Percentage:

  

The “Applicable Percentage” shall mean, with respect to any Fixed Rate Incremental Tranche B-1 Term Loan and Daily Rate Incremental Tranche B-1 Term Loan, at any time,

 

(i) if the U.S. Borrower has Investment Grade Status at such time, the applicable percentage set forth in the “Ratings-based Grid” below under the caption “Fixed Rate Spread Incremental Tranche B-1 Term Loans” or “Daily Rate Spread Incremental Tranche B-1 Term Loans”, as the case may be, based upon the Credit Rating as of the relevant date of determination, and (ii) if the U.S. Borrower does not have Investment Grade Status at such time, the applicable percentage set forth in the “Leverage-based Grid” below under the caption “Fixed Rate Spread Incremental Tranche B-1 Term Loans” or “Daily Rate Spread Incremental Tranche B-1 Term Loans”, as the case may be, based upon the Leverage Ratio as of the relevant date of determination. Each change in the Applicable Percentage resulting from a change in the Leverage Ratio shall be effective with respect to all applicable Incremental Tranche B-1 Term Loans outstanding on and after the date of delivery to the Administrative Agent of the financial statements and certificates required by Section 5.04(a) or (b) and Section 5.04(c), respectively, of the Credit Agreement indicating such change until the date immediately preceding the next date of delivery of such financial statements and certificates indicating another such change.

 

For purposes of the foregoing, (x) if the Credit Ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s, Fitch and S&P shall fall within different Categories, the Applicable Percentage shall be based on the Category in which the highest rating falls unless the two highest ratings differ by two or more Categories, in which case the Applicable Percentage shall be based on the Category one level below the Category in which the


  

highest rating falls and (y) if the Credit Ratings established or deemed to have been established by S&P, Fitch or Moody’s shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of S&P, Fitch or Moody’s), such change shall be effective on the earlier of the date on which such change is publicly announced and the date on which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives written notice of such change. Each change in the Applicable Percentage shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change.

 

If the rating system of S&P, Fitch or Moody’s shall change, or if any rating agency shall cease to be in the business of providing issuer or long-term debt ratings, as the case may be, the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Percentage shall be determined by reference to the rating of the other rating agencies (or, if the circumstances referred to in this sentence shall affect two or more such rating agencies, the ratings most recently in effect prior to such changes or cessations).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time (a) during which Holdings has failed to deliver the financial statements and certificates required by Section 5.04(a) or (b) and Section 5.04(c), respectively, of the Credit Agreement the Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be in the next highest Category (from the then-existing Category) for purposes of determining the Applicable Percentages and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be in Category 1 for purposes of determining the Applicable Percentages and Investment Grade Status shall be deemed not to exist.

Prepayment

Premium:

  

If, on or prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, a Repricing Transaction (as defined below) occurs, the U.S. Borrower will pay a premium in an amount equal to (i) during the first year following the Effective Date, 2% of the principal amount of outstanding Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans subject to any Repricing Transaction and (ii) during the second year following the Effective Date, 1% of the principal amount of outstanding Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans subject to any Repricing Transaction.

 

As used herein, “Repricing Transaction” shall mean (a) the incurrence by the U.S. Borrower of any seven-year term loans (including, without limitation, any new or additional term loans under the Credit Agreement, whether incurred directly or by way of the conversion of Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans into a new class of replacement term loans under the Credit Agreement) that are broadly marketed or syndicated to banks, financial institutions and/or other institutional lenders or investors in financings similar to the Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans provided for in the Credit Agreement (i) having an Effective Yield (as defined below) for the respective indebtedness that is less than the Effective Yield for the Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans, but excluding debt incurred in connection with a Change in Control (or transaction that if


  

consummated would constitute a Change in Control) or Transformative Acquisition (as defined below) and (ii) the proceeds of which are used to prepay (or, in the case of a conversion, deemed to prepay or replace), in whole or in part, outstanding principal of Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans or (b) any effective reduction in the Effective Yield for the Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans (e.g., by way of amendment, waiver or otherwise), except for a reduction in connection with a Change in Control (or transaction that if consummated would constitute a Change in Control) or Transformative Acquisition and, in the case of any transaction under either clause (a) or clause (b) above, the primary purpose of which is to lower the Effective Yield on the Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans.

 

As used herein, “Effective Yield” shall mean, as to any indebtedness, the effective yield on such indebtedness as determined by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent in a manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices, taking into account the applicable interest rate margins, any interest rate “floors” (the effect of which floors shall be determined in a manner set forth in the proviso below and assuming that, if interest on such indebtedness is calculated on the basis of a floating rate, that the “LIBOR” component of such formula is included in the calculation of Effective Yield) or similar devices and all fees, including upfront or similar fees or OID (amortized over the shorter of (x) the remaining weighted average life to maturity of such indebtedness and (y) the four years following the date of incurrence thereof) payable generally by the U.S. Borrower to lenders or other institutions providing such indebtedness, but excluding any arrangement fees, structuring fees, or other similar fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant lenders and, if applicable, ticking fees accruing prior to the funding of such indebtedness and customary consent fees for an amendment paid generally to consenting lenders; provided that, with respect to any indebtedness that includes a “floor”, (a) to the extent that the Fixed Rate or Alternate Base Rate (without giving effect to any floors in such definitions), as applicable, on the date that the Effective Yield is being calculated is less than such floor, the amount of such difference shall be deemed added to the interest rate margin for such indebtedness for the purpose of calculating the Effective Yield and (b) to the extent that the Fixed Rate or Alternate Base Rate (without giving effect to any floors in such definitions), as applicable, on the date that the Effective Yield is being calculated is greater than such floor, then the floor shall be disregarded in calculating the Effective Yield.

 

As used herein, “Transformative Acquisition” shall mean any acquisition by Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any other Subsidiary that (i) is not permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition or (ii) if permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition, would not provide Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the other Subsidiaries with adequate flexibility under the Loan Documents for the continuation and/or expansion of their combined operations following such consummation, as determined by the U.S.


   Borrower acting in good faith.
Upfront Fees:   

An upfront fee (the “B-2 Upfront Fee”) will be payable by the U.S. Borrower on the Effective Date to each Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Lender.

 

The B-2 Upfront Fee will be paid on the actual allocated amount of the Incremental Tranche B-2 Commitment held by each Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Lender on the Effective Date (such Lender’s “B-2 Committed Amount”) based on the percentage set forth below.

For purposes of Section 2.11(a)(iii) of the Credit Agreement, the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Lenders, (i) on the last Business Day of each quarter (commencing with the last Business Day of the first full quarter to occur after the B-2 Funding Date), a principal amount of the Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.11(d), 2.12, 2.13(f) and 2.26(d) of the Credit Agreement) equal to .625%, 1.25%, 1.25%, 1.875%, 2.5%, 2.5% and 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans outstanding on the B-2 Funding Date, in each of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh years following the Effective Date respectively and (ii) on the Incremental Tranche B-2 Maturity Date, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans outstanding on such date. All payments of principal made pursuant to this paragraph shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

Future Incremental Term Loans:   

Section 2.26 of the Credit Agreement shall apply for the benefit of the Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans as if the Incremental Tranche B-2 Term Loans were the Tranche A Loans referred to therein.
