. Should any payment of principal of or interest or any other amount due hereunder become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension.
161

    



Section 10.08    Amendments, Etc.
(a)    Except as set forth in Section 2.09 and Section 2.27 or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document (other than any Account Control Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Frontier Security Agreement, each of which may be amended in accordance with its terms), and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (or signed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment shall without the prior consent of:
(i)    each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (A) increase the Commitment of such Lender or extend the termination date of the Commitment of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory repayment required under this Agreement shall not constitute an increase in or extension of the termination date of the Commitment of a Lender), (B) reduce the principal amount or premium, if any, of any Loan, or the rate of interest payable thereon (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary for a waiver of Default Interest referred to in Section 2.08) or (C) extend any scheduled date for the payment of principal, interest or Fees hereunder or to reduce such percentage of any Fees payable hereunder or extend the scheduled final maturity of the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder;
(ii)    all of the Lenders (A) amend or modify any provision of this Agreement which provides for the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders to reduce such percentage or (B) release all or substantially all of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Collateral Document (except to the extent contemplated hereby or by the terms of a Collateral Document), or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors (except to the extent contemplated by Section 9.05);
(iii)    the Instructing Group (A) for the release of liens on Collateral (other than as permitted hereunder or under any Loan Document), (B) to release any guarantees of this Facility (other than as permitted hereunder or under any Loan Document), (other than as permitted under this Agreement), (C) for any shortening or subordinating of term or reduction in liquidated damages under any IP License or (D) subordinate the Loans to any other obligations of the Loan Parties;
(iv)    in connection with an amendment expressly permitted hereunder that addresses solely a repricing transaction in which any Class of Commitments and/or Loans is refinanced with a replacement Class of Commitments and/or Loans bearing (or is modified in such a manner such that the resulting
162

    



Commitments and/or Loans bear) a lower effective yield, any Lender holding Commitments and/or Loans subject to such permitted repricing transaction that will continue as a Lender in respect of the repriced Class of Commitments and/or Loans or modified Class of Commitments and/or Loans;
(v)    the applicable Required Class Lenders in connection with an amendment to Section 2.10, Section 2.17, Section 4.02 or the last paragraph of Section 7.01 that directly and materially adversely affect the rights of Lenders holding Commitments or Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Commitments or Loans of any other Class;
(vi)    all Lenders under any Class, change the application of prepayments as among or between Classes under Section 2.12 which is being allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment as a result thereof (it being understood that if additional Classes of Loans or additional Loans under this Agreement consented to by the Required Lenders or additional Loans permitted hereby are made, such new Loans may be included on a pro rata basis in the various prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.12); and
(vii)    all Lenders, reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Class Lenders” or otherwise amend this Section 10.08 in a manner that has the effect of changing the number or percentage of Lenders that must approve any modification, amendment, waiver or consent;
provided, further, that any Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified with the consent of the applicable Grantor and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, (i) to add assets (or categories of assets) to the Collateral covered by such Collateral Document or (ii) to remove any asset or type or category of asset (including after-acquired assets of that type or category) from the Collateral covered by such Collateral Document to the extent being or having been sold or transferred to the extent the release thereof is permitted by the Loan Documents.
Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, it being understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.
The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or
163

    



other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents (and the Collateral Agent shall rely conclusively on a certificate and/or opinion of counsel to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party, including upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (ii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party (other than the Parent and Frontier Airlines Holdings), upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iii) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Instructing Group, (iv) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor (other than the Parent and Frontier Airlines Holdings), upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee (in accordance with the second following sentence), (v) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents and (vi) if such assets become Excluded Property. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties (other than the Parent and Frontier Airlines Holdings), including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to, promptly execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the Borrowers to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Loan Documents may be amended to (i) add syndication or documentation agents and make customary changes and references related thereto, (ii) if applicable, add or modify “parallel debt” language in any jurisdiction in favor of the Collateral Agents and (iii) make the GoWild! Contribution, in each case under (i), (ii) and (iii), with the consent of only the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and in the case of clause (ii), the applicable Collateral Agent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 10.08) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended to effect an extension facility in accordance with this Section 10.08 or Section 2.28, respectively, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the consent of any other party as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the terms of any such extension facility; (ii) no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or supplement to any Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement that is for the purpose of adding the holders of any Indebtedness as expressly contemplated by the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrowers, are required to effectuate the foregoing); provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend,
164

    



modify or otherwise directly and adversely affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document (which shall include any such amendment or modification to Section 2.10(b)) or under any other Loan Document without its prior written consent; (iii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any exhibit, schedule or other attachment to any Loan Document) may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to (x) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers), (y) effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature and (z) correct or cure any incorrect cross references or similar inaccuracies and such amendment shall be deemed approved by the Lenders if the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of such change and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; and (iv) guarantees, collateral documents and related documents executed by the Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with any other Loan Document, entered into, amended, supplemented or waived, without the consent of any other Person, by the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its or their respective sole discretion, to (A) effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interest therein comply with applicable requirements of law, (B) as required by local law or advice of counsel to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable requirements of law, or (C) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers) or to cause such guarantee, collateral or security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Collateral Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, direct the Collateral Agent, to grant extensions of time for the satisfaction of any of the requirements under Sections 4.03, 5.13, 5.15, 5.18(g) and 5.19(d) and/or any Collateral Documents or Contribution Agreements in respect of any particular Collateral or any particular Subsidiary. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretionary rights or remedies hereunder or give any consent hereunder unless, subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, it shall have been expressly directed to do so in writing as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
(b)    Promptly after execution of any amendment or modification to this Agreement, any Collateral Document or any other Loan Document to which the Collateral Agent is a party, the Borrowers shall provide a copy of such executed amendment or modification to the Collateral Agent, as applicable.
(c)    No notice to or demand on any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each assignee under Section 10.02(b) shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver, or consent
165

    



authorized as provided herein, and any consent by a Lender shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring an interest on the Loans held by such Lender. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective against any Loan Party unless signed by the Borrowers.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.08(a) or elsewhere, (i) in the event that the Borrowers request that (A) this Agreement be modified or amended in a manner which would require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders or all Lenders of a Class or the consent of all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class) directly and adversely affected thereby and, in each case, such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Required Lenders (or at least 50% of the directly and adversely affected Lenders) or Required Class Lenders (or at least 50% of the directly and adversely affected Lenders of such Class) or (B) the maturity of any Class of Loans be extended pursuant to Section 2.28, then the Borrowers may (1) replace any applicable non-consenting Lender (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) or any non-extending Lender (each a “Non-Extending Lender”), as applicable, in accordance with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.02 (and such Non-Consenting Lender or Non-Extending Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effecting such assignment) or (2) repay such Lender on a non pro rata basis; provided that (x) such amendment or modification can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrowers to be made pursuant to this clause (i)) and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender or Non-Extending Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued Fees and all other amounts due and payable to it under this Agreement from the applicable assignee or the Borrowers and (ii) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).
Section 10.09    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.10    Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience only and are not to affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
Section 10.11    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Cash Trap Event or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time
166

    



any credit is extended hereunder. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 10.04, 10.22 and Section 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof, or the resignation or removal of any Agent.
Section 10.12    Execution in Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic .pdf copy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent is not under any obligation to accept an electronic .pdf copy unless expressly agreed to by the Collateral Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it. The Collateral Agent shall not have a duty to inquire into or investigate the authenticity or authorization of any such electronic signature and both shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such electronic signature without any liability with respect thereto. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or any other Loan Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 10.13    USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (for purposes of this Section 10.13, “Applicable Law”), the Collateral Agent is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Collateral Agent. Accordingly, subject to the terms of any binding confidentiality restrictions or limitations imposed by Applicable Law, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent promptly following its reasonable request from time to time such customary and reasonably available identifying information and documentation
167

    



as may be available for such party in order to enable the Collateral Agent to comply with Applicable Law.
Section 10.14    New Value. It is the intention of the parties hereto that any provision of Collateral by a Grantor as a condition to, or in connection with, the making of any Loan hereunder, shall be made as a contemporaneous exchange for new value given by the Lenders to the Borrowers.
Section 10.15    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.15.
Section 10.16    No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise related to the Transactions will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, their stockholders or their affiliates, on the other hand. The parties hereto (other than the Collateral Agent) acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Borrower, its management, stockholders, affiliates, creditors or any other Person. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that such Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender or the Collateral Agent has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
168

    



Section 10.17    CFC or a FSHCO Provisions. Notwithstanding any term of any Loan Document, no loan or other obligation of any Borrower, under any Loan Document, may be, directly or indirectly (including by application of any payments made by or amounts received or recovered from any CFC or FSHCO):
(i)    guaranteed by a CFC or a FSHCO or a Subsidiary of a CFC or FSHCO;
(ii)    secured by any assets of a CFC or FSHCO (including any CFC or FSHCO equity interests held directly or indirectly by a CFC or FSHCO); or

(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 10.20    Certain ERISA Matters.
(a)    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender
169

    



party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, each party to this Agreement, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i)    such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans or this Agreement;
(ii)    the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans and this Agreement; or
(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84- 14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans and this Agreement.
(b)    In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of each party to this Agreement, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, that, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
Section 10.21    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and
170

    



each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
Section 10.22    Limited Recourse; Non-Petition. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other document to which it may be a party, the obligations of each SPV Party from time to time and at any time hereunder are limited recourse obligations of such SPV Party and are payable solely from the assets thereof available at such time and amounts derived therefrom and following realization of the assets of such SPV Party, and application of the Proceeds (as defined in the UCC) (including proceeds of assets upon which a Lien was purported to be granted) thereof in accordance with this Agreement, all obligations of and any remaining claims against such SPV Party hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, administrator or incorporator of the SPV Parties or their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Person may, prior to the date which is one year (or if longer, any applicable preference period) and one day after the Discharge of Senior Secured Debt Obligations, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the SPV Parties any bankruptcy, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium, restructuring or liquidation (including provisional liquidation) proceeding, or other proceedings under Cayman Islands, U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws. Nothing in this Section 10.22 shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, the parties hereto (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (A) any case or insolvency or liquidation proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by any SPV Party or (B) any involuntary insolvency or
171

    



liquidation proceeding filed or commenced by any other Person, or (ii) from commencing against any SPV Party or any of its property any legal action which is not an insolvency, bankruptcy, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, restructuring or liquidation (including provisional liquidation) proceeding. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not (x) prevent recourse to the assets of the SPV Parties (including the Collateral and sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral) or (y) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any Indebtedness or obligation secured hereby until all assets of SPV Parties (including the Collateral and sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral) have been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not limit the right of any Person to name any SPV Party as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy hereunder, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Persons.
Section 10.23    GoWild! Contribution. Within 30 days of the earlier of (a) the aggregate amount of the annual revenues of GoWild! exceed [***] (calculated on last four quarters basis, beginning from July 1, 2024) and (b) the aggregate amount of the annual revenues of GoWild! exceed those of the Discount Den Program (calculated on last four quarters basis, beginning from July 1, 2024), Frontier shall contribute GoWild! to the Collateral, by, including but not limited to, contributing the related Intellectual Property, depositing GoWild! revenues into the Collection Account, designating GoWild! as a “Loyalty Program”, and otherwise incorporating the GoWild! program into the Facility in the same manner as the Loyalty Programs that form part of the Collateral on the Closing Date (the “GoWild! Contribution”).
