and WM Quebec Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada (“WMQ”,
and together with WMOCC, the “Canadian Borrowers”, and the Canadian Borrowers together with the Company, the “Borrowers”,

Company (the “Guarantor”), the lenders from time to time party hereto (the “Banks”) and BANK
OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).


 


A.            The
Borrowers, Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Existing Banks”) entered
into that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of November 7, 2019 (as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Existing Banks
have made available to the Borrowers a revolving credit facility, with a letter of credit sub-facility and a swing loan sub-facility.


 


B.            As
further provided herein and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, the Banks and the Administrative Agent have agreed to reallocate
the Commitment and Commitment Percentages of each of the Banks as set forth on Schedule 1.


 


C.            The
Borrowers and the Guarantor have requested that the Existing Credit Agreement be further amended and restated, among other things, to
extend the maturity date and make certain other changes as set forth herein, and the Administrative Agent and the Banks are willing to
make such amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement.


 


In consideration of the
mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:


 


(i)            Simultaneously
with the Effective Date and after giving effect to any assignments on the Effective Date from Existing Banks under the Existing Credit
Agreement who elect not to become Banks under this Agreement, but immediately prior to giving effect to paragraph (iv) below,
the parties hereby agree that (A) the Commitment of each of the Banks shall be as set forth in Schedule 1, and the outstanding
amount of the Loans (as defined in and under the Existing Credit Agreement, without giving effect to any Borrowings of Loans under this
Agreement on the Effective Date, but after giving effect to any repayment or reduction thereof with the proceeds of any applicable sources)
shall be reallocated in accordance with such Commitments, and the requisite assignments shall be deemed to be made in such amounts among
the Banks and from each Bank to each other Bank (including from Banks who reduce their commitments in connection with this Agreement),
with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by applicable Assignments and Assumptions (as defined in the Existing
Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement, but without the payment of any related assignment fee and (B) the swing line
subfacility under the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue as the swing line subfacility hereunder, with the Swing Line Sublimit
set out herein, and the Swing Line Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), if any, shall continue as and be deemed to be
Swing Line Loans hereunder, and (C) the letter of credit subfacility provided in the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue as
the Letter of Credit facility hereunder and the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder.


 






    - 1 -


     


    

 


(ii)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in §20 of the Existing Credit Agreement or §20 of this Agreement, no other documents or instruments,
including any Assignment and Assumption, shall be executed in connection with these assignments (all of which requirements are hereby
waived), and such assignments shall be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced
by an Assignment and Assumption. On the Effective Date, the applicable Banks shall make full cash settlement with one another (including
with any Bank whose commitments are being decreased), either directly or through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent
may direct or approve, with respect to all assignments, reallocations and other changes in Commitments, such that after giving effect
to such settlements (A) the Commitment of each Bank shall be as set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement, (B) each
Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the Total Commitment equals (with customary rounding) its Commitment Percentage of (x) the
outstanding amount of all Loans, and (y) the outstanding amount of all Letters of Credit.


 


(iii)          The
Borrowers, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Banks hereby agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms
and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement which in any manner govern or evidence the Obligations, the rights and interests of the
Administrative Agent and the Banks and any terms, conditions or matters related to any thereof, shall be and hereby are amended and restated
in their entirety by the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, and the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be superseded by this Agreement.


 


(iv)          Notwithstanding
this amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement and any related Loan Documents (as such term is defined in the Existing
Credit Agreement and referred to herein, individually or collectively, as the “Existing Loan Documents”), (A) all
of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations owing by any Person under the Existing Credit Agreement and other Existing Loan Documents
outstanding as of the Effective Date shall continue as Obligations hereunder, (B) each of this Agreement and the Notes and the other
Loan Documents is given as a substitution or supplement of, as the case may be, and not as a payment of, the indebtedness, liabilities
and obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantor under the Existing Credit Agreement or any Existing Loan Document and is not intended
to constitute a novation thereof or of any of the other Existing Loan Documents, and (C) certain of the Existing Loan Documents
will remain in full force and effect, as set forth in this Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement all loans outstanding
and owing by the Company under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date, shall constitute Loans hereunder accruing interest
with respect to the Base Rate Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement, and as Base Rate Loans hereunder. The parties hereto agree that
the Interest Periods for all Eurocurrency Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement
on the Effective Date shall be terminated, the Borrowers shall pay (on the Effective Date) all accrued interest with respect to such
Loans, and the Company shall furnish to the Administrative Agent interest rate selection notices for existing Loans and borrowing notices
for additional Loans as may be required in connection with the allocation of Loans among Banks in accordance with their Commitment Percentages.
The Administrative Agent and the Existing Banks agree that the transactions contemplated in these recitals shall not give rise to any
obligation of the Borrowers or the Guarantor to make any payment under §5.8 of the Existing Credit Agreement.

§2.     THE
LOAN FACILITIES.


 


§2.1.   Committed
Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Bank severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Committed
Loan”) to the Borrowers in Dollars or Canadian Dollars from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period,
in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Bank’s Commitment; provided, however,
that after giving effect to any Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Commitments, (ii) the Revolving
Credit Exposure of any Bank shall not exceed such Bank’s Commitment, and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Loans
made in Canadian Dollars shall not exceed the Canadian Dollar Sublimit. Within the limits of each Bank’s Commitment, and subject
to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this §2.1, prepay under §2.7, and re-borrow
under this §2.1. Committed Loans in U.S. Dollars may be Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans and Committed Loans in Canadian
Dollars may be Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, as further provided herein.


 


§2.2.   Fees.
In addition to certain fees described herein:


 


§2.2.1            Facility
Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank in accordance with its Commitment Percentage,
a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount of
the Total Commitments (or, if the Total Commitments have terminated, on the Outstanding Amount of all Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans
and L/C Obligations), regardless of usage, subject to adjustment as provided in §2.17. The Facility Fee shall accrue at all
times during the Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding),
including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in §§10 or 11 is not met, and shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter commencing
with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period (and, if applicable, thereafter
on demand). The Facility Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter,
the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect.


 


§2.2.2            Other
Fees. The Company shall pay to (a) the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars,
fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the fee letters between the Company and the Lead Arrangers and (b) the Banks,
in Dollars, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall
be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

§2.3.   Reduction
and Increase of Total Commitment.


 


§2.3.1            Reduction
of Total Commitment.


 


(a)            The
Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent to reduce by $25,000,000 or a greater amount, or terminate entirely, the Total Commitment, whereupon each Bank’s Commitment
shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such notice or,
as the case may be, terminated; provided that at no time may the Total Commitment be reduced to an amount less than the sum of
(A) the Maximum Drawing Amount of all Letters of Credit (other than the amount of cash collateral or other credit support satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Bank that the Borrowers have provided to secure Reimbursement Obligations prior
to or concurrently with such termination which would exceed the Total Commitment), and (B) all Loans then outstanding.


 


(b)            No
reduction or termination of the Total Commitment once made may be revoked; the portion of the Total Commitment reduced or terminated
may not be reinstated; and amounts in respect of such reduced or terminated portion may not be re-borrowed. If, after giving effect to
any reduction of the Total Commitment, the Canadian Letter of Credit Sublimit, or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Total
Commitment, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.


 


(c)            The
Administrative Agent will notify the Banks promptly after receiving any notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this §2.3.1
and will distribute to each Bank a revised Schedule 1 to this Agreement.


 


§2.3.2            Increase
of Total Commitment. Unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may request, subject to the
approval of the Administrative Agent, that the Total Commitment be increased, provided that such increase shall not, except with
the consent of the Majority Banks, in any event exceed $1,000,000,000 plus the amount, if any, by which the Total Commitment has
been reduced as a result of the termination of the Commitments of any Bank pursuant to §2.18 hereunder; provided, however,
that (a) any Bank which is a party to this Agreement prior to such increase shall have the first option, and may elect, to fund
its pro rata share of the increase, thereby increasing its Commitment hereunder, but no Bank shall have any obligation to do so, (b) in
the event that it becomes necessary to include a new Bank to provide additional funding under this §2.3.2, such new Bank
must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Company and shall become a Bank pursuant to a joinder
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel, and (c) the Banks’ Commitment Percentages
shall be correspondingly adjusted, as necessary, to reflect any increase in the Total Commitment and Schedule 1 shall be amended
to reflect such adjustments. At the time of requesting any such increase, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent)
shall specify the time period within which each Bank is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days
from the date of delivery of such request to the Banks unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent). Each Bank shall notify
the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount
equal to, greater than, or less than its Commitment Percentage of such requested increase. Any Bank not responding within such time period
shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. If the Total Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final
allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Banks of the final allocation of such
increase and the Increase Effective Date. Any such increase in the Total Commitment shall require, among other things, the satisfaction
of such conditions precedent as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require, including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent’s
receipt of evidence of applicable corporate authorization and other corporate documentation from the Borrowers and the Guarantor and
the legal opinion of counsel to the Borrowers and the Guarantor, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and such Banks as are participating in such increase. The Borrowers shall prepay that portion of any Committed Loans outstanding on the
effective date of any such increase to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Commitment
Percentages arising from any non-ratable increase in the Total Commitments under this Section. This Section shall supersede any
provisions in §2.12 or §15.9 to the contrary.

§2.4.   Borrowings,
Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.


 


§2.4.1            Each
Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency
Term Rate Loans shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone
or (B) a Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative
Agent of a Committed Loan Notice. Each such Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (x) 11:00
a.m. (i) two Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans
or of any conversion of Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans, (ii) four Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing
of, conversion to or continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans or of any conversion of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans
to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and (iii) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans
and (y) 1:00 p.m. on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation
of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing
of, conversion to or continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of C$10,000,000 or a whole multiple
of C$1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in §§2.3.3 and 2.4.3, each Borrowing of or conversion to
Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or
conversion to Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of C$500,000 or a whole multiple of C$100,000 in excess thereof.
Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Company is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from
one Type to the other, or a continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of
the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed
Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans
are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, (vi) the currency of the
Committed Loans to be borrowed, and (vii) the applicable Borrower. If the Company fails to specify a currency in a Committed Loan
Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Committed Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Company fails to specify a Type
of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Company fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation,
then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that (i) in
the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Canadian
Prime Rate Loans. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans, with respect to Loans in Dollars, and Canadian Prime Rate Loans, with
respect to Loans in Canadian Dollars, shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the
applicable Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans. If the Company requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation
of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period,
it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Committed Loan may be converted into or continued as a Committed
Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Committed Loan and re-borrowed
in the other currency.

§2.4.2            Following
receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the amount (and currency) of its Commitment
Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Company, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans
or continuation of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing,
each Bank shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s
Office for the applicable currency not later than 3:00 p.m., in the case of any Committed Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later
than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Committed Loan in Canadian Dollars, in each case on
the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in §11
(and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, §10), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received
available to the Company or the other applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting
the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds,
in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the applicable Borrower;
provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the applicable
Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding in the same currency as such Borrowing, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first,
shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower
as provided above.


 


§2.4.3            Except
as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last
day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, as applicable. During the existence of a Default,
no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans without the consent
of the Administrative Agent.


 


§2.4.4            The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Banks of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Term
SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.


 


§2.4.5            After
giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans
as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.


 


§2.4.6            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Bank may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Loans in connection
with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless
settlement mechanism approved by the Company, the Administrative Agent, and such Bank.


 


§2.4.7            With
respect to Term SOFR, SOFR Daily Floating Rate, SOFR, CDOR, CDOR Rate or the Alternative Currency Term Rate, the Administrative Agent
will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other
Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any
other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative
Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Banks reasonably promptly after such
amendment becomes effective.

Company from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding
the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Commitment Percentage
of the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Bank acting as Swing Line Bank, may exceed the amount of such
Bank’s Commitment; provided, however, that (x) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings
shall not exceed the Total Commitments, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Bank shall not exceed such Bank’s Commitment,
(y) the Company shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (z) the
Swing Line Bank shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive
and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits,
and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this §2.5, prepay under §2.7,
and re-borrow under this §2.5. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making
of a Swing Line Loan, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line
Bank a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage times
the amount of such Swing Line Loan.


 


§2.5.2            Borrowing
Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Bank and the Administrative
Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Request; provided that any telephonic notice must be
confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Request. Each such Swing Line
Loan Request must be received by the Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing
date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing
date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Bank of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Request, the Swing
Line Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such
Swing Line Loan Request and, if not, the Swing Line Bank will notify the Administrative Agent of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing
Line Bank has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Bank) prior
to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Bank not to make such Swing Line
Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of §2.5.1, or (B) that one
or more of the applicable conditions specified in §§10 or 11 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Bank will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan
Request, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Company at its office by crediting the account of the Company on the
books of the Swing Line Bank in Same Day Funds.

§2.5.3            Refinancing
of Swing Line Loans.


 


(a)            The
Swing Line Bank at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing
Line Bank to so request on its behalf), that each Bank make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage
of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be
a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of §2.4, without regard to the minimum
and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Commitments
and the conditions set forth in §11. The Swing Line Bank shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Committed
Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Bank shall make an amount equal to its Commitment
Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative
Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Bank at the
Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 3:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed
Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to §2.5.3(b), each Bank that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base
Rate Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Bank.


 


(b)            If
for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with §2.5.3(a), the request for
Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Bank as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Bank that each
of the Banks fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Bank’s payment to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Swing Line Bank pursuant to §2.5.3(a) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.


 


(c)            If
any Bank fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank any amount required to be paid by
such Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this §2.5.3 by the time specified in §2.5.3(a), the Swing Line
Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon
for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Bank
at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar
fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Bank pays such amount (with interest and fees
as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Bank’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation
in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Bank submitted to any Bank (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(d)            Each
Bank’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this §2.5.3
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Bank may have against the Swing Line Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever,
(B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Bank’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this §2.5.3
is subject to the conditions set forth in §11. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair
the obligation of the Company to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.


 


§2.5.4            Repayment
of Participations.


 


(a)            At
any time after any Bank has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Bank receives any payment
on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Bank will distribute to such Bank its Commitment Percentage thereof in the same funds
as those received by the Swing Line Bank.


 






    - 33 -


     


    

 


(b)           If
any payment received by the Swing Line Bank in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by
the Swing Line Bank under any of the circumstances described in §33 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by
the Swing Line Bank in its discretion), each Bank shall pay to the Swing Line Bank its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal
to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Bank. The obligations
of the Banks under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.


 


§2.5.5            Interest
for Account of Swing Line Bank. The Swing Line Bank shall be responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Swing Line
Loans. Until each Bank funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this §2.5 to refinance such Bank’s
Commitment Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Commitment Percentage shall be solely for the account of the
Swing Line Bank.


 


§2.5.6            Payments
Directly to Swing Line Bank. The Company shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly
to the Swing Line Bank.


 


§2.6.   Letters
of Credit.


 


§2.6.1            Letter
of Credit Commitments.


 


(a)            Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof and the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a written notice in the form of Exhibit F
hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) appropriately completed and signed by an authorized officer of the applicable
Borrower reflecting the Maximum Drawing Amount of all Letters of Credit (including the requested Letter of Credit), and receipt by an
Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, of a Letter of Credit Application appropriately completed and signed by an authorized
officer of the applicable Borrower, such Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Banks and in reliance upon the representations and warranties
of the Borrowers contained herein and the agreement of the Banks contained in §2.6.1(c) hereof, agrees to issue standby
Letters of Credit (including so-called “direct pay” standby Letters of Credit) for the account of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (which may, with such Issuing Bank’s consent, incorporate automatic renewals for periods of up to twelve (12) months),
in such form as may be requested from time to time by the applicable Borrower and agreed to by such Issuing Bank; provided, however,
that, after giving effect to such request, the aggregate Maximum Drawing Amount of all Letters of Credit issued at any time shall not
exceed the Total Commitment minus the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans; provided further, that (i) no Letter
of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the earlier of (A) eighteen (18) months after the date of issuance (which may
incorporate automatic renewals for periods of up to twelve (12) months), or (B) five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity
Date; (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (A) 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 the Letter
of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters
of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to the Letter of Credit
any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder or otherwise) not
in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable
on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, (B) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would
violate one or more material policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally applied on a consistent basis to
similarly situated letter of credit applicants, or (C) any Bank is at that time a Defaulting Bank, unless (x) such Issuing
Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral or other credit support, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank
(in its sole discretion), with the applicable Borrower or such Bank to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or potential fronting
exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank, or (y) such actual or potential fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting
Bank has been reallocated to Banks that are non-Defaulting Banks pursuant to clause (d) of §2.17.1 and (iii) the
aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit issued by any one Issuing Bank in Dollars or, subject to the terms of §2.6.1(e) hereof,
Canadian Dollars, as applicable, shall not at any time exceed the amount set forth opposite the name of such Issuing Bank on Schedule 2.6.1
hereto, as such amount may be increased (in the sole discretion of such Issuing Bank) or decreased (if so agreed by such Issuing
Bank and the Borrower by the execution and delivery by such Issuing Bank, the Company, the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent of
an instrument in substantially the form of Schedule 2.6.1(a) hereto. Each Issuing Bank will promptly (and in accordance
with §2.6.5) confirm to the Administrative Agent the issuance of each Letter of Credit specifying the face amount thereof,
and any increase, decrease, extension or termination of any Letter of Credit.


 






    - 34 -


     


    

 



 


(b)            Each
Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or, in accordance with and subject to the terms of §2.6.1(e) hereof,
in Canadian Dollars.


 


(c)            Each
Bank severally agrees that it shall be absolutely liable, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, the termination
of the Total Commitment pursuant to §12.2, or any other condition precedent or circumstance whatsoever (other than as stated
in the next sentence hereof), to the extent of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage (computed after the termination of the Total Commitment
in accordance with the Commitment Percentage in effect immediately prior to such Termination), to reimburse each Issuing Bank on demand
for the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to the extent that such
amount is not reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to §2.6.2 (such agreement of a Bank being called herein the “Letter
of Credit Participation” of such Bank). Each Bank agrees that its obligation to reimburse each Issuing Bank pursuant to this
§2.6.1(c) shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever other than the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Issuing Bank; provided that the making of a payment under a Letter of Credit against documents that appear
on their face to substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit shall not be deemed to be gross negligence
or willful misconduct.


 


(d)            Each
such reimbursement payment made by a Bank to an Issuing Bank shall be made to an account of such Issuing Bank in the United States of
America and shall be treated as the purchase by such Bank of a participating interest in the applicable Reimbursement Obligation under
§2.6.2 in an amount equal to such payment. Each Bank shall share in accordance with its participating interest in any interest
which accrues pursuant to §2.6.2.


 


(e)            (i) 
The applicable Borrower shall be entitled to request that one or more Letters of Credit be denominated in Canadian Dollars for the account
of a Borrower or any Canadian Subsidiary of the applicable Borrower (each a “Canadian Dollar Letter of Credit”); provided
that (i) the aggregate undrawn face amount of all Canadian Dollar Letters of Credit may not exceed the Canadian Letter of Credit
Sublimit at any time, (ii) each Canadian Dollar Letter of Credit shall provide for payment of any drawing thereunder on a date not
earlier than three Business Days after the relevant Issuing Bank determines that the documents submitted in connection with such drawing
appear on their face to substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit (or such shorter period of time as
may be agreeable to the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer in its sole discretion), and (iii) all Canadian Dollar Letters of Credit
shall be issued by a Canadian L/C Issuer.


 






    - 35 -


     


    

 


(ii)            The
Letter of Credit Application in respect of each Canadian Dollar Letter of Credit shall be signed by the applicable Borrower; provided
that nothing therein shall be deemed to alter the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement in respect of any drawing under
any such Letter of Credit.


 


(iii)            If
a Canadian L/C Issuer makes a payment in Canadian Dollars pursuant to a Canadian Dollar Letter of Credit, such Borrower shall reimburse
the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer in Canadian Dollars or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof in Dollars, upon such Borrower’s election
in a notice to the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer.


 


(f)            As
of the Effective Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to be Letters of Credit for all purposes of this
Agreement, having the respective face amounts specified in Schedule 2.6.1(f) hereof.


 


(g)            The
parties acknowledge and agree that (i) certain of the Existing Letters of Credit have been issued by Bank Affiliates of Issuing
Banks identified in Schedule 2.6.1(f) hereof, and that (ii) the Canadian L/C Issuers may hereafter comply with the provisions
of §2.6.1 in respect of the issuance of Canadian Dollar Letters of Credit by arranging for a Bank Affiliate of such Canadian
L/C Issuer organized under the laws of Canada to issue such Canadian Dollar Letter of Credit (each Letter of Credit issued by a Bank
Affiliate of such Canadian L/C Issuer as provided herein being herein referred to as a “Bank Affiliate Letter of Credit”),
provided that the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer shall, prior to such issuance, have notified the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Borrower of the identity of such Bank Affiliate. The parties agree that (1) each Bank Affiliate Letter of Credit is and
shall be a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement; (2) each reference in the definition of “Reimbursement
Obligation” and in §2.6.2, §2.6.3 and §2.6.4 to an Issuing Bank shall be deemed to include
the issuer of each such Bank Affiliate Letter of Credit; (3) notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance, extension or renewal of
each Letter of Credit shall remain subject to the conditions and requirements of §2.6.1 and §11, and each provision
of this Agreement, including without limitation the last sentence of §2.6.1(a) and §2.6.5, requiring the
giving of a notice hereunder by or to an Issuing Bank shall be deemed to refer to the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer and not to such
Bank Affiliate; and (4) the obligations of the Banks, the Borrower and the Guarantor to the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer shall,
in the case of each Bank Affiliate Letter of Credit, inure to the benefit of the Bank Affiliate issuing or having issued such Bank Affiliate
Letter of Credit and be enforceable by such Bank Affiliate and/or by the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer on behalf of such Bank Affiliate.
Each Canadian Dollar Letter of Credit issued by a Canadian Bank Affiliate of a Canadian L/C Issuer shall be issued on a Business Day
which is not a day on which banking institutions in Toronto and Montreal, Canada are authorized by law to close.


 


(h)            Unless
otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement
applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

§2.6.2            Reimbursement
Obligation of the Borrowers. In order to induce the Issuing Banks to issue, extend and renew each Letter of Credit, the applicable
Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse or pay to each Issuing Bank, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed by
such Issuing Bank hereunder, as follows:


 


(a)            if
any draft presented under any Letter of Credit is honored by such Issuing Bank or such Issuing Bank otherwise makes payment with respect
thereto, the sum of (i) the amount paid by such Issuing Bank under or with respect to such Letter of Credit (and in the case of
a payment in Canadian Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in Canadian Dollars or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent
thereof in Dollars, upon such Borrower’s election in a notice to the applicable Issuing Bank), and (ii) the amount of any
taxes, fees, charges or other costs and expenses whatsoever incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with any payment made by such
Issuing Bank under, or with respect to, such Letter of Credit; provided, however, if the applicable Borrower does not reimburse
such Issuing Bank on the Drawdown Date, such amount shall, provided that no Event of Default under §§12.1(g) or
12.1(h) has occurred, become automatically a Base Rate Committed Loan advanced hereunder in an amount equal to such sum (and
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks upon receipt of the notice thereof from the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to §2.6.5,
which notice shall be deemed to constitute a Committed Loan Request and satisfy the requirements of §2.6); and


 


(b)            upon
the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business
Day) or the acceleration of the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit in accordance with §12, an
amount equal to the then Maximum Drawing Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be paid by the applicable Borrower to the
Administrative Agent to be held as cash collateral for the applicable Reimbursement Obligations, and the applicable Borrower hereby grants
to the Administrative Agent a security interest therein.


 


§2.6.3            Obligations
Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this §2.6 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances
and irrespective of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff, counterclaim
or defense to payment which such Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Bank, any Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit,
and each Borrower expressly waives any such rights that it may have with respect thereto. Each Borrower further agrees with each Issuing
Bank and the Banks that such Issuing Bank and the Banks (i) shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’s Reimbursement
Obligations under §2.6.2 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any
endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged (unless
due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank or any other Bank), or any dispute between or among a Borrower
and the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred
or any claims or defenses whatsoever of a Borrower against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee, and (ii) shall
not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit except to the extent of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined
in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by
any Issuing Bank or any Bank in good faith under or in connection with any Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents shall
be binding upon such Borrower and shall not result in any liability on the part of such Issuing Bank or any Bank (or their respective
affiliates) to such Borrower. Nothing herein shall constitute a waiver by a Borrower of any of its rights against any beneficiary of
a Letter of Credit.

§2.6.4            Reliance
by the Issuing Banks. To the extent not inconsistent with §2.6.3, each Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall
be fully protected in relying, upon any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by such Issuing Bank in good faith
to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Issuing Bank.


 


§2.6.5            Notice
Regarding Letters of Credit. At least one (1) Business Day (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such
Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any amendment,
extension or termination thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent of the terms of such Letter of Credit,
amendment, extension or termination. In the case of any such issuance, amendment or extension, the Administrative Agent will promptly
notify such Issuing Bank whether such issuance, amendment or extension is permissible under the limitation set forth in the proviso to
§2.1 and, upon the issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the
Administrative Agent within twenty-four hours thereof. On the day of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such drawing, specifying the amount thereof, and on the day of any payment under any Letter of Credit
(or failure of a Borrower to reimburse such drawing in accordance with §2.6.2), such Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such payment (or failure), specifying the amount thereof and, in the case of failure by a Borrower to pay under a Canadian Dollar
Letter of Credit, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof. Additionally, each Issuing Bank shall no later than 9:00 a.m. two (2) Business
Day prior to the last day of each month, provide to Administrative Agent a schedule of all Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party,
the original face amount (if any), the Maximum Drawing Amount, the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit
outstanding at any time during each month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the applicable Borrower to such Issuing
Bank during such month. Promptly after the receipt of such schedule from each Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent shall provide to
all Banks a summary aggregating the schedules received from each of the Issuing Banks. If at any time Bank of America is not the only
Canadian L/C Issuer hereunder, such other Canadian L/C Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent a summary of the current U.S. Dollar
Equivalent of each Canadian Dollar Letter of Credit issued by such Canadian L/C Issuer no later than the second Business Day of each
month.


 


§2.6.6            Letter
of Credit Fee; Fronting Fee. The Borrowers shall pay a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable
L/C Rate on the Maximum Drawing Amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks, to be shared pro rata by the
Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages; provided, that any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for
the account of a Defaulting Bank with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Bank has not provided cash collateral
or other credit support satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law,
to the other Banks in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Commitment Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit
pursuant to §2.17, with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuing Bank for its own account. The Letter of Credit
Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the third day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) of each calendar
quarter for the quarter just ended, and on the Maturity Date. In addition, a fronting fee (the “Fronting Fee”) with
respect to each Letter of Credit shall be due and payable to each Issuing Bank at a rate of 0.15% per annum of the amount available to
be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such Fronting Fee shall be payable by the Borrowers to such Issuing Bank for its account, and the
applicable Borrower shall pay directly to each applicable Issuing Bank for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment
and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time
in effect.

§2.7.            Prepayments.
§2.7.1 Each Borrower may, upon notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily
prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent and be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (x) 11:00 a.m. (A) two
Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term SOFR Loans, (B) four Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Alternative
Currency Term Rate Loans, and (C) one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (y) 1:00
pm on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000
or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (iii) any prepayment of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans shall be in a
minimum principal amount of C$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of C$1,000,000 in excess thereof; (iv) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (v) any prepayment of Canadian
Prime Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of C$500,000 or a whole multiple of C$100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if
less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date, amount and currency of such prepayment
and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans are to be prepaid,
the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt of each such notice,
and of the amount of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the applicable
Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required
pursuant to §3.5. Subject to §2.17, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Banks
in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.


 


§2.7.2            The
Company may, upon notice to the Swing Line Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily
prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by
the Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such
prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding). Each
such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such
prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.


 


§2.7.3            If
the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Total Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to 100% of
the Total Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall prepay Loans and/or
Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess; provided, however, that, subject
to the provisions of §2.16.1, the Company shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this
§2.7.3 unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the Total Commitments then in effect.
The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional
Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.


 


§2.8.            Repayment
of Loans. §2.8.1 Each Borrower shall repay to the Banks on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans
made to such Borrower outstanding on such date.


 


§2.8.2            The
Company shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the
Maturity Date. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Bank, immediately upon the request of the Swing Line Bank, the Company
shall repay the outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the Swing Line Bank in an amount sufficient to eliminate any Fronting Exposure in
respect of such Swing Line Loans.

§2.9.            Interest.
§2.9.1 Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Rate for Term SOFR Loans; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans; (iii) each
Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate
per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Canadian Prime Rate Loans; (iv) each Alternative
Currency Term Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum
equal to the Alternative Currency Term Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate, and (v) each Swing Line Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the SOFR
Daily Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate.


 


§2.9.2            (a)   If
any amount of principal and interest of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods) or any other amounts
due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise,
such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable laws.


 


(b)            If
any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by any Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to
any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Majority Banks,
such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable laws.


 


(c)            Accrued
and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.


 


§2.9.3            Interest
on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified
herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after
the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.


 


§2.9.4            For
the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a
year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such
rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number
of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed
reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein
are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert,
whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that the interest
payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to it, whether pursuant to section 4 of the
Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle.

§2.10.            Computation
of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Term
SOFR) and Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars 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 and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which
results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on
each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan
or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to §2.12.1,
bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.


 


§2.11.            Evidence
of Debt. §2.11.1 The Credit Extensions made by each Bank shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained
by such Bank in the ordinary course of business. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register in accordance with §20.
The accounts or records maintained by each Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made
by the Banks to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however,
limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event
of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Bank and the Register, the Register shall control in the absence of
manifest error. Upon the request of any Bank to a Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall execute and deliver
to such Bank (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Bank’s Loans to such Borrower in addition to
such accounts or records. Each Bank may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency
and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.


 


§2.11.2            In
addition to the accounts and records referred to in §2.11.1 above, each Bank and the Administrative Agent shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Bank of participations in Letters
of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent
and the accounts and records of any Bank in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error.


 


§2.12.            Payments
Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. §2.12.1 General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall
be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, all payments
by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Banks to which such payment is
owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date
specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and
interest on Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Banks
to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Canadian Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later
than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited
by any applicable law from making any required payment hereunder in Canadian Dollars, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars
in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian Dollar payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its
Commitment Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such
Bank’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars,
or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in Canadian Dollars, shall in each
case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment
to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day,
and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

§2.12.2            (a)   Funding
by Banks; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Bank will not make available to
the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such
share available on such date in accordance with §2.4 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime
Rate Loans, that such Bank has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by §2.4) and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Bank has not in
fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Bank and the applicable Borrower
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Bank, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar
fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made
by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans as applicable. If such Borrower and such
Bank shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Bank pays its share of the applicable
Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Bank’s Committed Loan included in such Borrowing.
Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Bank that shall have failed to
make such payment to the Administrative Agent.


 


(b)            Payments
by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior
to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks or an Issuing Bank hereunder that such
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance
herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Banks or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due.


 


With respect to any payment
that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Banks or an Issuing Bank hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable
Amount”): (1) the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a
payment in excess of the amount so paid by such Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any
reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Banks or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Bank or the Issuing Banks, in Same
Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date
of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.


 


A notice of the Administrative
Agent to any Bank or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this §2.12.2 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.


 






    - 42 -


     


    

 


§2.12.3            Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Bank makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Bank
to any Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this §2, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower
by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in §§10 and 11
are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received
from such Bank) to such Bank, without interest.


 


§2.12.4            Obligations
of Banks Several. The obligations of the Banks hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and
Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to §15.5 are several and not joint. The failure of any Bank to make any Committed
Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under §15.5 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve
any other Bank of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank
to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under §15.5.


 


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


 


§2.13.            Sharing
of Payments by Banks. If any Bank shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect
of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans
held by it resulting in such Bank’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations
and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Bank receiving such greater
proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Committed Loans and sub-participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Banks, or make such other adjustments
as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Banks ratably in accordance with the aggregate
amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:


 


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


 


(b)            the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting
Bank), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in §2.16 or (z) any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or sub-participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of
this Section shall apply).


 


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

§2.14.            Canadian
Borrowers.


 


§2.14.1            Effective
as of the date hereof, each Canadian Borrower may receive Loans for its account on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, (i) the Company will be jointly and severally
liable for all borrowings by, and Obligations of, each Canadian Borrower and (ii) each Canadian Borrower will be jointly and severally
liable only for the borrowings made by, and Obligations of, the Canadian Borrowers. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no event will any Canadian Borrower be liable for any borrowings by,
or other Obligations of, the Company.


 


§2.14.2            Each
Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other
Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments
and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the
Banks to any such Canadian Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise
be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given
or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction,
certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have
been delivered to each Borrower.


 


§2.15.            Extension
of Maturity Date.


 


§2.15.1            Requests
for Extension. The Company may, not more than twice during the term of this Agreement, by written notice to the Administrative Agent
(who shall promptly notify the Banks) request that each Bank extend such Bank’s Maturity Date for an additional one-year from the
Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Maturity Date”), which request shall indicate the date by which
each Bank shall respond to such request (which shall not be earlier than 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent is notified
of such request unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) (such date, the “Notice Date”)
and the date on which such extension shall be effective (which shall not be earlier than 35 days after the Administrative Agent is notified
of such request, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) (such date, the “Extension Effective
Date”).


 


§2.15.2            Bank
Elections to Extend. Each Bank, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given
on or prior to the Notice Date, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Bank agrees to such extension. Each Bank that has
failed to notify the Administrative Agent as to whether it has agreed to a requested extension on or before the Notice Date shall be
deemed to have declined to extend its Maturity Date (each such Bank, together with all Banks that have declined to extend their Maturity
Date, collectively, the “Non-Extending Banks”). The election of any Bank to agree to such extension shall not obligate
any other Bank to so agree.


 


§2.15.3            Notification
by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of each Bank’s determination under this Section promptly
and, in any event, no later than three Business Days after the Notice Date.


 


§2.15.4            Additional
Commitment Banks. The Company shall have the right to replace each Non-Extending Bank with, and add as “Banks” under
this Agreement in place thereof, one or more eligible assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Bank”) in accordance
with §2.18.


 






    - 44 -


     


    

 


§2.15.5            Minimum
Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Banks that have agreed so to extend their Maturity Date
(each, an “Extending Bank”) and the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Banks that have become Banks
pursuant to §2.18 shall be more than 50% of the Total Commitments then in effect, the Maturity Date of each Extending Bank
and of each Additional Commitment Bank shall be extended on the Extension Effective Date to the date one year after the Existing Maturity
Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day); provided
that in no event shall the term of this Agreement in effect exceed five years at any time.


 


§2.15.6            Conditions
to Effectiveness of Extensions. As a condition precedent to such extension, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Existing Maturity Date signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying
and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) certifying that, before
and after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties contained in §6 and the other Loan
Documents are true and correct on and as of the Existing Maturity Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties
specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes
of this §2.15, the representations and warranties contained in §6.4(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most
recent statements furnished pursuant to §7.4(a) and (b), and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists.


 


§2.15.7            Non-Extending
Banks. The Maturity Date of the Non-Extending Banks shall remain unchanged and the Borrowers shall repay all Committed Loans of the
Non-Extending Banks outstanding on such Maturity Date, together with any accrued interest, fees or other amounts owing to such Banks
hereunder.


 


§2.15.8            Conflicting
Provisions. In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Bank
may make such amendments to this Agreement as the Administrative Agent determines to be reasonably necessary to evidence the extension.
This Section shall supersede any provisions in §2.13 or §15.9 to the contrary.


 


§2.16.             Cash
Collateral.


 


§2.16.1            Certain
Credit Support Events. If (i) any Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and
such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the day that is five days prior to the Maturity Date, any L/C Obligation
for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) the Company shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to §12.1,
or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Bank, the Company shall immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above)
or within one Business Day (in all other cases) following any request by the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, provide Cash Collateral
in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above,
after giving effect to §2.17.1(d) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Bank).


 


§2.16.2            Grant
of Security Interest. Each of the Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Bank, such Defaulting Bank, hereby grants
to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the
Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all
other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to
which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to §2.16.3. 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 or the Issuing Banks as herein provided,
or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Company 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. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked,
non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Company shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account
opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.


 






    - 45 -


     


    

 


§2.16.3            Application.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this §2.16 or
 §§2.5, 2.6, 2.18 or 12.3 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction
of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting
Bank, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other
application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.


 


§2.16.4            Release.
Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released
promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by
the termination of Defaulting Bank status of the applicable Bank (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with §20)
or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral;
provided, however, (x)  any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of
Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Loan Documents and the other applicable provisions
of the Loan Documents, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral
shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.


 


§2.17.            Defaulting
Banks.


 


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


 


(a)            Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Bank’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 “Majority Banks” and §15.9.


 


(b)            Defaulting
Bank Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to §12 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative
Agent from a Defaulting Bank pursuant to §13 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 Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to
the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to any Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank hereunder; third,
to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with §2.16;
fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which
such Defaulting Bank 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 Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
(x) satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash
Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Letters of
Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with §2.16; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks, Issuing
Banks or the Swing Line Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank, any Issuing Bank
or the Swing Line Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’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 Company as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting
Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court
of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings
in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related
Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in §11 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall
be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied
to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without
giving effect to §2.17.1(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied
(or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this §2.17.1(b) shall be deemed
paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)            Certain
Fees.


 


(i)             Each
Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive fees payable under §2.2.1 for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting
Bank only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans funded by it, and (2) its Commitment
Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to §2.16).


 


(ii)            Each
Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to
the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral
pursuant to §2.16.


 


(iii)            With
respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above,
the Company shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Bank that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank with
respect to such Defaulting Bank’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting
Bank pursuant to clause (d) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank, as applicable, the amount of any
such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swing Line Bank’s Fronting
Exposure to such Defaulting Bank, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.


 


(d)            Reallocation
of Commitment Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Bank’s participation in L/C Obligations
and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated
without regard to such Defaulting Bank’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate
Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Bank to exceed such Non-Defaulting Bank’s Commitment. Subject to §35,
no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Bank arising
from that Bank having become a Defaulting Bank, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Bank as a result of such Non-Defaulting Bank’s
increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e)            Cash
Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in §2.17.1(d) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable law,
(x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash
Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in §2.16.


 


§2.17.2            Defaulting
Bank Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Bank and the Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Bank is no longer
a Defaulting Bank, 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 Bank will,
to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Administrative
Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in accordance with their Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to §2.17.1(d)),
whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to
fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute
a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.


 


§2.17.3            New
Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, (i) the Swing Line Bank shall not be required
to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan
and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, increase, reinstate or renew any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied
that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.


 


§2.18.            Replacement
of Banks; Termination of Commitments. If any Bank (an “Affected Bank”) (i) makes demand upon the Borrowers
for (or if a Borrower is otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to §§3.4.1 or 3.4.2, (ii) is unable
to make or maintain SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in §§ 3.2
or 3.3, (iii) is a Defaulting Bank, or (iv) is a Non-Consenting Bank (as defined below), the Company may, within 90
days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing a Borrower to be required to pay such compensation
or causing §§ 3.2 or 3.3 to be applicable), default or approval of such amendment, waiver or consent by the Majority
Banks, as the case may be, by notice (a “Replacement Notice”) in writing to the Administrative Agent and such Affected
Bank (A) request the Affected Bank to cooperate with the Company in obtaining a replacement bank satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the Company (the “Replacement Bank”) as provided herein, but none of such Banks shall be under an obligation
to find a Replacement Bank; (B) request the non-Affected Banks to acquire and assume all of the Affected Bank’s Loans and
Commitment, and to participate in Letters of Credit as provided herein, but none of such Banks shall be under an obligation to do so;
(C) designate a Replacement Bank reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; or (D) so long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, terminate the Commitments of such Bank as set forth below. If any satisfactory Replacement Bank shall
be obtained, and/or any of the non-Affected Banks shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Bank’s Loans and Commitment,
and obligations to participate in Letters of Credit, then the Borrower may, upon notice to such Affected Bank and the Administrative
Agent, require such Affected Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in, and consents required by, §20), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan
Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment),
provided that:


 






    - 48 -


     


    

 


(a)            the
Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in §20 (to the extent not waived);


 


(b)            subject
to the provisions in §2.17 with respect to any Defaulting Bank in the case of reallocation of payments to such Defaulting
Bank for amounts described in clauses first, sixth and seventh of such §2.17, such Affected Bank shall have received payment
of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under §§3.4.1,
3.4.2 and 3.5) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower
(in the case of all other amounts);


 


(c)            in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under §§3.4.1 or 3.4.2, such assignment
will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and


 


(d)            such
assignment does not conflict with applicable law.


 


A Bank shall not be required to make any such
assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower
to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Upon the effective date of such assignment, such Replacement Bank shall become
a “Bank” for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.


 


If the Company elects to
terminate the Commitments of a Bank in accordance with clause (D) above, all of the Commitments of such Bank shall be terminated
immediately (with the Total Commitment reduced in a like amount on a non-pro rata basis) upon the later of (i) the date of the receipt
by the Administrative Agent and such Bank of the Company’s written notice of such election and (ii) the date that the Borrowers
have repaid all outstanding principal of its Loans of such Bank and provided cash collateral or other credit support satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Bank with respect to all such Bank’s Letters of Credit, together with accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts
under §§3.4 and 3.5) (which payments and credit support may be held and applied to the Loans, interest, fees
and other obligations of such Bank on a non-pro rata basis with payments made to the other Banks, notwithstanding the provisions of §29
to the contrary); provided, that the Company may not terminate the Commitments of a Bank pursuant to this paragraph if, after
giving effect to such termination and the repayment of Loans of such Bank required hereby, the sum of (x) the outstanding principal
amount of the Loans plus (y) the Maximum Drawing Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit minus (z) the amount
of cash collateral or other credit support satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Bank that the Company
has provided to secure Reimbursement Obligations prior to or concurrently with such termination which would exceed the Total Commitment.


 


For the purposes of this §2.18, a
 “Non-Consenting Bank” means a Bank that fails to approve an amendment, waiver or consent requested by the Borrower
pursuant to §15.9 that has received the written approval of not less than the Majority Banks but also requires the approval
of such Bank.

§2.19.            Sustainability
Adjustments.


 


(a)             ESG
Amendment. After the Effective Date, the Borrowers, in consultation with the Sustainability Coordinator, shall be entitled to establish
specified Key Performance Indicators (“KPI’s”) with respect to certain Environmental, Social and Governance
(“ESG”) targets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Sustainability Coordinator, the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the Majority Banks may amend this Agreement (such amendment, the “ESG Amendment”) solely for the purpose
of incorporating the KPI’s and other related provisions (including provisions with respect to the reporting and validation of the
measurement of the proposed KPI’s) (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement. Upon effectiveness of
any such ESG Amendment, based on the Borrowers’ performance against the KPI’s, certain adjustments (increase, decrease or
no adjustment) to the otherwise applicable Applicable Rate for the Facility Fee, Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate, Applicable Rate
for Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans and Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans and Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans
and Canadian Prime Rate Loans will be made; provided that the amount of such adjustments shall not exceed (x) a 0.010% increase
and/or decrease in the otherwise applicable Applicable Rate for the Facility Fee and (y) a 0.040% increase and/or decrease in the
otherwise applicable Applicable Rate for Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans and Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans and
the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate and the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and the adjustments
to the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be the same amount, in basis points, as the adjustments
to the Applicable Rate for Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans and Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans; provided
that in no event shall the Applicable Rate for any Loans be less than zero. The pricing adjustments pursuant to the KPI’s will
require, among other things, reporting and validation of the measurement of the KPI’s in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability
Linked Loan Principles1 (as in effect from
time to time) and is to be agreed between the Company and the Sustainability Coordinator (each acting reasonably). Following the effectiveness
of the ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions shall be subject only to the consent of the Borrowers and the Majority
Banks if such modification does not have the effect of reducing the Applicable Rate for the Facility Fee, Applicable Rate for Base Rate
Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans, or Applicable Rate for Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans and Alternative Currency
Term Rate Loans to a level not otherwise permitted by this paragraph (it being understood that any such modification having the effect
of reducing the Applicable Rate for the Facility Fee, Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Applicable
Rate for Term SOFR Loans, SOFR Daily Floating Rate Loans and Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans to a level not otherwise permitted
by this paragraph would require approval by all affected Banks in accordance with §15.9 or §24).


 


(b)             Sustainability
Coordinator. The Sustainability Coordinator will (i) assist the Borrowers in determining the ESG Pricing Provisions in connection
with the ESG Amendment and (ii) assist the Borrowers in preparing informational materials focused on ESG to be used in connection
with the ESG Amendment.


 


(c)             Conflicting
Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in §15.9 or §24 to the contrary.


 


§3.            TAXES,
YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY.


 


§3.1.            Taxes.


 


§3.1.1            Payments
Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (a)  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
laws. If any applicable laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding
of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall
be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to §3.1.5) below.

(b)            If
any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States
Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such
deductions as are reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has
received pursuant to §3.1.5) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made
on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required
withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this §3.1)
the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.


 


(c)            If
any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes
from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such laws, shall withhold or make such deductions
as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to §3.1.5 below,
(B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld
or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction
is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any
required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
§3.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction
been made.


 


§3.1.2            Payment
of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, 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.


 


§3.1.3            Tax
Indemnifications. (a)  Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally (except as otherwise provided
below) indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 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 §3.1)
payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest
and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company
by a Bank or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf
of a Bank or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and
severally (except as otherwise provided below) indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10
days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Bank or an Issuing Bank for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative
Agent as required pursuant to §3.1.3(b) below. For purposes of this §3.1, the “joint and several”
liability of each Canadian Borrower shall be limited such that each Canadian Borrower is jointly and severally liable only for any liabilities
of the other Canadian Borrower.


 






    - 51 -


     


    

 


(b)            Each
Bank and each Issuing Bank shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after
demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank or such Issuing Bank (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 Party to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable
to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of §20 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and
(z) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank or such Issuing
Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party 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 Bank by the Administrative
Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off
and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).


 


§3.1.4            Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in this
§3.1, the Company 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 any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


 


§3.1.5            Status
of Banks; Tax Documentation. (a)  Any Bank 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 Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested
by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or the taxing
authorities of a jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested
by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested
by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank
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 either (A) set forth in
§3.1.5(b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iii), below or (B) required by applicable law other than the Code or
the taxing authorities of the jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law to comply with the requirements for exemption or reduction
of withholding tax in that jurisdiction) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution
or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial
position of such Bank.


 


(b)            Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person,


 


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


 






    - 52 -


     


    

 


(ii)            any
Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company 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 Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:


 


a.              in
the case of a Foreign Bank 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable) 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-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable) 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;


 


b.            executed
copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;


 


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


 


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


 


(iii)            any
Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company 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 Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies 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 Company or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and


 






    - 53 -


     


    

 


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


 


(c)              Each
Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this §3.1 expires or becomes obsolete or
inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in
writing of its legal inability to do so.


 


§3.1.6            Treatment
of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for
or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Bank or an Issuing Bank, or have any obligation to pay to any Bank or any Issuing Bank, any refund
of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. If any Recipient
determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which
any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this §3.1, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such
refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this §3.1 with
respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that
each Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest
or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient
be required to pay any amount to such Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less
favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient 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 subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.


 


§3.1.7            Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this §3.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or
any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.


 






    - 54 -


     


    





 


§3.2.          Illegality.
If any Bank determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Bank or its applicable Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect
to any Credit Extension, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon a Relevant Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed
material restrictions on the authority of such Bank to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or Canadian Dollars in the applicable
interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Bank to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such
Bank to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension or to make or continue Term SOFR Loans
or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or to
convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans shall be, in each case, suspended, and (ii) if such notice
asserts the illegality of such Bank making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the
Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Bank shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality,
be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Bank
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt
of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable
and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert, all such Term SOFR Loans of such Bank to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which
Base Rate Loans of such Bank shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference
to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Bank may lawfully continue
to maintain such Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Bank may not lawfully continue
to maintain such Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Bank determining or charging interest rates based upon
Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Bank without
reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Bank that it is no longer illegal
for such Bank to determine or charge interest rates based upon Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall
also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.


 


§3.3.          Inability
to Determine Rates.


 


(a)            If
in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR
Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall
be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency has been
determined in accordance with §3.3(b) and the circumstances under clause (i) of §3.3(b) or the
Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable), or (B) adequate and reasonable means
do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency for any determination date(s) or requested
Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan or in connection
with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Banks determine that for any reason
that the Relevant Rate with respect to a proposed Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency for any requested Interest Period or determination
date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly
so notify the Company and each Bank.


 


Thereafter, (x) the
obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR
Loans, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans, Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans or Interest Period
or determination date(s), as applicable, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect
to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended,
in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Majority Banks described in clause (ii) of
this §3.3(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Majority Banks) revokes such notice.


 






    - 55 -


     


    

 


Upon receipt of such notice,
(i) the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of SOFR Loans or Alternative
Currency Term Rate Loans to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans or Interest Period or determination
date(s), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans
denominated in Dollars in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (ii) (A) any outstanding Term SOFR
Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective Interest Periods and (B) any
outstanding affected Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, at the Company’s election, shall either (1) be converted into Base
Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan
at the end of the applicable Interest Period, or (2) be prepaid in full at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided
that if no election is made by the Company by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Alternative Currency
Term Rate Loan, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.


 


(b)            Replacement
of Relevant Rate or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or the Majority Banks
notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Banks, a copy to the Company) that the Company or the Majority Banks
(as applicable) have determined, that:


 


(i)            adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency because none of the tenors of such Relevant
Rate under this Agreement is available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or


 


(ii)            the
Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for an Agreed
Currency under this Agreement shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or permitted to be used for determining the
interest rate of loans denominated in such Agreed Currency, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time
of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide
such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant
Rate for such Agreed Currency under this Agreement are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled
Unavailability Date”);


 


or if the events or circumstances
of the type described in §3.3(b)(i), or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect,
then, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an
Agreed Currency or any then current Successor Rate for an Agreed Currency in accordance with this §3.3(b) with an alternative
benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented
in the U.S. and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or
other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities
syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating
such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable
discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto,
a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after
the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Banks and the Company unless, prior to such time, Banks comprising
the Majority Banks have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Banks object to such amendment.


 


(c)            Successor
Rate. The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Company and each Bank of the implementation of any
Successor Rate.


 


Any Successor Rate shall
be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively
feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative
Agent.


 






    - 56 -


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything
else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed
to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.


 


In connection with the implementation
of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without
any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected,
the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Company and the Banks reasonably
promptly after such amendment becomes effective.


 


§3.4.          Increased
Costs.


 


§3.4.1            Increased
Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:


 


(a)            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 Bank or any Issuing Bank;


 


(b)            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


 


(c)            impose
on any Bank or any Issuing Bank or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, SOFR
Loans made by such Bank or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans made by such Bank or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;


 


and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the cost to such Bank of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to
make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Bank or such Issuing Bank 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 Bank or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of
such Bank or such Issuing Bank, the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Canadian Borrower to pay) to such Bank or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for
such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.


 


§3.4.2            Capital
Requirements. If any Bank or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Bank or such Issuing Bank or any Lending
Office of such Bank or such Bank’s or such 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 Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital
of such Bank’s or the such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of
such Bank or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Bank, or the Letters of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Bank or such Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s
policies and the policies of such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Canadian Borrower to pay) to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Issuing Bank or such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.


 






    - 57 -


     


    

 


§3.4.3            Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Bank or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Bank
or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in §§3.4.1 or 3.4.2  and delivered
to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Canadian Borrower to pay) such
Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.


 


§3.4.4            Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Bank or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this §3.4 shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation,
provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Bank or an Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Bank or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Bank’s
or such 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 six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof).


 


§3.5.          Compensation
for Losses. Upon demand of any Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly compensate
(or cause the applicable Canadian Borrower to compensate) such Bank for and hold such Bank harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred
by it as a result of:


 


§3.5.1            any
continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan on a day other than
the last day of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period, as applicable, for such Loan, if applicable (whether
voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);


 


§3.5.2            any
failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Bank to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any
Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Company or the applicable Canadian
Borrower;


 


§3.5.3            any
failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in Canadian
Dollars on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or


 


§3.5.4            any
assignment of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan, in each case on a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to §2.18;


 


including any loss of anticipated profits, any
foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such
Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange
contract. The Company shall also pay (or cause the applicable Canadian Borrower to pay) any customary administrative fees charged by
such Bank in connection with the foregoing.


 






    - 58 -


     


    

 


For purposes of calculating amounts payable by
the Company (or the applicable Canadian Borrower) to the Banks under this §3.5, each Bank shall be deemed to have funded
each Term SOFR Loan or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan made by it at the Term SOFR Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable,
for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and
for a comparable period, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded.


 


§3.6.          Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Banks.


 


§3.6.1            Designation
of a Different Lending Office. Each Bank may make any Credit Extension to a Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the
exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. If any Bank requests compensation under §3.4, or requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional
amounts to any Bank, any Issuing Bank, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank or any Issuing Bank pursuant to §3.1,
or if any Bank gives a notice pursuant to §3.2, then at the request of the Company such Bank or such Issuing Bank shall,
as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank or such Issuing
Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to §§3.1 or 3.4,
as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to §3.2, as applicable, and (ii) in
each case, would not subject such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Company hereby agrees to pay (or cause the applicable Canadian
Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank or any Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or
assignment.


 


§3.6.2            Replacement
of Banks. If any Bank requests compensation under §3.4, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional
amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to §3.1 and, in each case, such Bank
has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with §3.6.1, the Company may replace such
Bank in accordance with §2.18.


 


§3.7.          Survival.
All obligations of the Loan Parties under this §3 shall survive termination of the Total Commitments, repayment of all other
Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.


 


§4.          [Reserved.]


 


§5.          [Reserved.]


 


§6.          REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES. Each Borrower (and the Guarantor, where applicable) represents and warrants to the Banks that:


 


§6.1.          Corporate
Authority.


 


(a)            Incorporation;
Good Standing. Each Borrower and each Significant Subsidiary (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation, (ii) has all requisite corporate power to own its property and conduct its
business as now conducted and as presently contemplated, and (iii) is in good standing and is duly authorized to do business in
each jurisdiction in which its property or business as presently conducted or contemplated makes such qualification necessary, except
where a failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 






    - 59 -


     


    

 


(b)            Authorization.
The execution, delivery and performance of its Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (i) are within
the corporate authority of each Borrower and the Guarantor, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate proceedings
on the part of each Borrower and the Guarantor, (iii) do not conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of any provision
of law, statute, rule or regulation to which any Borrower or the Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries is subject, (iv) do
not contravene any judgment, order, writ, injunction, license or permit applicable to any Borrower, the Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries
so as to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (v) do not conflict with any provision of the corporate charter or bylaws of any Borrower,
the Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary or any agreement or other instrument binding upon any Borrower, the Guarantor or any Significant
Subsidiaries, except for those conflicts with any such agreement or instrument which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.


 


(c)            Enforceability.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by each Borrower and the Guarantor will result in valid and legally binding
obligations of such Borrower and the Guarantor enforceable against them in accordance with the respective terms and provisions hereof
and thereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting
generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.


 


§6.2.          Governmental
and Other Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by each Borrower and the Guarantor and the consummation
by such Borrower and the Guarantor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not require any approval or consent of, or
filing with, any governmental agency or authority or other third party other than those already obtained and those required after the
date hereof in connection with the Borrowers’ performance of the covenants contained in §§7, 8 and 9
hereof.


 


§6.3.          Title
to Properties; Leases. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries own all of the assets reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as at
the Interim Balance Sheet Date or acquired since that date (except property and assets (a) operated under Capital Leases, (b) sold
or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business since that date, or (c) consolidated in accordance with variable entity
guidance in FASB ASC 810), subject to no Liens except Permitted Liens.


 


§6.4.          Financial
Statements; Solvency.


 


(a)            There
have been furnished to the Banks consolidated balance sheets of the Company dated the Balance Sheet Date and consolidated statements
of operations for the fiscal periods then ended, certified by the Accountants. In addition, there have been furnished to the Banks consolidated
balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries dated the Interim Balance Sheet Date and the related consolidated statements of operations
for the fiscal quarter ending on the Interim Balance Sheet Date. All said balance sheets and statements of operations have been prepared
in accordance with GAAP (but, in the case of any of such financial statements which are unaudited, only to the extent GAAP is applicable
to interim unaudited reports), and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis as at the close of business on the dates thereof and the results of operations for the periods then ended, subject,
in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal year-end adjustments and to the absence
of complete footnotes. There are no contingent liabilities of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries involving material amounts, known
to the officers of any Borrower or the Guarantor, which have not been disclosed in said balance sheets and the related notes thereto
or otherwise in writing to the Banks.


 






    - 60 -


     


    

 


(b)            Each
Borrower on a consolidated basis (both before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent
(i.e., it has assets having a fair value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts
as they become absolute and matured) and has, and expects to have, the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection
therewith as such debts mature.


 


§6.5.          No
Material Changes, Etc. Since the Balance Sheet Date, there have been no material adverse changes in the consolidated financial condition,
business, assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than changes in
the ordinary course of business which have not had a Material Adverse Effect.


 


§6.6.          Franchises,
Patents, Copyrights, Etc. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries possess all franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade
names, licenses and permits, and rights in respect of the foregoing, adequate for the conduct of their business substantially as now
conducted (other than those the absence of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect) without known conflict with any rights of
others other than a conflict which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


§6.7.          Litigation.
Except as set forth on Schedule 6.7 or in the Disclosure Documents, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations
of any kind pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened against such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court,
tribunal or administrative agency or board which, either in any case or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.


 


§6.8.          No
Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any charter, corporate or other legal restriction,
or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation which in the judgment of such Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s officers
has or could reasonably be expected in the future to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party
to any contract or agreement which in the judgment of such Borrower’s or its Subsidiary’s officers has or could reasonably
be expected to have any Material Adverse Effect, except as otherwise reflected in adequate reserves as required by GAAP.


 


§6.9.          Compliance
With Other Instruments, Laws, Etc. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is (a) violating any provision of its charter documents
or by-laws or (b) violating any agreement or instrument to which any of them may be subject or by which any of them or any of their
properties may be bound or any decree, order, judgment, or any statute, license, rule or regulation, in a manner which could (in
the case of such agreements or such instruments) reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 


§6.10.          Tax
Status. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all federal, state, provincial and territorial income and all other tax returns,
reports and declarations (or obtained extensions with respect thereto) required by applicable law to be filed by them (unless and only
to the extent that such Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all
unpaid and unreported taxes as required by GAAP); and have paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges (other than
taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed by jurisdictions other than the United States, Canada or any political subdivision
thereof which in the aggregate are not material to the financial condition, business or assets of such Borrower or such Subsidiary on
an individual basis or of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) that are material in amount, shown or determined
to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith; and, as required by GAAP, have set aside
on their books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns,
reports or declarations apply. Except to the extent contested in the manner permitted in the preceding sentence, there are no unpaid
taxes in any material amount claimed by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction to be due and owing by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
nor do the officers of any Borrower or any Subsidiary know of any basis for any such claim.


 






    - 61 -


     


    

 


§6.11.          No
Event of Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder and is continuing.


 


§6.12.          Investment
Company Act. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company”, or an “affiliated company”
or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company”, as such terms are defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940.


 


§6.13.          Absence
of Financing Statements, Etc. Except as permitted by §8.1 of this Agreement, there is no Indebtedness senior to the Obligations,
and except for Permitted Liens, there are no Liens, or any effective financing statement, security agreement, hypothec, chattel mortgage,
real estate mortgage, debenture or other document filed or recorded with any filing records, registry, or other public office, which
purports to cover, affect or give notice of any present or possible future Lien on any assets or property of any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or right thereunder.


 


§6.14.          Employee
Benefit Plans.


 


§6.14.1            In
General. (a) Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Employee Benefit Plan and Canadian
Pension Plan has been maintained and operated in compliance with the provisions of all applicable laws (including, without limitation,
in the case of each Employee Benefit Plan, ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the Code, and, in the case of any Canadian Pension Plan,
all applicable Canadian laws). Promptly upon the request of any Bank or the Administrative Agent, each Borrower will furnish to the Administrative
Agent the most recently completed annual report, Form 5500, with all required attachments, and actuarial statement required to be
submitted under §103(d) of ERISA, with respect to each Guaranteed Pension Plan. (b) Except as could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Canadian Pension Plan has received a confirmation of registration from the
Canada Revenue Agency and, to the best knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such
registration and (ii) each Loan Party and each Subsidiary has made all required contributions to each Canadian Pension Plan. The
aggregate solvency deficiency for the Canadian Defined Benefit Pension Plans of each Borrower and each Subsidiary in existence on the
Effective Date is not, and has not resulted and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


§6.14.2            Terminability
of Welfare Plans. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) under each Employee Benefit
Plan which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(1) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA, no benefits are
due unless the event giving rise to the benefit entitlement occurs prior to plan termination (except as required by Title 1, Part 6
of ERISA), and (ii) any Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate, as appropriate, may terminate each such employee welfare benefit plan at
any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of such Borrower or such
ERISA Affiliate without liability to any Borrower or any Subsidiary.


 






    - 62 -


     


    

 


§6.14.3            Guaranteed
Pension Plans. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) each contribution required
to be made to a Guaranteed Pension Plan, whether required to be made to avoid a violation of the minimum funding standards under §§412
and 430 of the Code, the notice or lien provisions of §303(k) or §4068 of ERISA, or otherwise, has been timely made; (b) no
waiver of the minimum funding standards under §§412 and 430 of the Code or extension of amortization periods has been received
with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan; (c) no liability to the PBGC (other than required insurance premiums, all of which
have been paid) has been incurred by any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan (other than Terminated
Plans) and there has not been any ERISA Reportable Event, or any other event or condition which presents a material risk of termination
of any Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC; and (d) other than with respect to the Terminated Plans, based on the latest valuation
of each Guaranteed Pension Plan (which in each case occurred within twelve months of the date of this representation), and on the actuarial
methods and assumptions employed for that valuation, each Guaranteed Pension Plan is in compliance with the minimum funding standards
as set forth in §302 of ERISA and is not subject to any restrictions concerning (i) providing shutdown or similar benefits,
(ii) amendments to increase benefits, (iii) paying lump sums or (iv) continuing to accrue benefits, as described by the
Pension Protection Act of 2006.


 


§6.14.4            Plan
Assets. Each Borrower represents and warrants as of the Effective Date that such Borrower is not and will not be using “plan
assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans
in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments.


 


§6.14.5            Multiemployer
Plans. Except for liabilities that have been discharged prior to the Effective Date or as to which accruals have been made in accordance
with GAAP prior to the Effective Date as reflected in the Disclosure Documents or as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, no Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability (including secondary liability) to any Multiemployer Plan
as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan under §4201 of ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets
described in §4204 of ERISA. No Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is insolvent under
and within the meaning of §4245 of ERISA or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under §4041A
of ERISA, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


§6.15.          Environmental
Compliance. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries have taken all steps that they have deemed reasonably necessary to investigate the
past and present condition and usage of the Real Property and the operations conducted by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, based
upon such diligent investigation, have determined that, except as set forth on Schedule 6.15 or in the Disclosure Documents:


 


(a)            No
Borrower, no Significant Subsidiary, nor any operator of their properties, is in violation, or alleged violation, of any judgment, decree,
order, law, permit, license, rule or regulation pertaining to environmental matters, including without limitation, those arising
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980 as amended (“CERCLA”), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (“SARA”),
the Federal Clean Water Act, the Federal Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act,
1999, or any applicable international, federal, state, provincial, territorial or local statute, regulation, ordinance, order or decree
relating to health, safety, waste transportation or disposal, or the environment (the “Environmental Laws”), which
violation, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 






    - 63 -

In addition, the Company
shall, promptly upon the issuance thereof, notify the Administrative Agent of any announcement by Moody’s or S&P (i) of
any change in any Senior Public Debt Rating or (ii) that any Senior Public Debt Rating will be put on a “negative outlook”
or “negative credit watch.”


 


Each Borrower hereby authorizes
each Bank to disclose any information obtained pursuant to this Agreement to all appropriate governmental regulatory authorities where
required by law; provided, however, this authorization shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights to object to the
disclosure by the Banks of any such information which such Borrower has or may have under the federal Right to Financial Privacy Act
of 1978, as in effect from time to time, except as to matters specifically permitted therein.


 


§7.5.          Existence
and Conduct of Business. Each Borrower will, and will cause each Significant Subsidiary to, do or cause to be done all things necessary
to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises; and effect and maintain its foreign qualifications
(except where the failure of such Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary to remain so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect), licensing, domestication or authorization, except as any of the foregoing may be terminated by its Board
of Directors in the exercise of its reasonable judgment; provided that such termination could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, become obligated under any contract or binding arrangement
which, at the time it was entered into, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Borrower will, and will
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, continue to engage primarily in any of the businesses now conducted by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries
and in related, complementary or supplemental businesses, and any additional businesses acquired pursuant to the terms of §8.4(a) hereunder.


 


§7.6.          Maintenance
of Properties. Each Borrower will, and will cause each Significant Subsidiary to, cause all material properties used or useful in
the conduct of their businesses to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear excepted)
and supplied with all necessary equipment and cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereof, all as in the judgment of each Borrower and the Significant Subsidiaries may be necessary so that the businesses carried on
in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this
section shall prevent any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of its properties
if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of such Borrower or such Subsidiary, desirable in the conduct of its or their business and
which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


§7.7.          Insurance.
Each Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain insurance of the kinds, covering the risks (other than risks arising
out of or in any way connected with personal liability of any officers and directors thereof) and in the relative proportionate amounts
usually carried by reasonable and prudent companies conducting businesses similar to that of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in amounts
substantially similar to the existing coverage maintained by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Such insurance shall be with financially
sound and reputable insurance companies (including captive insurance companies), funds or underwriters, or may be pursuant to self-insurance
plans. In addition, each Borrower will furnish from time to time, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, a summary of the insurance
coverage of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which summary shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, will furnish to the Administrative Agent copies of the applicable policies.

§7.8.          Taxes.
Each Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the same shall
become overdue, all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it and its real properties, sales and activities,
or any part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom, as well as all claims for labor, materials, or supplies, which if unpaid
might by law become a Lien upon any of its property; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or
claim need not be paid if the failure to do so (either individually, or in the aggregate for all such failures) could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and if such Borrower or such Subsidiary shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto as required
by GAAP; and provided, further, that such Borrower or such Subsidiary will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies
or claims prior to the foreclosure on any Lien which may have attached as security therefor.


 


§7.9.          Inspection
of Properties, Books and Contracts. Each Borrower will, and will cause each Significant Subsidiary to, permit the Administrative
Agent or any Bank or any of their designated representatives, upon reasonable notice, to visit and inspect any of the properties of such
Borrower and the Significant Subsidiaries, to examine the books of account of such Borrower and the Significant Subsidiaries, or contracts
(and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom), and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of such Borrower and the Significant
Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, their officers, all at such times and intervals as may be reasonably requested.


 


§7.10.          Compliance
with Laws, Contracts, Licenses and Permits; Maintenance of Material Licenses and Permits. Each Borrower will, and will cause each
Subsidiary to, (i) comply with the provisions of its charter documents and by-laws; (ii) comply with all agreements and instruments
by which it or any of its properties may be bound except where non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; (iii) comply with all applicable laws and regulations (including Environmental Laws), decrees, orders, judgments, licenses
and permits, including, without limitation, all environmental permits (“Applicable Requirements”), except where non-compliance
with such Applicable Requirements could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) maintain all operating
permits for all landfills now owned or hereafter acquired, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect; and (v) dispose of hazardous waste only at licensed disposal facilities operating, to such Borrower’s
knowledge, in compliance with Environmental Laws, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. If at any time any authorization, consent, approval, permit or license from any officer, agency or instrumentality of
any government shall become necessary or required in order that a Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary may fulfill any of its obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Borrower will immediately take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps within the
power of such Borrower or such Significant Subsidiary to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or license and furnish
the Banks with evidence thereof.


 


§7.11.          Environmental
Indemnification. Each Borrower covenants and agrees that it will indemnify and hold the Banks, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative
Agent and their respective affiliates, and each of the representatives, agents and officers of each of the foregoing, harmless from and
against any and all claims, expense, damage, loss or liability incurred by the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent (including
all reasonable costs of legal representation incurred by the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent) relating to (a) any
Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances on the Real Property; (b) any violation of any Environmental Laws or Applicable
Requirements with respect to conditions at the Real Property or other assets of such Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or the operations
conducted thereon; or (c) the investigation or remediation of offsite locations at which such Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries,
or their predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly Disposed of Hazardous Substances. It is expressly acknowledged by each
Borrower that this covenant of indemnification shall survive the payment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and satisfaction
of all other Obligations hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of the Banks, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and their
affiliates, successors and assigns.

documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to the Majority Banks’ satisfaction the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.


 


§7.13.          Notice
of Potential Claims or Litigation. Each Borrower shall deliver to the Banks written notice of the initiation of any action, claim,
complaint, investigation or any other notice of dispute or litigation against any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or which questions the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, together with
a copy of each such complaint or other notice received by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries if requested by the Administrative
Agent within 30 days of receipt thereof or of the determination that such action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, whichever occurs later (and the Borrowers will make such determination in each case as promptly as practicable).


 


§7.14.          Notice
of Certain Events Concerning Environmental Claims and/or ERISA Reportable Events. Each Borrower will promptly, and in any event within
ten (10) Business Days of any Borrower’s obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the Banks in writing of any of the following
events:

under this Agreement or any other note, evidence of indebtedness, indenture or other obligation evidencing indebtedness in excess of
$200,000,000 as to which any Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary is a party or obligor, whether as principal or surety, the Company

§8.          NEGATIVE

or the Banks have any obligation to reimburse any Issuing Bank for drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, it shall, and shall cause
its Subsidiaries (or, if so indicated below, cause only Significant Subsidiaries) to, comply with the following covenants:


 


§8.1.          Restrictions
on Indebtedness. The Company will not permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Guarantor) to create, incur, assume, or be or
remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to any Indebtedness, or to become or be responsible in any manner (whether by
agreement to purchase any obligations, stock, assets, goods or services, or to supply or advance any funds, assets, goods or services
or otherwise) with respect to any Indebtedness, in each case, of any other Person other than any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
other than:


 


(a)            Indebtedness
listed in Schedule 8.1(a), any extension, renewal or refinancing of such Indebtedness and any additional bonds issued and Capital
Leases entered into from time to time after the Effective Date; provided that (i) if such Indebtedness is an extension, renewal
or refinancing of existing Indebtedness, the terms and conditions of any such extensions, renewals or refinancings shall not increase
the relative priority of such Indebtedness over the priority of the original Indebtedness, and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Indebtedness permitted by this §8.1(a) exceed the aggregate principal amount of the
Indebtedness listed on Schedule 8.1(a) that is outstanding on the Effective Date (plus transaction costs, including premiums
and fees, related thereto); and


 


(b)            other
Indebtedness; provided that the sum (without duplication) of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Indebtedness
permitted under this §8.1(b), plus (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of secured Indebtedness of
the Company and its Subsidiaries permitted under subsections (k), (l) and (m) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”,
plus (iii) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness with respect to outstanding Permitted Receivables Transactions (determined
in accordance with the proviso to the definition of “Indebtedness”), shall not exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible Assets
at any time.


 


§8.2.          Restrictions
on Liens. No Borrower will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, create or incur or suffer to be created or incurred or to exist any
Lien of any kind upon any property or assets of any character, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or upon the income or profits
therefrom; or transfer any of such property or assets or the income or profits therefrom for the purpose of subjecting the same to the
payment of Indebtedness or performance of any other obligation in priority to payment of its general creditors; or acquire, or agree
or have an option to acquire, any property or assets upon conditional sale or other title retention or purchase money security agreement,
device or arrangement; or suffer to exist for a period of more than 30 days after the same shall have been incurred any Indebtedness
or claim or demand against it which if unpaid might by law or upon bankruptcy or insolvency, or otherwise, be given any priority whatsoever
over its general creditors; or sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any accounts, contract rights or other general intangibles
(in each case other than the sale or licensing of intellectual property and other transfers of general intangibles, in each case made
in the ordinary course of business for fair market value and not made in connection with a financing transaction) or chattel paper, with
or without recourse, in each case except for Permitted Liens.


 


Each Borrower and the Guarantor
covenant and agree that if any of them or any of their Subsidiaries shall create or incur any Lien upon any of their respective properties
or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than Permitted Liens (unless prior written consent shall have been obtained
from the Majority Banks), such Borrower and the Guarantor will make or cause to be made effective provision whereby the Obligations and
the Guaranteed Obligations will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with any and all other Indebtedness thereby secured so long
as such other Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided that the covenants of each Borrower and the Guarantor contained in this
sentence shall only be in effect for so long as such Borrower or the Guarantor shall be similarly obligated under any other Indebtedness;
provided, further, that an Event of Default shall occur for so long as such other Indebtedness becomes secured notwithstanding
any actions taken by such Borrower or the Guarantor to ratably secure the Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder.

Consolidations, Sales.


 


(a)            No
Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall be a party to any merger, amalgamation, consolidation, Division or exchange of stock unless a Borrower
shall be the surviving entity with respect to any such transaction to which a Borrower is a party and the Guarantor shall be the survivor
of any merger or amalgamation with any other Subsidiary or a Subsidiary shall be the surviving entity (and continue to be a Subsidiary)
with respect to any such transactions to which one or more Subsidiaries is a party (and the conditions set forth below are satisfied),

venture or other interest in, any other Person except as otherwise provided in this §8.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

the end of each Elevated Leverage Ratio Period at which the required Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.75:1.00; provided
that there shall be no more than two Elevated Leverage Ratio Periods during the term of this Agreement. Such election shall be made by

hereunder. No termination of any portion of the Total Commitment hereunder shall relieve any Borrower of any of its existing Obligations
to the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent hereunder or elsewhere.


 


§12.3.     Remedies.
In case any one or more of the Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Banks shall have accelerated

contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations to the Administrative Agent
or the Banks are evidenced, including, without limitation, as permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment
of a receiver, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any
legal or equitable right available to the Administrative Agent and the Banks, any recovery being subject to the terms of §12.4
and §29 hereof. No remedy herein conferred upon any Bank or the Administrative Agent or the holder of any Note is intended
to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.

be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:


 


First, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements
of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under §3) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity
as such;


 






    - 78 -


     


    

 


Second, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit
Fees) payable to the Banks and the Issuing Banks (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Banks and the
Issuing Banks and amounts payable under §3), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this
clause Second payable to them;


 


Third, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and
other Obligations, ratably among the Banks and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Third payable to them;


 


Fourth, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Banks and Issuing
Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;


 


Fifth, to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Banks, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn
amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Borrowers pursuant to §2.6.2 and §2.16;
and


 


Last, the balance,
if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by applicable law.


 


Subject to §2.6.2
and §2.16, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause
Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as
Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other
Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.


 


§13.     SETOFF.
During the continuance of an Event of Default, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any Bank to any Borrower and any securities
or other property of such Borrower in the possession of such Bank may be applied to or set off against the payment of the Obligations
and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising,
of such Borrower to the Banks or the Administrative Agent. Any amounts set off with respect to the Obligations shall, except to the extent
§2.17 applies, be distributed ratably in accordance with §29 among all of the Banks by the Bank setting off such
amounts. If any Bank fails to share such setoff ratably, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to withhold such Bank’s
share of the applicable Borrower’s payments until each of the Banks shall have, in the aggregate, received a pro rata repayment.

the Administrative Agent and the Banks for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements (including all reasonable legal fees and
the allocable cost of in-house attorneys’ fees) incurred or expended in connection with the enforcement of any Obligations or the
satisfaction of any indebtedness of such Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or in connection with any litigation, proceeding
or dispute hereunder in any way related to the credit hereunder.

§15.1.     Authorization

to take such action as Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion
or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from
acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Banks (or, when expressly required hereby, all of the Banks), and such instructions shall
be binding upon all Banks; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which
exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or applicable
law.


 


§15.2.     Exculpatory
Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lead Arranger, as applicable, shall 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

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
Majority Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks 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 effect a forfeiture, modification
or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;


 


(c)            shall
not have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, to any Bank or any Issuing Bank,
any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness
of any of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates, that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the Administrative
Agent, Lead Arranger or any of their affiliates, as well as their and their affiliates’ shareholders, directors, employees, partners,
agents, officers, subsidiaries and affiliates in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to
be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent herein;

not be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks (or such
other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary,
under the circumstances as provided in §§15.9 and 24) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent
shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative
Agent by the Company, a Bank or an Issuing Bank; and


 


(e)            shall
not be responsible for or have any duty or obligation to any Bank or participant or any other Person 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 §§10 or 11
or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.


 


§15.3.     Bank
of America and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement
and under the other Loan Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the
term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Bank of America in its individual
capacity. Bank of America and its Bank Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally
engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower, the Guarantor, any of their Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or
own securities of any Borrower, the Guarantor, or any such Subsidiary, all as if Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent and
without any duty to account therefor to the Banks. 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.
To the extent any such rights or powers are delegated to a sub-agent, the Administrative Agent shall remain responsible for such sub-agent’s
performance or exercise of such duties, rights and powers; provided that the exculpatory provisions of this Agreement (including
the provisions in §15) shall apply to any such sub-agent.


 


§15.4.     Bank
Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Bank and based on the financial statements referred to in §6.4 and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Bank also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.

§15.5.     Indemnification.
The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), ratably according to the respective
amounts of their Commitments as most recently in effect at the time such indemnity is sought, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct or from a material breach by the Administrative Agent of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document,
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative
Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share as aforesaid of any reasonable out of pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment
or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities
under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by
the Borrowers.


 


§15.6.     Successor
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Company
and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Banks. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Banks
shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that, unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then
be continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority
Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 45 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation
or the Majority Banks’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank, financial institution, trust company or similar entity
regularly engaged in the business of administering syndicated loans and which successor Administrative Agent shall be organized under
the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and have total assets of at least $1,000,000,000; provided that
if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks that no such qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then
(x) such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and the retiring Administrative Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (y) the Company may appoint a successor
Administrative Agent to act until replaced by a successor Administrative Agent that is appointed by the Majority Banks (which successor
Administrative Agent appointed by the Company shall be a commercial bank, financial institution, trust company or similar entity regularly
engaged in the business of administering syndicated loans that is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any
State thereof and have total assets of at least $1,000,000,000). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder
by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Section). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of
this §15 and §16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Agreement.


 


§15.7.     Lead
Arrangers, Etc. The parties identified on the cover hereof as Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, Documentation Agents and Co-Documentation
Agents shall have no obligations or liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.


 






    - 82 -


     


    

 


§15.8.     Documents.
The Administrative Agent will forward to each Bank, promptly after receipt thereof, a copy of each notice or other document furnished
to the Administrative Agent for such Bank hereunder; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent may furnish to the Banks a monthly summary with respect to Letters of Credit issued hereunder in lieu of copies of the related
Letter of Credit Applications.


 


§15.9.     Action
by the Banks, Consents, Amendments, Waivers, Etc. (a)  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or
any Bank in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks
hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Borrower or the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Bank
or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.


 


(b)            Except
as otherwise provided in §2.6.1 hereof with respect to Schedule 2.6.1 and subject to §3.3, neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by each Borrower and the Majority Banks, and delivered to the Administrative Agent, or by each Borrower and the Administrative Agent
with the consent of the Majority Banks; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Bank without
the written consent of such Bank; (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligations, or reduce the rate
of interest on the Loans or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Bank affected thereby; (iii) postpone
the date of any payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount
of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of
each Bank affected thereby; (iv) release any Borrower from its Obligations or the Guarantor from its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder
without the written consent of each Bank; (v) modify §29(a) without the written consent of each Bank; (vi) modify
the definition of “Commitment Percentage”; (vii) change §12.4 or any other provision hereof in a manner
that would have the effect of altering the ratable reduction of Commitments or the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without
the written consent of each Bank adversely and directly affected thereby; or (viii) change any of the provisions of this §15.9
or any provision of this Agreement requiring action by all the Banks, or the percentage of Banks constituting “Majority Banks”,
without the written consent of each Bank; provided, further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect
the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver
or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank may be effected with the consent of the applicable
Banks other than Defaulting Banks), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Bank may not be increased or extended or the
maturity of any of its Loans may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of its Loans may not be reduced and the principal amount
of any of its Loans may not be forgiven, in each case, without the consent of such Defaulting Bank and (y) any waiver, amendment,
consent or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank that by its terms affects any Defaulting Bank more adversely
than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if
the Administrative Agent and the Company acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect
in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including the schedules and exhibits thereto), then the Administrative
Agent and the Company shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical
error or other defect, and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative
Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Banks unless, prior to such time, Banks comprising the Majority Banks have delivered
to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Banks object to such amendment.


 






    - 83 -


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Bank (but with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Bank shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended
and restated), the Commitments of such Bank shall have terminated, such Bank shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder
and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement;

Bank is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE

    - 84 -


     


    

 


(d)            such
other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and
such Bank.


 


§15.10.2            In
addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (a) in the immediately preceding §15.10.1 is true with respect to a Bank
or (2) a Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (d) in the immediately
preceding §15.10.1, such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto,
to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto,
for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any other
Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank involved in such Bank’s entrance
into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including
in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any
documents related hereto or thereto).


 


§15.11.     Recovery
of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes
a payment hereunder in error to any Bank Recipient Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by any Borrower at
such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Bank Recipient Party receiving a Rescindable Amount
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Bank Recipient Party
in Same Day Funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount
is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Bank Recipient
Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise
claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation
to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Bank Recipient Party promptly upon determining that any
payment made to such Bank Recipient Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.


 


§16.     INDEMNIFICATION.
Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Banks, the Issuing Banks, the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent and
their affiliates, as well as their and their affiliates’ shareholders, directors, employees, partners, agents, officers, subsidiaries
and affiliates, from and against all damages, losses, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities, claims, suits, penalties, assessments,
citations, directives, demands, judgments, actions or causes of action, whether statutorily created or under the common law, and reasonable
costs and expenses incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by an indemnified party by reason of or resulting from the transactions
contemplated hereby, except any of the foregoing which result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party
or a material breach of the obligations of such indemnified party under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. In any investigation, enforcement matter, proceeding or
litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Banks, the Issuing Banks, the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to select their own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, each Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel (including the non-duplicative allocated cost of internal counsel), and settlement costs. In the event of the
commencement of any such proceeding or litigation against the Banks or Administrative Agent by third parties, the Borrowers shall be
entitled to participate in such proceeding or litigation with counsel of their choice at their expense. In the case of an investigation,
litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this §16 applies, such indemnity shall be effective, subject to the limitations
herein, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Borrower, any Borrower’s equity-holders,
affiliates or creditors or such an indemnified party, whether or not such indemnified party is otherwise a party thereto and whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The covenants of this §16 shall survive payment or satisfaction
of payment of amounts owing with respect to any Note or the Loans and satisfaction of all the Obligations hereunder and under the Loan
Documents, IT BEING THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT ALL SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTIES SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FOR THEIR ORDINARY SOLE,
COMPARATIVE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY IN RESPECT OF
ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ASSERTED BY SUCH OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT,
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY USE MADE OR TO BE MADE WITH THE PROCEEDS OF ANY CREDIT EXTENSION HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER (PROVIDED
THAT THIS SENTENCE SHALL NOT LIMIT ANY BORROWER’S INDEMNITY OR REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS TO THE EXTENT SUCH INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL
OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARE INCLUDED IN ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM IN CONNECTION WITH WHICH AN INDEMNITEE IS OTHERWISE ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION
HEREUNDER). Without limiting the provisions of §3.1.3, this §16 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than
any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc., arising from any non-Tax claim.

§18.     TREATMENT
OF CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.


 


§18.1.     Confidentiality.
Each of the Banks and the Administrative Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees
and representatives, to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential
information of the same nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, any non-public information supplied to it by
any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement that is identified by such Person as being confidential at the time
the same is delivered to the Banks or the Administrative Agent; provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any
such information (a) after such information shall have become public other than through a violation of this §18, or
becomes available to any of the Banks or the Administrative Agent on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Borrower, (b) to
the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (c) to counsel, employees, advisors and/or agents for any

or any of its affiliates or the Administrative Agent or any self-regulatory body in which any of such Persons participates, or to auditors
or accountants, (e) to the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Financial Affiliate, (f) in connection with any litigation
to which any one or more of the Banks, the Administrative Agent or any Financial Affiliate is a party, or in connection with the enforcement
of rights or remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (g) to a Bank Affiliate of any Bank or the Administrative Agent,
(h) to any actual or prospective assignee or participant or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap
or derivative transactions referenced to credit or other risks or events arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to
any credit insurance provider relating to any Borrower and its Obligations so long as such assignee, participant, counterparty or credit
insurance provider, as the case may be, agrees to be bound by a confidentiality agreement the provisions of which shall be no less restrictive
than §18.1, (i) to the extent such information is independently discovered or developed by a party hereto without utilizing
any information received from the Borrowers or violating the terms of this §18.1, (j) on a confidential basis to any
rating agency in connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities hereunder or (k) with the consent
of the Company. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about

§18.2.     Prior
Notification. Unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each of the Banks and the Administrative Agent shall,
prior to disclosure thereof, notify the Company of any request for disclosure of any such non-public information by any governmental
agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Bank
by such governmental agency) or pursuant to legal process.


 


§18.3.     Other.
In no event shall any Bank or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished to it or any Financial
Affiliate by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The obligations of each Bank under this §18 shall supersede and replace
the obligations of such Bank under any confidentiality letter in respect of this financing signed and delivered by such Bank to the Company
prior to the date hereof and shall be binding upon any assignee of, or purchaser of any participation in, any interest in any of the
Loans or Reimbursement Obligations from any Bank.


 


§19.     SURVIVAL
OF COVENANTS, ETC. Unless otherwise stated herein, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made
herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of any Borrower or the Guarantor pursuant
hereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Banks, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding any investigation
heretofore or hereafter made by them, and shall survive the making by the Banks of the Loans and the issuance, extension or renewal of
any Letters of Credit by any Issuing Bank, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount
due under this Agreement, any Obligation, or any Letter of Credit remains outstanding and unpaid or any Bank has any obligation to make
any Loans or any Issuing Bank has any obligation to issue, extend, or renew any Letters of Credit hereunder. All statements contained
in any certificate or other paper delivered by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by such Borrower hereunder.

§20.     ASSIGNMENT
AND PARTICIPATION. It is understood and agreed that each Bank shall have the right to assign at any time all or a portion
of its Commitment Percentage and interests in the risk relating to the Loans, outstanding Letters of Credit and its Commitment hereunder
in an amount equal to or greater than (except in the case of an assignment by a Bank to any other Bank or Bank Affiliate, or unless otherwise
agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent) $5,000,000 (or, if a Bank’s Commitment is less than $5,000,000, in a minimum
amount equal to such Bank’s Commitment; provided that prior to any Commitment reductions pursuant to §2.6, such
Bank’s Commitment was at least $5,000,000), to additional banks, other financial institutions or Bank Affiliates (other than Defaulting
Banks) with the prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank
and each Issuing Bank and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Company (provided
that (i) the Company’s consent shall not be required in the case of an assignment by a Bank to any other Bank, any Bank Affiliate
of any Bank or any Approved Fund of any Bank and (ii) the Company shall 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), which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that no approval shall be required by the Administrative
Agent, the Swing Line Bank, any Issuing Bank or the Borrowers for any assignment by BNP Paribas to either (A) Bank of the West or
(B) BNP Paribas Fortis. Any Bank may at any time, and from time to time, assign to any branch, lending office, or Bank Affiliate
all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company. It is further
agreed that each bank or other financial institution which executes and delivers to the Administrative Agent and the Company hereunder
an Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, or such other form approved by the Administrative
Agent (an “Assignment and Assumption”) together with an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the assigning
Bank to the Administrative Agent, shall, on the date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, become a party to this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and its portion of the Commitment, the Loans
and Letters of Credit shall be as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption; provided, that the Administrative Agent may, in
its sole discretion, elect to waive such assignment fee. The Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights (except for indemnity rights arising
out of the period prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided
that no assignment by a Defaulting Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that
Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank 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 sub-participations, or other compensating
actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Committed
Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Bank, 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 Bank to the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Banks or any Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata
share of all Committed Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank 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 Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Upon the execution and delivery of such
Assignment and Assumption (a) to the extent applicable, the Borrowers shall issue Notes (and replacement Notes) or the Administrative
Agent shall make appropriate entries on the applicable loan account(s) to reflect such assignment of Loan(s); and (b) this
Agreement and Schedule 1 shall be deemed to be appropriately amended to reflect (i) the status of the bank, financial institution
or Bank Affiliate as a party hereto and (ii) the status and rights of the Banks hereunder. The Administrative Agent, acting solely
for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitment Percentages
of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
 “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


 


Each Bank shall also have
the right to grant participations to one or more banks, other financial institutions or Bank Affiliates (other than Defaulting Banks)
in its Commitment, the Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit. The documents evidencing any such participation shall limit such participating
bank’s, financial institution’s or Bank Affiliate’s, voting rights with respect to this Agreement to the matters set
forth in §15.9(b)(i) – (v) and §15.9(b)(vi); and each such participant shall be entitled
to the benefit of §3.4 hereof to the extent of its participation, subject to the limitations set forth therein. Each Bank
that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which
it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest
in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank
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 §5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no assignment or participation shall (a) be made to any Borrower or any of its affiliates, a Defaulting Bank or any of its Subsidiaries
or a natural person (including any holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of
a natural person) or (b) operate to increase the Total Commitment hereunder or otherwise alter the substantive terms of this Agreement,
and no Bank which retains a Commitment hereunder shall have a Commitment of less than $5,000,000, except as a result of reductions in
the Total Commitment pursuant to §2.6 hereof.


 


Anything contained in this
 §20 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Notes) to secure obligations of such Bank, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release
such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for
such Bank as a party hereto or thereto.


 


Each Borrower agrees that
in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard and customary banking practices any Bank may disclose information obtained
by such Bank pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder; provided
that such assignees or participants or potential assignees or participants shall agree to be bound by §18 hereof.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, if at any time a Bank that is an Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank assigns all of its Commitment
and Committed Loans pursuant to this §20, such Bank may, (i) upon 45 days’ notice to the Company and the Banks,
resign as an Issuing Bank and/or (ii) upon 45 days’ notice to the Company, resign as the Swing Line Bank. In the event of
any such resignation as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Banks a successor Issuing
Bank or Swing Line Bank hereunder; provided, however, that (x) no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor
shall affect the resignation of the Bank that has elected to resign as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank, as the case may be, and (y) any
such appointment of a successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank must be acceptable to the Bank appointed to act in such capacity. If
a Bank resigns as Issuing Bank, it shall retain the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to
all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all Reimbursement Obligations with
respect thereto (including the right to require the Banks to make Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans or fund Letter of Credit
Participations, each pursuant to §2.6). If a Bank resigns as the Swing Line Bank, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing
Line Bank provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation
(including the right to require the Banks to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant
to §2.5). Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank and/or Swing Line Bank in accordance with the foregoing, (a) such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swing
Line Bank, as the case may be, and (b) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters
of Credit issued by the resigning Issuing Bank, if any, that are outstanding at the time such resignation occurs or make other arrangements
satisfactory to the resigning Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of such resigning Issuing Bank with respect to such
Letters of Credit.

§21.     PARTIES
IN INTEREST. All the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto and thereto; provided that neither any Borrower
nor the Guarantor shall assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of each
of the Banks and the Administrative Agent.


 


§22.     NOTICES, ETC.


 


(a)            Except
in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subsection (b) below),
all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service,
mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier as follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted
hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:


 


(i)            if
to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Bank, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail
address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 22; and


 


(ii)            if
to any other Bank, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire
(including, as appropriate, notices delivered solely to the Person designated by a Bank on its Administrative Questionnaire then in effect
for the delivery of notices that may contain material non-public information relating to any Borrower).


 


Notices and other communications sent
by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices
and other communications sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business
hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices
and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective
as provided in such subsection (b).


 


(b)            Communications
may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail, FpML messaging, and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant
to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Bank or any
Issuing Bank pursuant to §2 if such Bank or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is
incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Bank, each
Issuing Bank or any Borrower may each, in its discretion, agree to accept Communications to it hereunder by electronic communications
pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular Communications.
Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) Communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon
the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function,
as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent
during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business
on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) Communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received
upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification
that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.


 






    - 90 -


     


    

 


(c)            Each
Borrower further agrees that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arrangers may make the Communications and/or information
provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder available to the Banks by posting the Communications and such other information on
SyndTrak, Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain
of the Banks (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information
with respect to any Borrower or its affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment
and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. Each Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Communications
and such other information that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC”
which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by
marking such Communications and other information “PUBLIC,” each Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative
Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Banks to treat such Communications and other information as not containing any material
non-public information with respect to any Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws
(provided, however, that to the extent such Communications and other information subject to §18.1, they shall
be treated as set forth in §18.1); (y) all Communications and other information marked “PUBLIC” are permitted
to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative
Agent and the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Communications and other information that are not marked “PUBLIC”
as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Each Public Lender
agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information”
or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance
with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws,
to make reference to borrower materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the
Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to any Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States
Federal or state securities laws.


 


(d)            THE
PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS
IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS
MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF
ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, “AGENT
PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY BORROWER, ANY BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF
ANY BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS OR NOTICES THROUGH THE PLATFORM, ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC
PLATFORM OR ELECTRONIC MESSAGING SERVICE, OR THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS FOUND
IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS
NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR MATERIAL BREACH; provided, however, that in no
event shall any Agent Party have any liability to ANY Borrower, any Bank, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for indirect, special,
incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).


 






    - 91 -


     


    

 


(e)            The
Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above
shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Agreement. Each Bank agrees
that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute
effective delivery of the Communications to such Bank for purposes of this Agreement. Each Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Agent
in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Bank’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice
may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.


 


(f)            Nothing
herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement
in any other manner specified herein.


 


§23.     MISCELLANEOUS.
The rights and remedies herein expressed are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights which the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the
Administrative Agent would otherwise have. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define
or limit the provisions hereof. This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on
a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one instrument. In proving this Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by
the party against whom enforcement is sought. This Agreement, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other
electronic imaging means, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered
to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party
hereto, each other party hereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto shall
raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic imaging means to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement
or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic imaging means as a defense to
the formation of a contract and each party forever waives such defense. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,”
and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents)
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.


 


§24.     CONSENTS, ETC.
Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, except as provided in this §24,
subject to the provisions of §15.9. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any
right consequent thereon. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by
this Agreement to be given by the Banks may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other instrument related hereto or mentioned
herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by any Borrower or the Guarantor of any terms of this Agreement or such other
instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of each Borrower and the Majority Banks. To the extent permitted
by law, no course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of any of the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent in exercising
any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon any Borrower or the Guarantor
shall entitle any Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

§25.     WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND
ALL RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES
OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.
EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH BORROWER AND THE GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EITHER OF THEM MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER
IN ANY LITIGATION REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER
THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. EACH BORROWER AND THE GUARANTOR EACH (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY
OF ANY BANK, ANY ISSUING BANK, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY AGENT HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH BANK, SUCH ISSUING
BANK, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR SUCH AGENT WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE BANKS, AND THE ISSUING BANKS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
BECAUSE OF, AMONG OTHER THINGS, EACH BORROWER’S AND THE GUARANTOR’S WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN.


 


§26.     GOVERNING
LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; DESIGNATION OF NY PROCESS AGENT.


 


THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE CONTRACTS UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW
 §5-1401, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH BORROWER AND THE GUARANTOR CONSENT
AND AGREE THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN MANHATTAN OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE
COURT FROM ANY THEREOF (THE “SUBJECT COURTS”) AND CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND SERVICE
OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON EACH BORROWER IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAW AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN §22. EACH BORROWER
AND THE GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT
OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED
BY LAW.

Each Canadian Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System (the “New York Process Agent”), currently having an office at 28 Liberty
Street, New York, New York 10005, as its agent and attorney-in-fact for receipt of all writs, summonses and other process in any suit,
action or proceeding in the Subject Courts, and upon any failure of the New York Process Agent to act as such, each Canadian Borrower
will appoint a different New York process agent acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  Such service may be made by mailing or
delivering a copy of such process to a Canadian Borrower in care of the New York Process Agent at the New York Process Agent’s
above New York address and each Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the New York Process Agent to accept such
service on its behalf.  Each Canadian Borrower agrees that the failure of the New York Process Agent to notify such Canadian Borrower
of the existence or contents of any writ, summons or other process shall not invalidate the effectiveness of the service or delivery
of such writ, summons or process.  Each Canadian Borrower and the Company agree that their submission to jurisdiction and their
consent to service of process by mail are made for the express benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and each of the
Banks.


 


§27.     SEVERABILITY.
The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole
or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof,
in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision
of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this §27, if and to the extent that the
enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Banks shall be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Bank,
as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.


 


§28.     GUARANTY.


 


§28.1.     Guaranty.
For value received and hereby acknowledged and as an inducement to the Banks and the Issuing Banks to make the Loans available to
the Borrowers, and issue, extend or renew Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees (a) the full punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all
Obligations of each Borrower now or hereafter existing whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, and (b) the
strict performance and observance by each Borrower of all agreements, warranties and covenants applicable to such Borrower in the Loan
Documents and (c) the obligations of each Borrower under the Loan Documents (such Obligations collectively being hereafter referred
to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”).


 


§28.2.     Guaranty
Absolute. The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof, 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 Bank,
any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent with respect thereto. The liability of the Guarantor under the guaranty granted under this
Agreement with regard to the Guaranteed Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:


 


(a)            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 amendment
or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement or any other Loan Document (with regard to such Guaranteed Obligations);


 


(b)            any
release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations;


 


(c)            any
change in ownership of any Borrower;


 


(d)            any
acceptance of any partial payment(s) from any Borrower or the Guarantor; or


 






    - 94 -


     


    

 



 


(e)            any
other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a guarantor or surety or any
Borrower in respect of its Obligations under any Loan Document.


 


The
guaranty under this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any
Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.


 


§28.3.            Effectiveness;
Enforcement. The guaranty under this Agreement shall be effective and shall be deemed to be made with respect to each Loan and each
Letter of Credit as of the time it is made, issued or extended, or becomes a Letter of Credit under this Agreement, as applicable. No
invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of any bankruptcy or similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency
thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect any liability of any Borrower, and no defect in or insufficiency or want of powers
of any Borrower or irregular or improperly recorded exercise thereof, shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against such guaranty.
The guaranty under this Agreement is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) survive any termination of this Agreement, and (b) remain
in full force and effect until payment in full of, and performance of, all Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under
this Agreement. The guaranty under this Agreement is a guaranty of payment (and not of collection) made for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks and their successors and assigns, and may be enforced from time to time as often as occasion therefor
may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Banks first to exercise any rights
against any Borrower, or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the said obligations or to elect any other
remedy.


 


§28.4.            Waiver.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in any of the Loan Documents, the Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, protest,
notice of protest, all suretyship defenses, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of its Guaranteed Obligations
and the guaranty under this Agreement and any requirement that the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent protect, secure,
perfect any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Borrower or
any other Person. The Guarantor also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all defenses which at any time may be
available to it in respect of its Guaranteed Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect.


 


§28.5.            Expenses.
The Guarantor hereby promises to reimburse (a) the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements
(including all reasonable attorneys’ fees), incurred or expended in connection with the preparation, filing or recording, or interpretation
of the guaranty under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modification, approval, consent or waiver hereof or
thereof, and (b) the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks and their respective affiliates for all reasonable out-of-pocket
fees and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), incurred or expended in connection with the enforcement of its Guaranteed
Obligations (whether or not legal proceedings are instituted). The Guarantor will pay any taxes (including any interest and penalties
in respect thereof) other than the Banks’ taxes based on overall income or profits, payable on or with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the guaranty under this Agreement, the Guarantor hereby agreeing jointly and severally to indemnify each Bank with respect
thereto.


 


§28.6.            Concerning
Joint and Several Liability of the Guarantor.


 


(a)            The
Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability
with each Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance of all of its Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation,
any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this §28), it being the intention of the parties hereto that, except for the limitation
on the Canadian Borrowers’ liabilities set forth in §2.14, all such Guaranteed Obligations shall be the joint and several
Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantor and each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.


 






    - 95 -


     


    

 


(b)            If
and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of its Obligations as and when due or to perform
any of its Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the Guarantor will make such payment
with respect to, or perform, such Guaranteed Obligation.


 


(c)            The
Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantor under the provisions of this §28 constitute full recourse obligations of the Guarantor
enforceable against the Guarantor to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability
of this Agreement or any other circumstance whatsoever.


 


(d)            Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability,
notice of any Loans made, or Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Banks under or in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, generally, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement. The Guarantor
hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
the acceptance of any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent
or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Banks at any time or times in respect of any Default
or Event of Default by any Borrower or the Guarantor in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks
or the Banks in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part,
at any time or times, of any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in
part, of any Borrower or the Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor assents to any other action or
delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent with respect to the failure
by any Borrower or the Guarantor to comply with its respective Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation,
any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations
thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this §28, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving the
Guarantor, in whole or in part, from any of the Guaranteed Obligations under this §28, it being the intention of the Guarantor
that, so long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantor under this
§28 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Guaranteed Obligations
of the Guarantor under this §28 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or the Guarantor or the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the
Administrative Agent. The joint and several liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding
any absorption, merger, consolidation, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of
formation of any Borrower or the Guarantor, the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent.


 






    - 96 -


     


    

 


(e)            The
Guarantor shall be liable under this §28 only for the maximum amount of such liabilities that can be incurred under applicable
law without rendering this §28 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance and fraudulent transfer, and
not for any greater amount. Accordingly, if any obligation under any provision under this §28 shall be declared to be invalid
or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, it is the stated intention and agreement of the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Banks and the Banks that any balance of the obligation created by such provision and all other obligations of the Guarantor
under this §28 to the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent shall remain valid and enforceable, and that all
sums not in excess of those permitted under applicable law shall remain fully collectible by the Banks, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative
Agent from any Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may be.


  


(f)            The
provisions of this §28 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks and their successors
and assigns, and may be enforced in good faith by them from time to time against the Guarantor as often as occasion therefor may arise
and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Banks first to marshal any of their claims
or to exercise any of their rights against any Borrower or the Guarantor or to exhaust any remedies available to them against any Borrower
or the Guarantor or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the obligations hereunder or to elect any other
remedy. The provisions of this §28 shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in
full or otherwise fully satisfied and the Commitments have expired and all outstanding Letters of Credit have expired, matured or otherwise
been terminated. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, is rescinded
or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Banks, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of any Borrower or the Guarantor, or otherwise, the provisions of this §28 will forthwith be reinstated
in effect, as though such payment had not been made.


 


§28.7.            Waiver.
Until the final payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, the Guarantor shall not exercise and the Guarantor hereby
waives any rights the Guarantor may have against any Borrower arising as a result of payment by the Guarantor hereunder, by way of subrogation,
reimbursement, restitution, contribution or otherwise, and will not prove any claim in competition with the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Banks or any Bank in respect of any payment hereunder in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceedings of
any nature; the Guarantor will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against any Borrower in respect of any liability of any
Borrower to the Guarantor; and the Guarantor waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may
be held by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Bank.


 


§28.8.            Subrogation;
Subordination. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Borrower for money borrowed or credit received
now or hereafter owed to the Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations. The Guarantor agrees
that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, the Guarantor will not demand, sue
for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any Borrower to the Guarantor until all of the Obligations shall have been
paid in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect
of such indebtedness while any Obligations are still outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by the Guarantor
as trustee for the Banks, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and be paid over to the Administrative Agent at Default, for
the benefit of the Banks, the Issuing Banks, and the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner
the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions hereof.

§28.9.            Consent
and Confirmation. The Guarantor hereby (i) consents, acknowledges and agrees to the amendment and restatement of the Existing
Credit Agreement provided hereby and set forth herein, (ii) confirms and ratifies in all respects this Agreement and the enforceability
of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, and (iii) confirms and agrees that the Guarantor’s payment and performance
obligations under this Agreement, and the Guaranteed Obligations, do and shall continue as to and include all Obligations upon and after
the effectiveness of this Agreement and the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement contemplated hereby.


 


§29.            PRO
RATA TREATMENT.


 


(a)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, each payment or prepayment of principal and interest received hereunder shall be distributed
pro rata among the Banks, in accordance with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Obligations owing to each Bank
divided by the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Obligations.


 


(b)            Each
Bank agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower (pursuant
to §13 or otherwise), including a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief
Law or other security or interest arising from or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Bank under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of the Notes, Loans, Reimbursement
Obligations and other Obligations held by it (other than pursuant to §3.4) as a result of which the unpaid principal portion
of the Notes and the Obligations held by it shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Notes and the Obligations
held by any other Bank, it shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased from such other Bank a participation in the Notes and the
Obligations held by such other Bank, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes and the Obligations and participations
in Notes and Obligations held by each Bank shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes and
the Obligations then outstanding as the principal amount of the Notes and the Obligations held by it prior to such exercise of banker’s
lien, setoff or counterclaim was to the principal amount of all Notes and Obligations outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s
lien, setoff or counterclaim; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant
to this §29 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments
shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustments restored without interest and (ii) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting
Bank), or (y) any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed
Loans or sub-participations in Reimbursement Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment
to any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). Each Borrower expressly consents
to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Person holding such a participation in the Obligations deemed to have been so purchased
may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by any Borrower
to such Person as fully as if such Person had made a Loan directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation.


 


§30.          FINAL
AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT
BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS
BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

§31.            USA
PATRIOT Act. Each Bank hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and the
Canadian AML Acts, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes
the name and address of such Borrower, information concerning its direct and indirect holders of equity interests and other Persons exercising
control over it, and other information that will allow such Bank to identify such Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and
the Canadian AML Acts. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Banks in maintaining compliance
with the USA PATRIOT Act and the Canadian AML Acts.


 


§32.            No
Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including
in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor
acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services
regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Lead Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions
between each Borrower, the Guarantor and their respective affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the
other Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory
and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each Borrower and the Guarantor is capable of evaluating, and
understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the
Administrative Agent, each Bank and each Lead Arranger 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 Borrower,
the Guarantor or any of their respective affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank nor
any Lead Arranger has any obligation to any Borrower, the Guarantor or any of their respective affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative
Agent, the Banks and the Lead Arrangers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve
interests that differ from those of any Borrower, the Guarantor and their respective affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent
nor any Bank nor any Lead Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower, the Guarantor or any of their
respective affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor hereby waives and releases any
claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the other Lead Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged
breach of any agency or fiduciary duty to any Borrower, the Guarantor or any of their respective affiliates in connection with any aspect
of any transaction contemplated hereby.


 


§33.            Payments
set aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, an Issuing
Bank or any Bank, or the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Bank exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds
of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or such Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to
a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or otherwise,
then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Bank and each
Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount
so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment
is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Banks and each Issuing
Bank under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.

§34.            ELECTRONIC
EXECUTION; Electronic Records; counterparts. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including
Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures.
Each of the Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and each Bank Party agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated
with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication
entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such
Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered.  
Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts,
but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication.  For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph
may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic
form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery
and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Bank Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication
in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course
of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document.  All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record,
including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability
as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor
Swing Line Bank is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by
such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Bank and/or Swing Line Bank has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the
Bank Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any
Bank Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Bank Party, any Electronic Signature
shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.Neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor Swing Line Bank
shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness
of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative
Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s or Swing Line Bank’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed
..pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank shall be entitled to rely on, and
shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing
may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature)
or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether
or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof). 


 


Each of the Loan Parties
and each Bank Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of
this Agreement, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document,
and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Bank Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative
Agent’s and/or any Bank Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result
of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission
of any Electronic Signature.

§35.            Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of AFFECTED Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Bank or Issuing Bank that is an Affected
Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other
agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Bank or any
Issuing Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may
be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges
and agrees to be bound by:


 


§35.1.            the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder
which may be payable to it by any Bank or Issuing Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution; and  the effects of any
Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:


 


§35.2.1            a
reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;


 


§35.2.2            a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other
instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document; or


 


§35.2.3            the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution
Authority.


 


§36.            Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed
to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (including
without limitation, the Criminal Code (Canada)) (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall
receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if
it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by
the Administrative Agent or a Bank exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize
any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout
the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.


 


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


 






    - 101 -


     


    

 


§38.            Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCS. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide
support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC
Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with
respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S.
Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable
notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York
and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):


 


§38.1.            In
the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest
and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or
such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S.
Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property)
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of
a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that
might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted
to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported
QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the
foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Bank shall in no event affect
the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.


 


§38.2.            As
used in this §38, the following terms have the following meanings:


 


“BHC
Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.


 


“Covered
Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in
accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance
with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).


 


“Default
Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81,
47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.


 


“QFC”
has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C.
5390(c)(8)(D).
