if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. Nothing in this Section 2.02

BEC shall have delivered a Reinvestment Notice in respect of any Asset Sale Proceeds and such Reinvestment Notice does not apply
to all of such Asset Sale Proceeds, then on the third Business Day following the delivery of such Reinvestment Notice, the Borrowers

principal amount of the Advances composing part of the same Borrowings, (2) Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit then

     63


     


    

  


(B)         If
BEC shall have delivered a Redeployment Notice in respect of any Hedge Termination Proceeds and such Redeployment Notice does not

(v)          The
Borrowers shall, from time to time on a Business Day, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Working Capital Advances comprising
part of the same Borrowings, Swingline Advances and the L/C Advances in an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) the
sum of the aggregate principal amount of (1) the Working Capital Advances then outstanding, (2) the L/C Advances then
outstanding, (3) the Swingline Advances then outstanding and (4) the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit
then outstanding exceeds (B) the amount of the Total Revolving Commitment on such Business Day.


 


(vi)         The

(vii)        Concurrently
with each prepayment made pursuant to clauses (b)(i) through (b)(v), BEC shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the calculation of the relevant amount. In the event that BEC shall
subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrowers shall promptly

of such excess a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess.


 




     64


     


    

  


(viii)      Each
prepayment made pursuant to clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iv) shall be applied ratably first, to prepay
the Term Advances in inverse order of maturity to the remaining scheduled amortization payments; second, to the prepayment
of the Swingline Advances and the Revolving Facility as set forth in clause (b)(ix) below; third, to Cash Collateralize
any Letters of Credit then outstanding and undrawn in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount; and fourth, any
amount remaining (the “Reduction Amount”) may be retained by the Borrowers and the Revolving Facility
shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section 4.01(b); provided that the Borrowers may use a portion of any
proceeds required pursuant to clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iv) to prepay the Term Advances to prepay or repurchase
any other Debt that is secured by all or any part of the Collateral on an equal and ratable basis with the Obligations to the extent
such other Debt and the Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Debt requires
such a prepayment or repurchase thereof with such proceeds, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (A) such
proceeds and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Debt and the denominator
of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Advances and such other Debt. Upon the drawing of any Letters of
Credit in respect of which funds are on deposit in any Controlled Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing
Banks in an amount equal to such Drawing Payment.


 


(ix)         Prepayments
of the Revolving Facility made pursuant to this clause (b) shall be applied, first, to prepay Swingline Advances
until such amounts are paid in full, and second, ratable prepayments of any Working Capital Advances and L/C Advances then
outstanding (and the Revolving Facility shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section 4.01(b)) until such amounts
are paid in full.


 


(x)          All
prepayments under this clause (b) shall be made together with (A) accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such
prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and (B) any amounts owing pursuant to Section 11.02(g).


 


Section
2.05.         Scheduled Interest.


 


(a)          Except
as otherwise set forth herein, each Type of Advance shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made
through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:


 


(i)          if
a Base Rate Advance, at the Base Rate plus (except for any Swingline Advance) the Applicable Margin; or


 


(ii)         if
a Eurodollar Rate Advance, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin.


 




     65


     


    

  


(b)          The
basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Advance (other than Swingline Advances), and the Interest Period
with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance, shall be selected by the Borrowers and notified to the Administrative Agent and the
Appropriate Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any
day an Advance (other than Swingline Advances) is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation
Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for
determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance.


 


(c)          In
connection with Eurodollar Rate Advances, there shall be no more than eight Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event
BEC fails to specify between a Base Rate Advance or a Eurodollar Rate Advance in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation
Notice, such Advance (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Advance) will be automatically Converted into a Base Rate Advance on
the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Advance (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Advance will remain as, or
(if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Advance). In the event BEC fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar
Rate Advance in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected
an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination
Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding
upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Advance for which an interest rate is then being determined
for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to
the Borrowers and each Appropriate Lender.


 


(d)          Except
as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Advance (i) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily
basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Advance, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued
on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Advances,
including final maturity of the Advances.


 


(e)          Until
each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(b) to refinance such Revolving Credit
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swingline Advances, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage shall
be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.


 




     66


     


    

  


Section
2.06.         Conversion/Continuation of Advances.


 


(a)          Optional.
The Borrowers may, on any Business Day, upon provision of an irrevocable Conversion/Continuation Notice by BEC (or irrevocable
telephonic notice in lieu thereof, followed by the prompt delivery of a Conversion/Continuation Notice) to the Administrative Agent
not later than 12:00 (noon) (New York City time) on (x) in the case of a Conversion to a Base Rate Advance, the Business
Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and (y) in the case of a Conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar
Rate Advance, the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or continuation, and subject to the provisions
of Section 4.04, Convert all or any portion of the Advances (other than Swingline Advances) of one Type composing the same
Borrowing into Advances of the other Type, or, upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Advance,
to continue all or a portion of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Advance; provided that (i) any Conversion of Eurodollar
Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances
unless the Borrowers shall pay all amounts due under Section 11.02(g) in connection with any such Conversion, (ii) each
Conversion or continuation of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under any Facility shall be made ratably among the
Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their Commitments or Advances under such Facility and (iii) in the case of a Conversion
of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances, no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. Each Conversion/Continuation Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, a Swingline Advance may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Advance.


 


(b)          Mandatory.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically,
on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of
the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.


 


Section
2.07.         Promissory Notes.


 


(a)          Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers
to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest
payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Borrowers agree that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrowers
(with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness
is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the
Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender, with a copy
to the Administrative Agent, a Term Note, a Revolving Note and a Swingline Note, as applicable, payable to such Lender in a principal
amount equal to the Term Advances, the Working Capital Advances, the Swingline Advances and the L/C Advances, respectively, of
such Lender. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.


 


(b)          The
Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.06(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary
account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made
hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the
terms of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due
and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received
by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.


 




     67


     


    

  


(c)          Entries
made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to clause (b) above shall be conclusive evidence
of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers, under this Agreement,
absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to make an entry, or any finding that an entry
is incorrect, which, in either case, shall be promptly corrected, in the Register shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations
of the Borrowers under this Agreement.


 


Article
III


 


LETTERS OF CREDIT


 


Section
3.01.         Letters of Credit.


 


(a)          The
Letters of Credit.


 


(i)          Each
Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue (or cause its Affiliate that is an Acceptable
Bank to issue on its behalf) standby letters of credit, substantially in the form of Exhibit P-4, (each, a “Working
Capital Letter of Credit”) in Dollars for the account of the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during
the period from the Closing Date until five Business Days before the Revolving Facility Maturity Date in an Available Amount for
each such Working Capital Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank not to exceed such Issuing Bank’s Unused L/C Commitment
at such time. Working Capital Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of each of the aggregate Revolving
Commitments and aggregate L/C Commitments, each in an amount equal to the Available Amount of such Working Capital Letter of Credit.


 


(ii)         Each
Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue (or cause its Affiliate that is an Acceptable
Bank to issue on its behalf) standby letters of credit, substantially in the form of Exhibit P-2, (each, a “DSRA
Letter of Credit”) in Dollars for the account of the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Closing Date until five Business Days before the Revolving Facility Maturity Date in an Available Amount for each such
DSRA Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank not to exceed such Issuing Bank’s Unused L/C Commitment at such time. DSRA
Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of each of the aggregate Revolving Commitments and aggregate L/C
Commitments, each in an amount equal to the Available Amount of such DSRA Letter of Credit.


 


(iii)        Each
Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue (or cause its Affiliate that is an Acceptable
Bank to issue on its behalf) standby letters of credit, substantially in the form of Exhibit P-3, (each, a “MMRA
Letter of Credit”) in Dollars for the account of the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Closing Date until five Business Days before the Revolving Facility Maturity Date in an Available Amount for each such
MMRA Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank not to exceed such Issuing Bank’s Unused L/C Commitment at such time. MMRA
Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of each of the aggregate Revolving Commitments and aggregate L/C
Commitments, each in an amount equal to the Available Amount of such MMRA Letter of Credit.


 




     68


     


    

  


(iv)         Immediately
upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by the relevant Issuing
Bank and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank or Revolving Lenders, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed
to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from such Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and
any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount under
such Letter of Credit.


 


(b)          Renewal
and Termination of Letters of Credit. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrowers
or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and may
by its terms be renewable annually unless the relevant Issuing Bank has notified the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) on or prior to the date for notice of termination set forth in such Letter of Credit, but in any event at least 30
days prior to the date of automatic renewal of its election not to renew such Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Termination”);
provided that the terms of each Letter of Credit that is automatically renewable annually (i) may, at the Borrowers’
option, (A) require the relevant Issuing Bank to give the beneficiary named in such Letter of Credit notice of any Notice
of Termination and (B) permit such beneficiary, upon receipt of such notice, to draw under such Letter of Credit prior to
the date such Letter of Credit otherwise would have been automatically renewed and (ii) shall not permit the expiration date
(after giving effect to any renewal) of such Letter of Credit in any event to be extended to a date later than five Business Days
before the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. If a Notice of Termination is given by any Issuing Bank pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence, such Letter of Credit shall expire on the date on which it otherwise would have been automatically renewed.
Within the limits of each Letter of Credit Facility and subject to the limits referred to above, the Borrowers may request the
issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 3.01.


 


Section
3.02.         Request for Issuance.
Each Letter of Credit shall be issued, extended, or have the Available Amount increased or decreased upon request, given not later
than 12:00 (noon) (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day (or, in the case of a DSRA Letter of Credit to be issued
on the Closing Date, the second Business Day) prior to the date of the proposed issuance, extension, increase or decrease, as
applicable, of such Letter of Credit, by BEC to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to the relevant Issuing Bank prompt
notice thereof by telecopier or electronic communication. Each such request for issuance, extension, increase or decrease of the
Available Amount of a Letter of Credit shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit P-1 (an “L/C Credit
Extension Request”), and if requested by the Issuing Bank, a Letter of Credit application in such Issuing Bank’s
standard form (“Letter of Credit Application”). No Issuing Bank shall be required to issue a Letter
of Credit prior to the satisfaction of all applicable Issuing Bank customary procedures until such time as such Issuing Bank and
the Borrowers have agreed on the form and substance of such Working Capital Letter of Credit; provided that no Issuing
Bank shall unreasonably delay the issuance of any such Working Capital Letter of Credit or unreasonably reject any provisions
required by the Borrowers to be included in or omitted from such Working Capital Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank will, upon
fulfillment or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V, make such Letter of Credit available to the
Borrowers at its office referred to in Section 11.01 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrowers in connection with such
issuance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or
not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or direct
that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall
impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which
such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder), or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost
or expense (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder).


 




     69


     


    

  


Section
3.03.         Letter of Credit Reports.
Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (a) to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrowers) on the first Business Day
of each week a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Working Capital Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Bank during the previous week and drawings during such week under all Working Capital Letters of Credit, (b) to the Administrative
Agent (with a copy to the Borrowers) on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration
dates of Working Capital Letters of Credit issued by it, during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all such
Working Capital Letters of Credit and (c) to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrowers) on the first Business
Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding
calendar quarter of all Working Capital Letters of Credit issued by it.


 


Section
3.04.         Drawings and Reimbursements.


 


(a)          Upon
receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing
Bank that issued such Letter of Credit shall notify promptly the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than
5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the date of any payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit,
the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.


 


(b)          In
the event that the Borrowers shall fail for any reason to reimburse the Issuing Bank as provided in clause (a) above
(and BEC does not notify the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank that it intends to reimburse such Issuing Bank
for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of L/C Advances), such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each
Revolving Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such Drawing Payment with respect to a Letter of Credit and of such Lender’s
respective participation therein. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Drawing Payment on a Letter
of Credit within one (1) Business Day after receiving notice. Each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever. Each Drawing Payment shall be deemed to be financed on the date on which such Drawing Payment is made
with a Revolving Borrowing (or a portion thereof) (any such Revolving Borrowing to reimburse Drawing Payment, an “L/C
Advance”) comprising Base Rate Advances of the Revolving Lenders in their respective Pro Rata Share of such Drawing
Payment, and bearing interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin then-applicable for Base Rate Advances, and the Borrowers’
obligation to reimburse such Drawing Payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting L/C Advance.


 




     70


     


    

  


(c)          Each
such L/C Advance by a Revolving Lender under this Section 3.04 shall be made as provided in Section 4.05
(and Section 4.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders hereunder
(including the obligation to pay interest to the Issuing Bank in respect of late payments by any Revolving Lender)), and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the applicable Revolving Lenders.


 


(d)          In
the event an Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by the applicable Lenders pursuant to this Section 3.04 for all
or any portion of any unreimbursed Drawing Payment, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to each applicable Lender which has paid
all amounts payable by it under this Section 3.04 such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received
by the Issuing Bank from Borrowers in reimbursement of such applicable Drawing Payment when such payments are received.


 


Section
3.05.         Obligations Absolute.
The Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit shall
be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such other agreement
or instrument under all circumstances, including the following:


 


(a)          any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto
(all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);


 


(b)          any
change in time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrowers in respect
of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related
Documents;


 


(c)          the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrowers may have at any time against any beneficiary or any
transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing
Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated
transaction;


 


(d)          any
draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any error, omission, interruption, loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;


 




     71


     


    

  


(e)          payment
by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft, certificate or other document that does not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;


 


(f)           any
exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent
to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrowers in respect of the L/C
Related Documents;


 


(g)          any
other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers or a guarantor; or


 


(h)          any
payment made by the Issuing Bank for such Letter of Credit in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified
as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such
date is authorized by the UCC or the ISP, as applicable.


 


The Administrative Agent, each Lender and
each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no Issuing Bank shall have any responsibility to obtain
any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain
or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such
document. None of the Agents, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
trustees, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection
herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken
or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or
enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts
or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption
is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary
or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Agents, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact, shall be liable or responsible for
any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (g) above; provided that anything in such clauses
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against any Issuing Bank, and any Issuing Bank may be liable to
the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered
by the Loan Parties which were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Bank’s
willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight
draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

Section
3.06.         L/C Facility Fees.


 


(a)          Upon
the issuance of any Letter of Credit, on each Interest Payment Date occurring on or after the date thereof, the Borrowers shall
pay (i) to each Issuing Bank (solely to the extent (x) such Issuing Bank is fronting for other Lenders and (y) such
Letter of Credit has not been Cash Collateralized in accordance with this Agreement) for its own account a fronting fee in arrears
with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank which shall accrue on a daily basis at a rate per annum equal
to the product of (A) 0.125% times (B) the daily average Available Amount of such Letter of Credit during such quarter
(or portion thereof), including the first day, but excluding the last day of such quarter (or a portion thereof), times (C) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such quarter (or a portion thereof), including the first day of such
period, but excluding the last day of such period, and the denominator of which is 360; and (ii) to the Administrative Agent
(for further credit to the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders) a participation fee in arrears which shall accrue on a daily
basis at a rate per annum equal to the product of (A) the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances times
(B) the daily average outstanding amount of such Letter of Credit during such quarter (or portion thereof), including the
first day, but excluding the last day of such quarter (or a portion thereof), times (C) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of days in such quarter (or a portion thereof), including the first day of such period, but excluding the last day
of such period, and the denominator of which is 360.


 


(b)          The
Borrowers shall pay each Issuing Bank’s expenses with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of, or the
processing of drawings under, any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank within thirty (30) days after demand by the
applicable Issuing Bank.


 


Section
3.07.         Replacement or Addition of an Issuing Bank.


 


(a)          Any
Issuing Bank may be replaced or an additional Acceptable Bank appointed as an Issuing Bank at any time by written agreement among
the Borrowers, a new Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (with notice to such replaced Issuing Bank); provided that,
if the replaced Issuing Bank so requests, any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall be replaced and cancelled prior
to the removal of such Issuing Bank and all fees and other amounts owed to such removed Issuing Bank shall be paid to it.


 


(b)          If
at any time any Issuing Bank is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to
such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, elect to (i) replace such Issuing Bank with a Person selected by the Borrowers
so long as such Person is an Eligible Assignee, is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and agrees to act as an
Issuing Bank hereunder or (ii) cause such Issuing Bank to assign its L/C Commitment to an additional Issuing Bank selected
by the Borrowers so long as such Person is an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided
that, if the replaced Issuing Bank so requests, any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall be replaced and cancelled
prior to the removal of such Issuing Bank and all fees and other amounts owed to such removed Issuing Bank shall be paid to it.


 




     73


     


    

  


(c)          From
and after the effective date of any such replacement or addition, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have
all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Banks under this Agreement (and the Letter of Credit to be issued by it on such effective
date or thereafter) and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such
successor, additional Issuing Bank or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor, additional Issuing Bank and all previous
Issuing Banks, as the context may require.


 


Section
3.08.         Applicability of ISP.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant Issuing Bank and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules
of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit (provided that, as between the Loan Parties and the Lender Parties, in the event
of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the rules of the ISP, the terms of this Agreement shall
prevail). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to the Borrowers for, and such Issuing Bank’s
rights and remedies against the Borrowers shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or permitted
under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including
the law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP,
or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association
for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking
Law & Practice.


 


Article
IV


 


COMMON PROVISIONS
TO FACILITIES


 


Section
4.01.         Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.


 


(a)          Optional.
The Borrowers may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice from BEC confirmed in writing to
the Administrative Agent terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Term Commitments and the Available Revolving
Commitments; provided that any partial reduction of a Facility (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or
an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) shall be made ratably among the Appropriate Lenders in accordance
with their Commitments with respect to such Facility. BEC’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which
shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction
of the relevant Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in BEC’s notice and shall reduce the relevant Commitments
of the Appropriate Lenders proportionately in accordance with each such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.


 


(b)          Mandatory
Reductions. At such time as the Term Advances have been repaid in full, the Total Revolving Commitment shall be automatically
and permanently reduced on each date on which prepayment thereof is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i),
through Section 2.04(b)(iv) in an amount equal to the applicable Reduction Amount; provided that each such reduction
of the Total Revolving Commitment shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving
Commitments. Prior to the repayment in full of the Term Advances, no reduction shall be required in respect of the Total Revolving
Commitment as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.04(b). 


 




     74


     


    




 


Section
4.02.         Default Interest.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), the Borrowers shall pay interest
on (a) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender Party, payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per
annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Advances; provided
that in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Advances, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such
increase in interest rate is effective, such Eurodollar Rate Advances shall thereupon become Base Rate Advances and shall thereafter
bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum above the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for
Base Rate Advances and (b) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount
payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender Party that is not paid when due, from the date
such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in
full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum
required to be paid on Base Rate Advances. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section
4.02 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise
prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.


 


Section
4.03.         Fees.


 


(a)          Commitment
Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders, a commitment fee until the
Revolving Facility Maturity Date, payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date occurring after the Closing Date,
and on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the sum of the average daily Available
Revolving Commitment during such quarter; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Commitments
of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall
not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee
shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to such time; provided further that no commitment fee shall
accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Promptly upon receipt
of any commitment fee payable under this clause (a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Revolving
Lenders its Pro Rata Share thereof.


 


(b)          Agents’
Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to each Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be separately agreed between
the Borrowers and such Agent.


 


(c)          Joint
Lead Arrangers’ Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to each Joint Lead Arranger for its own account such fees as may be separately
agreed between the Borrowers and such Joint Lead Arranger.


 




     75


     


    

  


(d)          Fee
Associated with Swingline Advances. Upon the making of any Swingline Advance, on each Interest Payment Date occurring on or
after the date thereof, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for further credit to the ratable account of the Revolving
Lenders) a participation fee in arrears which shall accrue on a daily basis at a rate per annum equal to the product of (i) the
Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances per annum, times (ii) the daily average outstanding principal
amount of such Swingline Advance during such quarter (or portion thereof), including the first day, but excluding the last day
of such quarter (or a portion thereof), times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such quarter (or
a portion thereof), including the first day of such period, but excluding the last day of such period, and the denominator of which
is 360.


 


Section
4.04.         Change of Circumstances.


 


(a)          Inability
to Determine Rates. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any Advances, (i) Administrative Agent determines
that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined due to the unavailability
of funds in or other circumstances affecting the London interbank market, or (ii) Appropriate Lenders holding at least 33-1/3%
of the then outstanding Advances shall advise Administrative Agent that (A) the rates of interest for such Advances do not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Advances or (B) deposits in Dollars in
the London interbank market are not available to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by each such Lender in good faith in writing
to Administrative Agent and to the Borrowers) in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to make and/or maintain
their Eurodollar Rate Advances, then Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice of such condition to the Borrowers. After
the giving of any such notice and until Administrative Agent shall otherwise notify the Borrowers that the circumstances giving
rise to such condition no longer exist (which notice shall be given promptly after such circumstances cease to exist), (x) with
respect to notices given under clause (i) above, Borrowers’ right to request the making of, and the Lenders’
obligations to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Advances, shall be suspended and (y) with respect to notices given under clause (ii)
above, Borrowers’ right to request the making of, and the obligation of the Lenders advising Administrative Agent under clause (ii)
(the “Affected Lenders”), to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Advances, shall be suspended and all Advances
made or continued after the giving of such notice shall be made or continued as Substitute Advances. With respect to notices given
under clause (i) above, any Advances outstanding at the commencement of any such suspension and with respect to notices
given under clause (ii) above, any Advances of Affected Lenders outstanding at the commencement of such suspension
shall, in each case, be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Advances into, at BEC’s option,
either Base Rate Advances or Substitute Advances unless Administrative Agent has notified Borrower in writing that such suspension
has then ended.


 




     76


     


    

  


(b)          Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful, or any
central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office
to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances
hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (i) each
Eurodollar Rate Advance under each Facility under which such Lender has a Commitment will automatically, upon such demand, Convert
into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances
shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lender has determined that the circumstances
causing such suspension no longer exist; provided that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable
efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending
Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its
obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances, to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances, and would not, in the judgment
of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.


 


(c)          Increased
Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:


 


(i)          impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected
in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) or any Issuing Bank;


 


(ii)         subject
any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through
(d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal,
letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
or


 


(iii)        impose
on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting
this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;


 


and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Advance
or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other
Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in
or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other
Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuing Bank or other
Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred
or reduction suffered; provided that (A) the Borrowers shall not be responsible for costs under this clause (c)
or clause (d) below incurred more than 150 days prior to receipt by the Borrowers of the demand from the affected Lender,
Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, pursuant to this clause (c) or clause (d) below, unless
the requirement resulting in such increased costs became effective during such 150-day period and retroactively applies to
a date occurring prior to such 150-day period, in which case the Borrowers shall be responsible for all such additional amounts
described in this clause (c) or clause (d) below from and after such date of effectiveness and (B) a
Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, claiming additional amounts under this Section 4.04 agrees
to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate
a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient,
as the case may be, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be. A certificate
as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrowers by such Lender, Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case
may be, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.


 




     77


     


    

  


(d)          Capital
Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any
lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity
requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital
or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the
Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Advances held by, such
Lender, or the Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s
or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy or liquidity, as applicable), then, from time to time, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.


 


(e)          Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of
this Section and delivered to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.


 


(f)          Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
4.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 4.04 for any increased
costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof).


 




     78


     


    

  


Section
4.05.         Payments and Computations.


 


(a)          The
Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off,
not later than 12:00 (noon) (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s Account in same-day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed
to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day unless the Administrative Agent otherwise elects in its sole discretion.
The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrowers
is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in
accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then-payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if such payment by
the Borrowers is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account
of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance
of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 11.06(c),
from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the assignee thereunder, and the parties to such
Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly
between themselves.


 


(b)          The
Borrowers hereby authorize each Lender Party and each of its Affiliates, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender Party
is not made when due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, against any or all of the Borrowers’ accounts with such Lender Party or such Affiliate any amount so due.


 


(c)          All
payments in respect of the principal amount of any Advance (other than voluntary prepayments of Working Capital Advances) shall
be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any
event, any payments in respect of any Advance on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Advance) shall be
applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.


 


(d)          All
computations of interest for Base Rate Advances when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of
a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees, interest
and commissions shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding
the last day; provided that, if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall
be paid on such Advance). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.


 




     79


     


    

  


(e)          Whenever
any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation
of payment of interest, commitment or letter of credit fee or commission, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension
would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such
payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.


 


(f)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from BEC prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party
hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made
such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If
and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party
shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest
thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such
amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.


 


(g)          If
the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan
Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances or the Facility to which, or the manner
in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds
to each of the Lender Parties in accordance with such Lender Party’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (i) the aggregate
principal amount of all Advances outstanding at such time and (ii) the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit
outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances or other Obligations then owing to such
Lender Party, and, in the case of the Term Facility, for application to such principal repayment installments thereof, as the Administrative
Agent shall direct.


 


(h)          The
Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers under this Agreement that is not made in same day
funds prior to 12:00 (noon) (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have
been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds and (ii) the
applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrowers and each Appropriate
Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or
Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as
to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the
date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 4.02 from
the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.


 


(i)           If
an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived and the maturity of the Advances shall have been accelerated
pursuant to Section 8.01, all payments or proceeds received by the Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Advances or
other Obligations of the Borrowers, shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 4.1
of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section
4.06.         Taxes.


 


(a)          Defined
Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.06, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable
law” includes FATCA.


 


(b)          Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made
without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the
good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment
by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall
timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if
such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after
such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 4.06) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction
or withholding been made.


 


(c)          Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Loan Parties 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 the payment of, any Other Taxes.


 


(d)          Indemnification
by the Borrowers. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable
to amounts payable under this Section 4.06) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from
a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers 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.


 


(e)          Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor,
for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified
the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any
Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(d) relating to the maintenance
of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid
by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such
Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).


 




     81


     


    

  


(f)           Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this
Section 4.06, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued
by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


 


(g)          Status
of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made
under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers
or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In
addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers
or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation
(other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.06(g)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not
be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to
any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.


 


(ii)         Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that each of the Borrowers is a U.S. Borrower,


 


(A)         any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which
such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers
or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal
backup withholding tax;


 


(B)         any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in
such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent),
whichever of the following is applicable:


 




     82


     


    

  


(i)          in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with
respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing
an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax
treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits”
or “other income” article of such tax treaty;


 


(ii)         executed
originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;


 


(iii)        in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled
foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or


 


(iv)        to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-2
or Exhibit M-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;
provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender
are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit M-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


 


(C)         any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in
such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent),
executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal
withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit
the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and


 




     83


     


    

  


(D)         if
a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such
Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b)
or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative
Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal
Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary
for the Borrowers 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 this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement.


 


Each Lender agrees
that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update
such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do
so.


 


(h)          Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund
of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.06 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 4.06), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.06 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified
party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would
place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax
subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification
payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (h) shall not be construed
to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.


 


(i)          Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.06 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.


 




     84


     


    

  


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


 


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


 


(ii)         the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender),
or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances
or participations in L/C Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof (as to
which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).


 


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


 


Section
4.08.         Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.


 


(a)          Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.04, or requires the Borrowers to
pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant
to Section 4.06, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.04 or 4.06, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.


 


(b)          Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.04, or if the Borrowers is required to pay any Indemnified
Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.06
and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section
4.08(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or Non-Extending Lender, then the Borrowers may,
at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate
(in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), without recourse,
all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.04 or Section 4.06)
and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:


 




     85


     


    

  


(i)          the
Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.06;


 


(ii)         such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued
fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 11.02(g))
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of
all other amounts);


 


(iii)        in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.04 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 4.06, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;


 


(iv)        such
assignment does not conflict with applicable law;


 


(v)         in
the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented
to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent; and


 


(vi)        in
the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Extending Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented
to the Borrowers’ requested extension to the Revolving Facility maturity Date, applicable amendment, waiver or consent.


 


A Lender shall not be required to make
any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling
the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.


 


Section
4.09.         Use of Proceeds.


 


(a)          The
proceeds of the Term Advances shall be available (and the Borrowers agree that they shall use such proceeds) solely to (i) to
the extent not funded with a DSRA Letter of Credit or an Acceptable Reserve Guarantee, fund the Debt Service Reserve Account, (ii) to
the extent not funded with a MMRA Letter of Credit or an Acceptable Reserve Guarantee, fund the MMRA Reserve Account, (iii) pay
certain transaction expenses and (iv) make distributions to Holdings or any Affiliate of Holdings.


 




     86


     


    

  


(b)          The
proceeds of the Working Capital Advances and the Swingline Advances shall be available (and the Borrowers agree that they shall
use such proceeds) solely (i) to fund a portion of the working capital requirements of the Loan Parties, (ii) to provide
security to support the working capital needs and obligations of the Loan Parties (including the security obligations in respect
of a Permitted Expansion undertaken by a Loan Party), (iii) for other general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties and (iv)
in the case of Working Capital Advances, to repay Swingline Advances; provided that (A) Working Capital Advances and Swingline
Advances may not be used to refinance Debt Obligations in the financial markets and (B) Swingline Advances may not be used to refinance
any other Advances. The proceeds of the L/C Advances shall be available solely to reimburse draws under Letters of Credit as contemplated
by Section 3.04(b).


 


(c)          Working
Capital Letters of Credit shall be available to provide credit support in respect of the working capital needs of any Loan Party
and for other general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties (including the security obligations in respect of a Permitted Expansion
undertaken by a Loan Party).


 


(d)          DSRA
Letters of Credit shall be available to provide credit support in respect of the Debt Service Reserve Requirement of the Borrowers
under this Agreement.


 


(e)          MMRA
Letters of Credit shall be available to provide credit support in respect of the Major Maintenance Reserve Requirement of the Borrowers
under this Agreement.


 


Section
4.10.         Extensions of Commitments.


 


(a)          BEC
may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that Revolving Commitments and/or L/C Commitments and/or Advances under
any Facility be extended to a date beyond the then-existing Revolving Facility Maturity Date, Swingline Maturity Date or Term Facility
Maturity Date, as applicable. Upon the receipt of such request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall deliver
a copy thereof to each Appropriate Lender. Such notice shall set forth the newly proposed Revolving Facility Maturity Date, Swingline
Maturity Date and/or Term Facility Maturity Date and the date on which such extension is requested to become effective (which shall
be not less than 15 Business Days nor more than 90 days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be on or prior
to the then-existing Revolving Facility Maturity Date, Swingline Maturity Date and/or Term Facility Maturity Date, as applicable),
and shall offer each such Appropriate Lender the opportunity to extend its Revolving Commitment and/or L/C Commitment and/or Advances
under such Facility. Each such Appropriate Lender shall, by notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent given not more
than 15 days after the date of the Administrative Agent’s notice, either agree to extend its Revolving Commitment and/or
L/C Commitment and/or Advances under such Facility (each such Lender so agreeing being an “Extending Lender”)
or decline to extend its Revolving Commitment and/or L/C Commitment and/or Advances under such Facility (and any such Lender that
does not deliver such a notice within such period of 15 days shall be deemed to have declined to extend its Revolving Commitment
and/or L/C Commitment and/or Advances under such Facility) (each such Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being
a “Non-Extending Lender”). In the event that, on the 15th day after the Administrative Agent shall have
delivered a notice pursuant to the second sentence of this clause (a), the Extending Lenders shall have agreed pursuant
to the preceding sentence to extend their Revolving Commitments and/or L/C Commitments and/or Advances under such Facility by an
aggregate amount less than the amount requested by BEC to be extended, the Borrowers may arrange for one or more banks or other
entities (any such bank or other entity being called an “Augmenting Extending Lender”), which may include
any Lender, to provide Revolving Commitments and/or L/C Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided
that each Augmenting Extending Lender shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent and any affected
Issuing Bank to the extent that such Augmenting Extending Lender proposes to provide a revolving facility that includes letters
of credit (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrowers and each Augmenting Extending Lender
shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Commitment
and/or L/C Commitment and/or its status as a Lender hereunder. Any such extension may be made in an amount that is less than the
amount requested by the Borrowers to be extended if the Borrowers are unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting
Extending Lenders but in no event shall any such extension be made in an amount that exceeds the Revolving Commitments and/or L/C
Commitments and/or Advances under the relevant Facility.


 




     87


     


    

  


(b)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing and without prejudice to Section 11.05, no extension or replacement of the Revolving Commitments and/or L/C
Commitments shall become effective under this Section 4.10 unless (i) on the date of such extension, the condition
set forth in Section 5.02(b) and (c) shall be satisfied, (ii) to the extent reasonably requested by the Extending
Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, resolutions and other closing certificates consistent with
those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.01, (iii) the Borrowers shall have paid in full any fees and expenses
in respect of any such extension that are then due and payable, (iv) such extension, by the terms of the extension request,
is not effective until (A) the then-existing Revolving Facility Maturity Date, Swingline Maturity Date or Term Facility Maturity
Date, as applicable, and (B) all amounts owing by a Loan Party to each Non-Extending Lender on the then-existing Revolving
Facility Maturity Date, Swingline Maturity Date or Term Facility Maturity Date, as applicable, have been paid and all Commitments
of each Non-Extending Lender have been cancelled or expired.


 


(c)          Each
of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.05, this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an amendment executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and
the Extending Lenders, without the consent of any Non-Extending Lender, to the extent reasonably required to (i) reflect the
existence and terms of the extended Revolving Commitments and/or L/C Commitments and/or Advances and (ii) effect such other
amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the
Administrative Agent and BEC, to effect the provisions of this Section 4.10, and the Lenders hereby expressly and irrevocably,
for the benefit of all parties hereto, authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such amendment; provided that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, no such amendment, by the terms thereof, shall be effective until (A) the then-existing Revolving Facility
Maturity Date, Swingline Maturity Date or Term Facility Maturity Date, as applicable, and (B) all amounts owing by a Loan
Party to each Non-Extending Lender on the then-existing Revolving Facility Maturity Date, Swingline Maturity Date or Term Facility
Maturity Date, as applicable, have been paid and all Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender have been cancelled or expired. In
connection with any such amendment, the Borrowers shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent (A) as to the enforceability of this Agreement (as amended), and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be
amended thereby and (B) as to any other customary matters reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.


 




     88


     


    

  


Section
4.11.         Defaulting Lenders.


 


(a)          Defaulting
Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:


 


(i)          Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.


 


(ii)         Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. 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 Article VIII or otherwise) or received
by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.04 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, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by
such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender hereunder on a ratable basis; third, to Cash Collateralize
the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 11.03; fourth,
as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance 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; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a Deposit Account and released
pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances
under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting
Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 11.03; sixth,
to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender
as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, 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 Advances or L/C Advances
in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances or L/C Advances
were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied
or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances and L/C Advances of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro
rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances
and L/C Advances and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Commitments and Swingline Advances are held by the Lenders pro
rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 4.11(a)(iv).
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed
by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.11(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected
by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.


 




     89


     


    

  


(iii)        Certain
Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 4.03 for any period during which
that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been
required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).


 


(B)         Each
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to Section 3.06 for any period during which that Lender is
a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the Available Amount of Letters of Credit for
which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 11.03.


 


(C)         With
respect to any fees pursuant to Section 3.06 not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A)
or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable
to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Revolving Commitments and L/C Advances
or Swingline Advances that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay
to each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender
to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender,
and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.


 


(iv)         Reallocation
of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Commitments
and L/C Advances and Swingline Advances shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have
otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that
such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Working Capital Advances,
L/C Advances, L/C Exposure and Applicable Percentage of the Swingline Advances of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.


 




     90


     


    

  


(v)          Cash
Collateral; Repayment of Swingline Advances. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can
only partially, be effected, and the Borrower has received written notice by the Administrative Agent thereof, the Borrowers shall,
without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay the Swingline Advances
in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’
Fronting Exposure, in each case in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.03; provided that the Borrowers

Bank or an Affiliate thereof.


 


(b)          Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Lender
is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date
specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash
Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders
or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded
participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments
under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 4.11(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf
of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release
of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

before and after giving effect to the Credit Extension to be made on such date and, with respect to any Borrowing, to the application

could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition
of any Lien upon any of the Properties of any of the Loan Parties (other than any Permitted Liens); or (iv) require any approval

(f)           Binding
Obligation. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party thereto and is the legally

Proceedings, Etc. Except as disclosed in Schedule 6.01(i), there are no Adverse Proceedings, individually or in

exceed 90 days in the aggregate (inclusive of the original 30-day period)) from the date a Responsible Officer of
BEC or any Loan Party obtains knowledge thereof, such false or incorrect representation or warranty shall not constitute a Default
or an Event of Default for purposes of the Loan Documents; or

(c)          any
Loan Party shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in Section 4.09, clause (d),

(d)          any
Loan Party shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in clause (b), (c) or
(d) of Section 7.03 and such failure shall remain unremedied for 15 days after the earlier of the

on which (i) any officer of such Person becomes aware of such failure or (ii) written notice thereof shall have been
given to the Borrowers by any Agent or any Lender Party; provided that, (i) if such failure and is not susceptible
to cure within such 30 days, (ii) such Person is proceeding with diligence and good faith to cure such default and
such default is susceptible to cure and (iii) the existence of such failure has not resulted in a Material Adverse Effect,
such 30 day period shall be extended as may be necessary to cure such failure, such extended period not to exceed 90 days
in the aggregate (inclusive of the original 30-day period); or


 


(f)           (i)
any Loan Party shall fail to pay any principal of, premium or interest on or any other amount payable in respect of any Debt for
Borrowed Money of such Loan Party that is outstanding in a principal amount of at least $15,000,000 either individually or in the
aggregate for all such Persons (but excluding Debt outstanding hereunder) when the same becomes due and payable (whether by scheduled

in the performance of or compliance with any term of, or other event shall occur or condition shall exist under, any agreement

accelerate the maturity of such Debt for Borrowed Money or otherwise to cause such Debt for Borrowed Money to mature; or (iii) any
such Debt for Borrowed Money shall be declared (or one or more Persons are entitled to declare such Debt for Borrowed Money to
be) due and payable or required to be prepaid or redeemed (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment or redemption),
purchased or defeased, or an offer to prepay, redeem, purchase or defease such Debt for Borrowed Money shall be required to be
made, in each case prior to the stated maturity thereof; or


 




     122


     


    

  


(g)          any
Loan Party or Holdings shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding shall be instituted by
or against any Loan Party or Holdings seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency
or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or
other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against
it (but not instituted by it) that is being diligently contested by it in good faith, either such proceeding shall remain undismissed
or unstayed for a period of 90 days or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including the entry of an order for relief
against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or any substantial part of its
property) shall occur; or any Person shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this clause (g);
or


 


(h)          any
judgments or orders, either individually or in the aggregate, for the payment of money in excess of $15,000,000 shall be rendered
against any Loan Party and there shall be any period of 90 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment
or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; or


 


(i)           any
non-monetary judgment or order shall be rendered against any Loan Party that has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect, and there
shall be any period of 90 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a pending
appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; or


 


(j)           any
provision of any Loan Document after delivery thereof pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 7.01(n) shall for any reason
(except as the result of act or omission of the Agents or the other Secured Parties) cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable
against any Loan Party party to it, or any such Loan Party shall so state in writing; or


 


(k)          any
Collateral Document or financing statement after delivery thereof pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 7.01(n) shall
for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof or as a result of action taken by any Agent or any other First Lien Secured
Party) cease to create a valid and perfected first priority lien on and security interest in the Collateral to the extent contemplated
hereby or thereby (other than in respect of Collateral with a fair market value of less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate); or


 


(l)           a
Change of Control shall occur; or


 


(m)         (i)
there shall occur one or more ERISA Events which individually or in the aggregate results in liability of any Loan Party or, if
such liability, together with all other such liabilities, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or (ii) a
Lien or security interest under Section 430(k) of the Internal Revenue Code or under ERISA has been imposed on the Collateral,
any Loan Party, or any Employee Benefit Plan, and such Lien, together with all other such Liens, would reasonably be likely to

(n)          an
Event of Abandonment, a Total Loss or an Event of Eminent Domain with respect to all or substantially all of the Project shall

     123


     


    

  


(o)          any
Governmental Authorization shall be revoked, cancelled or materially and adversely modified by the Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction and the Required Lenders shall have reasonably determined that such revocation, cancellation or material and adverse
modification could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and such revocation, cancellation or adverse modification
shall continue unremedied for thirty (30) days from such revocation, cancellation or material and adverse modification; or


 


(p)          either
(i)(A) any Core Contract (other than the LTSA) is terminated or ceases to be valid and binding prior to the expiration pursuant
to the terms thereof or (B) unless replaced within 90 days of such termination, any other Material Project Document is terminated
prior to the expiration pursuant to the terms thereof and such termination could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, (ii) unless such Material Project Document is replaced (and, in the case of the LTSA, the Borrowers have (x) delivered
to the Administrative Agent an updated Major Maintenance Funding Certificate for the next five operating years confirmed by the
Independent Engineer to be acceptable and (y) fully funded the Major Maintenance Account and any other major maintenance then required
under the terms of the Permitted Expansion Facility, as then required by such updated Major Maintenance Funding Certificate), the
counterparty to a Material Project Document is in material default for 90 days (or, in the case of a Core Contract described in
clause (i)(A), the lesser of 90 days and the cure period under such agreement) and such material default could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) credit support provided to a Loan Party with respect to a Material
Project Document is no longer valid and is not replaced within 90 days (or, in the case of an agreement described in clause
(i)(A), 30 days); provided that any replacement of a Third Party Power Purchase Agreement (or permitted replacement
thereof) may only be replaced with a “Replacement Power Purchase Agreement; or


 


(q)          an
“event of default”, “termination event” or similar event shall occur under (i) any Interest Rate Hedge
or (ii) any Permitted Commodity Hedge and Power Sale Agreement if, with respect to this clause (ii), the effect of
such “event of default”, “termination event” or similar event is to cause termination costs in excess of
$15,000,000 in the aggregate to become due and payable by a Loan Party thereunder; provided that the foregoing shall not
constitute an Event of Default if within 30 days following such occurrence, a Loan Party shall have deposited, or caused to be
deposited, into the Revenue Account proceeds of Additional Equity Contributions in an amount equal to not less than such termination
costs; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Event of Default under this Section 8.01(q)
shall be deemed to have occurred during any period not to exceed 90 days following such occurrence in which a Loan Party is contesting,
in good faith by dispute resolution or other appropriate proceedings a Loan Party’s obligation to pay all or any portion
of such termination costs (including any such dispute as to the occurrence of the “event of default”, “termination
event” or similar event giving rise to such termination costs);


 




     124


     


    

  


then, and in any such event, and for so
long as such Event of Default shall exist, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of
the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender
Party to make Advances and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith
terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrowers, declare
the Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith
due and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers;
provided that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (g) and relating to the Borrowers,
(x) the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances and of the Issuing Banks
to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated and (y) the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts
shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers.


 


The Required Lenders,
by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may on behalf of all of the Lenders rescind an acceleration and its consequences
if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal
or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.


 


Section
8.02.         Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit upon Default.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, or shall at the request of the Required
Lenders, irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions described in Section 8.01 or otherwise, or if the Advances
have been declared due and payable as provided in Section 8.01, make demand upon the Borrowers to, and forthwith upon such
demand the Borrowers will, Cash Collateralize the Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit as of such date in an
amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(g) relating to the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall be obligated to Cash Collateralize
the Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit as of such date in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers. If at any time any Issuing Bank determines that any funds held in any Controlled
Account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Issuing Bank or its agent or depositary or that the total
amount of such funds is less than Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by such Issuing Bank, pay
to such Issuing Bank, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such Controlled Account, an amount equal to the excess of
(a) the Minimum Collateral Amount of all Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank then outstanding in respect
of such Issuing Bank over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such Controlled Account that such Issuing Bank
determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in respect of the
L/C Exposure pursuant to Section 8.01 may be held as Cash Collateral for the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the
relevant Issuing Bank in event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit (and the Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative
Agent a security interest in such Cash Collateral). In the event any Letter of Credit in respect of which the Borrowers have deposited
Cash Collateral with the Administrative Agent is canceled or expires, the Cash Collateral shall be applied (i) first
to the reimbursement of the relevant Issuing Bank (or all of the applicable Revolving Lenders, as the case may be) for any drawings
thereunder, and (ii) second to the payment of any outstanding Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document.

Article
IX


 


THE AGENTS


 


Section
9.01.         Appointment of Agents.
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank to
act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent
to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof
or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and neither of the Borrowers nor any other Loan
Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the
term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative
Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between contracting parties.


 


Section
9.02.         Rights of Lenders.
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in
any kind of business with, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative
Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.


 


Section
9.03.         Exculpatory Provisions.


 


(a)          The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent:


 


(i)          shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;


 


(ii)         shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed
in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein
or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in
its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document
or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor
Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any
Debtor Relief Law; and


 




     126


     


    

  


(iii)        shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for
the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained
by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.


 


(b)          The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall
believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.05 and 8.01),
or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrowers, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.


 


(c)          The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any
Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere
herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.


 


Section
9.04.         Reliance by Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by
the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by
it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with
any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that
by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary
from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected
by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.


 




     127


     


    

  


Section
9.05.         Delegation of Duties.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other
Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any
such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative
Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities
as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment
that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.


 


Section
9.06.         Resignation of Administrative Agent.


 


(a)          The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers. Upon receipt
of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York,
New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required
Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications
set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such
notice on the Resignation Effective Date. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d)
of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrowers
and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor. If no
such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
(or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then
such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.


 




     128


     


    

  


(b)          With
effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (1) the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case
of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under any of the Loan
Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead
be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative
Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The
fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation
or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.02 shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting
as Administrative Agent.


 


Section
9.07.         Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents
and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.


 


Section
9.08.         Withholding Taxes.
To the extent required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender Party an amount
equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 4.06, each Lender
Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 15 days
after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other
Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Taxes from amounts paid to
or for the account of such Lender Party for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered
or not properly executed, or because such Lender Party failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances
that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of applicable withholding Taxes ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of
such payment or liability delivered to any Lender Party by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Each Lender Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts owing to such Lender under
the Loan Documents against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.08. The agreements in this Section
9.08 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement
of, a Lender Party, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. This Section 9.08 shall not
impose any additional responsibility on the Loan Parties.


 




     129


     


    




 


Section
9.09.         Administrative Agent May File Proof of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party,
the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance or L/C Commitment shall then be due and payable
as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand
on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:


 


(a)          to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances, L/C Commitments
and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents
and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.06
and 11.02) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and


 


(b)          to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;


 


and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender
and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 11.02.


 


Section
9.10.         Collateral Matters.


 


(a)          The
Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to instruct the Collateral Agent:


 


(i)          to
release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon termination
of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration
or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank shall have been made), (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise
disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (z) subject
to Section 11.05, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or


 




     130


     


    

  


(ii)         to
release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction
permitted under the Loan Documents.


 


Upon request by the
Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to instruct
the Collateral Agent to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.


 


(b)          The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any representation or warranty
regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, (ii) the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative
Agent’s Lien thereon, or (iii) any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative
Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

GUARANTY


 


Section
10.01.         Guaranty; Limitation of Liability.


 


(a)          Each
Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due,
whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations
of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents and the Hedge Agreements (including
any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct
or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action,
costs, expenses or otherwise except, with respect to any Guarantor, all Excluded Swap Obligations (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed
Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses of such Guarantor (including fees and expenses of counsel)
incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Guaranteed
Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute
part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Guaranteed Party under or in respect of the
Guaranteed Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization
or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.


 


(b)          Each
Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each other Guaranteed Party, hereby confirms that
it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Guaranteed Parties and the Guarantors
hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum
amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.


 




     131


     


    

  


(c)          Each
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Guaranteed
Party under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts
to each other Guarantor and each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Guaranteed Parties under or
in respect of the Guaranteed Documents.


 


Section
10.02.         Guaranty Absolute.
Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Guaranteed
Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms
or the rights of any Guaranteed Party with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty
are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Guaranteed
Documents or Hedge Agreements, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce
this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrowers
or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be
irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now
have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:


 


(a)          any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;


 


(b)          any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Guaranteed Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
consent to departure from any Guaranteed Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension
of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise;


 


(c)          any
taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver
of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;


 


(d)          any
manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Guaranteed Documents or any other Property of any Loan Party;


 


(e)          any
change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party;


 




     132


     


    

  


(f)           any
failure of any Guaranteed Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or
otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Guaranteed
Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Guaranteed Parties to disclose such information);


 


(g)          the
failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction
of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or


 


(h)          any
other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Guaranteed
Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.


 


This Guaranty shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be returned by any Guaranteed Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrowers or any
other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.


 


Section
10.03.         Waivers and Acknowledgments.


 


(a)          Each
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance,
notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Guaranteed Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any
property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.


 


(b)          Each
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is
continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.


 


(c)          Each
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon
an election of remedies by any Guaranteed Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor
to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense
based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.


 


(d)          Each
Guarantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the
liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives
any defense to the recovery by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after
such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.


 




     133


     


    

  


(e)          Each
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Guaranteed Party to disclose to such Guarantor
any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or
prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known by such Guaranteed Party.


 


(f)           Each
Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing and hedging arrangements
contemplated by the Guaranteed Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 10.02 and this Section 10.03 are
knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.


 


Section
10.04.         Subrogation.
Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire
against the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance
or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Guaranteed Document, including
any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim
or remedy of any Guaranteed Party against the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral,
whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take
or receive from the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property
or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of
Credit shall have expired or been terminated and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be
paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment
in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (b) the Term Facility Maturity
Date, and (c) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, such amount shall be received and held
in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall
forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or
assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Guaranteed Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed
Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to any
Guaranteed Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts
payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, (iii) the Term Facility Maturity Date shall have occurred,
and (iv) all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Guaranteed Parties will, at such Guarantor’s
request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation
or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations
resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.


 


Section
10.05.         Subordination.
Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations (other than, for the avoidance of doubt,
amounts or other Obligations due under the Zone J Power Purchase Agreements) owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the
“Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter
set forth in this Section 10.05:


 




     134


     


    

  


(a)          Non-permitted
Payments, Etc. Each Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated
Obligations; provided that, from and after the occurrence during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon the written
request of the Collateral Agent acting in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take
any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.


 


(b)          Prior
Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Code relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor
agrees that the Guaranteed Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including
all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Code, whether or not constituting
an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post-Petition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment
of any Subordinated Obligations.


 


(c)          Turn-Over.
After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, each Guarantor shall, if the Collateral Agent so requests, collect,
enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Guaranteed Parties and deliver such
payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together
with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability
of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.


 


(d)          Collateral
Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent is authorized
and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and
enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed
Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce,
and to submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to
the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest).


 


Section
10.06.         Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.
This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until a Repayment Event, (b) be
binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Guaranteed
Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately
preceding sentence, any Lender Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or any portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it, and any Note or Notes held by it) to any
other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender
Party herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 11.06. No Guarantor shall have the right
to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Guaranteed Parties.


 




     135


     


    

  


Section
10.07.         Keepwell.
Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time this Guaranty by any Specified Loan Party becomes effective with
respect to any Swap Obligation hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide
such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified
Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such
Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering
such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Article X voidable under applicable law relating
to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified
ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed
to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of,
each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(a)          Costs
and Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in
connection with the syndication of the Facilities, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, (ii) all

a whole), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including its rights under this Section 11.02.


 


(b)          Indemnification
by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each
Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable and documented
costs, expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any one firm of counsel for the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank collectively, (if applicable) one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all
such persons and, in the case of a conflict of interest between such persons, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction
to each group of such affected persons similarly situated taken as a whole), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any
Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrowers or any other Loan Party), other than by such Indemnitee and its Related Parties
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any indemnified liabilities, including any indemnified liabilities with respect
to (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby
or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Advance or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds
therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented
in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or Release of Hazardous Materials with respect to the Project or otherwise on or from any Real Estate Asset or any actual

any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrowers
or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against
an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the
Borrowers or such Loan Party has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction. This Section 11.02(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent
losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.


 




     138


     


    

  


(c)          Reimbursement
by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a)
or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), without prejudice to
the Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder in respect of the same, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party
of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing
Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the
time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit
Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender);
provided that with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender solely in its capacity
as such, only the Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such payment to be made severally among them based on such
Lenders’ Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) provided, further, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing
Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative
Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the
Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(c).


 


(d)          Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or Letter
of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for
any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby.


 


(e)          Payments.
All amounts due under this Section 11.02 shall be payable promptly, but in any event, not later than ten days after demand
therefor.


 


(f)           Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.02 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment
of the obligations hereunder.


 




     139


     


    

  


(g)          Break-Funding.
If for any reason (i) any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made
by the Borrowers to or for the account of a Lender on a date prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar
Rate Advance, (ii) the Borrowers fails to make any payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance for which a notice of
prepayment has been given (even if subsequently revoked as permitted by Section 2.04(a)) or that is otherwise required to
be made or (iii) a Borrowing of a Eurodollar Rate Advance does not occur on the date specified therefor in the relevant Funding
Notice or telephonic request for Borrowing, or a Conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Advance does not occur on
the date specified therefor in the relevant Conversion/Continuation Notice or telephonic request for Conversion or continuation,
the Borrowers shall, in each case and upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), compensate
such Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (but excluding any anticipated profits). In the case of a
Eurodollar Rate Advance, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably
determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for
a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Advance for the period from the date of such payment, conversion or failure to
the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Advance (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue
a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation)
if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the
amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits in Dollars
from other banks in the eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period.


 


Section
11.03.         Cash Collateral.
At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative
Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrowers shall, to the extent of available cash pursuant
to Section 4.11(a)(ii), Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender
(determined after giving effect to Section 4.11(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an
amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.


 


(a)          Grant
of Security Interest. The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in
all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Commitments,
to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral
is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or
that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand
by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate
such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 


 


(b)          Application.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 11.03
or Section 4.10 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation
to fund participations in respect of Revolving Commitments and L/C Advances (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting
Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application
of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.


 




     140


     


    

  


(c)          Termination
of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure
shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.03 following (i) the elimination
of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the
determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that,
subject to Section 4.10 the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall
be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such
Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrowers, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant
to the Loan Documents.


 


Section
11.04.         Set-Off.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit
or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective
Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or
are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding
such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any
such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application
in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender
from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders,
and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail
the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each
Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees
to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section
11.06.         Successors and Assigns; Participations.


 


(a)          Successors
and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto

assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest
subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by
any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided
in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.


 


(b)          Assignments

each case with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:


 


(i)          Minimum

at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment

purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding
balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment
and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving
Facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent
and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consents (each such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that any assignment by the Swingline Lender must be an assignment
of all Swingline Advances.


 


(ii)         Proportionate
Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii)
shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro
rata basis.


 


(iii)        Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B)
of this Section and, in addition:


 


(A)         the
consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (w) an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (x) such assignment of Term Commitments or Term Advances
is to a Term Lender, an Affiliate of a Term Lender, an Approved Fund or (y) such assignment of Revolving Commitments or L/C

be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent
within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further, that notwithstanding
the foregoing and for so long as the Sponsor owns any direct or indirect interest in any Loan Party, the Borrowers’ consent
shall be required for any assignment to a Sponsor-Related Party, Macquarie Group Ltd. or an Affiliate of Macquarie Group Ltd.,
which consent may be granted or withheld in the Borrowers’ sole discretion;


 




     145


     


    

  


(B)         the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments
in respect of (x) any Facility or any unfunded Commitments with respect to such Facility if such assignment is to a Person
that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect
to such Lender, or (y) any Advances to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and


 


(C)         the
consent of each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Facility.


 


(iv)        Assignment
and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 paid by the assigning Lender (or the assignee); provided that the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.
The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.


 


(v)         No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any natural Person, (B) any Defaulting Lender
or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons
described in this clause (B) or (C) any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower.


 


(vi)        Certain
Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such
assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the
assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution
thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other
compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata
Share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor
hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to
the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon),
and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participations in Letters of
Credit and Swingline Advances in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance
with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes
of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.


 




     146


     


    

  


Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits
of Sections 4.04 and 11.02 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date
of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment
by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.


 


(c)          Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in
New York, New York, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.


 


(d)          Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 4.06(e) with
respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).


 




     147


     


    

  


Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver with respect to provisions relating to amendments requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders that affects such Participant.
The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.04, 11.02(g) and 4.06
(subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.06(g) (it being understood
that the documentation required under Section 4.06(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided
that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.08(b) as if it were an assignee under
paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.04
or 4.06, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except
to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired
the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use
reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.08(b) with respect to any Participant.
To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.04 as though it were
a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.07 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender
that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it
enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest
in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of
any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its
other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
such commitment, loan, letter of credit 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.


 


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


 


Section
11.07.         Independence of Covenants.
All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any
of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another
covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.


 


Section
11.08.         Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.
All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any
Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Loan Party set forth
in Sections 4.04, 4.06, 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04 and the agreements of Lender Parties
set forth in Sections 4.07, 9.03 and 4.06(e) shall survive the payment of the Advances, the cancellation
or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof.


 




     148


     


    

  


Section
11.09.         No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof
or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender Party hereby are
cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or
rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or Commodity Hedge and Power Sale Agreements.
Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any
such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right,
power or remedy.


 


Section
11.10.         Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.
Neither any Agent nor any Lender Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other
Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments
to the Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lender Parties), or any Agent
or Lender Party enforces any security interests or exercise its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds
of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal
law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended
to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.


 


Section
11.11.         Severability.
In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or
obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


 


Section
11.12.         Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lender Parties’
Rights. The obligations of the Lender Parties hereunder are several and no Lender
Party shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender Party hereunder. Nothing contained herein or
in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by the Lender Parties pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute
the Lender Parties as a partnership, an association, a Joint Venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time
hereunder to each Lender Party shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender Party shall be entitled to protect and
enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender Party to be joined as an additional party
in any proceeding for such purpose.


 


Section
11.13.         Headings.
Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other
purpose or be given any substantive effect.


 




     149


     


    

  


Section
11.14.         Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Etc..


 


(a)          Governing

in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

Section
11.16.         Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood
that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to
have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal
process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other
Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder
or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any
assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties or any broker for such party) to any swap, derivative
or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and its obligations, this Agreement or
payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrowers or its Subsidiaries
or the Facilities or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of
CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facilities; (h) with the consent of the Borrowers; or (i) to the extent such Information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than
the Borrowers.


 


For purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party relating to Holdings,
the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available
to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or
any other Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party after
the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain
the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so
if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord
to its own confidential information.


 




     151


     


    

  


Section
11.17.         Usury Savings Clause.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including
all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest
Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds
the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Advances made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate
until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated
rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Advances made hereunder
are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total
amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all
times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal
to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful
Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lender Parties and the Borrowers
to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender Party contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration
which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if
previously paid, shall at such Lender Party’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Advances made hereunder
or be refunded to the Borrowers.


 


Section
11.18.         Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.


 


(a)          Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts
hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall
be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.


 


(b)          Electronic
Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like
import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of
a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or
any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.


 


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


 




     152


     


    

  


Section
11.20.         Intercreditor Agreement.
Each Lender Party hereby acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself that the Lien priorities and other matters related to the
Loan Documents and the Collateral are subject to and governed by the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender Party, by delivering
its signature page hereto, funding its Advances on the Closing Date and/or executing an Assignment and Assumption (as applicable)
shall be deemed to have (a) acknowledged receipt of, consented to and approved of the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) authorized
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to perform their respective obligations thereunder.


 


Section
11.21.         No Other Duties.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any
powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable,
as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.


 


Section
11.22.         Non-Recourse.
The provisions of Section 9.19 of the Intercreditor Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference and shall apply to this
Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if fully set forth herein. The provisions set forth in this Section 11.22 (or incorporated
herein by reference) shall survive a Repayment Event and the termination of all Commitments and the earlier termination of the
Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement and this Agreement.


 


Section
11.23.         Other Agreements.
Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided
by each Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lender Parties are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Loan
Parties, on the one hand, and each Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lender Parties, on the other hand, (ii) each Loan
Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) each
Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b) (i) each Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lender Parties each is
and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is
not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates or any other Person
and (ii) no Agent, Joint Lead Arranger or Lender Party has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents;
and (c) the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lender Parties, and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a
broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates,
and none of the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lender Parties has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to
any Loan Party or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims
that it may have against the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lender Parties with respect to any breach or alleged breach
of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
