The Chapter 11 Cases are jointly administered under the caption “In re WeWork Inc., et al.
 
Debtor‑in‑Possession Credit Agreement
 
On December 19, 2023, following approval by the Bankruptcy Court (the “DIP Order”), WeWork Companies U.S. LLC (the “Borrower”) and certain other Debtors entered into a senior secured first priority debtor‑in‑possession “last out” term loan C facility in an aggregate principal amount of $671.2 million (the “Term Loans” and such facility, the “Junior TLC Facility”) and a senior secured first priority cash collateralized debtor‑in‑possession “first out” letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount, plus any unreimbursed drawings thereunder, not to exceed, in the case of Goldman Sachs International Bank (“Goldman Sachs”), $370.0 million and, in the case of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), $280.0 million at any time outstanding (the “Senior LC Facility” and, together with the Junior TLC Facility, the “DIP Facilities”), pursuant to a senior secured debtor‑in‑possession credit agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, each as an Issuing Bank, Softbank Vision Fund II‑2 L.P. (“SVF II”), as the Junior TLC Facility Lender, Goldman Sachs, as Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent and Shared Collateral Agent, JPMorgan, as an additional collateral agent, and SVF II as the Junior TLC Facility Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8‑K (this “Report”) shall have the meanings given to them in the DIP Credit Agreement attached as an exhibit to this Report and incorporated herein by reference.
 
The Letters of Credit under the Senior LC Facility will be used for purposes permitted by orders of the Bankruptcy Court and the DIP Credit Agreement, including for working capital needs and general corporate purposes, and the Term Loans will be used to cash fund LC Cash Collateral to support the Senior LC Facility.
 
The maturity date of the Junior TLC Facility (the “Junior TLC Facility Maturity Date”) is the earliest of (i) the Senior LC Facility Date of Full Satisfaction, (ii) July 17, 2024 (or such later date as the Junior TLC Facility Lender may agree in its sole discretion), (iii) the date on which the Term Loans have been voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to, and in accordance with, the DIP Credit Agreement and (iv) the date on which all Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to, and in accordance with, the DIP Credit Agreement.
 
The maturity date of the Senior LC Facility is the earliest of (i) July 16, 2024, unless earlier terminated or extended for a one-month period, subject to certain conditions set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement, (ii) the effective date of a Plan of Reorganization or liquidation in the Chapter 11 Cases, (iii) the consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the WeWork Group Members pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, (iv) the date of termination of any Issuing Bank’s Issuing Commitments and the acceleration of any obligations under the Senior LC Facilities Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereunder, (v) dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases into a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and (vi) the occurrence of the Junior TLC Facility Maturity Date.
 
Interest shall not be payable on any drawing paid under any Letter of Credit or any other Senior LC Facility Credit Agreement Obligations that is reimbursed with LC Cash Collateral. If a drawing is not repaid with LC Cash Collateral as a result of insufficient LC Cash Collateral or otherwise reimbursed within one business day of the Borrower’s receipt of notice, then interest will accrue on the reimbursement obligation at the ABR. The Junior TLC Facility will accrue a running fee on the outstanding principal amount thereof in accordance with the RSA, and both the Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations and the Senior LC Facility Credit Agreement Obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement will be subject to an additional 2.00% of interest per annum during the period in which any principal of, or interest on, any loan or reimbursement obligation or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower in respect of such Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations or Senior LC Facility Credit Agreement Obligations, as applicable, is not paid when due.
 

The DIP Credit Agreement includes customary conditions precedent, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default for financings of this type and size. The Borrower’s obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain other Debtors that are material domestic subsidiaries of the Borrower and are secured by a security interest in, and lien on, substantially all property (subject to certain exceptions) of the Borrower and such subsidiary guarantors, including the LC Cash Collateral. The DIP Credit Agreement also contains customary covenants that limit the ability of the Borrower and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional subordinated or junior indebtedness, permit liens to exist on their assets and sell assets. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement.

(iv)          Each of the Junior TLC Facility Lender and the Required Consenting AHG Noteholders shall have consented in writing, in their sole and absolute discretion, to the Borrower LC Cash Collateral Release (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the use of proceeds thereof); and
 
40

(v)          The Borrower shall have delivered to the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent, the Junior TLC Facility Lender and each Issuing Bank a written notice requesting such Borrower LC Cash Collateral Release by 10:00 am (New York City time) at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as each applicable Issuing Bank and the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent may agree in each of their sole discretion) prior to the date of the requested Borrower LC Cash Collateral Release and certifying as to each requirement under clauses (i) through (iii) above.  Each applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice requesting a Borrower LC Cash Collateral Release with a confirmation that such release conforms with the Cash Collateral Release Requirement (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, until receipt of such confirmation, such notice may be rescinded by the Borrower in its discretion), and then each Issuing Bank, together with the Senior Tranche Administrative Agent, shall make the requested transfers or release of LC Cash Collateral to effectuate such Borrower LC Cash Collateral Release within three (3) Business Day thereafter.
 
It is understood and agreed that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Borrower LC Cash Collateral Release constitute a reduction of (or result in a reduction of) the Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations.
 
(g)          In the event that any beneficiary of any Letters of Credit returns the proceeds of any Letter of Credit disbursement to the Borrower or another WeWork Group Member (such amounts, the “Returned LC Disbursements”) (i) the Borrower shall use its reasonable best efforts to have any Returned LC Disbursement funded directly into an LC Cash Collateral Account and (ii) to the extent such amount is not funded into an LC Cash Collateral Account, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation in clause (i), the Borrower shall cause such Returned LC Disbursements to be deposited as LC Cash Collateral into one or more LC Cash Collateral Accounts within three (3) Business Days of receiving such Returned LC Disbursements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Additional Collateral Agent’s security interest (whether before or after a Deemed Assignment) in such Returned LC Disbursements, regardless of whether or not they have been funded into an LC Cash Collateral Account, shall have the priority and protections afforded to the Additional Collateral Agents as if such Returned LC Disbursements were LC Cash Collateral; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, such Returned LC Disbursements shall not constitute LC Cash Collateral until such amounts are deposited into a LC Cash Collateral Account.
 
2.5          Interest Rates, Payment Dates.
 
(a)          Interest shall not be payable on any drawing paid under any Letter of Credit or any other Senior LC Facility Credit Agreement Obligations that is reimbursed with LC Cash Collateral.  If a drawing paid under any Letter of Credit is not reimbursed with LC Cash Collateral as a result of there being an insufficient amount of LC Cash Collateral available therefor, then interest on such Reimbursement Obligation shall accrue at the rate specified in Section 3.5. If all or a portion of any amount of any Senior LC Facility Credit Agreement Obligations that are not reimbursed with LC Cash Collateral are not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace period), all outstanding Senior LC Facility Credit Agreement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise applicable plus 2%, in each case, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment) (or, in the event there is no applicable rate, 2% per annum in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to LC Disbursements from time to time).

(d)          Interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.5 shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, or if earlier, each prepayment date pursuant to Section 2.4 or on the applicable Termination Date.

In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Applicable Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time in consultation with the Borrower and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided, further, that such amendment would not result in material adverse Tax consequences to the Borrower and/or its affiliates or direct or indirect beneficial owners, as reasonably determined by the Borrower in consultation with the Applicable Agent.
 
(c)          Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Applicable Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Issuing Banks of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

2.8         Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.
 
(a)          All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Applicable Agent, for the account of the Issuing Banks and Junior TLC Facility Lender, at the Funding Office (unless otherwise provided herein, including in payments made by debiting an LC Cash Collateral Account), in Dollars (except as otherwise provided herein) and immediately available funds.  The Applicable Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Issuing Banks or the Junior TLC Facility Lender pursuant to Section 9.7.  If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.
 
(b)          Unless the Applicable Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Applicable Agent, the Applicable Agent may assume that the Borrower are making such payment, and the Applicable Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Issuing Banks or the Junior TLC Facility Lender their applicable respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Applicable Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Applicable Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Applicable Agent or any Issuing Banks or the Junior TLC Facility Lender against the Borrower.
 
(c)          If any Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.10(e) or 9.7 and such failure is continuing, then the Applicable Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Applicable Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank or Junior TLC Facility Lender for the benefit of the Applicable Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank or Junior TLC Facility Lender to satisfy such Issuing Bank’s or Junior TLC Facility Lender’s obligations, as applicable, to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Applicable Agent in its discretion.
 
2.9         Requirements of Law.
 
(a)          If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Issuing Bank or other Creditor Party with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall :
 
(i)          subject any Creditor Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
 
(ii)          impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit (or participations therein) by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Issuing Bank; or
 
44

(iii)          impose on such Issuing Bank any other condition (other than Taxes);
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Issuing Bank, by an amount that such Issuing Bank deems to be material, of issuing Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Issuing Bank, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be required to further pay such Issuing Bank for any additional Taxes imposed by reason of such payments. If any Issuing Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled (and any related calculations).
 
(b)          If any Issuing Bank shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Issuing Bank with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Issuing Bank’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Issuing Bank or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Issuing Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Issuing Bank to the Borrower (with a copy to the Applicable Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Bank or such corporation for such reduction.
 
(c)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.
 
(d)          A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.9 submitted by any Issuing Bank to the Borrower (with a copy to the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.9, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.9 for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.  The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.
 
45

2.10       Taxes.
 
(a)          Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10), the amounts received with respect to this Agreement by the applicable Creditor Party shall equal the sum which would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
 
(b)          Without duplication of any Tax paid under Section 2.10(a), the Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Applicable Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
 
(c)          As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.10, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Applicable Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Agent.
 
(d)          The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Creditor Party, within 10 days after written demand therefor specifying the amount of such Indemnified Taxes, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.10) payable or paid by such Creditor Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Creditor Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Creditor Party (with a copy to the Applicable Agent), or by the Applicable Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Creditor Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(e)          Each Issuing Bank shall severally indemnify the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Issuing Bank (but, in the case of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which the Credit Parties are responsible pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10, only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so) and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Applicable Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Issuing Bank by the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Issuing Bank under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
 
46

(f)          (i) Any Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Applicable Agent, at the time or times and in the manner prescribed by applicable law and such other time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Applicable Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Applicable Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Applicable Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Applicable Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Applicable Agent to determine whether or not such Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.10(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in such Issuing Bank’s or the Junior TLC Facility Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender.
 
(ii)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
 

(A)
any Non-U.S. Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender (each, a “Non-U.S. Creditor”), to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Applicable Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Creditor becomes an Issuing Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of either the Borrower or the Applicable Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

48


(D)
For the avoidance of doubt, each person that shall become an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 2.10(f).
 
Each Issuing Bank and or the Junior TLC Facility Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Applicable Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
(iii)          On or prior to the Closing Date, the Applicable Agent shall deliver to the Borrower either (A) a duly completed original of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Applicable Agent is a U.S. Person or (B) (i) a duly completed original IRS W-8ECI (or any successor form) or Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) with respect to payments received by it as a beneficial owner and (ii) a duly completed original of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying (A) in Part I that the Applicable Agent is a U.S. branch of a foreign bank and certifying in Part VI, Line 19.b., that the Applicable Agent agrees to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to any payments made to it under any Credit Document or (B) that it is a qualified intermediary that assumes primary withholding responsibility under Chapters 3 and 4 and primary Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding responsibility for payments to such account.  The Applicable Agent agrees that if such IRS Form W-9, W-8ECI, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
(g)          If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.10 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
 
49

(h)          Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Applicable Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Issuing Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Credit Documents.
 
(i)          For purposes of this Section 2.10 (and related definitions) and references in this Agreement to this Section 2.10, the term “Issuing Bank” includes any Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent and any Arranger, and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
 
2.11      Change of Lending Office.  Each Issuing Bank agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to indemnification or payment under Section 2.9 or 2.10 with respect to such Issuing Bank, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to mitigate or reduce such indemnifiable or payable amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue), acting in good faith, which reasonable efforts may include designating or assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to another lending office, branch or affiliate, with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation or assignment is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Issuing Bank, cause such Issuing Bank and its lending offices to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.11 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.9 or 2.10(a).
 
2.12      Replacement of Issuing Banks.  The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Issuing Bank that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.9 or 2.10 or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount (including to any Governmental Authority) pursuant to Section 2.10 or (b) becomes a Defaulting Issuing Bank; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Issuing Bank shall have taken no action under Section 2.11 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.9 or 2.10, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all amounts owing to such replaced Issuing Bank on or prior to the date of replacement, and in connection therewith, shall pay to the replaced Issuing Bank in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (x) all LC Disbursements that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such replaced Issuing Bank, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (y) all accrued but unpaid fees owing to the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to this Agreement, and the Borrower will have arranged for any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such replaced Issuing Bank to either be returned to the replaced Issuing Bank for cancellation, or, if acceptable to the replaced Issuing Bank, backstopped by the replacement Issuing Bank or cash collateralized in a manner that would satisfy the requirements under the Senior LC Facility Date of Full Satisfaction with respect to such Issuing Bank, (v) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the replaced Issuing Bank, (vi) the replaced Issuing Bank shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, including, for the avoidance of doubt, reflecting such replacement in the Issuing Bank Register (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to in Section 10.6), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.9 or 2.10, as the case may be, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Applicable Agent or any other Issuing Bank shall have against the replaced Issuing Bank.  Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Applicable Agent and the assignee, and that the Issuing Bank required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective.
 
50

2.13     Defaulting Issuing Banks.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Issuing Bank becomes a Defaulting Issuing Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Issuing Bank is a Defaulting Issuing Bank:
 
(a)          Fees shall cease to accrue on the unutilized portion of the Issuing Commitment of such Defaulting Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.3.
 
(b)          In the event that the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Banks each agree that a Defaulting Issuing Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Issuing Bank to be a Defaulting Issuing Bank, then such Defaulting Issuing Bank shall no longer be considered a Defaulting Issuing Bank.
 
Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower’ right to replace a Defaulting Issuing Bank pursuant to this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies available to the Borrower against such Defaulting Issuing Bank under this Agreement, at law, in equity or by statute.
 
SECTION 3.          LETTERS OF CREDIT
 
3.1         Issuing Commitment.
 
(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3, each applicable Issuing Bank, agrees to issue Letters of Credit at the request of the Borrower as the applicant thereof, for the benefit of the beneficiary thereof which shall not be any of the Credit Parties or their respective affiliates, for the support of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries’ obligations on any Business Day during the Commitment Period in such form as may be reasonably approved from time to time by such Issuing Bank; provided that such Issuing Bank shall not be permitted to issue any Letter of Credit if, after immediately giving effect to such issuance, (i) (x) the Minimum Cash Collateral Requirement would not be satisfied, (y) the LC Exposure of such Issuing Bank would exceed its Issuing Commitment or (z) the total LC Exposure of all Issuing Banks would exceed the aggregate Issuing Commitments.  Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in an Approved Currency, (ii) subject to clause (i) above, be in such amount (and provide for such reductions therein at such dates, or upon such events) as shall be requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.2, and (iii) expire no later than the first anniversary of its date of issuance, provided that (A) any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the automatic extension thereof for additional one-year periods and (B) notwithstanding clause (iii) above, at the request of the Borrower and in the sole discretion of any Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender, a Letter of Credit may have an expiry date of greater than one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Letter of Credit providing for automatic one-year extensions, (i) shall automatically extend, so long as the conditions in Section 5.2(a) and Section 5.2(b) are satisfied during the period in which the applicable Issuing Bank has a right to deliver a non-extension notice to the beneficiary of the applicable Letter of Credit and (ii) shall have a final expiry date beyond the Senior LC Facility Termination Date.
 
(b)          All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. Any Existing Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank and for which such Issuing Bank has been backstopped pursuant to backstop Letters of Credit issued hereunder by the other Issuing Bank (as such backstop Letters of Credit may be amended or extended) on or after the Closing Date may be rolled, replaced, reissued or otherwise continued with Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank so long as such other Issuing Bank’s backstop Letters of Credit are maintained hereunder in a manner satisfactory to the backstopped Issuing Bank in such Issuing Bank’s sole discretion, in each case, pursuant to requests by the Borrower consistent herewith.
 
51

(c)          No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or would violate any internal policies of such Issuing Bank related to the issuance of letters of credit generally applied to similarly situated obligors under comparable credit facilities.
 
(d)          At any time prior to the Senior LC Facility Termination Date and so long as each condition under Section 5.2 (other than clause (c)) is satisfied at the applicable time, no Issuing Bank shall issue a notice of non-renewal of any Letter of Credit at such time unless such Letter of Credit, by its terms, does not automatically renew.
 
(e)          To the extent any amount is drawn with respect to a Letter of Credit, any LC Cash Collateral remaining in the applicable LC Cash Collateral Account with respect to such Letter of Credit, or any such LC Cash Collateral that may be returned by the applicable beneficiary, may be used to support a new Letter of Credit to any beneficiary permitted hereunder (it being understood that “new” does not include Letters of Credit issued to replace such drawn Letters of Credit) subject to the consent by the Junior TLC Facility Lender.
 
3.2        Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit.  The Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Bank at its address for notices specified herein (x) an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Bank and (y) such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Bank may request.  Upon receipt of the completed Application from the Borrower, the applicable Issuing Bank will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Bank be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than, three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon request, the applicable Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof.  Concurrently with the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly, within no more than three (3) Business Days, notify the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent of the issuance of such Letter of Credit by email or telephone call, at the email address or contact information for notices specified herein (including the amount, currency, expiration date and other relevant details thereof) or any amendment thereof.  Each Issuing Bank shall deliver a monthly report to the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent, the Junior TLC Facility Lender and counsel to the Borrower (who will deliver to (i) counsel to the Consenting AHG Noteholders (as defined in the RSA) and (ii) counsel to the Creditors’ Committee (as defined in the DIP Order)), no later than five (5) Business Days after the last day of each month indicating the number and amount of Letters of Credit issued or amended by such Issuing Bank during that month.

3.3         Fees and Other Charges.
 
(a)          Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower will pay, (x) to each Issuing Bank, a fee at a per annum rate equal to 1.00% (the “Base Letter of Credit Fee”) on the average daily outstanding amount of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding, which shall be payable in Dollars (or at the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Bank, payable in the same currency as the applicable Letter of Credit) and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, plus (y) to JPMorgan, a fee at a per annum rate equal to 0.50% (the “JPM Base Letter of Credit Fee Top-up for Minimum Utilization”) on the average daily resulting difference (only if positive) of (A) 85% of the then current Issuing Commitment of JPMorgan minus (B) the average daily outstanding amount of Letters of Credit issued by JPMorgan and outstanding which shall be payable in Dollars (or at the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Bank, payable in the same currency as the applicable Letter of Credit) and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date plus (z) to each Issuing Bank, an additional fee at a per annum rate equal to 0.90% (the “Alternative Currency Letter of Credit Fee”, and together with the Base Letter of Credit Fee (including the Minimum GS Base Letter of Credit Fee (if applicable) and the JPM Base Letter of Credit Fee Top-up for Minimum Utilization, the “Letter of Credit Fee”) on the average daily outstanding amount of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in any Alternative Currency and outstanding, which shall be payable in Dollars (or at the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Bank, payable in the same currency as the applicable Letter of Credit) and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) if the amount of Base Letter of Credit Fees due for any payment period to Goldman Sachs is less than the Minimum GS Base Letter of Credit Fee, then the Base Letter of Credit Fee due to Goldman Sachs for such payment period shall equal the Minimum GS Base Letter of Credit Fee and (y) if the amount of Alternative Currency Letter of Credit Fees due for any payment period to any Issuing Bank is less than the Minimum Alternative Currency Letter of Credit Fee applicable to such Issuing Bank, then the Alternative Currency Letter of Credit Fee due for such payment period shall equal the Minimum Alternative Currency Letter of Credit Fee.

3.6        Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the applicable Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person.  The Borrower also agrees with the applicable Issuing Bank that such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Credit Document, or any term or provision therein, (b) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be invalid, fraudulent or forged in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (c) any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, purported transferee, or any other Person, (d) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of each Letter of Credit, (e) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, in each case, except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) or (f) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally.  Neither the Applicable Agent, nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective related parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation, or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing, and the preceding sentence, shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

3.7         Letter of Credit Payments.  If documents shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank will examine documents to determine if the documents are compliant. If documents are compliant, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower of the payment date and amount thereof.  The responsibility of the applicable Issuing Bank to the Borrower in connection with documents presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.
 
3.8        Applications.  To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

7.1        Liens.  Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except (w) Liens created under or purported to be granted by the Credit Documents and the DIP Order, (x) solely with respect to the WeWork Collateral, the Liens securing the Prepetition Credit Agreement and the Prepetition Notes or any Permitted Liens, (y) with respect to any other assets of the WeWork Group Members, Permitted Liens and (z) solely with respect to the LC Cash Collateral, any Liens described in clause (7) of “Permitted Liens” in favor of each Issuing Bank (or their affiliates or branches) in its capacity as a depositary bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon (x) any Junior TLC Facility Cash Collateral Interest other than those Liens expressly granted in favor of the Junior TLC Facility Lender pursuant to the DIP Order and (y) any LC Cash Collateral or LC Cash Collateral Accounts other than those Liens expressly granted in favor of the Secured Parties under the Security Agreement as contemplated by the DIP Order or, in each case of (x) and (y), those described in clause (7) of “Permitted Liens” in favor of each Issuing Bank (or their affiliates or branches) in its capacity as a depositary bank.

In addition to the foregoing, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any secured Indebtedness (other than the Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations) that is, by its express terms, subordinated as to rights to receive, or subject to turnover of, payments or proceeds of collateral to the Senior LC Facility or any other secured Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor secured in whole or in part by the same collateral as the Collateral (including any “first-loss” or “last-out” tranche or facility under hereunder), unless such Indebtedness ranks junior in right of payment with the Junior TLC Facility and the Liens securing such Indebtedness rank junior to the Liens securing the Junior TLC Facility.
 
7.6        Use of Proceeds.  Except as otherwise provided herein or approved by the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender (email to suffice), shall not directly or indirectly (i) use the proceeds of any Term Loans or Letters of Credit in a manner or for a purpose other than those consistent with this Agreement and the DIP Order or (ii) make any payment (as adequate protection or otherwise), or application for authority to pay, on account of any claim or Indebtedness arising prior to the Petition Date other than payments consistent with the DIP Order and the Cash Collateral Order or as otherwise authorized by the Bankruptcy Court.

72

(c)          Transfer, dispose or otherwise move any cash from an LC Cash Collateral Account to any other bank account of the WeWork Group Members or to any third party in a manner not expressly permitted by the terms hereunder.

9.6       Non-Reliance on Applicable Agents and Other Issuing BanksEach Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Applicable Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Applicable Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Credit Party or any affiliate of a Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Applicable Agent to any Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender.  Each Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender represents to the Applicable Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Applicable Agent or any other Creditor Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its extensions of credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Applicable Agent or any other Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender (in the case of each Issuing Bank), and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required hereunder to be furnished to each other Applicable Agent, to Issuing Banks by each Applicable Agent and to the Junior TLC Facility Lender by each Applicable Agent, neither Applicable Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Issuing Bank, the Junior TLC Facility Lender or any other Applicable Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any affiliate of a Credit Party that may come into the possession of such Applicable Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
 
79

9.7         Indemnification.
 
(a)          Each Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Applicable Agent, and their respective affiliates, and their respective affiliates’, respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount of the Issuing Commitments in effect and Term Loans outstanding on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the applicable Issuing Commitments, the Junior TLC Facility Commitments, the Term Loans, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents, any Letter of Credit or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.
 
9.8       Applicable Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Each Applicable Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party as though such Applicable Agent were not an Applicable Agent.  With respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it, each Applicable Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Applicable Agent, and the term “Issuing Bank” shall include each Applicable Agent in its individual capacity.
 
9.9         Successor Agents.
 
(a)          Each Applicable Agent may resign as an Applicable Agent upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to the applicable Issuing Banks, the Junior TLC Facility Lender (as applicable) and the Borrower.  If any Applicable Agent shall resign as an Applicable Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, then the Applicable Required Creditor Parties shall appoint from among the applicable Creditor Parties a successor agent for such role, which successor agent shall be (i) solely with respect to any Applicable Agent for the Senior LC Facility, a bank with an office in the United States and (ii) unless an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the former Applicable Agent, and the term “Junior TLC Facility Administrative Agent”, “Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent”, “Shared Collateral Agent” and/or “Additional Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent, as applicable effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Applicable Agent’s rights, powers and duties as such Applicable Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Applicable Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Applicable Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Applicable Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Applicable Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the applicable Creditor Parties shall assume and perform all of the duties of the former Applicable Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the applicable Issuing Banks or the Junior TLC Facility Lender appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  After any retiring Applicable Agent’s resignation as such Applicable Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.
 
80

(b)          In addition, if at any time any Applicable Agent is (i) a Defaulting Issuing Bank or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Issuing Bank or (ii) in the case of the Shared Collateral Agent, perceived, by the Junior TLC Facility Lender, to be in an actual or perceived conflict of interest, such Applicable Agent may be removed by (x) the Applicable Required Creditor Parties and (y) solely in the case of clause (i) above, upon ten (10) days written notice thereof to the Applicable Agent and applicable Issuing Banks, as the case may be.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Applicable Required Creditor Parties shall have the right to appoint a successor Applicable Agent pursuant to Section 9.9(a), which, solely with respect to any Applicable Agent for the Senior LC Facility, such successor Applicable Agent shall be a commercial or investment banking institution or trust company with an office in the United States.
 
9.10       Arrangers and Bookrunners.  Neither the Arrangers nor the Bookrunners shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such.
 
9.11        Erroneous Payments.
 
(a)          If an Applicable Agent notifies an Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of an Issuing Bank, or Secured Party (any such Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient, but in any event excluding the Borrower and their Affiliates, a “Payment Recipient”) that such Applicable Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from such Applicable Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Applicable Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Applicable Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Applicable Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Applicable Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Applicable Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
 
81

 (b)          Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Applicable Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Applicable Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Applicable Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
 
(i)          (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Applicable Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
 
(ii)          such Payment Recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Applicable Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Applicable Agent pursuant to this Section 9.11(b).
 
(c)          Each Issuing Bank, the Junior TLC Facility Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Applicable Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Issuing Bank, the Junior TLC Facility Lender or Secured Party under any Credit Document or otherwise payable or distributable by the Applicable Agent to such Issuing Bank, the Junior TLC Facility Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Applicable Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
 
(d)          In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Applicable Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Applicable Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Applicable Agent’s notice to such Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender at any time, (i) such Issuing Bank or Junior TLC Facility Lender shall be deemed to have assigned the Obligations owed to it or any other amounts due to it hereunder in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Applicable Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Obligations or any other amounts due to it hereunder (but not Applicable Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with any applicable assignment fee to be waived by the Applicable Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver any applicable Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Applicable Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Applicable Agent as the assignee Issuing Bank shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Applicable Agent as the assignee Issuing Bank shall be deemed an Issuing Bank or Junior TLC Facility Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Issuing Bank or Junior TLC Facility Lender shall be deemed to have waived its rights as an Issuing Bank or Junior TLC Facility Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its Applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Issuing Bank or assigning Junior TLC Facility Lender and (iv) the Applicable Agent may reflect in the register its ownership interest in the Letters of Credit subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.
 
82

(e)          The Applicable Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Obligations or other monetary obligations of the Borrower hereunder acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Obligations or other monetary obligations of the Borrower hereunder (or portion thereof), and the Applicable Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Issuing Bank or Junior TLC Facility Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Applicable Commitments of such Issuing Bank or Junior TLC Facility Lender and such Applicable Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Applicable Agent has sold Obligations or other monetary obligations of the Borrower hereunder (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Applicable Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Applicable Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Issuing Bank, Junior TLC Facility Lender or Secured Party under the Credit Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).
 
(f)          The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any Guarantor, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Applicable Agent from the Borrower or any Guarantor for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
 
(g)          To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Applicable Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
 
(h)          Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Applicable Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, an Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender, the termination of the Applicable Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.
 
(i)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligations or liabilities (including the payment of any assignment or processing fee payable to the Applicable Agent in connection therewith) directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 9.11 in respect of any Erroneous Payment (other than having consented to the assignment referenced in Section 9.11(d)(i) above).
 
83

9.12       Actions and Matters Relating to the Collateral.
 
(a)          With respect to any Collateral, (i) only the Controlling Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to the Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Collateral), and then only on the instructions of the Controlling Administrative Agent, (ii) the Controlling Collateral Agent shall not follow any instructions with respect to such Collateral from any other Applicable Agent (or any other Secured Party other than the Controlling Secured Parties) and (iii) neither the Non-Controlling Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall or shall instruct the Controlling Collateral Agent to commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Collateral), whether under any Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Controlling Collateral Agent acting in accordance with the applicable Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Collateral. No Non-Controlling Administrative Agent or Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Controlling Collateral Agent or the Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent, Controlling Administrative Agent or the Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
 
(b)          Each Secured Party agrees that (i) it will not challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Obligations of any Applicable Facility or any Security Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Controlling Collateral Agent under any Security Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by this Agreement; (ii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral by the Controlling Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) except as provided in Section 9.12(a), it shall have no right to (A) direct the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Collateral (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement) or (B) consent to the exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Collateral, (iv) it will not institute any suit or assert in any suit, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding any claim against the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Collateral, and none of the Controlling Collateral Agent, Controlling Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Controlling Collateral Agent or other Secured Party with respect to any Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Collateral or any part thereof marshalled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral and (vi) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to enforce this Agreement.
 
(c)          Each Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Collateral, pursuant to this Agreement or any Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in connection with any Bankruptcy Event of the WeWork Group Members or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), at any time prior to the full discharge and satisfaction of the Obligations, then it shall hold such Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the other Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Shared Collateral Agent, to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3. Any Secured party acting under this Section 9.12(c) shall have no obligation to the Shared Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to ensure that any Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the WeWork Group Members or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 9.12(c). Each Secured Party acting under this Section 9.12(c) makes no representation or warranty as whether the provisions of this Section 9.12(c) are sufficient to perfect the security interest in any Collateral in which such Secured Party has such possession or control.
 
84

(d)          Each Secured Party agrees that the Controlling Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment to any Security Document (including, without limitation, to release any Liens securing the Obligations) so long as the Controlling Collateral Agent is acting at the direction of the Applicable Required Creditor Parties (unless such amendment requires the consent of any additional Issuing Banks, Junior TLC Facility Lender or other party pursuant to Section 10.1) and/or has received a certificate of an officer of the Borrower stating that such amendment is permitted by the terms of each then extant Credit Document and such amendment is in accordance with the Credit Documents.
 
(e)          As between the Secured Parties, the Shared Collateral Agent shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Collateral; provided, that to the extent any other Applicable Agent receives proceeds of such insurance policy and such proceeds in respect of Collateral are not permitted or required to be returned to the Borrower or its subsidiaries under the applicable Credit Document, such proceeds shall be applied, or turned over to the Shared Collateral Agent for application, as provided in Section 8.3.
 
(f)          So long as (i) the Senior LC Facility Date of Full Satisfaction has not occurred and solely with respect to any WeWork Collateral, the parties hereto agree that (a) there shall be no Lien, and no Credit Party shall have any right to create any Lien, on any assets of any Credit Party securing any Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations if these same assets are not subject to, and do not become subject to, one or more Liens securing the Senior LC Facility Credit Document Obligations and (b) if any Junior TLC Facility Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party securing any Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations which assets are not also subject to the first-priority Lien securing the Senior LC Facility Credit Document Obligations then such Junior TLC Facility Secured Party, upon demand by the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent, will without the need for any further consent of any other Junior TLC Facility Secured Party, notwithstanding anything to the contrary either (x) release such Lien or (y) assign it to the Shared Collateral Agent, to hold as security for the benefit of all Secured Parties and (ii) the Junior TLC Facility Maturity Date has not occurred and solely with respect to any WeWork Collateral, the parties hereto agree that (a) there shall be no Lien, and no Credit Party shall have any right to create any Lien, on any assets of any Credit Party securing any Senior LC Facility Credit Document Obligations if these same assets are not subject to, and do not become subject to, one or more Liens securing the Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations and (b) if any Senior LC Facility Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party securing any Senior LC Facility Credit Document Obligations which assets are not also subject to the second-priority Lien securing the Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations then such Senior LC Facility Secured Party, upon demand by the Junior TLC Facility Administrative Agent, will without the need for any further consent of any other Senior LC Facility Secured Party, notwithstanding anything to the contrary either (x) release such Lien or (y) assign it to the Shared Collateral Agent, to hold as security for the benefit of all Secured Parties.  For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph (f) shall not apply to the LC Cash Collateral Accounts, the LC Cash Collateral and/or the Junior TLC Facility Cash Collateral Interest.
 
85

(g)          Each of the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that because of the differing rights of the Issuing Banks and the Junior TLC Facility Lender in the Collateral, the claims of the Issuing Banks with respect to the Senior LC Facility Credit Document Obligations and the claims of the Junior TLC Facility Lender with respect to the Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations are fundamentally different and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in any bankruptcy case.  In the event that the claims of the Issuing Banks and Junior TLC Facility Lender are classified in the same class in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in any bankruptcy case, then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that:  (i) the Issuing Banks shall not cast their votes in favor of such plan of reorganization unless such plan of reorganization has been approved by Junior TLC Facility Lender holding at least two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the claims with respect to the Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations, and (ii) unless the Deemed Assignment has occurred, the Junior TLC Facility Lender shall not cast their votes in favor of such plan of reorganization unless such plan of reorganization has been approved by Issuing Banks holding at least two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the claims with respect to the Senior LC Facility Obligations.

(vii)          may conclusively rely on any certificate of an officer of the Borrower.
 
(b)          Each Secured Party acknowledges that, in addition to acting as the Shared Collateral Agent and the Additional Collateral Agent with respect to LC Cash Collateral securing, initially, Credit Exposure of Goldman Sachs as an Issuing Bank and following a Deemed Assignment, the Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations owed to the Junior TLC Facility Lender, Goldman Sachs International Bank also serves as the initial Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank and the initial Controlling Administrative Agent with respect to the Senior LC Facility, and each Secured Party hereby waives any right to make any objection or claim against Goldman Sachs International Bank (or any successor or any of their respective counsel) based on any alleged conflict of interest or breach of duties arising from the Shared Collateral Agent or an Additional Collateral Agent also serving as the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank and Controlling Administrative Agent with respect to the Senior LC Facility; provided that, the foregoing does not limit the rights of the Junior TLC Facility Lender pursuant to Section 9.9(b)(ii) of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that (x) any written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents (other than the GS Agency Fee Letter) for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (other than the GS Agency Fee Letter) or changing in any manner the rights of the Creditor Parties or of the Credit Parties hereunder or thereunder, in each case, directly impacts only one Applicable Facility and does not adversely impact the other Applicable Facility or (y) waive, on such terms and conditions, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (other than the GS Agency Fee Letter) or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences, in each case, solely to the extent such amendments, supplements, modifications or waiver directly impact only one Applicable Facility and does not adversely impact the other Applicable Facility, then in the case of the preceding clauses (x) and (y), only the written consent of each Issuing Bank (if the impacted Applicable Facility is the Senior LC Facility) or of the Junior TLC Facility Lender (if the impacted Applicable Facility is the Junior TLC Facility) directly impacted by such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver shall be required and no written consent of the Creditor Parties under the Applicable Facility not adversely impacted by such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver shall be required.
 
(b)          Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification under an Applicable Facility shall apply equally to each of the Creditor Parties only under such Applicable Facility and shall be binding upon the Credit Parties, the applicable Issuing Bank, the Junior TLC Facility Lender and the Applicable Agent (including, if applicable, each Controlling Collateral Agent). In the case of any waiver, the Credit Parties, the Issuing Banks and the Junior TLC Facility Lender under the Applicable Facility and the Applicable Agent (including, if applicable, each Controlling Collateral Agent) shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (other than the GS Agency Fee Letter), and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
10.2          Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower and the Applicable Agent, and as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Applicable Agent in the case of the Issuing Banks or the Junior TLC Facility Lender, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

10.5          Payment of Expenses; Indemnity; Limitation of Liability.
 
(a)          Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the DIP Order in all respects, the Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each Applicable Agent for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of one primary external counsel to all Applicable Agents (other than the Junior TLC Facility Administrative Agent), and one additional primary external counsel to the Junior TLC Facility Administrative Agent, one regulatory counsel and one local counsel as reasonably necessary in each relevant jurisdiction, and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Applicable Agent and the Applicable Required Creditor Parties shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Issuing Bank, the Junior TLC Facility Lender and each Applicable Agent for all its costs and reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of one primary external counsel to all Applicable Agents (other than the Junior TLC Facility Administrative Agent) and one additional primary external counsel for the Junior TLC Facility Administrative Agent (in each case, including one regulatory counsel and one local counsel as reasonably necessary in each relevant jurisdiction (and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction corresponding to each primary external counsel for the affected Issuing Banks or Junior TLC Facility Lender similarly situated and each Applicable Agent)) and (c) to pay or reimburse each Issuing Bank, Junior TLC Facility Lender and each Applicable Agent for all reasonable and documented costs, fees and expenses incurred by each Issuing Banks, Junior TLC Facility Lender and each Applicable Agent in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases to include: the monitoring and administration thereof, the negotiation and implementation of any Plan and any other matter, motion or order bearing on the validity, priority and/or repayment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
(b)          In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.5(a), the Borrower agrees (a) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Issuing Bank, Junior TLC Facility Lender and Applicable Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, and (b) to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), pay, indemnify, and hold each Issuing Bank, Junior TLC Facility Lender and Applicable Agent, their respective controlled or controlling affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons, members or representatives (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not the same are brought by the Borrower, their equity holders, affiliates or creditors or any other Person, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Letters of Credit (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or for any other reasons specified in this Agreement) or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any WeWork Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of one primary external legal counsel to each Issuing Bank, and one additional primary external counsel to the Junior TLC Facility Lender, one regulatory counsel and one local counsel as reasonably necessary in each relevant jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly situated) in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Credit Party under any Credit Document (all the foregoing in this clause (b), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY, OR ARE CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY ANY INDEMNITEE; provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, and provided, further, that this Section 10.5(b) shall not apply with respect to claims brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (provided that such claims do not arise from any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its affiliates), other than claims brought against the Applicable Agent in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Applicable Agent.  To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.5 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.
 
91

(c)          To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against each Indemnitee on any theory of liability, any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the Chapter 11 Cases or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Credit Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor and (ii) no Indemnitee shall assert, and each Indemnitee hereby waives, any claim against each Credit Party on any theory of liability, any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the Chapter 11 Cases or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Indemnitee hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
 
(d)          Each Credit Party also agrees that no Indemnitee will have any liability to any Credit Party or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any Credit Party or any other person in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, in each case, except in the case of any Credit Party to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by such Credit Party or its affiliates, shareholders, partners or other equity holders have been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee in performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein; provided, however, that in no event will such Indemnitee have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of such Indemnitees’ activities related to this Agreement, any Credit Document, any Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein.
 
92

(e)          This Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than ten days after written demand therefor.  Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer (with a copy to the General Counsel), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Applicable Agent.
 
(f)          The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all amounts payable hereunder.
 
10.6       Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
 
(a)          The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no Issuing Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except to an Issuing Bank Assignee in accordance with this Section 10.6 and (iii) no Junior TLC Facility Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under the Term Loans hereunder without the prior written consent of Borrower, the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks.
 
(b)          Any Issuing Bank may resign upon (i) thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Borrower and the Applicable Agent and (ii) obtaining the written consent of the Borrower and the Applicable Agent to such resignation.  From and after the effective date of such resignation, references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to any successor or to a resigned Issuing Bank, as the context shall require.  After the resignation of an Issuing Bank pursuant to this clause (b), the resigned Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to extend existing Letters of Credit or issue additional Letters of Credit.
 
(c)          (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (ii) below, any Issuing Bank may assign to one or more Issuing Bank Assignees, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Issuing Commitments) with the prior written consent of:
 

(A)
the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to an Issuing Bank, an Affiliate of an Issuing Bank, or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof;
 
93


(B)
the Applicable Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and
 

(C)
the Junior TLC Facility Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
 
(ii)          Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
 

(A)
except in the case of an assignment to an Issuing Bank, an Affiliate of an Issuing Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Issuing Bank’s Issuing Commitments under the Facility, the amount of the Issuing Commitments of the assigning Issuing Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Applicable Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of Issuing Banks and its Affiliates, if any;
 

(B)
the assigning Issuing Bank shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Applicable Agent; and
 

(C)
the Issuing Bank Assignee, if it shall not be an Issuing Bank, shall deliver to the Applicable Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Issuing Bank Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the Issuing Bank Assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.
 
(iii)          Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Issuing Bank Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations (including providing forms pursuant to Section 2.10(f)) of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Issuing Bank thereunder shall subject to the next sentence, 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 Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 13.5).  After the assignment by an Issuing Bank pursuant to this clause (c), the assignor Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such assignment, but shall not be required to extend existing Letters of Credit or issue additional Letters of Credit.
 
94

(iv)          The Applicable Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices located in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names, addresses  and the Issuing Commitments of each Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Issuing Bank Register”). The entries in the Issuing Bank Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Applicable Agent and the Issuing Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Issuing Bank Register pursuant to the terms hereof as an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Issuing Bank Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Issuing Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice (it being understood that no Issuing Bank shall be entitled to view any information in the Issuing Bank Register except such information contained therein with respect to the Issuing Commitments of such Issuing Bank).  This Section 10.6(c)(iv) shall be construed so that all Issuing Commitments are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related United States Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such United States Treasury Regulations).
 
(v)          Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Issuing Bank and an Issuing Bank Assignee, the Issuing Bank Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Issuing Bank Assignee shall already be an Issuing Bank hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6, the Applicable Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Issuing Bank Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Issuing Bank Register as provided in this paragraph.
 
(d)          Notwithstanding the foregoing and without the consent of the Borrower or any other party hereto, each Issuing Bank may sell participations in all or any part of any Letters of Credit or any portion of its Issuing Commitment of such Issuing to another entity, subject to this Section 10.6(d). Such Issuing Bank may disseminate credit information relating to the Borrower and the Credit Parties in connection with any proposed participation and each participant and subparticipant shall have the benefit of Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 3.3 hereof as though references therein to “Issuing Bank” included references to each participant and subparticipant and as though references to “issuing” any Letter of Credit included reference to “acquiring participation or subparticipation interests in” such Letter of Credit; provided that each such participant or subparticipant shall only have consent rights in connection with any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement to the extent such amendment or waiver shall (i) increase the amount of any Letter of Credit or the Issuing Commitments with respect to any Letter of Credit or Issuing Commitment, of the applicable Issuing Bank in whose interest such participant has a participation, (ii) postpone any date scheduled for or reduced the amount of any payment of Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees or expenses payable hereunder (iii) amend or change any provision of this Section 10.6 in a manner that would affect their consent rights in an adverse manner or (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral and/or the Guarantees Obligations of the Guarantors for the Obligations hereunder. Each Issuing Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 Letters of Credit, Obligations or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Issuing Bank 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 Credit Document) to any Person except (i) to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and (ii) to the Borrower upon a written request to the Issuing Banks. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Issuing Bank 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 Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
 
95

10.7          Adjustments; Set-off.
 
(a)          In addition to any rights and remedies of each of the Issuing Banks and Junior TLC Facility Lender provided by law, each Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower; provided that if the Junior TLC Facility Lender or any Defaulting Issuing Bank shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set-off shall be paid over immediately to the Applicable Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by the Junior TLC Facility Lender or such Defaulting Issuing Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, in each case, in respect of the Senior LC Facility and (ii) the Junior TLC Facility Lender or the Defaulting Issuing Bank shall provide promptly to the Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to the Junior TLC Facility Lender or such Defaulting Issuing Bank as to which it exercised such right of set-off. Each Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and Applicable Agent after any such application made by such Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.
 
10.8          Counterparts; Electronic Execution.
 
(a)          This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Applicable Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Credit Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Credit Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Credit Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Credit Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), 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 paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Applicable Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Applicable Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Applicable Agent and each of the Issuing Banks and the Junior TLC Facility Lender shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Credit Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the request of the Applicable Agent or any Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower and each Credit Party hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Creditor Parties, the Borrower and the Credit Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Credit Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) the Applicable Agent and each of the Issuing Banks and the Junior TLC Facility Lender may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Credit Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (C) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Credit Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Credit Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (D) waives any claim against any Indemnitee for any Indemnified Liabilities arising solely from the Applicable Agent’s and/or any Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Indemnified Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Borrower and/or any Credit Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
 
96

10.9         Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(b)          consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Credit Parties and the Creditor Parties is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, irrespective of whether the Creditor Parties have advised or are advising the Credit Parties on other matters, and the relationship between the Creditor Parties, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith and therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor, (b) the Creditor Parties, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, have an arm’s length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do the Credit Parties rely on, any fiduciary duty to the Credit Parties or their affiliates on the part of the Creditor Parties, (c) the Credit Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding, and the Credit Parties understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (d) the Credit Parties have been advised that the Creditor Parties are engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from the Credit Parties’ interests and that the Creditor Parties have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Credit Parties, (e) the Credit Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent the Credit Parties have deemed appropriate in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (f) each Creditor Party has been, is, and will be acting solely as a principal and, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by it and the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Credit Parties, any of their affiliates or any other Person, (g) none of the Creditor Parties has any obligation to the Credit Parties or their affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents except those obligations expressly set forth herein or therein or in any other express writing executed and delivered by such Creditor Party and the Credit Parties or any such affiliate and (h) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Creditor Parties or among the Credit Parties and the Creditor Parties.
 
98

10.14      Releases of Guarantees and Liens.
 
(a)          Automatic Release.  If any WeWork Collateral is the subject of a disposition (other than to another Credit Party) that is not prohibited hereunder or becomes Excluded Property, the Liens in such Collateral granted under the Credit Documents shall automatically terminate and such WeWork Collateral will be free and clear of all such Liens.  There shall be no automatic release of any LC Cash Collateral and any release of any LC Cash Collateral (other than as contemplated by Section 2.5(b)) shall be subject to the consent of each Issuing Bank.
 
(b)          Written Release.  The Controlling Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized, without any consent or further agreement of the Issuing Banks or the Junior TLC Facility Lender, to release of record, and shall release of record, any Liens encumbering any WeWork Collateral described in clause (a) above.  To the extent any Applicable Agent is required to execute any release documents in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, such Applicable Agent shall do so promptly upon request of the Borrower and the Controlling Administrative Agent (subject to Section 10.5, at the cost of the Borrower) without the consent or further agreement of any Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this clause (b) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Applicable Agent.
 
(c)          Authorized Release upon the Junior TLC Facility Date of Full Satisfaction.  The Applicable Agent is irrevocably authorized by the Issuing Banks and the Junior TLC Facility Lender, without any consent or further agreement of the Issuing Banks and the Junior TLC Facility Lender, to release or assign, as applicable, the Controlling Collateral Agents’ Liens and guarantees upon the Junior TLC Facility Date of Full Satisfaction in accordance with Section 7.12(f) of the Security Agreement. All Liens in the Collateral and all guarantees granted under any Credit Document shall automatically terminate and be released on the Junior TLC Facility Date of Full Satisfaction.
 
(d)          Authorized Release of Credit Party.  If the Controlling Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower requesting the release of a Credit Party, certifying that each of the Controlling Administrative Agent and the Controlling Collateral Agent is authorized to release such Credit Party because either: (1) the Equity Interest issued by such Credit Party or the assets of such Credit Party have been disposed of to a non-Credit Party, (2) such Credit Party has been designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or has become an Excluded Subsidiary or (3) such Credit Party has liquidated or dissolved in a transaction permitted by this Agreement; provided that no such release shall occur if such Credit Party continues to be a guarantor in respect of any other secured debt of the Credit Parties or any Permitted Senior Secured Debt of any of the foregoing; then the Controlling Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized by the Issuing Banks and the Junior TLC Facility Lender to release the Liens granted to the Shared Collateral Agent to secure the Obligations in the assets of such Credit Party and release such Credit Party from all obligations under the Credit Documents.  To the extent any Applicable Agent is required to execute any release documents in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Applicable Agent shall do so promptly upon request of the Borrower (at the sole expense of Borrower).  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this clause (d) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Applicable Agent. Notwithstanding this clause (d), to the extent that any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary solely as a result of becoming a Subsidiary that is no longer wholly owned and the primary purpose of such transaction was to release such subsidiary from its obligations as a Guarantor, guarantees by such Guarantor shall only be released with the consent of each Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender.  Notwithstanding this clause (d), to the extent that any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary solely as a result of becoming a subsidiary that is no longer wholly owned and the primary purpose of such transaction was to evade the guaranty and collateral requirement in Section 6.9, guarantees by such Guarantor and Liens on the assets of such Guarantor constituting Collateral shall only be released with the consent of each Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender.
 
99

(e)          Lien Subordination.  Each Controlling Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by such Controlling Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.1 and the DIP Order.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this clause (e) shall be without recourse or warranty by such Controlling Collateral Agent.
 
10.15     Intercreditor Matters. Solely with respect to the WeWork Collateral, the Controlling Collateral Agent with respect to the WeWork Collateral is authorized to and shall enter, at such Controlling Agent’s discretion, into any intercreditor arrangements in its capacity as the designated representative, including any Market Intercreditor Agreements required hereunder, on behalf of each Issuing Bank and the Junior TLC Facility Lender, in each case, with respect to Indebtedness (including, without limitation, any Permitted Senior Secured Debt), that is secured by Liens permitted hereunder and which Indebtedness contemplates an intercreditor, subordination or collateral trust agreement (any such intercreditor, subordination or collateral trust agreement (including any such Market Intercreditor Agreement), an “Additional Agreement”), and to take all actions (and execute all documents) required (or deemed advisable) by the Controlling Administrative Agent with respect to the WeWork Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Additional Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge that any Additional Agreement is binding upon them.  Each Issuing Bank and Junior TLC Facility Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by, and will not take any action contrary to, the provisions of any Additional Agreement and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Agents to enter into any Additional Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof.  The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Issuing Banks and the Junior TLC Facility Lender to extend credit to the Borrower, and the Issuing Banks and the Junior TLC Facility Lender are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of any Additional Agreement.
 
10.16      Confidentiality. Each of the Applicable Agent and each Creditor Party agrees that it will use all confidential information provided to it by or on behalf of the Credit Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates hereunder solely for the purpose of providing Applicable Commitments or extending credit and shall treat confidentially all information provided to it by any Credit Party, the Applicable Agent or any Creditor Party; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Applicable Agent and each Creditor Party from disclosing any such information (a) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding as required by applicable law (in which case such Applicable Agent and each Creditor Party agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof to the extent lawfully permitted to do so), (b) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Applicable Agent or any Creditor Party or any of their respective affiliates (in which case the Applicable Agent or such Creditor Party, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof (except with respect to any routine or ordinary course audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority)), (c) to the extent that such information is publicly available or becomes publicly available other than by reason of improper disclosure by the Applicable Agent or any Creditor Party or any of their respective affiliates in violation of any confidentiality obligations hereunder, (d) to the extent that such information is received by the Applicable Agent or any Creditor Party from a third party that is not, to the Applicable Agent or such Creditor Party’s knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations owing to the Borrower or any of their respective affiliates or related parties, (e) to the extent that such information is independently developed by the Applicable Agent or any Creditor Party so long as not based on information obtained in a manner that would otherwise violate this provision, (f) to each of the Applicable Agent and Creditor Party’s affiliates and such Applicable Agent or Creditor Party’s and its affiliates’ respective officers, directors, partners, employees, advisors, legal counsel, independent auditors, insurers and reinsurers and other experts or agents (collectively, the “Representatives”) who need to know such information in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder and are informed of the confidential nature of such information and who agree (which agreement may be oral or pursuant to company policy) to be bound by the terms of this paragraph (or language substantially similar to, or at least as restrictive as, this paragraph) (and each of the Applicable Agents and Creditor Parties shall be responsible for their respective Representatives’ compliance with this paragraph), (g) to potential and prospective lenders, debt providers, hedge providers, potential and prospective investors, prospective assignees and participants and any direct or indirect contractual counterparties to any swap or derivative transaction relating to this Agreement, in each case, who are made subject to the written agreement to treat such Information confidentially and on substantially the confidentiality restrictions specified herein, (h) [reserved], (i) to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Applicable Agent or any Creditor Party in connection with the administration and management of the Applicable Facilities; provided that such information is limited to the existence of this Agreement and information about the Facility, (j) received by such person on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Borrower or any of its respective affiliates, advisors, members, directors, employees, agents or other representatives) not known by such person to be prohibited from disclosing such information to such person by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, (k) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense or (l) to the extent that such information was already in our possession prior to any duty or other undertaking of confidentiality entered into in connection with the Facility.
 
100

Each Creditor Party acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
 
10.17    WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL.  THE BORROWER, EACH APPLICABLE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS AND THE JUNIOR TLC FACILITY LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
 
10.18    Patriot Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Creditor Party hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act and 31 C.F.R. §101.230 (as amended, the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and each of the other Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and each of the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Creditor Party to identify the Borrower and each of the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
 
10.19     Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of any payments made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if and when the Obligations and other obligations hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Applicable Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Issuing Banks, the Junior TLC Facility Lender and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if any Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Issuing Bank or the Junior TLC Facility Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Obligations hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.
 
101

10.20    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any party to any other party under or in connection with the Credit Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:
 
(a)          any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):
 
(i)          a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;
 
(ii)          a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and
 
(iii)          a cancellation of any such liability; and
 
(b)          a variation of any term of any Credit Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability.
 
10.21         Intended Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree (i) that the Term Loans shall be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) to file all Tax returns and reports consistent with clause (i). Each of the parties hereto further agrees not to take a position inconsistent with this Section 10.21, except as required by any change in any Requirement of Law with respect to Taxes or pursuant to a final determination (as described in Section 1313(a) of the Code).
 
10.22      Deemed Assignment and Junior TLC Facility Lender Considerations.
 
(a)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, upon release by the applicable Issuing Bank or Additional Collateral Agent or the occurrence of the Senior LC Facility Date of Full Satisfaction, the Senior LC Facility Cash Collateral Interest in the LC Cash Collateral and the LC Cash Collateral Accounts (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Prefunded Amounts or SVF Fronted Amounts) shall be deemed to automatically be assigned to the Junior TLC Facility Lender and become part of the Junior TLC Facility Cash Collateral Interest, with effect as of the Closing Date; provided that after giving effect to the Deemed Assignment, the Shared Collateral Agent and/or each Additional Collateral Agent shall, and the Shared Collateral Agent and each Additional Agent agrees that it shall, continue to act as collateral agent on (i) in the case of the Shared Collateral Agent, the We Work Collateral and/or (ii) in the case of each Additional Collateral Agent, on the applicable LC Cash Collateral and LC Cash Collateral Accounts, in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) for the benefit of the Junior TLC Facility Lender (this clause (a), the “Deemed Assignment”). Pursuant to the DIP Order, the automatic stay of section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be modified to the extent necessary to permit and provide for the consummation of any Deemed Assignment.
 
102

(b)          As described in the Cash Collateral Order, prior to the commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases, the SVF Obligor (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) posted approximately $808,841,264.74 of cash Prepetition Cash Collateral to accounts controlled by Goldman Sachs to secure obligations of the Credit Parties under the Prepetition Credit Agreement. Immediately prior to the Closing Date, the amount so posted was $730,142,354.54, with reductions due to payments in respect of draws on letters of credit issued under the Prepetition Credit Agreement. The parties to the Prepetition Credit Agreement have agreed to release to the SVF Obligor a portion of the Prepetition Cash Collateral to be used by the Junior TLC Facility Lender to fund the Term Loans contemplated by this Agreement. The remainder of the Prepetition Cash Collateral will remain as security for those letters of credit that will remain outstanding under the Prepetition Credit Agreement and are otherwise not backstopped by Letters of Credit. Further, nothing in this Agreement or the DIP Order will prejudice any rights or claims of the SVF Obligor under the Prepetition Credit Agreement with respect to the remaining Prepetition Cash Collateral, and such rights and claims will be treated in the same manner and priority as the Prepetition LC Facility Claims (as defined in the RSA) and 1L Notes Claims (as defined in the RSA).
 
(c)          The Term Loans are intended to support the Credit Exposure of the Issuing Banks during the pendency of these Chapter 11 Cases. On the effective date of a Plan of Reorganization, the claims of the Junior TLC Facility Lender with respect to the Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations (the “Junior TLC Facility Lender Claims”) shall be satisfied, in each case, subject to the RSA to the extent the RSA is in effect at any applicable time, as follows:
 
(i)          first, if, after the Senior LC Facility Date of Full Satisfaction, any proceeds of the Term Loans remain as LC Cash Collateral in the LC Cash Collateral Accounts, such proceeds shall be paid to the Junior TLC Facility Lender on account of the Junior TLC Facility Lender Claims; and
 
(ii)          second, to the extent any portion of the Junior TLC Facility Lender Claims remains unsatisfied after the cash payment pursuant to the DIP Order, any remaining portion of the Junior TLC Facility Lender Claims (i.e., “Drawn DIP TLC Claims” as defined in the RSA) shall be satisfied in cash.
 
10.23        Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Credit Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Applicable 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 the applicable Credit Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Applicable Agent or any Creditor Party hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other any Alternative Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Agent or such Creditor Party, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Agent or such Creditor Party, as the case may be, 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 Applicable Agent or any Creditor Party from any Credit Party in the Agreement Currency, each Credit Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Agent or such Creditor Party, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Applicable Agent or any Creditor Party in such currency, the Applicable Agent or such Creditor Party, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the applicable Credit Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
 
10.24     Conflicts.  Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any Credit Document to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof or thereof, on the one hand, and the terms of the DIP Order, on the other hand, the terms of the DIP Order shall control.
