on the basis of GAAP and the application thereof as in effect and applied immediately before such change became effective, and all financial
statements shall be provided together with a reconciliation between the calculations and amounts set forth therein before and after giving
effect to such changes in GAAP.


 


SECTION 1.04.Statutory
Divisions.


 


In
this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or
plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation
or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person and the original Person survives such
division in any form for any period, then such asset, right, obligation or liability shall be deemed to have been transferred from the
original Person to the subsequent Person and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been
organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity securities at such time.


 


Article II.

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT


 


SECTION 2.01The Commitments.


 


Each
Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances in Dollars to the Borrower and to participate
in the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower in respect of Letters of Credit from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Restatement Effective Date until the Termination Date applicable to the Commitment of such Lender in an aggregate amount not
to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule I hereto or, if such Lender has
entered into any Assignment and Assumption, set forth for such Lender in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 8.07(c), as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.05(a) or increased pursuant to Section 2.05(c) (such Lender’s
“Commitment”). Each Borrowing shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000
in


 




    36 


     


    

excess
thereof and shall consist of Advances of the same Type and, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances,
having the same Interest Period made or Converted on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments. Within
the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.11 and reborrow
under this Section 2.01; provided, however, that at no time may (x) the Outstanding Credits exceed the aggregate amount
of the Commitments or (y) the Green Outstanding Credits exceed the Green Loan Sublimit.


 


SECTION 2.02.Making
the Advances.


 


a.               Each
Borrowing shall be made on notice, given (i) in the case of a Borrowing comprising Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate
Advances, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing, and (ii)
in the case of a Borrowing comprising Base Rate Advances or Green Base Rate Advances, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on
the date of the proposed Borrowing, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof.
Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be transmitted by facsimile or email in substantially
the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such Borrowing, (B) Type of Advances to be made in connection
with such Borrowing, (C) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (D) wire instructions of the Borrower, and (E) in the case of a Borrowing
comprising Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each Lender shall,
before (x) 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date of any Borrowing comprising Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate
Advances, and (y) 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of any Borrowing comprising Base Rate Advances or Green Base Rate Advances,
make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day
funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment
of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower in such
manner as the Borrower shall have specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.


 


b.             
Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Notice of Borrowing requesting Eurodollar
Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred
by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation
or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing
when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.


 


c.              Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available
to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing


 




    37 


     


    

in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available
to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion
available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower (following the Administrative Agent’s demand on such Lender
for the corresponding amount) severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together
with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid
to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances made in connection
with such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent
such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes
of this Agreement.


 


d.             
The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of
its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure
of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.


 


SECTION 2.03.Letters
of Credit.


 


a.              Subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 on the Restatement Effective Date, each Existing
Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit, as applicable, issued hereunder. Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, each LC Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time for the account of the Borrower
(or to extend the stated maturity thereof or to amend or otherwise modify the terms thereof), in an aggregate stated amount not exceeding
such LC Issuing Bank’s Fronting Commitment, on not less than two Business Days’ prior notice thereof by delivery of a Request
for Issuance to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly distribute copies thereof to the Lenders) and the applicable LC Issuing
Bank. Each Request for Issuance shall specify (i) the date (which shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such Letter of Credit or Green
Letter of Credit (or the date of effectiveness of such extension, amendment or other modification) and the stated expiry date thereof
(which shall be no later than five Business Days prior to the then-scheduled Termination Date of the Lender that is, or is an Affiliate
of, such LC Issuing Bank), (ii) the proposed stated amount of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit, (iii) the name and address
of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit, (iv) a statement of drawing conditions applicable to such Letter
of Credit or Green Letter of Credit and (v) whether such letter of credit is a Green Letter of Credit, and if such Request for Issuance
relates to an amendment or other modification (other than an extension of the stated maturity thereof) of a Letter of Credit or Green
Letter of Credit, it shall be accompanied by the consent of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit thereto.
Each Request for Issuance shall be irrevocable unless modified or rescinded by the Borrower not less than one day prior to the proposed
date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified therein. Not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the proposed date of issuance
(or effectiveness) specified in such Request for Issuance, and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions precedent and the other
requirements set forth herein, the applicable LC Issuing Bank shall issue (or extend, amend or otherwise modify)


 




    38 


     


    

such
Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit and provide notice and a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly furnish
notice thereof to the Lenders. Upon each issuance of a Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit by any LC Issuing Bank, each Lender
shall be deemed, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, to purchase from such LC Issuing Bank without recourse a participation
in such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Percentage (which, in the case of any Alternative Currency
Letter of Credit, shall be the Dollar Equivalent thereof) of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit or
Green Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit shall utilize the Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal
to the amount of such participation.


 


b.             
No Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit shall be requested or issued hereunder if, after the issuance thereof, (i) the Outstanding
Credits would exceed the total Commitments then scheduled to be in effect until the Termination Date, (ii) that portion of the LC Outstandings
arising from Letters of Credit issued by an LC Issuing Bank would exceed the amount of such LC Issuing Bank’s Fronting Commitment
or (iii) the Green Outstanding Credits would exceed the Green Loan Sublimit. No LC Issuing Bank shall extend, amend or otherwise modify
any Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit if such LC Issuing Bank would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit
or Green Letter of Credit in its modified form under the terms hereof. No LC Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any
Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with any applicable law.


 


c.               The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable LC Issuing Bank and each Lender that has
funded its participation in the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower pursuant to subsection (d) below, on demand, without presentment,
protest or other formalities of any kind, made by the applicable LC Issuing Bank to the Borrower, on and after each date on which the
applicable LC Issuing Bank shall pay any amount under any Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank,
a sum equal to the amount so paid, (which, in the case of any drawing under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be the Dollar
Equivalent thereof) (the “Reimbursement Amount”) plus interest on the Reimbursement Amount from the date so
paid by such LC Issuing Bank until repayment to such LC Issuing Bank in full at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to
(i) with regard to Letters of Credit, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Advances and (ii) with regard to Green Letters of Credit,
the interest rate applicable to Green Base Rate Advances plus, if any amount paid by such LC Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit or
Green Letter of Credit is not reimbursed by the Borrower within three Business Days, 2%. The Borrower may satisfy its obligation hereunder
to repay the Reimbursement Amount by requesting a Borrowing under Section 2.02 in the amount of such Reimbursement Amount (which, in
the case of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, shall be the Dollar Equivalent thereof), and the proceeds of such Borrowing may
be applied to satisfy the Borrower’s obligations to the applicable LC Issuing Bank or the Lenders, as the case may be.


 


d.              
If any LC Issuing Bank shall not have been reimbursed in full for any payment made by such LC Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit
or Green Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank on the date of such payment, such LC Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative
Agent and each Lender prompt notice thereof (an “LC Payment Notice”) no later than 12:00 noon 


 




    39 


     


    

(New
York City time) on the Business Day immediately succeeding the date of such payment by such LC Issuing Bank. Each Lender shall be obligated
to fund the participation that such Lender purchased pursuant to Section 2.03(a) by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the applicable LC Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of such unreimbursed amount (which, in the case of
any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, shall be the Dollar Equivalent thereof) paid by such LC Issuing Bank, plus interest on such
amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from the date of the payment by the applicable LC Issuing Bank to the
date of payment to such LC Issuing Bank by such Lender. Each such payment by a Lender shall be made not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the later to occur of (i) the Business Day immediately following the date of such payment by the applicable LC Issuing
Bank and (ii) the Business Day on which such Lender shall have received an LC Payment Notice from the applicable LC Issuing Bank. Each
Lender’s obligation to make each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of any LC Issuing Bank shall be several
and shall not be affected by the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or the failure of any other Lender to make any payment
under this Section 2.03(d). Each Lender further agrees that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding
or reduction whatsoever.


 


e.               The
failure of any Lender to make any payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of any LC Issuing Bank in accordance with subsection
(d) above shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make payment, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Lender. If any Lender (a “Non-Performing Lender”) shall fail to make any payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of any LC Issuing Bank in accordance with subsection (d) above within five Business Days after the LC Payment Notice
relating thereto, then, such Non-Performing Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable LC Issuing
Bank forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such Lender
would have funded its participation had it complied with the requirements of subsection (d) above until the date such amount is paid
to the Administrative Agent.


 


f.
              The payment obligations of each Lender under Sections 2.03(d) and 2.03(e) and of the Borrower
under this Agreement in respect of any payment under any Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit by any LC Issuing Bank shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including,
without limitation, the following circumstances:


 


(i)     
any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or to such Letter
of Credit or Green Letter of Credit;


 


(ii)    
any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the terms of this Agreement or such Letter of Credit or Green Letter
of Credit;


 


(iii)   
the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, or
any transferee, of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such 


 




    40 


     


    

transferee
may be acting), the applicable LC Issuing Bank, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby, thereby or by such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit, or any unrelated transaction;


 


(iv)   
any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit reasonably proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;


 


(v)    
payment in good faith by the applicable LC Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit issued by such LC
Issuing Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter
of Credit; or


 


(vi)   
any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Lender (including the LC Issuing Banks), the Administrative Agent
or any other Person or any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but
for the provisions of this subsection (vi), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Borrower’s or the Lenders’
obligations hereunder.


 


g.             
The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit or Green Letter
of Credit. Neither the LC Issuing Banks, the Lenders nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates
shall be liable or responsible for (i) the use that may be made of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions
of any beneficiary or transferee thereof in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any
endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii)
payment by any LC Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or Green
Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit or Green Letter
of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under such Letter of Credit or Green Letter
of Credit. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower and each Lender shall have the right
to bring suit against any LC Issuing Bank, and such LC Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower and any Lender, to the extent of
any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender which the Borrower or such Lender proves were
caused by such LC Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in
a final, non-appealable judgment), including, in the case of the Borrower, such LC Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make timely
payment under such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit following the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereof of a draft
and accompanying certificate(s) that strictly comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each LC Issuing Bank may accept sight drafts and accompanying certificates presented
under the Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and payment against such documents
shall not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence by such LC Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding 


 




    41 


     


    

the
foregoing, no Lender shall be obligated to indemnify the Borrower for damages caused by any LC Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct
or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment).


 


h.             
The Borrower acknowledges that the rights and obligations of the LC Issuing Banks under each Letter of Credit or Green Letter
of Credit are independent of the existence, performance or nonperformance of any contract or arrangement underlying such Letter of Credit
or Green Letter of Credit, including contracts or arrangements between the LC Issuing Banks and the Borrower and between the Borrower
and the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit. The LC Issuing Banks shall have no duty to notify the Borrower
of its receipt of a demand or a draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit or
of its decision to honor such demand. The LC Issuing Banks may, without incurring any liability to the Borrower or impairing its entitlement
to reimbursement under this Agreement, honor a demand under a Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit despite notice from the Borrower
of, and without any duty to inquire into, any defense to payment or any adverse claims or other rights against the beneficiary of such
Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit or any other person. The LC Issuing Banks shall have no duty to request or require the presentation
of any document, including any default certificate, not required to be presented under the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit
or Green Letter of Credit. The LC Issuing Banks shall have no duty to seek any waiver of discrepancies from the Borrower, nor any duty
to grant any waiver of discrepancies that the Borrower approves or requests. The LC Issuing Banks shall have no duty to extend the expiration
date or term of a Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit or to issue a replacement letter of Letter of Credit or Green Letter of
Credit on or before the expiration date of a Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit or the end of such term.


 


i.
              Any LC Issuing Bank may resign at any time in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.07
hereof.


 


j.
              The Borrower agrees that the LC Issuing Banks may issue Letters of Credit subject to the Uniform
Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) Publication No. 600
(2007 Revision) or, at an LC Issuing Bank’s option, such later revision thereof in effect at the time of issuance of such Letter
of Credit or Green Letter of Credit (as so chosen for the Credit, the “UCP”) or the International Standby Practices
1998, ICC Publication No. 590 or, at an LC Issuing Bank’s option, such later revision thereof in effect at the time of issuance
of the Credit (as so chosen for such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit, the “ISP,” and each of the
UCP and the ISP, an “ICC Rule”). The LC Issuing Banks’ privileges, rights and remedies under such ICC
Rules shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, its privileges, rights and remedies expressly provided for herein. The UCP and
the ISP (or such later revision of either) shall serve, in the absence of proof to the contrary, as evidence of general banking usage
with respect to the subject matter thereof. The Borrower agrees that for matters not addressed by the chosen ICC Rule, such Letter of
Credit or Green Letter of Credit shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of New York and applicable United States Federal
laws. If, at the Borrower’s request, a Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit expressly chooses a state or country law other
than New York State law and United States Federal law or is silent with respect to the choice of an ICC Rule or a governing law, the
LC Issuing Banks shall not be liable for any


 




    42 


     


    

payment,
cost, expense or loss resulting from any action or inaction taken by an LC Issuing Bank if such action or inaction is or would be justified
under an ICC Rule, New York law, applicable United States Federal law or the law governing such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit.


 


k.              
Each LC Issuing Bank that issues an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall (A) on the first Business Day of each calendar
month, deliver to the Administrative Agent a schedule listing (x) each outstanding Alternative Currency Letter of Credit issued by such
LC Issuing Bank and whether it is a Letter of Credit or a Green Letter of Credit, (y) the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn
under each such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit at any time on or after such date (denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency,
assuming the compliance with and satisfaction of all conditions for drawing enumerated therein) and (z) the equivalent in Dollars of
such amount (as determined by such LC Issuing Bank on the basis of exchange rates available to or otherwise used by such LC Issuing Bank),
together with the applicable exchange rate utilized by such LC Issuing Bank and the source thereof (it being agreed and understood that
such applicable exchange rate may be adjusted by a reasonable and customary volatility factor as agreed by the Borrower and such LC Issuing
Bank); on the date of issuance of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (including, if any Alternative Currency Letters of Credit
are issued or deemed issued on the Restatement Effective Date, on the Restatement Effective Date), deliver to the Administrative Agent
a schedule listing the information described in clauses (x) and ‎(y) above; (B) on the date of any increase or decrease in the amount
of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (other than any increase or decrease attributable solely to currency exchange rate fluctuations),
deliver to the Administrative Agent a schedule listing the information described in clauses (x) and (y) above after giving effect to
such increase or decrease (as the case may be) and (C) not later than one Business Day after its receipt of a written request therefor
from the Administrative Agent or any Lender, deliver to the Administrative Agent a schedule listing the information described in clauses
(x), (y) and (z) above. The Administrative Agent shall promptly after its receipt thereof deliver a copy of each such schedule to the
Borrower and the Lenders. For all purposes under this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, the amount in respect of
each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be deemed to equal, on any date of determination, the Dollar Equivalent thereof as most
recently reported to the Administrative Agent by the relevant LC Issuing Bank pursuant to this subsection (k).


 


l.
               It is understood that, if Letters of Credit or Green Letters of Credit are issued in an Alternative
Currency, a circumstance may arise where the Dollars needed to reimburse an LC Issuing Bank may exceed the unused Commitments of the
Lenders, and the amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account available for that purpose. This situation could occur if an Alternative
Currency exchange rate between the currency of a Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit issuance and Dollars changes between the
date of issuance of, and the date of funding a drawing on an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (or funding a deposit to the Cash
Collateral Account to cover issuances in excess of the Commitments) so that more Dollars are needed to purchase the Alternative Currency
on the date of funding of the drawing on an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (or funding a deposit to the Cash Collateral Account)
than would have been needed to fund a drawing made on the issuance date of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit (i.e., the
currency of issuance has appreciated against the Dollar between the date of issuance and the date of funding or cash collateral deposit).
In such a circumstance, the LC Issuing Banks agree as


 




    43 


     


    

follows:
• (x) Any shortfall under the Commitments to purchase participations in drawings under Letters of Credit or Green Letters of Credit
shall be allocated according to the Percentage of the relevant LC Issuing Banks who have issued Alternative Currency Letters of Credit
for which the currency of issuance has appreciated against the Dollar (“Adverse Alternative Currency Letters of Credit”);
(y) the pro rata share shall be based on the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of each Adverse Alternative Currency Letter of Credit,
measured at the issuance date of each such Adverse Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and (z) Commitments shall not be used to purchase
participations in Adverse Alternative Currency Letters of Credit to the extent that use of those Commitments cover any increase in the
Dollar Equivalent of an Adverse Alternative Currency Letters of Credit since the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit or Green Letter
of Credit if following such purchase remaining unused Commitments are insufficient to purchase participations in the remaining outstanding
Letters of Credit or Green Letters of Credit and • amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account shall be allocated first to
cover shortfalls to the extent existing on the last date of actual deposit to the Cash Collateral Account, or if later, the most recent
date of determination pursuant to Section 2.03(k) and second to any additional shortfalls (allocated
pro rata among such shortfalls); provided that funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, if any, may not be applied to fund a
drawing on an Adverse Alternative Currency Letter of Credit to the extent those funds have been allocated to cover an exposure existing
on the last date of deposit to the Cash Collateral Account if following the application a previously covered exposure is left without
cash collateral.


 


SECTION 2.04.Fees.


 


a.             The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment
Fee”) on the average daily unused amount of such Lender’s Commitment from the Restatement Effective Date in the case
of each Bank, and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a Lender, in the case
of each other Lender, until the earlier to occur of the Termination Date applicable to the Commitment of such Lender and, in the case
of the termination in whole of a Lender’s Commitment pursuant to Section 2.05, the date of such termination, payable on the last
day of each March, June, September and December during such period, and on the Termination Date applicable to the Commitment of such
Lender at the rate per annum set forth below in the column identified by the Senior Debt Rating Level:


 


	Senior Debt Rating Level	Level
    1	Level
    2	Level
    3	Level
    4	Level
    5
	Rate
    Per Annum	 	 	 	 	 
	Commitment
    Fee	0.175%	0.225%	0.275%	0.350%	0.500%


 


Any change in the Commitment Fee will
be effective as of the date on which S&P, Moody’s or Fitch, as the case may be, announces the applicable change in any rating
that results in a change in the Senior Debt Rating Level.


 


b.            The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender 


 




    44 


     


    

a
fee (the “LC Fee”) on the average daily amount of the sum of the undrawn stated amounts of all Letters of Credit
outstanding on each such day, from the Restatement Effective Date in the case of each Bank, and from the effective date specified in
the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a Lender, in the case of each other Lender, until the later to occur of the
Termination Date applicable to the Commitment of such Lender and the date on which no Letters of Credit are outstanding, payable on the
last day of each March, June, September and December during such period and such later date, at a rate equal at all times to (i) with
regard to Letters of Credit, the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for Eurodollar Rate Advances and (ii) with regard to Green
Letters of Credit, the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for Green Eurodollar Rate Advances. In addition, the Borrower shall
pay to the LC Issuing Banks such fees for the issuance and maintenance of Letters of Credit and for drawings thereunder as may be separately
agreed between the Borrower and the LC Issuing Banks.


 


c.            The Borrower agrees to pay to each LC Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit, a fronting fee
in the amount separately agreed by the Borrower and such LC Issuing Bank (a “Fronting Fee”) and such other
charges with respect to such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit as are agreed upon with such LC Issuing Bank and as are customary.


 


d.            The Borrower agrees to pay the other fees payable by it in such amounts and on such terms as set forth in the Fee Letter.


 


SECTION 2.05.Adjustment
of the Commitments.


 


a.            The Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative
Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders;
provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof; provided,
further, that the Commitments may not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate stated amount of outstanding Letters
of Credit. Subject to the foregoing, any reduction of the Commitments to an amount that is less than $1,250,000,000 shall also result
in a ratable reduction of the Fronting Commitment of each LC Issuing Bank. Once terminated, a Commitment may not be reinstated except
as provided in Section 2.05(c). For the avoidance of doubt, upon any reduction of the combined Commitments under this Section 2.05 or
otherwise, the Green Loan Sublimit shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis.


 


b.           
The Borrower may terminate in whole the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business
Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions
of Section 2.19(b)(iii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this
Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not
be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuing Bank or any Lender may have against
such Defaulting Lender.


 


c.            
(i) On any date prior to the final Termination Date, but no more than once in each 


 




    45 


     


    

calendar
quarter, the Borrower may increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments by minimum increments of $25,000,000 up to an aggregate amount
not exceeding $250,000,000 for all such increases (any such increase, a “Commitment Increase”) by designating
either (x) one or more of the existing Lenders or one or more Affiliates thereof (each of which, in its sole discretion, may determine
whether and to what degree to participate in such Commitment Increase) or (y) one or more other financial institutions (in the case of
each of clauses (x) and (y), acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuing Banks) that at the time agree, in the case of
any such financial institution that is an existing Lender, to increase its Commitment (an “Increasing Lender”)
and, in the case of any other financial institution or an Affiliate of a Lender (an “Additional Lender”), to
become a party to this Agreement and provide its applicable Commitment. The sum of the increases in the Commitments of the Increasing
Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) plus the Commitments of the Additional Lenders upon giving effect to the Commitment Increase
shall not in the aggregate exceed the amount of the Commitment Increase. The Borrower shall provide notice of any proposed Commitment
Increase pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Lenders.
If any Lender or Affiliate thereof designated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall not have responded to the requested
Commitment Increase on or prior to the date specified by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to
have declined to increase or offer to provide its applicable Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any such Commitment
Increase, the Green Loan Sublimit shall also be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis on the applicable effective date of any Commitment
Increase.


 


(ii)           Any
Commitment Increase shall become effective upon (A) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, signed by the Borrower, each Increasing Lender and each Additional Lender, setting forth the new Commitments
of each such Increasing Lender and setting forth the agreement of each such Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and
provide its applicable Commitment, and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof binding upon each Lender, (B) the funding by
each Increasing Lender and each Additional Lender of the Advance(s) to be made by each such Lender described in paragraph (iii) below,
(C) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate (the statements contained in which shall be true) of a duly authorized officer
of the Borrower stating that both before and after giving effect to such Commitment Increase (1) no Event of Default or event that, with
the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would be an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such
Commitment Increase and (2) all representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement are true and correct in all material
respects (without duplication of materiality qualifications otherwise set forth in such representations and warranties) on and as of
the date of such Commitment Increase, as though made on and as of such date, except for those made specifically as of another date, in
which case such representations and warranties are true and correct as of such other date, and (D) the receipt by the Administrative
Agent of (1) certified copies of the resolutions of the Board of Directors (or the equivalent authorization) of the Borrower authorizing
such Commitment Increase and the performance of this Agreement on and after the Commitment Increase, and of all documents evidencing
other necessary corporate or other organizational action and governmental and regulatory approvals with respect to this Agreement and
such Commitment Increase, (2) an opinion of the counsel of the Borrower, as to such matters


 




    46 


     


    

related
to the foregoing as the Administrative Agent or the Lenders through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (3) such other
documents as the Administrative Agent or the Lenders through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.


 


(iii)         Upon
the effective date of any Commitment Increase, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Borrowings (if any) in full, and shall simultaneously
make new Borrowings hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Advances are held ratably
by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase). Prepayments made under
this paragraph (iii) shall not be subject to the notice requirements of Section 2.11, but shall be subject to Section 8.04(b).


 


(iv)         Notwithstanding
any provision contained herein to the contrary, from and after the date of any Commitment Increase and the making of any Advances on
such date pursuant to paragraph (iii) above, all calculations and payments of the Commitment Fee and the LC Fee and of interest on the
Advances shall take into account the actual Commitment of each Lender and, in the case of interest, the principal amount outstanding
of each Advance made by such Lender during the relevant period of time.


 


SECTION 2.06Repayment
of Advances.


 


a.
              The Borrower shall repay the principal amount of each Advance made by each Lender on the Termination
Date applicable to such Lender.


 


b.             
If at any time the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Credits exceed the Commitments, the Borrower shall pay or prepay
so much of the Borrowings as shall be necessary in order that the Outstanding Credits will not exceed the Commitments.


 


SECTION 2.07.Interest
on Advances.


 


The
Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Lender from the date of such Advance until such
principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:


 


a.
              Base Rate Advances. If such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum
equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for such Base Rate Advance in effect
from time to time, payable quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, on the Termination Date applicable
to such Lender and on each date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.


 


b.             
Eurodollar Rate Advances. Subject to Section 2.08, if such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum
equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Margin for such Eurodollar Rate Advance in effect from time to time, payable on the last day of each Interest Period
for such Eurodollar Rate Advance, on the Termination Date applicable to such Lender and 


 




    47 


     


    

on
each date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three
months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period.


 


c.
             Green Base Rate Advances. If such Advance is a Green Base Rate Advance, a rate
per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for such Green Base
Rate Advance in effect from time to time, payable quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, on the Termination
Date applicable to such Lender and on each date such Green Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.


 


d.              
Green Eurodollar Rate Advances. Subject to Section 2.08, if such Advance is a Green Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate
per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period
plus the Applicable Margin for such Green Eurodollar Rate Advance in effect from time to time, payable on the last day of each
Interest Period for such Green Eurodollar Rate Advance, on the Termination Date applicable to such Lender and on each date such Green
Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on
each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period.


 


SECTION 2.08.Additional
Interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances.


 


The
Borrower shall pay to each Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Advance or Green Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender, from the date
of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder
obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period for such Advance from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such
Eurodollar Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable
on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to
the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.


 


SECTION 2.09.Interest
Rate Determination.


 


a.               The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by
the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a) or 2.07(b).


 


b.               If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Advance or Green Eurodollar Rate Advance and any Benchmark
Transition Event pursuant to Section 2.20:


 




    48 


     


    

(i)               
the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the
Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis; or


 


(ii)              
the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that the Majority Lenders have determined that
the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Advance or Green Eurodollar Rate Advance
does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Advance or Green Eurodollar Rate Advance;


 


then
the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly
as practicable thereafter and, (x) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period
therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, (y) each Green Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing
Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Green Base Rate Advance and (z) until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the
Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make or to Convert Advances
into Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances, Green Eurodollar
Rate Advance or Interest Periods) shall be suspended and the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Eurodollar Rate Advance or
Green Eurodollar Rate Advance, or Conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Advance or Green Eurodollar Rate Advance (to the extent of the affected
Eurodollar Rate Advance, Green Eurodollar Rate Advance or Interest Period) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request
into a request for an Advance of or a Conversion to a Base Rate Advance or Green Base Rate Advance, as applicable, in the amount specified
therein.


 


SECTION 2.10.Conversion
of Advances.


 


a.               The Borrower may, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business
Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.13, on any Business Day, Convert
all Advances of one Type made in connection with the same Borrowing into Advances of another Type; provided, however, that
any Conversion of, or with respect to, any Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances into Advances of another Type shall
be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances, unless
the Borrower shall also reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(b) on the date of such Conversion. Each such
notice of a Conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”) shall be transmitted by facsimile, in substantially the form
of Exhibit A-2 hereto, specifying therein (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion
is into, or with respect to, Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the Interest Period for each
such Advance.


 


b.               If the Borrower shall fail to select the Type of any Advance or the duration of any 


 




    49 


     


    

Interest
Period for any Borrowing comprising Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained
in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01 and Section 2.10(a), or if any proposed Conversion of a Borrowing
that is to comprise Eurodollar Rate Advances upon Conversion shall not occur as a result of the circumstances described in subsection
(c) below, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances are
outstanding, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, and such Advances will automatically, on
the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances or Green Base Rate Advances, as applicable.


 


c.               Each notice of Conversion given pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case
of any Borrowing that is to comprise Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances upon Conversion, the Borrower agrees
to indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender if, as a result of the failure of the Borrower to
satisfy any condition to such Conversion (including, without limitation, the occurrence of any Event of Default, or any event that would
constitute an Event of Default with notice or lapse of time or both), such Conversion does not occur. The Borrower’s obligations
under this subsection (c) shall survive the repayment of all other amounts owing to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement and the termination of the Commitments.


 


d.               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower may not borrow Advances at the Eurodollar
Rate or Convert Advances resulting in Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances at any time an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.


 


SECTION 2.11.Prepayments.


 


a.             Voluntary. The Borrower may, upon notice received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon (New York
City time) on any Business Day, with respect to Base Rate Advances and Green Base Rate Advances, and upon at least two Business Days’
notice to the Administrative Agent, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances, stating the proposed
date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal
amounts of the Advances made as part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of
such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate
principal amount not less than $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) in the case of any such prepayment
of an Eurodollar Rate Advance or Green Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof
pursuant to Section 8.04(b) on the date of such prepayment.


 


b.             Mandatory. If, for any reason, (i) the Outstanding Credits exceed the combined Commitments or (ii) the Green Outstanding
Credits exceed the Green Loan Sublimit, as in effect or as reduced or because of any limitation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise,
the Borrower shall immediately prepay Advances and/or deposit cash in a Cash Collateral Account (without 


 




    50 


     


    

regard
to any minimum amount) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.


 


SECTION 2.12.Increased
Costs.


 


a.
            Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


and the result
of any of the foregoing shall be to (i) increase the cost to such Lender or such other Credit Party of making, converting to, continuing
or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or (ii) to increase the cost to such Lender, such
LC Issuing Bank or such other Credit Party of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit
(or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit), or (iii) to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, LC Issuing Bank or other Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or any other amount), for clauses (i)-(iii) of the foregoing in each case in an amount deemed by such Credit Party to be material, then,
upon request of such Lender, LC Issuing Bank or other Credit Party, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, LC Issuing Bank or other Credit
Party, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, LC Issuing Bank or other Credit Party, as
the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.


 


b.             Capital Requirements. If any Lender or LC Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or
LC Issuing Bank or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or LC Issuing Bank’s holding company, if
any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
or LC Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or LC Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the 


 




    51 


     


    

Advances
made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any LC Issuing Bank, to a level
below that which such Lender or LC Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or LC Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved
but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or LC Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s or LC Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will
pay to such Lender or LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or LC Issuing
Bank or such Lender’s or LC Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.


 


c.             Certificates for Increased Costs. A certificate of a Lender or LC Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or LC Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or
(b) of this Section 2.12 and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender
or LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.


 


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


 


SECTION 2.13.Illegality.


 


Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that any Change in Law makes it unlawful,
or any central bank or other Governmental Body asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform
its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances
or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate
Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders
that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (ii) the Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all Eurodollar Rate
Advances and Green Eurodollar Rate Advances of all Lenders then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, unless the Borrower,
within five Business Days of notice from the Administrative Agent, Converts all Eurodollar Rate Advances and Green Eurodollar Rate Advances
of all Lenders then outstanding into Advances of another Type in accordance with Section 2.10.


 


SECTION 2.14.Payments
and Computations.


 




    52 


     


    

a.            
The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to
the Administrative Agent without defense, setoff or counterclaim at the Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent
will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Commitment Fees ratably
(other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.04, 2.08, 2.12, 2.15, 2.18 or 8.04(b)) to the Lenders for the account of their
respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender or LC Issuing
Bank to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office or to any LC Issuing Bank, in each case to be applied in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein
in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative
Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties
to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly
between themselves.


 


b.          
The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder, to
charge from time to time to the extent permitted by law against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount
so due.


 


c.           
All computations of interest based on clause (i) of the definition of “Base Rate” shall be made by the Administrative
Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate, the
Federal Funds Rate or clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition of “Base Rate” and of the Commitment Fee and the LC Fee shall
be made by the Administrative Agent, and all computations of interest pursuant to Section 2.08 shall be made by a Lender, on the basis
of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest, Commitment Fee or LC Fee is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent (or, in the case
of Section 2.08, by a Lender) of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.


 


d.          
Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, Commitment
Fee or LC Fee, as the case may be; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal
of Eurodollar Rate Advances or Green Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be
made on the next preceding Business Day.


 


e.           
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to
the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has
made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that
the Borrower shall not have so 


 




    53 


     


    

made
such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount
distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until
the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.


 


f.            
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Advance or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder that
is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), and all Advances at any time an Event of Default described
in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(e) shall have occurred and be continuing, shall (to the fullest extent permitted by law) bear interest
from the date when due until paid in full at a rate per annum equal at all times, in the case of each Advance, to the applicable
interest rate in effect from time to time for such Advance plus 2% per annum, and, in the case of other amounts, to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances plus 2% per annum, payable in each case upon demand.


 


SECTION 2.15.Taxes.


 


a.   
        Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” includes each LC Issuing Bank and
the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.


 


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


 


c.           
Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance
with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.


 


d.           
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 30 days after demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) payable or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower
by such Credit Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative 


 




    54 


     


    

Agent
is such Credit Party), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Credit Party, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.


 


e.           
Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after
demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any
Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.07(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent
in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative
Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (e).


 


f.            
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Body pursuant
to this Section 2.15, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


 


g.           
Status of Lenders.


 


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


 




    55 


     


    

(ii)            
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,


 


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


 


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


 


(1)   
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction
of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;


 


(2)   
executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;


 


(3)   
in the case of a Foreign Lender 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 C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C)
of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or


 


(4)   
to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form
W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a
partnership and one or 


 




    56 


     


    

more
direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


 


(C)             any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower 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 Borrower or
the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and


 


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


 


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


 


h.            
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Body with
respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the
amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus any 


 




    57 


     


    

penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (h), in no event will the indemnified party
be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified
party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification
and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts
with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available
its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.


 


i.             
FATCA. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Restatement Effective
Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this
Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i)
and 1.1471-2T(b)(2)(i).


 


j.            
Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.


 


SECTION 2.16.Sharing
of Payments, Etc.


 


If
any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account
of the Advances made by it (other than pursuant to the Fee Letter, Section 2.02(c), 2.08, 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(b)) or, on account of the
Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Outstandings in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the
Advances or on account of such reimbursement obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other
Lenders such participations in the Advances made by them and such reimbursement obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing
Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them, provided, however, that (i) if all or any portion of such
excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender
shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s
ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (A) the total amount so recovered
from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so
recovered and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.16 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the 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
Lender), or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances
or participations in LC Outstandings to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which
the provisions of this


 




    58 


     


    

Section
2.16 shall apply). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.


 


SECTION 2.17.Noteless
Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.


 


a.            Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower
to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable
and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.


 


b.            The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, the
Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.


 


c.            The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such
obligations in accordance with their terms.


 


d.            Any Lender may request that its Advances be evidenced by one or more promissory notes. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender one or more promissory notes payable to such Lender and in a form acceptable to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such note(s) and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any
assignment pursuant to Section 8.07) be represented by notes from the Borrower, payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant
to Section 8.07, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such notes for cancellation and requests
that such Borrowings once again be evidenced as in subsections (a) and (b) above.


 


SECTION 2.18Extension
of Termination Date.


 


a.           
Starting with the date that is 60 days prior to the first anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by delivering an irrevocable written request to the Administrative Agent (the
date of delivery of any such request being the “Borrower Extension Notice Date”), request that each Lender
extend such Lender’s Termination Date for one year after the Termination Date then in effect for such Lender hereunder (the “Existing
Termination Date,” and the effective date of any extension pursuant to this Section 2.18, the “Extension Date”).
The Administrative Agent shall, upon its receipt of such request, promptly notify each Lender thereof, and request that each Lender 


 




    59 


     


    

promptly
advise the Administrative Agent of its approval or rejection of such request. The Borrower may only exercise its right to request an
extension of the Termination Date under this Section 2.18 during the term of this Agreement, on no more than two occasions during the
term of this Agreement, and in no event more frequently than once during any twelve-month period.


 


b.           
Upon receipt of such notification from the Administrative Agent, each Lender acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall,
by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Borrower Extension Notice Date
(the date of such tenth Business Day, the “Lender Extension Notice Date”), notify the Administrative Agent
in writing whether such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Existing Termination Date, an “Extending
Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its Existing Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”)
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Extension
Notice Date) and any Lender that does not advise the Administrative Agent whether it agrees or does not agree to the extension shall
be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower as to each Lender’s determination
under this Section no later than one (1) Business Day after the Administrative Agent receives notice of such Lender’s determination.


 


c.           
If (and only if) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Extending Lenders plus the aggregate additional Commitments of
the Additional Commitment Lenders (as defined below) as of such date shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments
in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the Existing Termination
Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender as of such date shall be extended to the date that is one year
after such Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Existing Termination Date as so extended
shall be the immediately preceding Business Day), and each Additional Commitment Lender as of such date that is not already a Lender
shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 2.18(c), each reference
to an “Additional Commitment Lender” or the “Additional Commitment Lenders” shall be deemed to refer to such
“Additional Commitment Lender” or “Additional Commitment Lenders,” in each case, as of such date of determination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of a Lender’s Existing Termination Date pursuant to this Section shall be effective
with respect to such Lender on the Extension Date only if:


 


(i)              
as of the Extension Date, the remaining term of this Agreement shall not exceed five years; and


 


(ii)             
the Administrative Agent shall have received the following, each dated such date and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent:


 


(A)
a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower to the effect that as of such Extension Date (1) no event has occurred and
is continuing, or would result from the extension of the Termination Date, that constitutes an Event of Default or would, with the giving
of notice or the lapse of time, or both, constitute


 




    60 


     


    

an
Event of Default and (2) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are correct in all material respects (without duplication
of materiality qualifications otherwise set forth in such representations and warranties) on and as of such Extension Date, before and
after giving effect to such extension, as though made on and as of such date, except for those made specifically as of another date,
in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such other date; provided that the representations
and warranties contained in Sections 4.01(e) and 4.01(f) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant
to Section 5.01(c)(i) and (ii),


 


(B)
certified copies of the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower authorizing such extension and the performance of this
Agreement on and after such Extension Date, and of all documents evidencing other necessary organizational action and governmental and
regulatory approvals with respect to this Agreement and such extension of the Termination Date,


 


(C)
an opinion of the counsel of the Borrower, as to such matters related to the foregoing as the Administrative Agent or the Lenders through
the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; and


 


(D)
such other documents as the Administrative Agent or the Lenders through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.


 


d.          
The Borrower shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Existing Termination Date for any Non-Extending
Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more
financial institutions that are Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in
Section 8.07, each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.07, with the Borrower obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee)
with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Existing
Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender,
its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date).


 


e.           
Upon the extension of the Termination Date in accordance with this Section 2.18, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each
Lender and LC Issuing Bank a revised Schedule I setting forth the Commitment of each Lender after giving effect to such extension, and
such Schedule I shall replace the Schedule I in effect before the extension of the Termination Date.


 


f.           
Subject to subsection (c) above, the Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender that has not been replaced pursuant to subsection
(d) above shall automatically terminate on its Existing Termination Date (without regard to any extension by any other Lender). On the
date of any termination and/or assignment of a Non-Extending Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this 


 




    61 


     


    

Section
2.18, the Borrower shall pay or prepay to such Non-Extending Lender the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances of such
Lender with respect to such termination of its Commitment, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal
amount prepaid and all other fees and other amounts due and payable to such Lender hereunder. In the case of any such prepayment of a
Eurodollar Rate Advance or Green Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse each such Lender in respect thereof
pursuant to Section 8.04(b).


 


g.           
Each LC Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, elect not to serve in such capacity following any extension of the Termination
Date; provided that (i) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may appoint a replacement for any such resigning LC Issuing
Bank, and (ii) the extension of the Termination Date may become effective without regard to whether such replacement is found.


 


SECTION 2.19Defaulting
Lenders.


 


a.             Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender
will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Sections 2.04(a) and 2.04(b) (without prejudice to the rights
of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that (i) to the extent that all or a portion of the LC Outstandings
of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19(b), such fees that would have accrued
for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro
rata in accordance with their respective Percentages, and (ii) to the extent that all or any portion of such LC Outstandings cannot
be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the LC Issuing Banks, as applicable (and the pro
rata payment provisions of Section 2.16 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section).


 


b.             If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect
to any LC Outstandings held by such Defaulting Lender:


 


(i)              
The LC Outstandings held by such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be
reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance
with their respective Percentages; provided that (A)(x) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Outstanding Credits (after
giving effect to such reallocation) may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time
of such reallocation and (y) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lender’s Outstanding Credits (after giving effect to such reallocation)
may not in any event exceed the total Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Lenders as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B)
subject to Section 8.20, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver
or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuing Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting
Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting 


 




    62 


     


    

Lender;


 


(ii)             
to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s LC Outstandings
cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than
three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of an LC Issuing Bank), (A) Cash Collateralize the obligations
of the Borrower to the LC Issuing Banks in respect of such LC Outstandings in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the
unreallocated portion of such LC Outstandings, or (B) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to the LC
Issuing Banks, in their sole discretion, to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and


 


(iii)            
any amount paid by the Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under
this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed
to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account until (subject to Section
2.19(f)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and will be applied by the
Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority:
first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second
to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuing Banks (pro rata as to the respective amounts
owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable
to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and
payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them
in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed amounts then
due and payable under Letters of Credit to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due
and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh
after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under
this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.


 


c.             In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting
Lender, each LC Issuing Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to
give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a) in such amounts and in such
times as may be required to (i) reimburse amounts due and payable under Letters of Credit and/or (ii) Cash Collateralize the obligations
of the Borrower in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent
or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit.


 




    63 


     


    

d.             In addition to the other conditions precedent herein set forth, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting
Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, no LC Issuing Bank will be required to issue any Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit
or to amend any outstanding Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit in a manner that constitutes an Extension of Credit, unless such
LC Issuing Bank is satisfied that any exposure that would result therefrom is eliminated or fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting
Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a combination thereof satisfactory to such LC Issuing Bank.


 


e.             If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of
Credit or Green Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding, any LC Issuing Bank may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to
the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.19(b)), by notice to the Borrower and such Defaulting Lender
or Potential Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrower
to such LC Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit in amount at least equal to the aggregate amount
of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender or such Potential Defaulting Lender to be applied
pro rata in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to such LC Issuing Bank
in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender.


 


f.              If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender
or a Potential Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, 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 amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.19(b)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase
at par such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine
to be necessary to cause the Outstanding Credits held by the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Percentages,
whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such
Outstanding Credits held by each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided
that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while
such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute
a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender or Potential
Defaulting Lender.


 


SECTION 2.20. Benchmark
Replacement Setting.


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:


 


a.            
Replacing USD LIBOR. On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority 


 




    64 


     


    

(“FCA”),
the regulatory supervisor of USD LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future
cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12- month USD LIBOR tenor settings. On
the earlier of (i) the date that all Available Tenors of USD LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA
or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (ii)
the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is USD LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for
all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings
without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark
Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.


 


b.           
Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will
replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at
or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without
any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority
Lenders. At any time that the administrator of the then- current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark
or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement
or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended
to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Advances to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s
receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower
will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances or Green Base
Rate Advances, as applicable. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark
will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.


 


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


 


d.            
Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower
and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes. For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent as set 


 




    65 


     


    

forth
in this Section 2.20 may be provided, at the option of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and
may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group
of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.20, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence
or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and
binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except,
in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.20.


 


e.           
Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark
Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may
remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings
and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.


 


f.            
Disclaimer. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability
with respect to (i) the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in
the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof
(including, without limitation any Benchmark Replacement implemented hereunder), (ii) the composition or characteristics of any Benchmark
Replacement, including whether it is similar to, or produces the same value or economic equivalence to USD LIBOR (or any other Benchmark)
or have the same volume or liquidity as did USD LIBOR (or any other Benchmark), (iii) any actions or use of its discretion or other decisions
or determinations made with respect to any matters covered by this Section 2.20 including, without limitation, whether or not a Benchmark
Transition Event has occurred, the removal or lack thereof of unavailable or non-representative tenors, the implementation or lack thereof
of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, the delivery or non-delivery of any notices required by clause (d) above or otherwise
in accordance herewith, and (iv) the effect of any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.20. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
disclaimer of liability shall not apply in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent contemplated
by clause (iii) above to the extent that any claims, damages, losses, liabilities costs or expenses resulting therefrom are finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.

Lien pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Lenders; or (xii) Liens securing up to $1.6 billion in principal amount of the Initial
Notes (as defined in the AES Indenture as in effect on the date hereof) upon and following the occurrence of any Reversion Date (as defined

SECTION 6.02.Remedies.


 


If
any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or
may with the consent, of the Majority Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the obligation of each Lender to make Advances and
the obligation of each LC Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and
(ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Majority Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Advances, all interest
thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such interest
and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry
of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (A) the obligation
of each Lender to make Advances and the obligation of each LC Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated
and (B) the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.


 


SECTION 6.03. Cash Collateral
Account.


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no notice given or declaration made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article VI
shall affect (i) the obligation of any LC Issuing Bank to make any payment under any Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit in accordance
with the terms of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit or (ii) the obligations of each Lender in respect of each such Letter
of Credit or Green Letter of Credit; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall


 




    78 


     


    

at
the request, or may with the consent, of the Majority Lenders, upon notice to the Borrower, require the Borrower to deposit with the
Administrative Agent an amount in the cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) described below
equal to the LC Outstandings on such date; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order
for relief with respect to the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, such deposit requirement shall
be automatically due and payable. Such Cash Collateral Account shall at all times be free and clear of all rights or claims of third
parties. The Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained with the Administrative Agent in the name of, and under the sole dominion and
control of, the Administrative Agent, and amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account shall bear interest at a rate equal to the
rate generally offered by Citibank for deposits equal to the amount deposited by the Borrower in the Cash Collateral Account, for a term
to be determined by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the LC Issuing Banks and the Lenders a Lien in and hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of LC Issuing
Banks and the Lenders all of its right, title and interest in, the Cash Collateral Account and all funds from time to time on deposit
therein to secure its reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit. If any drawings then outstanding or thereafter made
are not reimbursed in full immediately upon demand or, in the case of subsequent drawings, upon being made, then, in any such event,
the Administrative Agent may apply the amounts then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, toward the payment in full of any of the
LC Outstandings as and when such obligations shall become due and payable. Upon payment in full, after the termination of the Letters
of Credit, of all such obligations, the Administrative Agent will repay and reassign to the Borrower any cash then in the Cash Collateral
Account and the Lien of the Administrative Agent on the Cash Collateral Account and the funds therein shall automatically terminate.


 


Article VII.

THE AGENT


 


SECTION 7.01. Authorization
and Action.


 


Each
LC Issuing Bank and Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation,
enforcement or collection of the Advances), 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 Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, 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 Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender and
LC Issuing Bank prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this


 




    79 


     


    

Agreement.


 


SECTION 7.02.Administrative
Agent’s Reliance, Etc.


 


Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the
Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to
be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation
to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral)
made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance
of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or to inspect the property (including the
books and records) of the Borrower; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created
under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (v) shall incur no liability
under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by
facsimile, e-mail, electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and signed
or sent by the proper party or parties.


 


SECTION 7.03.Citibank
and Affiliates.


 


With
respect to its Commitment and the Advances made by it, Citibank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Citibank in its individual capacity. Citibank and its affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, all as if Citibank were
not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.


 


SECTION 7.04.Lender
Credit Decision.


 


Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the
financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(e) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.


 




    80 


     


    

SECTION 7.05.Indemnification.


 


The
Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective
principal amounts of the Advances then outstanding to each of them (or if no Advances are at the time outstanding, ratably according
to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or 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 any action taken or omitted by the Administrative
Agent (in its capacity as such) under this Agreement, provided that no Lender 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. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative
Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any 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, to
the extent that such expenses are reimbursable by the Borrower but for which the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrower.


 


SECTION 7.06.Successor
Administrative Agent.


 


a.           
The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the LC Issuing Banks and the Borrower.
Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America
and a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided that, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required
if an Event of Default, or an event that would constitute an Event of Default with notice or lapse of time or both, has occurred and
is continuing. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority
Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to), on behalf of the Lenders and the LC Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth
above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor
has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.


 


b.           
If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Majority
Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative
Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or 


 




    81 


     


    

delayed),
appoint a successor; provided that, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default, or an event that
would constitute an Event of Default with notice or lapse of time or both, has occurred and is continuing. If no such successor shall
have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall
be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.


 


c.           
The Majority Lenders may at any time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and to the
Person serving as Administrative Agent remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor; provided that, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required
if an Event of Default, or an event that would constitute an Event of Default with notice or lapse of time or both, has occurred and
is continuing. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment by
the Removal Effective Date, then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective
Date. On the Removal Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay in full all amounts due and payable to the removed Administrative Agent hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents.


 


d.           
With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity
payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by,
to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each LC Issuing Bank directly, until such time,
if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.04 shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative
Agent.


 


SECTION 7.07.Appointment
and Resignation of LC Issuing Banks.


 


(a)           Each
Lender who after the Restatement Effective Date agrees to become an LC Issuing Bank hereunder, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent a LC Issuing Bank Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto prior to issuing any letters of credit at the request
or for the benefit of the Borrower. Upon execution and delivery by a Lender to the


 




    82 


     


    

Administrative
Agent of a LC Issuing Bank Agreement, such Lender shall become a party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations
of a LC Issuing Bank as set forth herein. If the Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state
thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from, or reduction in, deduction
or withholding of any United States federal income taxes as required by Section 2.15.


 


(b)           Any
LC Issuing Bank may resign at any time by notifying the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. Subject to the appointment
and acceptance of a successor LC Issuing Bank as provided below, such retiring LC Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect
to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend,
renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit. Upon receipt by the Borrower of such notice of intent to resign,
the Borrower and such retiring LC Issuing Bank may agree to replace or terminate the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such LC
Issuing Bank, and shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such replacement or termination. Upon any such resignation, the Majority
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor LC Issuing Bank acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor shall have been so appointed
by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 60 days after the retiring LC Issuing Bank gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring LC Issuing Bank may appoint a successor LC Issuing Bank, with an office in the United States of America
and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment
as LC Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring LC Issuing Bank and the retiring LC Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.
After an LC Issuing Bank’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.15 and 8.04 shall continue in effect for its
benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an LC Issuing Bank.


 


SECTION 7.08.Trust Indenture
Act.


 


In
the event that the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates shall be or become an indenture trustee under the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939 (as amended, the “Trust Indenture Act”) in respect of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Borrower,
the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payment or property received in satisfaction of or in respect of any of the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder by or on behalf of Citibank in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Lender hereunder (other
than Citibank or an Affiliate of Citibank) and that is applied in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be exempt from
the requirements of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 311(b)(3) of the Trust Indenture Act.


 


SECTION 7.09.Erroneous
Payments.


 


a.             If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party, 


 




    83 


     


    

or
any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party (any such Lender, LC Issuing Bank, Credit Party
or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”), that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion
(whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 7.09(b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative
Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted
to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, LC Issuing Bank,
Credit Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment
of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”)
and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain
the property of the Administrative Agent and pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 7.09 and held in trust
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment
Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business
Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative
Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency
so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each
day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount
is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds 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 from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative
Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.


 


b.            Without limiting Section 7.09(a), each Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf
of a Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received
as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any
of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice
of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment
or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent
(or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware
was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then, in each such case:


 


(i)        it
acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have
been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) in the case of immediately preceding clause
(z), an error and mistake has been made, in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and


 


(ii)       such
Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party shall (and shall cause any


 




    84 


     


    

other
recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of
occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of
its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 7.09(b).


 


For the avoidance
of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.09(b) shall not have any effect on a
Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.09(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.


 


c.           Each Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable
by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal,
interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under Section 7.09(a).


 


d.           (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after
demand therefor in accordance with Section 7.09(a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or
from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount,
an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any
time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be
deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous
Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative
Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest
(with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed
to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption
by reference pursuant to SyndTrak, DebtDomain, IntraLinks, ClearPar or any like web portal as to which the Administrative Agent and such
parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing
such Advances to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect
the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired
the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall
become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender
hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under
the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable 


 




    85 


     


    

Commitments
which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived
any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will
reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance
of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


(ii)       Subject
to Section 8.07 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)),
the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and
upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by
the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies
and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous
Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal
and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to
any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances
are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount
specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.


 


e.
           The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an
Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion
thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and,
in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party, to the rights and
interests of such Lender, LC Issuing Bank or Credit Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the
“Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan
Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such obligations in respect of Advances
that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall
not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Borrower hereunder; provided that this Section
7.09 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due
date for), the obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the obligations that would have been
payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance
of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect
to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, equal to the amount of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower
for


 




    86 


     


    

the
purpose of making a payment hereunder that resulted in such Erroneous Payment.


 


f.            To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby
waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim
or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense
based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.


 


g.           Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 7.09 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or LC Issuing Bank, the termination
of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.


 


Article VIII.
MISCELLANEOUS


 


SECTION 8.01.Amendments,
Etc.


 


Subject
to Section 2.20, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment,
waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders, do any of the following: (a) waive any of the conditions specified
in Section 3.01 or 3.02, (b) increase the Commitments of the Lenders (other than pursuant to Section 2.05(c)), extend the Commitments
of the Lenders (other than pursuant to Section 2.18) or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations, (c) reduce the principal of,
or interest (or rate of interest) on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (d) postpone any date fixed for any
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than pursuant to Section
2.18), (e) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances, or change the definition
of “Majority Lenders” or the number of Lenders that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder,
(f) change the provisions requiring pro rata sharing of payments under Section 2.14 or amend or waive Section 2.16 or (g) amend this
Section 8.01; and provided further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative
Agent and the LC Issuing Banks in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent or the LC Issuing Banks under this Agreement, and provided further, that this Agreement may be amended and restated without
the consent of any Lender, any LC Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement,
such Lender, such LC Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so
amended and restated) or have any Commitment or other obligation hereunder or under any Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit and
shall have been paid in full all amounts payable hereunder to such Lender, such LC Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case
may be.


 




    87 


     


    

Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder, and the Commitments and the outstanding
Advances or other Extensions of Credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Majority Lenders
or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Majority Lenders”
will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided, that any such amendment or waiver
that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal
or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender,
reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting
Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 8.03.No Waiver;
Remedies.


 


No
failure on the part of any Lender, any LC Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive


 




    88 


     


    

of
any remedies provided by law.


 


SECTION 8.04.Costs and
Expenses; Indemnification.


 


a.           
The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuing Banks in connection
with the preparation, execution, delivery, syndication administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent and
the LC Issuing Banks with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities
under this Agreement. Any invoices to the Borrower with respect to the aforementioned expenses shall describe such costs and expenses
in reasonable detail. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses, if any (including, without limitation, counsel
fees and expenses of outside counsel and of internal counsel), incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuing Banks
in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, and the protection of the rights
of the Lenders under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses
in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a).


 


b.           
If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance or Green Eurodollar Rate Advance is made other than
on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(iii), 2.09,
2.10, 2.11 or 2.13, acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.02, assignment to another Lender upon demand of
the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(e) for any other reason, the Borrower shall, upon demand by any Lender or any LC Issuing Bank (with
a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such LC Issuing
Bank any amounts required to compensate such Lender or such LC Issuing Bank for any additional losses, costs or expenses which it may
reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits
upon such Lender’s or such LC Issuing Bank’s representation to the Borrower that it has made reasonable efforts to mitigate
such loss), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to
fund or maintain such Advance. Any Lender making a demand pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) shall provide the Borrower with a written
certification of the amounts required to be paid to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the Lender’s determination
of such amounts; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in
any certification provided pursuant hereto, and the failure of any Lender to provide such certification shall not affect the obligations
of the Borrower hereunder.


 


c.           
The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each Lender, each LC Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and each Related
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all
claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, whether or not such
Indemnified Person is named as a party to any proceeding or is otherwise subjected to judicial or legal process arising from any such
proceeding) that any of them may incur or which may be 


 




    89 


     


    

claimed
against any of them by any Person or entity by reason of or in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or the use by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of
the proceeds of any Advance or the use by the Borrower or any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit of such Letter
of Credit or Green Letter of Credit, AND THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES ARE IN
ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY, OR ARE CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART,
BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON, except that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to any indemnification
hereunder to the extent that such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses are finally determined in a non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.
The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 8.04(c) shall survive the repayment of all amounts owing to the Lenders, the LC Issuing
Banks, and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the termination of the Commitments. If and to the extent that the obligations
of the Borrower under this Section 8.04(c) are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to
the payment and satisfaction thereof which is permissible under applicable law.


 


d.          
The Borrower also agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Lender, any LC Issuing Bank, any of such Lender’s
or such LC Issuing Bank’s affiliates (each, a “Lender-Related Party”), or any of their respective directors,
officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising
out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein or
the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the use by the Borrower or any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or Green
Letter of Credit of such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit. No Lender-Related Party shall be liable for any damages arising
from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic
or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby.


 


SECTION 8.05.Right of
Set-off.


 


Upon
(i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent
specified by Section 6.02 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.02, each Lender and each LC Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such LC Issuing Bank, as applicable, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether or not such Lender or
such LC Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured;


 




    90 


     


    

provided
that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over
immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19(b)(iii) and, pending
such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, the LC Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement
describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender
and each LC Issuing Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or such LC
Issuing Bank, as applicable, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
The rights of each Lender and each LC Issuing Bank under this Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Lender or such LC Issuing Bank may have.


 


SECTION 8.06.Binding
Effect.


 


This
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuing Bank and each Lender and their
respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign or delegate any rights hereunder (or any
interest herein) or duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and all the Lenders.


 


SECTION 8.07.Assignments
and Participations.


 


a.            
Successors and Assigns by Lenders Generally. No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation
in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject
to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null
and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and,
to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.


 


b.            
Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it); provided
that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:


 


(i)              
Minimum Amounts.


 




    91 


     


    

(A)            
in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Advances at
the time owing to it (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in subsection (b)(i)(B)
of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned;
and


 


(B)             
in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose
includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of
the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption,
as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).


 


(ii)             
Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advances or the Commitment assigned.


 


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


 


(A)            
the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;


 


(B)             
the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments
if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment or an Affiliate of such Lender; and


 


(C)             
the consent of each LC Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.


 


(iv)            
Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent
may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.


 




    92 


     


    

(v)              
No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender, any Potential Defaulting Lender or any of their respective Subsidiaries,
or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender, a Potential Defaulting Lender or any of their
respective Subsidiaries.


 


(vi)             
No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment
vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).


 


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


 


Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under
this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12,
2.15 and 8.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that
except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver
or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer
by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and


 




    93 


     


    

obligations
in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.


 


c.   
Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at
its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


 


d.           
Participations. Each Lender may at any time sell participations to one or more banks, financial institutions or
other entities (other than a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary
benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”)
in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the maker of any such
Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks and the other Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 7.05 with respect to any payments
made by such Lender to its Participant(s).


 


Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right
to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that
such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver with respect to the provision in Section 8.01 relating to amendments, waivers or consents requiring unanimous consent of the
Lenders that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and
2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 8.05 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though
it were a Lender. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 and 2.15 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were
a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such


 




    94 


     


    

Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address
of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations
under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation
to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to
a Participant’s interest in any commitments, advances, 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, advance, letter of credit or other obligation
is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall
be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the
owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.


 


e.            
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.


 


(i)               
Designation of a Different Applicable Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or
requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Body for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different
Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to
any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.


 


(ii)              
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to
pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Applicable Lending Office in accordance with Section
8.07(e)(i), or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, a Non-Extending Lender, a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender,
then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section
8.07(b)), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.15) and obligations
under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such 


 




    95 


     


    

obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:


 


(A)            
no event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes an Event of Default or that would constitute an Event of Default but
for the requirement that notice be given or time elapse or both;


 


(B)             
the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.07(b);


 


(C)            
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances and participations in
LC Outstandings, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(including any amounts under Section 8.04(b)) 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);


 


(D)            
in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;


 


(E)             
such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and


 


(F)             
in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender or Non-Extending Lender, the applicable
assignee shall have consented to the applicable extension, amendment, waiver or consent.


 


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


 


f.            
Certain Pledges. Anything in this Section 8.07 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time pledge
or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.


 


g.           
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant
to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) of such Granting Lender identified as such in writing from
time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks and the Borrower, the option to provide to the
Borrower all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the 


 




    96 


     


    

Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any such SPC to make any Advance,
(ii) if such SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender
shall be obligated to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) no SPC or Granting Lender shall be entitled to receive
any greater amount pursuant to Section 2.12 or 8.04(b) than the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive had the Granting
Lender not otherwise granted such SPC the option to provide any Advance to the Borrower. The making of an Advance by an SPC hereunder
shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were made by such Granting Lender. Each
party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which
a Lender would otherwise be liable so long as, and to the extent that, the related Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such
payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement)
that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness
of any SPC, it will not institute against or join any other person in instituting against such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Granting
Lender unconditionally agrees to indemnify the Borrower, the LC Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and each Lender against all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
which may be incurred by or asserted against the Borrower, the LC Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be, in any way relating to or arising as a consequence of any such forbearance or delay in the initiation of any such proceeding
against its SPC. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that no SPC shall have the rights of a Lender hereunder, such rights
being retained by the applicable Granting Lender. Accordingly, and without limiting the foregoing, each party hereby further acknowledges
and agrees that no SPC shall have any voting rights hereunder and that the voting rights attributable to any Advance made by an SPC shall
be exercised only by the relevant Granting Lender and that each Granting Lender shall serve as the administrative agent and attorney-in-fact
for its SPC and shall on behalf of its SPC receive any and all payments made for the benefit of such SPC and take all actions hereunder
to the extent, if any, such SPC shall have any rights hereunder. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of any other party hereto, assign all or a portion of
its interest in any Advances to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any information relating to its Advances
to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This
Section 8.07(g) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Advance is being
funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment.

original to the party making such request promptly following such request.


 


SECTION 8.11.Electronic
Communications.


 




    98 


     


    

a.           
The Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent the Borrower is so able, it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information,
documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including, without
limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but
excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension

the Administrative Agent to oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com. In addition, the Borrower
agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement but only to the
extent requested by the Administrative Agent. To the extent the Borrower is unable to deliver any portion of the Communications in an
electronic/soft medium form, the Borrower shall promptly deliver hard copies of such Communications to the Administrative Agent.


 


b.          
The Borrower further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders and the LC Issuing
Banks by posting the Communications on DebtDomain, the Internet or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”).
The Borrower acknowledges that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are
confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.


 


c.          
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 THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER, ANY LC ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR

    99

d.          
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 Lender
and each LC Issuing 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 Lender or such LC Issuing Bank for purposes of this
Agreement. Each Lender and each LC Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication)
from time to time of (i) such Lender’s or such LC Issuing Bank’s e- mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent
by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

provision of this Agreement that is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or non- authorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof
or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions
of this Section 8.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders
shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuing Bank, as applicable,
then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.


 


SECTION 8.13Headings.


 


Section headings
in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other
purpose.


 


SECTION 8.14. USA PATRIOT
Act Notice.


 


Each
Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act, each LC Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender)
hereby notifies the Borrower pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act that it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such
Lender, such LC Issuing Bank or the


 




    100 


     


    

Administrative
Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries
to, provide to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent, any LC Issuing Bank or any Lender in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the
Patriot Act.


 


SECTION 8.15. Confidentiality.


 


Each
of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each LC Issuing Bank agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators,
trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives on a “need to know” basis
(it being understood that the Persons to which such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information
and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction
over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii)
to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto,
(v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement
of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.15, to (A)
any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
or (B) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
advisors and other representatives) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference
to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (C) any rating agency, (D) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any
similar organization or (E) any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the
Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information


 


(x)            becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.15 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, the LC Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower. In addition, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuing Banks may disclose the existence of this Agreement and
information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuing Banks in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and the Commitments.


 


For
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available
to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the
Restatement Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain
the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 8.15 shall be considered to have complied


 




    101 


     


    

with
its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.


 


SECTION 8.16.Entire
Agreement.


 


This
Agreement, the Fee Letter and the Notes issued hereunder constitute the entire agreement among the parties relative to the subject matter
hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement, except (i)
as expressly agreed in any such previous agreement and (ii) for the Fee Letter. Except as is expressly provided for herein, nothing in
this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto any rights, remedies, obligations
or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.


 


SECTION 8.17.No Fiduciary
Duty.


 


The
Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section, the “Lender Parties”),
may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its securities holders and/or their Affiliates. The Borrower agrees
that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or
other implied duty between any Lender Party, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its securities holders or its Affiliates, on the other
hand. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights
and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and
the Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Party has assumed an
advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its securities holders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether
any Lender Party has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its securities holders or its Affiliates on other matters)
or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and (y) each Lender Party is
acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, securities holders, creditors or any other
Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate
and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.
The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary
or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.


 


SECTION 8.18.[reserved].


 


SECTION 8.19.Amendment
and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement.


 




    102 


     


    

This
Agreement continues in effect the Existing Credit Agreement, and the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety
by the terms and provisions of this Agreement, which shall supersede all terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement effective
from and after the Restatement Effective Date. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a novation of any indebtedness
or other obligations owing by the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement or a waiver or release of any indebtedness or other obligations
owing, or any “Event of Default” or event that, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would be an “Event
of Default” (each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) existing, under the Existing Credit Agreement based on any facts
or events occurring or existing at or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. On the Restatement Effective Date, the credit
facilities described in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, supplemented, modified and restated in their entirety by the
credit facilities described herein, and all “Outstanding Credits” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of the Borrower
that are not being paid on such date and remain outstanding as of such date under the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be deemed to be
Outstanding Credits under the corresponding facilities described herein, without further action by any Person.


 


SECTION 8.20.Acknowledgment
and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.


 


Solely
to the extent that 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 Credit Party 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:


 


(a)           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 Credit Party that is an Affected Financial Institution; and


 


(b)           the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:


 


(i)              
a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;


 


(ii)             
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


 


(iii)           
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.

the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Rate Contracts 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 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
(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), that in the event that 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 that 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 Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to
a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.


 


SECTION 8.23.Interest
Rate Limitation.


 


Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance or Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit,
together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Advance or Letter of Credit or Green Letter of
Credit under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the


 




    105 


     


    

Lender
making such Advance or the LC Issuing Bank issuing such Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit in accordance with applicable law,
the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance or Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit hereunder, together with all Charges
payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Advance or Letter of Credit or Green Letter of Credit but were not payable as a result of the operation
of this Section 8.23 shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such Lender or LC Issuing Bank in respect of other Advances
or Letters of Credit or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate applicable thereto) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Applicable Margin to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender or LC Issuing Bank.


 


SECTION 8.24.Judgment Currency. 


 


If
for the purposes of enforcing the obligations of the Borrower hereunder it is necessary to convert a sum due from such Person in Dollars
into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used
shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent and the Lenders could purchase Dollars with
such currency at or about 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations
in respect of any sum due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall, notwithstanding any adjudication expressed in
a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may in accordance with
normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such other currency; if the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally
due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in Dollars, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so,
as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such adjudication, to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against such
loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, it shall
remit such excess to the Borrower.
