The Applicable Percentage shall, in each case,
be determined and adjusted quarterly on the date five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent has received

to the Administrative Agent is shown to be inaccurate in a manner that results in the miscalculation of the Leverage Ratio (regardless

than the Applicable Percentage applied for such Applicable Period, then the Credit Parties shall immediately (i) deliver to the
Administrative Agent corrected Required Financial Information for such Applicable Period, (ii) determine the Applicable Percentage
for such Applicable Period based upon the corrected Required Financial Information (which Applicable Percentage shall be made effective
immediately in the current period, to the extent applicable) and (iii) immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued
additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Percentage for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be
promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.14(a). It is acknowledged and agreed that nothing

rights under Sections 2.9 and 7.2.

ARTICLE II

CREDIT FACILITY


 


2.1             
Loans.


 


(a)               
Commitment. During the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders severally agree
to make revolving credit loans in U.S. Dollars (each a “Loan” and collectively the “Loans”)
to the Parent Borrower from time to time in an aggregate principal amount which does not exceed FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION U.S.
DOLLARS (U.S.$450,000,000) (as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with Section 2.12, the “Revolving
Committed Amount”); provided, however, that after giving effect to any such Loans, (i) the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Loans shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of any Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage of outstanding Loans shall not exceed its applicable Commitment. Loans may consist of Alternate
Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Parent Borrower may request, and may be repaid and reborrowed
in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, however, Loans made on the Closing Date or on any of the three
(3) Business Days following the Closing Date may only consist of Alternate Base Rate Loans unless the Parent Borrower executes
a funding indemnity letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. LIBOR Rate Loans denominated
in U.S. Dollars shall be made by each Lender at its LIBOR Lending Office. Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be made by each Lender
at its Domestic Lending Office.


 


(b)              
Loan Borrowings.


 


(i)Notice of Borrowing. The Parent
Borrower may request a Loan borrowing by delivering a written Notice of Borrowing (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing
by delivery of a written Notice of Borrowing, which delivery may be by fax or electronically by pdf) to the Administrative Agent
not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date of the requested borrowing in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, and on the third Business
Day prior to the date of the requested borrowing in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans. Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable
and shall specify (A) that a Loan is requested, (B) the date of the requested borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the
aggregate principal amount to be borrowed and (D) whether the borrowing shall be comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans, LIBOR
Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and if LIBOR Rate Loans are requested, the Interest Period(s) therefor. If the Parent Borrower
shall fail to specify in any such Notice of Borrowing (1) an applicable Interest Period in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, then
such notice shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one (1) month, or (2) the Type of Loan requested, then such
notice shall be deemed to be a request for an Alternate Base Rate Loan hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to
each Lender promptly upon receipt of each Notice of Borrowing, the contents thereof and each such Lender’s share thereof.


 


(ii)Minimum Amounts. Each Loan shall
be in a minimum aggregate amount of the Borrowing Minimum and integral multiples of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof (or
the remaining Revolving Committed Amount, if less).


 


(iii)Advances. Each Lender will make
its Revolving Commitment Percentage of each Loan borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Parent
Borrower, in U.S. Dollars and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s office
by 2:00 p.m. on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Such borrowing will then promptly be made available to
the Parent Borrower by the Administrative Agent on such date by crediting the account of the Parent Borrower designated in the
Account Designation Letter hereunder with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders
and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(c)               
Repayment. The principal amount of all Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Revolving Maturity Date, unless
accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 7.2.


 


(d)              
Interest. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.9 and 2.14, Loans shall bear interest as follows:


 


(i)              
Alternate Base Rate Loans. During such periods as Loans shall be comprised in whole or in part of Alternate Base
Rate Loans, such Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus
the Applicable Percentage; and


 


(ii)              
LIBOR Rate Loans. During such periods as Loans shall be comprised in whole or in part of LIBOR Rate Loans, such LIBOR
Rate Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Percentage.


 


Interest on Loans shall be payable in arrears on each applicable
Interest Payment Date (or at such other times as may be specified herein).


 


(e)               
Notes. The Loans shall be further evidenced by a duly executed Note in favor of each Lender that requests such a
note substantially in the form of Exhibit E, if requested by such Lender.


 


(f)               
Designation of Additional Borrowers. From time to time, the Parent Borrower may designate Restricted Subsidiaries
of the Parent Borrower incorporated, formed or otherwise organized in the United States and reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent as joint and several additional Borrowers under the Loans and such parties shall become a party to
this Agreement pursuant to a joinder agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that the Parent
Borrower shall have furnished each of the Lenders with all documentation and other information reasonably requested by the Lenders
relating to the additional Borrowers required by the applicable Governmental Authorities under applicable “know your customer”
and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Canadian AML Acts, or applicable anti-corruption

Default Rate.


 


If any principal of or interest on any Loan
or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration
or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate two percent (2%) greater than the
interest rate which would otherwise be applicable (or if no rate is applicable, whether in respect of interest, fees or other amounts,
then two percent (2%) greater than the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage).


 


2.10         
Conversion Options.


 


(a)               
The Parent Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans and/or LIBOR Rate
Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans, by delivering a Notice of Conversion/Extension to the Administrative Agent at least three (3)
Business Days’ prior to the proposed date of conversion. If the date upon which an Alternate Base Rate Loan is to be converted
to a LIBOR Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loans is to be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan is not a Business Day, then such conversion
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and during the period from such last day of an Interest Period to such succeeding
Business Day such Loan shall bear interest as if it were an Alternate Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable. All or
any part of outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided that
(i) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing except
with the consent of the Required Lenders, and (ii) partial conversions shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of the
Borrowing Minimum or a whole multiple amount of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof.

[Reserved].


 


(c)               
[Reserved].


 


(d)              
Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance
by the Parent Borrower with the notice provisions contained in Sections 2.10(a); provided, that no LIBOR Rate Loan
may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, except with the consent of the Required
Lenders, in which case such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable
Interest Period with respect thereto. If a Borrower shall fail to give timely notice of an election to continue a LIBOR Rate Loan,
or the continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans is not permitted hereunder, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to an
Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto.


 


2.11         
Prepayments.


 


(a)

, (ii) repayments of LIBOR Rate Loans must be accompanied by payment of any amounts owing under Section 2.20 and (iii) partial
repayments of Loans shall be in minimum principal amount of the Borrowing Minimum, and in integral multiples of the Borrowing Multiple

would have occurred had such loan not been prepaid or, at the request of the Administrative Agent in the case of a prepayment under
this clause (a) or clause (b) below, interest on the principal amount prepaid shall be payable on any date that a prepayment is
made hereunder through the date of prepayment. Amounts prepaid on the Loans may be reborrowed in accordance with the terms hereof.
Each notice delivered by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be revocable by the Parent Borrower
by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the proposed prepayment date specified therein.


 






    	 	34	 



     


    

(b)              
Mandatory Prepayments.


 


(i)Revolving Committed Amount. If
at any time after the Closing Date, the aggregate principal amount of (x) the outstanding Loans shall exceed the Revolving Committed
Amount, then the Parent Borrower immediately shall prepay the applicable Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess
over the Revolving Committed Amount.


 


(ii)Application of Mandatory Prepayments.
Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first ratably to Alternate Base Rate Loans
and then to LIBOR Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.11(b) shall
be subject to Section 2.20 and be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.


 


(c)               
[Reserved].


 


(d)              
Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. Provided that so long as no Event of Default is in existence to the extent that any
such prepayment would create funding losses under Section 2.20, the portion of such payment that would cause such funding
losses shall not be due and payable until the earliest date on which no funding losses would occur as a result of such payment
(without giving effect to any continuation or conversion of any Loan).


 


2.12         
Termination and Reduction of Commitments.


 


(a)               
Voluntary Reductions. The Parent Borrower shall have the right to terminate or permanently reduce the unused portion
of the Revolving Committed Amount at any time or from time to time upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of each such termination or reduction,
which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of
U.S.$2,000,000 or a whole multiple of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall be accompanied by any prepayment required under
Section 2.11(b)(i). Delivery by the Parent Borrower of a notice of reduction pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to
be a permanent reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount. Each notice delivered by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section
2.12(a) shall be revocable by the Parent Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the proposed termination
or reduction date specified therein)..


 


(b)              
Mandatory Reduction. The Commitments shall terminate automatically on the Revolving Maturity Date.


 






    	 	35	 



     


    

2.13

for the ratable benefit of the Lenders a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to the Applicable
Percentage per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Committed Amount then in effect (other than that portion
attributable to the Defaulting Lenders, if any). The Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
calendar quarter.


 


2.14         
Computation of Interest and Fees.


 


(a)               
Interest on each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable to
such Loan; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan.
Interest payable hereunder with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans accruing interest at the Prime Rate shall be calculated on
the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual days elapsed. All other fees, interest and all other
amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent
shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of each determination of a LIBOR Rate on the Business Day of
the determination thereof. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become
effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of
each such change.


 


(b)              
Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Credit Agreement shall
be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at
the request of the Borrowers, deliver to the Borrowers a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in
determining any interest rate.


 


(c)               
[Reserved]


 


(d)              
It is the intent of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Credit Parties to conform to and contract in strict compliance
with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between or among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the Credit Parties are hereby limited by the provisions of this subsection which shall override and control all such agreements,
whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including prepayment
or acceleration of the maturity of any Credit Party Obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or
received under this Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under applicable
law. If, from any possible construction of any of the Credit Documents or any other document, interest would otherwise be payable
in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection and such
interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under applicable law, without the necessity
of execution of any amendment or new document. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which
is characterized as interest on the Loans under applicable law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the
maximum nonusurious amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied
to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the applicable Borrower
or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount
of the Loans. The right to demand payment of the Loans or any other Indebtedness evidenced by any of the Credit Documents does
not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lenders do not
intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders
with respect to the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout
the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that the amount of interest on account of such Indebtedness
does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law.


 






    	 	36	 



     


    

(e)               
Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make
such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as
to such Lender); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay
such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts payable hereunder
solely in respect of increased costs resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.


 


2.15         
Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.


 


(a)               
Pro Rata Distribution of Payments. Each payment on account of an amount due from the Parent Borrower hereunder or
under any other Credit Document shall be made by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account
of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment as provided herein in U.S. Dollars. The obligation of the Borrowers to make each
payment on account of such amount in U.S. Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant
to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any other currency, except to the extent such tender or recovery shall
result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent of the full amount in U.S. Dollars hereunder. Each of the Borrowers agree
that its obligation to make each payment on account of such amount in U.S. Dollars shall be enforceable as an additional or alternative
claim for recovery in U.S. Dollars of the amount (if any) by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of U.S.
Dollars, and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for such amount.


 


(b)              
Application of Payments Prior to Exercise of Remedies. Each borrowing of Loans and any reduction of the Commitments
shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Unless otherwise specified
in this Credit Agreement, each payment under this Credit Agreement or any Note shall be applied (i) first, to any fees then
due and owing by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.13, (ii) second, to interest then due and owing hereunder and
under the Notes of the Borrowers and (iii) third, to principal then due and owing hereunder and under the Notes of the Borrowers.
Each payment on account of any fees pursuant to Section 2.13 shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective
amounts due and owing. Each payment (other than voluntary repayments and mandatory prepayments) by the Borrowers on account of
principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective amounts due and owing hereunder.
Each voluntary repayment and mandatory prepayment on account of principal of the Loans shall be applied in accordance with Section
2.11(a) and Section 2.11(b)(ii), respectively. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account
of principal, interest and fees shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders (except as provided in Section 2.25(b)) at the Administrative Agent’s office
specified in Section 9.2 and shall be made in U.S. Dollars not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date when due. The Administrative
Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment
hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Rate Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable
at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a LIBOR Rate Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than
a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension
would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day.

(c)               
Allocation of Payments After Exercise of Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement to
the contrary, after the exercise of remedies (other than the invocation of default interest pursuant to Section 2.9) by
any of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.2 (or after the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the
Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts under the Credit Documents shall automatically become due and payable
in accordance with the terms of such Section), all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account
of the Credit Party Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents shall be paid over or delivered
as follows:


 


FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing
the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents;


 


SECOND, to payment of any fees owed
to the Administrative Agent;


 


THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing
its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender;


 


FOURTH, to the payment of all of the
Credit Party Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest, and including, with respect to any Guaranteed Hedging Agreement
and/or any Guaranteed Cash Management Agreement, any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under such Guaranteed Hedging
Agreement and/or Guaranteed Cash Management Agreement and any interest accrued thereon;


 


FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding
principal amount of the Credit Party Obligations, and including with respect to any Guaranteed Hedging Agreement and/or any Guaranteed
Cash Management Agreement, any breakage, termination or other payments due under such Guaranteed Hedging Agreement and any interest
accrued thereon;


 


SIXTH, to all other Credit Party Obligations
and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to
clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and


 


SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus,
if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.


 


In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied
in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Lenders,
Cash Management Banks and/or Hedging Agreement Providers shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion
that the then outstanding Loans held by such Lender or the outstanding obligations payable to such Hedging Agreement Provider and/or
Cash Management Bank bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans and obligations payable under all Hedging Agreements with a
Hedging Agreement Provider and/or Cash Management Agreements with a Cash Management Bank) of amounts available to be applied pursuant
to clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above.


 


The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed
to have notice of the existence of, notice of any Credit Party Obligations owed to, or be responsible for any distribution to,
any Hedging Agreement Provider and/or Cash Management Bank for any purposes of this Agreement unless such amounts have been notified
in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower and, as applicable, such Hedging Agreement Provider or Cash Management
Bank.


 






    	 	38	 



     


    

(d)              
Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), if there exists a Defaulting Lender,
each payment by the Borrowers to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.25(b).


 


2.16         
Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.


 


(a)               
Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified
in writing by a Lender prior to the date a Loan is to be made by such Lender (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that
such Lender does not intend to make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent
may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Parent Borrower a corresponding amount.
If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be able
to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower, and such Borrower
shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to
recover from the Lender or the Parent Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day
from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower to the date such
corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Parent Borrower at the
applicable rate for the borrowing pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing and (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Rate.


 


(b)              
Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified
in writing by the Parent Borrower, prior to the date on which any payment is due from it hereunder (which notice shall be effective
upon receipt) that the Parent Borrower does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower
has made such payment when due, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to)
make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to the portion of such assumed payment to which such Lender
is entitled hereunder, and if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on
demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to such Lender. If such amount is repaid to the Administrative
Agent on a date after the date such amount was made available to such Lender, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent
on demand interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent
at a per annum rate equal to, if repaid to the Administrative Agent within two (2) days from the date such amount was made available
by the Administrative Agent, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate.


 


(c)               
Evidence of Amounts Owed. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to a Borrower or any Lender with respect
to any amount owing under this Section 2.16 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.


 


(d)              
Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any
Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available
to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Extension of Credit set forth in Article
IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith return such funds
(in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.


 


(e)               
Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant
to Section 9.5(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any such payment under
Section 9.5(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so
on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation
or to make its payment under Section 9.5(c).


 






    	 	39	 



     


    

(f)               
Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular
place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner.


 


2.17         
Inability to Determine Interest Rate.


 


Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Credit Agreement, if (a) the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate means do not exist
for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or (b) the Required Lenders shall reasonably determine (which determination
shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding LIBOR Rate Loans that a Borrower has requested be outstanding as a LIBOR tranche during such Interest Period,
then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Borrowers
and the Lenders at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given (a) any
affected LIBOR Rate Loans requested to be made by the Parent Borrower on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made, at
the sole option of the Parent Borrower, as Alternate Base Rate Loans or such request shall be cancelled and (b) any affected Loans
that were to have been converted at the request of the Parent Borrower on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued
as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted to or continued, at the sole option of the Parent Borrower as Alternate Base Rate Loans.
Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Loans shall be made as, continued as, or converted
into, LIBOR Rate Loans for the Interest Periods so affected.


 


If
at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (a) the circumstances
set forth in clause (a) of the immediately preceding paragraph have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary
or (b) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) of the immediately preceding paragraph have not arisen but the supervisor for
the administrator of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement
identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative
Agent and the Parent Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to LIBOR that gives due consideration to
the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time
and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to
this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the
Applicable Percentage). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.1, such amendment shall become effective without
any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received,
within ten Business Days of the date written notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice
from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined
in accordance with this Section 2.17 (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (b) of the first sentence of this
paragraph of this Section 2.17, only to the extent LIBOR for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available
or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Notice of Conversion/Extension that requests the conversion of any borrowing
of Loans to, or continuation of any borrowing of Loans as, a borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be ineffective and (y) if any
Notice of Borrowing requests a borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, such borrowing shall be made as a borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided
that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, then such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of
this Agreement.

2.18         
Illegality.


 


Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Credit Agreement, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by
the relevant Governmental Authority to any Lender shall make it unlawful for such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to make or
maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, as contemplated by this Credit Agreement or to obtain in the applicable interbank market through its
LIBOR Lending Office the funds with which to make such Loans, (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and
the Borrowers thereof, (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Loans or continue LIBOR Rate Loans as such
shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall give notice that the condition or situation which gave rise to
the suspension shall no longer exist and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted
to Alternate Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans or within such earlier period as required by
law. The Parent Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender for actual and direct costs (but not including anticipated profits) reasonably incurred by such Lender including any
interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder.
A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative
Agent to the Parent Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts
(including reasonable efforts to change its LIBOR Lending Office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may otherwise be payable
pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any
additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material.


 


2.19         
Requirements of Law.


 


(a)               
If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance
by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date:


 


(i)              
shall subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR Rate Loan made by
it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for any Indemnified Taxes indemnifiable
under Section 2.21 or any Excluded Taxes);


 


(ii)              
shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets
held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other
acquisition of funds by, any office of any Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder;
or


 


(iii)              
shall impose on such Lender any other condition;


 


and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
such Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder or under any Note, then, in
any such case, the Parent Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender reasonably deems to be material as determined
by such Lender. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the
Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable
efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its Domestic Lending Office or LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be) to avoid
or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this subsection (a); provided, however,
that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by
such Lender in its sole discretion to be material. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection
therewith as well as (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities,
in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change in “Requirement of Law,” regardless of the date
enacted, adopted or issued.


 






    	 	41	 



     


    

(b)              
If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital
adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling
such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from
any central bank or Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below
that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount reasonably
deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such
Lender, the Parent Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as shall be certified by such Lender as being required
to compensate it for such reduction (but, in the case of outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans, without duplication of any amounts
already recovered by a Lender by reason of an adjustment in the Alternate Base Rate,). Such a certificate as to any additional
amounts payable under this Section submitted by a Lender (which certificate shall include a description of the basis for the computation),
through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(c)               
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
2.19 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Parent
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.19 for any
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be,
notifies the Parent Borrower of the Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).


 


(d)              
The agreements in this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and payment of the Notes
and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 


2.20         
Indemnity.


 


The Parent Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify
each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any funding loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence
of (a) default by such Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan by such Lender in accordance with
the terms hereof, (b) default by such Borrower in accepting a borrowing after such Borrower has given a notice in accordance with
the terms hereof, (c) default by such Borrower in making any repayment after such Borrower has given a notice in accordance with
the terms hereof, and/or (d) the making by such Borrower of a repayment or prepayment of a Loan, or the conversion thereof, on
a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, in each case including any such loss or expense arising
from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans hereunder to the
extent not received by such Lender in connection with the re-employment of such funds (but excluding loss of anticipated profits).
A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative
Agent, to the Parent Borrower (which certificate must be delivered to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days following
such default, repayment, prepayment or conversion and shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts in reasonable detail)
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive termination of this
Credit Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 






    	 	42	 



     


    

2.21         
Taxes.


 


(a)               
All payments made by any Credit Party hereunder or under any Credit Document will be, except as required by applicable law,
made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments
or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority or by any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, including all interest, penalties and additions to tax with respect thereto (“Taxes”).
If any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent or any other applicable withholding agent is required by law to make any deduction
or withholding on account of any Taxes from or in respect of any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to any Lender or the Administrative
Agent under any of the Credit Documents, then the applicable withholding agent shall make such deduction or withholding and shall
timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if
such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party to such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall
be increased by such Credit Party to the extent necessary to ensure that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including
such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.21) each Lender (or, in the
case of a payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by
any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.21, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


 


(b)              
In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law.


 


(c)               
The Credit Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent, within
10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed on
or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.21) paid or payable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(d)              
Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under
any Credit Document shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested
by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by
the Parent 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 Lender, if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent
as will enable the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than any documentation relating to U.S. federal withholding Taxes) shall
not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender
to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Parent Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any
documentation provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.21(d).


 






    	 	43	 



     


    

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,


 


(1)       Each
Lender that is a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver
to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed
originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.


 


(2)       Each
Lender that is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to
deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under
this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
whichever of the following is applicable:


 


(i) two executed originals of IRS
Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party,


 


(ii) two executed originals of IRS
Form W-8ECI (or successor forms),


 


(iii) in the case of a Lender claiming
the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two executed originals
of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (any such certificate, a “Tax Exempt Certificate”)
and (y) two executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor forms),


 


(iv) to the extent a Lender is not
the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor
forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, Tax Exempt Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other
required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.21(d)
if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender)
and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the Tax Exempt Certificate may be provided
by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partners(s)), or


 


(v) two executed originals of any
other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income Tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a
complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding Tax on any payments to such Lender under the Credit
Documents.


 






    	 	44	 



     


    

(3)       If
a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such
Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b)
or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time
or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent 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 Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower
and the Administrative Agent to comply with their FATCA obligations, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with
such Lender’s FATCA obligations and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.


 


In addition, each Lender agrees that, whenever
a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any such documentation (including any specific documentation required in this
Section 2.21(d)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, it shall deliver promptly to the Parent Borrower and the
Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Parent
Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal
ineligibility to do so.


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 2.21(d), no Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver.


 


(e)               
Each Lender that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to this Section 2.21 agrees to use reasonable
efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its lending office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be
payable pursuant to this Section 2.21; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition
on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material.


 


(f)               
If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any
Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Credit Party or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.21, it shall promptly pay to the relevant Credit Party an amount equal to such refund
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Party under this Section 2.21
with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes imposed
with respect to such refund) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the applicable Credit Party,
upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Credit Party (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender
in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection
shall not be construed to interfere with the right of a Lender or the Administrative Agent to arrange its Tax affairs in whatever
manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or the Administrative Agent to disclose any information relating to its Tax affairs
or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to do anything that would prejudice its
ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to a Credit Party the payment of which would
place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than it would have been in if the additional amounts or indemnification
payments giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes had never been paid.

The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace
any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18, Section 2.19 or Section
2.21 or (b) is a Defaulting Lender hereunder; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement
of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such
replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.18, Section 2.19(a) or Section 2.21(e),
as applicable, so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18, Section 2.19
or Section 2.21, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to
such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Parent Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under

acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with
the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing
fee referred to therein), (viii) with respect to payments due through such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Parent
Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.21, as the
case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. In the event any replaced Lender fails to execute the agreements
required under Section 9.6 in connection with an assignment pursuant to this Section 2.23, the Parent Borrower may,
upon two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to such replaced Lender, execute such agreements on behalf of such replaced Lender.
A Lender shall not be required to be replaced if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances

2.25         
Defaulting Lenders.


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender,

Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may
be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender
to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists),
to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this
Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers,
to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to
fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender against such
Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court
of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect
of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions
set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments
or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or
to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.25(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender,
and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.


 


(c)[Reserved].


 


(d)[Reserved].


 


(e)[Reserved].


 


(f)Certain Fees. For any
period during which any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee
pursuant to Section 2.13 (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required
to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).


 


(g)Defaulting Lender Cure.
If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their good faith judgment that a Defaulting Lender should no
longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date
specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash
collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take
such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis
by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;
provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release
of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that

of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice

referring to this Credit Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice
of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt
notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default
as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain
from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the
Lenders except to the extent that this Credit Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not taken, only with the
consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, as the case may be.


 


8.6             
Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.


 


Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representation
or warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Credit
Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents
to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender,
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and made its own decision
to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit
Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required
to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility
to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial
or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Credit Parties which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent
or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

8.7             
The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.


 


The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates
may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Credit Parties as though the Administrative
Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and any Note issued to it, the
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.


 


8.8             
Successor Administrative Agent.


 


The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative
Agent upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign
as the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint
from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by the Parent Borrower (so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and
duties of the resigning Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective
upon such appointment and approval, and the resigning Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as the Administrative
Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the
parties to this Credit Agreement or any holders of the Notes or Credit Party Obligations;
provided that if the Required Lenders appoint a Defaulting Lender, then such Lender shall not succeed to the rights, powers and
duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation,
then the resigning Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor
Administrative Agent shall be approved by the Parent Borrower; provided that
if the resigning Administrative Agent appoints a Defaulting Lender as the successor Administrative Agent, then such Lender shall
not succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent; provided further that if the resigning
Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment,
then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the resigning Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and (b) all payments, communications
and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the resigning Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each
Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this
Section.

resignation as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.5 shall inure to its benefit
(and the benefit of its sub-agents and Related Parties) as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative
Agent under this Credit Agreement.


 






    	 	71	 



     


    

8.9             
Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any other party) hereby
notifies the Credit Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party, and other
information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Credit Party in accordance
with the Patriot Act.


 


8.10         
Guaranty Matters.


 


(a)               
The Lenders irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent and without any consent or action by any Lender:


 


(i)              
to release any Guarantor (other than Holdco) from
its obligations under the applicable Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction
permitted hereunder; and


 


(ii)              
in the case of the Guaranty of RockTenn, to release the Guaranty of RockTenn when all Existing RockTenn Senior Notes have
been redeemed, repurchased or defeased (including any refinancing or replacement of such Indebtedness with Indebtedness of the
Parent Borrower); and


 


(iii)              
in the case of the Guaranty of MWV, to release the Guaranty of MWV when all Existing MWV Notes have been redeemed, repurchased
or defeased (including any refinancing or replacement of such Indebtedness with Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower).


 


(b)              
Immediately upon the occurrence of any event set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 8.10, the applicable Guaranty shall
automatically be released.


 


(c)               
In connection with a release pursuant to this Section 8.10, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver
to the applicable Credit Party, at the Parent Borrower’s expense, all documents that the applicable Credit Party shall reasonably
request to evidence such release. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing
the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section
8.10; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may not decline to release any guarantee pursuant to this
Section 8.10 due to the absence of any such confirmation.


 


8.11         
Withholding.


 


To the extent required by any applicable law
(as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender
under any Credit Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts
a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of any Lender for
any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed
to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative
Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Credit Parties
to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties,
additions to Tax or interest thereon, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses,
whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such
Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section
8.11. The agreements in this Section 8.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent,

as the Required Lenders may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents
or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided that no such waiver and no such amendment, waiver, supplement,
modification or release shall:


 


(i)              
change the currency in which a Lender’s Commitment is funded or in which payments are made, reduce the amount or extend
the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note or any installment thereon, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee
payable hereunder (except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased post-default rate or as a result of any change
in the definition of “Leverage Ratio” or any component thereof) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof
or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent
of each Lender directly affected thereby; or


 


(ii)              
amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 9.1 or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of
Required Lenders without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; or

or


 






    	 	73

release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty (other than as permitted hereunder)
or all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty provided by all of the Guarantors, without the written consent of all
the Lenders; or


 


(v)              
amend, modify or waive any provision of the Credit Documents requiring consent, approval or request of the Required Lenders
or all Lenders, without the written consent of the Required Lenders or of all Lenders as appropriate; or

or any Person described therein without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; or

[reserved];


 


(xi)              
subordinate the Commitments and Loans to any other Indebtedness without the written consent of all Lenders;


 


provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent
affecting the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document shall in any event be effective, unless in
writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
hereunder, except those affecting it referred to in clause (i) above.


 


Notwithstanding anything in any Credit Document
to the contrary, under no circumstances shall any Hedging Agreement Provider or Cash Management Bank have any voting rights under

Any such waiver, any such amendment, supplement
or modification and any such release shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrowers, the Lenders,
the other Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Notes or Credit Party Obligations. In the case
of any waiver, the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former
position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans and Notes and other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of
Default permanently waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

contrary, the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required for any amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions of Article
VIII (other than the provisions of Section 8.9 and Section 8.10); provided, however, that the Administrative
Agent will provide written notice to the Borrowers of any such amendment, modification or waiver. In addition, notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Credit Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Parent
Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case,
the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not
have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders
stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.


 






    	 	74	 



     


    

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of
all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (A) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees
fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c)
of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein solely with respect to approving the terms
of any such bankruptcy reorganization plan and (B) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral
in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.


 


The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace
with a replacement financial institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) any Lender that fails to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect
to any provision hereof or of any other Credit Document that requires the unanimous approval of all of the Lenders, the approval
of all of the Lenders affected thereby or the approval of a class of Lenders, in each case in accordance with the terms of this
Section 9.1, so long as the consent of the Required Lenders (or, in the case of any proposed amendment, modification, termination,
waiver or consent that requires the approval of a class of Lenders, of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding
Loans and unused Commitments in respect of such class) shall have been obtained with respect to such amendment, modification, termination,
waiver or consent; provided that (1) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (2) the replacement
financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date
of replacement, (3) the replacement financial institution shall approve the proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver
or consent and together with all other replacement financial institutions is sufficient to pass the proposed amendment, modification,
termination, waiver or consent, (4) the Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.20 if any LIBOR
Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto,
(5) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided
that the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (6) the Borrowers shall
pay to the replaced Lender all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.21,
as the case may be, (7) the Borrowers provide at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to such replaced Lender, and
(8) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. In the event any replaced Lender fails to execute the agreements required under
Section 9.6 in connection with an assignment pursuant to this Section 9.1, the Borrowers may, upon two (2) Business
Days’ prior notice to such replaced Lender, execute such agreements on behalf of such replaced Lender. A Lender shall not
be required to be replaced if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling
the Borrowers to require such replacement cease to apply.


 


If at any time the Farm Credit Term Loan Facility
or any other Credit Document (as defined in the Farm Credit Term Loan Facility), or the documentation for any replacement credit
facilities therefor, includes (a) representations and warranties, covenants or events of default (including related definitions)
in favor of a Lender (as defined in the Farm Credit Term Loan Facility), or lender under any such replacement credit facilities,
that are not provided for in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, (b) representations and warranties, covenants or events
of default (including related definitions) in favor of a Lender (as defined in the Farm Credit Term Loan Facility), or lender under
any such replacement credit facilities, that are more restrictive than the same or similar provisions provided for in this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents and/or (c) requirements for the Farm Credit Term Loan Facility to be secured by collateral or guaranteed
by Domestic Subsidiaries of the Parent BorrowerHoldco
that are not already Guarantors (any or all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Most Favored Lender Provisions”)
(in the case of each of the Most Favored Lender Provisions, other than any differences between the Farm Credit Term Loan Facility
and the other Credit Documents (as defined in the Farm Credit Term Loan Facility), on the one hand, and this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents, on the other hand, existing as of the Closing Date (or otherwise consistent with such differences)), then
(i) such Most Favored Lender Provisions shall immediately and automatically be deemed incorporated into this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents as if set forth fully herein and therein, mutatis mutandis, and no such incorporated provision may
thereafter be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, and (ii) the Borrowers
and the Guarantors shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) days after entering into any such Most Favored Lender Provisions,
so advise the Administrative Agent in writing. Thereafter, upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Borrowers and the Guarantors
shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement and, if applicable, the other Credit Documents evidencing the incorporation of
such Most Favored Lender Provisions, it being agreed that any failure to make such request or to enter into any such amendment
shall in no way qualify or limit the incorporation described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence.

as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), in its capacity as such,
or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent)in connection with
such capacity. The agreements in this Section 9.5(c) shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and payment

and 9.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment
or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated

Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries or any Disqualified Institution on the most recent list of Disqualified Institutions made available to the Lenders
at the request of the Parent Borrower prior to the date of such assignment) (each, a “Participant”) in all or
a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or
the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)
such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement.


 






    	 	81	 



     


    

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument
may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that
affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19 and 2.21 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections
and Section 2.23 and it being understood that a Participant shall be required to deliver the documentation required under Section
2.21(d) to only the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 9.7 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16
as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent
of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and
stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error) and such Lender (and
the Borrower, to the extent that the Participant requests payment from the Borrower) 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. The portion of the Participant Register relating to any Participant requesting payment from the Borrowers under the
Credit Documents shall be made available to the Borrowers upon reasonable request. Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
a Lender shall not be required to disclose its Participant Register to the Borrowers or any other Person except to the extent required
in connection with a Tax audit or inquiry to establish that the Loans hereunder are in registered form for U.S. federal income
tax purposes.


 


(e)               
Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections
2.19 and 2.21 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold
to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent
or the entitlement to a greater payment results from a change in law after the date such Participant became a participant.


 


(f)               
Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


 


9.7             
Adjustments; Set-off.


 


(a)               
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations
(in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower
or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Credit Party may
be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit
or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each
Lender agrees to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.


 






    	 	82	 



     


    

(b)              
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal
of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion
of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share
thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such
fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or
make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders
ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts
owing them, provided that:


 


(i)              
if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and


 


(ii)              
the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and
in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment
of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary
thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply).


 


(c)               
Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that
any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff
and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the
amount of such participation.


 


9.8

Severability.


 


Any provision of this Credit Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition

shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.13         
Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.


 


Each of the Borrowers and each other Credit
Party and each other party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, with respect to this Credit

address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto, such service being hereby acknowledged by
each of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties to be effective and binding service in every respect. Each of the Borrowers,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue based
on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any
such jurisdiction.


 


9.14         
Confidentiality.

extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available

Judgment Currency.


 


If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in
any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Credit Document in one currency into another currency,
the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase
the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation
of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other
Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that
in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Credit Agreement (the “Agreement
Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or
such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency
so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers
agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender or
the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater
than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender
agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable
law).


 


9.18         
Subordination of Intercompany Debt.


 


Each Credit Party agrees that all intercompany
Indebtedness among Credit Parties (the “Intercompany Debt”) is subordinated in right of payment, to the prior
payment in full of all Credit Party Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Credit Parties may make and receive payments with respect to the Intercompany
Debt to the extent otherwise permitted by this Agreement; provided, that in the event of and during the continuation of
any Event of Default, no payment shall be made by or on behalf of any Credit Party on account of any Intercompany Debt other than
payments to a Borrower. In the event that any Credit Party other than a Borrower receives any payment of any Intercompany Debt
at a time when such payment is prohibited by this Section 9.18, such payment shall be held by such Credit Party, in trust
for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, the Administrative Agent.

that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured,
may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges
and agrees to be bound by:

Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares
or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement
or any other Credit Document; or


 


(iii)

ARTICLE X

GUARANTY OF PARENT BORROWER OBLIGATIONS


 


10.1         
The Guaranty.


 


In order to induce the Lenders to enter into
this Credit Agreement, any Hedging Agreement Provider to enter into any Guaranteed Hedging Agreement and any Cash Management Bank
to enter into any Guaranteed Cash Management Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and thereunder and in recognition of the
direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors from the Extensions of Credit hereunder, under any Guaranteed Hedging Agreement
and under any Guaranteed Cash Management Agreement, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders as follows: such Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and
not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all
Credit Party Obligations. If any or all of Credit Party Obligations become due and payable hereunder or under any Guaranteed Hedging
Agreement or under any Guaranteed Cash Management Agreement, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such Credit Party Obligations
to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Hedging Agreement Providers, the Cash Management Banks or their respective order,
on demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting
any of such Credit Party Obligations.


 


Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to
be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state, federal or provincial law relating to fraudulent
conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is
permissible under applicable law (whether federal, state or provincial and including the Bankruptcy Code).


 






    	 	87	 



     


    

10.2         
Bankruptcy.


 


Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally
and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally the payment of any and all Credit Party Obligations to the Lenders, any Cash Management
Bank and any Hedging Agreement Provider whether or not due or payable by the Parent Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the
events specified in Section 7.1(g), and unconditionally promises to pay such Credit Party Obligations to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders, to any such Cash Management Bank and to any such Hedging Agreement Provider, or order, on
demand, in lawful money of the United States upon any such occurrence. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that to the extent
that the Parent Borrower or a Guarantor shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, any Cash Management Bank or any Hedging Agreement Provider, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to the
Parent Borrower or a Guarantor, the estate of the Parent Borrower or a Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any other party under
any bankruptcy law, state, provincial or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment,
the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment
had not been made.


 


10.3         
Nature of Liability.


 


The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is
exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Credit Party Obligations whether executed by any such Guarantor,
any other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any
direction as to application of payment by the Parent Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty,
undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Credit Party Obligations, or (c) any payment on
or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change
in personnel by the Parent Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Cash Management Bank
or any Hedging Agreement Provider on the Credit Party Obligations which the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Cash Management
Bank or such Hedging Agreement Provider repays the Parent Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.


 


10.4         
Independent Obligation.


 


The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or the Parent Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought
and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or the Parent Borrower and whether
or not any other Guarantor or the Parent Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.


 


10.5         
Authorization.


 


Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative
Agent, each Lender, each Cash Management Bank and each Hedging Agreement Provider, without notice or demand (except as shall be
required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to
time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the
terms of the Credit Party Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement, any Guaranteed Cash Management Agreement
and any Guaranteed Hedging Agreement, as applicable, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take
and hold security from any Guarantor or any other party for the payment of the Guaranty under this Article X or the Credit Party
Obligations and exchange, enforce waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of
sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute any one
or more endorsers, Guarantors, the Parent Borrower or other obligors.


 






    	 	88	 



     


    

10.6         
Reliance.


 


It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders, any Cash Management Bank or any Hedging Agreement Provider to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Parent Borrower
or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Credit Party Obligations
made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.


 


10.7         
Waiver.


 


(a)               
Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require
the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Cash Management Bank or any Hedging Agreement Provider to (i) proceed against the Parent
Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Parent Borrower, any
other guarantor or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s, any
Cash Management Bank’s or any Hedging Agreement Provider’s power whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense
based on or arising out of any defense of the Parent Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full
of the Credit Party Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations), including any defense based on or arising out of
(i) the disability of the Parent Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party, (ii) the unenforceability of the Credit Party
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, (iii) the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Parent Borrower other
than payment in full of the Credit Party Obligations of the Parent Borrower (other than contingent indemnity obligations), (iv)
any amendment, waiver or modification of the Credit Party Obligations, (v) any substitution, release, exchange or impairment of
any security for any of the Credit Party Obligations, (vi) any change in the corporate existence or structure of a Borrower or
any other Guarantor, (vii) any claims or rights of set off that such Guarantor may have, and/or (viii) any Requirement of Law or
order of any Governmental Authority affecting any term of the Credit Party Obligations. The Administrative Agent may, at its election,
foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales (to the extent such sale
is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent or
Lender may have against the Parent Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the
liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Credit Party Obligations of the Parent Borrower have been paid in
full and the Commitments have been terminated. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by any
of the Administrative Agent or Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or
subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against the Parent Borrower or any other party or any security.


 


(b)              
Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of nonperformance,
notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of the Guaranty under this Article X, and notices of the existence,
creation or incurring of new or additional Credit Party Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping
itself informed of the Parent Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the
risk of nonpayment of the Credit Party Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and
incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor
of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.


 






    	 	89	 



     


    

(c)               
Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have
as a result of the Guaranty under this Article X (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise)
to the claims of the Lenders, any Cash Management Bank or any Hedging Agreement Provider (collectively, the “Other Parties”)
against the Parent Borrower or any other guarantor of the Credit Party Obligations owing to the Lenders, such Cash Management Bank
or such Hedging Agreement Provider and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity
from any Other Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the Guaranty under this Article X until such time as
the Credit Party Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated. Each of the Guarantors hereby
further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Cash Management
Bank or any Hedging Agreement Provider now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor
of all or any part of the Credit Party Obligations and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral
given to or for the benefit of the Lenders, the Cash Management Banks and/or the Hedging Agreement Providers to secure payment
of the Credit Party Obligations until such time as the Credit Party Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall
have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated.


 


10.8         
Limitation on Enforcement.


 


The Lenders, the Cash Management Bank and the
Hedging Agreement Providers agree that the Guaranty under this Article X may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative
Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no Lender, Cash Management Bank or Hedging Agreement Provider
shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce the Guaranty under this Article X, it being understood and agreed
that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the terms of this
Credit Agreement. The Lenders, the Cash Management Banks and the Hedging Agreement Providers further agree that the Guaranty under
this Article X may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Guarantors.


 


10.9         
Confirmation of Payment.


 


The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will,
upon request after payment of the Credit Party Obligations which are the subject of the Guaranty under this Article X and termination
of the Commitments relating thereto, confirm to the Parent Borrower, the Guarantors or any other Person that such Credit Party
Obligations have been paid and the Commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2.


 


10.10     
Keepwell.


 


Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly
and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from
time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under the Guaranty under this Article X in respect of Swap
Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.10 for the
maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.10,
or otherwise under the Guaranty under this Article X, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full
force and effect until the termination of this Agreement or the release of such Guarantor in accordance with Section 8.11.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.10 constitute, and this Section 10.10 shall be deemed to
constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of
Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
