NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
General
The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” and “Integra” refer to Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise.
In the opinion of management, the March 31, 2026 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements is in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and sales returns and allowances, net realizable value of inventories, valuation of intangible assets including amortization periods for acquired intangible assets, discount rates and estimated projected cash flows used to value and test impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimates of projected cash flows and depreciation and amortization periods for long-lived assets, computation of taxes, valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, the valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, valuation of contingent liabilities, the fair value of debt instruments and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”), which removes all references to software development project stages and requires entities to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. The amendment may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements (“ASU 2025-09”), which amends existing guidance to clarify and enhance the hedge accounting guidance in FASB Topic 815 and better align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management strategies to enable entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for highly effective economic hedges. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendment may be applied prospectively for all hedging relationships. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants by Business Entities (“ASU 2025-10”), which establishes authoritative guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure for government grants received by business entities. This amendment defines a government grant, establishes when and how a grant related to an asset or income is recognized and measured, and includes presentation and disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendment may be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or fully retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have any significant effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company had cash and cash equivalents, primarily consisting of cash on-hand, as well as time deposits with original maturities of three months or less and money market funds, which are highly liquid and readily convertible to cash, totaling approximately $236.8 million and $235.0 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Short-term investments
The Company had short-term investments, primarily consisting of time deposits with original maturities between three months and one year, totaling approximately $28.7 million and $28.7 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The short-term investments are valued based on Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.
IEEPA tariff refund receivable
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to invalidate the U.S. administration’s tariff program implemented during 2025 under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), concluding that IEEPA did not authorize the broad import duties previously imposed. Subsequent to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an order directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to establish an administrative process to issue refunds of any IEEPA tariffs imposed without appropriate authority. On April 20, 2026, the CBP launched an online portal referred to as the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”) that can be used to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests. All requests will be reviewed by the CBP to determine validity prior to the issuance of refunds
Any tariffs paid have been capitalized in inventory and have been recognized in cost of goods sold as those products subject to tariffs have been sold. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company applied the guidance within FASB Topic 405-20, Liabilities - Extinguishments of Liabilities (“ASC 405-20”). As a result, the Company recognized a receivable of $18.7 million, recorded in other current assets, for tariffs previously paid on imported goods that are subject to refund. Of this amount, $3.4 million had been previously expensed in 2025 to cost of goods sold and $15.3 million would have been expensed in the current year. These adjustments relate to the legal right to receive a refund of IEEPA tariffs previously imposed on the Company without appropriate authority.
Employee termination benefits
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company adopted a written severance plan that covers most U.S. employees. In situations outside the U.S., the Company has severance policies that meet or exceed the minimum statutory termination benefits requirements by country that must be paid to the affected employees. The Company records employee severance costs associated with restructuring activities in accordance with the authoritative guidance for non-retirement post-employment benefits. Charges associated with these restructuring activities are recorded when the payment of benefits is probable and can be reasonably estimated. In situations where the Company pays out termination benefits in excess of the Company’s severance policies based on management’s discretion, the Company records these termination costs once communication is made to the affected employees.
The timing of the recognition of charges for employee severance costs other than minimum statutory benefits depends on whether the affected employees are required to render service beyond their legal notification period in order to receive the benefits. If affected employees are required to render service beyond their legal notification period, charges are recognized over the future service period. Otherwise, charges are recognized when management has approved a specific plan and employee communication requirements have been met.

The Company incurred employee termination costs on restructuring activities in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Segment information
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company updated the allocation of certain cost and expense information from the Corporate and Other category to the Company’s two reportable segments to align with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews and manages the business. As a result of this update, the Company retrospectively recast prior period results, by segment, to conform to the current period presentation. This update had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations. See Note 15. Segment and Geographic Information, for details of the reallocation of certain cost of goods sold and operating expense information to the Company’s reportable segments.
In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company renamed its Codman Specialty Surgical reportable segment to Specialty Surgery and its Tissue Technologies reportable segment to Tissue Reconstruction to better align with the reportable segments’ business activities, structures, and strategies. The reportable segment name change did not result in any change to the composition of the reportable segments and has no impact on previously reported financial information.
2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Acquisition of Durepair®
On October 2, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the product rights for Durepair Regeneration Matrix (“Durepair”), a non-synthetic dura substitute for repair of the dura mater during neurosurgical procedures, from Medtronic plc for total consideration of $45.0 million. The Company made cash payments of $10.0 million upon the closing of the acquisition in October 2024, $15.0 million on the first anniversary of the acquisition in October 2025, and will make an additional cash payment of $20.0 million upon the second anniversary of the acquisition in October 2026. The additional cash payment to be made in October 2026 is included at its present value in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of March 31, 2026.
The acquisition of the product rights for Durepair, which consist of certain patents and trademarks, regulatory approvals, and other records, has been accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with FASB Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) as the acquisition does not include an assembled workforce and substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable intangible asset.
3. REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Summary of Accounting Policies on Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to the customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products and services.
Performance Obligations
The Company’s performance obligations consist mainly of transferring control of goods and services identified in the contracts, purchase orders, or invoices. The Company has no significant multi-element contracts with customers.
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)
Significant Estimates
Usage-based royalties and licenses are estimated based on the provisions of contracts with customers and recognized in the same period that the royalty-based products are sold by the Company’s strategic partners. The Company estimates and recognizes royalty revenue based upon communication with licensees, historical information, and expected sales trends. Differences between actual reported licensee sales and those that were estimated are adjusted in the period in which they become known, which is typically the following quarter. Historically, such adjustments have not been significant.
The Company estimates returns, price concessions, and discount allowances using the expected value method based on historical trends and other known factors. Rebate allowances are estimated using the most likely method based on each customer contract.
The Company’s return policy, as set forth in its product catalogs and sales invoices, requires review and authorization in advance prior to the return of product. Upon the authorization, a credit will be issued for the goods returned within a set amount of days from the shipment, which is generally 90 days.
The Company disregards the effects of a financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer and customer payment for the goods or services will be one year or less. The Company has no significant revenues recognized on payments expected to be received more than one year after the transfer of control of products or services to customers.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Revenues recognized from the Company’s private label business that are not invoiced to the customers as a result of recognizing revenue over time are recorded as a contract asset included in the prepaid expenses and other current assets account in the consolidated balance sheet. Upon invoicing to the customer, the balance is recorded in trade receivable, net in the consolidated balance sheet.
Other operating revenues may include fees received under service agreements. Non-refundable fees received under multiple-period service agreements are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies the performance obligations to the other party. A portion of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations to be satisfied in the future periods is recognized as contract liability.
The following table summarizes the changes in the contract asset and liability balances for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

Product Warranties
Certain of the Company’s medical devices, including monitoring systems and neurosurgical systems, are designed to operate over long periods of time. These products are sold with warranties which may extend for up to two years from the date of purchase. The warranties are not considered a separate performance obligation. The Company estimates its product warranties using the expected value method based on historical trends and other known factors. The Company includes them in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
Taxes Collected from Customers
The Company elected to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Dollars in thousands | Specialty Surgery | | Tissue Reconstruction | | Total |

Goodwill at March 31, 2026 | $ | 343,098 | | | $ | 270,149 | | | $ | 613,247 | |
In accordance with FASB Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually in the third quarter. Additionally, the Company may perform interim tests of goodwill for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)
of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. An impairment loss is recognized when the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value.
The Company tests for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors, including reporting unit specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company may elect to bypass this qualitative evaluation for some or all of its reporting units and perform a quantitative test. The quantitative test uses a combination of both an income approach and a market approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The income approach utilizes the estimated discounted cash flows for the reporting unit, while the market approach utilizes comparable publicly-traded companies’ revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. Estimates and assumptions used in the income approach to calculate projected future discounted cash flows included revenue growth rates, cost of sales, terminal growth rates, and a discount rate for each reporting unit. Discount rates are determined using a weighted average cost of capital for risk factors specific to each reporting unit and other market and industry data. The assumptions used are inherently subject to uncertainty and slight changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the concluded value. The estimates and assumptions applied represent a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs are supported by limited or no market activity and reflect the Company’s assumptions in measuring fair value.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of its Tissue Reconstruction, Neurosurgery, and Instruments and ENT reporting units in accordance with ASC 350 due to the decrease in the price per share of the Company’s common stock related to a number of factors including recent tariff changes that have created broad economic uncertainty and the impact of quality, operational, and supply issues. The Company recognized an aggregate charge of $511.4 million in goodwill impairment expense in the consolidated statement of operations in the second quarter of 2025. The quantitative test for the Tissue Reconstruction reporting unit utilized a terminal growth rate of 2.5% and a discount rate of 13.5% in the income approach. The Company determined, after performing the quantitative analysis, that the fair value of the Tissue Reconstruction reporting unit was less than its carrying amount and recognized an impairment of $123.3 million. The quantitative test for the Neurosurgery reporting unit utilized a terminal growth rate of 2.5% and a discount rate of 13.5% in the income approach. The Company determined, after performing the quantitative analysis, that the fair value of the Neurosurgery reporting unit was less than its carrying amount and recognized an impairment of $249.0 million. The quantitative test for the Instruments and ENT reporting unit utilized a terminal growth rate of 2.5% and a discount rate of 12.0% in the income approach. The Company determined, after performing the quantitative analysis, that the fair value of the Instruments and ENT reporting unit was less than its carrying amount and recognized an impairment of $139.1 million.
In the third quarter of 2025, the Company performed its annual test of its reporting units for impairment and completed a qualitative evaluation of its Tissue Reconstruction and Neurosurgery reporting units. The Instruments and ENT reporting unit had been deemed fully-impaired during the second quarter of 2025 and was excluded from this evaluation. After performing the qualitative analysis, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair values of the Tissue Reconstruction and Neurosurgery reporting units were greater than their carrying amounts. Therefore, it was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company observed a decline in the market valuation of the Company’s common stock along with a volatile macroeconomic environment due to continuing tensions in global trade relationships and the ongoing military conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran. As a result, the Company has evaluated whether an event has occurred or circumstances changed that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount as of March 31, 2026, and determined it was not more likely than not that the fair values of the Tissue Reconstruction and Neurosurgery reporting units was less than their respective carrying values. The Company will continue to evaluate changes in events and circumstances which could impact this conclusion in the future, including quantitative and qualitative factors such as the Company’s market capitalization or macroeconomic conditions affecting the Company’s forecast results. If an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount, the Company will perform an interim assessment of goodwill for impairment. The Company will also continue to monitor conditions that may require the Company to perform an interim assessment of its intangible assets for impairment.

Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives
The Company does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite lives but tests its intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the third quarter in accordance with ASC 350. Additionally, the Company performs interim tests of its intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. The Company tests for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors, including specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass this qualitative evaluation and perform a quantitative test.
During the second quarter of 2025 the Company performed a quantitative assessment of its Codman tradename intangible asset in accordance with ASC 350 due to the decrease in the price per share of the Company’s common stock related to a number of factors including recent tariff changes that have created broad economic uncertainty and the impact of quality, operational, and supply issues. In performing this test, the Company utilized a discount rate of 14.5%. The assumptions used in evaluating the Codman tradename for impairment are subject to change and are tracked against historical results by management. Based on the results of the quantitative test, the Company recorded no impairment to the Codman tradename intangible asset.
In the third quarter of 2025, the Company performed its annual test of its intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment and completed a qualitative evaluation of its Codman tradename intangible asset. After performing the qualitative analysis, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Codman tradename intangible asset was greater than its carrying amount. Therefore, it was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test.
Intangible Assets with Definite Lives
Developed technologies and other definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives either using the straight-line method or, if reliably determinable, based on the pattern of which the economic benefit of the asset is expected to be utilized. Definite-lived intangible assets are periodically evaluated for impairment in accordance with FASB Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a definite-lived intangible asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable.
Total amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $27.0 million. Of this amount, $23.2 million was related to amortization of technology based intangibles and included in cost of goods sold.

6. DEBT
Amendment to the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On March 24, 2023, the Company entered into the March 2023 Amendment of the Senior Credit Facility with a syndicate of lending banks with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The March 2023 Amendment of the Senior Credit Facility extended the maturity date to March 24, 2028, amended the contractual repayments of the term loan component, and amended the interest rate from LIBOR to SOFR-indexed interest. The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries, excluding intangible assets. The Senior Credit Facility is subject to various financial and negative covenants and, at March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
On June 6, 2025, in response to the risks and uncertainties surrounding the Company’s future results of operations due to tariffs, the Company entered into the June 2025 Amendment of the Senior Credit Facility (the “June 2025 Amendment”) with a syndicate of lending banks with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The June 2025 Amendment did not increase the Company’s total indebtedness or extend the maturity date of the Senior Credit Facility.
Under the terms of the June 2025 Amendment, the Company’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (defined, as of any date of determination, as the ratio of (a) Consolidated Funded Indebtedness as of such date (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) less cash that is not subject to any restriction on the use or investment thereof to (b) Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility)) for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on such date was modified to the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| Fiscal Quarter Ending | | Maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio |
| June 30, 2025 through June 30, 2026 | | 5.00 to 1.00 |
| September 30, 2026 | | 4.75 to 1.00 |
| December 31, 2026 | | 4.50 to 1.00 |
| March 31, 2027 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter | | 4.00 to 1.00 |
| | |
In addition to the foregoing, from the date of the June 2025 Amendment through the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026 (the “Covenant Relief Period”), the Amendment, among other things, also: (i) temporarily establishes, during the Covenant Relief Period, a revised applicable rate schedule; (ii) temporarily limits, during the Covenant Relief Period, the Company’s ability to make certain investments; (iii) temporarily restricts, during the Covenant Relief Period, the Company’s ability to incur incremental indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility, create certain liens, make certain restricted payments and incur or guarantee indebtedness of excluded subsidiaries; and (iv) temporarily prohibits, during the Covenant Relief Period, the Company from selling, transferring or exclusively licensing material intellectual property to a subsidiary of the Company that is not a loan party under the Senior Credit Facility or designating any subsidiary that owns or exclusively licenses any material intellectual property as an excluded subsidiary under the Senior Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest under the applicable rate schedule, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to the following:
i.Term SOFR in effect from time to time plus 0.10% plus the applicable rate (ranging from 1.00% to 2.13% during the Covenant Relief Period and from 1.00% to 1.75% thereafter) or
ii.The highest of:
1.the weighted average overnight Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%;
2.the prime lending rate of Bank of America, N.A.; or
3.the one-month Term SOFR plus 1.00%.
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)
The applicable rates are based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on such date.
The Company will pay an annual commitment fee (ranging from 0.15% to 0.33% during the Covenant Relief Period and from 0.15% to 0.30% thereafter), based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, on the amount available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility component of the Senior Credit Facility.
In connection with the June 2025 Amendment, the Company incurred $3.9 million in fees to creditors and third parties.
The Company continues to have the aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $2.1 billion available to it through the following facilities: (i) a $775.0 million term loan facility, and (ii) a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility, which includes a $60.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $60.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. The terms of the Senior Credit Facility limit the amount of dividends the Company may pay.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was $1,075.0 million and $1,045.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the revolving credit facility component of the Senior Credit Facility. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was $716.9 million and $726.6 million outstanding under the term loan component of the Senior Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 5.9% and 5.7%, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 there was $38.8 million of the term loan component of the Senior Credit Facility classified as current on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The fair value of the term loan component and revolving credit facility component of the Senior Credit Facility at March 31, 2026 was $713.4 million, and $1,069.5 million, respectively. The fair value was determined by using a discounted cash flow model based on current market interest rates available to the Company. These inputs are corroborated by observable market data for similar liabilities and therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 inputs represent inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and are other than active market observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, letters of credit outstanding totaled $3.0 million. There were no amounts drawn under the letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2026.
Contractual repayments of the term loan component of the Senior Credit Facility are due as follows:

As of March 31, 2026 | | Principal Repayment |
| Dollars in thousands | | |
Remainder of 2026 | | $ | 29,063 | |
2027 | | 53,281 | |
2028 | | 634,531 | |
| | $ | 716,875 | |
Future interest payments on the term loan component of the Senior Credit Facility based on current interest rates are expected to approximate $31.3 million for the remainder of 2026, $39.5 million in 2027 and $8.6 million in 2028. Interest is calculated on the term loan component of the Senior Credit Facility based on SOFR plus the certain amounts set forth in the Senior Credit Facility. As the revolving credit facility component of the Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility (defined below) can be repaid at any time, no interest has been included in the calculation.
Any outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility component of the Senior Credit Facility are due on March 24, 2028.
Convertible Senior Notes
The Company’s 0.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) issued in February 2020 pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 7, 2020 (the “Original Indenture”), between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as trustee, matured on August 15, 2025. The 2025 Notes were settled upon maturity for $575.0 million in cash, excluding accrued interest, funded by borrowings on the revolving credit facility component of the Senior Credit Facility. No shares were issued to settle the 2025 Notes.
INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)
In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Notes, the Company entered into call transactions and warrant transactions, primarily with affiliates of the initial purchasers of the 2025 Notes (the “hedge participants”). The cost of the call transactions was $104.2 million for the 2025 Notes. The Company received $44.5 million of proceeds from the warrant transactions for the 2025 Notes. The call transactions involved purchasing call options from the hedge participants, and the warrant transactions involved selling call options to the hedge participants with a higher strike price than the purchased call options. The initial strike price of the call transactions was $73.67, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the 2025 Notes. The initial strike price of the warrant transactions was $113.34 for the 2025 Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The call transactions entered into with the hedge participants expired in August 2025 and the warrant transactions entered into with the hedge participants expired ratably over the period from November 2025 through February 2026.
Securitization Facility
The Company maintains an accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”) under which accounts receivable of certain domestic subsidiaries are sold on a non-recourse basis to a special purpose entity (“SPE”), which is a bankruptcy-remote, consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, the assets of the SPE are not available to satisfy the obligations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. From time to time, the SPE may finance such accounts receivable with a revolving loan facility secured by a pledge of such accounts receivable. The amount of outstanding borrowings on the Securitization Facility at any one time is limited to $150.0 million. The Securitization Facility Agreement (“Securitization Agreement”) governing the Securitization Facility contains certain covenants and termination events. An occurrence of an event of default or a termination event under this Securitization Agreement may give rise to the right of its counterparty to terminate this facility. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the covenants and none of the termination events had occurred.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $76.4 million and $87.8 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings under its Securitization Facility with an interest rate of 4.7% and 4.8%, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding borrowing of the Securitization Facility at March 31, 2026 was $73.1 million. These fair values were determined by using a discounted cash flow model based on current market interest rates available to the Company. These inputs are corroborated by observable market data for similar liabilities and therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 inputs represent inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and are other than active market observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities.
On April 10, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to the Securitization Facility Agreement with a syndicate of lending banks with PNC Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “2026 Securitization Facility Amendment”). The 2026 Securitization Facility Amendment extended the maturity date from December 15, 2026 to April 10, 2029 and modified the terms of certain financial covenants and termination events but did not increase the borrowing capacity available to the Company under the Securitization Facility. Under the terms of the 2026 Securitization Facility Amendment, fees on the Company’s borrowings drawn under the Securitization Facility were modified and will range between 95 basis points and 125 basis points based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. The Company incurred approximately $0.3 million of new issuance costs associated with the 2026 Securitization Facility Amendment which will be amortized over the remaining term of the Securitization Agreement as amended.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs associated with the Senior Credit Facility (other than the revolving credit facility component) are presented as a reduction to the carrying value of the related debt. Debt issuance costs associated with the revolving credit facility component of the Senior Credit Facility are capitalized within other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Interest Rate Hedging
The Company’s interest rate risk relates to U.S. dollar denominated variable interest rate borrowings. The Company uses interest rate swap derivative instruments to manage earnings and cash flow exposure resulting from changes in interest rates. These interest rate swaps apply a fixed interest rate on a portion of the Company’s expected SOFR-indexed borrowings. Additionally, the Company entered into a basis swap where the Company receives Term SOFR and pays daily compounded SOFR to convert the portfolio of swaps from daily compounded SOFR to Term SOFR.
The Company held the following interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (dollar amounts in thousands):

The interest rate swaps are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair values were recorded as unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Related gain/loss amounts recognized in AOCI and earnings are presented in the Effects of Derivative Instruments table below. The estimated gain that is expected to be reclassified to interest income from AOCI as of March 31, 2026 within the next twelve months is $17.4 million.
The Company has designated these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company assesses the effectiveness of these derivative instruments and has recorded the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge as unrealized gains or losses in AOCI, net of tax, until the hedged item affected earnings, at which point any gain or loss was reclassified to earnings. If the hedged cash flow does not occur, or if it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company will reclassify the remaining amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge recorded in AOCI to interest expense at that time.

Foreign Currency Hedging
From time to time, the Company enters into foreign currency hedge contracts intended to protect the U.S. dollar value of certain forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions. The Company assesses the effectiveness of the contracts that are designated as hedging instruments. The changes in fair value of foreign currency cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI, net of tax. Those amounts are subsequently reclassified to earnings from AOCI as impacted by the hedged item when the hedged item affects earnings. If the hedged forecasted transaction does not occur or if it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company will reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to earnings at that time. For contracts not designated as hedging instruments, the changes in fair value of the contracts are recognized in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operation, along with the offsetting foreign currency gain or loss on the underlying assets or liabilities.
The success of the Company’s hedging anticipated currency exchange gains or losses to the extent that there are differences between forecasted and actual activities during periods of currency volatility. In addition, changes in currency exchange rates related to any unhedged transactions may affect earnings and cash flows.
Cross-Currency Rate Swaps
The objective of these cross-currency swaps is to reduce volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in the foreign currency exchange rate. Under the terms of these contracts, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, the Company will make interest payments in Swiss francs (“CHFs”) and receive interest in U.S. dollars. Upon the maturity of these contracts, the Company will pay the principal amount of the loans in CHFs and receive U.S. dollars from the counterparties.
In December 2020, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements to convert a notional amount of $471.6 million equivalent to 420.1 million of a CHF-denominated intercompany loan into U.S. dollars. The CHF-denominated intercompany loan was the result of an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights to a subsidiary in Switzerland completed during the fourth quarter of 2020. The intercompany loan requires quarterly principal payments of CHF 5.8 million plus accrued interest. As a result, the aggregate notional amount of the related cross-currency swaps will decrease by a corresponding amount. In February 2025, the Company amended the CHF-denominated intercompany loan to extend the maturity to December 2030. Concurrently, the Company amended the cross-currency swap agreement, with a notional amount of $368.4 million, equivalent to CHF 328.1 million, to extend the maturity to December 2030.
In November 2025, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements to convert an aggregate notional amount of $170.0 million equivalent to 137.6 million of two CHF-denominated intercompany loans into U.S. dollars. The CHF-denominated intercompany loans were the result of an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights to a subsidiary in Switzerland completed during the fourth quarter of 2025. The intercompany loan of CHF 80.9 million which matures in September 2028 requires quarterly interest payments and annual principal payments of CHF 8.1 million in September 2026 and September 2027; the intercompany loan of CHF 56.6 million which matures in September 2030 requires quarterly interest payments and a principal payment of CHF 8.1 million in September 2029. As the principal outstanding decreases on the intercompany loans, the aggregate notional amount of the related cross-currency swaps will decrease by a corresponding amount.
The Company held the following cross-currency rate swaps as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Net Investment Hedges
The Company manages certain foreign exchange risks through a variety of strategies, including hedging. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk from its international operations through foreign currency purchases, net investments in foreign subsidiaries, and foreign currency assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business.
In February 2025, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap agreement with a notional amount of CHF 67.8 million equivalent to $75.0 million, where the Company agreed with third-parties to sell CHF in exchange for U.S. dollars at a specified rate at the maturity of the contract. The new cross-currency swap agreement was designated as a net investment hedge to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on foreign subsidiaries.
On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap agreement with a notional amount of CHF 59.7 million, equivalent to $75.0 million, where the Company agreed with third-parties to sell CHF in exchange for U.S. dollars at a specified rate at the maturity of the contract.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company has entered into forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges for forecasted purchases in foreign currencies, primarily CHF-denominated intercompany purchases. These contracts typically settle at various dates within twelve months of execution. As of March 31, 2026, the notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts was CHF 14.1 million. The foreign currency forward contracts are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair values were recorded as unrealized gains or losses in AOCI. The changes in fair value will be recognized into earnings as a component of cost of sales when the forecasted-transaction occurs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, amounts reclassified to earnings included (i) the effective hedge component amounts of $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, within cost of goods sold, and (ii) forward‑points amortization of $(0.1) million and $(0.2) million, respectively, within other income (expense), net. Related gain/loss amounts recognized in AOCI and earnings are presented in the Effects of Derivative Instruments table below.
On April 28, 2026, the Company entered into foreign currency forwards with a notional amount of CHF 3.1 million to be designated as a cash flow hedge to mitigate the exchange rate risk of CHF-denominated intercompany purchases. These contracts settle at various dates within twelve months of execution.
Counterparty Credit Risk
The Company manages its concentration of counterparty credit risk on its derivative instruments by limiting acceptable counterparties to a group of major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, and by actively monitoring their credit ratings and outstanding positions on an ongoing basis. Therefore, the Company considers the credit risk of the counterparties to be low. Furthermore, none of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to collateral or other security arrangements, and none contain provisions that depend upon the Company’s credit ratings from any credit rating agency.
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
The Company has classified all of its derivative instruments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because observable inputs are available for the derivative instruments. The fair values of the interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps were developed using a market approach based on publicly available market yield curves and the terms of the swap. The Company performs ongoing assessments of counterparty credit risk.

Derivative Instruments not Designated Hedges
From time to time, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate risk from the fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with intercompany balances in Chinese yuan (“CNH”) CHF, and EUR. These contracts typically settle at various dates within twelve months of execution. As of March 31, 2026, the notional amounts totaled CNH 30.0 million, CHF 4.0 million, and EUR 7.0 million equivalent to $4.4 million, $5.1 million, and $8.2 million, respectively.
In 2021, the Company entered into a foreign currency swap, with a notional amount of JPY 800.0 million, equivalent to $7.3 million, to mitigate the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with an intercompany loan denominated in Japanese yen. In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between one currency and another currency at a fixed exchange rate, generally set at inception, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. The notional amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by each party. The Company subsequently paid down a portion of this swap, bringing the notional amount down to JPY 400.0 million, equivalent to $3.6 million as of March 31, 2026.
The fair value of the foreign currency swaps not designated as hedges was $1.3 million and $1.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had stock options, restricted stock awards, performance stock units and restricted stock units outstanding under the Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation Fifth Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2003 Plan”).
Stock options issued under the 2003 Plan become exercisable over specified periods, generally within four years from the date of grant for officers and employees, within one year from date of grant for directors which generally expire eight years from the grant date for employees, and from six to ten years for directors and certain executive officers, except in certain instances that result in accelerated vesting due to death, disability, retirement age or change-in-control provisions within their grant agreements. The Company values stock option grants using the binomial distribution model. Restricted stock issued under the 2003 Plan vests over specified periods, generally three years after the date of grant. The vesting of performance stock issued under the 2003 Plan is subject to service and performance conditions.
Stock Options
As of March 31, 2026, there were approximately $4.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three years. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Restricted Stock and Performance Stock
Performance stock units, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards generally have requisite service periods of three years, except in certain instances that result in accelerated vesting due to death, disability, retirement age provision or change-in-control provisions in their grant agreements. Performance stock units are subject to graded vesting conditions based on specific revenue and profitability targets. The Company expenses the fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. As of March 31, 2026, there was approximately $54.2 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to these unvested awards. The Company expects to recognize these costs over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. The Company granted 2,397,075 restricted stock units and 1,149,357 performance stock units during the three months ended March 31, 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the weighted average grant date fair value for restricted stock units and performance stock units granted was $9.79 and $9.61 per award, respectively.
The Company also maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which provides eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire shares of common stock at periodic intervals by means of accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP is a non-compensatory plan based on its terms.
9. RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has various defined benefit plans which cover certain employees in France, Japan, Germany and Switzerland.
Net periodic benefit costs for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $0.4 million. The components of the net periodic benefit costs other than the service cost component of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are included in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Net periodic benefit costs for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $0.4 million. The components of the net periodic benefit costs other than the service cost component of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are included in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
The estimated fair values of plan assets were $71.1 million and $71.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The net plan assets of the pension plans are invested in common trusts as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Common trusts are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of common trusts is valued at the net asset value based on the fair values of the underlying investments of the trusts as determined by the sponsor of the trusts. The investment strategy of the Company’s defined benefit plans is both to meet the liabilities of the plans as they fall due and to maximize the return on invested assets within an appropriate risk profile.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan in which certain employees of the Company may defer the payment and taxation of up to 75% of their base salary and up to 100% of bonus amounts and other eligible cash compensation.

This deferred compensation is invested in funds offered under this plan and is valued based on Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. Assets of the Company’s deferred compensation plan are included in other current assets and recorded at fair value based on their quoted market prices. The fair value of these assets were $7.3 million and $7.9 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Offsetting liabilities relating to the deferred compensation plan are included in other liabilities.
10. LEASES AND RELATED PARTY LEASES
The Company leases administrative, manufacturing, research and distribution facilities, equipment and vehicles through operating lease agreements. The Company has no finance leases as of March 31, 2026. Many of the Company’s facility leases include both lease (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area or other maintenance costs). For vehicles, the Company has elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components.
Most facility leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at the Company’s sole discretion, therefore, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in the Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company regularly evaluates renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal period is included in the lease term.
As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.
Total operating lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 was $6.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively, which includes $0.1 million in related party operating lease expense.

Related Party Leases
The Company leases one of its manufacturing facilities in Plainsboro, New Jersey, from a general partnership that is 50% owned by a principal stockholder of the Company. The term of the current lease agreement is through October 31, 2029 at an annual rate of approximately $0.3 million. The current lease agreement also provides (i) a 5-year renewal option for the Company to extend the lease from November 1, 2029 through October 31, 2034 at the fair market rental rate of the premises, and (ii) another 5-year renewal option to extend the lease from November 1, 2034 through October 31, 2039 at the fair market rental rate of the premises.
11. TREASURY STOCK
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 14.4 million and 14.4 million shares of treasury stock outstanding with a cost of $687.1 million and $689.2 million, respectively, at a weighted average cost per share of $47.86 for both periods.
On December 31, 2025, the Company’s share repurchase program expired. At the time of expiration, approximately $50.0 million remained available for repurchase. The Company did not adopt a new share repurchase program upon the expiration.
12. INCOME TAXES
The following table provides a summary of the Company’s effective tax rate:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| 2026 | | 2025 | | | | |
| Reported tax rate | (91.7) | % | | 15.8 | % | | | | |
The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were (91.7)% and 15.8%, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily driven by a $2.9 million tax expense related to a shortfall from stock-based compensation, due to market conditions. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was driven by federal, state, and international tax benefits generated from operating losses in certain jurisdictions, offset by a $2.1 million tax expense related to a shortfall from stock-based compensation.
Changes to income tax laws and regulations, in any of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, could impact the effective tax rate. Various governments, both U.S. and non-U.S., are increasingly focused on tax reform and revenue-raising legislation. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S., with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The OBBBA included the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the immediate expensing of previously capitalized research and development costs, and reduced limitations on interest expense deductions, among other provisions.

Further, the Company continues to monitor legislation in foreign jurisdictions, enacted in response to ongoing efforts led by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”). The OECD released Pillar Two model rules, defining a new 15% global minimum tax for each jurisdiction in which a multinational corporation operates, effective beginning in 2024.

| | | | | | | |
| Diluted net loss per common share | $ | (0.06) | | | $ | (0.33) | | | | | |
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include employee equity share options, non-vested shares, and similar equity instruments granted by the Company. Potential common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For periods in which the Company generated a net loss, the Company does not include the potential impact of dilutive securities in diluted net loss per share, as the impact of these items is anti-dilutive.
Common stock of approximately 1.6 million and 1.6 million shares at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income and diluted net loss per share, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

15. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company is organized primarily on the basis of products and operates two global reportable segments. Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, which the Company has determined to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”).
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company renamed its two reportable segments to better align with the reportable segments’ business activities, structures, and strategies. The reportable segment name change did not result in any change to the composition of the reportable segments and has no impact on previously reported financial information. The two reportable segments and their activities are described below.
•The Specialty Surgery reportable segment operations consist of (i) the Neurosurgery business, which sells a full line of products for neurosurgery and neuro critical care such as tissue ablation equipment, dural repair products, cerebral spinal fluid management devices, intracranial monitoring equipment, and cranial stabilization equipment; (ii) the Instruments business, which sells more than 40,000 instrument patterns and surgical and lighting products to hospitals, surgery centers, dental, podiatry, and veterinary offices; and (iii) the ENT business, which includes instrumentation, balloon technologies for sinus dilation and eustachian tube dilation, as well as surgical navigation systems.
•The Tissue Reconstruction reportable segment operations consists of the Wound Reconstruction business, which sells offerings such as skin and wound repair, plastics and surgical reconstruction products and nerve and tendon repair products. The Tissue Reconstruction segment also includes the Company’s private label business which performs contract manufacturing for third parties.
The Corporate and Other category includes a portion of various executive, finance, human resource, information systems and legal functions which are not allocated to the reportable segments. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company updated the allocation of certain cost and expense information that the CODM regularly reviews to evaluate performance for decision-making purposes from the Corporate and Other category to the Company’s reportable segments to align with how the CODM reviews and manages the business. As a result of this update, the Company retrospectively recast prior period results, by reportable segment, to conform to the current period presentation. This update had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
For both reportable segments, the CODM uses segment revenue and segment operating income to assess the performance for each segment and in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis for segment revenue and segment operating income when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the reportable segments.
The operating results of the reportable segments as presented are not comparable to one another because (i) certain operating segments are more dependent than others on corporate functions for unallocated general and administrative and/or operational manufacturing functions and (ii) the Company does not allocate certain manufacturing costs and general and administrative costs to the reportable segments.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In consideration for certain technology, manufacturing, distribution, and selling rights and licenses granted to the Company, the Company has agreed to pay royalties on sales of certain products that it sells. The royalty payments that the Company made under these agreements were not significant for any of the periods presented.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is involved in, from time to time, various legal actions, including any matters described below, involving product liability, employment, intellectual property and commercial disputes, shareholder related matters, environmental proceedings, tax disputes, and governmental proceedings and investigations, some of which have been settled by the Company. In the opinion of management, such matters are either adequately covered by insurance or otherwise indemnified, or are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, it is possible that the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows in a particular period could be materially affected by these contingencies.
The Company accrues for loss contingencies when it is deemed probable that a loss has been incurred and that loss is estimable. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is recorded. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded and actual results may differ from these estimates. The amounts accrued are based on the full amount of the estimated loss before considering insurance proceeds and do not include an estimate for legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with the loss contingency. The Company consistently accrues legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with loss contingencies as those fees are incurred by outside counsel as a period cost.
On December 21, 2023, Fortis Advisors, LLC (representative of the security holders of ACell, Inc. (“ACell”)) filed for arbitration against Integra LifeSciences before the Court of International Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce claiming breach of contract related to the earnout consideration from the 2021 acquisition of ACell. Refer to the “Contingent Consideration” subheading of this Note for additional information on the ACell contingent consideration. The arbitration was held in September 2025. On April 15, 2026, the arbitration tribunal issued its decision finding in Integra’s favor on all claims and awarding the company its attorneys’ fees and costs to be paid by Fortis.
On September 12, 2023, a securities class action complaint, captioned Pembroke Pines Firefighters & Police Officers Pension Fund v. Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, No. 23-cv-20321 (D.N.J.), was filed by a purported stockholder of the Company in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Pembroke Litigation”) against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former executive officers. The Pembroke Litigation, filed on behalf of a putative class of stockholders who purchased or acquired the Company’s common stock between March 11, 2019 and May 22, 2023, inclusive, alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, on the basis of purportedly materially false and misleading statements and omissions relating to certain quality systems issues identified by the FDA at the Company’s Boston facility, the Company’s efforts to remediate those issues, and the Company’s forecasts for certain products in its Tissue Reconstruction segment. The complaint seeks, among other things, compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and other costs. The Company believes that it has strong defenses to the allegations in the Pembroke Litigation, and intends to continue to defend the matter vigorously. On July 1, 2025, the class action complaint was dismissed without prejudice. The plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint on August 14, 2025. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on October 14, 2025. On March 16, 2026, the plaintiffs filed their Supplemental Amended Complaint, in response to which the Company filed its Supplemental Motion to Dismiss on April 3, 2026.
On May 13, 2025 and May 16, 2025, derivative lawsuits captioned Leverett v. Integra LifeSciences Holding Corp. et al, No. 3:2025-cv-04214 (D.N.J.) and Simpkins v. Integra LifeSciences Holding Corp. et al, No. 3:2025-cv-04446 (D.N.J.) were filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The actions purport to assert derivative claims on behalf of the Company against its current Board of Directors and certain of its current or former officers and directors. The actions assert claims that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and harmed the Company by making false and misleading statements and omissions relating to certain quality systems issues identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) at the Company’s Boston, Massachusetts manufacturing facility, the Company’s efforts to remediate those issues, and the Company’s forecasts for certain products in its Tissue Reconstruction segment. The complaint seeks, among other things, compensatory damages, attorneys' fees, expert fees, and other costs. The Company believes that it has strong defenses to the allegations in the lawsuits and intends to defend the matters vigorously. These derivative actions have stayed pending resolution of the motion to dismiss in the Pembroke litigation.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)
As part of the acquisition of Surgical Innovations Associates, Inc. (“SIA”), the Company is required to pay to the former shareholders of SIA up to $90.0 million for two separate payments, which are dependent on (1) achieving certain revenue-based performance milestones in 2023, 2024, and 2025 (up to $50.0 million in additional payments), as well as (2) the approval by the FDA of the pre-market approval ("PMA") application for DuraSorb for certain uses by certain timing targets (up to $40.0 million in additional payments). The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration for the revenue based milestone to be $32.6 million at the acquisition date and $25.0 million for the PMA approval milestone at the acquisition date. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company paid out $18.1 million related to the 2024 performance year. Similarly, in the second quarter of 2024, the Company paid out $12.4 million related to the 2023 performance year. The Company calculated the remaining milestone payment for the 2025 performance year based on actual sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 and expects to make the 2025 performance year payment, totaling $18.1 million, in the second quarter of 2026. The Company used probabilities of achieving the conditions to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration for the PMA approval milestone.
17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FASB Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy of the inputs (i.e., assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability) used to measure fair value, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs in measuring fair value. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement. The three levels of the valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology are other observable inputs, including quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are based on management’s best estimate of inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company has investments in time deposits that are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, as well as certain debt obligations that are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The investments in time deposits are classified as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets which is determined based on maturities at the time of purchase and re-evaluated at each balance sheet date.
The Company also has investments in derivative instruments, which are comprised of interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, net investment hedges, and forward foreign currency contracts that are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using analyses obtained from independent third-party valuation specialists based on market observable inputs. The fair values of these derivative contracts represent the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. Refer to Note 7. Derivative Instruments for further discussion and information on these derivative contracts.
In addition, the Company has contingent consideration liabilities that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they are measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs, including management’s forecast of future revenues for the acquired businesses as well as management’s estimates of the likelihood of achieving the other specified criteria. Refer to Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on these contingent consideration liabilities.

GENERAL
Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation is a global medical technology company dedicated to restoring lives. We are advancing transformational care through impactful innovation and our portfolio of highly differentiated technologies is trusted by healthcare professionals to deliver transformative care.
We manufacture and sell medical technologies and products in two reportable business segments: Specialty Surgery (formerly, Codman Specialty Surgical) and Tissue Reconstruction (formerly, Tissue Technologies). The Specialty Surgery segment, which represents approximately 70% of our total revenue, consists of market-leading technologies and instrumentation used for a wide range of specialties, such as neurosurgery, neurocritical care, and otolaryngology, commonly referred to as ear, nose, and throat (“ENT”). We are the world leader in neurosurgery and one of the top three providers in the U.S. in instruments used in precision, specialty, and general surgical procedures. Our Tissue Reconstruction segment generates about 30% of our overall revenue and focuses on wound reconstruction and private label.
We have key manufacturing and research facilities located in California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Utah, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel and Switzerland. We source most of our handheld surgical instruments and dural sealant products through specialized third-party vendors.
OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGIES
We were the first company to receive an FDA claim for regeneration of dermal tissue and are a world leader in regenerative technology. We have developed numerous product lines from this technology for applications ranging from burn and deep tissue wounds to the repair of dura mater in the brain, as well as nerves and tendons. We have expanded our base regenerative technology business to include neurosurgical products, ENT, surgical instruments and wound reconstruction solutions through global acquisitions and product development to meet the evolving needs of our customers and enhance patient care.
SPECIALTY SURGERY
Neurosurgery: In neurosurgery, we are a global leader in neuro-access, neuro-surgical and neuro-monitoring technologies. Our product portfolio represents a continuum of care from pre-operative, to the neurosurgery operating room, to the neuro-critical care unit and post care for both adult and pediatric patients suffering from brain tumors, brain injury, cerebrospinal fluid pressure complications and other neurological conditions. This portfolio features leading brands such as Codman, Duraseal, CUSA, Mayfield and Duragen.
We offer leading technologies in dural repair, ultrasonic tissue ablation, intracranial pressure (“ICP”) monitoring, hydrocephalus management, and cranial stabilization systems, while providing a rich research and development pipeline for growth.
Surgical Instruments: Our specialty instrumentation portfolio includes a catalog of surgical headlamps, surgical instruments, as well as after-market service. With thousands of surgical instrument products, comprised of a comprehensive portfolio of reusable and disposable instruments, including forceps, retractors, scissors, and curettes, tailored for neurosurgery and spine surgery including specialty surgical instruments, we call on the central sterile processing unit of hospitals and acute care surgical centers. Additionally, through a strong U.S. distribution model, we can serve the needs of medical offices.
ENT Solutions: The Company’s ENT portfolio comprises a broad range of products including the TruDi® Navigation System featuring navigated surgical instrumentation, the RELIEVA SPINPLUS® Balloon Sinuplasty System, the AERA® Eustachian Tube Dilation System, and the MicroFrance ENT instrumentation line.
TISSUE RECONSTRUCTION
Our Tissue Reconstruction segment develops and markets a broad portfolio of regenerative tissue products and technologies primarily focused on wound reconstruction and care and private label. This segment serves a diverse range of specialties, including plastic and reconstructive surgery, general surgery, and wound management.
We currently utilize five unique regenerative technology platforms consisting of highly engineered bovine collagen (derived from bovine sources for structural support), bovine dermis (acellular dermal tissue for natural integration), porcine urinary bladder (extracellular matrix for cellular repopulation), human amniotic tissue (allografts as a wound cover), and resorbable synthetic mesh (biodegradable materials for temporary reinforcement). These technologies address clinical needs in treating acute wounds such as burns, chronic wounds including diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical tissue repair applications such as hernia reinforcement, tendon protection, and peripheral nerve repair.
Wound Reconstruction: We offer a broad portfolio of products and solutions addressing a full spectrum of needs when managing complex wounds including acute wounds (e.g., burns and trauma), chronic wounds (e.g., diabetic foot ulcers and venous ulcers), and other complex wound types. The goal is to support the body’s wound healing process by providing scaffolds that create a wound environment that facilitates cellular invasion and revascularization. These products are often used in hospital settings, wound care clinics, or outpatient procedures.
We offer a continuum of advanced solutions for plastic and reconstructive surgery, complex hernias, and general surgery, including devices for implantation to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists and for surgical repair of damaged or ruptured soft tissue membranes. These products provide structural support and promote tissue integration to address areas of tissue weakness. They are bioresorbable or acellular to minimize long-term foreign body reactions and reduce complications like adhesions or infections.
Private Label: We offer extensive expertise in collagen biomaterials for other medical technology companies that sell to end markets primarily in spine, surgical and wound care. We manufacture a broad set of our regenerative and wound care technologies that are available for private label distribution by our customers, produce raw materials that can be integrated into our customers’ production processes, and have the expertise to design, develop and manufacture products to meet the specific needs of our customers.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
An important part of Integra’s growth strategy is introducing new products to strengthen and expand our portfolio through clinical evidence to support regulatory approval and strong reimbursement of our product portfolio around the world, including new indications for existing technologies. Our research and development activities focus on identifying unmet surgical needs and addressing those needs with innovative solutions and products. Investment in research and development is critical to driving our future growth. Our research and development efforts are focused on the further development and improvement of our existing products, the design and development of new innovative medical technologies and regulatory compliance across all our business segments. We apply our core competency in regenerative technology to innovate products for neurosurgical, wound applications, plastic surgery, and reconstructive surgery and we have extensive R&D development programs for our core platforms of electromechanical technologies.
Additionally, we conduct projects and clinical studies to generate efficacy and health economic evidence. The Company has continued its investments in clinical education as a key value driver to leverage its global footprint, enhanced digital content, and strengthened its clinical network. As part of this objective, the Company remains committed to participation in clinical research demonstrating the efficacy of its products prior to market introduction, and in supporting the clinical education and technical training.
Neurosurgery, Surgical Instruments, and ENT Solutions. The Specialty Surgery neurosurgical business consists of a broad portfolio of market-leading brands, which are used for the management of multiple disease states, including brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, hydrocephalus and other neurological conditions. The growth in this business in recent years has been fueled by geographic expansion and new product registrations in markets, such as China, Japan, and Europe, which we expect to continue in the near-to-long term. We have several active programs focused on life cycle management and innovation for capital and disposable products in our portfolio. Our product development efforts are focused on core clinical applications in cerebrospinal fluid (“CSF”) management, neuro-critical care monitoring, minimally invasive instruments and electrosurgery and ultrasonic medical technologies, as well as our ambition to transform the standard of care in neurosurgery with product advancements in minimally invasive surgery (“MIS”) and the surgical management of intracerebral hemorrhage (“ICH”).
We continue to advance the CerebroFlo® external ventricular drainage (“EVD”), a catheter with Endexo® technology. The Endexo polymer in polyurethane is a permanent additive which has shown to be effective in reducing platelet adhesion in-vitro, reducing thrombus accumulation in-vitro and in vivo, and reducing the clinical incidence of thrombus formation. In vitro evaluations and in vivo animal evaluations do not necessarily predict the clinical performance of the SureFlo EVD Catheter with respect to thrombus formation. The incidence of thrombus formation on polyurethane containing Endexo polymer in other medical devices and/or tissues systems does not necessarily predict the clinical performance of the SureFlo EVD Catheter for the intended use of CSF external drainage and monitoring. The CerebroFlo EVD catheter has demonstrated an average of 99% less thrombus accumulation onto its surface, in vitro, compared to a market leading EVD catheter. Our work to combine our Bactiseal antimicrobial technology with the Endexo anti-occlusive technology continues to progress for both a silicone-based hydrocephalus and EVD product.
We also continue to advance the Aurora® Surgiscope, which is the only tubular retractor system designed for cranial surgery with an integrated access channel, camera and lighting. The 15mm x 60mm and 15mm x 80mm Aurora Surgiscope System version received 510(k) clearance from the FDA in 2025.
In July 2025, we announced the inaugural enrollment of the first patient in the AERA Pediatric Registry, a prospective, multi-center observational registry evaluating the real-world use of the AERA Eustachian Tube Balloon Dilation System in children. This marks the focused effort to measure the ongoing, clinical performance of AERA in pediatric patients with obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction. The registry is designed to capture both safety and efficacy outcomes for up to 300 pediatric patients who undergo Eustachian tube balloon dilation using AERA.
In September 2025, the Mayfield® Ghost Base Unit Post launched in the U.S., which is designed to help provide clear visualization of anatomical structure and to support surgical accuracy and patient positioning.
In November 2025, we received 510(k) clearance for the use of the CUSA Clarity system for cardiac surgeries, used for the debridement of unwanted tissue in cardiac surgeries, including valve replacement and repair.
Regenerative Technologies. Our regenerative technology development program applies our expertise in bioengineering to a range of biomaterials including natural materials such as purified collagen, intact human or animal tissues, honey as well as resorbable synthetic polymers with our DuraSorb and DuraSeal® product lines. These unique product designs are used for neurosurgical and reconstructive surgical applications, as well as dermal regeneration. Our regenerative technology platform includes our legacy Integra® Dermal Regeneration Template (“IDRT”) products and complementary technologies that we have acquired. Our collagen manufacturing capability, combined with our history of innovation, provides us with strong platform technologies for multiple indications.
In the third quarter of 2021, we filed a PMA application for a specific indication for SurgiMend® in the use of post-mastectomy breast reconstruction and in July 2024 received approvable pending GMP status from FDA, which approved and closed out the clinical portion of this PMA application. We currently expect the Braintree facility to be operational in June 2026, with PMA approval anticipated to follow in 2027. We are also pursuing a PMA for DuraSorb for use in implant-based breast reconstruction (“IBBR”). We completed enrollment for the DuraSorb U.S. investigational device exemption clinical study for two-stage breast reconstruction in June 2023; completed treatment in 2024, completed patient 1-year follow up in 2025, and we continue to advance the PMA application. Currently, we hope to secure PMA approval for DuraSorb in 2027.
In 2024, we acquired the product rights for Durepair Dural Regeneration Matrix, a suturable dural graft which complements our portfolio of dural grafts and sealants, and subsequently launched the product for commercial sale in the U.S. in October 2025.
EUROPEAN UNION MEDICAL DEVICE REGULATION UPDATES
We continue to work towards certifying our products under the EU MDR. In recent years, we received EU MDR certification in our Specialty Surgery segment for Hakim Programmable Valves, Certas Plus with and without Bactiseal catheters, Surgical Patties and Strips, DuraSeal Dural and Xact, CUSA Clarity, DuraGen Suturable, Cranial Drills and Perforators, as well as IDRT, BioPatch, MicroMatrix, and Cytal in our Tissue Reconstruction segment. We do not currently anticipate any significant disruption to our commercial activities in Europe related to EU MDR.
FDA MATTERS
On December 19, 2024, the Company received a warning letter from the FDA (the “2024 Warning Letter”). The 2024 Warning Letter relates to quality system issues identified during FDA inspections at three of the Company’s facilities located in Mansfield, Massachusetts; Plainsboro, New Jersey; and Princeton, New Jersey. The 2024 Warning Letter did not identify any new observations that had not already been provided in the Form 483s previously issued to the Company by the FDA at the conclusion of its three inspections in June and August of 2024 (the “2024 Form 483s”). In the 2024 Form 483s, the FDA deemed certain of the Company’s devices, including cranial perforators, disposable cottonoid patties and strips, and collagen-based products, to be out of compliance with respect to quality system regulations. At that time, the Company took a number of voluntary actions including the initiation of shipping holds for several products and a voluntary recall of the disposable patties and strips. The 2024 Warning Letter does not restrict the Company’s ability to manufacture or ship products, require recall of any products, nor restrict the Company’s ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of products. The 2024 Warning Letter states that premarket approval applications for Class III devices to which the quality system regulation violations are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been corrected. The Company has submitted several responses to the 2024 Form 483s issued to each of the three manufacturing facilities to the FDA and has submitted several updates to the 2024 Warning Letter throughout 2025.
On March 7, 2019, TEI Biosciences, Inc. (“TEI”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, received a Warning Letter (the “2019 Warning Letter”), dated March 6, 2019, from the FDA. The 2019 Warning Letter was related to quality systems issues at TEI’s manufacturing facility located in Boston, Massachusetts (the “Boston facility”). The Boston facility manufactured extracellular bovine matrix products in our Tissue Reconstruction segment that were sold both in wound reconstruction and care and surgical reconstruction franchises, and in private label channels. The 2019 Warning Letter resulted from an inspection held at the Boston facility in October and November 2018 and did not identify any new observations that were not already provided in the Form 483 that followed the inspection. We submitted our initial response to the 2019 Warning Letter on March 28, 2019 and provide regular progress reports to the FDA as to our corrective actions. On October 28, 2021, the FDA initiated an inspection of the Boston facility and at the conclusion of the inspection, issued an FDA Form 483 on November 12, 2021 (the “2021 Form 483”). On March 1, 2023, the FDA commenced an inspection of the Boston facility and issued an FDA Form 483 at the conclusion of this inspection (the “2023 Form 483”). In May 2023, after consultation with the FDA, the Company initiated a voluntary global recall of all products manufactured at the Boston facility, including PriMatrix, SurgiMend, Revize™, and TissueMend™, distributed between March 1, 2018 and May 22, 2023 (the “Boston recall”). On July 19, 2023, TEI received a Warning Letter, dated July 17, 2023, from the FDA related to quality system issues at the Boston facility (the “2023 Warning Letter”). The 2023 Warning Letter did not identify any new observations that had not already been provided in the 2023 Form 483. The Company has submitted periodic responses to the FDA for both the 2023 Form 483 and the 2023 Warning Letter. We are committed to resolving the matters identified in the warning letters and Form 483s and are continuing significant efforts to remediate the observations.
Although the warning letters do not restrict the Company’s ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of products, PMAs for Class III devices to which the quality system regulation violations are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been addressed. Following its assessment of the results of a third-party audit of the Boston facility, the Company announced in the second quarter of 2024 that it no longer planned to restart the manufacture of PriMatrix and SurgiMend at its Boston facility. The restart of the manufacturing of SurgiMend will occur at the Company’s new tissue manufacturing facility in Braintree, Massachusetts (the “Braintree transition”). The Company anticipates the Braintree facility to be operational in 2026. In addition, the Company entered into a new third-party agreement, which facilitated the relaunch of PriMatrix, as well as Durepair Dural Regeneration Matrix in 2025, ahead of previously disclosed timelines.
We cannot give any assurances that the FDA will be satisfied with our response to the issues identified by the FDA in any of the foregoing Form 483s or warning letters or as to the expected date of the resolution of such issues. Until the issues cited by the FDA are resolved to the FDA’s satisfaction, the FDA may initiate additional regulatory action without further notice. Any adverse regulatory action, depending on its magnitude, may restrict us from effectively manufacturing, marketing and selling our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
OPTIMIZATION ACTIVITIES
As a result of audits and inspections by regulatory agencies as well as our own review of the Company’s quality management system, we have implemented our enterprise-wide CMP, with the objective of providing a systematic and holistic approach to improving our quality management system across our manufacturing and supply network. The primary objectives of the CMP are to remediate quality system gaps, harmonize our quality management system and enhance the quality culture across the Company. The Company has completed baseline audits across all manufacturing facilities, conducted CMP training, and has made significant progress in its prioritized work streams. Our efforts to implement the CMP are expected to continue and although we anticipate improvements to our quality management system, such results remain uncertain.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, we approved a restructuring initiative to improve the Company’s operational performance by strengthening the stability and resilience of our supply chain, strengthening global commercial capabilities and advancing our prioritization and execution discipline. We expect to incur aggregate restructuring costs associated with this initiative of approximately $12.3 million related to severance and other employee costs. The costs will be incurred as specific actions required as part of the initiative are identified and approved and are expected to continue through the end of 2026. The amounts and timing of estimated restructuring costs are subject to change until finalized; actual amounts and timing may vary materially based on various factors. During 2025, we incurred $8.5 million of restructuring costs related to this initiative. In the first quarter of 2026, we incurred an additional $3.8 million in restructuring related expenses, consistent with the previously announced plans.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Summary
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $(4.6) million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $(25.3) million, or $(0.33) per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The net loss decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to the reduced impact of quality and operational issues in the current year compared to prior period.

We typically define special charges as items for which the amounts and/or timing of such expenses may vary significantly from period to period, depending upon our acquisition, divestiture, integration and restructuring activities; items for which the amounts are non-cash in nature; and items which are not expected to recur at the same magnitude. We believe that given our ongoing strategy of seeking acquisitions, our continuing focus on rationalizing our existing manufacturing and distribution infrastructure and our continuing review of various product lines in relation to our current business strategy, some of the special charges discussed above could recur with similar materiality in the future.
We believe that the separate identification of these special charges provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Investors may find this information useful in assessing the comparability of our operating performance from period to period, against the business model objectives that management has established, and against other companies in our industry. We provide this information to investors so that they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and to use this information in their assessment of our core business and valuation of the Company.
Revenues and Gross Margin
The Company’s revenues and gross margin on product revenues were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| Dollars in thousands | 2026 | | 2025 | | | | |
| Segment Net Sales | | | |
| Specialty Surgery | $ | 283,135 | | $ | 280,664 | | | | |

| Gross margin as a percentage of total revenues | 55.4 | % | | 50.8 | % | | | | |
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 as Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Revenues and Gross Margin
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, total revenues increased by $9.3 million to $391.9 million from $382.7 million for the same period in 2025, representing low-single digit growth compared to the same period in the prior year.
In the Specialty Surgery segment, revenues were $283.1 million which represents an increase of $2.5 million, or 1% as compared to the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency of $4.1 million, the increase in revenue is primarily driven by Neurosurgery, offset by decreases in our Instrument and ENT business.
In the Tissue Reconstruction segment, revenues were $108.8 million which represents an increase of $6.8 million, or 7% as compared to the prior-year period. This is primarily attributable to growth in Integra Skin, which recovered from prior year supply issues, Primatrix and Durasorb, offset by the impact of quality and operational issues associated with Medihoney.
Gross margin was $217.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $22.6 million from $194.4 million for the same period in 2025. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 55.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 50.8% for the same period in 2025. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to higher revenues and a reduction in costs related to the Braintree remediation.
Operating Expenses
The following is a summary of operating expenses as a percent of total revenues:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Research and development | 6.0 | % | | 6.5 | % |
| Selling, general and administrative | 45.5 | % | | 47.4 | % |
| Intangible asset amortization | 1.0 | % | | 1.0 | % |
| | | |
| Total operating expenses | 52.5 | % | | 54.9 | % |
Total operating expenses, which consist of research and development, selling, general and administrative, and amortization expenses, decreased by $4.4 million, or 2.1%, to $205.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $209.9 million in the same period in 2025.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $1.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily attributable to cost management initiatives in the current year.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $3.3 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due a reduction in Acclarent integration costs and reduced spending in EU MDR.
Intangible Asset Amortization
Amortization expense (which does not include amounts reported in cost of product revenues for technology-based intangible assets) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $3.8 million compared to $3.7 million for the same period in the prior year.
Non-Operating Income and Expenses
The following is a summary of non-operating income and expense:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| Dollars in thousands | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Interest income | $ | 4,106 | | | $ | 4,420 | |
| Interest expense | (22,465) | | | (18,815) | |
| | | |
| Other income (expense), net | 4,480 | | | (144) | |
| Total non-operating income and expense | $ | (13,879) | | | $ | (14,539) | |
Interest Income
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $0.3 million as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $3.7 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher interest rates on the borrowings under the revolving credit facility component of the Senior Credit Facility as compared to the interest rates on the 2025 Notes, which was repaid in August 2025.
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 changed by $4.6 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by higher income recognized on our cross currency swap contracts.
Income Taxes
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| Dollars in thousands | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Loss before income taxes | $ | (2,409) | | | $ | (30,036) | |
| Provision (benefit) for income taxes | 2,208 | | | (4,743) | |
| Effective tax rate | (91.7) | % | | 15.8 | % |
The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were (91.7)% and 15.8%, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily driven by a $2.9 million tax expense related to a shortfall from stock-based compensation, due to market conditions. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was driven by federal, state, and international tax benefits generated from operating losses in certain jurisdictions, offset by a $2.1 million tax expense related to a shortfall from stock-based compensation.
The effective tax rate may vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of taxable earnings and losses, tax planning and settlements with various taxing authorities. We consider these factors and others, including the Company’s history of generating taxable earnings, in assessing our ability to realize tax assets on a quarterly basis.
Additionally, changes to income tax laws and regulations, in any of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, could impact the effective tax rate. Various governments, both U.S. and non-U.S., are increasingly focused on tax reform and revenue-raising legislation. On July 4, 2025 the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S., with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The OBBBA included the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the immediate expensing of previously capitalized research and development costs, and reduced limitations on interest expense deductions, among other provisions.
Further, the Company continues to monitor legislation in foreign jurisdictions, enacted in response to ongoing efforts led by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”). The OECD released Pillar Two model rules, defining a new 15% global minimum tax for each jurisdiction in which a multinational corporation operates, effective beginning in 2024.
GEOGRAPHIC PRODUCT REVENUES AND OPERATIONS
We attribute revenues to geographic areas based on the location of the customer. Total revenue by major geographic area consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| Dollars in thousands | 2026 | | 2025 | | | | |
| United States | $ | 289,380 | | | $ | 282,217 | | | | | |
| Europe | 39,962 | | | 35,326 | | | | | |
| Asia Pacific | 45,212 | | | 45,105 | | | | | |
| Rest of World | 17,364 | | | 20,005 | | | | | |
| Total Revenues | $ | 391,918 | | | $ | 382,653 | | | | | |
We generate significant revenues outside the U.S., a portion of which are U.S. dollar-denominated transactions conducted with customers that generate revenue in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which those customers do business could have an impact on the demand for our products in foreign countries. Local economic conditions, regulatory compliance or political considerations, the effectiveness of our sales representatives and distributors, local competition and changes in local medical practice all may combine to affect our sales into markets outside the U.S.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working Capital
Working capital consists of total current assets less total current liabilities as presented in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s working capital as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $825.2 million and $703.6 million, respectively. The increase in working capital is driven by the 2026 amendment of our Securitization Facility, which resulted in the reclassification of borrowings from current liabilities to long term liabilities.
Cash and Marketable Securities
The Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $236.8 million and $235.0 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which are valued based on Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2026, our non-U.S. subsidiaries held approximately $196.9 million of cash and cash equivalents that are available for use outside the U.S. The Company asserts that it has the ability and intends to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings from its foreign operations unless there is no material tax cost to remit the earnings into the U.S.
Short-Term Investments
The Company had short-term investments, primarily consisting of time deposits, which are valued based on Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy, totaling approximately $28.7 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Cash Flows

| | | |
Cash Flows Provided by or Used in Operating Activities
Operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $21.1 million compared to the same period in 2025. Within operating cash flows, net income less non-cash adjustments increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 by approximately $27.0 million, primarily due to the reduced impact of quality and operational issues in the current year compared to the prior period.
The changes in assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, net of business acquisitions, decreased cash flows by $30.6 million, mainly attributable to a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities due to payment of employee bonuses and an increase in inventory which increased cash outflows. This is partially offset by improved customer collections.
The changes in assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, net of business acquisitions, decreased cash flows by $24.7 million, mainly attributable to decreases in accrued expenses and other current liabilities due to payment of employee bonuses.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Uses of cash from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $14.8 million paid for capital expenditures to support improvement initiatives at a number of our manufacturing facilities and other technology investments.
There were no sources of cash from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Uses of cash from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $28.9 million paid for capital expenditures to support improvement initiatives at a number of our manufacturing facilities, and other technology investments, as well as $7.0 million related to short-term investments.
There were no sources of cash from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
Uses of cash from financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2026 related to the repayments of $35.6 million under our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility. In addition, the company paid $1.4 million in cash taxes for net equity settlements.
Sources of cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $44.5 million of proceeds from borrowings of long term indebtedness and $0.8 million related to the proceeds from employee stock purchases.
Uses of cash from financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to the repayments of $15.2 million under our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility, as well as $2.6 million related to payment of contingent consideration in connection with our acquisition of Arkis. In addition, the Company had $2.1 million in cash taxes paid for net equity settlements.
Sources of cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $54.4 million of proceeds from borrowings of long-term indebtedness and $1.0 million related to the proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Tariffs and Macroeconomic Environment
In April 2025, the U.S. government announced new tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from dozens of countries, including China and the European Union member states. In response, governments have threatened or imposed reciprocal tariffs or taken other measures, and the United States is in the process of negotiating trade agreements with certain governments. In August 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled against certain of the U.S. tariffs that have been implemented. The U.S. administration has appealed this ruling. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to invalidate the U.S. administration’s tariff program implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), concluding that IEEPA did not authorize the broad import duties previously imposed. The ruling did not address the treatment of previously collected tariff payments, leaving refund processes subject to future administrative and judicial determinations. Following the ruling, the U.S. administration announced a new global 10% tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which permits temporary import surcharges of up to 15% for up to 150 days to address balance of payments deficits, with implementation effective almost immediately and subject to certain exemptions. Subsequent to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an order directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to establish an administrative process to issue refunds of any IEEPA tariffs imposed without appropriate authority. On April 20, 2026, the CBP launched an online portal referred to as the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”) that can be used to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests. All requests will be reviewed by the CBP to determine validity prior to the issuance of refunds.
Any tariffs paid have been capitalized in inventory and have been recognized in cost of goods sold as those products subject to tariffs have been sold. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company applied the guidance within FASB Topic 405-20, Liabilities - Extinguishments of Liabilities (“ASC 405-20”). As a result, the Company recognized a receivable of $18.7 million, recorded within other current assets, for tariffs previously paid on imported goods that are subject to refund. Of this amount $3.4 million had been previously expensed in 2025 to cost of goods sold, and $15.3 million would have been expensed in the current year. These adjustments relate to the legal right to receive a refund of IEEPA tariffs previously imposed on the Company without appropriate authority.
Tariffs have resulted in an increase in certain product costs and could have adverse impacts on, among other things, demand for our products and supply chains. Particularly, the U.S. import tariffs and reciprocal measures by China, are expected to increase the Company’s cost of goods sold. The Company anticipates that some of its suppliers will incur incremental tariff-related costs, which may be passed on to the Company. Approximately half of our global revenue is generated from products manufactured in the U.S. In China, which accounts for approximately 5 percent of our total revenue, roughly half of the products we sell are manufactured in the United States.
Additionally, in September 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce initiated national security investigations into medical equipment, devices, and robotics. The tariff environment has continued to shift, with new measures being proposed, paused, implemented, and countered, contributing to broader trade policy uncertainty.
The overall macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, including tariffs or changes in trade policies, slower economic growth or recession, market volatility and inflation, and uncertainty regarding all of the foregoing, pose risks that could impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on the business are uncertain and are expected to be impacted by various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that already exist or may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of our products and materials, and our ability to offset the effects of any tariffs that might be imposed. For additional information on the risks that tariffs pose to the Company, please see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Credit Agreement, Convertible Senior Notes, Securitization and Related Hedging Activities
See Note 6. Debt, to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) for a discussion of our Senior Credit Facility, 2025 Notes, and Securitization Facility and Note 7. Derivative Instruments, to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) for discussion of our hedging activities.
The Senior Credit Facility is subject to various financial and negative covenants and, at March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. Our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 4.12, with the covenant requirement at 5.00 at the end of March 31, 2026. As outlined in the table in Note 6. Debt, the covenant requirement will drop from 5.00 to 4.75 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Dividend Policy
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our formation. Our Senior Credit Facility limits the amount of dividends that we may pay. Any future determinations to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
Capital Resources
We believe that our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and available borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are sufficient to finance our operations and capital expenditures for the next twelve months and foreseeable future. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the growth of our business, the timing and introduction of new products and investments, strategic plans and acquisitions, and the potential impact of tariffs on our cost of goods sold and consumer demand for our products, among others. Additional sources of liquidity available to us include short-term borrowings and the issuance of long-term debt and equity securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our interests.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We will continue to have cash requirements to support seasonal working capital needs and capital expenditures, to pay interest, to service debt, and to fund acquisitions. As part of our ongoing operations, we enter into contractual arrangements that obligate us to make future cash payments.
Our primary obligations include principal and interest payments on the revolving credit facility and term loan component of the Senior Credit Facility and our Securitization Facility. See Note 6. Debt, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) for details. The Company also leases some of our manufacturing facilities and office buildings which have required future minimum lease payments. See Note 10. Leases and Related Party Leases, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) for a schedule of our future minimum lease payments. Amounts related to the Company’s other obligations, including employment agreements and purchase obligations were not material.
The Company has contingent consideration obligations related to prior and current year acquisitions and future pension contribution obligations. See Note 9. Retirement Plans, and Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) for details. The associated obligations are not fixed. The Company also has a liability for uncertain tax benefits including interest and penalties.
See Note 12. Income Taxes to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) for details. The Company cannot make a reliable estimate of the period in which the uncertain tax benefits may be realized.
OTHER MATTERS
Critical Accounting Estimates
We based the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The critical accounting estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 did not materially change in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included in Note 1. Basis of Presentation, to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report), and is applicable to the current period’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates that could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. To manage the volatility relating to these typical business exposures, we may enter into various derivative transactions when appropriate. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange and Other Rate Risks
We operate on a global basis and are exposed to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are primarily exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to transactions and net assets denominated in Euros, British pounds, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, Israeli shekel, Australian dollars and Chinese yuan. We manage the foreign currency exposure centrally, on a combined basis, which allows us to net exposures and to take advantage of any natural offsets. To mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on transactions denominated in nonfunctional currencies, we periodically enter into derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts with major financial institutions. We temporarily record realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income, and then recognize them in other income or expense when the hedged item affects net earnings.
From time to time, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage currency exposures for transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency. As a result, the impact of foreign currency gains/losses recognized in earnings are partially offset by gains/losses on the related foreign currency forward exchange contracts in the same reporting period. Refer to Note 7. Derivative Instruments, to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) for further information.
We maintain written policies and procedures governing our risk management activities. With respect to derivatives, changes in hedged items are generally expected to be completely offset by changes in the fair value of hedge instruments. Consequently, foreign currency exchange contracts would not subject us to material risk due to exchange rate movements, because gains and losses on these contracts offset gains and losses on the assets, liabilities or transactions being hedged.
The results of operations discussed herein have not been materially affected by inflation.
Interest Rate Risk
Cash and Cash Equivalents - We are exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations on the interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 100 basis points increase or decrease in interest rates applicable to our cash and cash equivalents outstanding at March 31, 2026 would impact interest income by approximately $2.4 million on an annual basis. We are subject to foreign currency exchange risk with respect to cash balances maintained in foreign currencies.
Short-Term Investments - We are exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations on the interest income earned on our short-term investments. A hypothetical 100 basis points movement in interest rates applicable to our short-term investments outstanding at March 31, 2026 would increase or decrease interest income by approximately $0.3 million on an annual basis.
Debt - Our interest rate risk relates primarily to U.S. dollar SOFR-indexed borrowings. We use interest rate swap derivative instruments to manage our earnings and cash flow exposure to changes in interest rates. These interest rate swaps fix the interest rate on a portion of our expected SOFR-indexed floating-rate borrowings. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2026. The total notional amounts related to the Company's interest rate swaps were $900.0 million, of which all are effective as of March 31, 2026. Based on our outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2026, a 100 basis points change in interest rates would have impacted interest expense on the unhedged portion of the debt by $9.7 million on an annualized basis. See Note 7. Derivative Instruments, to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) for further information regarding interest rate swaps.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management has designed our disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026 to provide such reasonable assurance.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In response to business integration activities, we have and will continue to further align and streamline the design and operation of the financial control environment to be responsive to the changing business model.

Description of the Company’s Common Stock Registered
Under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
The following is a description of the common stock of Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the “Company” or “we,” “us” and “our”) registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The description does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “certificate of incorporation”) and the Company’s Third Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “bylaws”),each of which are filed as exhibits to the Company’s most-recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).
General Matters
Authorized Shares
The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 255,000,000 shares of stock, of which 240,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 15,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, no par value.
Fully Paid
Outstanding shares of our common stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our formation. Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefor at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) may from time to time determine. However, our senior credit facility limits the amount of dividends that we may pay. Any future determinations to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.
Voting Rights
Each stockholder is entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights. The Company’s board of directors is not classified and each director is elected annually. The voting standard for the election of directors is a majority of votes cast in uncontested elections. In contested elections where the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the vote standard is a plurality of the votes cast.
Other Rights
We notify common stockholders of any stockholders’ meetings according to applicable law. If we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business, either voluntarily or not, common stockholders will share equally in the assets remaining after we pay our creditors and the holders of any of our then-outstanding preferred stock. The holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase our shares of stock. Shares of common stock are not subject to any redemption or sinking fund provisions and are not convertible into any of our other securities.
Stock Exchange
Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “IART”.
Preferred Stock
Our Board has the authority to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series and with such rights and preferences as determined by the Board with respect to each series. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting and other rights of holders of common stock.
Statutory Business Combination Provision
As a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prevents an “interested stockholder,” which is defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a Delaware corporation’s outstanding voting stock or any affiliate or associate of that person, from engaging in a broad range of “business combinations” with the corporation for three years following the date that person became an interested stockholder unless:
•before that person became an interested stockholder, the board of directors of the corporation approved the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder or approved the business combination;
•on completion of the transaction that resulted in that person’s becoming an interested stockholder, that person owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than stock held by (1) directors who are also officers of the corporation or (2) any employee stock plan that does not provide employees with the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
•following the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder, both the board of directors of the corporation and the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by that person approve the business combination.
Under Section 203 of the DGCL, the restrictions described above also do not apply to specific business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of designated extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation’s directors, if a majority of the directors who were directors prior to any person’s becoming an interested stockholder during the previous three years, or were recommended for election or elected to succeed those directors by a majority of those directors, approve or do not oppose that extraordinary transaction.
Anti-Takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws
Some of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws discussed below may have the effect, either alone or in combination with the provisions of our certificate of incorporation discussed above and Section 203 of the DGCL, of making more difficult or discouraging a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or other takeover attempt that our Board opposes but that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interest.
Special Meetings of Stockholders.
Our bylaws provide that a special meeting of our stockholders may only be called by (i) the chairman of our Board, (ii) the president or (iii) our Board.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent.
Our stockholders may act by written consent without a meeting, subject to the requirements in our bylaws for setting a record date for the written consent. Any stockholder seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action must request that our Board fix a record date. Such notice must include the same information required for a stockholder proposal and be submitted to our Board as described in our bylaws.
Size of Board of Directors and Vacancies.
Our bylaws provide that the number of directors will be fixed exclusively by, and may be increased or decreased exclusively by, our Board from time to time, but will not be less than three nor more than thirteen. Our bylaws provide that vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may only be filled by a majority of the directors then in office whether or not the remaining directors constitute a quorum. Any directors so elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualify.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations.
Our bylaws contain provisions requiring that advance notice be delivered to us of any business to be brought by a stockholder before an annual meeting of stockholders and providing for certain procedures to be followed by stockholders in nominating persons for election to our board of directors. Generally, the advance notice provisions provide that the stockholder must give written notice to our Secretary not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, except that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting (or, if later, then the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made). The notice must set forth specific information regarding that stockholder and that business or director nominee, as described in our bylaws.
Amendment of Bylaws.
Our Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, and new bylaws may be adopted, by the stockholders or by the Board at any regular meeting of the stockholders or of the Board or at any special meeting of the stockholders or of the Board if notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new bylaws be contained in the notice of such special meeting.
Forum Selection.
Our bylaws provide that a state court of the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws (as each may be amended, from time to time); or (iv) any other action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer of the Company that is governed by or subject to the internal affairs doctrine for choice of law purposes. However, the forum selection provision does not apply to any claims, actions or proceedings arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Securities Exchange Act, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our stock will be deemed to have notice of and consented to the exclusive forum provisions in our bylaws.
Preferred Stock.
As discussed above under “General Matters—Preferred Stock,” our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, without the approval of our stockholders, to provide for the issuance of all or any shares of our preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the designation, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions applicable to any of those rights, including dividend rights, voting rights, conversion or exchange rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, of each series. The issuance of shares of our preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase shares of preferred stock, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. In addition, under some circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of our common stockholders.

TERMS OF THE LOANS
SECTION 2.01.Loan Facility.

Under no circumstances shall any Lender be obligated to make any such Loan if, after giving effect to such Loan:
(a)the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Facility Limit at such time;
(b)the sum of (A) the Capital of such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate outstanding Capital of each other Lender in its Group, would exceed the Group Commitment of such Lender’s Group;
(c)if such Lender is a Committed Lender, the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Committed Lender would exceed its Commitment; or
(d)the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Borrowing Base at such time.
SECTION 2.02.Making Loans; Repayment of Loans.
(a)Each Loan hereunder shall be made at the written request from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent in the form of a Loan Request attached hereto as Exhibit A; provided, that, at any time when PNC (or an Affiliate thereof) is the Administrative Agent and the Borrower has entered into a PINACLE Agreement, then any
request for a Loan made by the Borrower using PINACLE shall constitute a Loan Request. Each Loan Request (1) shall be made by the Borrower no later than (x) in the case of a Loan Request made pursuant to PINACLE, 4:00 p.m. New York City time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such Loan, or (y) in the case of any other Loan Request, 1:00 p.m. New York City time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such Loan (it being understood that any such request made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day) and (2) shall specify (i) the amount of the Loan(s) requested (which shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) and shall be an integral multiple of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)), (ii) other than for a Loan Request made pursuant to PINACLE, the allocation of such amount among the Groups (which shall be ratable based on the Group Commitments), (iii) the account to which the proceeds of such Loan shall be distributed and (iv) the date such requested Loan is to be made (which shall be a Business Day).
(b)On the date of each Loan specified in the applicable Loan Request, the Lenders shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this Article II, make available to the Borrower in same day funds an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Loans requested, at the account set forth in the related Loan Request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.02(b) or otherwise in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the Committed Lender in any Group that includes a Conduit Lender may, in its sole discretion, by written notice (a “Deferred Funding Notice”) delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, elect to fund its related portion of any Loan requested by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.02(a) on or before the thirty-third (33rd) day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) following the Borrower’s delivery of the related Loan Request (the “Deferred Funding Date”), rather than on the date requested in such Loan Request (any Committed Lender making such an election, a “Deferred Committed Lender” and any Committed Lender that is not a Deferred Committed Lender with respect to any Loan Request, a “Non-Deferred Committed Lender” with respect to such Loan Request). Each Deferred Funding Notice shall be delivered by the applicable Deferred Committed Lender (or its Group Agent on its behalf) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date such proposed Loan is to be made. No Deferred Committed Lender (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any related Conduit Lender) shall be obligated to fund its ratable portion of such Loan being requested until the applicable Deferred Funding Date. A Deferred Committed Lender shall (or its related Conduit Lender may, in its sole discretion) fund its ratable portion of such Loan being requested on the applicable Deferred Funding Date (including, without limitation, if such Deferred Funding Date occurs on or after the Termination Date). The Borrower shall be obligated to accept the proceeds of such Deferred Committed Lender’s ratable portion of a Loan requested on the applicable Deferred Funding Date in accordance with this Section 2.02(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that a Deferred Committed Lender that (i) has timely delivered a Deferred Funding Notice to the Borrower with respect to any Loan Request and (ii) funds its ratable portion of the Loan requested on the applicable Deferred Funding Date, will not be in default of its obligations under this Agreement solely due to its failure to fund its ratable portion of such Loan on the date requested in such Loan Request.
In the event that one or more Committed Lenders is a Deferred Committed Lender with respect to any Loan Request and the Administrative Agent has received notice thereof in accordance with this Section 2.02(b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Non-Deferred Committed Lenders not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding the date requested in such Loan Request. Each of the Non-Deferred Committed Lenders may, in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a supplemental Loan (a “Deferred Supplemental Loan”) in a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal of the Loan that was unfunded by Deferred Committed Lenders multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Commitment of such Non-Deferred Committed Lender and the denominator of which is the aggregate Commitment of all Non-Deferred Committed Lenders. Each of the Non-Deferred Committed Lenders shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date requested in such Loan Request whether or not such Non-Deferred Committed Lender agrees, in its sole discretion, to make such Deferred Supplemental Loan. Any Non-Deferred Committed Lender not responding prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date requested in such Loan Request shall be deemed to have declined to fund such Deferred Supplemental Loan. Such Deferred Supplemental Loans shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this Article II, be made by wire transfer in Dollars in same day funds no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days following the related date requested in such Loan Request. On the Deferred Funding Date for each Deferred Committed Lender, the Servicer shall, at the written direction of the Borrower, apply the fundings made by the related Deferred Committed Lender (i) first, pro rata to repay any Deferred Supplemental Loans made by the Non-Deferred Committed Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) until such time as all Capital is held by the Committed Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitments and (ii) second, after the principal of Deferred Supplemental Loans made by Non-Deferred Committed Lenders has been repaid by the related Loans funded by the Deferred Committed Lenders, to the Borrower, the portion of the requested Loan that was unfunded after giving effect to Deferred Supplemental Loans. The proceeds of any Loan when funded by a Deferred Committed Lender on the applicable Deferred Funding Date shall be applied in accordance with the preceding sentence and the Borrower and each Lender shall be obligated to accept the proceeds of any Loan when funded by a Deferred Committed Lender as set forth therein.
(c)Each Committed Lender’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Lender to make available to the Borrower any funds in connection with any Loan shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date such Loans are requested (it being understood, that no Committed Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Lender (other than a Committed Lender in its Group) to make funds available to the Borrower in connection with any Loan hereunder).
(d)The Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding Capital of each Lender on the Final Maturity Date. Prior thereto, the Borrower shall, on each Settlement Date, make a prepayment of the outstanding Capital of the Lenders to the extent required under Section 3.01 and otherwise in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower, in its
discretion, shall have the right to make a prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding Capital of the Lenders (i) on any Business Day if, at such time, (A) PNC (or an Affiliate thereof) is the Administrative Agent, (B) the Borrower has entered into a PINACLE Agreement and (C) such prepayment is made with PINACLE; provided, that any such prepayment made with PINACLE after 4:00 p.m. New York City time on any day shall be deemed to have been made on the next occurring Business Day, or (ii) on any Business Day upon at least (x) with respect to any Base Rate Loan, one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, and (y) with respect to any Term SOFR Rate Loan or Daily SOFR Rate Loan, three (3) Business Days prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, in any case in the form of a Reduction Notice attached hereto as Exhibit B; provided, however, that (i) each such prepayment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) and shall be an integral multiple of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, a prepayment may be in an amount necessary to reduce any Borrowing Base Deficit existing at such time or the outstanding Capital of the Lenders to zero ($0), (ii) the Borrower shall not provide any Reduction Notice or corresponding notice through PINACLE as contemplated above, and no such Reduction Notice or corresponding notice through PINACLE shall be effective, if after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Capital at such time would be less than an amount equal to the Minimum Funding Threshold and (iii) any accrued Interest and Fees in respect of such prepaid Capital shall be paid on the immediately following Settlement Date; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not provide any Reduction Notice, and no such Reduction Notice shall be effective, if after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Capital at such time would be less than the Minimum Funding Threshold.
(e)All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans, then to Daily SOFR Rate Loans, then to Term SOFR Rate Loans. In accordance with Section 12.01, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a Term SOFR Option or Daily SOFR Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.
(f)Decreases or Increases in Commitments.
(i)The Borrower may, at any time upon at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, terminate the Facility Limit in whole or ratably reduce the Facility Limit in part. Each partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of five million dollars ($5,000,000) or integral multiples of one million dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof, and no such partial reduction shall reduce the Facility Limit to an amount less than one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000). In connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Committed Lender shall be ratably reduced.
(ii)So long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the
Majority Group Agents (in their sole discretion), upon thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents, from time to time, request an increase in the Commitment with respect to one or more Lenders (and a related increase in the Facility Limit) or cause additional Persons to become parties to this Agreement, as lenders, at any time following the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date; it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent, any Majority Group Agent or any Lender increasing its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.02(e)(ii) may request any of (A) resolutions of the Board of Managers of the Borrower approving or consenting to such Commitment increase and authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of any amendment to this Agreement, (B) a corporate and enforceability opinion of counsel of the Borrower and (C) such other documents, agreements and opinions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, such Majority Group Agent or such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, Any such Person not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to consent to an increase in such Lender’s Commitment.
(g)In connection with any reduction of the Commitments, the Borrower shall remit to the Administrative Agent (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) for payment to the Lenders, cash in an amount sufficient to pay (A) Capital of Lenders in each Group in excess of the Group Commitment of such Group and (B) all other outstanding Borrower Obligations with respect to such reduction (determined based on the ratio of the reduction of the Commitments being effected to the amount of the Commitments prior to such reduction or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any portion of the outstanding Borrower Obligations is allocable solely to that portion of the Commitments being reduced or has arisen solely as a result of such reduction, all of such portion) including, without duplication, any associated Breakage Fees. Upon receipt of any such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to the reduction of the outstanding Capital, and second to the payment of the remaining outstanding Borrower Obligations with respect to such reduction, including any Breakage Fees, by paying such amounts to the Lenders.
(h)The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees from time to time to request Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(a) in amounts and at such times such that the Aggregate Capital at all times is no less than the Minimum Funding Threshold at such time; it being understood and agreed that each Credit Extension pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Article V and the other conditions set forth in this Article II.
SECTION 2.03.Interest and Fees.
(a)On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall, in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 3.01, pay to each Group Agent, each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Structuring Agent certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts set forth in the fee letter agreements from time to time entered into, among the Borrower, the members of the applicable Group (or their Group Agent on their behalf) and/or the Administrative Agent (each such fee letter agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively being referred to herein as the “Fee Letter”).
Undrawn Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender as provided in Section 2.06.
(b)Each Loan of each Lender and the Capital thereof shall accrue interest on each day when such Capital remains outstanding at the then applicable Interest Rate for such Loan.

SECTION 2.04.Records of Loans. Each Group Agent shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan made by the Lenders in its Group hereunder, the interest rate with respect thereto, the Interest accrued thereon and each repayment and payment thereof. Subject to Section 13.03(c), such records shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the Capital of each Lender, together with all Interest accruing thereon and all other Borrower Obligations.
SECTION 2.05.Selection of Interest Rates.
(a)The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following types of Interest Rate applicable to a Loan:
(i)Base Rate Option: the Base Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed), subject to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate;
(ii)Term SOFR Option: the Term SOFR Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) as determined for each applicable Interest Period; or
(iii)Daily SOFR Option: the Daily SOFR Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) as determined for each applicable Interest Period.
(b)So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of Interest Rate borne by each Loan or, subject to the minimum amount requirement for each outstanding Loan set forth in Section 2.02, a portion thereof by notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, as applicable; provided, that there shall not be more than three (3) Loans accruing interest at any Interest Rate and outstanding hereunder at any one time; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, any change to the Interest Rate applicable to a Loan shall not be effective until the Monthly Settlement Date occurring after the date of such request. Any such notices requesting the continuation or conversion of a Loan to the Administrative Agent may be given by
telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication device acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent).
(c)If, by the time required in Section 2.05(a), the Borrower fails to select an Interest Rate for any Loan, such Loan shall automatically accrue Interest at the Daily SOFR Rate for the next occurring Interest Period.
SECTION 2.06.Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)Undrawn Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.
(b)The Commitment and Capital of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Group Agents have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 13.01); provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 13.01, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby (if such Lender is directly affected thereby).
(c)In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage; provided, that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender, and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

Each Group Agent, upon its receipt in the applicable Group Agent’s Account of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable Lenders, Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties within its Group ratably; provided that if such Group Agent shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, such Group Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Lenders, Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties within its Group in accordance with the priority of payments set forth above, and with respect to any such category above for which there are insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to each such Person in such Group) among all such Persons in such Group entitled to payment thereof.

(d)For the purposes of this Section 3.01:
(i)If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Borrower, any Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, an Originator or any Affiliate of an Originator, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, and an Obligor, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and shall immediately pay any and all such

(iv)if and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Credit Party, any Affected Person or any Borrower Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Borrower and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Borrower for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.
SECTION 3.02.Payments and Computations, Etc.

ARTICLE IV
INCREASED COSTS; FUNDING LOSSES; TAXES; ILLEGALITY AND SECURITY INTEREST
SECTION 4.01.Increased Costs.
(a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Affected Person;
(ii)subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Affected Person of participating in, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Affected Person, the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, that upon the occurrence of any Change in Law imposing a reserve percentage on any interest rate based on SOFR, the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may modify the calculation of each such SOFR-based interest rate to add (or otherwise account for) such reserve percentage.
(b)Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law affecting such Affected Person or any lending office of such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of (x) increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, (y) reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, or (z) causing an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, in each case, as a consequence of (A) this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) the commitments of such Affected Person hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or
related Program Support Agreement, (C) the Loans made by such Affected Person or (D) any Capital (or portion thereof), to a level below that which such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, upon request of such Affected Person (or its Group Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company for any such increase, reduction or charge.
(c)Adoption of Changes in Law. The Borrower acknowledges that any Affected Person may institute measures in anticipation of a Change in Law (including, without limitation, the imposition of internal charges on such Affected Person’s interests or obligations under any Transaction Document or Program Support Agreement), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the Borrower under this Section 4.01 in connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such Change in Law, and the Borrower agrees to pay such charges or compensation to such Affected Person, following demand therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.01, without regard to whether such effective date has occurred.
(d)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of an Affected Person (or its Group Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4.01 and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 3.01, pay such Affected Person the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the first Settlement Date occurring after the Borrower’s receipt of such certificate.
(e)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation.
(f)Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 4.01, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.03, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 13.03(j).
SECTION 4.02.Funding Losses.
(a)The Borrower will pay each Lender its ratable portion of Breakage Fees in accordance herewith.
(b)A certificate of a Lender (or its Group Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, as specified in clause (a) above and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 3.01, pay such Lender the amount shown
as due on any such certificate on the first Settlement Date occurring after the Borrower’s receipt of such certificate.
SECTION 4.03.Taxes.
(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction 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 the applicable Credit Party, Affected Person or Borrower Indemnified Party) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Credit Party, Affected Person or Borrower Indemnified Party, then the applicable Credit Party, Affected Person or Borrower Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law, and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower 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), the applicable Credit Party, Affected Person or Borrower Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Affected Person, within ten (10) calendar days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Affected Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Person and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body and a certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability, as well as the payee and other information necessary for the Borrower to make such payment, delivered to the Borrower by an Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Person, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender (other than the Conduit Lenders) shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) calendar days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender, its Related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons (but only to the extent that the Borrower and its Affiliates have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower, the Servicer or their Affiliates to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Lender, its Related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons to comply with Section 13.03(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, its Related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that
are Affected Persons, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction 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 Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender (or its Group Agent) by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender (other than the Conduit Lenders) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, its Related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, its Related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).
(e)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f)Status of Affected Persons.
(i)Any Affected Person that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Affected Person, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Affected Person 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 Sections 4.03(f)(ii)(A), 4.03(f)(ii)(B) and 4.03(g)) shall not be required if, in the Affected Person’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Affected Person to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Affected Person
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A)an Affected Person that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9 certifying that such Affected Person is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)any Affected Person that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)in the case of such an Affected Person claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(4)to the extent such Affected Person is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if such Affected Person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Affected Person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Affected Person
may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and
(C)any Affected Person that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(g)Documentation Required by FATCA. If a payment made to an Affected Person under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Affected Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person has complied with such Affected Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with FATCA.
(h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Credit Party or any other Affected person, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Borrower Obligations and the Servicer’s obligations hereunder.
(i)Updates. Each Affected Person agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.03 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(j)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
4.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.03), 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 4.03 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body 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 clause (j) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (j), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (j) 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 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax 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.
SECTION 4.04.Conforming Changes Relating to Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR. With respect to Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided, that, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
SECTION 4.05.Security Interest.
(a)As security for the performance by the Borrower of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Borrower to be performed under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the punctual payment when due of the Aggregate Capital and all Interest in respect of the Loans and all other Borrower Obligations, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid, continuing and perfected first priority security interest in, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising (collectively, the “Collateral”): (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Borrower under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, (vi) all other personal and fixture property or assets of the Borrower of every kind and nature including, without limitation, all goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit
accounts, securities accounts, securities entitlements, letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, money, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles) (each as defined in the UCC) and (vii) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing.
(b)The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Collateral, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.
(c)Immediately upon the occurrence of the Final Payout Date, the Collateral shall be automatically released from the lien created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Credit Parties hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Borrower; provided, however, that promptly following written request therefor by the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent following any such termination, and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall execute (if applicable) and deliver to the Borrower UCC-3 termination statements and such other documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
SECTION 4.06.Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(a)Rate Unascertainable. If at any time:
(i)the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Term SOFR Rate or the Daily SOFR Rate, as applicable, cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or
(ii)the Majority Group Agents determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Rate Loan or a Daily SOFR Rate Loan or conversion thereto or continuation thereof that the Term SOFR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding, establishing or maintaining such Term SOFR Rate Loan during the applicable Interest Period, or the Daily SOFR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding, establishing or maintaining such Daily SOFR Rate Loan, as applicable, and the Majority Group Agents have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.06(c).
(b)Illegality. If at any time any Lender shall have determined, or any Official Body shall have asserted, that the making, maintenance or funding of any Term SOFR Rate Loan
or Daily SOFR Rate Loan, or the determination or charging of interest rates based on the Term SOFR Rate or the Daily SOFR Rate, has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Applicable Law), then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.06(c).
(c)Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 4.06(a) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Group Agents and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.06(b) above, the Majority Group Agents shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Group Agents and the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (ii) the relevant Group Agents, in the case of such notice given by the Majority Group Agents, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to, renew or continue a Term SOFR Rate Loan or a Daily SOFR Rate Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Rate Loan, Daily SOFR Rate Loan or Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or the Majority Group Agents shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or the Majority Group Agents’, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. Upon a determination by Administrative Agent under Section 4.06(a), (i) if the Borrower has previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Term SOFR Rate Loan or a Daily SOFR Rate Loan and the Term SOFR Option or the Daily SOFR Option, as applicable, has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Base Rate Loan, (ii) any outstanding affected Daily SOFR Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans immediately, and (iii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. If the Majority Group Agents notify the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.06(b), the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification obligations under Section 12.01, as to any Loan of a Lender to which a Term SOFR Option or a Daily SOFR Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to a Base Rate Loan otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 2.02. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan upon such specified date.
(d)Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance
with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Group Agents without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Majority Group Agents.
(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Group Agents of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (iv) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.06, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.06.
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate or based on a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion
or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(v)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Term SOFR Rate or the Daily SOFR Rate, as applicable, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Loan bearing interest based on such rate or conversion to or continuation of Loans bearing interest based on such rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Base Rate Loan or conversion to a Base Rate Loan. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.
SECTION 4.07.Benchmark Replacement Notification. Section 4.06(d) of this Agreement provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest in the event that the Term SOFR Rate or the Daily SOFR Rate, as applicable, is no longer available or in certain other circumstances. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the Term SOFR Rate or the Daily SOFR Rate, as applicable, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor.

The Servicer shall not (and shall not permit any Sub-Servicer to) add, replace or terminate any Collection Account (or any related Lock-Box) or make any change in its instructions to the Obligors regarding payments to be made to the Collection Accounts (or any related Lock-Box), other than any instruction to remit payments to a different Collection Account (or any related Lock-Box), unless the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) prior written notice of such addition, termination or change and (ii) a signed and acknowledged Account Control Agreement (or an amendment thereto) with respect to such new Collection Accounts (or any related Lock-Box) and the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such change in writing.
(m)Security Interest, Etc. The Servicer shall, at its expense, take all action necessary or reasonably desirable to establish and maintain a valid and enforceable first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, in each case free and clear of any Adverse Claim in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), including taking such action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) as the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may reasonably request. In order to evidence the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Servicer shall, from time to time take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments as may be necessary (including, without limitation, such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) to maintain and perfect, as a first-priority interest, the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Receivables, Related Security and Collections. The Servicer shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s authorization and approval, all financing statements, amendments, continuations or initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, or other filings necessary to continue, maintain and perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest as a first-priority interest. The Administrative Agent’s approval of such filings shall authorize the Servicer to file such financing statements under the UCC without the signature of the Borrower, any Originator or the Administrative Agent where allowed by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything else in the Transaction
Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall not have any authority to file a termination, partial termination, release, partial release, or any amendment that deletes the name of a debtor or excludes collateral of any such financing statements filed in connection with the Transaction Documents, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
(n)Further Assurances; Change in Name or Jurisdiction of Origination, etc. The Servicer hereby authorizes and hereby agrees from time to time, at its own expense, promptly to execute (if necessary) and deliver all further instruments and documents, and to take all further actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to enable the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) to exercise and enforce the Secured Parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer hereby authorizes, and will, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, at the Servicer’s own expense, execute (if necessary) and file such financing statements or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments and documents, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or evidence any of the foregoing.
(o)Transaction Information. None of the Servicer, any Affiliate of the Servicer or any third party with which the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof has contracted, shall deliver, in writing or orally, to any Rating Agency, any Transaction Information without providing such Transaction Information to the applicable Group Agent prior to delivery to such Rating Agency, and will not participate in any oral communications with respect to Transaction Information with any Rating Agency without the participation of such Group Agent.
(p)Sanctions/Anti-Corruption/Anti-Money Laundering/International Trade Law Compliance.
(i)The Servicer shall: (a) in the event that any Collateral becomes Covered Property, promptly notify the Administrative Agent and provide to the Administrative Agent additional Collateral that is not Covered Property of at least equal value to the Collateral that became Covered Property, except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law; (b) comply with applicable International Trade Laws, Sanctions, Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Anti-Corruption Laws and maintain and enforce policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with all applicable International Trade Laws, Sanctions, Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Anti-Corruption Laws by each Covered Entity, each Covered Entity’s directors and officers, and any employee, agent or Affiliate acting on behalf of each Covered Entity in connection with this Agreement; and (c) not, and not permit any of the Servicer’s agents or Affiliates acting on behalf of the Servicer in connection with this Agreement to, (I) become a Sanctioned Person or (II) repay in whole or in part any Loan hereunder with proceeds derived from investments in or transactions with any Sanctioned Jurisdiction or Sanctioned Person, or otherwise, in violation of Sanctions.
(ii)The Servicer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in the event the Servicer learns that the Servicer or any of the Servicer’s directors or officers, or any employee, or to the knowledge of the Servicer, any of the Servicer’s agents or Affiliates acting on behalf of the Servicer in connection with this Agreement: (A) becomes a Sanctioned Person; (B) directly or indirectly (through a third party or otherwise) provides, uses, or makes available the proceeds of any Loan hereunder (1) to fund or facilitate any activities or business of, with, or for the benefit of any Sanctioned Person, (2) to fund or facilitate any activities or business of or in any Sanctioned Jurisdiction, or (3) to act in any manner in violation of, or that could result in a violation by any Person of, any International Trade Laws, Sanctions, Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Anti-Corruption Laws; (C) in the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, or any activities, transactions, services, or any collateral or security interest contemplated by this Agreement, violates Sanctions; or (D) does business in or with, or derive any of its income, directly or indirectly, from any Sanctioned Jurisdiction or Sanctioned Person.
(q)Borrower’s Tax Status. The Servicer shall not take or cause any action to be taken that could result in the Borrower (i) being treated other than as a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3 for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) becoming an association taxable as a corporation or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
SECTION 7.03.Separate Existence of the Borrower. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Secured Parties, the Group Agents and the Administrative Agent are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Borrower’s identity as a legal entity separate from any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor and their Affiliates. Therefore, each of the Borrower and Servicer shall take all steps specifically required by this Agreement or reasonably required by the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent to continue the Borrower’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Borrower is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Performance Guarantor, the Originators, the Servicer and any other Person, and is not a division of the Performance Guarantor, the Originators, the Servicer, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Borrower and the Servicer shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:
(a)Special Purpose Entity. The Borrower will be a special purpose company whose primary activities are restricted in its Certificate of Formation or Limited Liability Company Agreement to: (i) purchasing or otherwise acquiring from the Originators, owning, holding, collecting, granting security interests or selling interests in, the Collateral, (ii) entering into agreements for the selling, servicing and financing of the Receivables Pool (including the Transaction Documents) and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities.
(b)No Other Business or Debt. The Borrower shall not engage in any business or activity except as set forth in this Agreement nor, incur any indebtedness or liability other than as expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents.
(c)Independent Director. Not fewer than one member of the Borrower’s board of directors (the “Independent Director”) shall be a natural person who (i) has never been, and shall at no time be, an equityholder, director, officer, manager, member, partner, officer, employee or associate, or any relative of the foregoing, of any member of the Parent Group (as hereinafter defined) (other than his or her service as an Independent Director of the Borrower or an independent director of any other bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity formed for the sole purpose of securitizing, or facilitating the securitization of, financial assets of any member or members of the Parent Group), (ii) is not a customer or supplier of any member of the Parent Group (other than his or her service as an Independent Director of the Borrower or an independent director of any other bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity formed for the sole purpose of securitizing, or facilitating the securitization of, financial assets of any member or members of the Parent Group), (iii) is not any member of the immediate family of a person described in (i) or (ii) above, and (iv) has (x) prior experience as an independent director for a corporation or limited liability company whose organizational or charter documents required the unanimous consent of all independent directors thereof before such corporation or limited liability company could consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or could file a petition seeking relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy and (y) at least three years of employment experience with one or more entities that provide, in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, advisory, management or placement services to issuers of securitization or structured finance instruments, agreements or securities. For purposes of this clause (c), “Parent Group” shall mean (i) the Parent, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor and each Originator, (ii) each person that directly or indirectly, owns or controls, whether beneficially, or as a trustee, guardian or other fiduciary, five percent (5%) or more of the membership interests in the Parent, (iii) each person that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Parent and (iv) each of such person’s officers, directors, managers, joint venturers and partners. For the purposes of this definition, “control” of a person means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. A person shall be deemed to be an “associate” of (A) a corporation or organization of which such person is an officer, director, partner or manager or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of ten percent (10%) or more of any class of equity securities, (B) any trust or other estate in which such person serves as trustee or in a similar capacity and (C) any relative or spouse of a person described in clause (A) or (B) of this sentence, or any relative of such spouse.
The Borrower shall (A) give written notice to the Administrative Agent of the election or appointment, or proposed election or appointment, of a new Independent Director of the Borrower, which notice shall be given not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date such appointment or election would be effective (except when such election or appointment is necessary to fill a vacancy caused by the death, disability, or incapacity of the existing Independent Director, or the failure of such Independent Director to satisfy the criteria for an
Independent Director set forth in this clause (c), in which case the Borrower shall provide written notice of such election or appointment within one (1) Business Day) and (B) with any such written notice, certify to the Administrative Agent that the Independent Director satisfies the criteria for an Independent Director set forth in this clause (c).
The Borrower’s Limited Liability Company Agreement shall provide that: (A) the Borrower’s board of directors shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Borrower unless the Independent Director shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action and (B) such provision and each other provision requiring an Independent Director cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Director.
The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for any Integra Party or any of their Affiliates.
(d)Organizational Documents. The Borrower shall maintain its organizational documents in conformity with this Agreement, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify its ability to comply with the terms and provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, Section 7.01(o).
(e)Conduct of Business. The Borrower shall conduct its affairs strictly in accordance with its organizational documents and observe all necessary, appropriate and customary company formalities, including, but not limited to, holding all regular and special members’ and board of directors’ meetings appropriate to authorize all company action, keeping separate and accurate minutes of its meetings, passing all resolutions or consents necessary to authorize actions taken or to be taken, and maintaining accurate and separate books, records and accounts, including, but not limited to, payroll and intercompany transaction accounts.
(f)Compensation. Any employee, consultant or agent of the Borrower will be compensated from the Borrower’s funds for services provided to the Borrower, and to the extent that Borrower shares the same officers or other employees as the Servicer (or any other Affiliate thereof), the salaries and expenses relating to providing benefits to such officers and other employees shall be fairly allocated among such entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of the salary and benefit costs associated with such common officers and employees. The Borrower will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other professionals, and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool, which servicer will be fully compensated for its services by payment of the Servicing Fee.
(g)Servicing and Costs. The Borrower will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Borrower all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool. The Borrower will not incur any indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with the Servicer (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Borrower (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be
allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered.
(h)Operating Expenses. The Borrower’s operating expenses will not be paid by any Integra Party or any Affiliate thereof.
(i)Stationery. The Borrower will have its own separate stationery.
(j)Books and Records. The Borrower’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of the Parent, each other Integra Party and any of their Affiliates and in a manner such that it will not be difficult or costly to segregate, ascertain or otherwise identify the assets and liabilities of the Borrower.
(k)Disclosure of Transactions. All financial statements of the Parent, each other Integra Party or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include the Borrower will disclose that (i) the Borrower’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of the Receivables and Related Rights from the Originators and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such Receivables and Related Rights to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the Borrower is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of the Borrower’s assets prior to any assets or value in the Borrower becoming available to the Borrower’s equity holders and (iii) the assets of the Borrower are not available to pay creditors of the Parent, each other Integra Party or any Affiliate thereof.
(l)Segregation of Assets. The Borrower’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of the Parent, each other Integra Party or any Affiliates thereof.
(m)Corporate Formalities. The Borrower will strictly observe limited liability company formalities in its dealings with the Parent, each other Integra Party or any Affiliates thereof, and funds or other assets of the Borrower will not be commingled with those of the Parent, each other Integra Party or any Affiliates thereof except as permitted by this Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Borrower shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which the Parent, each other Integra Party or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Servicer solely in its capacity as such) has independent access. The Borrower is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of the Parent, each other Integra Party or any Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof. The Borrower will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Borrower and such Affiliate.
(n)Arm’s-Length Relationships. The Borrower will maintain arm’s-length relationships with the Parent, each other Integra Party and any Affiliates thereof. Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Borrower will be compensated by the
Borrower at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Borrower. Neither the Borrower on the one hand, nor the Parent, each other Integra Party or any Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Parent, each Integra Party and their respective Affiliates will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity.
(o)Allocation of Overhead. To the extent that Borrower, on the one hand, and the Parent, each other Integra Party or any Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, have offices in the same location, there shall be a fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs between them, and the Borrower shall bear its fair share of such expenses, which may be paid through the Servicing Fee or otherwise.
SECTION 7.04.Financial Covenant. The Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, nor shall it permit any Integra Party or the Parent to, directly or indirectly, permit the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the last day of any consecutive four fiscal quarter period ending on the dates identified below to be greater than the ratio set forth below opposite such date (and so long as PNC and The Bank of Nova Scotia is each a lender under the Credit Agreement, or such other ratio for such related period as specified in the Credit Agreement from time to time):
| | | | | |
| Four Fiscal Quarters Ending | Maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio |
First fiscal quarter ending after March 24,2023 through December 31, 2024 | 4.50 to 1.00 |
| March 31, 2025 through June 30, 2026 | 5.00 to 1.00 |
| September 30, 2026 | 4.75 to 1.00 |
| December 31, 2026 | 4.50 to 1.00 |
| March 31, 2027 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter | 4.00 to 1.00 |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Parent, up to two times during the term of this Agreement, the maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio set forth in this grid above may be increased to accommodate a Permitted Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement), as determined by the Parent and as designated in the Compliance Certificate (as defined in the Credit Agreement, a copy of which shall be promptly provided to the Administrative Agent hereunder) or earlier notice given by the Parent in connection with such Permitted Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (including for determining any ratios, baskets, representations and warranties or test any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement,) or Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) blocker pursuant to Section 1.08 of the Credit Agreement); provided, however, such increase will not otherwise go into effect until the closing
of such Permitted Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement); provided, further, that such increase will not go into effect during the Covenant Relief Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement); provided, further, that (a) such increase shall only apply for a period of twelve months from and after such Permitted Acquisition and immediately upon the expiration of such twelve month period, the required maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall revert to the level set forth above for the measurement period in which such step down occurs; (b) in no event shall the maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio after giving effect to any such step-up exceed 5.00 to 1.00; and (c) the maximum amount that any Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio covenant level may step-up during any Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio measurement period is 1.00.
ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 8.01.Appointment of the Servicer.
(a)The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section 8.01. Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to the Servicer (in accordance with this Section 8.01) of the designation of a new Servicer following an Event of Default, Integra Sales is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Group Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Integra Sales or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b)Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a) above, Integra Sales agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Integra Sales shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records (including all Contracts) related to Pool Receivables and use by the new Servicer of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software necessary or reasonably desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.
(c)Integra Sales acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each member in each Group have relied on Integra Sales’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Integra Sales agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents, except if such activity is no longer permitted by Applicable Law, as confirmed by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d)The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Group Agent shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrative Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer) and (v) if such Sub-Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Parent, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.
(e)For so long as an Integra Party or an Affiliate of an Integra Party is the Servicer, the Servicer may assign its duties hereunder to any Affiliate without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
SECTION 8.02.Duties of the Servicer.
(a)The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or reasonably advisable to service, administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Procedures and consistent with the past practices of the Originators. The Servicer shall set aside, for the accounts of each Group, the amount of Collections to which each such Group is entitled in accordance with Article III hereof. The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Procedures and consistent with past practices of the Originators, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts, as the Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments expressly permitted under the Credit and Collection Procedures or as expressly required under Applicable Laws or the applicable Contract; provided, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer may take such action only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (individually and for the benefit of each Group), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable that is a Defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security with respect to any such Defaulted Receivable.
(b)The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Borrower the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if Integra Sales or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than Integra Sales or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Borrower all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.
(c)The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. Promptly following the Final Payout Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Borrower all books, records and related materials that the Borrower previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
SECTION 8.03.Collection Account Arrangements. On or prior to the date set forth in Section 7.01(z)(ii), the Borrower shall have entered into Account Control Agreements with all of the Collection Account Banks and delivered executed counterparts of each to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (upon the direction of the Majority Group Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Account Control Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Collection Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Collection Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Collection Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Account Control Agreement. The Borrower hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Borrower hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Borrower or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 8.04.Enforcement Rights.
(a)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
(i)the Administrative Agent (at the Borrower’s expense) may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee;
(ii)the Administrative Agent may instruct the Borrower or the Servicer to give notice of the Secured Parties’ interest in Pool Receivables to each
Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor within two (2) Business Days following instruction by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent (at the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors;
(iii)the Administrative Agent may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) at a place selected by the Administrative Agent and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee;
(iv)the Administrative Agent may notify the Collection Account Banks that the Borrower and the Servicer will no longer have any access to the Collection Accounts;
(v)the Administrative Agent may (or, at the direction of the Majority Group Agents shall) replace the Person then acting as Servicer; and
(vi)the Administrative Agent may collect any amounts due from an Originator under the Purchase and Sale Agreement or the Performance Guarantor under the Performance Guaranty.
(b)The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Borrower, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Borrower and on behalf of the Borrower necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Collateral, including endorsing the name of the Borrower on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.
(c)The Servicer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Servicer, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Servicer and on behalf of the Servicer necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Collateral, including endorsing the name of the Servicer on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.
SECTION 8.05.Responsibilities of the Borrower.
(a)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, or any other Credit Party of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Borrower from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. None of the Credit Parties shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator thereunder.
(b)Integra Sales hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, Integra Sales shall conduct the data-processing functions (including but not limited to compiling and inputting data regarding the Receivables and Collections thereon and producing reports based on such data) of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Integra Sales conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer. In connection with any such processing functions, the Borrower shall pay to Integra Sales its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses from the Borrower’s own funds (subject to the priority of payments set forth in Section 3.01).
SECTION 8.06.Servicing Fee.
(a)Subject to clause (b) below, the Borrower shall pay the Servicer a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables.

(a)Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each, a “Borrower Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Borrower Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, expenses, damages, losses and liabilities suffered or sustained (including Attorney Costs) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Borrower Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of, relating to or in connection this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the use of proceeds of the Credit Extensions or the security interest in respect of any Pool Receivable or any other Collateral; excluding, however, (x) Borrower Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Borrower Indemnified Amounts resulted solely from the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct by the Borrower Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, (y) Borrower Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Borrower Indemnified Amounts resulted solely from a material breach of a Transaction Document by the Borrower Indemnified Party seeking indemnification and (z) Taxes that are covered by Section 4.03. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay on demand (it being understood that if any portion of such payment obligation is made from Collections, such payment will be made at the time and in the order of priority set forth in Section 3.01), to each Borrower Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Borrower Indemnified Party from and against any and all Borrower Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following (but excluding Borrower Indemnified Amounts and Taxes described in clauses (x), (y) and (z) above):

(vi)any dispute, claim or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy), of an Obligor to the payment of any Pool Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Pool Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from or relating to collection activities with respect to such Pool Receivable;
(vii)any failure of the Borrower to perform any of its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof and of each other Transaction Document related to Pool Receivables or to timely and fully comply with the Credit and Collection Procedures in regard to each Pool Receivable;

(xii)any offset, setoff, adjustment, or other non-cash reduction of any Pool Receivable (including Deemed Collections) not arising from the bankruptcy or insolvency, lack of creditworthiness or other financial default or inability to pay of the related Obligor any undisputed indebtedness;
(xiii)any claim brought by any Person other than a Borrower Indemnified Party arising from any activity by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower in servicing, administering or collecting any Pool Receivable;

payable by the Administrative Agent to a Collection Account Bank under any Account Control Agreement;
(xvi)any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Pool Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Pool Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of goods or the rendering of services related to such Pool Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish any such goods or services or other similar claim or defense not arising from the financial inability of any Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness;

(c)If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Borrower Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to such Borrower Indemnified Party the amount paid or payable by such Borrower Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Borrower and its Affiliates on the one
hand and such Borrower Indemnified Party on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of the Borrower and its Affiliates and such Borrower Indemnified Party with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Borrower under this Section 12.01 shall be in addition to any liability which the Borrower may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to each Borrower Indemnified Party, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Borrower and the Borrower Indemnified Parties.
(d)Any indemnification or contribution under this Section 12.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(a)The Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each, a “Servicer Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all claims, expenses, damages, losses and liabilities suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of activities of the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including any judgment, award, settlement, Attorney Costs and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as, “Servicer Indemnified Amounts”); excluding (w) Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Servicer Indemnified Amounts resulted solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Servicer Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, (x) Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Servicer Indemnified Amounts resulted solely from a material breach of a Transaction Document by the Servicer Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, (y) Taxes that are covered by Section 4.03 and (z) Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Pool Receivables that are uncollectible solely on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related Obligor. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Servicer shall pay on demand, to each Servicer Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Servicer Indemnified Party from and against any and all Servicer Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following (but excluding Servicer Indemnified Amounts described in clauses (z), (y) and (z) above):
(i)any representation, warranty or statement made or deemed made by the Servicer (or any of its respective officers) under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents, any Information Package, Interim Report or any other information or report delivered by or on behalf of the Servicer pursuant hereto which shall have been untrue or incorrect when made or deemed made;

(b)If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Servicer Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Servicer Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Servicer and its Affiliates on the one hand and such Servicer Indemnified Party on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of the Servicer and its Affiliates and such Servicer Indemnified Party with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Servicer under this Section 12.02 shall be in addition to any liability which the Servicer may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to Servicer Indemnified Party, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Servicer and the Servicer Indemnified Parties.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents (and, in the case of any amendment, also signed by the Borrower), and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Servicer, affect the
rights or duties of the Servicer under this Agreement; (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent:

All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include facsimile communication) and faxed or delivered, to each party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on Schedule III hereto or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and communications by facsimile shall be effective when sent (and shall be followed by hard copy sent by regular mail), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received.
SECTION 13.03.Assignability; Addition of Lenders; Removal of Lenders.
(a)Assignment by Conduit Lenders. This Agreement and the rights of each Conduit Lender hereunder (including each Loan made by it hereunder) shall be assignable by such Conduit Lender and its successors and permitted assigns (i) to any Program Support Provider of such Conduit Lender without prior notice to or consent from the Borrower or any other party, or any other condition or restriction of any kind, (ii) to any other Lender with prior notice to the Borrower but without consent from the Borrower or (iii) with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to any other Eligible Assignee. Each assignor of a Loan or any interest therein may, in connection with the assignment or participation, disclose to the assignee or Participant any information relating to the Borrower and its Affiliates, including the Receivables, furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates or by the Administrative Agent; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or Participant agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower and its Affiliates received by it from any of the foregoing entities in a manner consistent with Section 13.06(b).
(b)Assignment by Committed Lenders. Each Committed Lender may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Committed Lender all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and any Loan or interests therein owned by it); provided, however that
(i)except for an assignment by a Committed Lender to either an Affiliate of such Committed Lender or any other Committed Lender, each such assignment shall require the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing);
(ii)each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement;
(iii)the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the lesser of (x) five million dollars ($5,000,000) and (y) all of the assigning Committed Lender’s Commitment; and
(iv)the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement, and to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Committed Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Committed Lender shall, to
the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Committed Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Committed Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(c)Register. The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to on Schedule III of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Committed Lenders and the Conduit Lenders, the Commitment of each Committed Lender and the aggregate outstanding Capital (and stated interest) of the Loans of each Conduit Lender and Committed Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Group Agents, and the other Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Committed Lender or Conduit Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Servicer, any Group Agent, any Conduit Lender or any Committed Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)Procedure. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed and delivered by an assigning Committed Lender and an Eligible Assignee or assignee Committed Lender, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been duly completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Servicer.
(e)Participations. Each Committed Lender may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the interests in the Loans owned by it); provided, however, that
(i)such Committed Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, and
(ii)such Committed Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations.
The Administrative Agent, the Group Agents, the Conduit Lenders, the other Committed Lenders, the Borrower and the Servicer shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Lender in connection with such Committed Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
(f)Participant Register. Each Committed Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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 Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Committed Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Committed Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(g)Assignments by Agents. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent herein shall be assignable by the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, as the case may be, and its successors and assigns; provided that in the case of an assignment to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such assignment shall require the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(h)Assignments by the Borrower or the Servicer. Neither the Borrower nor, except as provided in Section 8.01, the Servicer may assign any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent (such consent to be provided or withheld in the sole discretion of such Person).
(i)Addition of Lenders or Groups. The Borrower may, with written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents, add additional Persons as Lenders (by creating a new Group) or cause an existing Lender to increase its Commitment; provided, however, that the Commitment of any existing Lender may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Lender. Each new Lender (or Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, an assumption agreement (each, an “Assumption Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit D hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Lender, be executed by each Person in such new Lender’s Group).
(j)Removal of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.01, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.03, (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (v) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort,
upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, this Section 13.03), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(i)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding Capital, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Capital and accrued interest and fees);
(ii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iii)such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(k)Pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) any Lender, Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its interest in, to and under this Agreement (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Interest) and any other Transaction Document to secure its obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or the consent of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Affiliate thereof or any Credit Party; provided, however, that that no such pledge shall relieve such assignor of its obligations under this Agreement.
(l)Pledge to a Security Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) any Lender, Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its interest in, to and under this Agreement (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Interest) and any other Transaction Document to a security trustee in connection with the funding by such Person of Loans, without notice to or the consent of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Affiliate thereof or any Credit Party; provided, however, that that no such pledge shall relieve such assignor of its obligations under this Agreement.
SECTION 13.04.Costs and Expenses. In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 12.01 hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, any Program Support Agreement (or any supplement or amendment thereof) related to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents (together with all amendments, restatements, supplements, consents and waivers, if any, from time to time hereto and thereto), including, without limitation, (i) the reasonable Attorney Costs for the Administrative Agent, the Structuring Agent and the other Credit Parties and any of their respective Affiliates with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent, the Structuring Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (ii) reasonable accountants’, auditors’ and consultants’ fees and expenses for the Administrative Agent, the Structuring Agent and the other Credit Parties and any of their respective Affiliates and the fees and charges of any nationally recognized statistical rating agency incurred in connection with the administration and maintenance of this Agreement or advising the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement or as to any actual or reasonably claimed breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs), of the Administrative Agent, the Structuring Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of their respective rights or remedies under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
SECTION 13.05.No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments.
(a)Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, each Group Agent, each Lender and each assignee of a Loan or any interest agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Lender any Insolvency Proceeding so long as any Notes or other senior indebtedness issued by such Conduit Lender shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Notes or other senior indebtedness shall have been outstanding.
(b)Each of the Servicer, each Group Agent, each Lender and each assignee of a Loan or any interest therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower any Insolvency Proceeding until one year and one day after the Final Payout Date; provided, that the Administrative Agent may take any such action in its sole discretion following the occurrence of an Event of Default.
(c)Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Conduit Lender shall not, and shall be under no obligation to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such Conduit Lender has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay such Conduit Lender’s Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Lender could issue Notes to refinance all of its outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Lender’s securitization program or (y) all of such Conduit Lender’s Notes are paid in full. Any amount which any Conduit Lender does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Lender for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Lender satisfies the provisions of clauses (i)
and (ii) above. The provisions of this Section 13.05 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that each of the Borrower, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates may publish a press release or otherwise publicly announce the existence and principal amount of the Commitments under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the Administrative Agent shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review such press release or other public announcement prior to its release and provide comment thereon; and provided, further, that no such press release shall name or otherwise identify the Administrative Agent, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates without such Person’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

SECTION 13.17.Severability. Any provisions of this Agreement which are 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.

2. The Originators generate Receivables in the ordinary course of their businesses.
3. The Originators, in order to finance their respective businesses, wish to sell (or, in the case of Integra, contribute from time to time) Receivables and the Related Rights to the Buyer, and the Buyer is willing to purchase or accept such Receivables and the Related Rights from the Originators, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

Integra may from time to time at its option, by notice to the Buyer on or prior to the date of the proposed contribution, identify Receivables that it proposes to contribute to the Buyer as a capital contribution, and if the Buyer is Solvent on the date of the contribution, Integra hereby on the date of contribution transfers, conveys and absolutely assigns to Buyer all Receivables identified in such notice. On the date of and after giving effect to each contribution, the Buyer shall own Integra’s entire right, title, and interest in the Receivables so identified and contributed and all Related Rights with respect thereto.
SECTION 1.5Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and (b) the Payment Date immediately following the day on which the Originators shall have given written notice to the Buyer, the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent at or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) that the Originators desire to terminate this Agreement.
SECTION 1.6Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of each Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by such Originator to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables, including without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting accounts or payment intangibles each as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale or contribution and absolute assignment (without recourse except as provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Buyer be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator. However, if, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any conveyance of Receivables, including without limitation any Receivables constituting accounts or payment intangibles each as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights is not construed to be both a valid and perfected sale or contribution and absolute assignment of such Receivables and Related Rights, and a conveyance of such Receivables and Related Rights that is prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including without limitation lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator, then, it is the intent of such Originator and the Buyer that (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC to secure payment or performance of an obligation and (ii) such Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, and such Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in, to and under all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to: (A) the Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter created by such Originator transferred or purported to be transferred hereunder, (B) all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and (C) all books and records of such Originator to the extent related to any of the foregoing to secure payment of an obligation in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivables.
ARTICLE II
PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE
SECTION 2.1Purchase Report. On the Closing Date and on each date when an Information Package is due to be delivered under the Receivables Financing Agreement (each such date, a “Monthly Purchase Report Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Buyer and each Originator a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) setting forth, among other things:
(a)Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Originator on the Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Closing Date);
(b)Receivables purchased or accepted as a contribution by the Buyer from each Originator during the Fiscal Month immediately preceding such Monthly Purchase Report Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report); and
(c)the calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price for any Receivables as provided in Section 3.3 (a) and (b).
SECTION 2.2Calculation of Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” to be paid to each Originator in accordance with the terms of Article III for the Receivables and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
PP = OB x FMVD
where:
PP = Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date.
OB = The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date.
FMVD = Fair Market Value Discount, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to the quotient (expressed as percentage) of (a) one, divided by (b) the sum of (i) one, plus (ii) the product of (A) the Prime Rate on such Payment Date, times (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Days’ Sales Outstanding (calculated as of the last day of the Fiscal Month immediately preceding such Payment Date) and the denominator of which is 365 or 366, as applicable.
“Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originators are open for business.
“Prime Rate” means a per annum rate equal to the “U.S. Prime Rate” as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal or if such information ceases to be published
in The Wall Street Journal, such other publication as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
ARTICLE III
PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE
SECTION 3.1Initial Purchase Price Payment.
(a)On the Closing Date, Integra shall and hereby does absolutely assign and contribute to the capital of the Buyer, the Receivables having an aggregate Outstanding Balance of thirteen million four hundred and fifty-two thousand nine hundred and ninety-three dollars ($13,452,993). The consideration for such absolute assignment and contribution is the increase in the value of the membership interests in the Buyer owned by Integra.
(b)On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made from such Originator on the Closing Date (i) to the extent the Buyer has unrestricted cash available therefor (and such payment is not prohibited by the Receivables Financing Agreement), partially, in cash (in an amount to be agreed between the Buyer and such Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report) and (ii) the remainder by issuing a promissory note in the form of Exhibit B to such Originator (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, each being herein called a “Subordinated Note”) with an initial principal amount equal to the remaining Purchase Price payable to such Originator not paid in cash.
SECTION 3.2Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables and the Related Rights generated by such Originator since the immediately preceding Payment Date in accordance with Section 1.2(b):
(a)First, in cash to the extent the Buyer has unrestricted cash available therefor (and such payment is not prohibited under the Receivables Financing Agreement); and
(b)Second, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under the applicable Subordinated Note shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price and (y) the maximum increase in the principal balance of the applicable Subordinated Note that could be made without rendering the Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount;
provided, however, that if more than one Originator is selling Receivables to the Buyer on the date of such purchase, the Buyer shall make cash payments among the Originators in such a way as to minimize to the greatest extent practicable the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Notes; and provided, further, that (i) there may be a borrowing under the
Subordinated Note only if, at the time of (and immediately after) each loan under the Subordinated Note is made, (i) the Buyer is Solvent, (ii) the Buyer’s cash on hand is sufficient to satisfy all of its current obligations (other than its obligations under the Subordinated Note and the obligation to pay the Purchase Price of the Receivables), (iii) its capitalization, including its equity, is commercially reasonable and adequate to conduct its business as presently contemplated and (iv) the financial capacity of the Buyer to meet its financial commitments under the Subordinated Note is adequate; and provided further that, to the extent that the Purchase Price for any Receivable or Receivables to be sold pursuant to Section 1.2(b) cannot be paid because of an inability of the Buyer to borrow under the Subordinated Note under this Section 3.2(b) then such Receivables shall be deemed not to be sold pursuant to this Agreement unless until the Buyer has sufficient cash (or capacity under Subordinated Note) to pay the Purchase Price. Upon the payment in full of such Purchase Price for such Receivables, the Receivables will deemed to be sold at the time of such payment.
“Net Worth” has the meaning set forth under “Borrower’s Net Worth” in the Receivables Financing Agreement.
All amounts paid by the Buyer to any Originator in respect of the Subordinated Note of such Originator shall be allocated first to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Note of such Originator and second to the repayment of the principal outstanding on the Subordinated Note of such Originator to the extent of such outstanding principal thereof as of the date of such payment before such amounts may be allocated for any other purpose. The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the Subordinated Notes to reflect the foregoing payments and payments and reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, and the Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each of the Subordinated Notes at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to mark the Subordinated Notes “CANCELED” and to return such Subordinated Notes to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date.
The consideration for the Receivables absolutely assigned and contributed by Integra to the capital of the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.4 consists of the increase in the value of the membership interests in the Buyer owned by Integra.
SECTION 3.3Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.
(a)If, (i) on the day of purchase of any Receivable from an Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.15, 5.30, 5.31, 5.34, 5.35 or 5.36 are not true with respect to such Receivable or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivable due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of such Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.15, 5.30, 5.31, 5.34, 5.35 or 5.36 is no longer true with respect to such Receivable, then such Originator shall reimburse the Buyer for such Receivable in an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, which reimbursement shall be accounted to the Buyer as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Buyer thereafter
receives payment on account of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver such funds to such Originator.
(b)If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased hereunder is either (i) reduced, adjusted or canceled as a result of (A) any defective, rejected or returned goods or services, any cash or other discount, or any failure by an Originator to deliver any goods or perform any services or otherwise perform under the underlying Contract or invoice, (B) any change in or cancellation of any of the terms of such Contract or invoice or any other adjustment by an Originator, any Sub-Servicer, or the Servicer which reduces the amount payable by the Obligor on the related Receivable, (C) any rebates, warranties, allowances or charge-backs or (D) any setoff or credit in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or (ii) subject to any specific dispute, offset, counterclaim or defense whatsoever (except the discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor thereof), then with respect to such Receivable the applicable Originator shall reimburse the Buyer the amount of such net reduction, adjustment, cancellation or dispute, which reimbursement shall be accounted to the Buyer as provided in clause (c) below.
(c)Any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Buyer against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Buyer from such Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables from such Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit:
(i)to the extent of any accrued and unpaid interest under the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under, the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator;
(ii)to the extent of any outstanding principal balance under the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator; and
(iii)after making any deduction pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, shall be paid in cash to the Buyer by such Originator in the manner and for application as described in the following proviso;
provided, further, that at any time (x) when an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default exists under the Receivables Financing Agreement, (y) when a Purchase and Sale Termination Event or an Unmatured Purchase and Sale Termination Event exists under this Agreement or (z) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by such Originator to the Buyer in cash by deposit of immediately available funds into a Collection Account no later than one (1) Business Day after the events described in clauses (x), (y) and (z) above for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.
SECTION 3.4Reconveyance of Receivables. In the event that an Originator has paid the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable, and the credit for such reduction has been applied pursuant to Section 3.3, the Buyer shall reconvey such Receivable to such Originator, without representation, warranty or recourse, but free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, and encumbrances created by the Buyer.

ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
IN RESPECT OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 7.1Rights of the Buyer. Each Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer, the Servicer or their respective designees or assignees under this Agreement or the Receivables Financing Agreement (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) to take any and all steps in such Originator’s name necessary or desirable, in their respective determination, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed by it hereunder, including, without limitation, endorsing the name of such Originator on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the provisions of the related Contracts that
concern payment and/or enforcement of rights to payment; provided, however, the Administrative Agent shall not take any of the foregoing actions unless a Purchase and Sale Termination Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 7.2Responsibilities of the Originators. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a)Each Originator shall perform its obligations hereunder, and the exercise by the Buyer or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve such Originator from such obligations.
(b)None of the Buyer, the Servicer, the Lenders, the Group Agents or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or any other third Person with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall the Buyer, the Servicer, the Lenders, the Group Agents or the Administrative Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations of such Originator thereunder.
(c)Each Originator hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power-of-attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default to take in the name of such Originator all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by such Originator or transmitted or received by the Buyer (whether or not from such Originator) in connection with any Receivable sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed by it hereunder or Related Right.
SECTION 7.3Further Action Evidencing Purchases. On or prior to the Closing Date, each Originator shall mark its master data processing records evidencing Pool Receivables and Contracts with a legend, acceptable to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent, evidencing that the Pool Receivables have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement and none of the Originators or Servicer shall change or remove such notation without the consent of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent. Each Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Buyer, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivables and Related Rights purchased by or contributed to the Buyer hereunder, or to enable the Buyer to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the request of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent, such Originator will execute (if applicable), authorize and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate.
Each Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables and
Related Rights sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed by it hereunder and now existing or hereafter generated by such Originator. If any Originator fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Originator.
SECTION 7.4Application of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or required by Applicable Law and unless otherwise instructed by the Servicer (with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder (such application to be made starting with the oldest outstanding Receivable or Receivables) before being applied to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.
SECTION 7.5Performance of Obligations. Each Originator shall (i) perform all of its obligations under the Contracts related to the Receivables generated by such Originator to the same extent as if interests in such Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve any Originator from any such obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including, without limitation, any sales taxes payable in connection with the Receivables generated by such Originator and their creation and satisfaction.

(a)the breach of any representation, warranty or statement made or deemed made by such Originator (or any employee, officer or agent of such Originator) under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any information or report delivered by or on behalf of such Originator pursuant hereto or thereto which shall have been untrue or incorrect when made or deemed made or delivered;
(b)the failure by such Originator to comply with any Applicable Law with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract; or the failure of any Pool Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any such Applicable Law;
(c)the lack of an enforceable first priority perfected security interest (within the meaning of the applicable UCC), in the Pool Receivables (and all Related Security) originated by such Originator against all Persons (including any bankruptcy trustee or similar Person), free and clear of any Adverse Claim;
(d)the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements, financing statement amendments, continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Laws with respect to the sale, transfer, absolute assignment or contribution to the Buyer of any Pool Receivable or the Related Rights at any time;
(e)the transfer by such Originator of any interest in any Pool Receivable or Related Right other than the transfer of any Pool Receivable and Related Security to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the grant of a security interest (within the meaning of the applicable UCC) to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;
(f)any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of an Obligor to the payment of any Pool Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Pool Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from or relating to collection activities with respect to such Pool Receivable;
(g)any failure of such Originator to perform any of its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof and of each other Transaction Document related to Pool Receivables or to timely and fully comply with the Credit and Collection Procedures in regard to each Pool Receivable;
(h)the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time with other funds;
(i)any investigation, litigation or proceeding (actual or threatened) related to its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in respect of any Pool Receivable or any Related Rights arising out of the Originator’s origination, ownership, sale, transfer, assignment or servicing of such Pool Receivable;
(j)any failure of any Originator to comply with its covenants, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;
(k)any offset, setoff, adjustment or other non-cash reduction of any Pool Receivable (including Deemed Collections) not arising from the bankruptcy or insolvency, lack of creditworthiness or other financial default or inability to pay of the related Obligor any undisputed indebtedness;

(o)any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of an Obligor to the payment of any Pool Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Pool Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of goods or the rendering of services related to such Pool Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish any such goods or services or other similar claim or defense not arising from the bankruptcy or insolvency, lack of creditworthiness or other financial default or inability to pay of the related Obligor any undisputed indebtedness;

provided that such indemnity shall not be available to any Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or (ii) constitute recourse with respect to a Pool Receivable by reason of the bankruptcy or
insolvency, lack of creditworthiness or other financial default or inability to pay of the related Obligor.
If for any reason (other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party) the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party harmless, then each of the Originators, severally and for itself alone, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of such Originator under this Section 9.1 shall be in addition to any liability which such Originator may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of such Originator and the Purchase and Sale Indemnified Parties.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by facsimile or other electronic means shall be equally effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart.
SECTION 10.11Acknowledgment and Agreement. By execution below, each Originator expressly acknowledges and agrees that all of the Buyer’s rights, title, and interests in, to, and under this Agreement (but not its obligations), shall be assigned by the Buyer to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement, and each Originator consents to such assignment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders, the Group Agents and the Administrative Agent are third-party beneficiaries of the rights of the Buyer arising hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which any Originator is a party, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Administrative Agent, and not the Buyer, shall have the sole right to exercise all such rights and related remedies.
SECTION 10.12No Proceeding.

otherwise to such Originator pursuant to this Agreement unless the Buyer has received funds which may, subject to Section 3.01 of the Receivables Financing Agreement, be used to make such payment. Any amount which the Buyer does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of the Buyer by such Originator for any such insufficiency unless and until the provisions of the foregoing sentence are satisfied. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.13Mutual Negotiations.

SECTION 10.14Severability. Any provisions of this Agreement which are 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.
SECTION 10.15Limited Recourse. Except as explicitly set forth herein, the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party are solely the obligations of the Buyer.
