FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2021
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Throughout this Current Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refers to FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company prepared the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation. These adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals and estimates that impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. These financial statements were prepared using information reasonably available as of March 31, 2021 and through the date of this Report. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to the uncertainty around the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors.
Foreign Currency Translation        
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at period-end. The related translation adjustments are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net income. The Company recognized foreign exchange (losses) gains, which are recorded within other (income) expense, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31 as follows (in millions):

Foreign currency losses on long-term intra-entity transactions$(66.3)$(164.1)
Derivatives
The Company uses derivatives to minimize its exposures related to changes in interest rates and to facilitate cross-currency corporate payments by writing derivatives to customers.
The Company is exposed to the risk of changing interest rates because its borrowings are subject to variable interest rates. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company utilizes derivative instruments. Interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments
6


over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company hedges a portion of its variable rate debt utilizing derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded to the derivative assets/liabilities and offset against accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Derivative fair value changes that are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged item affects earnings, to the extent the derivative is effective in offsetting the change in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The portions of the change in fair value that are either considered ineffective or are excluded from the measure of effectiveness are recognized immediately within earnings.
In the Company's cross-border payments business, the majority of revenue is from exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enables customers to make cross-currency payments. In addition, the Company writes foreign currency forward and option contracts for its customers to facilitate future payments. The duration of these derivative contracts at inception is generally less than one year. The Company aggregates its foreign exchange exposures arising from customer contracts, including forwards, options and spot exchanges of currency, as necessary, and economically hedges the net currency risks by entering into offsetting derivatives with established financial institution counterparties. The changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in revenues, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company recognizes current cross-border payments derivatives in prepaid expense and other current assets and other current liabilities and derivatives greater than one year in other assets and other noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value. All cash flows associated with derivatives are included in cash flows from operating activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Refer to Note 13.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
Cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represents customer deposits repayable on demand, as well as collateral received from customers for cross-currency transactions in our cross-border payments business, which are restricted from use other than to repay customer deposits, as well as secure and settle cross-currency transactions.
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses
The Company accounts for financial assets' expected credit losses in accordance with ASC 326. The Company’s financial assets subject to credit losses are primarily trade receivables. The Company utilizes a combination of aging and loss-rate methods to develop an estimate of current expected credit losses, depending on the nature and risk profile of the underlying asset pool, based on product, size of customer and historical losses. Expected credit losses are estimated based upon an assessment of risk characteristics, historical payment experience, and the age of outstanding receivables, adjusted for forward-looking economic conditions. The allowances for remaining financial assets measured at amortized cost basis are evaluated based on underlying financial condition, credit history, and current and forecast economic conditions. The estimation process for expected credit losses includes consideration of qualitative and quantitative risk factors associated with the age of asset balances, expected timing of payment, contract terms and conditions, changes in specific customer risk profiles or mix of customers, geographic risk, economic trends and relevant environmental factors.
Revenue
The Company provides payment solutions to our business, merchant, consumer and payment network customers. Our payment solutions are primarily focused on specific commercial spend categories, including Corporate Payments, Fuel, Lodging, Tolls, as well as Gift (stored value cards and e-cards). The Company provides solutions that help businesses of all sizes control, simplify and secure payment of various domestic and cross-border payables using specialized payment solutions. The Company also provides other payment solutions for fleet maintenance, employee benefits and long haul transportation-related services. Revenues from contracts with customers, within the scope of ASC 606, represent approximately 75% of total consolidated revenues, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company accounts for revenues comprised of late fees and finance charges, in jurisdictions where permitted under local regulations, primarily in the U.S. and Canada in accordance with ASC 310, "Receivables". Such fees are recognized net of a provision for estimated uncollectible amounts, at the time the fees and finance charges are assessed and services are provided. The Company also writes foreign currency forward and option contracts for its customers to facilitate future payments in foreign currencies, and recognizes revenue in accordance with authoritative fair value and derivatives accounting (ASC 815, "Derivatives").

Contract Liabilities
Deferred revenue contract liabilities for customers subject to ASC 606 were $66.7 million and $73.0 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We expect to recognize approximately $41.7 million of these amounts in revenues within 12 months and the remaining $25.0 million over the next five years as of March 31, 2021. Revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2021 that was included in the deferred revenue contract liability as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $18.1 million.
Spot Trade Offsetting
The Company uses spot trades to facilitate cross-currency corporate payments in its cross-border payments business. In accordance with ASC Subtopic 210-20, "Offsetting," the Company applies offsetting to spot trade assets and liabilities associated with contracts that include master netting agreements, as a right of setoff exists, which the Company believes to be enforceable. As such, the Company has netted spot trade liabilities against spot trade receivables at the counter-party level. The Company recognizes all spot trade assets, net in accounts receivable and all spot trade liabilities, net in accounts payable, each net at the customer level, in its Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value. The following table presents the Company’s spot trade assets and liabilities at their fair value at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in millions):

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Income Taxes
On December 18, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740 and simplifies other areas. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Pending Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standard
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) ("ASU 2020-04"), which provides optional expedients and exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022 for which an entity has elected certain optional expedients and are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this update also include a general principle that permits an entity to consider contract modifications due to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. If elected, the optional expedients for contract modifications must be applied consistently for all eligible contracts or eligible transactions within the relevant ASC Topic or Industry Subtopic that contains the guidance that otherwise would be required to be applied. The amendments in this update were effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the effect of ASU 2020-04 on interest rate swap contracts. Cross currency derivatives are not impacted by this ASU.
2. Accounts and Other Receivables
The Company's accounts and securitized accounts receivable include the following at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):
March 31, 2021December 31, 2020
Gross domestic accounts receivable$844,760 $719,675 
Gross domestic securitized accounts receivable915,000 700,000 
Gross foreign receivables833,766 733,986 
Total gross receivables2,593,526 2,153,661 
Less allowance for credit losses(87,902)(86,886)
Net accounts and securitized accounts receivable$2,505,624 $2,066,775 
The Company maintains a $1 billion revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the "Securitization Facility"). Accounts receivable collateralized within our Securitization Facility primarily relate to trade receivables resulting from charge card activity in the U.S. Pursuant to the terms of the Securitization Facility, the Company transfers certain of its domestic receivables, on a revolving basis, to FLEETCOR Funding LLC (Funding), a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary. In turn, Funding transfers, without recourse, on a revolving basis, an undivided ownership interest in this pool of accounts receivable to multi-seller banks and asset-backed commercial paper conduits (Conduit). Funding maintains a subordinated interest, in the form of over-collateralization, in a portion of the receivables sold. Purchases by the Conduit are financed with the sale of highly-rated commercial paper.
The Company utilizes proceeds from the transferred assets as an alternative to other forms of financing to reduce its overall borrowing costs. The Company has agreed to continue servicing the sold receivables for the financial institution at market rates, which approximates the Company’s cost of servicing. The Company retains a residual interest in the transferred asset as a form of credit enhancement. The residual interest’s fair value approximates carrying value due to its short-term nature. Funding determines the level of funding achieved by the sale of trade accounts receivable, subject to a maximum amount.
9


The Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Income reflect the activity related to securitized accounts receivable and the corresponding securitized debt, including interest income, fees generated from late payments, provision for losses on accounts receivable and interest expense. The cash flows from borrowings and repayments associated with the securitized debt are presented as cash flows from financing activities. On March 29, 2021 the Company entered into the eighth amendment to the Securitization Facility. The amendment included a new three year maturity date, reduced the LIBOR floor to 0 bps, improved margins, and increased the swing line from $100 million to $250 million. The maturity date for the Company's Securitization Facility is March 29, 2024.
The Company recorded a $90.1 million provision for credit losses and write-off related to a customer receivable in our foreign currency trading business during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company's estimated expected credit losses as of March 31, 2021 included estimated adjustments for economic conditions related to COVID-19. A rollforward of the Company’s allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable for the three months ended March 31 is as follows (in thousands):

3. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is a market-based measurement that reflects assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. GAAP discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
As the basis for evaluating such inputs, a three-tier value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company has highly-liquid investments classified as cash equivalents, with original maturities of 90 days or less, included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company utilizes Level 2 fair value determinations derived from directly or indirectly observable (market based) information to determine the fair value of these highly liquid investments. The Company has certain cash and cash equivalents that are invested on an overnight basis in repurchase agreements, money markets and certificates of deposit. The value of overnight repurchase agreements is determined based upon the quoted market prices for the treasury securities associated with the repurchase agreements. The value of money market instruments is determined based upon the financial institutions' month-end statement, as these instruments are not tradable and must be settled directly by us with the respective financial institution. Certificates of deposit are valued at cost, plus interest accrued. Given the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value. Foreign exchange derivative contracts are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the Company's derivatives is derived with reference to a valuation from a derivatives dealer operating in an active market, which approximates the fair value of these instruments. The fair value represents the net settlement if the contracts were terminated as of the reporting date. Cash collateral received for foreign exchange derivatives is recorded within customer deposits in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2021. Cash collateral deposited for foreign exchange derivatives is recorded within restricted cash in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2021.
The level within the fair value hierarchy and the measurement technique are reviewed quarterly. Transfers between levels are deemed to have occurred at the end of the quarter. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the periods presented for March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis or are evaluated with periodic testing for impairment include property, plant and equipment, investments, goodwill and other intangible assets. Estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are generally developed using key inputs such as
11


management’s projections of cash flows on a held-and-used basis (if applicable), discounted as appropriate, management’s projections of cash flows upon disposition and discount rates. Accordingly, these fair value measurements are in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
For derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. The Company formally assesses, both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument's change in fair value is immediately recognized into earnings. The Company determines the fair values of its derivatives based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. 
The Company determines the fair values of its derivatives based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. The amounts exchanged are calculated by reference to the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates or other financial indices. The Company's derivatives are over-the-counter instruments with liquid markets.
The Company regularly evaluates the carrying value of its investments. The carrying amount of investments without readily determinable fair values is $11.9 million at March 31, 2021.
The fair value of the Company’s accounts receivable, securitized accounts receivable and related facility, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits and short-term borrowings approximate their respective carrying values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s debt obligations approximates fair value as the interest rates on the debt are variable market based interest rates that reset on a quarterly basis. These are each Level 2 fair value measurements.
4. Stockholders' Equity

The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved a stock repurchase program (as updated from time to time, the "Program") authorizing the Company to repurchase its common stock from time to time until February 1, 2023. On October 22, 2020, the Board increased the aggregate size of the Program by $1 billion, to $4.1 billion. Since the beginning of the Program, 15,257,675 shares have been repurchased for an aggregate purchase price of $3.3 billion, leaving the Company up to $836.3 million available under the Program for future repurchases in shares of its common stock.
Any stock repurchases may be made at times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate. The timing and amount of stock repurchases, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including the stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, and any additional constraints related to material inside information the Company may possess. Any repurchases have been and are expected to be funded by a combination of available cash flow from the business, working capital and debt.
5. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which permits the Company’s Board of Directors to grant share based payment awards to employees and directors.

 ______________________
(a)The Company has a Credit Agreement that provides for senior secured credit facilities (collectively, the "Credit Facility") consisting of a revolving credit facility in the amount of $1.285 billion, a term loan A facility in the amount of $3.225 billion and a term loan B facility in the amount of $350 million as of March 31, 2021. The revolving credit facility consists of (a) a revolving A credit facility in the amount of $800 million, with sublimits for letters of credit and swing line loans, (b) a revolving B facility in the amount of $450 million with borrowings in U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds, Japanese yen or other currency as agreed in advance, and a sublimit for swing line loans, and (c) a revolving C facility in the amount of $35 million for borrowings in U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars. The Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature for borrowing an additional $750 million in term loan A, term loan B, revolving A or revolving B facility debt and an unlimited amount when the leverage ratio on a pro-forma basis is less than 3.00 to 1.00. Proceeds from the credit facilities may be used for working capital purposes, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes. The maturity date for the term loan A and revolving facilities is December 19, 2023. As of March 31, 2021, the maturity date for the term loan B was August 2, 2024. On April 30, 2021, the Company entered into the ninth amendment to the Credit Agreement. The amendment provided for a new seven-year $1.15 billion term
16


loan B. The existing term loan B was paid off with proceeds from the new term loan B. The new term loan B has a maturity date of April 30, 2028, and interest rates remain unchanged.
Interest on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement (other than the term loan B) accrues based on the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (the "Eurocurrency Rate"), plus a margin based on a leverage ratio, or at our option, the Base Rate (defined as the rate equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%) plus a margin based on a leverage ratio. Interest on the term loan B facility accrues based on the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.75% for Eurocurrency Loans or the Base Rate plus 0.75% for Base Rate Loans. The Eurocurrency rate has a 0% floor. In addition, the Company pays a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% of the daily unused portion of the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2021, the interest rate on the term loan A was 1.61%, the interest rate on the term loan B was 1.86%, and the interest rate on the revolving A facility was 1.61%. The unused credit facility fee was 0.30% at March 31, 2021.
(b)The Company is party to a $1.0 billion Securitization Facility. On April 24, 2020, the Company reduced the Securitization Facility commitment from $1.2 billion to $1.0 billion. There is a program fee equal to one month LIBOR plus 1.00% or the Commercial Paper Rate plus 0.90% as of March 31, 2021, and one month LIBOR plus 1.25% or the Commercial Paper Rate plus 1.15% as of December 31, 2020. There is a LIBOR floor of 0% as of March 31, 2021 and a LIBOR floor of 0.38% as of December 31, 2020. The program fee was 0.98% plus 0.13% as of March 31, 2021 and 1.23% plus 0.34% as of December 31, 2020. The unused facility fee is payable at a rate of 0.40% per annum as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. We have unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.8 million and $1.4 million related to the Securitization Facility as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, recorded within other assets in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. On March 29, 2021, the Company entered into the eighth amendment to the Securitization Facility. The amendment included a new three year maturity date, reduced the LIBOR floor to 0 bps, improved margins, and increased the swing line from $100 million to $250 million. The maturity date for the Company's Securitization Facility is March 29, 2024.
(c)Other debt includes the long-term portion of deferred payments associated with business acquisitions and deferred revenue.
The Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants at March 31, 2021. The Company has entered into interest rate swap cash flow contracts with U.S. dollar notional amounts in order to reduce the variability of cash flows in the previously unhedged interest payments associated with $2.0 billion of variable rate debt. Refer to Note 13 for further details.

9. Income Taxes
The Company's tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, makes a cumulative adjustment. The Company's quarterly tax provision and quarterly estimate of the annual effective tax rate are subject to significant variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting the pre-tax and taxable income and loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate. Additionally, the Company's effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss. For example, the impact of discrete items and non-deductible expenses on our effective tax rate is greater when our pre-tax income is lower.
The provision for income taxes differs from amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal tax rate of 21% for 2021 and 2020 to income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 due to the following (in thousands):

10. Earnings Per Share
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution related to equity-based incentives using the treasury stock method. The calculation and reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Diluted earnings per share for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 excludes the effect of 0.1 million of common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of employee stock options because such effect would be anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share also excludes the effect of 0.2 million and 0.1 million shares of performance based restricted stock for which the performance criteria have not yet been achieved for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

11. Segments
The Company reports information about its operating segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance related to segments. We manage and report our operating results through three operating and reportable segments defined by geographic regions: North America, Brazil and International, which aligns with how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) allocates resources, assesses performance and reviews financial information.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending or threatened legal actions, arbitration proceedings, claims, subpoenas, and matters relating to compliance with laws and regulations (collectively, "legal proceedings").  Based on our current knowledge, management presently does not believe that the liabilities arising from these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition for any particular period.
Derivative Lawsuits
On July 10, 2017, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (“Federal Derivative Action”) seeking recovery on behalf of the Company. The Federal Derivative Action alleges that the defendants issued a false and misleading proxy statement in violation of the federal securities laws; that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing or permitting the Company to make allegedly false and misleading public statements concerning the Company’s fee charges, and financial and business prospects; and that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties through allegedly improper sales of stock. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the Company, corporate governance reforms, disgorgement of profits, benefits and compensation by the defendants, restitution, costs, and attorneys’ and experts’ fees. On September 20, 2018, the court entered an order deferring the Federal Derivative Action pending a ruling on motions for summary judgment in the shareholder class action, notice a settlement has been reached in the shareholder class action, or until otherwise agreed to by the parties. After preliminary approval of the proposed settlement of the shareholder class action was granted, the stay on the Federal Derivative Action was lifted. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on February 22, 2020. FLEETCOR filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the Federal Derivative Action on April 17, 2020, which the

court granted without leave to amend on October 21, 2020. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on November 18, 2020. The appeal is pending.

On January 9, 2019, a similar shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia (“State Derivative Action”), which was stayed pending a ruling on motions for summary judgment in the shareholder class action, notice a settlement has been reached in the shareholder class action, or until otherwise agreed by the parties. On the parties’ joint motion, the court has continued the stay of the State Derivative Action “pending further developments in the first-filed Federal Derivative Action.” The defendants dispute the allegations in the derivative complaints and intend to vigorously defend against the claims.
FTC Investigation
In October 2017, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) issued a Notice of Civil Investigative Demand to the Company for the production of documentation and a request for responses to written interrogatories. After discussions with the Company, the FTC proposed in October 2019 to resolve potential claims relating to the Company’s advertising and marketing practices, principally in its U.S. direct fuel card business within its North American Fuel Card business. The parties reached impasse primarily related to what the Company believes are unreasonable demands for redress made by the FTC.

On December 20, 2019, the FTC filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Georgia against the Company and Ron Clarke. See FTC v. FLEETCOR and Ronald F. Clarke, No. 19-cv-05727 (N.D. Ga.). The complaint alleges the Company and Clarke violated the FTC Act’s prohibitions on unfair and deceptive acts and practices. The complaint seeks among other things injunctive relief, consumer redress, and costs of suit. The Company continues to believe that the FTC’s claims are without merit. On April 17, 2021, the FTC filed a motion for summary judgment. On April 22, 2021, the United States Supreme Court held unanimously in AMG Capital Management v. FTC that the FTC does not have authority under current law to seek monetary redress by means of Section 13(b) of the FTC Act, which is the means by which the FTC has sought such redress in this case. FLEETCOR’s response to the FTC’s motion for summary judgment and any cross-motion for summary judgment is due to be filed on May 17, 2021. The Company has incurred and continues to incur legal and other fees related to this complaint. Any settlement of this matter, or defense against the lawsuit, could involve costs to the Company, including legal fees, redress, penalties, and remediation expenses. At this time, in view of the complexity and ongoing nature of the matter, we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss that we may incur to settle this matter or defend against the lawsuit brought by the FTC.
13. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Foreign Currency Derivatives
The Company uses derivatives to facilitate cross-currency corporate payments by writing derivatives within its cross-border solution. The Company writes derivatives, primarily foreign currency forward contracts, and option contracts, mostly with small and medium size enterprises that are customers, and derives a currency spread from this activity.
Derivative transactions associated with the Company's cross-border solution include:
Forward contracts, which are commitments to buy or sell at a future date a currency at a contract price and will be settled in cash.
Option contracts, which gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell within a specified time a currency at a contracted price that may be settled in cash.
Swap contracts, which are commitments to settlement in cash at a future date or dates, usually on an overnight basis.

The credit risk inherent in derivative agreements represents the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. Concentrations of credit and performance risk may exist with counterparties, which includes customers and banking partners, as we are engaged in similar activities with similar economic characteristics related to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The Company performs a review of the credit risk of these counterparties at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis. The Company also monitors the concentration of its contracts with any individual counterparty against limits at the individual counterparty level. The Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements, but takes action when doubt arises about the counterparties' ability to perform. These actions may include requiring customers to post or increase collateral, and for all counterparties, if the counterparty does not perform under the term of the contract, the contract may be terminated. The Company does not designate any of its foreign exchange derivatives as hedging instruments in accordance with ASC 815.

For derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. The Company formally assesses, both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in cash flows of the related
20


underlying exposures. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
The aggregate equivalent U.S. dollar notional amount of foreign exchange derivative customer contracts held by the Company as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in millions) is presented in the table below.

The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities associated with contracts, which include netting terms that the Company believes to be enforceable, have been recorded net within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company receives cash from customers as collateral for trade exposures, which is recorded within cash and cash equivalents and customer deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The customer has the right to recall their collateral in the event exposures move in their favor, they perform on all outstanding contracts and have no outstanding amounts due to the Company, or they cease to do business with the Company. The Company has trading lines with several banks, most of which require collateral to be posted if certain MTM thresholds are exceeded. Cash collateral posted with banks is recorded within restricted cash and can be recalled in the event that exposures move in the company’s favor or move below the collateral posting thresholds. The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral. The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities, as well as their classification on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in millions).

The Company receives cash from customers as collateral for trade exposures, which is recorded within restricted cash and customer deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Cash Flow Hedges
On January 22, 2019, the Company entered into three interest rate swap cash flow contracts (the "swap contracts"). The objective of these swap contracts is to reduce the variability of cash flows in the previously unhedged interest payments associated with $2.0 billion of variable rate debt, the sole source of which is due to changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that qualify as hedging instruments and are designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (in millions):
  Notional AmountFixed RatesMaturity Date

Interest Rate Swap   500 2.56%1/31/2023
Interest Rate Swap   500 2.55%12/19/2023

For each of these swap contracts, the Company pays a fixed monthly rate and receives one month LIBOR.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those described in Item 1A "Risk Factors" appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. All foreign currency amounts that have been converted into U.S. dollars in this discussion are based on the exchange rate as reported by Oanda for the applicable periods.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations generally discusses the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, with period-over-period comparisons between these periods. A detailed discussion of 2020 items and period-over-period comparisons between the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 that are not included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q can be found in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part I, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Executive Overview
FLEETCOR is a leading global provider of digital payment solutions that enables businesses to control purchases and make payments more effectively and efficiently. Since its incorporation in 2000, FLEETCOR has continued to deliver on its mission: to provide businesses with “a better way to pay”. FLEETCOR has been a member of the S&P 500 since 2018 and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker FLT.
As previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, businesses spend an estimated $170 trillion each year. In many instances, they lack the proper tools to monitor what is being purchased, and employ manual, paper-based, disparate processes and methods to both approve and make payments for their purchases. This often results in wasted time and money due to unnecessary or unauthorized spending, fraud, receipt collection, data input and consolidation, report generation, reimbursement processing, account reconciliations, employee disciplinary actions, and more.
FLEETCOR’s vision is that every payment is digital, every purchase is controlled, and every related decision is informed. Digital payments are faster and more secure than paper-based methods such as checks, and provide timely and detailed data which can be utilized to effectively reduce unauthorized purchases and fraud, automate data entry and reporting, and eliminate reimbursement processes. Combining this payment data with analytical tools delivers powerful insights, which managers can use to better run their businesses. Our wide range of modern, digitized solutions generally provides control, reporting, and automation benefits superior to many of the payment methods businesses often used, such as cash, paper checks, general purpose credit cards, as well as employee pay and reclaim processes.
Our revenue is generally reported net of the cost for underlying products and services purchased through our payment solutions. In this report, we refer to this net revenue as “revenue". See “Results of Operations” for additional segment information.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The pandemic and these containment and mitigation measures have created adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies and it is unclear whether or how long the pandemic and related economic impacts will continue, whether as a result of new strains of the virus or otherwise. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our results of operations and liquidity; the operations of our suppliers, vendors and customers; and on our employees as a result of quarantines, facility closures, travel and logistics restrictions and general decreases in the level of consumer confidence and business activity.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact various aspects of the world economy and our customers, in particular, by restricting day-to-day operations and business activity generally. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business operations, financial results, and liquidity through the remainder of 2021 will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict or assess, including the duration and scope of the pandemic and the geographies most affected; vaccine availability globally, distribution, efficacy to new strains of the virus and the public's willingness to get vaccinated; our response to the continued impact of the pandemic; the negative impact it has on global and regional economies and general economic activity, including the duration and magnitude of its impact on unemployment rates and business spending levels; its short- and longer-term impact on the levels of consumer confidence; the ability of our suppliers, vendors and customers to successfully address the continued impacts of the pandemic; and actions governments, businesses and individuals take in response to the pandemic; and how quickly economies recover after the pandemic subsides. While we believe the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have an adverse effect on our revenues and earnings in 2021, we expect continued improvement throughout the year as economic activity recovers.

Sources of Revenue
FLEETCOR offers a variety of business payment solutions that help to simplify, automate, secure, digitize and effectively control the way businesses manage and pay their expenses. We provide our payment solutions to our business, merchant, consumer and payment network customers in more than 100 countries around the world today, although we operate primarily in 3 geographies, with 86% of our business in the U.S., Brazil, and the U.K. Our customers may include commercial businesses (obtained through direct and indirect channels), partners for whom we manage payment programs, as well as individual consumers.
FLEETCOR has three reportable segments, North America, International, and Brazil. We report these three segments as they reflect how we organize and manage our global employee base, manage operating performance, contemplate the differing regulatory environments across geographies, and help us isolate the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on our financial results. However, to help facilitate an understanding of our expansive range of solutions around the world, we describe them in two categories: Corporate Payments solutions, which simplify and automate payments, and Expense Management solutions, which help control and monitor employee spending.
Our Corporate Payments solutions are designed to help businesses streamline the back-office operations associated with making outgoing payments. Companies save time, cut costs, and manage B2B payment processing more efficiently with our suite of corporate payment solutions, including accounts payable (AP) automation, virtual cards, cross-border, and purchasing and T&E cards. Our Expense Management solutions (Fuel, Tolls, and Lodging) are purpose-built to provide customers with greater control and visibility of employee spending when compared with less specialized payment methods, such as cash or general-purpose credit cards. FLEETCOR provides several other payments solutions that, due to their nature or size, are not considered within our Corporate Payments and Expense Management solutions.

Revenue per relevant key performance indicator ("KPI"), which may include transaction, spend volume, monthly tags, room nights, or other metrics, is derived from the various revenue types as discussed above and can vary based on geography, the relevant merchant relationship, the payment solution utilized and the types of products or services purchased, the mix of which would be influenced by our acquisitions, organic growth in our business, and the overall macroeconomic environment, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, fuel prices and fuel spread margins. Revenue per KPI per customer may change as the level of services we provide to a customer increases or decreases, as macroeconomic factors change and as adjustments are made to merchant and customer rates. See “Results of Operations” for further discussion of transaction volumes and revenue per transaction.

Sources of Expenses
We incur expenses in the following categories: 
Processing—Our processing expense consists of expenses related to processing transactions, servicing our customers and merchants, credit losses and cost of goods sold related to our hardware sales in certain businesses.
Selling—Our selling expenses consist primarily of wages, benefits, sales commissions (other than merchant commissions) and related expenses for our sales, marketing and account management personnel and activities.
General and administrative—Our general and administrative expenses include compensation and related expenses (including stock-based compensation) for our executives, finance and accounting, information technology, human resources, legal and other administrative personnel. Also included are facilities expenses, third-party professional services fees, travel and entertainment expenses, and other corporate-level expenses.
Depreciation and amortization—Our depreciation expenses include depreciation of property and equipment, consisting of computer hardware and software (including proprietary software development amortization expense), card-reading equipment, furniture, fixtures, vehicles, buildings and leasehold improvements related to office space. Our amortization expenses include amortization of intangible assets related to customer and vendor relationships, trade names and trademarks, software and non-compete agreements. We are amortizing intangible assets related to business acquisitions and certain private label contracts associated with the purchase of accounts receivable.
Other operating, net—Our other operating, net includes other operating expenses and income items that do not relate to our core operations or that occur infrequently.
Investment (gain) loss, net—Our investment results primarily relate to impairment charges related to our investments and unrealized gains and losses related to a noncontrolling interest in a marketable security, which was disposed in 2020.
Other expense (income), net—Our other expense (income), net includes gains or losses from the sale of assets, foreign currency transactions, and other miscellaneous operating costs and revenue.
Interest expense, net—Our interest expense, net includes interest expense on our outstanding debt, interest income on our cash balances and interest on our interest rate swaps.
Provision for income taxes—Our provision for income taxes consists primarily of corporate income taxes related to earnings resulting from the sale of our products and services on a global basis.
Factors and Trends Impacting our Business
We believe that the following factors and trends are important in understanding our financial performance:
 
Global economic conditions—Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the economy generally, in North America, Brazil, and internationally, including the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors affected by the economy include our transaction volumes, the credit risk of our customers and changes in tax laws across the globe. These factors affected our businesses in each of our segments.
Foreign currency changes—Our results of operations are significantly impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates; namely, by movements of the Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Czech koruna, euro, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar and Russian ruble, relative to the U.S. dollar. Approximately 61% and 60% of our revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was derived in U.S. dollars and was not affected by foreign currency exchange rates. See “Results of Operations” for information related to foreign currency impacts on our total revenue, net.
Our cross-border foreign currency trading business aggregates foreign exchange exposures arising from customer contracts and economically hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties. These contracts are subject to counterparty credit risk.
Fuel prices—Our fleet customers use our products and services primarily in connection with the purchase of fuel. Accordingly, our revenue is affected by fuel prices, which are subject to significant volatility. A change in retail fuel prices could cause a decrease or increase in our revenue from several sources, including fees paid to us based on a percentage of each customer’s total purchase. Changes in the absolute price of fuel may also impact unpaid account balances and the late fees and charges based on these amounts. We believe approximately 12% and 11% of revenues, net were directly impacted by changes in fuel price in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
28


Fuel-price spread volatility—A portion of our revenue involves transactions where we derive revenue from fuel price spreads, which is the difference between the price charged to a fleet customer for a transaction and the price paid to the merchant for the same transaction. In these transactions, the price paid to the merchant is based on the wholesale cost of fuel. The merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel is dependent on several factors including, among others, the factors described above affecting fuel prices. The fuel price that we charge to our customer is dependent on several factors including, among others, the fuel price paid to the merchant, posted retail fuel prices and competitive fuel prices. We experience fuel price spread contraction when the merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel increases at a faster rate than the fuel price we charge to our customers, or the fuel price we charge to our customers decreases at a faster rate than the merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel. The inverse of these situations produces fuel price spread expansion. We believe approximately 5% and 8% of revenues, net were directly impacted by fuel price spreads in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Acquisitions—Since 2002, we have completed over 80 acquisitions of companies and commercial account portfolios. Acquisitions have been an important part of our growth strategy, and it is our intention to continue to seek opportunities to increase our customer base and diversify our service offering through further strategic acquisitions. The impact of acquisitions has, and may continue to have, a significant impact on our results of operations and may make it difficult to compare our results between periods.
Interest rates—Our results of operations are affected by interest rates. We are exposed to market risk changes in interest rates on our cash investments and debt. On January 22, 2019, we entered into three swap contracts. The objective of these swap contracts is to reduce the variability of cash flows in the previously unhedged interest payments associated with $2.0 billion of variable rate debt, the sole source of which is due to changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate. For each of these swap contracts, we pay a fixed monthly rate and receive one month LIBOR.
Expenses—Over the long term, we expect that our general and administrative expense will decrease as a percentage of revenue as our revenue increases. To support our expected revenue growth, we plan to continue to incur additional sales and marketing expense by investing in our direct marketing, third-party agents, internet marketing, telemarketing and field sales force.
Taxes—We pay taxes in various taxing jurisdictions, including the U.S., most U.S. states and many non-U.S. jurisdictions. The tax rates in certain non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions are different than the U.S. tax rate. Consequently, as our earnings fluctuate between taxing jurisdictions, our effective tax rate fluctuates.

Acquisitions and Investments
On January 13, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Roger, rebranded CorpayOne, a global accounts payable (AP) cloud software platform for small businesses, for approximately $39 million. This acquisition is not expected to be material to the financial results of the Company.
On November 30, 2020, we completed the acquisition of a fuel card provider in New Zealand for an immaterial amount.
On September 17, 2020, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Associated Foreign Exchange (AFEX), a U.S. based, cross-border payment solutions provider, for approximately $450 million. The transaction is expected to close late in the second quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory approval and closing conditions.
On August 10, 2020, we completed the acquisition of a business in the lodging space in the U.S. for an immaterial amount.
We report our results from our 2021 and 2020 U.S. acquisitions in our North America segment from the dates of acquisition. We report our results from our 2020 New Zealand acquisition in our International segment from the date of acquisition.

Revenues, net
Consolidated revenues were $608.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $52.5 million or 7.9%, from $661.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Consolidated revenues and organic growth declined primarily due to decreases in transaction volume as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organically, consolidated revenues were down approximately 6%. Consolidated revenues also declined due to the negative impact of the macroeconomic environment. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of acquisitions completed in 2020 of approximately $12 million.
Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a negative impact on our consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 over the comparable period in 2020 of approximately $27 million. Unfavorable fuel price spreads had a negative impact on revenues of approximately $16 million, and foreign exchange rates had an unfavorable impact on consolidated revenues of approximately $11 million, primarily in Brazil and Russia. These decreases were partially offset by a slightly favorable impact of fuel prices.

North America segment revenues, net
North America segment revenues were $402.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $32.5 million or 7.5%, from $434.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. North America revenues and organic growth declined primarily due to decreases in transaction volume as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organically, North America segment revenues were down approximately 7%. North America revenues also declined due to the negative impact of the macroeconomic environment. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of acquisitions completed in 2020 of approximately $12 million.
Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a negative impact on our North America segment revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2021 over the comparable period in 2020 of approximately $13 million, driven primarily by unfavorable fuel price spreads of approximately $16 million. This decrease was partially offset by favorable changes in foreign exchange rates of approximately $2 million in our Canadian business and the favorable impact of fuel prices of approximately $1 million.

Brazil segment revenues, net
Brazil segment revenues were $81.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $17.1 million or 17.2%, from $99.0 million in three months ended March 31, 2020. Brazil revenues declined primarily due to the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 over the comparable period in 2019. These decreases were partially offset by organic growth in Brazil segment revenues of approximately 2%, which continues to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

International segment revenues, net
International segment revenues were $124.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $2.9 million or 2.3%, from $127.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. International revenues declined primarily due to decreases in transaction volume as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organically, International segment revenues were down approximately 7%. Although we cannot precisely measure the impact of the macroeconomic environment, in total we believe it had a positive impact on our International segment revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2021 over the comparable period in 2020 of approximately $5 million, driven primarily by favorable foreign exchange rates.
Consolidated operating expenses
Processing. Processing expenses were $116.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $117.3 million or 50.2%, from $233.7 million in the comparable prior period. Decreases in processing expenses were primarily due to a write-off of a customer receivable in our cross-border payments business of approximately $90 million in the first quarter of 2020, a $6 million bad debt recovery in 2021, the favorable impact of changes in foreign exchange rates of approximately $4 million, lower variable costs due to reduced volumes and expense reductions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by expenses related to acquisitions completed in 2020 of approximately $3 million.
Selling. Selling expenses were $52.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $3.8 million or 6.8%, from $55.9 million in the comparable prior period. Decreases in selling expenses were primarily due to lower commissions and other variable costs due to reduced sales volumes in prior quarters and the favorable impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates of approximately $1 million. These decreases were partially offset by expenses related to acquisitions completed in 2020 of approximately $1 million.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses were $108.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $2.3 million or 2.1% from $106.1 million in the comparable prior period. Increases in general and administrative expenses were primarily due to increased professional fees of $4 million, increased stock based compensation expense of $2 million, and the impact of acquisitions completed in 2020 of approximately $2 million. These increases were partially offset by decreased discretionary spending and the favorable impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates of approximately $1 million.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $65.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.3 million or 1.9%, from $64.5 million. Increases in depreciation and amortization expenses were primarily due to expenses related to acquisitions completed in 2020 of approximately $2 million, partially offset by the favorable impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates of approximately $2 million.

Investment loss. Investment loss of $2.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 relates to market value gains and losses recorded each period on an investment in a trading security, which we sold during the third quarter of 2020.

31


Other expense (income), net. Other income, net was $9.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily resulting from a $7 million favorable purchase price settlement from our Cambridge acquisition.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $28.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $7.1 million or 20.0%, from $35.7 million in the comparable prior period. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to decreases in LIBOR and lower borrowings, partially offset by the impact of additional borrowings on our Securitization Facility. The following table sets forth the average interest rates paid on borrowings under our Credit Facility, excluding the related unused facility fees and swaps.

 Three Months Ended March 31,
(Unaudited)20212020
Term loan A1.63 %3.00 %
Term loan B1.88 %3.42 %
Revolving line of credit A, B & C USD Borrowings1.62 %2.92 %
Revolving line of credit B GBP Borrowings1.52 %2.00 %
Foreign swing line1.54 %1.88 %
There were no borrowings on the revolving D facility in 2020. The average unused facility fee for the Credit Facility excluding the revolving D facility was 0.30% in the three month period ended March 31, 2021. On August 20, 2020, we terminated the revolving D facility.
On January 22, 2019, we entered into three interest rate swap cash flow contracts. The objective of these interest rate swap contracts is to reduce the variability of cash flows in the previously unhedged interest payments associated with $2 billion of variable rate debt, tied to the one month LIBOR benchmark interest rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, as a result of these swap contracts, we incurred additional interest expense of $12.1 million or 2.43% over the average LIBOR rates on $2 billion of borrowings.
Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes and effective tax rate were $51.4 million and 21.8%, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $26.2 million from $25.2 million and 19.0%, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Excluding the impact of the write-off of a customer receivable in our cross-border payments business in the first quarter of 2020, our effective tax rate was 18.9% for the first quarter of 2020 compared to 21.8% in the first quarter of 2021. The increase in the tax rate was primarily due to less compensation expense booked for tax purposes on employee stock option exercises in the three months ending March 31, 2021 over the comparable period in 2020. We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on an estimate of our effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in the estimate of the annual tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. The increase in the provision for income taxes was driven primarily by an increase in pre-tax earnings.
We pay taxes in different taxing jurisdictions, including the US, most US states, and many non-US jurisdictions. The tax rates in certain non-US taxing jurisdictions are different than the US tax rate. Consequently, as our earnings fluctuate between taxing jurisdictions, our effective tax rate fluctuates.
Net income. For the reasons discussed above, our net income increased to $184.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $37.2 million or 25.3%, from $147.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Operating income and operating margin
Consolidated operating income. Operating income was $266.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $65.0 million or 32.3%, from $201.0 million in the comparable prior period. Our operating margin was 43.7% and 30.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These increases were driven primarily by the write-off of a customer receivable in our cross-border payments business of approximately $90 million in the first quarter of 2020. These increases were partially offset by incremental legal expenses, including legal settlements, of $10 million, unfavorable movements in the foreign exchange rates of $4 million, unfavorable fuel price spreads of approximately $16 million, and the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
For the purpose of segment operating results, we calculate segment operating income by subtracting segment operating expenses from segment revenues, net. Segment operating margin is calculated by dividing segment operating income by segment revenues, net.

North America segment operating income. North America operating income was $162.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $76.8 million or 89.6%, from $85.7 million in the comparable prior period. North America
32


operating margin was 40.4% and 19.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These increases were primarily driven by the write-off of a customer receivable in our cross-border payments business of approximately $90 million in the first quarter of 2020. These increases were partially offset by incremental legal expenses, including legal settlements, of $10 million, unfavorable fuel price spreads of approximately $16 million, and the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brazil segment operating income. Brazil operating income was $32.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $7.2 million or 18.3%, from $39.4 million in the comparable prior period. Brazil operating margin was 39.3% and 39.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These decreases were primarily driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates of $8 million, partially offset by organic growth in Brazil segment revenues of approximately 2% and the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
International segment operating income. International operating income was $71.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $4.6 million or 6.1%, from $75.8 million in the comparable prior period. International operating margin was 57.2% and 59.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These decreases were driven primarily by decreases in volume as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by favorable foreign exchange rates of approximately $3 million.
Liquidity and capital resources
Our principal liquidity requirements are to service and repay our indebtedness, make acquisitions of businesses and commercial account portfolios, repurchase shares of our common stock and meet working capital, tax and capital expenditure needs.
Sources of liquidity. We believe that our current level of cash and borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility and Securitization Facility (each defined below), together with expected future cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet the needs of our existing operations and planned requirements for the foreseeable future, based on our current assumptions. At March 31, 2021, we had approximately $1.96 billion in total liquidity, consisting of approximately $998 million available under our Credit Facility (defined below) and unrestricted cash of $958 million. Restricted cash represents primarily customer deposits in our Comdata business in the U.S., as well as collateral received from customers for cross-currency transactions in our cross-border payments business, which are restricted from use other than to repay customer deposits, as well as to secure and settle cross-currency transactions.
We also utilize an accounts receivable Securitization Facility to finance a majority of our domestic receivables, to lower our cost of borrowing and more efficiently use capital. We generate and record accounts receivable when a customer makes a purchase from a merchant using one of our card solutions and generally pay merchants before collecting the receivable. As a result, we utilize the Securitization Facility as a source of liquidity to provide the cash flow required to fund merchant payments while we collect customer balances. These balances are primarily composed of charge balances, which are typically billed to the customer on a weekly, semimonthly or monthly basis, and are generally required to be paid within 14 days of billing. We also consider the undrawn amounts under our Securitization Facility and Credit Facility as funds available for working capital purposes and acquisitions. At March 31, 2021, we had no additional liquidity under our Securitization Facility.
The Company has determined that outside basis differences associated with our investment in foreign subsidiaries would not result in a material deferred tax liability, and consistent with our assertion that these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested, have not recorded incremental income taxes for the additional outside basis differences.
We cannot assure you that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will remain accurate due to the unprecedented nature of the disruption to our operations and the unpredictability of the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. As a consequence, our estimates of the duration of the pandemic and the severity of the impact on our future earnings and cash flows could change and have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Cash flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in millions).

 
Three Months Ended March 31,
(Unaudited)20212020
Net cash provided by operating activities$77.9 $420.0 
Net cash used in investing activities(63.2)(18.7)
Net cash used in financing activities(16.6)(314.5)
Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $77.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease from $420.0 million in the comparable prior period. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily due to unfavorable working capital movements primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and payments in the three months ended March 31, 2021 over the comparable period in 2020.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $63.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $18.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increased use of cash was primarily due to the increase in cash paid for acquisitions in the three months ended March 31, 2021 over the comparable period in 2020.
Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $16.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $314.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decreased use of cash was primarily due to a decrease in repurchases of our common stock of $368 million and decreased net borrowings on our Credit Facility of $393 million, partially offset by increased net borrowings on our Securitization Facility of $367 million, each in the three months ended March 31, 2021 over the comparable period in 2020.
Capital spending summary
Our capital expenditures were $19.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.3 million or 7.0%, from $18.3 million in the comparable prior period due to the impact of acquisitions and continued investments in technology.
Credit Facility
FLEETCOR Technologies Operating Company, LLC, and certain of our domestic and foreign owned subsidiaries, as designated co-borrowers (the “Borrowers”), are parties to a $4.86 billion Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and local currency issuer, and a syndicate of financial institutions (the “Lenders”), which has been amended multiple times. The Credit Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities (collectively, the "Credit Facility") consisting of a revolving credit facility in the amount of $1.285 billion, a term loan A facility in the amount of $3.225 billion and a term loan B facility in the amount of $350 million as of March 31, 2021. The revolving credit facility consists of (a) a revolving A credit facility in the amount of $800 million, with sublimits for letters of credit and swing line loans, (b) a revolving B facility in the amount of $450 million for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds, Japanese yen or other currency as agreed in advance, and a sublimit for swing line loans, and (c) a revolving C facility in the amount of $35 million for borrowings in U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars. The Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature for borrowing an additional $750 million in term loan A, term loan B, revolving A or revolving B facility debt and an unlimited amount when the leverage ratio on a pro forma basis is less than 3.00 to 1.00. Proceeds from the credit facilities may be used for working capital purposes, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes. On April 24, 2020, we entered into the eighth amendment to the Credit Agreement to add a $250 million revolving D facility. On August 20, 2020, we determined that, due to a recovery in our business operations and other safeguards being in place, the revolving D facility was no longer necessary and the facility was terminated. The maturity date for the term loan A and revolving credit facilities A, B and C is December 19, 2023. As of March 31, 2021, the maturity date for the term loan B was August 2, 2024. On April 30, 2021 we entered into the ninth amendment to the Credit Agreement. The amendment provided for a new seven-year $1.150 billion term loan B. The existing term loan B was paid off with proceeds from the new term loan B. The new term loan B has a maturity date of April 30, 2028, and interest rates remain unchanged.
Interest on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement (other than the term loan B) accrues based on the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (the "Eurocurrency Rate"), plus a margin based on a leverage ratio, or at our option, the Base Rate (defined as the rate equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%) plus a margin based on a leverage ratio. Interest on the term loan B facility accrues based on the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.75% for Eurocurrency Loans or the Base Rate plus 0.75% for Base Rate Loans. In addition, we pay a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% of the daily unused portion of the Credit Facility.
34


At March 31, 2021, the interest rate on the term loan A was 1.61%, the interest rate on the term loan B was 1.86% and the interest rate on the revolving A facility was 1.61%. The unused credit facility fee was 0.30% at March 31, 2021.
At March 31, 2021, we had $2.9 billion in borrowings outstanding on the term loan A, net of discounts, and $336.6 million in borrowings outstanding on the term loan B, net of discounts. We have unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.6 million related to the revolving facilities as of March 31, 2021 recorded within other assets in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have unamortized debt discounts and debt issuance costs related to the term loans of $6.4 million and $0.8 million at March 31, 2021, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we made principal payments of $41 million on the term loans, $354 million on the revolving facilities, and $34 million on the swing line revolving facility.
As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with each of the covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Cash Flow Hedges
On January 22, 2019, we entered into three swap contracts. The objective of these swap contracts is to reduce the variability of cash flows in the previously unhedged interest payments associated with $2.0 billion of variable rate debt, the sole source of which is due to changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate. These swap contracts qualify as hedging instruments and have been designated as cash flow hedges. For each of these swap contracts, we pay a fixed monthly rate and receive one month LIBOR. We reclassified approximately $12.1 million of losses from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as a result of these hedging instruments.
Securitization Facility
We are party to a $1.0 billion receivables purchase agreement among FLEETCOR Funding LLC, as seller, PNC Bank, National Association as administrator, and various purchaser agents, conduit purchasers and related committed purchasers parties thereto. We refer to this arrangement as the Securitization Facility. There have been several amendments to the Securitization Facility. On April 24, 2020, we reduced our Securitization Facility commitment from $1.2 billion to $1.0 billion. On November 13, 2020, we extended the Securitization Facility termination date to November 12, 2021, added an uncommitted accordion to increase the purchase limit by up to $500 million, revised obligor concentration limits and reserve calculations, added a 0.375% LIBOR floor and modified certain swing line terms. In addition, the program fee for LIBOR borrowings increased from 0.90% to 1.25% and the program fee for Commercial Paper Rate borrowings increased from 0.80% to 1.15%. On March 29, 2021, we amended the Securitization Facility to include a new three year maturity date, reduced the LIBOR floor to 0 bps, improved margins, and increased the swing line from $100 million to $250 million. The maturity date for our Securitization Facility is March 29, 2024.
We were in compliance with the financial covenant requirements related to our Securitization Facility as of March 31, 2021.
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company's Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program (as updated from time to time, the "Program"), authorizing the Company to repurchase its common stock from time to time until February 1, 2023. On October 22, 2020, our Board increased the aggregate size of the Program by $1 billion, to $4.1 billion. Since the beginning of the Program, 15,257,675 shares have been repurchased for an aggregate purchase price of $3.3 billion, leaving the Company up to $836.3 million available under the Program for future repurchases in shares of its common stock.
Any stock repurchases may be made at times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate. The timing and amount of stock repurchases, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including the stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, and any additional constraints related to material inside information the Company may possess. Any repurchases have been and are expected to be funded by a combination of available cash flow from the business, working capital and debt.
Pending Acquisition
On September 17, 2020, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Associated Foreign Exchange (AFEX), a U.S. based, cross-border payment solutions provider, for approximately $450 million. The transaction is expected to close late in the second quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory approval and closing conditions.

Critical accounting policies and estimates
In applying the accounting policies that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements, we necessarily make accounting estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Some of these estimates require us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time we make the accounting estimates. We base these assumptions and the resulting estimates on historical information and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. In many instances, however, we reasonably could have used different accounting estimates and, in other instances, changes in our accounting estimates could occur from period to period, with the result in each case being a material change in the financial statement presentation of our financial condition or results of operations. We refer to estimates of this type as critical accounting estimates.
Accounting estimates necessarily require subjective determinations about future events and conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we have not adopted any new critical accounting policies that had a significant impact upon our consolidated financial statements, have not changed any critical accounting policies and have not changed the application of any critical accounting policies from the year ended December 31, 2020. For critical accounting policies, refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates in Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and our summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 of our Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have included in the discussion above certain financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. Below, we define the non-GAAP financial measures, provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and discuss the reasons that we believe this information is useful to management and may be useful to investors.

Pro forma and macro adjusted revenue and transactions by solution. We define the pro forma and macro adjusted revenue as revenue, net as reflected in our statement of income, adjusted to eliminate the impact of the macroeconomic environment and the impact of acquisitions and dispositions. The macroeconomic environment includes the impact that market fuel price spreads, fuel prices and foreign exchange rates have on our business. We use pro forma and macro adjusted revenue and transactions to evaluate the organic growth in our revenue and the associated transactions.
Organic revenue growth is calculated as revenue growth in the current period adjusted for the impact of changes in the macroeconomic environment (to include fuel price, fuel price spreads and changes in foreign exchange rates) over revenue in the comparable prior period adjusted to include or remove the impact of acquisitions and/or divestitures and non-recurring items that have occurred subsequent to that period. We believe that organic revenue growth on a macro-neutral, one-time item, and consistent acquisition/divestiture/non-recurring item basis is useful to investors for understanding the performance of FLEETCOR.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share. We have defined the non-GAAP measure adjusted net income as net income as reflected in our Statement of Income, adjusted to eliminate (a) non-cash stock based compensation expense related to share based compensation awards, (b) amortization of deferred financing costs, discounts and intangible assets, and amortization of the premium recognized on the purchase of receivables, (c) integration and deal related costs, and (d) other non-recurring items, including unusual credit losses occurring largely due to COVID-19, the impact of discrete tax items, impairment charges, asset write-offs, restructuring costs, gains due to disposition of assets and a business, loss on extinguishment of debt, and legal settlements.
We have defined the non-GAAP measure adjusted net income per diluted share as the calculation previously noted divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding as reflected in our statement of income.
37


We use adjusted net income to eliminate the effect of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash stock based compensation expense from adjusted net income because non-cash equity grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time and stock based compensation expense is not a key measure of our core operating performance. We also believe that amortization expense can vary substantially from company to company and from period to period depending upon their financing and accounting methods, the fair value and average expected life of their acquired intangible assets, their capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired; therefore, we have excluded amortization expense from our adjusted net income. We also believe that integration and deal related costs and one-time nonrecurring expenses, gains, losses, and impairment charges do not necessarily reflect how our investments and business are performing. We adjust net income for the tax effect of each of these non-tax items. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net income per diluted share or cash flows from operations, as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by U.S. GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
Management uses adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and organic revenue growth:
as measurements of operating performance because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis;
for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget;
to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; and
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies.

Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about FLEETCOR’s beliefs, expectations and future performance, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “seek,” “project” or “expect,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could” or “should,” the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of performance, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to many uncertainties and other variable circumstances, including those discussed in "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2021, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.

These forward-looking statements may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation:

regulatory measures, voluntary actions, or changes in consumer preferences, that impact our transaction volume, including social distancing, shelter-in-place, shutdowns of nonessential businesses and similar measures imposed or undertaken in an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19);
the impact of macroeconomic conditions and whether expected trends, including retail fuel prices, fuel price spreads, and fuel transaction patterns, develop as anticipated;
our ability to successfully execute our strategic plan, manage our growth and achieve our performance targets;
our ability to attract new and retain existing partners, fuel merchants, and lodging providers, their promotion and support of our solutions, and their financial performance;
the failure of management assumptions and estimates, as well as differences in, and changes to, economic, market, interest rate, interchange fees, foreign exchange rates, and credit conditions, including changes in borrowers’ credit risks and payment behaviors;
the risk of higher borrowing costs and adverse financial market conditions impacting our funding and liquidity, and any reduction in our credit ratings;
our ability to successfully manage our credit risks and the sufficiency of our allowance for expected credit losses;
our ability to securitize our trade receivables;
the occurrence of fraudulent activity, data breaches or failures of our information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents that may compromise our systems or customers’ information;
any disruptions in the operations of our computer systems and data centers;
the international operational and political risks and compliance and regulatory risks and costs associated with international operations;
our ability to develop and implement new technology, products, and services;
any alleged infringement of intellectual property rights of others and our ability to protect our intellectual property;
the regulation, supervision, and examination of our business by foreign and domestic governmental authorities, as well as litigation and regulatory actions, including the lawsuit recently filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC);
the impact of regulations relating to privacy, information security and data protection; use of third-party vendors and ongoing third-party business relationships; and failure to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and anti-terrorism financing laws;
changes in our senior management team and our ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified personnel consistent with our strategic plan;
tax legislation initiatives or challenges to our tax positions and/or interpretations, and state sales tax rules and regulations;
the risks of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, including, without limitation, the related time and costs of implementing such transactions, integrating operations as part of these transactions and possible failures to achieve expected gains, revenue growth and/or expense savings from such transactions; and
the other factors and information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings that we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act and Securities Act. See “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2021.

Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to update any such statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of such statements to reflect future events or developments.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2021, management carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in those reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, 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
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending or threatened legal actions, arbitration proceedings, claims, subpoenas, and matters relating to compliance with laws and regulations (collectively, "legal proceedings").  Based on our current knowledge, management presently does not believe that the liabilities arising from these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition for any particular period.
Derivative Lawsuits
On July 10, 2017, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (“Federal Derivative Action”) seeking recovery on behalf of the Company. The Federal Derivative Action alleges that the defendants issued a false and misleading proxy statement in violation of the federal securities laws; that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing or permitting the Company to make allegedly false and misleading public statements concerning the Company’s fee charges, and financial and business prospects; and that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties through allegedly improper sales of stock. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the Company, corporate governance reforms, disgorgement of profits, benefits and compensation by the defendants, restitution, costs, and attorneys’ and experts’ fees. On September 20, 2018, the court entered an order deferring the Federal Derivative Action pending a ruling on motions for summary judgment in the shareholder class action, notice a settlement has been reached in the shareholder class action, or until otherwise agreed to by the parties. After preliminary approval of the proposed settlement of the shareholder class action was granted, the stay on the Federal Derivative Action was lifted. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on February 22, 2020. FLEETCOR filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the Federal Derivative Action on April 17, 2020, which the court granted without leave to amend on October 21, 2020. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on November 18, 2020. The appeal is pending.
On January 9, 2019, a similar shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia (“State Derivative Action”), which was stayed pending a ruling on motions for summary judgment in the shareholder class action, notice a settlement has been reached in the shareholder class action, or until otherwise agreed by the parties. On the parties’ joint motion, the court has continued the stay of the State Derivative Action “pending further developments in the first-filed Federal Derivative Action.” The defendants dispute the allegations in the derivative complaints and intend to vigorously defend against the claims.
FTC Investigation
In October 2017, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) issued a Notice of Civil Investigative Demand to the Company for the production of documentation and a request for responses to written interrogatories. After discussions with the Company, the FTC proposed in October 2019 to resolve potential claims relating to the Company’s advertising and marketing practices, principally in its U.S. direct fuel card business within its North American Fuel Card business. The parties reached impasse primarily related to what the Company believes are unreasonable demands for redress made by the FTC.
On December 20, 2019, the FTC filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Georgia against the Company and Ron Clarke. See FTC v. FLEETCOR and Ronald F. Clarke, No. 19-cv-05727 (N.D. Ga.). The complaint alleges the Company and Clarke violated the FTC Act’s prohibitions on unfair and deceptive acts and practices. The complaint seeks among other things injunctive relief, consumer redress, and costs of suit. The Company continues to believe that the FTC’s claims are without merit and these matters are not and will not be material to the Company’s financial performance. On April 17, 2021, the FTC filed a motion for summary judgment. On April 22, 2021, the United States Supreme Court held unanimously in AMG Capital Management v. FTC that the FTC does not have authority under current law to seek monetary redress by means of Section 13(b) of the FTC Act, which is the means by which the FTC has sought such redress in this case. FLEETCOR’s response to the FTC’s motion for summary judgment and any cross-motion for summary judgment is due to be filed on May 17, 2021. The Company has incurred and continues to incur legal and other fees related to this complaint. Any settlement of this matter, or defense against the lawsuit, could involve costs to the Company, including legal fees, redress, penalties, and remediation expenses. At this time, the Company believes the possible range of outcomes includes continuing litigation or discussions leading to a settlement, or the closure of these matters without further action.
Item 1A.Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, from time to time, all of which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. For example, these risks now include risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic developments.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The Company's Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program (as updated from time to time, the "Program") authorizing the Company to repurchase its common stock from time to time until February 1, 2023. On October 22, 2020, our Board increased the aggregate size of the Program by $1 billion, to $4.1 billion. Since the beginning of the Program through September 30, 2020, 15,257,675 shares have been repurchased for an aggregate purchase price of $3.3 billion, leaving the Company up to $836.3 million available under the Program for future repurchases in shares of its common stock.
Any stock repurchases may be made at times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate. The timing and amount of stock repurchases, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including the stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, and any additional constraints related to material inside information the Company may possess. Any repurchases have been and are expected to be funded by a combination of available cash flow from the business, working capital and debt.
The following table presents information as of March 31, 2021, with respect to purchase of common stock of the Company made during the three months ended March 31, 2021 by the Company as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act.

In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; JOINDER OF PARTIES; REBALANCING
(b)    Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety, as of the Closing Date, the Fourth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 29, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original Agreement”), among the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator, PNC, Atlantic Asset Securitization LLC, Credit Agricole Corporate and

Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement by this Agreement, (i) the Seller and Servicer shall continue to be liable to each of the parties to the Original Agreement or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person (as such terms are defined in the Original Agreement) for fees and expenses which are accrued and unpaid under the Original Agreement on the date hereof and all agreements to indemnify such parties in connection with events or conditions arising or existing prior to the effective date of this Agreement, (ii) the security interest created under the Original Agreement in favor of the Administrator shall remain in full force and effect under this Agreement and (iii) all Capital and Discount outstanding or owing under the Original Agreement shall be and constitute Capital and Discount outstanding or owing under this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES
SECTION 1.    Purchase Facility.
740334237 04351262
-2-



(a)    On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time before the Facility Termination Date, request that (i) the Swingline Purchaser make purchases from the Seller of, and reinvestments in, undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest pursuant to Section 1.2(c) (each such Purchase, a “Swingline Purchase”), and/or (ii) the Purchasers ratably make purchases from the Seller of, and reinvestments in, undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest. Each purchase requested by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(a) (each, a “Purchase”) shall be made ratably (based on Ratable Shares) by the respective Purchaser Groups, and each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each Purchase shall be made and funded (i) if such Purchaser Group contains a Conduit Purchaser and such Conduit Purchaser elects (in its sole discretion) to make and fund such portion of such Purchase, by such Conduit Purchaser, or (ii) if such Purchaser Group does not contain a Conduit Purchaser or if the Conduit Purchaser in such Purchaser Group declines (in its sole discretion) to make or fund such portion of such Purchase, by the Committed Purchaser in such Purchaser Group. Subject to Section 1.4(b) concerning Reinvestments, at no time will any Conduit Purchaser have any obligation to make or fund a Purchase. Each Committed Purchaser hereby severally agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make Purchases before the Facility Termination Date, equal to its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each Purchase; provided, however, that (i) under no circumstances shall the Swingline Purchaser make (or be obligated to make) any Swingline Purchase if after giving effect thereto, (A) the Swingline Capital would exceed the Swingline Sub-Limit or (B) and the Aggregate Capital would (after giving effect to all Purchases and Reinvestments on such date) exceed the aggregate Commitments of all Purchaser Groups that do not include a Defaulting Purchaser and (ii) under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make (or be obligated to make) any Purchase or Reinvestment (other than a Swingline Purchase) hereunder if, after giving effect to such Purchase or Reinvestment (A) the Group Capital of such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group would exceed such Purchaser Group’s Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Capital would (after giving effect to all Purchases and Reinvestments on such date) exceed the Purchase Limit or (C) the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%.
(b)    The Seller may, upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, reduce the unfunded portion of the Swingline Sub-Limit and/or the Purchase Limit in whole or in part (but not below the amount which would cause the Group Capital of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Commitment (after giving effect to such reduction)); provided that (i) with respect to the Purchase Limit, each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and, unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $250,000,000, and (ii) with respect to the Swingline Sub-Limit, each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Such reduction (other than a reduction of the Swingline Sub-Limit) shall, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Seller, the Program Administrator and each Purchaser Agent be applied ratably to reduce the Commitment of each Purchaser Group.
(c)    Provided that no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, upon notice to the Administrator and each Committed Purchaser, the Seller may request on a one-time basis that some or all of the Committed Purchasers increase
740334237 04351262
-3-



their respective Commitments, in an aggregate amount such that after giving effect thereto the Purchase Limit shall not exceed $1,500,000,000; provided, that such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000.  At the time of sending such notice with respect to the Committed Purchasers, the Seller (in consultation with the Administrator) shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of such increase (such amount, the “Requested Purchase Limit Increase”) and (ii) the time period within which the Committed Purchasers are requested to respond to the Seller’s request (which shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Administrator).  Each of the Committed Purchasers shall notify the Administrator, the Seller and the Servicer within the applicable time period (which shall not be less than thirty (30) days) whether or not such Committed Purchaser agrees, in its sole discretion, to make such increase to such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment or otherwise agrees to any lesser increase in its Commitment.  Any Committed Purchaser not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to consent to an increase in such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment.  In the event that one or more Committed Purchasers fails to consent to all or any portion of any such request for an increase in its Commitment, the Seller may (in consultation with the Administrator) request that any unaccepted portion of the requested increases in Commitments be allocated to one or more willing Committed Purchasers as agreed in writing among the Seller, the Administrator and such willing Committed Purchasers (in each case, in their sole discretion), such that such Committed Purchasers’ increase in their Commitment exceeds each such Committed Purchaser’s ratable share.  Any such Committed Purchaser may agree, in its sole discretion, to such increase in its Commitment.  If the Commitment of any Committed Purchaser is increased in accordance with this Section 1.1(c), the Administrator, such Committed Purchaser, the Seller and the Servicer shall determine the effective date with respect to such increase and shall enter into such documents as agreed to by such parties to document such increase and, if applicable, rebalance Capital among the Purchasers such that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding Capital of the Purchasers is distributed ratably among the Purchasers; provided, that only the consent of the Seller, the Administrator and each Committed Purchaser then increasing its Commitment shall be required and, on the date of such increase in accordance with this Section 1.1(c), the Seller shall be entitled to make non-ratable voluntary reductions in the Capital of non-increasing Committed Purchasers funded by non-ratable Purchases funded by increasing Committed Purchasers such that, after giving effect to such reductions and Purchases, the aggregate outstanding Capital of the Purchasers is distributed ratably among the Purchasers.
SECTION 2.    Making Purchases.
(a)    Purchase Notices. Each Purchase (excluding any Reinvestment or Swingline Purchase) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder may be made on any day upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B-1 (each, a “Purchase Notice”) delivered to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 6.2 (which notice must be received by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent before 2:00 p.m., New York City Time) at least one Business Day before the requested Purchase Date, which notice shall specify: (A) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $500,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents) and shall be in integral multiples of
740334237 04351262
-4-



$100,000, with respect to each Purchaser Group, (B) the date of such Purchase (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Capital. Each Swingline Purchase shall be requested and made in accordance with Section 1.2(c).
(b)    Funding Purchases.
(i)    Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the date of each Purchase (excluding any Reinvestment or Swingline Purchase) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder, each applicable Purchaser shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, deliver to the Administrator by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the account from time to time designated in writing by the Administrator, an amount equal to the portion of Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being funded by such Purchaser. On the date of each Purchase (excluding any Reinvestment or Swingline Purchase), the Administrator will make available to the Seller, in same day funds at the account from time to time designated in writing by the Seller to the Administrator, the amount of Capital to be funded by all Purchasers in respect of such Purchase.
(ii)    Unless the Administrator shall have received notice from a Purchaser or Purchaser Agent prior to the proposed date of any Purchase (excluding any Reinvestment or Swingline Purchase) that such Purchaser’s or Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group will not make available to the Administrator such Purchaser Group’s share of such Purchase, the Administrator may assume that such Purchaser Group has made such share available on such date in accordance with the foregoing clause (b)(i) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Seller a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Purchaser Group has not in fact made its share of the applicable Purchase available to the Administrator, then the Committed Purchaser in such Purchaser Group and the Seller severally agree to pay to the Administrator forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Seller to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrator, at (i) in the case of such Committed Purchaser, the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrator in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Seller, the Base Rate. If such Committed Purchaser pays such amount to the Administrator, then such amount shall constitute such Committed Purchaser’s Capital included in such Purchase. If the Seller and such Committed Purchaser shall pay such interest to the Administrator for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrator shall promptly remit to the Seller the amount of such interest paid by the Seller for such period. Any such payment by the Seller shall be without prejudice to any claim the Seller may have against a Committed Purchaser that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrator.
(c)    Swingline Purchases.
740334237 04351262
-5-



(i)    Swingline Purchase Notices. If the Seller desires that the Swingline Purchaser make a Swingline Purchase on any Business Day, the Seller shall provide the Swingline Purchaser and the Administrator with prior irrevocable written notice thereof in the form of Annex B-2 (each, a “Swingline Purchase Notice”) in accordance with Section 6.2 not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day. Each Swingline Purchase Notice shall specify: (A) the amount of Capital requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $500,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Swingline Purchaser) and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000, (B) the date of such Swingline Purchase (which shall be a Business Day and which may be the same Business Day on which such Swingline Purchase Notice is delivered) and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Capital.
(ii)    Funding Swingline Purchases. On the applicable Purchase Date for such Swingline Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit II, the Swingline Purchaser shall make available to the Seller in same day funds, at the account from time to time designated in writing by the Seller to the Swingline Purchaser, an amount equal to the Capital requested by the Seller pursuant to the related Swingline Purchase Notice. Only one (1) Swingline Purchase Notice may be outstanding for any Business Day.
(iii)    Swingline Settlements. Each of the Purchasers acknowledges that the Swingline Purchaser will make Swingline Purchases on same-day notice to facilitate the administration of the facility evidenced by this Agreement, but that the Swingline Purchaser will do so based on its expectation that not later than the next succeeding Swingline Settlement Date (or, if sooner, the Facility Termination Date), each other Purchaser will purchase its Ratable Share of the aggregate outstanding Swingline Capital at par. Accordingly, not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Swingline Settlement Date and on the Facility Termination Date, if any Swingline Capital is then outstanding, the Swingline Purchaser shall send a written statement (a “Swingline Statement”) to each of the other Purchasers setting forth the amount of the outstanding Swingline Capital and each such Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share thereof (such Purchaser Group’s “Swingline Settlement Amount”). Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day of delivery of each Swingline Statement, each Committed Purchaser shall (or shall cause its related Conduit Purchaser to) purchase from the Swingline Purchaser an amount of the outstanding Swingline Capital equal to its Purchaser Group’s Swingline Settlement Amount by paying to the Swingline Purchaser in immediately available funds an amount equal to such Purchaser’s Swingline Settlement Amount; provided that the Committed Purchaser that is also the Swingline Purchaser shall be automatically deemed to have made such payment in its capacity as a Committed Purchaser. Upon payment to the Swingline Purchaser of the Swingline Settlement Amount, the paying Purchaser’s aggregate outstanding Capital shall be increased by the amount of such payment and the Swingline Purchaser’s aggregate outstanding Capital shall be reduced by the amount of such payment. All Discount (and
740334237 04351262
-6-



Fees) accrued on or with respect to the Swingline Capital prior to such payment shall remain payable to the Swingline Purchaser for its own account.                    
(iv)    Failure to Settle. If any Purchaser Group fails to pay its Swingline Settlement Amount in full to the Swingline Purchaser by the time and date required by Section 1.2(c)(iii), (i) the unpaid amount of such Swingline Settlement Amount shall bear interest, payable by the Committed Purchaser in such Purchaser Group to the Swingline Purchaser upon demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Rate, and if not paid within three (3) Business Days of the Swingline Purchaser’s demand, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) 3.0% per annum above the Base Rate in effect on such day and (y) the “Alternate Rate” as calculated in clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof, as applicable, and (ii) the Swingline Purchaser may cancel or suspend availability of the Swingline Sub-Limit and shall have no obligation to make additional Swingline Purchasers. The Swingline Purchaser (whether individually or as Administrator) shall not be obligated to transfer to any Purchaser in such a defaulting Purchaser Group any payments received by it for the benefit of such defaulting Purchaser Group, nor shall the members of such a defaulting Purchaser Group be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any Capital, Discount, Fees or other amounts). Amounts payable to such a defaulting Purchaser Group shall instead be paid to the Swingline Purchaser in reduction of such defaulting Purchaser Group’s obligation to pay its Swingline Settlement Amount or interest thereon. This Section shall remain effective with respect to a defaulting Purchaser Group until such default is cured. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Purchaser, or relieve or excuse the performance by the Seller of its duties and obligations hereunder.
(d)    Sale of Undivided Interests. Effective on the date of each Purchase pursuant to Section 1.2(b), each Swingline Purchase pursuant to Section 1.2(c) and each Reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.4, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers (ratably, according to each such Purchaser’s Capital) an undivided percentage ownership interest in: (i) each Pool Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related Security.
(e)    Grant of Security Interest. To secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the Collection Accounts, the Lock-Boxes and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Collection Accounts, the Lock-Boxes and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Sale Agreement and the Sub-Originator Sale Agreement (as assignee of Comdata Inc.) and (vi) all proceeds of, and all
740334237 04351262
-7-



amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing (collectively, the “Pool Assets”). The Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrator and the Purchasers, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) to file financing statements in each jurisdiction the Administrator deems necessary and appropriate to perfect its security interest in the Pool Assets, describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, the Administrator shall not agree in writing to release all or a material portion of the Pool Assets from its security interest created hereunder without the consent of all Purchaser Agents.
(f)    Addition of Purchasers. The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, add additional Persons as Purchasers (either to an existing Purchaser Group or by creating new Purchaser Groups) or cause an existing Purchaser to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit; provided, however, that the Commitment of any Purchaser may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Each new Purchaser (or Purchaser Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrator and the Seller, an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Purchaser or Purchasers, be executed by each Person in such new Purchaser’s Purchaser Group).
(g)    Several Obligations. Each Committed Purchaser’s obligation hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Purchaser to make a payment in connection with any Purchase hereunder shall not relieve any other Committed Purchaser of its obligation hereunder to make payment for any Purchase. If any Committed Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, the Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Committed Purchaser, its Purchaser Agent and the Administrator, require such Defaulting Purchaser and its related Conduit Purchaser (if any) to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to all applicable transfer restrictions), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to another appropriate financial institution that shall assume such Defaulting Purchaser’s and (if applicable) Conduit Purchaser’s obligations (which assignee may be an existing Purchaser); provided that (A) the Seller shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, (B) such Defaulting Purchaser and the other members of its Purchaser Group shall have received payment of an amount equal to their outstanding Capital and, if applicable, accrued Discount and Fees thereon and all other amounts then owing to them hereunder from the assignee or the Seller and (C) for the avoidance of doubt, no Purchaser shall have any obligation to accept any such assignment or delegation from a Defaulting Purchaser or its related Conduit Purchaser or to fund any Defaulting Purchaser’s share of any Purchase, in either case, except as otherwise agreed in writing by such Purchaser in its sole discretion. A Defaulting Purchaser shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by
740334237 04351262
-8-



such Defaulting Purchaser or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Seller to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.
SECTION 3.    Purchased Interest Computation. The Purchased Interest shall be initially computed on the Closing Date. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, the Purchased Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day; provided, however, that on each Termination Day, the Purchased Interest shall be deemed to be not less than 100% for all purposes hereof. The Purchased Interest shall become zero on the Final Payout Date.
SECTION 4.    Settlement Procedures.
(a)    The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Day and current computations of the Purchased Interest.
(b)    The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or deemed received) by the Seller or the Servicer:
(i)    set aside and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each Purchaser Group, out of such Collections, (x) an amount equal to the Aggregate Discount accrued through such day for each Portion of Capital and not previously set aside, (y) an amount equal to the fees set forth in each Purchaser Group Fee Letter accrued and unpaid through such day, and (z) to the extent funds are available therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate of each Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously set aside;
(ii)    subject to Section 1.4(f), if such day is not a Termination Day, remit to the Seller, ratably, on behalf of each Purchaser Group, the remainder of such Collections. Such remainder shall, to the extent representing a return on the Aggregate Capital, ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Capital, be automatically reinvested in Pool Receivables, and in the Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto (each such reinvestment, a “Reinvestment,” and “Reinvest” shall have the correlative meaning); provided, however, that if the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not Reinvest, but shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) a portion of such Collections that, together with the other Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%, which amount shall be deposited ratably to each Purchaser Agent’s account (for the benefit of its related Purchasers and to be applied in reduction of their respective Capital) on the next Weekly Settlement Date in accordance with Section 1.4(c); provided, further, that if the Facility Termination Date has been extended pursuant to Section 1.11 and any Purchaser (or its Purchaser Agent) has provided notice (an “Exiting Notice”) to the Administrator, the
740334237 04351262
-9-



Seller and the Servicer of such Purchaser’s refusal, pursuant to Section 1.11, to extend its (or its related Committed Purchaser’s) Commitment hereunder (an “Exiting Purchaser”) then such Collections shall not be Reinvested and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of such Purchaser and applied in accordance with clause (iii) below;
(iii)    if such day is a Termination Day (or any day following the provision of an Exiting Notice), set aside, segregate and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each Purchaser Group the entire remainder of the Collections (or in the case of an Exiting Purchaser an amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections based on its Capital; provided, that solely for the purpose of determining such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections, such Purchaser’s Capital shall be deemed to remain constant from the date of the provision of an Exiting Notice until the date such Purchaser’s Capital has been paid in full; it being understood that if such day is also a Termination Day, such Exiting Purchaser’s Capital shall be recalculated taking into account amounts received by such Purchaser in respect of this parenthetical and thereafter Collections shall be set aside for such Purchaser ratably in respect of its Capital (as recalculated)); provided, that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Termination Day of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Day” (or any day following the provision of an Exiting Notice) and, thereafter, the conditions set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit II are satisfied or waived by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of an Exiting Notice, such Exiting Notice has been revoked by the related Exiting Purchaser and written notice thereof has been provided by such Exiting Purchaser or its Purchaser Agent to the Administrator, the Seller and the Servicer), such previously set-aside amounts shall, to the extent representing a return on Aggregate Capital (or the Capital of the Exiting Purchaser) and ratably in accordance with each Purchaser’s Capital, be Reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions or revocation of such Exiting Notice; and
(iv)    release to the Seller (subject to Section 1.4(f)) for its own account any Collections in excess of: (x) amounts required to be Reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) or the proviso to clause (iii) plus (y) the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to clause (i), the proviso to clause (ii) and clause (iii) plus (z) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued and unpaid through such day and all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables.
(c)    The Servicer shall, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 1.4(d), below, deposit into each applicable Purchaser’s account (or such other account designated by such applicable Purchaser or its Purchaser Agent), (x) on each Monthly Settlement Date in the case of Collections held for each Purchaser with respect to such Purchaser’s Portion(s) of Capital pursuant to clause (b)(i) and (y) on each Weekly Settlement Date, in the case of Collections then held for such Purchaser pursuant to clauses (b)(ii) and (iii) of Section 1.4; provided, that if FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, such day is not a Termination Day and the
740334237 04351262
-10-



Administrator has not notified FleetCor (or such Affiliate) that such right is revoked, FleetCor (or such Affiliate) may retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to clause (b)(i) that represents the aggregate of each Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee.
(d)    The Servicer shall distribute the amounts described (and at the times set forth) in Section 1.4(c), as follows:
(i)    if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Termination Day and the Purchased Interest does not exceed 100%, first to each Purchaser Agent (or, in the case of interest accrued and payable by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(ii), to the Administrator) ratably according to the Discount and Fees (other than Servicing Fees) accrued during such Yield Period (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital maintained by such Purchasers and accrued Fees (other than Servicing Fees); it being understood and agreed that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount and accrued Fees, and second, if the Servicer has set aside amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (b)(i) and has not retained such amounts pursuant to clause (c) above, to the Servicer’s own account (payable in arrears on each Monthly Settlement Date) in payment in full of the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of accrued Servicing Fees so set aside, and
(ii)    if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day or on a day when the Purchased Interest exceeds 100%, first if FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, to the Servicer’s own account in payment in full of the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees, second to each Purchaser Agent (or, in the case of interest accrued and payable by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(ii), to the Administrator) ratably (based on the aggregate accrued and unpaid Discount and Fees (other than Servicing Fees) payable to all Purchasers at such time) (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital funded or maintained by the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group and accrued Fees; it being understood and agreed that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount and accrued Fees, third to the Administrator in payment in full of the Aggregate Capital (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%) for distribution by the Administrator to the Purchaser Agents in accordance with Section 1.6, fourth, if the Aggregate Capital and accrued Aggregate Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital for all Purchaser Groups and all accrued Fees (other than Servicing Fees) have been reduced to zero, and the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer (if other than FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof) have been paid in full, to each Purchaser Group ratably, based on the amounts payable to each (for the benefit of the Purchasers within such Purchaser Group), the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person in payment in full of any other amounts owed thereto by the Seller or Servicer hereunder and, fifth, to the Servicer’s own account (if the
740334237 04351262
-11-



Servicer is FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof) in payment in full of the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees.
After the Aggregate Capital, Aggregate Discount, fees payable pursuant to each Purchaser Group Fee Letter and Servicing Fees with respect to the Purchased Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller and the Servicer to each Purchaser Group, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder, have been paid in full, all additional Collections with respect to the Purchased Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.
(e)    For the purposes of this Section 1.4:
(i)    if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer or any other Person (including, if applicable, the originator of such Receivable), or any setoff or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and shall immediately pay any and all such amounts in respect thereof to an Eligible Collection Account for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to Section 1.4;
(ii)    if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Sections 1(j) or 3(a) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full and shall immediately pay any and all such amounts to an Eligible Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrator at such time) for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to this Section 1.4 (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (e) are hereinafter referred to as “Deemed Collections”);
(iii)    except as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and
(iv)    if and to the extent the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.
740334237 04351262
-12-



(f)    If at any time the Seller shall wish to cause the reduction of Aggregate Capital (but not to commence the liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Aggregate Capital) the Seller may do so as follows:
(i)    the Seller shall give the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Servicer written notice in the form of Annex F (each, a “Paydown Notice”) (A) at least one Business Day no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) prior to the date of such reduction for any reduction of the Aggregate Capital (other than Swingline Capital) less than or equal to $150,000,000 (or such greater amount as agreed to by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents), (B) at least 3 Business Days prior to the date of such reduction for any reduction of the Aggregate Capital (other than Swingline Capital) greater than $150,000,000, and each such Paydown Notice shall include, among other things, the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence and (C) with respect to Swingline Capital, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of such reduction for any reduction of Swingline Capital, and each such Paydown Notice shall include, among other things, the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence;
(ii)    on the proposed date of commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause Collections not to be Reinvested until the amount thereof not so Reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction; and
(iii)    the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of each Purchaser ratably according to its Capital, for payment to (x) if other than Swingline Capital, the Administrator (for the account of such Purchaser) on the next Weekly Settlement Date with respect to any Portions of Capital maintained by such Purchaser immediately following the related current Yield Period, and the Aggregate Capital (together with the Capital of any related Purchaser) shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to the Administrator (for the account of such Purchaser) only when in fact finally so paid and (y) if Swingline Capital, the Swingline Purchaser as a reduction in the amount of outstanding Swingline Capital;
provided, that:
(A)    if not relating to Swingline Capital, the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $100,000 for each Purchaser Group and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, and the entire Aggregate Capital after giving effect to such reduction shall be not less than $50,000,000; and
(B)    with respect to any Portion of Capital, the Seller shall choose a reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that to the extent practicable such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same Yield Period.
SECTION 5.    Fees. The Seller shall pay to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers in the related Purchaser Group in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 1.4(d) certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in one or more fee letter agreements, dated the Closing Date (or dated the date any such Purchaser and member of its related Purchaser
740334237 04351262
-13-



Group become a party hereto pursuant to an Assumption Agreement, a Transfer Supplement or otherwise), among the Servicer, the Seller, and the applicable Purchaser Agent, respectively, (as any such fee letter agreement may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, each, a “Purchaser Group Fee Letter”) and each of the Purchaser Group Fee Letters may be referred to collectively as, the “Fee Letters”).
SECTION 6.    Payments and Computations, Etc.
(a)    All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the day when due in same day funds (i) with respect to any payment other than in reduction of Capital, to the account for each Purchaser maintained by the applicable Purchaser Agent (or such other account as may be designated from time to time by such Purchaser Agent to the Seller and the Servicer) and (ii) with respect to any payment in reduction of Capital, to the account specified by the Administrator. All amounts received after 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.
(b)    The Administrator shall distribute any payments received by it hereunder in reduction of Capital for the account of any Purchaser to such Purchaser’s Purchaser Agent promptly following the Administrator’s receipt thereof. Unless the Administrator shall have received notice from the Seller prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrator for the account of the Purchasers hereunder that the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) will not make such payment (including because Collections are not available therefor), the Administrator may assume that the Seller has made or will make such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Purchaser Agents the amount due. In such event, if the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Committed Purchasers severally agrees to repay to the Administrator forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to the members of such Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrator, at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrator in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Purchaser Agent shall distribute any payments received by it hereunder in reduction of Capital for the account of the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group promptly following such Purchaser Agent’s receipt thereof, ratably in accordance with such Purchasers’ outstanding Capital. If the Seller and any Committed Purchaser shall pay such interest to the Administrator for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrator shall promptly remit to such Committed Purchaser the amount of such interest paid by such Committed Purchaser for such period. Any such payment by such Committed Purchaser shall be without prejudice to any claim such Committed may have against the Seller.
(c)    The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate,
740334237 04351262
-14-



payable on demand (in the case of payments by the Seller, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 1.4).
(d)    All computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of Discount, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.
SECTION 7.    Increased Costs.
(a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(A)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (other than reserve otherwise included in the determination of the Euro-Rate or LMIR hereunder), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Administrator, any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent, any Program Support Provider, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective holding companies (including bank holding companies) (each an “Affected Person”);
(B)    subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (excluding any Taxes that give rise to the payment of additional amounts under Section 1.9) on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(C)    impose on any Affected Person any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) (A) affecting the Pool Assets, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Program Support Agreement, any Purchase or any participation therein or (B) affecting its obligations or rights to make Purchases;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of (A) acting as the Administrator, a Purchaser Agent or a Purchaser hereunder or as a Program Support Provider with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) funding or maintaining any Purchase or Reinvestment or (C) maintaining its obligation to fund or maintain any Purchase or Reinvestment, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder, then, upon request of such Affected Person (or its Purchaser Agent), the Seller shall pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law affecting such Affected Person or any lending office of such Affected Person regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital as a consequence of (A) this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) the commitments of such Affected Person hereunder or under any related
740334237 04351262
-15-



Program Support Agreement, (C) the Purchases or Reinvestments made by such Affected Person or (D) any Capital, to a level below that which such Affected Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, upon request of such Affected Person (or its Purchaser Agent), the Seller will pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    Adoption of Changes in Law. The Seller acknowledges that any Affected Person may institute measures in anticipation of a Change in Law (including, without limitation, the imposition of internal charges on such Affected Person’s interests or obligations under any Transaction Document or Program Support Agreement), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the Seller under this Section 1.7 in connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such Change in Law, and the Seller agrees to pay such charges or compensation to such Affected Person, following demand therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.7, without regard to whether such effective date has occurred.
(d)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of an Affected Person (or its Purchaser Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section and delivered to the Seller, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 1.4, pay such Affected Person the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the first Weekly Settlement Date occurring after the Seller’s receipt of such certificate.
(e)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that if such Affected Party fails to make such demand within 180 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Affected Party shall, with respect to amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.7, only be entitled to payment under this Section 1.7 for amounts or losses incurred from and after the date 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Party does give such demand.
SECTION 8.    Funding Losses.
(a)    The Seller will compensate each Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.8 for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Purchaser in order to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital hereunder) as a result of (i) any repayment (in whole or in part) of any Portion of Capital of such Purchaser on any day other than a Monthly Settlement Date or Weekly Settlement Date or (ii) any Purchase or Swingline Purchase not being completed by the Seller in accordance with its request therefor pursuant to Section 1.2. Such losses, expenses and liabilities will include the amount, if any, by which (A) the additional Yield that would have accrued had such repayment or failure to Purchase not have occurred, exceeds (B) the income, if any, received by the applicable Purchaser.
740334237 04351262
-16-



(b)    A certificate of a Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent) setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser as specified in Section 1.8(a) and delivered to the Seller and the Administrator, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall pay such Purchaser’s related Purchaser Agent (for the account of such Purchaser) the amount shown as due on any such certificate on demand but subject to the priorities for payments set forth in Section 1.4.
SECTION 9.    Taxes. The Seller agrees that:
(a)    (i) Any and all payments by the Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (A) net income, branch profits or franchise taxes, in each case, (x) imposed on the Person receiving such payment by the Seller hereunder by the jurisdiction under whose laws such Person is organized or in which such Person’s principal office is located or any political subdivision thereof or (y) that are Other Connection Taxes and (B) any U.S. Federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Seller shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent, any Program Support Provider or the Administrator, then the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary to yield to such Person (after payment of all Taxes) an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(ii)    Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Seller, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Seller shall send to the Administrator for its own account or for the account of any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent or any Program Support Provider, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof or such other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator. If the Seller fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrator the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Seller shall indemnify the Administrator and/or any other Affected Person, as applicable, for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such party as a result of any such failure.
(b)    (i) Each Purchaser that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Seller and Administrator on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller or Administrator), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.
(ii)    Each Purchaser that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Purchaser”) as to which payments to be made under this Agreement are exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to Seller and Administrator a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or other applicable form, certificate or
740334237 04351262

document prescribed by the IRS or the United States certifying that payments hereunder to such Foreign Purchaser are entitled to such exemption or reduction in rate (a “Certificate of Withholding”). Any non-U.S. Person that seeks to become a Purchaser under this Agreement shall provide a Certificate of Withholding to Seller and Administrator prior to becoming a Purchaser hereunder. No non-U.S. Person may become a Purchaser hereunder if such Person fails to deliver a Certificate of Withholding in advance of becoming a Purchaser. If the Certificate of Withholding provided by a Purchaser at the time such Purchaser first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding taxes at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes and, accordingly, the Seller shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to such Purchaser, or to indemnify such Purchaser, in respect of such withholding taxes under this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller that it is a Foreign Purchaser and shall also promptly notify Seller of any change in its funding office.
(c)    Seller shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Purchaser in respect of United States withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) above if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Purchaser to comply with the provisions of paragraph (b) above for any reason (including by reason of a change in circumstances that renders the Purchaser unable to so qualify) other than (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof or (ii) an amendment, modification or revocation of any applicable tax treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case after the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Purchaser became a Purchaser hereunder).
(d)    If, solely as a result of an event in subparagraph (i) or (ii) of paragraph (c) after the Closing Date, a Purchaser (i) is unable to provide to Seller a Certificate of Withholding or (ii) makes any payment or becomes liable to make any payment on account of any Taxes with respect to payments by Seller hereunder, Seller may, at its option, continue to make payments to such Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement, which payments shall be made in accordance with paragraph (a) above. If Seller exercises its option under this paragraph (d), the applicable Purchaser agrees to take such steps as reasonably may be available to it under applicable tax laws and any applicable tax treaty or convention to obtain an exemption from, or reduction (to the lowest applicable rate) of, such Taxes, except to the extent that taking such a step would, in the sole determination of such Purchaser, be materially disadvantageous to such Purchaser.
(e)    If a payment made to a Purchaser hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to Seller and Administrator at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller or Administrator such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller or Administrator as may be necessary for Seller or Administrator to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such

-18-



Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
(f)    Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Section 1.9 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller and Administrator in writing of its legal inability to do so.
SECTION 10.    Inability to Determine Euro-Rate or LMIR. (a) If the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) determines before the first day of any Yield Period (or, solely with respect to LMIR, any day) (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally (i) deposits in dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Yield Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Yield Period, (ii) adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate or LMIR for such Yield Period (or portion thereof) or (iii) the Euro-Rate or LMIR does not accurately reflect the cost to any Purchaser (as determined by the related Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Agent) of maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Yield Period (or portion thereof), then the Administrator shall give notice thereof to the Seller. Thereafter, until the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR shall, on the last day of the then current Yield Period (or, solely with respect to LMIR, immediately), be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.
(b)    If, on or before the first day of any Yield Period (or, solely with respect to LMIR, any day), the Administrator shall have been notified by any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent that such Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Person with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate or LMIR, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR shall be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate either (i) on the last day of the then current Yield Period (or, solely with respect to LMIR, any day) if such Person may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR to such day, or (ii) immediately, if such
740334237 04351262
-19-



Person may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR to such day.
SECTION 11.    Extension of Facility Termination Date. The Seller may advise the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in writing of its desire to extend the then current Facility Termination Date set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof or determined pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof; provided that such request is made not more than 90 days prior to, and not less than 60 days prior to, the then current Facility Termination Date and provided, further, that no extension of the Facility Termination Date determined pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof with respect to any Purchaser shall be for a period of more than 364 days after the effective date of such extension. In the event that the Purchasers are all agreeable to such extension, the Administrator shall so notify the Seller in writing (it being understood that the Purchasers may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not less than 30 days prior to the then current Facility Termination Date and the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers, the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents in connection therewith (including reasonable Attorneys’ Costs) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event any Purchaser declines the request for such extension, such Purchaser (or the applicable Purchaser Agent on its behalf) shall so notify the Administrator and the Administrator shall so notify the Seller of such determination; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrator to notify the Seller of the determination to decline such extension shall not affect the understanding and agreement that the applicable Purchasers shall be deemed to have refused to grant the requested extension in the event the Administrator fails to affirmatively notify the Seller, in writing, of their agreement to accept the requested extension.
SECTION 12.    Intended Tax Treatment.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, all parties to this Agreement covenant and agree to treat the Purchases hereunder as debt for all federal, state, local and franchise tax purposes and agree not to take any position on any tax return in consistent with the foregoing.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS
SECTION 1.    Appointment of the Servicer.
(a)    The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section 4.1. Until the Administrator gives notice to FleetCor (in accordance with this Section 4.1) of the designation of a new Servicer, FleetCor is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) or shall (at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed FleetCor or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the material collection, servicing and administrative duties and obligations (other than indemnities and similar obligations) of the Servicer with respect to the Pool Receivables and Collections pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b)    Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a), FleetCor agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and FleetCor shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of related records (including all Contracts) and use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.
740334237 04351262

(c)    FleetCor acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator and each member in each Purchaser Group have relied on FleetCor’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, FleetCor agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer.
(d)    The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain solely liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrator and each Purchaser Group shall look solely to the Servicer for performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than an Originator, a Sub-Originator or an Affiliate thereof, the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.
SECTION 2.    Duties of the Servicer.
(a)    The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. The Servicer shall set aside for the accounts of the Seller and the Purchasers the amount of Collections to which each is entitled in accordance with Article I hereof. The Servicer, the Originators and the Sub-Originators may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and the related Contracts, as the Servicer, the Originators and the Sub-Originators may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or required under applicable laws, rules or regulations or the applicable Contract; provided, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable under this Agreement or limit the rights of any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent or the Administrator under this Agreement and (iii) if a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof is serving as the Servicer, FleetCor or such Affiliate may take such action only upon the prior approval of the Administrator. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Purchasers, in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrator (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is
740334237 04351262
-32-



FleetCor or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.
(b)    The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.
(c)    The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the later of: (i) the Facility Termination Date and (ii) the date on which all amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser Agents, each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder shall have been paid in full.
After such termination, if FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
SECTION 3.    Collection Account Arrangements. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall have entered into Collection Account Agreements with all of the Collection Account Banks covering each Collection Account (other than Transition Collection Accounts) and delivered original counterparts of each to the Administrator.  The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Transition Collection Account to be an Eligible Collection Account on or prior to the 180th day following the Closing Date. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) or shall (upon the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) at any time thereafter give (or, pursuant to the Interim Collection Account Administration Agreement, instruct the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent to give) notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrator (or, if applicable, the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent) is exercising its rights under the Collection Account Agreements and/or Interim Collection Account Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes transferred to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) or to the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Administrator and the Purchasers) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes redirected pursuant to the Administrator’s or the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Collection Account, and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Collection Account Agreement or Interim Collection Account Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrator or the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrator or Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the
740334237 04351262
-33-



Purchasers) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator, the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrator. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator or Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent takes control of any Collection Account or Lock-Box, the Administrator and Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrator, the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent, any member of any Purchaser Group, any Indemnified Party or Affected Person or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrator or Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and Article I (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder).
Each party hereto hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Interim Collection Account Administration Agreement and consents to the entry into the Interim Collection Account Administration Agreement by each of the parties thereto.
SECTION 4.    Enforcement Rights.
(a)    At any time following the occurrence of a Termination Event:
(i)    the Administrator may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or its designee,
(ii)    the Administrator may instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Purchaser Groups’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrator or its designee (on behalf of such Purchaser Groups), and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor, the Administrator (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors, and
(iii)    the Administrator may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrator or its designee (for the benefit of the Purchasers) at a place selected by the Administrator, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrator or its designee.

(b)    The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator (on behalf of each Purchaser Group), and irrevocably appoints the Administrator as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrator, after the occurrence of a Termination Event, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.
SECTION 5.    Responsibilities of the Seller.
(a)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. The Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or any of the Purchasers shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, Servicer, FleetCor, the Originators or the Sub-Originators thereunder.
(b)    FleetCor hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, FleetCor shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that FleetCor conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.
SECTION 6.    Servicing Fee. (a) Subject to clause (b), the Servicer shall be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables. The Purchasers’ Share of such fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.4(d), and the Seller’s Share of such fee shall be paid directly by the Seller.
(b)    If the Servicer ceases to be FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof, the servicing fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer.

(d)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrator or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.
ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 1.    Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the BP Card Issuing and Operating Agreement, which may be amended, modified, waived or supplemented in accordance with Section 2(m) of Exhibit IV of this Agreement), or consent to any departure by the Seller or the Servicer therefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrator, each of the Majority Purchaser Agents and the Swingline Purchaser, and, in the case of any amendment, by the other parties thereto; and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A) extend the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by the Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Discount, (C) reduce any fees payable to the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser pursuant to the applicable Purchaser Group Fee Letter, (D) change the amount of Capital of any Purchaser, any Purchaser’s pro rata share of the Purchased Interest or any Committed Purchaser’s Commitment, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of “Majority Purchaser Agents” or this Section 6.1, (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by the Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the definition of “Concentration Percentage,” “Concentration Reserve Percentage,” “Dilution Reserve Percentage,” “Eligible Receivable,” “Loss Reserve Percentage,” “Net Receivables Pool Balance,” “Purchased Interest,” “Termination Event,” “Total Reserves” or “Yield Reserve Percentage” or (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses. No failure on the part of the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents or the Administrator to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
SECTION 2.    Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile communication) and shall be personally delivered or sent by facsimile, or by overnight mail, to the intended party at the mailing address or facsimile number of such party set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof (or in any other document or agreement pursuant to which it is or became a party hereto), or at such other address or facsimile number as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto.

SECTION 3.    Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.
(a)    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Seller nor the Servicer may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior consent of the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents.
(b)    Register.    The Administrator, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, shall maintain a record of any assignment pursuant to Section 6.3(e) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated Discount) of the interests in the Receivables and rights under this Agreement owing to each Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller and the Administrator shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(c)    Participations. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any Purchaser may sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments that require the consent of all Purchasers.
(d)    Participant Register.    The Seller agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of the Sections 1.7 and 1.9 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 1.9(c); it being understood that the documentation required under Section 1.9(c) shall be delivered to the Purchaser who sells the participation rather than to the Seller or Administrator) to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 6.3(e), provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under the Section 1.7 or Section 1.9, with respect to any participation, than the Purchaser from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of any set-off rights provided to the Purchasers under this Agreement as though it were a Purchaser, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 6.11 as though it were a Purchaser. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated Discount) of each Participant’s interest in the Receivables and rights under this Agreement (the
740334237 04351262
-42-



Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser 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 any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest in Receivables and under this Agreement is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator shall have no responsibility for maintaining the Participant Register.
(e)    Assignments by Certain Committed Purchasers. Any Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Committed Purchaser”), reasonably acceptable to the related Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion, and, prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, with the consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any portion of its Commitment pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex D with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (each, a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Committed Purchaser, such selling Committed Purchaser, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and, if applicable, Seller. Any such assignment by Committed Purchaser cannot be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Seller, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Committed Purchaser to the selling Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, if any, such selling Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Committed Purchaser allocable to such Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Committed Purchaser transferred regardless of the purchase price, if any, paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Committed Purchaser as a “Committed Purchaser” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Committed Purchaser’s Commitment. Any Committed Purchaser may pledge or assign any of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of principal and interest) hereunder to any Federal Reserve Bank without notice to or consent of the Seller, the Servicer, any other Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent or the Administrator; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Committed Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute such pledgee or assignee for such Committed Purchaser as a party hereto.
In addition to the foregoing, any Committed Purchaser may, with the consent of the relevant Conduit Purchaser taking assignment and the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld), at any time assign to any Conduit Purchaser then included in its Purchaser Group all or any portion of such Committed Purchaser’s Capital together with its rights (including, without limitation, the right to receive related Discount and Fees and its related interest in the Pool Assets) and obligations (excluding such Committed Purchaser’s
740334237 04351262
-43-



Commitment, which shall be retained by such Committed Purchaser) with respect thereto; provided that, promptly following any such assignment, such Committed Purchaser (or its Purchaser Agent) shall deliver to the Administrator, the Servicer and the Seller written notice of such assignment specifying the portion of Capital so assigned and executed by such Committed Purchaser and the applicable Conduit Purchaser, which written notice shall be recorded in the Register pursuant to clause (b) above.
(f)    Assignments to Program Support Providers. Any Conduit Purchaser may at any time grant to one or more of its Program Support Providers, participating interests in its portion of the Purchased Interest. In the event of any such grant by such Conduit Purchaser of a participating interest to a Program Support Provider, such Conduit Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Seller agrees that each Program Support Provider of any Conduit Purchaser hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9.
(g)    Other Assignment by Conduit Purchasers. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Purchased Interest (or portion thereof), including without limitation to any collateral agent in connection with its commercial paper program and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Conduit Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Person, and upon such assignment such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided, however, that such Conduit Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Committed Purchaser and, so long as no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event is continuing, the Seller (such consent by the Seller not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), make any such transfer of its rights hereunder unless the assignee (i) (x) is a multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduit that is sponsored the Committed Purchaser (or an Affiliate thereof) for the assigning Conduit Purchaser or (y) is a Committed Purchaser or Liquidity Provider for the assigning Conduit Purchaser, (ii) has as its Purchaser Agent the Purchaser Agent of the assigning Conduit Purchaser and (iii) in the case of an assignee described in clause (i)(x) above, issues commercial paper or other Notes with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Purchaser. Any assigning Conduit Purchaser shall deliver to any assignee a Transfer Supplement with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, duly executed by such Conduit Purchaser, assigning any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest to its assignee. Such Conduit Purchaser shall promptly (i) notify each of the other parties hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the Purchased Interest and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights of such Conduit Purchaser hereunder. Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the Discount therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rate, determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Purchaser unless the Seller, the related Purchaser Agent and the assignee shall have agreed upon a different Discount).
SECTION 4.    Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) By way of clarification, and not of limitation, of Sections 1.7 or 3.1, the Seller shall pay to the Administrator and each member of
740334237 04351262
-44-



each Purchaser Group on demand all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including amendments or waivers of any provision) of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (ii) the sale of the Purchased Interest (or any portion thereof), (iii) the perfection (and continuation) of the Administrator’s rights in the Receivables, Collections and other Pool Assets, (iv) the enforcement by the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any member of any Purchaser Group party to this Agreement of the obligations of the Seller, the Servicer, the Originators or the Sub-Originators under the Transaction Documents or of any Obligor under a Receivable and (v) the maintenance by the Administrator of the Collection Accounts (and any related Lock-Box), including reasonable fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel for the Administrator and each member of each Purchaser Group relating to any of the foregoing or to advising the Administrator, any member of any Purchaser Group party to this Agreement or any related Program Support Provider about its rights and remedies under any Transaction Document or any related Funding Agreement and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in connection with the enforcement or administration of the Transaction Documents or any Funding Agreement. The Seller and Servicer shall, subject to the provisos set forth in Section 1(e) and Section 2(e) of Exhibit IV hereto, reimburse the Administrator and each member of each Purchaser Group for the cost of such Person’s auditors (which may be employees of such Person) auditing the books, records and procedures of the Seller or the Servicer. The Seller shall reimburse each Conduit Purchaser on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Conduit Purchaser or any shareholder of such Conduit Purchaser in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, including certain costs related to the auditing of such Conduit Purchaser’s books by certified public accountants, and the Rating Agencies and reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel of the Administrator and each member of each Purchaser Group, or any shareholder or administrator of such, for advice relating to such Conduit Purchaser’s operation. Administrator and each member of each Purchaser Group agree, however, that unless a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing all of such entities will be represented by a single law firm.
(b)    In addition, the Seller shall pay on demand any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to save each Indemnified Party and Affected Person harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.
SECTION 5.    No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments. (a) Each of the Seller, FleetCor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, each assignee of the Purchased Interest or any interest therein, and each Person that enters into a commitment to purchase the Purchased Interest or interests therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the latest maturing Note issued by such Conduit Purchaser is paid in full. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
740334237 04351262
-45-



(b)    Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Purchaser shall or shall be obligated to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such Conduit Purchaser has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay the Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Purchaser could issue Notes to refinance all outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Purchaser’s securitization program or (y) all Notes are paid in full. Any amount which such Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Purchaser for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Purchaser satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(c)    Each of FleetCor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, each assignee of the Purchased Interest or any interest therein and each Person that enters into a commitment to purchase the Purchased Interest or interests therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Seller any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the Final Payout Date; provided, however, that the Administrator shall not be prohibited from taking any such action with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.    GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION.
(a)    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF A SECURITY INTEREST OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b)    ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS.

AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 11.    Sharing of Recoveries. Each Purchaser agrees that if it receives any recovery, through set-off, judicial action or otherwise, on any amount payable or recoverable hereunder in a greater proportion than should have been received hereunder or otherwise inconsistent with the provisions hereof, then the recipient of such recovery shall purchase for cash an interest in amounts owing to the other Purchasers (as return of Capital or otherwise), without representation or warranty except for the representation and warranty that such interest is being sold by each such other Purchaser free and clear of any Adverse Claim created or granted by such other Purchaser, in the amount necessary to create proportional participation by the Purchaser in such recovery. If all or any portion of such amount is thereafter recovered from the recipient, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
SECTION 12.    Right of Setoff. Each Purchaser is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) to setoff, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Purchaser (including by any branches or agencies of such Purchaser) to, or for the account of, the Seller against amounts owing by the Seller hereunder (even if contingent or unmatured); provided that such Purchaser (or the related Purchaser Agent) shall notify Seller concurrently with such setoff.
SECTION 13.    Entire Agreement.

SECTION 16.    USA Patriot Act. Each of the Administrator and each of the Purchasers hereby notifies the Seller and the Servicer that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “PATRIOT Act”), the Administrator and the Purchasers may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Covered Entities, which information includes the name, address, tax identification number and other information regarding the Covered Entities that will allow the Administrator and the Purchasers to identify the Covered Entities in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 18.    BP Purchase Option. Not later than the date that is ninety (90) days prior to any exercise by BP of its “Option” or “Purchase Option” (in each case, described in clause 1(g) of Exhibit IV) the Seller and FleetCor shall provide the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent written notice thereof. On and after the date that is ninety (90) days prior to any exercise by BP of such “Option” or “Purchase Option,” the Seller shall cease purchasing or otherwise acquiring from FleetCor, and FleetCor shall cease selling or otherwise transferring to the Seller, under the Sale Agreement, new Receivables originated pursuant to the BP Card Issuing and Operating Agreement. On and after the date that is thirty (30) days prior to any exercise by BP of such “Option” or “Purchase Option,” all Receivables originated pursuant to the BP Card Issuing and Operating Agreement shall cease to constitute “Eligible Receivables” for all purposes. In order to permit BP’s exercise of such “Option” or “Purchase Option,” the Seller may (but shall not be required to), on the date thereof, sell to FleetCor any remaining Receivables it may then own that were originated pursuant to the BP Card Issuing and Operating Agreement; provided, that FleetCor shall pay the Seller a purchase price equal to fair market value (as reasonably agreed upon by FleetCor and the Seller) in cash, which purchase price shall constitute Collections for all purposes hereof.

(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

EXHIBIT I

To the extent, if any, that the Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee or the manager’s fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; it being understood that FleetCor, in its capacity as Servicer, shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including legal, agency and other fees;
8.    The Seller’s operating expenses will not be paid by FleetCor, any Originator, any Sub-Originator or any Affiliate thereof;
9.    The Seller will have its own separate stationery;
10.    The Seller’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of FleetCor, each Originator, each Sub-Originator and any other Affiliate thereof and in a manner such that it will not be difficult or costly to segregate, ascertain or otherwise identify the assets and liabilities of Seller;
11.    All financial statements of Holdings, FleetCor, any Originator or any Sub-Originator or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include Seller will disclose that (i) the Seller’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of the Receivables and Related Rights from the Originators and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such Receivables and Related Rights to certain purchasers party to this Agreement, (ii) the Seller is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of the Seller’s assets prior to any assets or value in the Seller becoming available to the Seller’s equity holders and (iii) the assets of the Seller are

IV-15



not available to pay creditors of FleetCor, the Originators, the Sub-Originators or any other Affiliates of FleetCor, the Originators or the Sub-Originators;
12.    The Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of Holdings, FleetCor, the Originators, the Sub-Originators or any Affiliates thereof;

The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which Holdings, FleetCor or any Affiliate thereof (other than FleetCor in its capacity as the Servicer) has independent access. The Seller is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of Holdings, FleetCor, the Originators, the Sub-Originators or any Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof. The Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Seller and such Affiliate;
14.    The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with Holdings, FleetCor, the Originators, the Sub-Originators (and any Affiliates thereof). Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller. Neither the Seller on the one hand, nor FleetCor or any Originator, any Sub-Originator, on the other hand, will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller, Holdings, FleetCor, the Originators and the Sub-Originators will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity;
15.    The Seller shall have a separate area from Holdings, FleetCor, each Originator and each Sub-Originator for its business (which may be located at the same address as such entities) and to the extent that any other such entity have offices in the same location, there shall be a fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs between them, and each shall bear its fair share of such expenses; and
16.    To the extent not already covered in paragraphs (a) through (o) above, Seller shall comply and/or act in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Sale Agreement.

If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.
(b)    Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

(c)    Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan.

(d)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent

(b)    Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; AutoExtension Letters of Credit.
(i)    Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Company delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof and in the absence of specification of currency shall be deemed a request for a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.
(ii)    Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Company and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Parent or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. The L/C Issuer may, at its option, make any Letter of Credit available by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of the L/C Issuer to issue such Letter of Credit; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company and the Parent or such Subsidiary to reimburse the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit in accordance with the
lxx
CHAR1\1792192v4




terms of this Agreement. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving A Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii)    If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “AutoExtension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such AutoExtension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelvemonth period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “NonExtension Notice Date”) in each such twelvemonth period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an AutoExtension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving A Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the NonExtension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Pro Rata Facilities Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving A Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.03 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
(iv)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i)    Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, the Company shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such currency, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have notified the L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly
lxxi
CHAR1\1792192v4




following the determination thereof. Not later than (x) 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, or (y) if the Company has not received notice of such payment from the L/C Issuer by 11:00 a.m. on such date of payment by the L/C Issuer, 10:00 a.m. on the next succeeding Business Day following the date the Company receives notice of such payment from the L/C Issuer (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the second sentence in this Section 2.03(c)(i) and (B) the Dollar amount paid by the Company, whether on or after the Honor Date, shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, as applicable, equal to the drawing, the Company agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify the L/C Issuer for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, as applicable, in the full amount of the drawing. If the Company fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving A Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving A Loans that are Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.03 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, (A) the Total Revolving A Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving A Commitments and (B) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii)    Each Revolving A Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollardenominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving A Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving A Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in Dollars.
lxxii
CHAR1\1792192v4




(iii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving A Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv)    Until each Revolving A Lender funds its Revolving A Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
(v)    Each Revolving A Lender’s obligation to make Revolving A Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving A Lender’s obligation to make Revolving A Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.03 (other than delivery of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi)    If any Revolving A Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving A Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving A Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving A Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Repayment of Participations.
lxxiii
CHAR1\1792192v4




(i)    At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving A Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving A Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving A Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)    Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Parent, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv)    waiver by the L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for the L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Company or any waiver by the L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Company;
lxxiv
CHAR1\1792192v4




(v)    honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;
(vi)    any payment made by the L/C Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC or the ISP, as applicable;
(vii)    any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtorinpossession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
(viii)    any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or
(ix)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary.
The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s instructions or other irregularity, the Company will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Company shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f)    Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders , the Required Lenders or the Required Pro Rata Facilities Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company
lxxv
CHAR1\1792192v4




may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit unless the L/C Issuer is prevented or prohibited from so paying as a result of any order or directive of any court or other Governmental Authority. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.
(g)    Applicability of ISP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to any Loan Party or Subsidiary for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Loan Parties and Subsidiaries shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFTIFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.
(h)    Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving A Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving A Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the
lxxvi
CHAR1\1792192v4




Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Pro Rata Facilities Lenders while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
(i)    Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Company shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit) and on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recentlyended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. In addition, the Company shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(j)    Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(k)    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, the Parent or a Subsidiary, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

2.08    Interest.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan plus (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost, (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for such Base Rate Loan, (iii) each Domestic Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Daily Floating Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iv) each Foreign Swing Line Loan shall bear interest at the Overnight Rate plus the Applicable Rate. To the extent that any calculation of interest or any fee required to be paid under this Agreement shall be based on (or result in) a calculation that is less than zero, such calculation shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement.
(b)    (i)    If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, all outstanding Obligations hereunder shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws from the date such amount becomes past due to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid.
(ii)    If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then such amount shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws from the date such amount becomes past due to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid.

xcii
CHAR1\1792192v4




(c)    Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.09    Fees.
In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03:
(a)    Commitment Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to the Aggregate Revolving A Commitments, the product of (A) the Applicable Rate times (B) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving A Commitments exceed the sum of (y) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving A Loans and (z) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15, (ii) with respect to the Aggregate Revolving B Commitments, the product of (A) the Applicable Rate times (B) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving B Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of Revolving B Loans, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15, and (iii) with respect to the Aggregate Revolving C Commitments, the product of (A) the Applicable Rate times (B) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving C Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of Revolving C Loans, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the applicable Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Third Amendment Effective Date, and on the Maturity Date for the Revolving A Loans, the Revolving B Loans and the Revolving C Loans; provided, that (A) no Commitment Fee shall accrue on the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and (B) any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Company so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. For purposes of clarification, (x) Domestic Swing Line Loans shall not be considered outstanding for purposes of determining the unused portion of the Aggregate Revolving A Commitments, and (y) Foreign Swing Line Loans shall not be considered outstanding for purposes of determining the unused portion of the Aggregate Revolving B Commitments.
(b)    Fee Letter. The Company shall pay to BofA Securities, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever.
(c)    Revolving D Commitment Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving D Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Revolving D Commitments, a commitment fee (the “Revolving D Commitment
xciii
CHAR1\1792192v4




Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the product of (i) 0.375% per annum times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving D Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of Revolving D Loans, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15. The Revolving D Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the applicable Availability Period for the Revolving D Commitments, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, and on the Maturity Date for the Revolving D Loans; provided, that (A) no Revolving D Commitment Fee shall accrue on the Revolving D Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and (B) any Revolving D Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving D Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Company so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Revolving D Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears.
2.10    Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.
(a)    All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) and for Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Sterling shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b)    If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Company or for any other reason, the Company or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Company as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Company shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(h) or 2.08(b) or under Article IX. The Company’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments of all of the Lenders and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
xciv
CHAR1\1792192v4




2.11    Evidence of Debt.
(a)    The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, be in the form of Exhibit C (a “Revolving Note”), (ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, be in the form of Exhibit D (a “Swing Line Note”), (iii) in the case of the Term Loans, be in the form of Exhibit E1 (a “Term Note”), and (iv) in the case of an Incremental Term Loan, be in the form of Exhibit E2 (an “Incremental Term Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b)    In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.12    Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a)    General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Foreign Swing Line Loans and Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Foreign Swing Line Loans and Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, such Borrower shall make
xcv
CHAR1\1792192v4




such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of such currency’s payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b)    (i)    Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii)    Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
xcvi
CHAR1\1792192v4




demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(c)    Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d)    Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).
(e)    Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
2.13    Sharing of Payments by Lenders.
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it (excluding any amounts applied by the Swing Line Lender to outstanding Swing Line Loans) resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i)    if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)    the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the
xcvii
CHAR1\1792192v4




express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.14 or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
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 such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
2.14    Cash Collateral.
(a)    Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, or (iii) the Company shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02(c), the Borrowers (other than the Revolving C Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries) shall, in each case, immediately following any request by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers (other than the Revolving C Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)    Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower (other than the Revolving C Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries), and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure or the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, as applicable, the Borrowers (other than the Revolving C Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries) or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
(c)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05,
xcviii
CHAR1\1792192v4

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees. The Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or any Revolving D Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.09(c) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Foreign Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Revolving B Lenders that are nonDefaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the Revolving B Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving B Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Revolving B Loans and participations in Foreign Swing Line Loans of any nonDefaulting Lender to exceed such nonDefaulting Lender’s Revolving B Commitment. Subject to Section 11.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a

If the Company, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
2.16    Designated Borrowers.
(a)    The Company may at any time, upon not less than ten Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any additional Wholly Owned Foreign Subsidiary of the Company (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit J (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”); provided that FleetCor Australia and FleetCor New Zealand shall be the only Designated Borrowers under the Aggregate Revolving C Commitments and all other Designated Borrowers may only be Designated Borrowers under the Aggregate Revolving A Commitments and the Aggregate Revolving B Commitments. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that would be obligated to make Loans to such Designated Borrower shall have approved such Applicant Borrower as a Designated Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or denied or require the payment of a fee or other consideration, but shall be subject to receipt by such Lenders of all documentation and other information that they have reasonably requested and have reasonably determined is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and antimoney laundering rules

If the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that would be obligated to make Loans to such Designated Borrower agree that an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Loans hereunder, then promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit K (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Company and the applicable Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of such Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that no Loan Notice or Letter of Credit Application may be submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five Business Days after such effective date.
(b)    The Obligations of the Designated Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries shall be joint and several in nature (unless such joint and several liability (i) shall result in adverse tax consequences to any Borrower or (ii) is not permitted by any Law applicable to such Designated Borrower, in which either such case, the liability of such Designated Borrower shall be several in nature) regardless of which such Person actually receives Credit Extensions hereunder or the amount of such Credit Extensions received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts for such Credit Extensions on its books and records. Each of the obligations of each Designated Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary with respect to Credit Extensions made to it, and each such Designated Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability (if any) of such Designated Borrower hereunder, with respect to Credit Extensions made to and other Obligations owing by the other Designated Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such obligations shall be primary obligations of each such Designated Borrower. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein or in any Loan Document (including any Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement), (a) no Designated Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary shall be obligated with respect to any Obligations of the Company or of any Domestic Subsidiary, (b) the Obligations owed by a Designated Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary shall be several and not joint with the Obligations of the Company or of any Domestic Subsidiary, (c) no Designated Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary shall be obligated as a Guarantor under the Guaranty with respect to the Obligations of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary, (d) the Obligations owed by a Designated Borrower that is a Revolving A/B Borrower (each such Designated Borrower, a “Revolving A/B Designated Borrower”) shall be several and not joint with the Obligations of the Company or of any Designated Borrower that is a Revolving C Borrower (each such Designated Borrower, a “Revolving C Designated Borrower”), (e) the Obligations owed by a Revolving C Designated Borrower shall be several and not joint with the Obligations of the Company or of any Revolving A/B Designated Borrower, (f) no Revolving A/B Designated Borrower shall be obligated as a Guarantor under the Guaranty with respect to the Obligations of any Revolving C Designated Borrower, and (g) no Revolving C Designated Borrower shall be obligated as a Guarantor under the Guaranty with respect to the Obligations of any Revolving A/B Designated Borrower.

Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given to or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given to or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.
(d)    The Company may from time to time, upon not less than ten Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination.

(c)    The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Company and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Commitment or Extended Term Loan shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date for the Revolving Commitments so extended or the Term Loans or

(d)    In connection with any Extension, the Company, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into, and the Lenders agree that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended by, any Extension Amendment entered into in connection with any Extension to the extent (and only to the extent) the Administrative Agent deems necessary in order to (i) reflect the existence and terms of such Extension, (ii) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of such Extension, and (iii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18.

(C)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Third Amendment Effective Date.
(iii)    Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the redesignation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that any Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all outofpocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
3.02    Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (whether denominated in Dollars or in any other currency) or the Daily Floating Eurocurrency Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate or the Daily Floating Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any other currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or Domestic Swing Line Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (y) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay all Domestic Swing Line Loans and (z) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the
cx
CHAR1\1792192v4




Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03    Inability to Determine Rates.
If in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, or in connection with any request for a Domestic Swing Line Loan, (a) (i) the Administrative Agent determines that (A) deposits (whether in Dollars or in any other applicable currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (B) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount of such Domestic Swing Line Loans, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining (A) the Eurocurrency Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or in any other applicable currency) or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or (B) the Daily Floating Eurocurrency Rate for any proposed Domestic Swing Line Loan (in each case with respect to clause (a) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the Daily Floating Eurocurrency Rate with respect to a proposed Domestic Swing Line Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods), (y) the obligation of the Swing Line Lender to make or maintain Domestic Swing Line Loans shall be suspended, and (z) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or Domestic Swing Line Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein to the extent available (or, in the case of a pending request for a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars the Company and the Lenders may establish a mutually acceptable alternative rate).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in this section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company and (except in the case of Domestic Swing Line Loans) the Required Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Company that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based
cxi
CHAR1\1792192v4




upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Company written notice thereof.
3.04    Increased Costs.
(a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except (A) any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth below) or the L/C Issuer;
(ii)    subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer);
(iii)    result in the failure of the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, to represent the cost to any Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans; or
(iv)    impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London (or other applicable) 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;
(v)    and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made
cxii
CHAR1\1792192v4




by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company will pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e)    Additional Reserve Requirements. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan and each Domestic Swing Line Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Domestic Swing Line Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.
cxiii
CHAR1\1792192v4




3.05    Compensation for Losses.
Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly compensate (or cause the applicable Borrower to compensate) such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a)    any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b)    any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the applicable Borrower;
(c)    any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars on its scheduled due date or any payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) in a different currency from such Loan or Letter of Credit drawing; or
(d)    any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 11.13;
including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Company shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company (or the applicable Borrower) to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Base Rate used in determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
3.06    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer may make any Credit Extension to any Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the
cxiv
CHAR1\1792192v4




notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Company hereby agrees to pay (or to cause the applicable Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Company may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.
3.07    LIBOR Successor Rate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Company) that the Company or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that: (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; (b) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or (c) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 3.07, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR; then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) shall be suspended, and (y) the Eurocurrency Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, in the case of any request for a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.
cxv
CHAR1\1792192v4




Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

Fourth, to (a) payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, (b) payment of breakage, termination or other payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Swap Contract between any Loan Party or Subsidiary and any Swap Bank, to the extent such Swap Contract is permitted by Section 8.03(d), (c) payments of amounts due under any Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party or Subsidiary and any Treasury Management Bank and (d) Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among the Lenders (and, in the case of such Swap Contracts and Treasury Management Agreements, Swap Banks or Treasury Management Banks, as applicable) and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Company or as otherwise required by Law.
Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.14, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the application of amounts received on account of the Obligations as otherwise set forth above in this Section.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Swap Contracts and Treasury Management Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received a Secured Party Designation Notice, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Swap Bank or Treasury Management Bank, as the case may be. Each Swap Bank or Treasury Management Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article X for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are incidental thereto.

remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such coagents, subagents and attorneysinfact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
10.03    Exculpatory Provisions.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger, as applicable, shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.

(a)    shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)    shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(c)    shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, to any Lender or the L/C Issuer any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to, or in the possession of, the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any of their Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by

In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
10.05    Delegation of Duties.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment.

11.06    Successors and Assigns.
(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

(B)    in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the 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 $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any revolving credit facility provided hereunder and $1,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of any term loan facility provided hereunder, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
(ii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A)    the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and provided, further, that the Company’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the credit facilities provided herein;
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded commitment to a term loan facility provided hereunder or any Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable credit facility subject to such assignment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any term loan facility to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
clxvii
CHAR1\1792192v4




(C)    the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and
(D)    the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for (i) any assignment in respect of a Revolving A Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving A Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, and (ii) any assignment in respect of a Revolving B Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving B Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.
(iii)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(iv)    No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural person.
(v)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(vi)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
clxviii
CHAR1\1792192v4




under this Agreement with respect to the Loans and Commitments assigned, except that this clause (vi) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among any revolving credit facility or term loan facility provided hereunder on a nonpro rata basis.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section.
(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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 addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent,
clxix
CHAR1\1792192v4




the other Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (viii) of the Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant.
Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 11.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (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 any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.1031(c) of the United States 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(f)    (A)    Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its
clxx
CHAR1\1792192v4




Revolving A Commitment and Revolving A Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, upon thirty days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (1) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (2) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
(B)    Resignation as Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving A Commitment and its Revolving B Commitment, and all of its Revolving A Loans and Revolving B Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, upon thirty days’ notice to the Company, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Swing Line Lender. If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor Swing Line Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender.
11.07    Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives and to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor) under any Swap Contract relating to Loans outstanding under this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any selfregulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any

other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as (or at least as restrictive as) those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Loan Party and its obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Company, (i) to any actual or prospective credit insurance provider relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, or (j) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material nonpublic information concerning the Parent or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material nonpublic information and (c) it will handle such material nonpublic information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.
11.08    Setoff.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
clxxii
CHAR1\1792192v4




Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
11.09    Interest Rate Limitation.
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 nonusurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative 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 Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
11.10    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof in accordance with Section 5.01 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
11.11    Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, 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.

11.12    Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
11.13    Replacement of Lenders.
If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or (iii) a Lender is a NonConsenting Lender, or (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a)    the Company shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);
(b)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company or applicable Designated Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(d)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(e)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a NonConsenting Lender’s failure to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document, the applicable assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided that the failure by such NonConsenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such NonConsenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of such NonConsenting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line
clxxiv
CHAR1\1792192v4




Loans pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such NonConsenting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
11.14    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
(a)    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 51401 AND SECTION 51402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

(c)    WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
(d)    SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN
clxxv
CHAR1\1792192v4




SECTION 11.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
11.15    Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.
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    Electronic Execution.
The words “delivery,” “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Document or any other document executed in connection herewith shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paperbased recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary neither the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer nor any Lender is under any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender pursuant to procedures approved by it and provided further without limiting the foregoing, upon the request of any party, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include use or acceptance by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each of the Lenders of a manually signed paper document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement (each a “Communication”) which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.
11.17    USA PATRIOT Act.
Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 10756 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or
clxxvi
CHAR1\1792192v4




the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act. Each Loan Party shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and antimoney laundering rules and regulations, including the Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
11.18    No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship.
In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’slength commercial transactions between each Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) each Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) each Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary, for each Borrower or any of Affiliates or any other Person and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each Lender and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby (i) waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty and (ii) agrees not to assert any fiduciary or similar duty is owed to it by the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender, in each case in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
11.19    Judgment Currency.
If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater
clxxvii
CHAR1\1792192v4




than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
11.20    Acknowledgement and Consent to BailIn of Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the writedown and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any WriteDown and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bailin Action on any such liability, including, if applicable, (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the writedown and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
11.21    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs .
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under such U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under such U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of
clxxviii
CHAR1\1792192v4




the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
