4.Conditions Subsequent. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds by a Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with any 2025 Specified Disposition (upon closing of such disposition or to the extent repayment of principal pursuant to a 2025 Disposition Seller Note) Borrower shall (i) prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds (for the avoidance of doubt, (x) Net Cash Proceeds shall not include any interest received by the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries paid in connection with the 2025 Disposition Seller Note or retained revenue amounts in connection with the 2025 Specified Dispositions and (y) Net Cash Proceeds may be reduced by the amount of any deductions set forth in the definition of “Net Cash Proceeds” that were previously incurred in connection with the 2025 Specified Dispositions but not applied to a prior prepayment (including due to the amount of a prior prepayment being less than zero) received on such date, (ii) make a payment equal to the Applicable Prepayment Premium on the principal amounts repaid pursuant to clause (i) above as if such Applicable Prepayment Premium was otherwise due as of such date and (iii) pay accrued and outstanding interest on the principal amounts repaid pursuant to clause (i) above as of such date. Borrower shall provide notice of any principal prepayment described in the foregoing sentence in accordance with Section 2.05(g) of the Credit Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if the reference therein to “Section 2.05(c)” were a reference to this Section 4 of this Amendment and any such principal prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loans (including the final payment of the Term Loans on the Final Maturity Date) in the inverse order of maturity. Failure to make such payments on the dates specified in this paragraph shall be an automatic Event of Default.
5.Continued Effectiveness of the Financing Agreement and Other Loan Documents. Each Loan Party hereby (i) acknowledges and consents to this Amendment, (ii) confirms and agrees that the Financing Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that on and after the Ninth Amendment Effective Date all references in the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document to “Financing Agreement”, the “Agreement”, “thereto”, “thereof”, “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Financing Agreement shall mean the Financing Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and (iii) confirms and agrees that to the extent that the Financing Agreement or any such other Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, or to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a security interest in or Lien on, any Collateral as security for the Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations, as the case may be, of any Loan Party from time to time existing in respect of the Financing Agreement (as amended hereby) and the other Loan Documents, such pledge, assignment and/or grant of the security interest or Lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects as of the date hereof. This Amendment does not and shall not affect any of the obligations of any Loan Party, other than as expressly provided herein, including, without limitation, the Borrowers’ obligation to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of Financing Agreement, or the obligations of any other Loan Party under any Loan Document to which it is a party, all of which obligations shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agents or any Lender under the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document.
6.Reaffirmation of Loan Parties. Each Loan Party hereby reaffirms its obligations under the Financing Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party as of the date hereof. Each Loan Party hereby further ratifies and reaffirms as of the date hereof the validity and enforceability of all of the Liens and security interests heretofore granted by it, pursuant to and in connection with the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Agents, on behalf and for the benefit of the Agents and each Lender, as collateral security for the obligations under the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms, and acknowledges that all of such liens and security interests, and all collateral heretofore pledged by it as security for such obligations, continues to be and remain collateral for such obligations. Although each of the Guarantors have been informed of the matters set forth herein and have acknowledged and agreed to same, each of the Guarantors understands that the Agents and the Lenders shall have no obligation to inform the Guarantors of such matters in the future or to seek the Guarantors’ acknowledgement or agreement to future amendments, waivers, or modifications, and nothing herein shall create such a duty.
(a)This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment. Any party may request in writing that parties delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by electronic mail also deliver an original executed counterpart of this Amendment but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Amendment 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.
(b)Section and paragraph headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.
(c)THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(d)This Amendment constitutes a “Loan Document” under the Financing Agreement.
(e)Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(f)The Borrowers will pay (or cause to be paid) promptly upon receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor, all reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment in accordance with and pursuant to Section 12.04 of the Financing Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of (x) Paul Hastings LLP, counsel to the Lenders and (y) Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, counsel to the Agents.
(g)By its execution hereof, each of the Lenders party hereto, constituting the Required Lenders party to the Financing Agreement both before and after giving effect to the transaction contemplated hereby, hereby (i) authorizes and directs each Agent to (x) execute and deliver this Amendment and (y) perform its obligations hereunder, including under Section 7 hereof and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that (x) the authorization and direction in this Section 6(g) constitutes an authorization and direction from the Required Lenders under the provisions of Article X of the Financing Agreement and (y) Article X (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Sections 10.03 and 10.05 thereof) of the Financing Agreement shall apply to any and all actions taken by either Agent in accordance with such direction.
