the total outstanding principal amount of the Loans at any time exceeds the Aggregate Commitment Amount then in effect, the Borrower
shall immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.


 


(c)Each payment pursuant to this ‎Section
2.5 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid and any additional amounts required to be paid
pursuant to Section 2.15.


 


Section 2.6Interest Rates and Interest
Payment Dates.


 


(a)Except as set forth in clause ‎(b)
below or in ‎Section 2.9 or ‎2.11,
each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof, for the period from (and including) the day such Loan is
made to, but excluding, the day such Loan is paid at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate determined for the Interest
Period then in effect, plus the Applicable Margin. Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest on each Loan shall be payable
(i) in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, (ii) on the date of any prepayment (on the amount prepaid) and (iii) at maturity
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.


 


(b)During the continuance of any Event
of Default, (i) all principal of any Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum
equal to the rate that is 2% in excess of the interest rate then applicable to the Loan, and at any time following the termination
of the Interest Period then in effect such rate shall be equal to 2% plus the Base Rate plus 1.50% determined from
time to time and (ii) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any overdue interest or other amounts owing hereunder shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the Base Rate plus
1.50% determined from time to time. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall
be due and payable upon demand.


 


(c)All computations of interest for Loans
determined by reference to the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.


 




    20


     

    

(d)Each determination by the Lender of
an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Lender shall, at
the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Lender in determining the LIBO
Rate or the Base Rate, as applicable.


 


Section 2.7Commitment Fee. The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with December 31,
2015, and on the Commitment Termination Date, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), at a rate of 0.75% per
annum on the average daily amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitment of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended on
such day. The phrase “unutilized portion of the Commitment” as used in the preceding sentence means, as of any day,
the positive difference between (a) the amount of the Commitment, and (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans. The Commitment
Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to the Lender
shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date, shall be payable in arrears and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the Commitment
shall be terminated or terminates as provided herein.


 


Section 2.8Note.


 


(a)The obligation of Borrower to repay
the aggregate principal balance of all Loans hereunder outstanding at any one time shall be evidenced by a note governed by the
laws of the State of New York executed by the Borrower, as issuer, payable to the order of the Lender, substantially in the form
of Exhibit B, as such Note may be modified or amended from time to time.


 


(b)The payment of any part of the principal
of the Note shall discharge the obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement to pay principal of the Loans evidenced by the
Note pro tanto, and the payment of any principal of a Loan in accordance with the terms hereof shall discharge the obligations
of the Borrower under the Note pro tanto.


 


(c)In the event of any inconsistency
between this Agreement and the Note with respect to the calculation of interest or any other amount due hereunder, this Agreement
shall prevail.


 


Section 2.9Inability to Determine
Interest Rate. If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period, the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period
or that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lender of making or maintaining
the Loans for such Interest Period, then the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower by telephone or telecopy as practicable
thereafter and each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such
Interest Period and each subsequent Interest Period until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to
such notice no longer exist.


 


Section 2.10Payments Generally.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Lender, at the Lender’s
office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date


 




    21


     

    

specified herein. If any payment
to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business
Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.


 


Section 2.11Illegality. If any
Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction has asserted that it is unlawful, for
the Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund the Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based
upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to purchase
or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower,
(i) any obligation of the Lender to make or continue Loans at the LIBO Rate shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts
the illegality of the Lender making or maintaining Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate
component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which the Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by
the Lender without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until the Lender notifies the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) all Loans shall commence
to bear interest at the Base Rate (which shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Lender without reference
to the LIBO Rate component of the Base Rate) plus 1.50%, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if the
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the Loans bearing interest at the LIBO Rate to such day, or immediately, if the Lender
may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans bearing interest at the LIBO Rate and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality
of the Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, the Lender shall, during the period of such suspension,
compute the Base Rate without reference to the LIBO Rate component thereof until the Borrower is advised in writing by the Lender
that it is no longer illegal for the Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate. Upon any such conversion
of Loans from bearing interest at the LIBO Rate to the Base Rate, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender all accrued and unpaid interest
on the amount so converted.


 


Section 2.12Taxes.


 


(a)Any and all payments by or on account
of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, Applicable Law requires
the Borrower or any Guarantor to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Applicable
Law as determined by the Borrower or such Guarantor.


 


(b)If the Borrower or any Guarantor shall
be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (i) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall withhold
or make such deductions as are determined by the Borrower or such Guarantor to be required, (ii) the Borrower or such Guarantor
shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law,
and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower
or such Guarantor shall be increased by such additional amounts as necessary so that after any such required withholding or the
making of all such required deductions (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under


 




    22


     

    

this ‎Section
2.12) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.


 


(c)Without limiting the provisions of
clause ‎(a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.


 


(d)Without limiting the provisions of
clause ‎(a), ‎(b) or ‎(c)
above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby indemnify the Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof, within ten days after
written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributed
to amounts payable under this ‎Section 2.12) withheld or deducted
by the Borrower or any Guarantor or paid by the Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the
Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(e)Within 30 calendar days, upon request
by the Lender, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this ‎Section
2.12, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment or any other evidence available that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.


 


(f)Any Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower,
at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested
by the Borrower 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 Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as
will enable the Borrower 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
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.


 


(g)If the Lender determines, in its sole
discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to
this ‎Section 2.12 (including the payment of additional amounts pursuant
to this ‎Section 2.12), it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal
to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this ‎Section
2.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Lender
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund). Upon the request
of the Lender, the Borrower shall repay to the Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this ‎Section
2.12(g)‎(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
taxation


 




    23


     

    

authority) in the event that the
Lender is required to repay such refund to such taxation authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ‎Section
2.12(g)‎(f), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to the
Borrower pursuant to this ‎Section 2.12(g)‎(f)
the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the
indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed
to require the Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential)
to the Borrower.


 


Section 2.13Requirements of Law.


 


(a)In the event that any Change in Law
or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority occurring after the date hereof:


 


(i)does or shall impose,
modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities
in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of the Lender which are not otherwise included
in the determination of the LIBO Rate; or


 


(ii)does or shall impose
on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Loans;


 


and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost
to the Lender or its lending office of making or maintaining advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount received
or receivable hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise (other than an increase in cost or reduction in amount attributable
to Taxes, as to which ‎Section 2.12 shall govern),
in each case, in respect of the Loans, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay the Lender, within 30 days from demand,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such additional cost incurred or reduction suffered.


 


(b)If the Lender reasonably determines
in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement,
the Commitment or the Loans to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but
for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company
with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.


 


(c)A certificate of the Lender setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in clauses ‎(a) or ‎(b)
of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of


 




    24


     

    

this Section shall not constitute
a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not
be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this ‎Section 2.13
for any increased cost incurred more than 180 days before it notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
cost and of its intention to claim compensation therefore. However, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or
reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.


 


Section 2.14Mitigation Obligations.
If the Lender requests compensation under ‎Section 2.13, or requires
the Borrower or any Guarantor to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of the Lender pursuant to ‎Section 2.12, then the Lender
shall (at the request of the Borrower or the Guarantor) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding
or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates,
if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to ‎Section
2.12 or ‎Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the future, and
(ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender.
The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation
or assignment.


 


Section 2.15Breakage Costs. The
Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender for any Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any
certificate delivered by the Lender to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail Breakage Costs incurred within 30 days after
receipt thereof.


 


Section 2.16Survival. The provisions
of Sections ‎2.11, ‎2.12,
‎2.13 and ‎2.15
shall survive termination of the Commitment and the repayment of all Obligations hereunder.

Section 3.4Governmental Authorization;
Other Consents. No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental

    26


     

    

Section 3.6Taxes. The Borrower
and each of its Material Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all federal and state and local tax returns which are required

process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower or any of
its Material Subsidiaries infringes upon any rights held by any other Person, except for any such infringement which, either individually

such Loan


 




    27

applicable Sanctions, and the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of the
Borrower, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents

Basis) for the period of four (4) fiscal quarters ended on March 31, 2015 represents at least 80% of Consolidated EBITDA of the

GUARANTY


 


Section 8.1Guaranty.


 


(a)For good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, as primary obligor
and not merely as surety, unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration
or otherwise) of the payment Obligations (howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due) under the Loan Documents. Upon the failure by the Borrower to pay punctually
any of its Obligations, the Guarantors (jointly and severally) shall immediately pay the amount not so paid. The obligations of
the Guarantors under this Article shall constitute a guaranty of payment and not merely a guaranty of collection.


 


(b)All payments by any Guarantor under
this Article shall be payable in the manner required for payments by the Borrower under ‎Section
2.12 and (ii) the obligation to pay interest at the rates set forth in ‎Section
2.6(b).


 


Section 8.2Guaranty Unconditional.
The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by any reason, including: any extension, renewal, settlement,
compromise, waiver or release in respect of any Obligation(s) and/or the Commitment under the Loan Documents, by operation of law
or otherwise,


 


(b)any modification or amendment of or
supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document,


 


(c)any change in the existence, structure
or ownership of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, or any event described in ‎Section
7.1(f) with respect to any Person,


 


(d)the existence of any claim, set-off
or other rights that a Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, any other Loan Party, the Lender or any other Person,
whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions,


 


(e)any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability
relating to or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party for any reason of any Loan Document, or any provision of Applicable
Law purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Obligations, or


 


(f)any other act or omission to act or
delay of any kind by the Borrower and/or any other Loan Party, the Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever
that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable


 




    43


     

    

discharge of (or defense against) the Obligations
and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Article other than prior payment of the Obligations.


 


Section 8.3Discharge only upon Payment
in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect until all of the payment Obligations shall have been paid in full and all of the Commitments shall have terminated. If at
any time any payment made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Loan Party or any other Person or otherwise, then the Guarantors’
obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not
made at such time and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute of limitations or prescriptive term affecting
the Guarantor’s liability in respect thereof.


 


Section 8.4Waivers by the Guarantors.


 


(a)Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (i) notice of acceptance of the Guaranty provided
in this Article and notice of any liability to which this Guaranty may apply, (ii) all notices that may be required by Applicable
Law or otherwise to preserve intact any rights of the Lender against the Borrower and/or any other Guarantor, including any demand,
presentment, protest, proof of notice of non-payment, notice of any failure on the part of the Borrower and/or any other Guarantor
to perform and comply with any covenant, agreement, term, condition or provision of any agreement and any other notice to any other
party that may be liable in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby (including the Borrower, any other Guarantor and any other
guarantor thereof from time to time) except any of the foregoing as may be expressly required hereunder, (iii) any right to proceed
against the Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of the
Lender whatsoever and (iv) any requirement that the Lender exhaust any right, power, privilege or remedy, or mitigate any damages
resulting from a default, under any Loan Document, or proceed to take any action against a Loan Party or any other Person under
or in respect of any Loan Document or otherwise, or protect, secure, perfect or ensure any Lien on any collateral.


 


(b)If, and to the extent that, Brazilian
law shall be deemed to apply to any or all of any Brazilian Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, for those purposes:


 


(i)each Brazilian Guarantor
agrees that its obligations to make payment hereunder shall be deemed to be a first demand obligation (garantia exigível
à primeira demanda) to fulfill and comply with, as a joint and several responsibility (responsabilidade solidária),
all of the outstanding obligations assumed by the Borrower under the Agreement, in the capacity of a “FIADOR E PRINCIPAL
PAGADOR, solidariamente responsável” with the Borrower, in connection therewith. In addition, for such purposes,
each Brazilian Guarantor hereby expressly (A) waives and renounces the benefit of order (benefício de ordem) of demanding
and rights provided by the Brazilian Civil Code (Law 10,406/02), specifically in accordance with Articles 827 et seq. of the Brazilian
Civil Code and (ii) recognizes that this Guaranty shall not be considered as a


 




    44


     

    

limited instrument of guarantee,
for the purposes of Article 822 of the Brazilian Civil Code; and


 


(ii)each Brazilian Guarantor
expressly waives the benefits set forth in Articles 364, 366, 821, 827, 830, 831, 834, 835, 836, 837, 838 and 839 of the Brazilian
Civil Code and Article 595 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure.


 


(c)Each Mexican Guarantor hereby waives,
to the extent applicable, any rights to the benefits of orden, excusión, división, quita
and espera arising from Articles 2814, 2815, 2817, 2818, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2826, 2837, 2839, 2840, 2845, 2846,
2847 and any other related or applicable Articles that are not explicitly set forth herein because of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s
knowledge thereof, of the Código Civil Federal of Mexico and the Código Civil of each State of the
Mexican Republic and for the Federal District of Mexico.


 


Section 8.5Subrogation. Upon
a Guarantor’s making payment with respect to any obligation under this Article, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the
rights of the payee against the Borrower (or the other obligor) with respect to such obligation; provided, that such Guarantor
shall not enforce any payment by way of subrogation, indemnity or otherwise, or exercise any other right, against the Borrower
(or such other obligor) so long as any Obligations (other than on-going but not yet incurred indemnity obligations) remain unpaid
and/or the Commitment remains outstanding.


 


Section 8.6Stay of Acceleration.
If acceleration of the time for payment of any Obligations is stayed due to any event described in ‎Section
7.1(f), then all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors
hereunder.


 


Article

MISCELLANEOUS


 


Section 9.1Right of Set-Off.
Without limiting any of the obligations of any Loan Party or the rights of the Lender hereunder, if any Loan Party shall fail to
pay when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), by the expiration of the grace period provided by ‎Section
7.1(a) (if any), any amount payable by it hereunder, then (to the extent not in violation of applicable law) the Lender may, without
prior notice to any Loan Party (which notice is expressly waived by it to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), set
off and apply against such amount any and all general deposits (time or demand, provisional or final, in any currency, matured
or unmatured) at any time held or any other debt owing by the Lender or any of its Affiliates (in each case, including any branch
or agency thereof) to or for the credit or account of any Loan Party. The Lender shall promptly provide notice of any such set-off
by it to the Borrower; provided, that failure by the Lender to provide such notice shall not give any Loan Party any cause
of action or right to damages or affect the validity of such set-off and application.

authorized officer of the Lender and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and any such amendment, waiver
or consent shall then be effective only for the period and on the conditions and for the specific instance specified in such writing.
No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other rights,
power or privilege. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.


 


Section 9.4Notices.


 


(a)Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, notices and other communications to each party provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or

of a telephone call to the intended recipient at the number specified in writing by such Person for such purpose, it being understood
and agreed that a voicemail message shall in no event be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder.


 


(b)The Lender shall be entitled to rely
and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices of borrowings and continuations) purportedly given by or on behalf of a
Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed
by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation
thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnitee from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance
by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party. All telephonic notices to and other communications

Section 9.5Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan

    46


     

    

rights and obligations hereunder
to any other Person, with the Borrower’s prior written consent, (it being understood that the Lender shall not be entitled
to the benefits of ‎Section 2.12 after the effective date of the assignment except
to the extent that the Lender’s rights under ‎Section 2.12 arise from facts
and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of the assignment which consent shall be deemed granted if the Borrower
fails to respond to a written request for its consent within three (3) Business Days (provided that such consent (x) shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (y) shall not be required with respect to (A) any assignment to an Affiliate of the
Lender, or (B) any assignment made following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default) and, provided
further, that if such assignment constitutes the first loan extended by such person to the Borrower under this Agreement,
the amount assigned must be at least U.S.$100,000, and (ii) grant to any other Person participating interests in all or any part
of its rights and obligations hereunder in the case of this clause ‎(ii) without
notice to, or consent of, the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided, that any such assignment or granting of participation
interests shall only be permitted if such other Person is a Non-Public Lender. Upon the sale by the Lender of a participation to
any third party, (1) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) the Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the Loan Parties for the performance of such obligations and (3) the Loan Parties shall continue to deal solely
and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any agreement
or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement without obtaining

the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that shall (a) extend the Commitment Termination

fees or other amounts due to the Lender hereunder, (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any

documents reasonably requested by the Lender in connection with any such assignment. All information provided by or on behalf of
any Loan Party to the Lender or its Affiliates may be furnished by the Lender to its Affiliates and to any actual or proposed assignee
or participant, subject to ‎Section 9.16 below. In no case shall the Loan
Parties be responsible for any direct or indirect increases in costs, Taxes or other expenses caused by assignments or the grant
of participations to third parties as provided in this ‎Section 9.5
in excess of those which would have been payable had there been no assignment or participation except: (i) such assignment was
made or participation sold following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, or (ii) to the extent of
Taxes resulting from a Change in Law that occurs after the assignment or the grant of participation.

legal proceedings or


 




    47


     

    

otherwise) of this Agreement, any
Loan Document or any other instruments or agreements executed in connection herewith. The agreements in this ‎Section

hold harmless the Lender, its affiliates, and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (collectively
the “Indemnitees”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of external counsel for any Indemnitee (limited, so long as
there is no conflict of interest between or among any Indemnitees, to the fees, charges and disbursements of one external counsel
for all Indemnitees in each relevant jurisdiction)), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third
party or by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of
their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii)
the Loans or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials
on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the
Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee or (ii) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach
in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document if the Borrower or such Loan Party
has obtained a final non-appealable judgment in its favor in respect of such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable
for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended
recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages
resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable
judgment of a court of competent


 




    48


     

    

jurisdiction. The agreements in
this ‎Section 9.7 shall survive the termination of the Commitment
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations and liabilities of the Borrower under the Loan Documents.
All amounts due under this ‎Section 9.7 shall be payable within ten
(10) days after demand therefor.


 


Section 9.8Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity
and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired
thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions
with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.


 


Section 9.9Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and each counterpart, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but
all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
