TERM LOAN CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of October 18,
2021, among KYNDRYL HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES
CORPORATION (“IBM Corp.”), the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties to this Agreement
(the “Lenders”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder (in such capacity, the
 “Administrative Agent”), BANCO SANTANDER, S.A., NEW YORK BRANCH, MUFG BANK, LTD. and THE TORONTO DOMINION BANK,
NEW YORK BRANCH, as syndication agents (in such capacity, the “Syndication Agents”), and DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK
BRANCH, MIZUHO BANK, LTD., SUMITOMO MITSUI BANKING CORPORATION, THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA and UNICREDIT BANK AG- NEW YORK BRANCH, as
documentation agents (in such capacity, the “Documentation Agents”).


 


The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


 


SECTION 1.     DEFINITIONS


 


1.1           Defined
Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:


 


“ABR”: for any day,
a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on
such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% and (c) the Eurodollar Rate that would be calculated as of
such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, as of the next preceding Business Day) in respect of a proposed Eurodollar Loan with
a one-month Interest Period plus 1.0%; provided that for the purpose of this definition, the Eurodollar Rate for any day
shall be based on the Screen Rate (or if the Screen Rate is not available for such one month Interest Period, the Interpolated Rate) at
approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. For purposes hereof: “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate of interest
per annum last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. or, if The Wall Street Journal ceases to
quote such rate, the highest per annum interest rate published by the Federal Reserve Board in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15
(519) (Selected Interest Rates) as the “bank prime loan” rate or, if such rate is no longer quoted therein, any similar rate
quoted therein (as determined by the Administrative Agent) or any similar release by the Federal Reserve Board (as determined by the Administrative
Agent). Each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective from and including the date such change is publicly announced or quoted as being
effective. If for any reason the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error)
that it is unable to ascertain the NYFRB Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain
sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms thereof, the ABR shall be determined without regard to clause (b) of the first
sentence of this definition until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the ABR due to a change
in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or such Eurodollar Rate shall be effective on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate, the
NYFRB Rate or such Eurodollar Rate, respectively. If the ABR is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.14
hereof (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to ‎Section 2.14(b)), then
the ABR shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the ABR as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of
this Agreement.


 


“ABR Loans”: Loans
the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the ABR.


 


“Act”: as defined
in Section 11.23.


 






    


     


    

 


“Affected Financial Institution”:
(a) any EEA Financial Institution or (b) any UK Financial Institution.


 


“Affiliate”: as to
any Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person.
For purposes of this definition, “control” of a Person means the power, directly or indirectly, either to (a) vote 25%
or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such
Person or (b) direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether by contract or otherwise.


 


“Agreement”: this
Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.


 


“Ancillary Document”:
as defined in Section 11.15(b).


 


“Anti-Corruption Laws”:
all laws, rules and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries from time to time concerning or
relating to bribery or corruption.


 


“Applicable
Margin”: on any date, with respect to (a) any Eurodollar Loan, a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin corresponding
to the Status then in effect on such date of determination as set forth below, (b) any ABR Loan, a rate per annum equal to the applicable
margin corresponding to the Status then in effect on such date of determination as set forth below.


 


	 	 	Level I 
Status	 	 	Level II 
Status	 	 	Level III 
Status	 	 	Level IV 
Status	 	 	Level V 
Status	 
	Eurodollar Applicable Margin	 	 	0.875%	 	 	 	1.00%		 	 	1.125%	 	 	 	1.250%	 	 	 	1.500%	 
	ABR Applicable Margin	 	 	0.00%	 	 	 	0.00%		 	 	0.125%	 	 	 	0.250%	 	 	 	0.500%	 



 


“Attributable Debt”:
as of any date of determination, the present value of the obligation of a lessee for rental payments pursuant to any Sale and Leaseback
Transaction (reduced by the amount of the rental obligations of any sublessee of all or part of the same property) during the remaining
term of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (including any period for which the lease relating thereto has been extended), such rental
payments not to include amounts payable by the lessee for maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments and similar charges and
for contingent rents (such as those based on sales). In the case of any Sale and Leaseback Transaction in which the lease is terminable
by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such rental payments shall be considered for purposes of this definition to be the lesser
of (a) the rental payments to be paid under such Sale and Leaseback Transaction until the first date (after the date of such determination)
upon which it may be so terminated plus the then applicable penalty upon such termination and (b) the rental payments required to
be paid during the remaining term of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (assuming such termination provision is not exercised).


 


“Available Tenor”:
as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component
thereof) or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof), as applicable, that is or
may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period for any term rate or otherwise, for determining any frequency of making payments
of interest calculated pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark
that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (f) of Section 2.14.

the Council of the European Union, the implementing law for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In
Legislation Schedule and (b) with respect to the United Kingdom, Part I of the United Kingdom Banking Act 2009 (as amended from
time to time) and any other law, regulation or rule applicable in the United Kingdom relating to the resolution of unsound or failing
banks, investment firms or other financial institutions or their affiliates (other than through liquidation, administration or other insolvency
proceedings).


 


“Banking Day”: in
respect of any city, any day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency
deposits) in that city.


 


“Bankruptcy Event”:
with respect to any Person, such Person becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, other than via an Undisclosed Administration,
or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee, administrator, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged
with the reorganization or liquidation of its business appointed for it, or, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent,
has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any such proceeding or appointment,
provided that a Bankruptcy Event shall not result solely by virtue of any ownership interest, or the acquisition of any ownership interest,
in such Person by a Governmental Authority or instrumentality thereof, provided, further, that such ownership interest does not result
in or provide such Person with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments
or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Person (or such Governmental Authority or instrumentality) to reject, repudiate, disavow
or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made by such Person.


 


“Benchmark”: initially,
the Eurodollar Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other
Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Eurodollar Rate or
the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark
Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (b) or clause (c) of Section 2.14.


 


“Benchmark Replacement”:
for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the
applicable Benchmark Replacement Date; provided that, in the case of an Other Benchmark Rate Election, “Benchmark Replacement”
shall mean the alternative set forth in (3) below:

(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate
benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for
the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate
or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention
for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at
such time in the United States and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;


 


provided
that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service
that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided further that,
in the case of clause (3), when such clause is used to determine the Benchmark Replacement in connection with the occurrence of an Other
Benchmark Rate Election, the alternate benchmark rate selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be the term benchmark
rate that is used in lieu of a LIBOR-based rate in the relevant other Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities; provided further
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition
Event, and the delivery of a Term SOFR Notice,  on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date the “Benchmark Replacement”
shall revert to and shall be deemed to be the sum of (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, as
set forth in clause (1) of this definition (subject to the first proviso above).


 


If the Benchmark Replacement as determined
pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor
for the purposes of this Agreement.


 


“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”:
with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period
and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:


 


(1) for purposes of clauses (1) and
(2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined
by the Administrative Agent:


 


(a) the spread adjustment, or method
for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such
Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for
the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;


 


(b) the spread adjustment (which
may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period
that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation
event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and


 


(2) for purposes of clause (3) of
the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment,
(which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable
Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating
or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the
Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention
for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark
with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time;


 






    - 4 -


     


    

 


provided that, in the case of clause
(1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment
from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.


 


“Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes”: with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes
to the definition of “ABR,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,”
timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation
notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters)
that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and
to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the
Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative
Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration
as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).


 


“Benchmark Replacement Date”:
the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:


 


(1) in the case of clause (1) or
(2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication
of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used
in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);


 


(2) in the case of clause (3) of
the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in
the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such
component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most
recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component
thereof) continues to be provided on such date;


 


(3) in the case of a Term SOFR Transition
Event, the date that is thirty (30) days after the date a Term SOFR Notice is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(c);
or


 


(4) in the case of an Early Opt-in
Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark
Rate Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable is
provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, from
Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.


 






    - 5 -


     


    

 


For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if
the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of
any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and
(ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with
respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available
Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).


 


“Benchmark Transition Event”:
the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:


 


(1) a public statement or publication
of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing
that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently
or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to
provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);


 


(2) a public statement or publication
of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation
thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or
such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or
an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states
that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark
(or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor
administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or


 


(3) a public statement or publication
of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation
thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative.


 


For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark
Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information
set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the
calculation thereof).


 


“Benchmark Unavailability Period”:
the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that
definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder
in accordance with Section 2.14 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark

1.3           Interest
Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars or Euros may be derived from an interest rate benchmark
that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark
reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable
laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank
offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London
interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that, immediately
after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, all seven Swiss Franc LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week,
2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and
the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight
and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month
Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject
to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of
the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately
after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s
consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality
they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will
not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition,
or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult
its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify
new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition
Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, ‎Section 2.14(b) and (c) provide a mechanism for
determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.14(e),
of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does
not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any
other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or with respect
to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, any such alternative, successor
or replacement rate implemented pursuant to ‎Section 2.14(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition
Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and the implementation of any Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to ‎Section 2.14(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics
of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence
of, the Eurodollar Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

SECTION 2.         AMOUNT
AND TERMS OF TERM FACILITIES


 


2.1            Commitments.
(a)  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make loans in Dollars (“Loans”)
to the Borrower on the Funding Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Term Commitment.
Amounts repaid or prepaid under this Agreement may not be reborrowed.


 


(b)            The
Loans may from time to time be (i) Eurodollar Loans, (ii) ABR Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the
Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3.


 


2.2            Procedure
for Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent prior to (a) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part
of the requested Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Loans or (b) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date
if the requested Loans are to be initially ABR Loans, specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing
Date, (iii) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof and (iv) if the borrowing
is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest
Periods therefor. Each borrowing of Loans shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000
in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
aggregate amount of such borrowing and of the amount of such Lender’s Loans. Each Lender will make the amount of its Loans available
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2
prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative
Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on
the books of such office 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.


 


2.3            Conversion
and Continuation Options for Loans. (a)  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans,
by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided that if any
such conversion of Eurodollar Loans is made other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall
pay any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19 as a result of such conversion. The Borrower may elect from time to
time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable
notice of such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or
Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or
any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided that (i) no Loan may be converted
into a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that such a conversion is not appropriate, (ii) any such conversion may
only be made if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.4 shall not have been contravened and (iii) no Loan may be converted
into a Eurodollar Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Termination Date.


 


(b)            Any
Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower
giving at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable
to such Loans; provided that, except as set forth in clause (y) of the further proviso below in this paragraph, no Eurodollar
Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent
or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion that such a continuation is not appropriate, (ii) if, after
giving effect thereto, Section 2.4 would be contravened or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Termination
Date and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this Section 2.3
or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurodollar Loans shall automatically be converted to
ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.

Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. All borrowings, optional prepayments, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar
Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that,

be equal to $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) there shall be no more than 20 Eurodollar Tranches
outstanding at any one time.

to compliance with the terms of Sections 2.4 and 2.19), in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least one Business Day’s
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar
Loans (including the Eurodollar Tranche(s) to which such prepayment is to be applied), ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and,
if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein, together with (except in the case of ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of
Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the
remaining outstanding principal amount thereof.


 


2.7            Mandatory

Agreement.

of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a)  The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the relevant Lenders on the Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 2.6,
Section 2.7 or Section 8), the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to it by each such Lender. The Borrower hereby further
agrees to pay interest in immediately available funds at the office of the Administrative Agent on the unpaid principal amount of the
Loans from time to time from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.10.


 


(b)            Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the
appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c)            The
Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.9(a), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register
and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the
Interest Period or maturity date (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.


 


(d)            The
entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.9 shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein
recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such
Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
(with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


2.10         Interest
Rates and Payment Dates. (a)  Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect
thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. Interest in
respect of Eurodollar Loans shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such
Interest Period.


 


(b)            Each
ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.


 


(c)            If
all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any commitment fee
or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue
amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is in the case of overdue principal (except as otherwise provided in clause (y) below),
the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 plus 2%, in
each case from the date of such non-payment to (but excluding) the date on which such amount is paid in full (as well after as before
judgment).


 


(d)            Interest
shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.10(c) shall
be payable from time to time on demand.


 


2.11          Fees.
(a)  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee for each day from and
including the date that is 30 days following the Effective Date to but not including the Commitment Termination Date. Commitment fee
amounts accrued through and including the last day of each March, June, September and December shall be due and payable on
the 15th Business Day following such last day and on the Commitment Termination Date and shall be computed for each day during such period
at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the aggregate amount of the Term Commitments in effect
on such day.


 


(b)            The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in
writing by the Borrower.


 


2.12          Computation
of Interest and Fees. (a)  Commitment fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest
computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days. Interest computed by reference
to ABR at times when ABR is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year).
In each case interest shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All
interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the
applicable date of determination.

(b)            Each
determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding
on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.


 


2.13          Termination
or Reduction of Term Commitments. Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than
three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Term Commitments or, from time to time, to
reduce the amount of the Term Commitments; provided that a notice of termination of the Term Commitments delivered by the Borrower
may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of any stated event, including the effectiveness of other credit facilities,
in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified termination
date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000
in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Term Commitments then in effect. To the extent not previously terminated pursuant
to this Section 2.13, all unused Term Commitments hereunder shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date after giving effect
to any borrowing of the Loans on the Commitment Termination Date.


 


2.14          Inability
to Determine Interest Rate. (a)  Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.14, if
prior to the first day of any Interest Period:


 


(i)            the
Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate (including because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current
basis), for such currency and Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time, or


 


(ii)           the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for
such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making
or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,


 


then
the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly
as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest
Period shall be made as ABR Loans and (y) any Loans that, on the first day of such Interest Period, were to have been converted
to or continued as Eurodollar Loans, shall be continued as or converted to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative
Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to
Eurodollar Loans. Furthermore, if any Eurodollar Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice
from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.14(a) with respect to the Eurodollar Rate, then until the Administrative
Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, then on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such
Eurodollar Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan on such day.

(b)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable,
and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark,
then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark
Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder
in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any
other party to, this Agreement and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition
of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for
all purposes hereunder in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business
Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent
of any other party to, this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection
to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.


 


(c)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable
Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent
Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement; provided that,
this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR
Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition
Event and may do so in its sole discretion.


 


(d)            In
connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendments implementing such Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.


 


(e)            The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, an
Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation
of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or
reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender
(or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.14, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or
of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any
selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from
any other party to this Agreement, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.


 


(f)             Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if
the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or Eurodollar Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is
not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent
in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement
or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative
Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable
or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently
displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer,
subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the
Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate
such previously removed tenor.


 






    - 29 -


     


    

 


(g)            Upon
the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request
for a Eurodollar Loan, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability
Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion
to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available
Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in
any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Eurodollar Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of
the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Eurodollar Rate, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement
for such Eurodollar Loan is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.14, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such
Eurodollar Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Eurodollar Loan shall be converted by the
Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan on such day.


 


2.15          Pro
Rata Treatment and Payments. (a)  Each reduction of the Term Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to
the Lenders’ respective Commitment Percentages. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal
of and interest on Loans which are ABR Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such
ABR Loans then held by the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest
on Eurodollar Loans designated by the Borrower to be applied to a particular Eurodollar Tranche shall be made pro rata according to the
respective outstanding principal amounts of such Eurodollar Loans of such Tranche then held by the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments)
to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim
and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in respect of payments of principal or interest relating to Loans made in
the New York Funding Office, in each case, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in Dollars.
The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment
hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar 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 (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon
shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) 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.

(b)            Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount
that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required
time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon
at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available
to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under
this Section 2.15(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is
not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent
shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand,
from the Borrower.


 


(c)            If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.15(b), 2.18(c) or 9.7, then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations
under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account
as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each
of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.


 


2.16          Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application
thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment
of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall
forthwith be cancelled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically
to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period
as required by law.


 


2.17          Requirements
of Law. (a)  If the adoption of or any Change in Law:


 


(i)            shall
subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any taxes (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes and (B) taxes described in Section 2.18(a)(i) through
(iv)) on its Loans, Term Commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;


 


(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 such Lender which is not otherwise included pursuant to Section 2.17(c) in the determination of the Eurodollar
Rate; or


 


(iii)           shall
impose on such Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;


 


and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, by an amount which such Lender or the Administrative Agent deems to be material, of making,
converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans (or any Loan in the case of (i)), or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder
in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or the Administrative Agent, upon its demand,
any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
If any Lender or the Administrative Agent becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17(a), it
shall promptly notify the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.


 






    - 31 -


     


    

 


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


 


(c)            The
Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender which requests compensation under this Section 2.17(c) (by notice to the Borrower), on
the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required
to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the Board (or, so long as such Lender
may be required by the Board or by any other United States Governmental Authority (or any other Governmental Authority with jurisdiction
over such Lender) to maintain reserves against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest
rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets
of such Lender which includes any Eurodollar Loans), an additional amount (determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower) representing
such Lender’s calculation or, if an accurate calculation is impracticable, reasonable estimate (using such reasonable means of
allocation as such Lender shall determine) of the actual costs, if any, incurred by such Lender during such Interest Period, as a result
of the applicability of the foregoing reserves to such Eurodollar Loans, which amount in any event shall not exceed the product of the
following for each day of such Interest Period:


 


(i)            the
principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender to which such Interest Period relates and outstanding on such day; and


 


(ii)           the
difference between (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Eurodollar Rate, as the case may be (expressed as a decimal) applicable
to such Eurodollar Loan and the denominator of which is one minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements
are imposed by the Board or other United States Governmental Authority (or any other Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such
Lender) on such date minus (y) such numerator; and


 


(iii)          a
fraction the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is 360.


 


Any Lender which gives notice under this Section 2.17(c) shall
promptly withdraw such notice (by written notice of withdrawal given to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) in the event such
Lender is no longer required to maintain such reserves or the circumstances giving rise to such notice shall otherwise cease to exist.


 






    - 32 -


     


    

 


(d)            A
certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 submitted by any Lender through the Administrative
Agent, to the Borrower shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for the request for compensation of such additional amounts and the
method of computation thereof and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Subject to the provisions of the next succeeding
sentence, the Borrower shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after receipt
thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant
to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the
Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The obligations contained in this Section 2.17
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 


2.18          Taxes.
(a)  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all payments made by or on account of the Borrower under this Agreement shall
be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes,
excluding (i) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and branch profits taxes imposed on the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Transferee (x) as a result of such Administrative Agent, Lender or Transferee being organized
under the laws of, or having its principal office or, in the case of any Lender or Transferee, its applicable lending office located
in, the jurisdiction imposing such tax (or any political subdivision thereof) or (y) that are Other Connection Taxes, (ii) U.S.
Federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of a Lender or Transferee with respect to an applicable interest
in a Loan or Term Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (x) such Lender or Transferee acquires such interest
in the Loan or Term Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 11.11) or (y) such
Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.18, amounts with respect to
such taxes were payable either to such Lender’s (or Transferee’s) assignor immediately before such Lender or Transferee acquired
the applicable interest in a Loan or Term Commitment or to such Lender or Transferee immediately before it changed its lending office,
(iii) any taxes attributable to a Lender’s or Transferee’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 2.18(d),
and (iv) any withholding taxes imposed under FATCA. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions
or withholdings imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement
(“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
(or Transferee) hereunder, the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law and the amounts so payable by the Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable
hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as
promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender
(or Transferee), as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower from the
Governmental Authority showing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee). If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due
to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or Transferees) for any incremental taxes, interest
or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) as a result of any such failure. The obligations
contained in this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.


 






    - 33 -


     


    

 


(b)            The
Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative
Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted
from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as
to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(c)            Each
Lender shall severally, within 10 days after demand therefor, indemnify (i) the Administrative Agent for (A) any taxes attributable
to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes
and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and (B) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply
with the provisions of Section 11.6 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (ii) the Borrower for any taxes
described in Section 2.18(a)(i) through (iv) and attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by
the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (as applicable) in connection with this Agreement, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable,
to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, under this paragraph
(c).


 


(d)            Any
Lender or Transferee that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax with respect to payments made under this
Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender or Transferee,
if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or not such Lender or Transferee 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 IRS Form W-9
and such documentation set forth in Section 2.18(d)(i) and Section 2.18(d)(iv) below) shall not be required if in
the Lender’s or the Transferee’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or
Transferee to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender
or Transferee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, in the event that the Borrower is a
U.S. Person, any Lender or Transferee that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower that is a U.S. Person and the Administrative

(a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall:


 






    - 34 -


     


    

 


(i)            on
the date it becomes a Lender or Transferee, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly
executed originals of either (w) in the case of Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or
881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
or W-8BEN-E (together with a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 through F-4, as applicable, representing that
such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a 10 percent shareholder (within
the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code) (a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”)), (x) Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, (y) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example,
where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor
forms) of the Non-U.S. Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9,
Form W-8IMY or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial
owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Non-U.S. Lender
on behalf of such beneficial owner), or (z) 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, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments
to such Lender, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced
rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement;


 


(ii)           deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly executed originals of any such form or certification on
or before the date that any such form or certification described above expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and


 


(iii)          obtain
such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent;


 


except that the forms and certificates described above shall not be
required if any change in Requirement of Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which
renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender (or Transferee) from duly completing and delivering any such form
with respect to it and such Lender (or Transferee) so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.


 


(iv)          In
addition, if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such
Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed
by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with
their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include
any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(e)            Each
Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 11.6, or a Lender pursuant to Section 11.8, including for this purpose
a Lender that arranges a Loan through or transfers a Loan to a different branch of such Lender, shall, upon the effectiveness of the
related designation or transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 2.18,
provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which
the related participation shall have been purchased.


 


(f)             If
any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received
a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall promptly
notify the Borrower of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of such refund, repay the amount of such refund to the Borrower
(to the extent of amounts that have been paid by the Borrower under this Section 2.18 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes giving
rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent and without
interest (other than interest actually received from the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund); provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent,
agrees to return the amount of such refund (plus interest) to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent in the event such
Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent is required to repay the amount of such refund to the relevant taxing authority or
other Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will any Lender (or Transferee)
or the Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would
place the Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Lender (or Transferee)
or the Administrative Agent would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never
been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Person.


 


2.19          Indemnity.
The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain
or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or in the conversion into Eurodollar
Loans or continuation of Eurodollar Loans, after the Borrower has given a notice requesting or accepting the same in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not
the last day of an Interest Period, with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
(i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued or converted
from a Eurdollar Loan to an ABR Loan, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue
or convert from a Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan to the last day of the relevant Interest Period (or proposed Interest Period), in each
case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin) over (ii) the
amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount
on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. The obligations contained in this Section 2.19
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.


 






    - 36 -


     


    

 


2.20          Change
of Lending Office. Each Lender (or Transferee) agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.16,
2.17 or 2.18 with respect to such Lender (or Transferee), it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall
policy considerations of such Lender (or Transferee)) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the
object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such
Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided,
further, that nothing in this Section 2.20 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any
Lender (or Transferee) pursuant to Section 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18.


 


2.21          [Reserved].


 


2.22          Defaulting
Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following
provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:


 


(a)            fees
shall cease to accrue on the Term Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);


 


(b)            any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to ‎Section 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from
a Defaulting Lender pursuant to ‎Section 11.12 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 Borrower 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 Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro
rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement;
fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by 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 the Borrower as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) 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 (y) such Loans were made at a time when
the conditions set forth in ‎Section 5.2 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 until such
time as all Loans and funded pro rata in accordance with the Term Commitments. 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by
such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;


 






    - 37 -


     


    

 


(c)            the
Loans and Term Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or
may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.1); provided,
that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification
requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby.


 


(d)            In
the event that each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters
that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other
Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its
Commitment Percentage.

4.4            Governmental
Approvals. No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority is
or will be required in connection with the Transactions, except (a) such as have been made or obtained and are in full force and

in a Material Adverse Effect and (b) such periodic and current reports, if any, as (i) are required to disclose the Transactions
and (ii) will be filed with the SEC on a timely basis.


 


4.5            Financial
Statements. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its (a) unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements

material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates
and for the periods referred to therein and were prepared in conformity with GAAP.


 


4.6            No

of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties,

Stock. In the event any portion of the Loans made to the Borrower constitutes a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation
U and the Loans are directly or indirectly secured by any Margin Stock pursuant to the operation of Section 7.1, then, at the time
of any borrowing which increases the outstanding amount of Loans, the aggregate “maximum loan value” (within the meaning
of Regulation U) of all Margin Stock and all collateral other than Margin Stock which directly or indirectly secures the Loans will be
greater than the aggregate principal amount of Loans and other extensions of credit to the Borrower (whether made by the Lenders or other
Persons) which are subject to Regulation T, U or X and which are directly or indirectly secured by such Margin Stock or other collateral.

required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments

The Borrower agrees that, from the Funding Date and
for so long thereafter as the Commitments remain in effect, any Loan remains outstanding and unpaid or any other amount is owing to any
Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder:


 


7.1            Limitation
on Secured Debt. The Borrower will not create, assume, incur or guarantee, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to create, assume,
incur or guarantee, any Secured Debt, in each case, unless prior to or at the same time, the Borrower Obligations are equally and ratably
secured with (or, at the Borrower’s option, senior to) such Secured Debt until such time as such Secured Debt is no longer secured
by such Lien. The foregoing restriction does not apply to Secured Debt that is secured by:


 


(1)            Liens
on property or assets of or securing Indebtedness of any Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary (including by way
of merger or consolidation with the Borrower or any Subsidiary), provided that (i) such Lien was not incurred in anticipation
of such Person becoming a Subsidiary,(ii) such Lien shall not apply to any other property or Indebtedness of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary other than additions, accessions, parts, attachments or improvements thereon or proceeds thereof and (iii) such Lien shall

that the lease terminates prior to or upon such acquisition) or Liens on property or assets to secure the payment of all or any part of
the purchase price of such property or assets, or Liens on property or assets to secure any Indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time
of, or within 12 months after, the latest of the acquisition of such property or assets or the completion of construction, the completion
of improvements or the commencement of substantial commercial operation of such property or assets for the purpose of financing all or
any part of the purchase price of the property or assets and related costs and expenses, or such construction or the making of such improvements;
provided that (i) the Indebtedness secured by such Liens shall not exceed 100% of the cost of acquiring, constructing or improving
such property or assets and (ii) such security interests shall not apply to any other property or assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
other than additions, accessions, parts, attachments or improvements thereon or proceeds thereof, subject in the case of clause (i),
to extensions, renewals or replacements in accordance with clause (14) below;


 


(3)            Liens
securing Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary owing to the Borrower or any Subsidiary;


 


(4)            Liens
existing on the Funding Date;

and other similar laws, arising in the ordinary course of business, in each case for sums not yet overdue by more than 60 calendar days
or being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or other Liens arising out of judgments or awards against such Person with
respect to which such Person shall then be proceeding with an appeal or other proceedings for review and Liens arising solely by virtue
of any statutory or common law provision relating to banker’s Liens, rights of set-off or similar rights and remedies as to deposit
accounts or other funds maintained with a creditor depository institution;


 


(8)            Liens
for taxes, assessments or other governmental charges or levies on property not yet due or payable or subject to penalties for non-payment
or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings;


 


(9)            Liens

Indebtedness secured by such Lien (except to the extent of any fees or other costs associated with any such extension, renewal or replacement);
provided, however, that any Liens permitted by any of clauses (1) through (13) shall not extend to or cover any of the property
or the property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, other than the property specified in such clauses and improvements
to such property.


 


Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in the
preceding paragraph, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to incur Secured Debt which would otherwise be subject to the
foregoing restrictions without equally and ratably securing the Borrower Obligations, provided that, after giving effect to such
Secured Debt, the aggregate amount of all Secured Debt (not including Secured Debt secured by Liens permitted under clauses (1) through
(14) above), together with all Attributable Debt outstanding pursuant to the final paragraph of Section 7.2 below and all Indebtedness
of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries outstanding pursuant to the final paragraph of Section 7.4, does not exceed 15.0% of Consolidated Total
Assets calculated on a pro forma basis as of the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien securing such Secured Debt. The
Borrower and its Subsidiaries may also, without equally and ratably securing Borrower Obligations, incur Secured Debt or create or incur
Liens thereon that renew, substitute or replace (including successive renewals, substitutions or replacements), in whole or in part, any
Secured Debt or Lien permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Leaseback Transaction, except:


 


(1)            if
such transaction was entered into prior to the Funding Date;


 


(2)            if
such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any property by a Subsidiary;


 


(3)            if
the Borrower or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction
without equally and ratably securing the Borrower Obligations pursuant to Section 7.1;


 


(4)            if
the Borrower or such Subsidiary applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of such property to the purchase of other property
or assets used or useful in the business of the Borrower or any Subsidiaries or to the retirement of long-term Indebtedness within 12
months before or after the effective date of any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, provided that, in lieu of applying such amount
to the retirement of long-term Indebtedness, the Borrower or such Subsidiary may deliver debt securities to the applicable trustee for
cancellation, such debt securities to be credited at the cost thereof to the Borrower or such Subsidiary; or


 


(5)            to
the extent such Sale and Leaseback Transaction consists of Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary permitted under Section 7.4
(other than clause (k) thereof).


 


Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in this
Section 7.2, the Borrower and Subsidiaries may enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction which would otherwise be subject to

the Borrower is the surviving entity and (ii) on the date of consummation of any merger involving the Borrower, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower demonstrating that, on a pro forma basis
determined as if such merger had been consummated on the date occurring twelve months prior to the last day of the most recently ended
fiscal quarter, the Borrower would have been in compliance with Section 7.6 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter.


 


(b)            The
Borrower will not sell, convey or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any Person, provided

in a transaction permitted hereunder) after the Effective Date, or Indebtedness of any Person that is assumed by any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary
in connection with an acquisition of assets by such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in an acquisition not prohibited hereunder, provided

resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice

in the best interests of the Lenders.


 


9.6            Non-Reliance
on 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 representations or warranties to it and that no act
by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, 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 Borrower and made its own decision to make its Loans and enter into this 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 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 Borrower. 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 Borrower which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7            Indemnification.
The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date
on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments
shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages immediately
prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment
of the amounts owing hereunder) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that (a) no
Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (b) in
the event that the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower for any amount paid to it by the Lenders pursuant to this Section 9.7,
the amount of such reimbursement shall in turn be paid over to the Lenders on a ratable basis. The agreements in this Section 9.7
shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 


9.8            Administrative
Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each of the Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
With respect to its Loans and Commitments made or renewed by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under
this 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.


 


9.9            Successor
Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative
Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative
Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor
administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent shall have given notice of its resignation,
then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders,
which successor administrative agent shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a permitted successor, such successor
administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative
Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative
Agent’s rights, powers and duties as 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 Agreement or any holders of the obligations owing hereunder. After any
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit
as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.   GUARANTEE


 


10.1          Guarantee.
In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to execute and deliver this Agreement and to make or maintain the Loans, and
in consideration thereof, IBM Corp. hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety,
to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when
due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations, and IBM Corp. further agrees to pay any and
all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or
incurred by the Administrative Agent or by the Lenders in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any of their rights
under the guarantee contained in this Section 10. The guarantee contained in this Section 10, subject to Section 10.5 with
respect to the clause (ii) below, shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Separation
and (ii) the date that the Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time
to time prior thereto the Borrower may be free from the Borrower Obligations (the date of such release, the “Guarantee Release
Date”).


 


IBM
Corp. agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on
account of its liability under this Section 10, it will notify the Administrative Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment
is made under the guarantee contained in this Section 10 for such purpose. No payment or payments made by the Borrower or any other
Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action
or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Borrower
Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of IBM Corp. under this Section 10 which,
notwithstanding any such payment or payments, shall remain liable for the unpaid and outstanding Borrower Obligations until, subject to
Section 10.5, the Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated.


 


10.2          No
Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by IBM Corp. pursuant to this Section 10 or any set-off or application of funds
of IBM Corp. by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the guarantee contained in this Section 10, IBM Corp.
shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or any collateral
security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor
shall IBM Corp. seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower in respect of payments made by IBM Corp.
under this Section 10, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on account of the Borrower Obligations
are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to IBM Corp. on account of such subrogation rights at
any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by IBM Corp. in trust for the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of IBM Corp., and shall, forthwith upon receipt by IBM Corp., be turned
over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by IBM Corp. (duly indorsed by IBM Corp. to the Administrative Agent, if required),
to be applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.


 






    - 55 - 


     


    

 


10.3          Amendments, etc.
with respect to the Borrower Obligations. IBM Corp. shall remain obligated under this Section 10 notwithstanding that, without
any reservation of rights against IBM Corp., and without notice to or further assent by IBM Corp., any demand for payment of or reduction
in the principal amount of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other party
upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time
to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, and this Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Lenders (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable
from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent
nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower
Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 10 or any property subject thereto.


 


10.4          Guarantee
Absolute and Unconditional. . IBM Corp. waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 10
or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 10; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed
to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this
Section 10; and all dealings between IBM Corp. or the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on
the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 10.
IBM Corp. waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon IBM Corp. or the Borrower
with respect to the Borrower Obligations. To the full extent permitted by law, the guarantee contained in this Section 10 shall be
construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of
this Agreement, any of the Borrower Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto
at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) the legality under applicable Requirements of
Law of repayment by the Borrower of the Borrower Obligations or the adoption of any Requirement of Law purporting to render the Borrower
Obligations null and void, (c) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance by the Borrower)
which may at any time be available to or be asserted by IBM Corp. against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (d) any change
in ownership of the Borrower, any merger or consolidation of the Borrower into another Person or any loss of the Borrower’s separate
legal identity or existence, or (e) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of IBM Corp. or the
Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations,
or of IBM Corp. under the guarantee contained in this Section 10, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When the Administrative
Agent or any Lender is pursuing its rights and remedies under this Section 10 against IBM Corp., the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower or any other Person
or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any
such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release
of the Borrower or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve IBM Corp.
of any liability under this Section 10, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available
as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against IBM Corp.


 






    - 56 - 


     


    

 


10.5          Reinstatement.
Subject to Section 10.9, the guarantee contained in this Section 10 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored
or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the
Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the
Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.


 


10.6          Payments.
IBM Corp. hereby agrees that any payments in respect of the Borrower Obligations pursuant to this Section 10 will be paid to the
Administrative Agent without setoff or counterclaim at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2.


 


10.7          Judgments
Relating to Guarantee. (a)  If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is
necessary to convert a sum due under the guarantee contained in this Section 10 in one currency into another currency, IBM Corp.
agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the relevant Lender (or agent acting on its behalf) could purchase the first currency
with such other currency for the first currency on the Banking Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.


 


(b)          The
obligations of IBM Corp. in respect of any sum due under the guarantee contained in this Section 10 shall, notwithstanding any judgment
in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with this Section 10
(the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Banking Day following receipt by any Lender
(or agent acting on its behalf) (the “Applicable Creditor”) of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency,
the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency
with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable
Creditor in the Agreement Currency, IBM Corp. agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
the Applicable Creditor against such loss, provided, that if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the sum
originally due to the Applicable Creditor, the Applicable Creditor agrees to remit such excess to IBM Corp. The obligations of IBM Corp.
contained in this Section 10.7 shall survive the termination of the guarantee contained in this Section 10 and the payment of
all amounts owing hereunder.


 


10.8          Independent
Obligations. The obligations of IBM Corp. under the guarantee contained in this Section 10 are independent of the obligations
of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against IBM Corp. whether or not the Borrower be joined
in any such action or actions. IBM Corp. waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting
its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute
of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to IBM Corp.


 


10.9          Release
of Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, IBM Corp. shall automatically and irrevocably
be released from its obligations under the guarantee contained in this Section 10 upon the consummation of the Separation.

11.5          Payment
of Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification
to, this Agreement and any other documents prepared in connection herewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel to the Administrative
Agent, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection
with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of separate counsel
to the Administrative Agent and to each Lender, (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless
from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp,
excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery
of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or
any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement and any such other documents, and (e) to pay, indemnify, and hold each
Lender, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents (each, an “indemnified person”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements, including reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel, incurred by or asserted against such indemnified person which arise out of or in connection with any claim, litigation or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any such other documents or agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or any Loan or any actual
or proposed use of proceeds of any Loan or any of the Transactions, regardless of whether such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
is brought by the Borrower (all the foregoing in this clause (d) collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”);
provided, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any indemnified person with respect to indemnified liabilities
arising from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person, its affiliates or the directors, officers,
employees and agents of such indemnified person, acting as such, in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction or (y) a material breach by such indemnified person, its affiliates or the directors, officers, employees
and agents of such indemnified person, acting as such, of its or their obligations under this Agreement, in each case as determined by
a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and provided further, that nothing contained in this Section 11.5
(other than Section 11.5(d)) shall require the Borrower to pay any taxes of any indemnified person or any Transferee or any indemnity
with respect thereto. No indemnified person or the Borrower shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons
of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted
by such persons. No indemnified person shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with
this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this sentence shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an indemnified
person, as provided in this paragraph, against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such indemnified
person by a third party and the foregoing waivers shall be in addition to the Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this
Agreement. The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and the payment of all other amounts payable
hereunder.


 


11.6          Participations.
Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or
other entities (other than the Borrower, an Affiliate of the Borrower or a natural person) (each, a “Participant”)
participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder.
In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof,
such Lender shall remain the holder of any such obligation owing to it hereunder for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such
amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, postpone the date
of the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that, while an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared
or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of
setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating
interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant
shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 11.12 as fully as if it were
a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and
2.19 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided
that, in the case of Section 2.18, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided,
further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender
would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant
had no such transfer occurred. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of
the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest)
of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including
the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other obligations
under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation
is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register
as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

11.8          Assignments.
(a)  Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time
assign to any affiliate of such Lender or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent in each case shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and, in the case of the Borrower, shall be deemed to have been given unless the Borrower shall
object to such assignment by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof),
to any other Lender or to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity other than the Borrower, an Affiliate of the Borrower
or a natural person (each, a “Purchasing Lender”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment, participations in the Loans at the time owing to it) pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B, executed by such Purchasing Lender and such assigning Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing
Lender that is not an affiliate of the relevant assigning Lender, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative
Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, provided, that except in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such
assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than
$10,000,000 or such lesser amount as may be consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Purchasing
Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations
of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided
in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto).


 


(b)          Upon
its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and a Purchasing Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing
Lender that is not an affiliate of the relevant assigning Lender, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) together with payment
to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (which shall not be payable by the Borrower), the Administrative
Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record
the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower.

Register; Disclosure; Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks. (a)  The Administrative Agent shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitments of
the Lenders, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall
be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


 


(b)          The
Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, or Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any
prospective Transferee, subject to the provisions of Section 11.20 (whether or not, in the case of any Person that is a prospective
Transferee, such Person in fact becomes a Transferee), any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning
the Borrower and its respective affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement
or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of
the Borrower and its respective affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, 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,
and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that in the case of any
such pledge or assignment to a central bank, the Borrower will not be responsible for the payment of any fees, expenses, duties, imposts,
taxes or other amounts in connection therewith; provided, further that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest
shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment, the Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time
to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s
own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit C, evidencing the Loans owing to such Lender.


 


11.10          [Reserved].


 


11.11          Replacement
of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) requests reimbursement
pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.16 and as a result thereof any of
the actions described in said Section is required to be taken, (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (d) fails to consent
to any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof 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 Section 11.1, so long as the consent of the Required Lenders shall have been obtained with respect
to such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; 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) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all
Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such
replaced Lender under Section 2.19 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than
on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the
terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.8 (provided that the Borrower shall be
obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated,
the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18, as the case may be, and (viii) any
such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall
have against the replaced Lender.

11.12          Adjustments;
Set-off. (a)  If any Lender (a “benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of
its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant
to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f) or (g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such
payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans that are then due and payable,
or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall purchase at par for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion
of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds
thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds
ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered
from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery,
but without interest.


 


(b)          In
addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower,
any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable
by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against
such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness
or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly
to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
