Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company” and “Lantheus” refer to Lantheus Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, references to “Holdings” refer to Lantheus Holdings, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries, and references to “LMI” refer to Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc., the direct subsidiary of Holdings. Solely for convenience, the Company refers to trademarks, service marks and trade names without the TM ,  SM  and  ®  symbols. Those references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that the Company will not assert, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, its rights to its trademarks, service marks and trade names.
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lantheus Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2017 or any future period.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2017. Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.
Manufacturing Concentrations
The Company currently relies on Jubilant HollisterStier (“JHS”) as its sole source manufacturer of DEFINITY, Neurolite, Cardiolite and evacuation vials for TechneLite. The Company currently has on-going technology transfer activities for its next generation DEFINITY product with Samsung BioLogics (“SBL”) but can give no assurances as to when those technology transfer activities will be completed and when the Company will actually begin to receive supply of its next generation DEFINITY product from SBL.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following table provides a description of recent accounting pronouncements that could have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements:

  	 	Standard	 	  	 	  	 	Description	 	  	 	  	 	 
Effective Date
for Company
 	 	  	 	  	 	Effect on the Condensed
Consolidated Financial
Statements	 	  	
 	 	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted	 	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	 	ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and related additional amendments ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20	 	 	 	 	 	This ASU and related amendments affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The guidance in this ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also includes a set of disclosure requirements that will provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a reporting organization’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year.
 
The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods:
 
•    A full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or
 
•    A retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures).	 	 	 	 	 	January 1, 2018	 	 	 	 	 	The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2018.	 	 	

 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	 	 	
 	 	Accounting Standards Adopted During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017	 	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	 	ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting	 	 	 	 	 	ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the stock compensation guidance in Topic 718 and other related guidance providing the following amendments:
 
•    Accounting for income taxes upon vesting or exercise of share-based payments and related EPS effects
 
•    Classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows
 
•    Accounting for forfeitures
 
•    Liability classification exception for statutory tax withholding requirements
 
•    Cash flow presentation of employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes
 
•    Elimination of the indefinite deferral in Topic 718.
 
For public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods.	 	 	 	 	 	January 1, 2017	 	 	 	 	 	The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.	 	 	
3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, financial instruments are categorized based on a hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
 
 	•	 	Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.	
 
 	•	 	Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.) and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).	
 
 	•	 	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect a Company’s estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.	
At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of money market funds which are classified as cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash from its operating cash accounts in overnight investments and reflects these amounts in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1).

4. Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full year in addition to discrete events which impact the interim period. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate principally due to the rate impact of uncertain tax positions, valuation allowance changes and state taxes. Cumulative adjustments to the tax provision are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined. The Company’s tax provision was $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Company regularly assesses its ability to realize its deferred tax assets. Assessing the realization of deferred tax assets requires significant management judgment. In determining whether its deferred tax assets are more likely than not realizable, the Company evaluated all available positive and negative evidence, and weighted the evidence based on its objectivity and expected impact. Evidence the Company considered included its history of net operating losses, which resulted in the Company recording a full valuation allowance against its domestic net deferred tax assets beginning in 2011, and in each year thereafter. The Company was profitable on a cumulative basis for the three year period ended March 31, 2017, but substantially all of that profitability was achieved during 2016 and the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
The Company continues to evaluate other negative evidence including customer concentration and contractual risk, the risk of Moly supply availability and cost, DEFINITY supplier risk, and certain product development risks, all of which provide for uncertainties around the Company’s future level of profitability. Based on its review of all available evidence, the Company determined that it has not yet attained a sustained level of profitability sufficient to outweigh the objectively verifiable negative evidence, and has recorded a full valuation allowance against its domestic net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2017. The Company will continue to assess the level of the valuation allowance required. If a sufficient weight of positive evidence exists in future periods to support a release of some or all of the valuation allowance recorded against domestic deferred tax assets, such a release would likely have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations in that future period.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the medical imaging business from Bristol-Myers Squibb (“BMS”) in 2008, the Company entered into a tax indemnification agreement with BMS related to certain tax obligations arising prior to the acquisition of the Company, for which the Company has the primary legal obligation. The tax indemnification receivable is recognized within other long-term assets. The changes in the tax indemnification asset are recognized within other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the change in the tax liability and penalties and interest associated with these obligations (net of any offsetting federal or state benefit) is recognized within the tax provision. Accordingly, as these reserves change, adjustments are included in the tax provision while the offsetting adjustment is included in other income. Assuming that the receivable from BMS continues to be considered recoverable by the Company, there is no net effect on earnings related to these liabilities and no net cash outflows.

Property, plant & equipment dedicated to research and development (“R&D”) activities had a carrying value of $2.7 million as of March 31, 2017. The Company believes these fixed assets will be utilized for either internally funded ongoing R&D activities or R&D activities funded by a strategic partner.
7. Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company considers its legal obligation to remediate its facilities upon a decommissioning of its radioactive-related operations as an asset retirement obligation. The operations of the Company have radioactive production facilities at its North Billerica, Massachusetts and San Juan, Puerto Rico sites.
The Company is required to provide the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Massachusetts Department of Public Health financial assurance demonstrating the Company’s ability to fund the decommissioning of the North Billerica, Massachusetts production facility upon closure, although the Company does not intend to close the facility. The Company has provided this financial assurance in the form of a $28.2 million surety bond.
The fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations is recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. As of March 31, 2017, the liability is measured at the present value of the obligation expected to be incurred, of approximately $26.9 million, and is adjusted in subsequent periods as accretion expense is recorded. The corresponding asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the related long-lived assets and depreciated over the asset’s useful life.
The following table provides a summary of the changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations:

(in thousands)	  	Amount	 	
Balance at January 1, 2017	  	$	9,370	 	
Accretion expense	  	 	260	 	
 	  	 	 	 	
Balance at March 31, 2017	  	$	9,630	 	
 	  	 	 	 	
8. Financing Arrangements
On March 30, 2017, the Company refinanced its previous $365.0 million seven-year term loan agreement (the facility thereunder, the “2015 Term Facility”) with a new five-year $275.0 million term loan facility (the “2017 Term Facility” and the loans thereunder, the “Term Loans”). In addition, the Company replaced its previous $50.0 million five-year asset based loan facility (the “ABL Facility”) with a new $75.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “2017 Revolving Facility” and, together with the 2017 Term Facility, the “2017 Facility”). The terms of the 2017 Facility are set forth in that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Holdings, the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent. The 2017 Term Facility was issued net of a 0.25% discount of $0.7 million. The Company has the right to request an increase to the 2017 Term Facility or request the establishment of one or more new incremental term loan facilities, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million, plus additional amounts, in certain circumstances.

Table of Contents
The net proceeds of the 2017 Term Facility, together with approximately $15.3 million of cash on hand, were used to refinance in full the aggregate remaining principal amount of the loans outstanding under the 2015 Term Facility and pay related interest, transaction fees and expenses. No amounts were outstanding under the ABL Facility at that time. The Company accounted for the refinancing as both a debt extinguishment and debt modification by evaluating the refinancing on a creditor by creditor basis. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.2 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and incurred general and administrative expenses of $1.7 million related to third-party costs associated with the modified debt. In addition, the Company incurred and capitalized $1.6 million of new debt issuance costs related to the refinancing.
2017 Term Facility
The Term Loans under the 2017 Term Facility bear interest, with pricing based from time to time at the Company’s election at (i) LIBOR plus a spread of 4.50% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a spread of 3.50%. Interest is payable (i) with respect to LIBOR Term Loans, at the end of each Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Term Loans, at the end of each quarter. At March 31, 2017, the Company’s interest rate under the 2017 Term Facility was 5.5%.
The Company is permitted to voluntarily prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part, subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium applicable if, during the first 6 months of the 2017 Term Facility, the Company makes any prepayment of the Term Loans in connection with a repricing transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The 2017 Term Facility requires the Company to make mandatory prepayments of the outstanding Term Loans in certain circumstances. The 2017 Term Facility amortizes at 1.00% per year until its June 30, 2022 maturity date.
The Company’s maturities of principal obligations under the 2017 Term Facility are as follows as of March 31, 2017:

(in thousands)	  	Amount

2017 Revolving Facility
Under the terms of the 2017 Revolving Facility, the lenders thereunder agreed to extend credit to the Company from time to time until March 30, 2022 (the “Revolving Termination Date”) consisting of revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans” and, together with the Term Loans, the “Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75.0 million (the “Revolving Commitment”) at any time outstanding. The 2017 Revolving Facility includes a $20.0 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”). The Letters of Credit and the borrowings under the 2017 Revolving Facility are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The Revolving Loans under the 2017 Revolving Facility bear interest, with pricing based from time to time at the Company’s election at (i) LIBOR plus a spread of 3.50% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a spread of 2.50%. The 2017 Revolving Facility also includes an unused line fee, which is set at 0.375% while the Company’s secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and 0.25% when the Company’s secured leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.

Table of Contents
The Company is permitted to voluntarily prepay the Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, or reduce or terminate the Revolving Commitment, in each case, without premium or penalty. On any business day on which the total amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit exceeds the total Revolving Commitment, the Company must prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. As of March 31, 2017, there were no outstanding borrowings under the 2017 Revolving Facility.
2017 Facility Covenants
The 2017 Facility contains a number of affirmative, negative, reporting and financial covenants, in each case subject to certain exceptions and materiality thresholds. The 2017 Facility requires the Company to be in quarterly compliance, measured on a trailing four quarter basis, with a financial covenant. The maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted by the financial covenant is displayed in the table below:
2017 Facility Financial Covenant

Period	  	Consolidated
Leverage Ratio	 	
Q1 2017 through Q1 2018	  	 	5.00 to 1.00	 	
Q2 2018 through Q1 2019	  	 	4.75 to 1.00	 	
Thereafter	  	 	4.50 to 1.00	 	
The 2017 Facility contains usual and customary restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness (ii) create liens; (iii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; (iv) sell certain assets; (v) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments; (vi) make certain investments; (vii) repay subordinated indebtedness prior to stated maturity; and (viii) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates.
Upon an event of default, the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement will have the right to declare the Loans and other obligations outstanding immediately due and payable and all commitments immediately terminated or reduced.
The 2017 Facility is guaranteed by Holdings and Lantheus MI Real Estate, LLC (“LMI-RE”), and obligations under the 2017 Facility are generally secured by first priorities liens over substantially all of the assets of each of LMI, Holdings and LMI-RE owned as of March 30, 2017 or thereafter acquired.

10. Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the potential dilutive effect of other securities if those securities were converted or exercised. During periods in which the Company incurs net losses, both basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation because their effect would be antidilutive.

12. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company has in the past been, and may in the future be, subject to investigations by governmental and regulatory authorities, which expose it to greater risks associated with litigation, regulatory or other proceedings, as a result of which the Company could be required to pay significant fines or penalties. The outcome of litigation, regulatory or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims, actions or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. In addition, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations.
As of March 31, 2017, the Company has no material ongoing litigation in which the Company was a party or any material ongoing regulatory or other proceedings and had no knowledge of any investigations by government or regulatory authorities in which the Company is a target that could have a material adverse effect on its current business.
13. Related Party Transactions
The Company’s largest shareholder, Avista Capital Partners, L.P. and its affiliates (“Avista”), is also a principal owner of certain of the Company’s vendors. Related party expenses consisted of the following:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, prospects and industry estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements identify prospective information and include words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “should,” “could,” “predicts,” “hopes” and similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding: (i) our outlook and expectations including, without limitation, in connection with continued market expansion and penetration for our commercial products, particularly DEFINITY in the face of increased competition; (ii) our outlook and expectations in connection with future performance of Xenon in the face of increased competition; (iii) our outlook and expectations related to products manufactured at Jubilant HollisterStier (“JHS”) and global isotope supply; and (iv) our liquidity, including our belief that our existing cash, cash equivalents, anticipated revenues and availability under our 2017 Revolving Facility are sufficient to fund our existing operating expenses, capital expenditures and liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, such statements are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Such statements are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. The matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not in fact occur. We caution you therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions and the following:
 
 	•	 	Our ability to continue to increase segment penetration for DEFINITY in suboptimal echocardiograms and the segment competition from other echocardiography contrast agents, including Optison from GE Healthcare and Lumason from Bracco Diagnostics Inc. (“Bracco”);

 	•	 	Risks associated with the technology transfer programs to secure production of our products at alternate contract manufacturer sites, including our next generation DEFINITY product at Samsung BioLogics (“SBL”);	
 
 	•	 	Risks associated with the manufacturing and distribution of our products and the regulatory requirements related thereto;	
 
 	•	 	The instability of the global Molybdenum-99 (“Moly”) supply;	
 
 	•	 	The dependence of certain of our customers upon third party healthcare payors and the uncertainty of third party coverage and reimbursement rates;	
 
 	•	 	Uncertainties regarding the impact of on-going U.S. healthcare reform proposals on our business, including related reimbursements for our current and potential future products;	
 
 	•	 	Our being subject to extensive government regulation and our potential inability to comply with those regulations;	
 
 	•	 	Potential liability associated with our marketing and sales practices;	
 
 	•	 	The occurrence of any serious or unanticipated side effects with our products;

Overview
Our Business
We are a global leader in the development, manufacture and commercialization of innovative diagnostic medical imaging agents and products that assist clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and other diseases. Clinicians use our imaging agents and products across a range of imaging modalities, including echocardiography and nuclear imaging. We believe that the resulting improved diagnostic information enables healthcare providers to better detect and characterize, or rule out, disease, potentially achieving improved patient outcomes, reducing patient risk and limiting overall costs for payers and the entire healthcare system.
Our commercial products are used by cardiologists, nuclear physicians, radiologists, internal medicine physicians, technologists and sonographers working in a variety of clinical settings. We sell our products to radiopharmacies, integrated delivery networks, hospitals, clinics and group practices.

Table of Contents
We sell our products globally and have operations in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada and third-party distribution relationships in Europe, Canada, Australia, Asia Pacific and Latin America.
Our Product Portfolio
Our principal products include the following:
 
 	•	 	DEFINITY is an ultrasound contrast agent used in ultrasound exams of the heart, also known as echocardiography exams. DEFINITY contains perflutren-containing lipid microspheres and is indicated in the U.S. for use in patients with suboptimal echocardiograms to assist in imaging the left ventricular chamber and left endocardial border of the heart in ultrasound procedures. We launched DEFINITY in 2001, and in the U.S., its composition of matter patent will expire in 2019 and its manufacturing patent will expire in 2021. In numerous foreign jurisdictions, patent protection or regulatory exclusivity will expire in 2019. We also have an active next generation development program for this agent.	
 
 	•	 	TechneLite is a technetium generator which provides the essential nuclear material used by radiopharmacies to radiolabel Cardiolite, Neurolite and other technetium-based radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine procedures. TechneLite uses Moly as its main active ingredient.	
 
 	•	 	Xenon is a radiopharmaceutical gas that is inhaled and used to assess pulmonary function and also for imaging cerebral blood flow. Xenon is manufactured by a third party and is processed and finished by us.	
Sales of our contrast agent, DEFINITY, are made in the U.S. and Canada through our direct sales team of approximately 80 employees. In the U.S., our nuclear imaging products, including TechneLite, Xenon, Neurolite and Cardiolite, are primarily distributed through commercial radiopharmacies, the majority of which are controlled by or associated with Cardinal, UPPI, GE Healthcare and Triad. A small portion of our nuclear imaging product sales in the U.S. are made through our direct sales force to hospitals and clinics that maintain their own in-house radiopharmaceutical capabilities. Outside the U.S., we own one radiopharmacy in Puerto Rico, where we sell our own products as well as products of third parties to end-users. In January 2016, we sold our Canadian radiopharmacies to Isologic and entered into a supply agreement under which we supply Isologic with certain of our products on commercial terms, including certain product purchase commitments by Isologic. In August 2016, we sold our Australian radiopharmacy servicing business to GMS, and entered into a supply agreement under which we supply GMS with certain of our products on commercial terms, including certain minimum product purchase commitments by GMS. We also maintain our own direct sales force in Canada so that we can control the importation, marketing, distribution and sale of our imaging agents in Canada. In Europe, Australia, Asia Pacific and Latin America, we rely on third party distributors to market, sell and distribute our nuclear imaging and contrast agent products, either on a country-by-country basis or on a multi-country regional basis.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results
Our business and financial performance have been, and continue to be, affected by the following:
Growth of DEFINITY
We believe the market opportunity for our contrast agent, DEFINITY, remains significant. DEFINITY is currently our fastest growing and highest margin commercial product. We believe that DEFINITY sales will continue to grow and that DEFINITY will constitute a greater share of our overall product mix. As we better educate the physician and healthcare provider community about the benefits and risks of this product, we believe we will experience further penetration of suboptimal echocardiograms.
 
16

Table of Contents
The future growth of our DEFINITY sales will be dependent on our ability to continue to increase segment penetration for DEFINITY in suboptimal echocardiograms and, as discussed below in “—Inventory Supply,” on the ability of JHS to continue to manufacture and release DEFINITY on a timely and consistent basis. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—The growth of our business is substantially dependent on increased market penetration for the appropriate use of DEFINITY in suboptimal echocardiograms” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
There are three echocardiography contrast agents approved by the FDA for sale in the U.S.—DEFINITY, which we estimated as having approximately 80% of the U.S. market for contrast agents in echocardiography procedures as of December 31, 2016, Optison from GE Healthcare and Lumason from Bracco.
Competition for Xenon
Xenon gas for lung ventilation diagnosis is our third largest product by revenues. Historically, several companies, including Mallinckrodt Nuclear Imaging, sold packaged Xenon as a pulmonary imaging agent in the U.S., but from 2010 through the first quarter of 2016, we were the only supplier of this imaging agent in the U.S. In March 2016, Mallinckrodt Nuclear Imaging received regulatory approval from the FDA to again sell packaged Xenon in the U.S. and has begun to do so. Depending upon the pricing, extent of availability and market penetration of this offering, we believe we are at risk for volume loss and price erosion for those customers which are not subject to price or volume commitments with us. In order to increase the predictability of our Xenon business, we have entered into Xenon supply agreements with customers at committed volumes and reduced prices. These steps have resulted in predictable Xenon unit volumes. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors —We face potential supply and demand challenges for Xenon” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Inventory Supply
Our products consist of contrast imaging agents and radiopharmaceuticals (including technetium generators). We obtain a substantial portion of our imaging agents from third party suppliers. JHS is currently our sole source manufacturer of DEFINITY, Neurolite, Cardiolite and evacuation vials, the latter being an ancillary component for our TechneLite generators. We are currently seeking approval from certain foreign regulatory authorities for JHS to manufacture certain of our products. Until we receive these approvals, we will face continued limitations on where we can sell those products outside of the U.S.
In addition to JHS, we are also currently working to secure additional alternative suppliers for our key products as part of our ongoing supply chain diversification strategy. We currently have on-going technology transfer activities for our next generation DEFINITY product with SBL, but we cannot give any assurances as to if and when that technology transfer will be completed and when we will actually receive supply of next generation DEFINITY product from SBL. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Our dependence upon third parties for the manufacture and supply of a substantial portion of our products could prevent us from delivering our products to our customers in the required quantities, within the required timeframes, or at all, which could result in order cancellations and decreased revenues” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Radiopharmaceuticals are decaying radioisotopes with half-lives ranging from a few hours to several days. These products cannot be kept in inventory because of their limited shelf lives and are subject to just-in-time manufacturing, processing and distribution, which takes place at our North Billerica, Massachusetts facility.
Global Isotope Supply
We currently have Moly supply agreements with NTP of South Africa and ANSTO of Australia, and with IRE of Belgium, each running through December 31, 2017, and a Xenon supply agreement with IRE which runs through June 30, 2019, subject to extensions.
We believe we are well-positioned with ANSTO, IRE and NTP to have a secure supply of Moly, including low-enriched Moly produced from targets containing less than 20% of Uranium-235 (“LEU Moly”). From November 2016, the NRU reactor transitioned from providing regular supply of medical isotopes to providing only emergency back-up supply of HEU based Moly through March 2018. ANSTO has already significantly increased its Moly production capacity from its existing facility in August 2016 and has under construction, in cooperation with NTP, a new Moly processing facility that ANSTO believes will expand its production capacity, which is expected to be in commercial operation in the first half of 2018. In addition, IRE received approval from its regulator to expand its production capability by up to 50% of its former capacity. The new ANSTO and IRE production capacity is expected to replace and exceed what was the NRU’s most recent routine production.
We are receiving bulk unprocessed Xenon from IRE, which we are processing and finishing for our customers. We believe we are well-positioned to supply Xenon to our customers. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors —We face potential supply and demand challenges for Xenon” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Demand for TechneLite
We believe that due to industry-wide cost containment initiatives that have resulted in a transition of where imaging procedures are performed, from free-standing imaging centers to the hospital setting, the total MPI market has been essentially flat since 2011. Our 2016 sales of TechneLite generators exceeded our expectations because of opportunistic sales when customers could not obtain sufficient generators from other suppliers. We can give no assurances that such opportunistic sales will be replicated in 2017.
In November 2016, CMS announced the 2017 final Medicare payment rules for hospital outpatient settings. Under the final rules, each technetium dose produced from a generator for a diagnostic procedure in a hospital outpatient setting is reimbursed by Medicare at a higher rate if that technetium dose is produced from a generator containing at least 95% LEU Moly. In January 2013, we began to offer a TechneLite generator which contains at least 95% LEU Moly and which satisfies the requirements for reimbursement under this incentive program. Although demand for LEU generators appears to be growing, we do not know when, or if, this incremental reimbursement for LEU Moly generators will result in a material increase in our generator sales.
Research and Development Expenses
To remain a leader in the marketplace, we have historically made substantial investments in new product development. As a result, the positive contributions of those internally funded R&D programs have been a key factor in our historical results and success. On April 25, 2017, we announced entering into a definitive, exclusive Collaboration and License Agreement with GE Healthcare for the continued Phase III development and worldwide commercialization of flurpiridaz F 18. In the future, we may also seek to engage strategic partners for our 18F LMI 1195 and LMI 1174 programs. See Part I, Item 1. “Business—Research and Development—Proposed GE Healthcare Transaction” and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—We may not be able to further develop or commercialize our agents in development without successful strategic partners” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Segments
We report our results of operations in two operating segments: U.S. and International. We generate a greater proportion of our revenue and net income in the U.S. segment, which consists of all regions of the U.S. with the exception of Puerto Rico.
Executive Overview
Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period in 2016 reflect the following:
 
 	•	 	increased revenues and segment penetration for DEFINITY in the suboptimal echocardiogram segment as a result of our continued focused sales efforts;	
 
 	•	 	increased revenues for TechneLite, mainly the result of higher contracted volumes from certain customers;	
 
 	•	 	lower international revenues as a result of the sales of our Canadian and Australian radiopharmacies;	
 
 	•	 	increased depreciation as a result of the scheduled decommissioning of certain long-lived assets; and,	
 
 	•	 	general and administrative expense of $1.7 million incurred in connection with the refinancing of our debt as well as a related $2.2 million loss on the extinguishment of debt during the period.

The increase in U.S. segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to a $6.1 million increase in DEFINITY revenues as a result of higher unit volumes, and a $1.6 million increase in TechneLite revenues primarily as a result of a contract with a significant customer that increased unit volumes. Offsetting these increases was a $0.8 million decrease in Ablavar revenues as the product is no longer sold, as well as a $0.5 million decrease due to rebate and allowance provisions.
The decrease in the International segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to the prior year period, is primarily the result of the sale of the Australian radiopharmacy business, partially offset by a $0.2 million favorable foreign exchange impact.

Rebates and Allowances
Estimates for rebates and allowances represent our estimated obligations under contractual arrangements with third parties. Rebate accruals and allowances are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction to revenue and the establishment of a liability which is included in accrued expenses. These rebates and allowances result from performance-based offers that are primarily based on attaining contractually specified sales volumes and growth, Medicaid rebate programs for our products, administrative fees of group purchasing organizations, royalties and certain distributor related commissions. The calculation of the accrual for these rebates and allowances is based on an estimate of the third party’s buying patterns and the resulting applicable contractual rebate or commission rate(s) to be earned over a contractual period.
An analysis of the amount of, and change in, reserves is summarized as follows:

General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and other related costs for personnel in executive, finance, legal, information technology and human resource functions. Other costs included in general and administrative expenses are professional fees for information technology services, external legal fees, consulting and accounting services as well as bad debt expense, certain facility and insurance costs, including director and officer liability insurance.
The increase in the U.S. segment general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 over the prior year period is primarily due to $1.7 million of debt refinancing costs, higher employee related expenses and higher legal fees.
The decrease in the International segment general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 over the prior year period is primarily due to lower employee headcount and related expenses.

Research and development expenses relate primarily to the development of new products to add to our portfolio and costs related to its medical affairs, medical information and regulatory functions. We do not allocate research and development expenses incurred in the United States to our International segment.
The increase in the U.S. segment research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 over the prior year period is primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense as a result of the scheduled decommissioning of certain long-lived assets associated with research and development operations, partially offset by lower pharmacovigilance expenses due to the transition to a new vendor in the prior year.
The International segment research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were in line with the prior year period.
Gain on Sale of Assets
Effective January 7, 2016, our Canadian subsidiary entered into an asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which it would sell substantially all of the assets of our Canadian radiopharmacies and Gludef manufacturing and distribution business to one of our existing Canadian radiopharmacy customers. The purchase price for the asset sale was $9.0 million in cash, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $5.8 million recorded within operating income during the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, interest expense decreased by $1.6 million as a result of our lower principal balance outstanding on our Term Facility due to required quarterly principal payments and the voluntary principal prepayments we made during September and November 2016.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred a $2.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with the refinancing of our existing indebtedness with the new term loan and revolving credit facilities, see Note 8, “Financing Arrangements” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes for the periods presented is as follows:

$	 	  	Change
%	 	
Provision for income taxes	  	$	785	 	  	$	390	 	  	$	395	 	  	 	101.3	% 	
Our provision for income taxes results primarily from interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, offset by reversals of those positions as statutes lapse or are settled during the year, as well as taxes due in certain foreign jurisdictions where we generate taxable income. The $0.4 million increase in the tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016 primarily reflects the lack of statute lapses and consequent liability releases in the current period, when compared with the prior year period.
We regularly assesses our ability to realize our deferred tax assets. Assessing the realization of deferred tax assets requires significant management judgment. In determining whether our deferred tax assets are more likely than not realizable, we evaluate all available positive and negative evidence, and weigh the evidence based on its objectivity and expected impact. Evidence considered included our history of net operating losses, which resulted in our recording of a full valuation allowance against our domestic net deferred tax assets beginning in 2011, and in each year thereafter. We were profitable on a cumulative basis for the three year period ended March 31, 2017, but substantially all of that profitability was achieved during 2016 and the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Table of Contents
We continue to evaluate other negative evidence, including customer concentration and contractual risk, the risk of Moly supply availability and cost, DEFINITY supplier risk, and certain product development risks, all of which provide for uncertainties around our future level of profitability. Based on our review of all available evidence, we determined that we have not yet attained a sustained level of profitability sufficient to outweigh the objectively verifiable negative evidence, and have recorded a full valuation allowance against our domestic net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2017. We will continue to assess the level of the valuation allowance required. If a sufficient weight of positive evidence exists in future periods to support a release of some or all of the valuation allowance recorded against domestic deferred tax assets, such a release would likely have a material impact on our results of operations in that future period.
Our effective tax rate for the periods presented are as follows:

Net cash used in financing activities	  	$	(11,254	) 	  	$	(944	) 	
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities of $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was driven primarily by net income of $4.1 million plus $6.2 million of depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, $0.9 million of stock-based compensation expense and a $2.2 million loss on debt extinguishment. These net sources of cash were offset by a decrease in cash from working capital. Our working capital decrease was driven primarily by a $3.2 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities due to the payment of prior year annual bonuses, a $3.1 million decrease in accounts receivable due to increases in certain major customer balances, a $2.4 million decrease due to inventory movements during the period, offset by a $1.2 million increase in accounts payable as a result of the timing of payment runs.
Cash provided by operating activities of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was driven primarily by net income of $10.3 million plus $4.1 million of depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, which was offset by the gain on sale of assets of $5.8 million. These net sources of cash were offset by a decrease in cash from working capital. Our working capital decrease was driven primarily by a $4.8 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities due to the payment of prior year annual bonuses, a $2.6 million decrease in accounts receivable due to increases in certain major customer balances, offset by a $2.1 million increase in accounts payable as a result of the timing of payment runs.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 reflected $4.9 million in capital expenditures offset by the cash proceeds of $0.3 million received from the sale of assets from our Australian radiopharmacy business during the third quarter of 2016.
Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to cash proceeds of $9.0 million received from the sale of assets from our Canadian radiopharmacy business, which was offset by $1.7 million in capital expenditures.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 is primarily related to the net outflow of $11.5 million in connection with our refinancing of our previous $365.0 million seven-year term loan agreement with a new five-year $275.0 million term loan facility.
External Sources of Liquidity
On June 30, 2015, we completed our initial public offering, entered into a $365.0 million seven-year term facility (the “2015 Term Facility”) and amended and restated our revolving facility (the “2015 Revolving Facility”) that had a borrowing capacity of $50.0 million. The net proceeds of the 2015 Term Facility and the initial public offering together with available cash were used to repay in full the aggregate principal amount of the $400.0 million of Senior Notes due in 2017 then outstanding, and pay related premiums, interest and expenses and pay down $8.0 million of borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Facility.
In September 2016, we completed a follow-on underwritten offering of 5,200,000 shares of common stock and utilized the net proceeds to us from this offering, combined with cash on hand, to prepay $55.0 million of the principal balance of our 2015 Term Facility. In November 2016, we completed a second follow-on underwritten offering that included 1,000,000 shares of common stock offered by us and utilized the net proceeds to us from this offering, combined with cash on hand, to prepay $20.0 million of the principal balance of our 2015 Term Facility. As of December 31, 2016, the principal balance outstanding on our 2015 Term Facility was $284.5 million.
In March 2017, we refinanced the 2015 Term Facility with a new five-year $275.0 million term loan facility (the “2017 Term Facility” and the loans thereunder, the “Term Loans”). In addition, we replaced our 2015 Revolving Facility with a new $75.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “2017 Revolving Facility” and, together with the 2017 Term Facility, the “2017 Facility”, the terms of which are set forth in the Credit Agreement). The 2017 Term Facility was issued net of a 0.25% discount of $0.7 million. We have the right to request an increase to the 2017 Term Facility or request the establishment of one or more new incremental term loan facilities, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million, plus additional amounts, in certain circumstances.
We used the net proceeds of the 2017 Term Facility, together with approximately $15.3 million of cash on hand, to refinance in full the aggregate remaining principal amount of the loans outstanding under the 2015 Term Facility and pay related interest, transaction fees and expenses. No amounts were outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Facility at that time.
The Term Loans under the 2017 Term Facility bear interest, with pricing based from time to time at our election at (i) LIBOR plus a spread of 4.50% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a spread of 3.50%. Interest is payable (i) with respect to LIBOR Term Loans, at the end of each Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Term Loans, at the end of each quarter. At March 31, 2017, our interest rate under the 2017 Term Facility was 5.5%.
We are permitted to voluntarily prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part, subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium applicable if, during the first 6 months of the 2017 Term Facility, we make any prepayment of the Term Loans in connection with a repricing transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The 2017 Term Facility requires us to make mandatory prepayments of the outstanding Term Loans in certain circumstances. The 2017 Term Facility amortizes at 1.00% per year until its June 30, 2022 maturity date.
Under the terms of the 2017 Revolving Facility, the lenders thereunder agreed to extend credit to us from time to time until March 30, 2022 (the “Revolving Termination Date”) consisting of revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans” and, together with the Term Loans, the “Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75.0 million (the “Revolving Commitment”) at any time outstanding. The 2017 Revolving Facility includes a $20.0 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”). The Letters of Credit and the borrowings under the 2017 Revolving Facility are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The Revolving Loans under the 2017 Revolving Facility bear interest, with pricing based from time to time at our election at (i) LIBOR plus a spread of 3.50% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a spread of 2.50%. The 2017 Revolving Facility also includes an unused line fee, which is set at 0.375% while our secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and 0.25% when our secured leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.
We are permitted to voluntarily prepay the Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, or reduce or terminate the Revolving Commitment, in each case, without premium or penalty. On any business day on which the total amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit exceeds the total Revolving Commitment, we must prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. The 2017 Facility contains a number of affirmative, negative, reporting and financial covenants, in each case subject to certain exceptions and materiality thresholds. The 2017 Facility requires us to be in quarterly compliance, measured on a trailing four quarter basis, with a financial covenant. The maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted by the financial covenant is displayed in the table below:

2017 Facility Financial Covenant

Period	  	Consolidated
Leverage Ratio	 	
Q1 2017 through Q1 2018	  	 	5.00 to 1.00	 	
Q2 2018 through Q1 2019	  	 	4.75 to 1.00	 	
Thereafter	  	 	4.50 to 1.00	 	
The 2017 Facility contains usual and customary restrictions on our ability and that of our subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness (ii) create liens; (iii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; (iv) sell certain assets; (v) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments; (vi) make certain investments; (vii) repay subordinated indebtedness prior to stated maturity; and (viii) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates.
Upon an event of default, the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement will have the right to declare the Loans and other obligations outstanding immediately due and payable and all commitments immediately terminated or reduced.
The 2017 Facility is guaranteed by Holdings and Lantheus MI Real Estate, LLC (“LMI-RE”), and obligations under the 2017 Facility are generally secured by first priorities liens over substantially all of the assets of each of LMI, Holdings and LMI-RE owned as of March 30, 2017 or thereafter acquired.
Our ability to fund our future capital needs will be affected by our ability to continue to generate cash from operations and may be affected by our ability to access the capital markets, money markets, or other sources of funding, as well as the capacity and terms of our financing arrangements.
We may from time to time repurchase or otherwise retire our debt and take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our balance sheet. These actions may include prepayments of our term loans or other retirements or refinancing of outstanding debt, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The amount of debt that may be retired, if any, would be decided at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on market conditions, our cash position and other considerations.
Funding Requirements
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
 
 	•	 	Our ability to have product manufactured and released from JHS and other manufacturing sites in a timely manner in the future;	
 
 	•	 	The pricing environment and the level of product sales of our currently marketed products, particularly DEFINITY and any additional products that we may market in the future;	
 
 	•	 	Revenue mix shifts and associated volume and selling price changes that could result from contractual status changes with key customers and additional competition;	
 
 	•	 	The costs of further commercialization of our existing products, particularly in international markets, including product marketing, sales and distribution and whether we obtain local partners to help share such commercialization costs;	
 
 	•	 	The costs of investing in our facilities, equipment and technology infrastructure;	
 
 	•	 	The costs and timing of establishing manufacturing and supply arrangements for commercial supplies of our products;	
 
 	•	 	The extent to which we acquire or invest in products, businesses and technologies;	
 
 	•	 	The extent to which we choose to establish collaboration, co-promotion, distribution or other similar arrangements for our marketed products;	
 
 	•	 	The legal costs relating to maintaining, expanding and enforcing our intellectual property portfolio, pursuing insurance or other claims and defending against product liability, regulatory compliance or other claims; and	
 
 	•	 	The cost of interest on any additional borrowings which we may incur under our financing arrangements.	
Until we successfully become dual sourced for our principal products, we are vulnerable to future supply shortages. Disruption in the financial performance could also occur if we experience significant adverse changes in customer mix, broad economic downturns, adverse industry or company conditions or catastrophic external events. If we experience one or more of these events in the future, we may be required to implement additional expense reductions, such as a delay or elimination of discretionary spending in all functional areas, as well as scaling back select operating and strategic initiatives.

Table of Contents
If our capital resources become insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we would need to finance our cash needs through public or private equity offerings, assets securitizations, debt financings, sale-leasebacks or other financing or strategic alternatives, to the extent such transactions are permissible under the covenants of the agreements governing our senior secured credit facilities. Additional equity or debt financing, or other transactions, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If any of these transactions require an amendment or waiver under the covenants in the agreements governing our senior secured credit facilities, which could result in additional expenses associated with obtaining the amendment or waiver, we will seek to obtain such a waiver to remain in compliance with those covenants. However, we cannot be assured that such an amendment or waiver would be granted, or that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
At March 31, 2017, our only current committed external source of funds is our borrowing availability under our 2017 Revolving Facility. We had $40.9 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2017. Our 2017 Facility contains a number of affirmative, negative, reporting and financial covenants, in each case subject to certain exceptions and materiality thresholds. Incremental borrowings under the 2017 Revolving Facility may affect our ability to comply with the covenants in the 2017 Facility, including the financial covenant restricting total net leverage. Accordingly, we may be limited in utilizing the full amount of our 2017 Revolving Facility as a source of liquidity.
Based on our current operating plans, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, results of operations and availability under our 2017 Revolving Facility will be sufficient to continue to fund our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, inventory, impairments of long-lived assets including intangible assets, impairments of goodwill, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. In addition, our reported financial condition and results of operations could vary due to a change in the application of a particular accounting standard.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in such policies in the three months ended March 31, 2017. For further information, refer to our summary of significant accounting policies and estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are required to provide the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or NRC, and Massachusetts Department of Public Health financial assurance demonstrating our ability to fund the decommissioning of our North Billerica, Massachusetts production facility upon closure, though we do not intend to close the facility. We have provided this financial assurance in the form of a $28.2 million surety bond.
Since inception, we have not engaged in any other off-balance sheet arrangements, including structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2016.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2017. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of March 31, 2017.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company has in the past been, and may in the future be, subject to investigations by governmental and regulatory authorities, which expose it to greater risks associated with litigation, regulatory or other proceedings, as a result of which the Company could be required to pay significant fines or penalties. The outcome of litigation, regulatory or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims, actions or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company. In addition, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations.
As of March 31, 2017, the Company has no material ongoing litigation in which the Company was a party or any material ongoing regulatory or other proceedings and had no knowledge of any investigations by government or regulatory authorities in which the Company is a target that could have a material adverse effect on its current business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. For further information, refer to Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Repurchases
The following table presents information with respect to purchases of common stock we made during the quarter ending March 31, 2017. The Company does not have a share repurchase program in effect. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, adopted by the Company on June 24, 2015, and amended April 26, 2016 and as further amended on April 27, 2017, provides for the withholding of shares held by employees to satisfy tax obligations. It does not specify a maximum number of shares that can be withheld for this purpose. The shares of common stock withheld to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations may be deemed to be “issuer purchases” of shares that are required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item.

Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a  pro forma  basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in the second paragraph of this  Section 1.3 .

(ii)    with respect to the such Incremental Term Loans that are secured by a Lien on Collateral that is pari passu with the Lien on Collateral securing the Initial Term Facility, the maturity date of such Incremental Term Loan shall be no earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and the weighted average life to maturity of all new Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the then remaining weighted average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans;
(iii)    with respect to the such Incremental Term Loans that (x) are secured by a Lien on Collateral that is junior to the Liens on Collateral securing the Initial Term Facility or (y) are unsecured (A) such Incremental Term Loans shall not require any amortization prior to the date that is ninety-one (91) days following the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and (B) the maturity of such Incremental Term Loan shall be no earlier than ninety-one (91) days following the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date;
(iv)    the all-in-yield applicable to any Incremental Term Loan that is pari passu with respect to security with the Initial Term Loans will be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan and such all-in yield (including in the form of interest rate margins, original issue discount (based on a four (4) year average life to maturity), upfront fees, minimum Eurodollar Rate or minimum Base Rate, but excluding arrangement, commitment, structuring and underwriting fees and any amendment fees paid or payable to the Joint Lead Arrangers (or their affiliates) or the Lenders in their respective capacities as such in connection with any of the existing Facilities or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in their capacities as such applicable to the Initial Term Facility) will not be more than 0.50% higher than the corresponding all-in yield (determined on the same basis) applicable to the Initial Term Facility, unless the interest rate margin with respect to the Initial Term Facility is increased by an amount equal to the difference between the all-in yield with respect to such Incremental Term Facility and the corresponding all-in yield on the Initial Term Facility,  minus  0.50%; and
(v)    the Incremental Term Loans may only be guaranteed by the Guarantors and may only be secured by Liens on Collateral.
The Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Term Joinder ”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them (in the case of the Administrative Agent, to the extent required herein). The Increase Term 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 2.4 . In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Term Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Term Loans that are Term Loans made pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)    Ranking. The Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.4  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 (x) security interests created by the Security Documents and the guarantees of the Guarantors, except that the security interests securing the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments may rank junior to the security interests securing the Term Facilities as set forth in the Increase Term Joinder and pursuant to a Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (y) mandatory prepayments of the Term Facility unless the Borrower and the Lenders in respect of the Incremental Term Facility elect lesser payments, except that the right of payment under the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments may rank junior to the right of payment under the Term Facilities as set forth in the Increase Term Joinder. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such class of Incremental Term Loans or any such Incremental Term Loan Commitments.
2.5    [Reserved].
2.6    Extension of Maturity Date in Respect of Term Facility.

(d)    Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrower shall have the right to replace each Non-Extending Term Lender with, and add as “Term Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “ Additional Term Commitment Lender ”) as provided in  Section 11.6 ;  provided , that each of such Additional Term Commitment Lenders shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Term Commitment Lender shall undertake an Initial Term Commitment (and, if any such Additional Term Commitment Lender is already a Term Lender, its Initial Term Commitment shall be in addition to any other Initial Term Commitment of such Lender hereunder on such date).

The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance (or, amendment, extension or renewal, as applicable) of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
3.9    Fees and Other Charges.

(a)    The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft or other demand for payment paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft or other demand for payment is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft or other demand for payment, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (it being agreed that with respect to a Letter of Credit in a currency other than Dollars, each L/C Participant shall pay the Administrative Agent the applicable amount). The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such amounts to the Issuing Lender.
(b)    If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to  Section 3.10(a)  is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, then such L/C Participant shall pay interest on such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender on demand at a rate per annum equal to the product of (i) such amount,  times  (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to be made to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender,  times  (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to  Section 3.10(a)  is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant by the date that is three (3) Business Days after such payment is due, then the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this  Section 3.10  shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c)    Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its  pro rata  share of such payment in accordance with  Section 3.10(a) , the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such L/C Participant (or in the case of any such amounts received directly by the Issuing Lender, the Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent who in turn will distribute to such L/C Participant) its  pro rata  share thereof;  provided , that in the event that any such payment received by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to it.
3.11    Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent who shall in turn notify the Borrower of the date and amount paid by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft or other demand for payment so paid and (b) any fees, charges or other costs or expenses (other than taxes or similar amounts) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment on the next Business Day following the date on which the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices
 
47

referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft or other demand for payment is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice,  Section 4.5(b)  and (ii) thereafter,  Section 4.5(c) . Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in  clause (i)  or  (ii)  of  Section 9.1(f)  shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case, the procedures specified in  Section 3.10  for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to  Section 3.2  of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Loans could be made, pursuant to  Section 3.2 , if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.
3.12    Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.11 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under  Section 3.11  shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation or a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this  Section 3.12 , constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts other demands for payment or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit
3.13    Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft or other demand for payment shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent who in turn shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date of payment and amount paid by the Issuing Lender in respect thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft or other demand for payment presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft or other demand for payment) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.14    Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply.
3.15    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of  clause (b)(ii)  below will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided , that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
 
48

(b)    If a Revolving Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding L/C Exposure and any outstanding Revolving Percentage of such Defaulting Lender:
(i)    the L/C Exposure and the Revolving Percentage of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders  pro rata  in accordance with their respective Commitments;  provided , that (x) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at the time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), (y) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Extensions of Credit may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (z) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;  provided ,  further , that, (A) for purposes of  clause (x)  in the first proviso above, such reallocation shall be given effect immediately upon the cure or waiver of such Event of Default and subject to  clauses (y)  and  (z)  above and (B) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender to the extent the L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender cannot be reallocated as provided in this  clause (i) ; and
(ii)    any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to  Section 9  or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to  Section 11.7(b)  shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:
first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender hereunder;

The payment amount specified in such notice to such Group Member shall be due and payable by such Group Member on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with  clause (vi)  below (subject to  clause (c)  below).
(v)    In connection with any Discounted Loan Prepayment, the relevant Group Member and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Loan Prepayment, the payment of reasonable customary fees and expenses from such Group Member in connection therewith.
(vi)    If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with clauses (ii) through (iv) above, the relevant Group Member shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The relevant Group Member shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata  basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The aggregate principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the tranches of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Loan Prepayment.
(vii)    To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this  Section 4.1(b) , established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the relevant Group Member.
(viii)    Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 4.1(b), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication;  provided , that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.
(ix)    The relevant Group Member and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this  Section 4.1(b)  by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consent to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 4.1(b)  as well as activities of the Auction Agent.
(c)    The relevant Group Member shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by such Group Member to make any prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this  Section 4.1(b)  shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under  Section 9.1 ).
(d)    Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, in the event that, on or prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower (x) makes any prepayment of Initial Term
 
58

Loans pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or 4.2(a) in connection with any Repricing Transaction, or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Term Lender, (I) in the case of  clause (x) , a prepayment premium of 1% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans being prepaid and (II) in the case of  clause (y) , a payment equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Initial Term Loans subject to such amendment.
4.2    Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)    If any Indebtedness shall be incurred or issued by any Group Member after the Closing Date (other than Excluded Indebtedness), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such incurrence or issuance toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in  Section 4.2(e) .
(b)    If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $3,000,000 in any fiscal year from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(e) ;  provided , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in  Section 4.2(e) .
(c)    The Borrower shall, on each Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the ECF Percentage of the excess, if any, of (i) Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Flow Payment Period  minus  (ii) Voluntary Prepayments made during such Excess Cash Flow Payment Period or, at the option of the Borrower, on or prior such Excess Cash Flow Application Date, toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in  Section 4.2(e) . Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “ Excess Cash Flow Application Date ”) no later than ten (10) days after the date on which the financial statements referred to in  Section 7.1(a)  for the fiscal year of the Borrower with respect to which such prepayment is made are required to be delivered to the Lenders.
(d)    [reserved].
(e)    Unless any Increase Term Joinder or any other amendment governing any Incremental Term Loans, any Replacement Term Loans and/or any term loans provided by an Extending Term Lender provides that Incremental Term Loans, Replacement Term Loans or such term loans provided by an Extending Term Lender, as applicable, shall participate on a less than pro rata basis with the Initial Term Loans in connection with prepayments pursuant to this  Section 4.2 , each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this  Section 4.2  shall be applied on a pro rata basis between the Initial Term Loans and each Additional Term Facility then outstanding based on the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans under each such Term Facility then outstanding ( provided , that any prepayment of Term Loans with the net proceeds of an Incremental Term Facility or Replacement Term Loans incurred for the purpose of refinancing or replacing such Term Loans shall be applied to the Term Loans of the applicable Term Facility being refinanced or replaced). With respect to Term Loans under any Term Facility, amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this  Section 4.2  shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans of such Term Facility as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of direction from the Borrower, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Term Loans of such Term Facility in direct order of maturity), and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Term Lenders of such class in accordance with  Section 4.8  and  first , to Base Rate Loans and,  second , to Eurodollar Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to  Section 4.11 . Each prepayment of the Term Loans under this  Section 4.2  shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.
(f)    Each Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant  Sections 4.2(b)  or  (c) , to decline all (but not a portion) of its share of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “ Declined Proceeds ”), in which case such Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower;  provided , that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made under  Section 4.2(a)  above to the extent that such prepayment is made with the Net Cash Proceeds of any Permitted Refinancing
 
59

incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to decline receipt of its share of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s share of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.
(g)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that (and for so long as) the repatriation to the Borrower as a distribution or dividend of any amounts required to mandatorily prepay the Term Loans pursuant to  Sections 4.2(b)  or  (c)  above that are attributable to any Foreign Subsidiary are (i) prohibited or delayed by applicable local Requirements of Law from being repatriated to the jurisdiction of organization of the Borrower or (ii) would result in a material and adverse Tax liability (including any withholding Tax) (such amount, a “ Restricted Amount ”), the calculation of Net Cash Proceeds and/or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, shall be reduced by such Restricted Amount;  provided , that once such repatriation of any such affected Net Cash Proceeds and/or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, is (x) permitted under the applicable local Requirements of Law and/or (y) would no longer result in such material and adverse Tax liability, the Group Members shall be treated as having received Net Cash Proceeds and/or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, equal to the amount of such reduction.
4.3    Conversion and Continuation Options.
(a)    The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date;  provided , that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third (3 rd ) Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor);  provided , that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
(b)    Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in  Section 1.1 , of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans;  provided , that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; and  provided ,  further , that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
4.4    Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $500,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the then outstanding amount of the Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of a conversion, Base Rate Loans) to be borrowed, converted or continued) and (b) no more than five (5) Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.
4.5    Interest Rates and Payment Dates.
(a)    Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)    Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
 
60

(c)    If an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, such overdue amounts shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section  plus  2.00%, (ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the non-default rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility  plus  2.00% and (iii) in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the non-default rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility  plus 2.00%, in each case, from the date of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is no longer continuing.
(d)    Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and as provided in Section 3.11; provided, that interest accruing pursuant to  clause (c)  of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “ Maximum Rate ”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
4.6    Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a)    Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b)    Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, promptly deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to  Section 4.6(a) .
4.7    Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(a)    the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or
(b)    the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as reasonably determined and conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter but at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest
 
61

Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to withdraw promptly upon a determination that the condition or situation which gave rise to such notice no longer exists), no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.
4.8    Pro Rata Treatment; Application of Payments; Payments.
(a)    Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction in the Commitments of the Lenders under the applicable Facility shall be made  pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.
(b)    Except as provided in Section 4.2(e), each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans under any Term Facility shall be made  pro rata  according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders under such Term Facility. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans under the relevant Term Facility made pursuant to  Section 4.1(a)  shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans under such Term Facility as specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans made pursuant to  Section 4.2  shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity.
(c)    Each payment on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans under any Revolving Facility shall be made  pro rata  according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders under such Revolving Facility.
(d)    All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(e)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.
 
62

(f)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective  pro rata  shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 4.8 (i) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require or permit differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and (ii) shall not restrict any transactions permitted by  Section 4.1(b)  or  11.6 , or any “amend and extend” transactions.
4.9    Requirements of Law.
(a)    If the adoption of, taking effect of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the administration, interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender or Issuing Lender with any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (and, for purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and adopted subsequent to the date hereof):
(A)    shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or Issuing Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder;
(B)    shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Lender (or its applicable lending office) any additional Tax (other than any Indemnified Taxes indemnified under  Section 4.10  or any Excluded Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender or Issuing Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; or
(C)    shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b)    If any Lender or Issuing Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of, taking effect of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (and, for purposes of this Agreement,
 
63

(i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and adopted subsequent to the date hereof) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
(c)    A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation;  provided , that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;  provided ,  further , that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Borrower shall pay the Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any certificate referred to above within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.
4.10    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Indemnified Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall (except to the extent required by law) be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes;  provided , that if any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any sum paid or payable by any Loan Party under any of the Loan Documents, then (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this  Section 4.10 ), the Lender or the applicable Agent (in the case of payments being made to such Agent for its own account), as the case may be, receives on the due date a net amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of clause (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)    Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Agent or Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this  Section 4.10 ) imposed on or payable by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability delivered by a Lender (with a copy to the relevant Agent), or by an Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
64

(d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this  Section 4.10 , the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(e)    Status of Lenders. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, whenever reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (a) to determine whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (b) to determine, if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (c) to establish such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding Tax purposes in an applicable jurisdiction. If any form, certification or other documentation provided by a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.10(e)  (including any of the specific documentation described below) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing and shall promptly update or otherwise correct the affected documentation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing that such Lender is not legally eligible to do so. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this  Section 4.10(e) .
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)    Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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 request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.
(B)    Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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 request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two duly completed and executed originals of whichever of the following is applicable:
(i)    IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(ii)    IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto),
(iii)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 881(c) or 871(h) of the Code (the “ Portfolio Interest Exemption ”), (x) a certificate, substantially in the form of  Exhibit Q-1 ,  Q-2 ,  Q-3  or  Q-4 , as applicable (a “ Tax Status Certificate ”) and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto),
(iv)    where such Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender has sold a participation), IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) and all required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the Portfolio Interest Exemption, a Tax Status Certificate of such beneficial owner(s) ( provided , that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, the Tax Status Certificate from the direct or indirect partner(s) may be provided by the Foreign Lender on behalf of the direct or indirect partner(s)), or

SECTION 10. THE AGENTS
10.1    Appointment.
(a)    Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each Agent as the agent of such Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) irrevocably authorizes such Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other
 
99

powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or other Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.
(b)    Each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocable designates and appoints JPMorgan as collateral agent of such Secured Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Secured Party irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf as are necessary or advisable with respect to the Collateral under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment.
10.2    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
10.3    Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Hedge Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Hedge Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Hedge Agreement or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Specified Hedge Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
10.4    Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Administrative Agent shall deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans and all other Secured Parties.
10.5    Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
 
100

Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Secured Parties.
10.6    Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender or any other Secured Party. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any other Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
10.7    Indemnification. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.5  to be paid by it to any Agent Related Party (or any sub-agent thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent Related Party (or any such sub-agent thereof) such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;  provided , that (a) the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against any Agent Related Party (or any such sub-agent thereof) and (b) no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense that is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this  Section 10.7  shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.8    Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letters of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender,” “Lenders,” “Secured Party” and “Secured Parties” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
10.9    Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, respectively, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under  Section 9.1(a)  or  Section 9.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall
 
101

mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date that is ten (10) Business Days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation as Administrative Agent or retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation as Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this  Section 10  shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
10.10    Agents Generally. The Joint Lead Arrangers shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.
10.11    Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents, the Specified Hedge Agreements or the Specified Cash Management Agreements (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceeds, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent;  provided , that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Lender from filing proofs of claim during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any bankruptcy or other debtor relief law.
10.12    Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law (as determined in good faith by the Agent), an Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties, additions to Tax or interest thereon, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agent. The agreements in this  Section 10.12  shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 10.12 , the term “Lender” shall include the Issuing Lender.

102

(i)    the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the consent of the Required Lenders) shall be required for any waiver, amendment or modification that forgives the principal amount or extends the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extends the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduces the stated rate of any interest or forgives or reduces any interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates, which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders), extends the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increases the amount or extends the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment;  provided , that neither any amendment, modification or waiver of a mandatory prepayment required hereunder, nor any amendment of  Section 4.2  or any related definitions, including Asset Sale, Excess Cash Flow, or Recovery Event, shall constitute a reduction of the amount of, or an extension of the scheduled date of, any principal installment of any Loan or Note or other amendment, modification or supplement to which this  clause (i ) is applicable; and
(ii)    no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall, without the consent of all Lenders:
(A)    eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.1 without the written consent of such Lender;

103

(iii)    no such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall, without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, amend, modify or waive  Section 6.2  if the effect of such amendment, modification or waiver is to require the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans when such Revolving Lenders would not otherwise be required to do so.
In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position 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; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans (“ Refinanced Term Loans ”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (“ Replacement Term Loans ”);  provided . that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans plus accrued interest, fees and expenses related thereto, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.
If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all (or all affected) Lenders (including all Lenders under a single Facility), the consent of the Required Lenders (or Majority Facility Lenders, as the case may be) is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a “ Non-Consenting Lender ”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Administrative Agent or a Person reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right but not the obligation to purchase at par from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Term Loans and Revolving Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Term Loans and/or outstanding Revolving Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Assumption. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower may replace any Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to  Section 4.13 .
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated), modified or supplemented with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender, (b) to add one or more additional credit facilities with respect to Incremental Term Loans to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, as applicable, and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (c) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders;  provided , that the conditions set forth in Section 2.4  are satisfied.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Majority Facility Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period);  provided ,
 
104

that, subject to the limitations set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 11.1, any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

In addition, the Borrower agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Agents in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.
(c)    THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, “ ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES ”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET.
The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent
 
106

for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “ Borrower Materials ”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “ Public Lender ”). The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a reasonable opportunity to review any information proposed to be distributed to the Lenders and, if the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent that any such information should be not be distributed to Public Lenders, then the Administrative Agent will not post such information on that portion of the Platform designated for such Public Lenders unless the Borrower otherwise consents. The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) unless clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor”, (y) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws and (z) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents and (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Facility.
Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates nor the Administrative Agent has any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
11.3    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
11.4    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding and so long as the Commitments of any Lender have not been terminated.

Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this  Section 11.5  shall be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer, at the address of the Borrower set forth in  Section 11.2 , or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this  Section 11.5  shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and each of the Borrower and each Indemnitee does hereby waive, any claim against any party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, exemplary, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided , that the foregoing shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Borrower under  clause (a)  above. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages are
 
108

found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of any Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its controlled affiliates, officers or employees acting on behalf of such Indemnitee or any of its controlled affiliates in connection with the Transactions.
(c)    The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee.
11.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder, except (w) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of  Section 11.6(b) , (x) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of  Section 11.6(e) , (y) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of  Section 11.6(g)  or (z) to an Affiliated Lender in accordance with the provisions of  Section 11.6(h)  (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors as assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in  Section 11.6(e)  and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided , that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (in the case of the Term Facility) and $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Facility), in each case, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);  provided , that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under  Section 9.1(a)  or  (f)  has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)    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 with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches of Loans (if any) on a non- pro rata  basis;
(iii)    no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i) of this Section and, in addition, the consent of:
(A)    the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default under  Section 9.1(a)  or  (f)  has
 
109

occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is in respect of the Term Facility and is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;  provided , that, in each case, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; and
(B)    the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) the Term Facility if such assignment is to an Assignee that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (y) the Revolving Facility if such assignment is to an Assignee that is not a Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and
(C)    in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment, the Issuing Lender;
(iv)    except in the case of assignments pursuant to clause (c) below, the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided, that such fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire;
(v)    no assignment shall be permitted to be made to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, except pursuant to  Section 4.1(b) ;
(vi)    no assignment shall be permitted to be made to a natural person;
(vii)    no assignment shall be permitted to be made to a Disqualified Institution; and
(viii)    assignments to Affiliates of the Borrower shall be subject to clause (h) below.
Except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (d) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 4.9 ,  4.10 ,  4.11  and  11.5 ;  provided , with respect to such  Section 4.10 , that such Lender continues to comply with the requirements of  Sections 4.10  and  4.10(e) ). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this  Section 11.6  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 Section 11.6(e) .
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as such) shall have no liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Institution. In addition, the Loan Parties acknowledge that the Administrative Agent may upon the request of a Lender provide the list of Disqualified Institutions to such Lender.
If any assignment or participation under this Section 11.6 is made to any Disqualified Institution, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower
 
110

owing to such Disqualified Institution, (B) in the case of any outstanding Term Loans, purchase such Term Loans by paying the lesser of (x) par and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans, in the case of  clauses (x)  and  (y) , plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees an all other amounts payable to it hereunder;  provided , that, such Term Loans shall be automatically and permanently canceled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 11.6 ), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more eligible Assignees;  provided , that, (I) in the case of  clause (B) , the applicable Disqualified Institution has received payment of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) par and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid for the applicable Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Borrower, and (II) in the case of  clause (C) , the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this  Section 11.6  (except that no registration and processing fee required under this  Section 11.6  shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph). Nothing in this  Section 11.6  shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that Holdings or the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.6 to the contrary, a Lender may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender without (a) providing any notice (including, without limitation, any administrative questionnaire) to the Administrative Agent or any other Person or (b) delivering an executed Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent;  provided , that (A) such assigning Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (B) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender in connection with such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement until an Assignment and Assumption and an administrative questionnaire have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, (C) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver an Assignment and Assumption or administrative questionnaire to the Administrative Agent or any other Person shall not affect the legality, validity or binding effect of such assignment and (D) an Assignment and Assumption between an assigning Lender and its Affiliate or Approved Fund shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Assumption.
(d)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest owing with respect to the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). Subject to the penultimate sentence of this  clause (d) , the entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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. In the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund pursuant to  clause (c) , as to which an Assignment and Assumption and an administrative questionnaire are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register (a “ Related Party Register ”) comparable to the Register on behalf of the Borrower. The Register or Related Party Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any Lender (with respect to the Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest owing with respect to the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to such Lender only) at the Administrative Agent’s office at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Except as otherwise provided in clause (c)  above, upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in  Section 11.6(b)(iv)  and any written consent to such assignment required by  Section 11.6(b) , the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. Except as otherwise provided in  clause (c)  above, no assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register (or, in the case of an assignment pursuant to  clause (c)  above, the applicable Related Party Register) as provided in this  clause (d) . The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “ Assignment Effective Date .”
(e)    Any Lender may, at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations 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 Commitments and the
 
111

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) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 and (D) no participation shall be permitted to be made to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor any officer or director of any such Person or a natural person or Disqualified Institution (which list of Disqualified Institutions shall be made available upon request). 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 the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;  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 that requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of  Section 11.1 . Subject to  clause (f)  of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of  Sections 4.9 ,  4.10  and  4.11  to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements and obligations of those sections and  Section 4.12  and  4.13 , and it being understood that the documentation required under  Section 4.10(e)  shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to  clause (b)  of this Section. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of  Section 11.7(b)  as though it were a Lender;  provided , that such Participant shall be subject to  Section 11.7(a)  as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code 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 (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligation under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(f)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.9 or 4.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such Participant’s entitlement to a greater payment results from a change in Requirements of Law occurring after the sale of such participation.
(g)    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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, any central bank or any other Person, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest or to any such sale or securitization;  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.
(h)    Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliated Lender subject to the following limitations:
(i)    Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section 2 ;
(ii)    any purchase by an Affiliated Lender shall require that such Affiliated Lender clearly identify itself as an Affiliated Lender in any Assignment and Assumption executed in connection with such purchase or sale and each such Assignment and Assumption shall contain customary “big boy” representations but no requirement to make representations as to the absence of any material nonpublic information;
 
112

(iii)    Affiliated Lenders may not purchase Revolving Loans by assignment pursuant to this Section 11.6; and
(iv)    the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 11.6 and held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 25% of the original principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding.
(i)    Each Affiliated Lender that is not a Debt Fund Affiliate, in connection with any (i) consent (or decision not to consent) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document, (ii) other action on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) direction to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, agrees that, except with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action described in clause (i) of the first proviso of  Section 11.1  or that adversely affects such Affiliated Lender in any respect as compared to other Lenders, shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in such proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders. The Borrower and each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that if a case under Title 11 of the United States Code is commenced against the Borrower, the Borrower, with respect to any plan of reorganization that does not adversely affect any Affiliated Lender in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, shall seek (and each Affiliated Lender shall consent) to designate the vote of any Affiliated Lender and the vote of any Affiliated Lender with respect to any such plan of reorganization of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower shall not be counted. Each Affiliated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this  clause (i) .
11.7    Sharing of Payments; Set-off.
(a)    Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “ Benefited Lender ”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall become due and payable pursuant to  Section 9 , receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in  Section 9.1(f) , or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders;  provided , however , that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a director creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation to the extent provided in clause (b) of this  Section 11.7 .
(b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, subject to Section 10.11, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which is continuing, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender;  provided , that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
 
113

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require or permit differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.
11.8    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic mail (in “.pdf” or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
11.9    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement 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 provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise 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 such Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties 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, 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 Loan Party, 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 Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party 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 Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.

(c)    no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.
11.14    Releases of Guarantees and Liens.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Secured Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party except as expressly required by  Section 11.1 ) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral or Guarantee Obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any sale, transfer, or exclusive license contemplated by  clause (j)  of the definition of the term “Excluded Asset” (other than a sale or transfer to a Loan Party) not prohibited by any Loan Document (including, without limitation, (A) the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder and (B) the release of any Collateral to the extent such Collateral becomes an Excluded Asset) or that has been consented to in accordance with  Section 11.1 ;  provided , that no such release shall occur if (x) such Subsidiary Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any Junior Financing or Incremental Facility or (y) such Collateral continues to secure any Junior Financing or Incremental Facility or (ii) under the circumstances described in  clause (b)  below.
(b)    At such time as (i) the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) shall have been paid in full or Cash Collateralized and (ii) the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (or shall have been Cash Collateralized or backstopped to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Bank), the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person. At such time, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary, at the cost of the Borrower, to effect each release described in this  Section 11.14  in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any disclosure of any non-public information be made to Person that is a Disqualified Institution at the time of disclosure.
11.16    WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY 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 THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.16 .
