Section 1.06.          Timing
of Payment of Performance. When payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated
to be due or required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition
of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of
any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.


 


Section 1.07.          Times
of Day. Unless otherwise specified herein, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York City time

Section 1.08.          Currency
Equivalents Generally.


 


(a)          With
respect to amounts denominated in currencies other than Dollars:


 


(i)            For
purposes of any determination under Article 1, Article 5, Article 6 (other than Section 6.13
and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder) or Article 7
with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition,
Affiliate transaction or other transaction, event or circumstance, or any determination under any other provision of this Agreement
(any of the foregoing, a “specified transaction”), in a currency other than Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent amount
of a specified transaction in a currency other than Dollars shall be determined by the Borrower in good faith; provided,
that (A) if any Indebtedness is incurred (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) to refinance or replace other Indebtedness
denominated in a currency other than Dollars, and the relevant refinancing or replacement would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated
restriction to be exceeded if the Dollar Equivalent thereof were determined on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such
Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing or
replacement Indebtedness (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal
amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, except by an amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest, penalties
and premiums (including tender premiums) thereon plus reasonable and customary fees and expenses (including to the extent
customary and at then current market rates at the time of such refinancing or replacement, upfront fees and original issue discount,
payable generally to the holders of such refinancing indebtedness) incurred in connection with such refinancing or replacement
and the Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and (z) additional
amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01, and (B) for the avoidance of doubt, no Default or Event of
Default shall occur or be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in the rate of currency exchange occurring after
the time of any specified transaction so long as such specified transaction was permitted at the time incurred, made, acquired,
committed, entered or declared as set forth above.

(ii)            For
purposes of Section 6.13 and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action
hereunder, on any relevant date of determination, amounts denominated in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into
Dollars at the applicable rate of currency exchange used in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or
(b) (or, prior to the first such delivery, the financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a)(i)(z)),
as applicable, for the relevant Test Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that
the Borrower would not be in compliance with Section 6.13 if any Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than
Dollars were to be translated into Dollars on the basis of the applicable rate of currency exchange used in preparing the financial
statements for the relevant Test Period, but would be in compliance with Section 6.13 if such Indebtedness that is
denominated in a currency other than in Dollars were instead translated into Dollars on the basis of the average relevant rate
of currency exchange over such Test Period, then, solely for purposes of compliance with Section 6.13, the Financial
Covenant set forth in Section 6.13(a) as of the last day of such Test Period shall be calculated on the basis of such
average relevant rate of currency exchange.


 


(b)          [Reserved].


 


Section 1.09.          [Reserved].


 


Section 1.10.          Certain
Calculations and Tests.


 


(a)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, but subject to this Section 1.10, all financial ratios and tests (including the Total
Net Debt to Total Assets Ratio, the Senior Net Debt to Total Assets Ratio and the amount of Consolidated Total Assets and the component
definitions of any of the foregoing) contained in this Agreement shall be calculated with respect to any applicable Test Period
to give effect to all Subject Transactions on a Pro Forma Basis that occurred on or after the first day of such Test Period and
on or prior to the date of any required calculation of any financial ratio or test (which may be after the end of such Test Period);
provided, that solely for purposes of calculating quarterly compliance with Section 6.13, no Subject Transaction
occurring after the last day of the Test Period shall be taken into account or given pro forma effect.

(d)          [Reserved].


 


(e)          The
principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall
be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Borrower dated such date prepared in accordance with
GAAP. The increase in amounts secured by Liens by virtue of accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of
interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and increases in the amount
of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an incurrence
of Liens for purposes of Section 6.02.


 


(f)           For
purposes of determining at any time compliance with, or availability under, Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.04,
6.06, 6.07, 6.08 or 6.09 (including any applicable defined terms used therein), in the event that any
Indebtendess, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition, Affiliate transaction or and any
related transactions, as applicable, meets the criteria of more than one of the Baskets (including, without limitation, sub-clauses,
sub-categories or sub-items) permitted pursuant to any clause of such Section 6.01 (other than Section 6.01(a) with
respect to the Initial Term Loans incurred on the Initial Funding Date), 6.02 (other than Section 6.02(a) to
the extent securing Initial Term Loans incurred on the Initial Funding Date), 6.04, 6.06, 6.07, 6.08
or 6.09 or in any defined term used in any of the foregoing, in each case, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may, at
any time and from time to time, divide, classify or reclassify such transaction or item (or portion thereof) under one or more
Baskets of each such Section (and/or applicable defined terms) and will only be required to include the amount and type of
such transaction (or portion thereof) in any one applicable Basket thereof.


 


(g)          [Reserved].


 


(h)          Interest
on a Finance Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Financial Officer of the
Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Finance Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.

THE CREDITS


 


Section 2.01.          Commitments.


 


(a)          Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Initial Term Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make an Initial Term
Loan to the Borrower on the Initial Funding Date in Dollars in a principal amount not to exceed its Initial Term Loan Commitment.
Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Initial Term Loans may not be re-borrowed.


 


(b)          Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, severally and not jointly, agrees
to make Delayed Draw Term Loans to the Borrower during the Delayed Draw Availability Period, which Delayed Draw Term Loans shall
not exceed for any such Lender at the time of any incurrence thereof the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of such Lender as set
forth on Schedule 1.01(a). Other than a borrowing of the entire balance of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, each
borrowing on Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $20,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess
of that amount.

Section 2.03.          Requests
for Borrowings. Each Term Loan borrowing shall be made upon irrevocable notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
(provided that notices in respect of Term Loan Borrowings to be made in connection with any acquisition, investment or
irrevocable repayment or redemption of Indebtedness may be conditioned on the closing of such Permitted Acquisition, permitted
Investment or permitted irrevocable repayment or redemption of Indebtedness).  Each such notice must be in the form of a
written Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and must be received by
the Administrative Agent (by hand delivery, fax or other electronic transmission (including “.pdf” or “.tif”))
not later than (i) with respect to the Initial Term Loans borrowing, by 11:00 a.m. two (2) days prior to the Initial
Funding Date (or such shorter time as agreed by the Required Lenders) or (ii) with respect to any Delayed Draw Term Loan
borrowing, 11:00 a.m. twelve (12) Business Days prior to the requested day of any such borrowing. The Borrower may make up
to three (3) borrowing requests for Delayed Draw Term Loans and after which the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall
automatically be reduced to zero.

Section 2.06.          [Reserved].


 


Section 2.07.          Funding
of Borrowings.


 


(a)           Each
Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated
by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage. The
Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds,
to the account designated in the relevant Borrowing Request or as otherwise directed by the Borrower.


 


(b)           Unless
the Administrative Agent has received notice from any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s share of any borrowing prior to the proposed date of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if any Lender has
not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding
the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation
or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such borrowing at such time. If such
Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
borrowing and the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall
cease. If the Borrower pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such borrowing
by such amount. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice
any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower or any other Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any
default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.09.          Termination
of Commitments; Extension of Commitment Period.


 


(a)          Unless
previously terminated, (i) the Initial Term Loan Commitments as of the Closing Date shall automatically terminate upon the
making of the Initial Term Loans on the Initial Funding Date and (ii) the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall automatically
be reduced dollar-for-dollar upon the making of each Delayed Draw Term Loan and the undrawn amount of Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments
thereof shall automatically terminate upon expiration of the Delayed Draw Availability Period and as provided in Section 2.03.


 


(b)           The
Borrower shall have the option to extend the Original Delayed Draw Availability Period (the “Extension Option”)
so that such period extends from the Closing Date to the date that is the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Extended
Delayed Draw Availability Period”) if the following two conditions are satisfied (i) the Administrative Agent has
received a duly executed and completed Delayed Draw Commitment Extension Notice signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower
at least five days prior to the expiration of the Original Delayed Draw Availability Period and (ii) the Administrative Agent,
on behalf of the Delayed Draw Term Lenders, has received the Delayed Draw Commitment Extension Fee prior to expiration of the Original
Delayed Draw Availability Period. The Original Delayed Draw Availability Period shall be immediately and automatically extended
upon satisfaction of the aforementioned two conditions, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender in the event
such period is extended.


 


Section 2.10.          Repayment
of Loans; Evidence of Debt.


 


(a)           The
Borrowers hereby jointly and severally unconditionally promise to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the Maturity Date, in an amount equal to the remainder of the principal
amount of the Term Loans outstanding on such date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount
to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment, and all fees, expenses payable under the terms of the Loan Documents and
all other Obligations accrued in respect thereof, including, if applicable, the Prepayment Premium.


 


(b)           Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers
to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to
such Lender from time to time hereunder.


 


(c)           The
Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register in accordance with Section 9.05(b)(iv), and shall maintain accounts
in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class thereof and the Interest Period (if any)
applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower
to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of
the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.


 


(d)           The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section shall be
prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein (absent manifest error); provided
that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any manifest error therein shall not in
any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided,
further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section and any Lender’s records, the accounts of the Lenders shall govern.


 






    53


     


    

 


(e)           Any
Lender may request that any Term Loan made by it be evidenced by a Promissory Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver a Promissory Note to such Lender payable to such Lender and its registered assigns; it being understood and
agreed that such Lender (and/or its applicable assign) shall be required to return such Promissory Note to the Borrower in accordance
with Section 9.05(b)(iii) and upon the occurrence of the Termination Date (or as promptly thereafter as practicable).
If any Lender loses the original copy of its Promissory Note, it shall execute an affidavit of loss containing an indemnification
provision reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower.


 


Section 2.11.          Prepayment
of Loans.


 


(a)           Optional
Prepayments.


 


(i)             Upon
prior notice in accordance with paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers shall have the right at any
time and from time to time to prepay any borrowing of Term Loans of one or more Classes (such Class or Classes to be selected
by the Borrower in its sole discretion) in whole or in part without premium or penalty, other than the Prepayment Premium, if applicable.
Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the relevant Class.


 


(ii)            The
Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any prepayment under this Section 2.11(a), not later
than 2:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable (except as
set forth in the proviso to this sentence) and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each borrowing or
portion thereof or each relevant Class to be prepaid and shall include the amount of Prepayment Premium (if any) due on such
amount; provided that any notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other
transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the
specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to any borrowing,
the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any borrowing
shall be a minimum amount equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the outstanding
remaining balance of Term Loans). Each prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied to the Class or Classes of Term Loans specified
in the applicable prepayment notice and consistent with the requirements hereof, and each prepayment of Term Loans of such Class or
Classes made pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be applied first to the Prepayment Premium, if any, second
to accrued Interest due on the amount of prepayment, third to the principal amount of outstanding Term Loans (other than Term Loans
constituting PIK Interest) and fourth, to the principal amount of outstanding Term Loans constituting PIK Interest.


 


(iii)           FOR
THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ANY PAYMENT OR PREPAYMENT MADE PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11(a) SHALL
BE SUBJECT TO THE APPLICABLE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM.


 


(b)          Mandatory
Prepayments.


 


(i)             To
the extent any Junior Debt receives a cash interest payment in any Interest Period, the Borrower shall promptly prepay the Term
Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of cash interest paid in such Interest Period in respect of such
Junior Debt and (y) the amount of any outstanding PIK Interest (calculated at the time such cash interest payment is made)
that has been added to the outstanding amount of the Term Loans (excluding any portion of PIK Interest in respect of which the
Borrower has previously made a cash payment pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(i) or otherwise repaid in cash prior
to such time); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in addition to any Junior Debt, this Section 2.11(b)(i) shall
apply to any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Convertible Notes if the effective yield (calculated in a manner consistent
with generally accepted financial practice based on the interest rate and fees payable by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to
all the holders of the relevant Refinancing Indebtedness) on such Refinancing Indebtedness is more than the then current market
rates at the time of such refinancing.


 






    54


     


    

 


(ii)            No
later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the receipt of Net Proceeds in respect of any Prepayment Asset Sale
or Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, in each case, in excess of $5,000,000 in any Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall apply an amount
equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds or Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds received with respect thereto in excess of such threshold
(collectively, the “Subject Proceeds”) to prepay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans then subject
to prepayment requirements (the “Subject Loans”) in accordance with clause (vi) below; provided
that (A) so long as the Borrower does not notify the Administrative Agent in writing prior to the date any such prepayment
is required to be made that it does not intend to (I) reinvest (including to make capital expenditures) the Subject Proceeds
in the business (other than Cash or Cash Equivalents) (including, without limitation, investments in CRE Finance Assets) of Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries, then, the Borrower shall not be required to make a mandatory prepayment under this clause (ii) in
respect of the Subject Proceeds to the extent (x) the Subject Proceeds are so reinvested within 12 months following receipt
thereof, or (y) Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries has committed to so reinvest the Subject Proceeds during such 12 month
period and the Subject Proceeds are so reinvested within 180 days after the expiration of such 12 month period (it being understood
that if the Subject Proceeds have not been so reinvested prior to the expiration of the applicable period, the Borrower shall promptly
prepay the Subject Loans with the amount of Subject Proceeds not so reinvested as set forth above in this clause (I)) and (B) if,
at the time that any such prepayment would be required hereunder, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is required to prepay any
Pari Passu Debt, then the relevant Person may apply the Subject Proceeds on a pro rata basis to the prepayment of the Subject Loans
and to the prepayment of such Pari Passu Debt (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Subject
Loans and such Pari Passu Debt (or accreted amount if such Pari Passu Debt is issued with original issue discount) at such time);
it being understood that (1) the portion of the Subject Proceeds allocated to such Pari Passu Debt shall not exceed the amount
of the Subject Proceeds required to be allocated to such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount,
if any, of the Subject Proceeds shall be allocated to the Subject Loans in accordance with the terms hereof, and the amount of
the prepayment of the Subject Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(ii) shall
be reduced accordingly and (2) to the extent the holders of such Pari Passu Debt decline to have such Indebtedness Prepaid,
the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay
the Subject Loans to the extent required in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11(b)(ii).


 


(iii)           In
the event that Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives Net Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness by Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01) the Borrower
shall, promptly upon (and in any event not later than two Business Days thereafter) the receipt thereof of such Net Proceeds by
the Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds to prepay the outstanding principal
amount of the Term Loans in accordance with clause (vi) below.


 






    55


     


    

 


(iv)            Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 2.11(b) to the contrary:


 


(A)            the
Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii) above
to the extent that the relevant Prepayment Asset Sale is consummated by any Foreign Subsidiary or the relevant Net Insurance/Condemnation
Proceeds are received by any Foreign Subsidiary, as the case may be, for so long as the repatriation to the Borrower of any such
amount would be prohibited under any Requirement of Law or conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s
directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal, civil or criminal liability
for any officer, director, employee, manager, member of management or consultant of such Foreign Subsidiary (it being agreed that,
solely within 365 days following the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds, the Borrower shall take all commercially
reasonable actions required by applicable Requirements of Law to permit such repatriation) (it being understood that if the repatriation
of the relevant Subject Proceeds is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law and, to the extent applicable, would no longer
conflict with the fiduciary duties of such director, or result in, or be reasonably expected to result in, a material risk of personal,
civil or criminal liability for the Persons described above, in either case, an amount equal to such Subject Proceeds will be promptly
applied (net of additional Taxes that would be payable or reserved against as a result of repatriating such amounts) to the repayment
of the applicable Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to
this clause (iv))),


 


(B)            the
Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii) to
the extent that the relevant Subject Proceeds are received by any joint venture, in each case, solely with respect to any joint
venture that is a Subsidiary, for so long as the distribution to the Borrower of such Subject Proceeds would be prohibited under
the Organizational Documents governing such joint venture by any provision not entered into in contemplation of the Closing Date
or of receipt of such Subject Proceeds; it being understood that if the relevant prohibition ceases to exist, the relevant joint
venture that is a Subsidiary will promptly distribute the relevant Subject Proceeds, and the distributed Subject Proceeds will
be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such distribution) applied to the repayment of the applicable
Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (iv)),
and


 


(C)            to
the extent that the relevant Prepayment Asset Sale is consummated by any Foreign Subsidiary or the relevant Net Insurance/Condemnation
Proceeds are received by any Foreign Subsidiary, if the Borrower determines in good faith that the repatriation (or other intercompany
distribution) to the Borrower, directly or indirectly, from a Foreign Subsidiary as a distribution or dividend of any amounts required
to mandatorily prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii) above would result in a material adverse
Tax liability (taking into account any withholding Tax) (the amount attributable to such Foreign Subsidiary, a “Restricted
Amount”), the amount that the Borrower shall be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii) above,
as applicable, shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount; provided that to the extent that the repatriation (or other intercompany
distribution) of the relevant Subject Proceeds, directly or indirectly, from the relevant Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have
a material adverse tax consequence (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required
Lenders) and the Borrower), an amount equal to the Subject Proceeds to the extent available, and not previously applied pursuant
to this clause (C), shall be promptly applied to the repayment of the applicable Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) as
otherwise required above;


 


(v)            Any
Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative
Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(b), to decline
all (but not a portion) of its Applicable Percentage of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”),
in which case such Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative
Agent of its election to decline receipt of its Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified
by the Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s pro rata share of the
total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.


 






    56


     


    

 


(vi)           Except
as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, cash mandatory prepayment of applicable Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall
be applied ratably to the Term Loans in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage. All accepted prepayments under
this Section 2.11(b) shall be applied first, to the Prepayment Premium, if any, second to accrued Interest due
on the amount of prepayment, third to the principal amount of outstanding Term Loans (other than Term Loans constituting PIK Interest)
and fourth, to the principal amount of outstanding Term Loans constituting PIK Interest.


 


(vii)          FOR
THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ANY PAYMENT OR PREPAYMENT MADE PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11(b) SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PREPAYMENT
PREMIUM.


 


Section 2.12.          Fees
and Prepayment Premium.


 


(a)           The
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administration fee separately
agreed in writing between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the Agent Fee Letter.


 


(b)           On
the Initial Funding Date the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay each Initial Term Lender a fee equal to 1.00% of the
aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans made by such Initial Term Lender on the Initial Funding Date.


 


(c)           The
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay each Delayed Draw Term Lender:


 


(i)            On
each applicable Delayed Draw Funding Date, a fee equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of each Delayed Draw Term Loan made by
each Delayed Draw Term Lender on such Delayed Draw Funding Date, which fees (A) shall be earned, due, and payable with respect
to such Delayed Draw Term Loans when funded on the Delayed Draw Funding Date for such Delayed Draw Term Loans during the Original
Delayed Draw Availability Period and (B) shall be paid in cash.


 


(ii)            In
the event that the Borrower elects to exercise the Extension Option, a fee equal to 1.00% of the remaining principal amount of
unused Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments as of the expiration of the Original Delayed Draw Availability Period (the “Delayed
Draw Commitment Extension Fee”), which shall be paid in cash and earned, due and payable on the date that the Original
Delayed Draw Availability Period expires.


 


(d)           All
fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent
or the applicable Lender. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.


 


(e)           Upon
the occurrence of a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Term Loans subject to such
Prepayment Premium Trigger Event, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest as of the date of such repayment or prepayment or other
event or occurrence and (iii) a premium (the “Prepayment Premium”) equal to;


 


(i)            in
the case of a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, a premium of
13.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans subject to such Prepayment Premium Trigger Event less, to the
extent not previously deducted in connection with a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event pursuant to this clause (i), the aggregate
amount of (x) any cash interest payments received on or prior to such prepayment and (y) PIK Interest repaid in cash
on or prior to such prepayment;


 






    57


     


    

 






(ii)            in
the case of a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event occurring after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, but prior to the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, a premium of 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans subject to such Prepayment
Premium Trigger Event; or


 


(iii)           in
the case of a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event occurring on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, but prior to the
third anniversary of the Closing Date, a premium of 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans subject to such Prepayment
Premium Trigger Event;


 


provided
that, (a) notwithstanding clause (i), above, solely in connection with a refinancing of all or a portion of the
Term Loans with the proceeds of a CLO execution or any arm’s length sale of any CRE Finance Assets to one or more bona fide
third-party purchasers on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (a “Specified Refinancing”),
the following prepayment premium shall apply in lieu of clause (i) above: (I) 75% of the aggregate principal amount
of the Term Loans subject to such Prepayment Premium Trigger Event shall be subject a premium of 13.00% less to the extent not
previously deducted in connection with a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event pursuant to this clause (e), the aggregate amount
of (x) 75% of any cash interest payments received on or prior to such prepayment and (y) 75% of any PIK Interest repaid
in cash on or prior to such prepayment and (II) 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans subject to Prepayment
Premium Trigger Event shall be subject to a premium of 105%. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) any Specified Refinancing that
occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall be subject to the Prepayment Premium specified in clauses (ii) and
(iii) above and (B) no Prepayment Premium shall apply to any PIK Interest that has been added to the principal
amount of the Term Loan.


 


(f)            The
Prepayment Premium shall be fully earned, and due and payable, on the date of such repayment or prepayment (or deemed repayment
or prepayment) or other occurrence of the relevant Prepayment Premium Trigger Event, or, if earlier, on the date such payment or
prepayment is required to be made, as applicable, and shall be non-refundable or curable when made. The parties hereto further
acknowledge and agree that the Prepayment Premium is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Loan Parties for any such
repayment or prepayment or other event or occurrence.


 


(g)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are
accelerated as a result of the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default (including as a result of the commencement of
any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or by operation of law or otherwise), the Prepayment Premium, if any, determined as of
the date of acceleration, will also be due and payable and will be treated and deemed as though the Term Loans were prepaid as
of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations for all purposes herein.


 






    58


     


    

 


(h)           Any
Prepayment Premium payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained
by the Lenders as the result of the occurrence of such Prepayment Premium Trigger Event, and the Borrowers and other Loan Parties
agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Premium, if any, shall also be payable in
the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding),
deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE BORROWERS AND OTHER LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT
OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE ACCRUAL OR COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION
WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrowers and other Loan Parties expressly agree that (i) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable
and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the
Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there
has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement
to pay the Prepayment Premium, (iv) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed
to in this Section 2.12, (v) their agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to
provide the Commitments and make the Term Loans, and (vi) the Prepayment Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate
and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain
the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of any Prepayment Premium Trigger Event.


 


(i)             Unless
otherwise indicated herein, all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be payable for the
actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a fee
hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.


 


Section 2.13.     Interest.


 


(a)           The
Term Loans shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate.


 


(b)           The
Borrowers shall have the option either (i) pay all accrued interest due on such Interest Payment Date in cash or (ii) pay
up to 50% of the accrued interest due on such Interest Payment Date in-kind by capitalizing such interest and adding it to the
then-outstanding principal amount of the Loans (any such amount so paid-in-kind and added as principal, “PIK Interest”
and any such election, a “PIK Election”) and the balance of such accrued interest that has not been paid in-kind
shall be paid in cash; provided that notwithstanding clause 2.13(b)(ii) above, to the extent any Specified Debt
receives a cash interest payment in any Interest Period, the next scheduled interest payment under this Agreement shall be 100%
in cash; provided, further, however, that, to the extent no Default exists pursuant to Section 7.01(a) and no
Event of Default exists at the time of such cash interest payment on such Specified Debt, the immediately preceding proviso shall
not apply to cash interest payments made under any of the Convertible Notes or any Refinancing Indebtedness thereof that does not
increase the effective yield (calculated in a manner consistent with generally accepted financial practice based on the interest
rate and fees payable by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to all the holders of the relevant Refinancing Indebtedness) by more
than the then current market rates at the time of such refinancing. The Administrative Borrower may make a PIK Election with respect
to any such Interest Payment Date by delivering written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. five
(5) Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date.


 


(c)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing but in all cases subject to Section 9.05(f), if any principal of or interest on any Term Loan or any
fee payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not, in each case, paid or reimbursed when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration
or otherwise, the relevant overdue amount shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law,
after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 4.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loan,
(i) at the election of the Required Lenders following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default specified
in Article 7, or (ii) following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of written notice from the Required Lenders
referring to this Agreement, describing the Event of Default, automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Events of Default pursuant to Sections 7.01(a), (f), and (g).


 






    59


     


    

 


(d)           Accrued
interest on each Term Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Term Loan and on the Maturity Date
applicable to such Loan; provided that (A) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall
be payable on demand and (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Term Loan, accrued interest on the principal
amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.


 


(e)            All
interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Interest shall accrue on each Term Loan for the day on which the
Term Loan is made and shall not accrue on a Term Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Term Loan or such portion
is paid; provided that any Term Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.


 


Section 2.14.     [Reserved].


 


Section 2.15.     Increased
Costs.


 


(a)            [Reserved].


 


(b)           If
any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies
of general applicability and the policies of general applicability of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then within 30 days of receipt by the Borrowers of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this
Section the Borrowers will jointly and severally pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.


 


(c)            Any
Lender requesting compensation under this Section 2.15 shall be required to deliver a certificate to the Borrowers
that (i) sets forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the holding company thereof, as applicable,
as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (ii) sets forth, in reasonable detail,
the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined and (iii) certifies that such Lender is generally charging such
amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(d)           Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however that the Borrowers shall not be required
to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior
to the date that such Lender notifies the Administrative Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof.


 


Section 2.16.     [Reserved].

Section 2.17.     Taxes.


 


(a)           All
payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Requirements of Law. If any applicable Requirement of
Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any
Tax in respect of any such payment, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax and/or Other Tax, the amount payable by the
applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings have been made (including
deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) each Lender (or, in the case
of any payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make
such deductions or withholding and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.


 


(b)           In
addition, without duplication of other amounts payable by the Borrowers under Section 2.17, the Loan Parties shall
pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.


 


(c)           The
Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 30 days after receipt of the certificate
described in the succeeding sentence, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative
Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, other than
any penalties determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender as applicable (including Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17), and, in each case,
any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not correctly or legally imposed or asserted, provided
that if the Borrowers reasonably believe that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as applicable, will, at the request of the Administrative Borrower, use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower
to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which, if obtained, shall be repaid to the Borrowers to the extent provided in Section 2.17(g))
so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, result in any additional
out-of-pocket costs or expenses not reimbursed by such Loan Party or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Administrative
Agent or such Lender. In connection with any request for reimbursement under this Section 2.17(c), the relevant Lender
or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth, in reasonable detail, the
basis and calculation of the amount of the relevant payment or liability.


 


(d)           [Reserved].


 


(e)            As
soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.17 by any Loan Party to a Governmental
Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued, if any,
by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


 


(f)            Status
of Lenders.


 


(i)             Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding Tax with respect to any 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 as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request to 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 Requirements of 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.
Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent
any documentation provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.17(f).


 






    61


     


    

 


(ii)            Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing,


 


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


 


(B)            each
Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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 any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party, two executed original
copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms, as applicable), establishing any available exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax;


 


(2)            two
executed original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms);


 


(3)            in
the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or
881(c) of the Code, (x) two executed original copies of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-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 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code,
or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments
payable to such Lender are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor
forms, as applicable); or


 


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


 






    62


     


    

 


(C)            each
Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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), two executed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of 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 Requirements of 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 any 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 applicable Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent such documentation as is prescribed by applicable Requirements of 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, to determine whether 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.


 


For the avoidance of
doubt, if a Lender is an entity disregarded from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, references to the foregoing documentation
are intended to refer to documentation with respect to such Lender’s owner and, as applicable, such Lender.


 


Each Lender agrees
that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect (including any specific
documentation required above in this Section 2.17(f)), it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 2.17(f), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender
is not legally eligible to deliver.


 


(g)           If
the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund
(whether received in cash or applied as a credit against any cash taxes of the same type payable) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by any Loan Party under this Section 2.17 or any corresponding provision
of any other Loan Document with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan
Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender
in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay
any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (g) to the extent that the payment thereof would place
the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the Administrative Agent
or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and
the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.17
shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant Loan Party or any other Person.


 






    63


     


    

 


(h)           Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.


 


(i)            On
or before the date the Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower
whichever of the following is applicable: (i) if the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” within the
meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative
Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding or (ii) if the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person”
within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, (A) with respect to payments received for its own account, two
executed original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, two executed
original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (together with all required accompanying documentation) certifying that the Administrative
Agent is a U.S. branch and may be treated as a United States person for purposes of applicable U.S. federal withholding Tax. At
any time thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto)
when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request
of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(i), the Administrative Agent shall not
be required to provide any documentation that the Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a Change
in Law after the Closing Date.


 


(j)            The
Borrower and the Lenders agree (i) that the Loans are debt for U.S. Tax purposes, (ii) that the Loans are issued with
original issue discount and that any amounts payable under Section 2.12 and Section 9.03 reduce the issue
price of the Loan to which such payment relates and shall be treated as original issue discount under Section 1273 of the
Code, (iii) that the Loans are not governed by the rules set out in Section 1.1275-4 of the Treasury Regulations,
(iv) that a portion of the amount advanced pursuant to Section 2.01(a) is allocable to the purchase of the
Warrants for all applicable Tax purposes as to be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as possible after the date
hereof and (v) not to file any Tax Return, report or declaration inconsistent with the foregoing, except as otherwise required
due to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provisions of any other applicable
Laws.


 


(k)           The
Borrower and the Lenders agree to cooperate to determine the rate at which original issue discount will accrue with respect to
each Loan as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof. Further, the Borrower and the Lenders shall cooperate in
good faith to update such methodology as required under applicable Law.


 






    64


     


    

 


Section 2.18.     Payments
Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments.


 


(a)            Unless
otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date when
due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in
the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated
by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03
shall be made directly to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received
by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Each borrowing, each
payment or prepayment of principal of any borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans of a given Class shall be allocated
pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the applicable Class. Each Lender agrees
that in computing such Lender’s portion of any borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion,
round each Lender’s percentage of such borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. All payments hereunder
shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made
by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment
in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent
to make such payment.


 


(b)           Subject,
if applicable, in all respects to the provisions of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreements, all proceeds of Collateral received
by the Administrative Agent while an Event of Default is continuing and all or any portion of the Loans have been accelerated hereunder
pursuant to Section 7.01, shall be applied, first, to the payment of all costs and expenses then due incurred
by the Administrative Agent in connection with any collection, sale or realization on Collateral or otherwise in connection with
this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of agents
and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on
behalf of any Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, second, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then
due to the Administrative Agent (other than those covered in clause first above) from the Borrower constituting Obligations, third,
on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which
no claim has yet been made) owed to the Secured Parties on the date of any such distribution, to the payment in full of the Obligations,
and fourth, to, or at the direction of, the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.


 


(c)            [Reserved].


 


(d)           Unless
the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume
that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute
to the applicable Lender the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Lender severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation.


 


(e)            If
any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b) or Section 2.18(d),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections
until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19.     Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.


 


(a)            If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to or
indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such
Lender shall (at the request of any Loan Party) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking
its Loans hereunder affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches
or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future, as the case may be, and (ii) would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender
in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred
by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.


 


(b)           If
(i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) any Loan Party is required to pay any additional
amount to or indemnify any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
(iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iv) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring
the consent of “each Lender,” or “each Lender directly affected thereby” (or any other Class or group
of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which Required Lender consent (or the consent of Lenders holding Loans
or Commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total Loans and unused Commitments
of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, any Lender is a non-consenting Lender, then
the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) terminate the
applicable Commitments of such Lender, and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the applicable
Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date (including any Prepayment Premium) or (y) replace
such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be
another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such Lender has received payment of an amount
equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans of such Class of Loans and/or Commitments, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under any Loan Document with respect to such Class of Loans and/or Commitments
(including any Prepayment Premium), (B) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15
or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment would result in a reduction in such compensation
or payments and (C) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law. No Lender (other than a Defaulting
Lender) shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation, and the Borrower may not repay the Obligations of such Lender
or terminate its Commitments, 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. Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this
Section 2.19, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such
sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Promissory Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are
evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption (provided that the failure of any Lender
replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19 to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver any such Promissory Note
shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid), such assignment shall be recorded in the Register,
any such Promissory Note shall be deemed cancelled. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment
being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender
and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to
such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the Administrative Agent
may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (b).


 






    66


     


    

 


Section 2.20.     Defaulting
Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then
the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:


 


(a)           The
Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, each affected Lender, the Required
Lenders or such other number of Lenders as may be required hereby or under any other Loan Document have taken or may take any action
hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver,
amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately
and adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.


 


(b)           Any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.15, Section 2.17, Section 2.18,
Article 7, Section 9.05 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 9.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent
and, where relevant, the Borrower as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, as the Borrower may request, to the funding of any Loan
in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; third, as the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower may elect, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of
such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the non-Defaulting Lenders
as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non-Defaulting Lender against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender
or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loan
was made or created, as applicable, at a time when the conditions to such Lender's obligations to fund such Loan were satisfied
or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being
applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to any
Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20(b) shall
be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.


 


(c)            Notwithstanding
the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (x) 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 (y) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change
hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from
such Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.


 






    67


     


    

 


Section 2.21.     Joint
and Several Liability of Borrowers; Administrative Borrower.


 


(a)           The
Borrowers shall have joint and several liability in respect of all Obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document to which
any Borrower is a party, without regard to any defense (other than the defense that payment in full in cash has been made), setoff
or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any other Loan Party against the Lenders, or by any other
circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrowers) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute,
an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers’ liability hereunder, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, and the Obligations
of the Borrowers hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Lenders or any other person at any time
of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any
part of the Obligations or against any Collateral or Guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. The Borrowers
hereby acknowledge that this Agreement is the independent and several obligation of each Borrower (regardless of which Borrower
shall have delivered a Borrowing Request) and may be enforced against each Borrower separately, whether or not enforcement of any
right or remedy hereunder has been sought against any other Borrower. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives, with respect to any
of the Loans made to any other Borrower hereunder and any of the amounts owing hereunder by such other Loan Parties in respect
of such Loans, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices (other than any notice expressly required by
any Loan Document) whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy
or proceed against such other Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or against
any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of such amounts owing hereunder.


 


(b)           Each
TRS Borrower and Subsidiary REIT Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Borrower as its non-exclusive agent for
all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices,
(ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto
(including any Borrowing Request), and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders to any such Borrower
hereunder, but such appointment does not limit the right of any such Borrower to take these actions directly for its own account;
provided that in the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive conflicting instructions from the Administrative Borrower
and any such other Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall follow the instruction of the Administrative Borrower. Any acknowledgment,
consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers,
or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Administrative Borrower, whether
or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication
delivered to the Administrative Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered
to each Borrower.

    70


     


    

 


Section 3.11.     Disclosure.


 


(a)           All
information (other than the Projections, financial estimates, other forward-looking information and/or projected information and
information of a general economic or industry-specific nature) concerning Holdings and its Subsidiaries furnished by or on behalf
of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated
thereby, when taken as a whole and after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time, did not, when
so furnished to the Administrative Agent or Lenders, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under
which such statements were made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time).


 


(b)           The
Projections have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by Holdings to be reasonable at the time furnished
(it being recognized that such Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts and are subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies many of which are beyond Holdings’ control, that no assurance can be given that any particular
financial projections will be realized, that actual results may differ from projected results and that such differences may be
material).


 


Section 3.12.     Solvency.
As of the Closing Date or the respective Funding Date and immediately after giving effect to the Transactions consummated on such
date and the incurrence of the Indebtedness and obligations being incurred on such date in connection with this Agreement and
the Transactions and the application of the proceeds thereof, (i) the sum of the debt (including contingent liabilities)
of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, does not exceed the Fair Valuation of the assets of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis; (ii) the capital of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not
unreasonably small in relation to the business of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as contemplated as of such
date; and (iii) Holdings and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not intend to incur, or believe that they will
incur, debts (including current obligations and contingent liabilities) beyond their ability to pay such debt as they mature in
the ordinary course of business. For purposes of this Section 3.12, the amount of any contingent liability as of any such
date shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing as of such date, represents
the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities
meet the criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5).


 


Section 3.13.     Subsidiaries.
Schedule 3.13(a) sets forth, in each case as of the Closing Date, (a) a correct and complete list of the

otherwise constituting an Excluded Subsidiary) or Excluded Subsidiary, (b) the type of entity of Holdings and each of its
Subsidiaries and (c) if such Subsidiary is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, the amount of issued and outstanding Capital Stock
held by such third party. Each outstanding share or unit of Capital Stock of each Loan Party has been duly authorized, validly
issued, and is fully paid and non-assessable and has not been issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights created
by applicable Law, any Loan Party’s or Subsidiary’s Organization Documents or by any agreement to which any Loan Party
or Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound, and has been issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
or “blue sky” Laws. All issued and outstanding Capital Stock of each Subsidiary of Holdings is free and clear of all
Liens (except for Permitted Liens). Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13(b), as of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower
nor any Subsidiary Guarantor has outstanding any Capital Stock convertible or exchangeable for any shares of its Capital Stock
or any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase its Capital Stock convertible into or exchangeable for its Capital Stock
(other than such rights or options, if any, held or owned by any Loan Party).


 






    71


     


    

 


Section 3.14.     Security
Interest in Collateral. Subject to any limitations and exceptions set forth in any Loan Documents, the Legal Reservations
and the provisions of this Agreement and the other relevant Loan Documents, the Collateral Documents create legal, valid and enforceable
Liens on all of the Collateral described therein in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other
Secured Parties, and upon the satisfaction of the applicable Perfection Requirements, such Liens constitute perfected first priority
Liens subject in priority only to permitted priority Liens on the Collateral (to the extent such Liens are required to be perfected
under the terms of the Loan Documents) securing the Obligations, in each case as and to the extent set forth therein. Notwithstanding
anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, neither Holdings nor any other Loan Party makes any representation
or warranty as to (A) the effects of perfection or non-perfection, the priority or the enforceability of any pledge of or
security interest in any Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary (other than Capital Stock and assets of Foreign Subsidiaries,
if any, that are Guarantors), or as to the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect thereto,
under foreign Requirements of Law not required to be obtained under the Loan Documents, (B) the enforcement of any security
interest, or rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral that may be limited or restricted by, or require any consents,
authorizations approvals or licenses under, any Requirement of Law or (C) on the Closing Date and until required pursuant
to Section 5.12, the pledge or creation of any security interest, or the effects of perfection or non-perfection,
the priority or enforceability of any pledge or security interest to the extent not required on the Closing Date.


 


Section 3.15.     Labor
Disputes. Except as individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) there
are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible
Officer of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened and (b) the hours worked by and payments made to employees of
Holdings and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirements
of Law dealing with such matters.


 


Section 3.16.     Federal
Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan have been used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately,
incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that results in a violation of the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation
X.


 


Section 3.17.     OFAC;
PATRIOT ACT and FCPA.


 


(a)           (i) None
of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of Holdings, any director, officer or employee
of any of the foregoing is a Sanctioned Person; and (ii) Holdings will not directly or, to the knowledge of any Responsible
Officer of Holdings, indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Person in violation
of Sanctions.


 


(b)           To
the extent applicable, Holdings and each Subsidiary is in compliance (i) in all material respects with the USA PATRIOT Act,
the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department

Act 2010 and any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto and (ii) except as would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, with all Sanctions.


 






    72


     


    

 


(c)           Neither
Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of Holdings, any director, officer or employee
of Holdings or any Subsidiary, has taken any action, directly or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of Holdings, indirectly,
that would result in a material violation by any such Person of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the
 “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making any offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization or approval
of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give or authorization of the giving of anything of value, directly
or indirectly, to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official
thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in each case in contravention in any material respect of the FCPA and any
applicable anti-corruption Requirement of Law of any Governmental Authority. Holdings will not directly or, to the knowledge of
any Responsible Officer of Holdings, indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds to any
governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for public office or anyone else acting
in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage in violation of the FCPA.


 


The representations
and warranties set forth in Section 3.17 above made by or on behalf of any Foreign Subsidiary are subject to and limited
by any Requirement of Law applicable to such Foreign Subsidiary; it being understood and agreed that to the extent that any Foreign
Subsidiary is unable to make any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.17 as a result of the application
of this sentence, such Foreign Subsidiary shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is in compliance, in all material
respects, with applicable Sanctions and any equivalent Requirement of Law relating to anti-terrorism, anti-corruption, or anti-money
laundering that is applicable to such Foreign Subsidiary in its relevant local jurisdiction of organization.


 


Section 3.18.     REIT
Status. With respect to each of Holdings and Subsidiary REIT Borrower for all taxable years of such Person (beginning with
the taxable year of such Person’s election to qualify as a REIT under the Code): (a) such Person has been organized
and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code and (b) its

to, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and all rights, franchises, licenses and permits in
the normal conduct of its business that are material to its business except, other than with respect to the preservation of the

a Material Adverse Effect; provided that neither Holdings nor any of Holdings’ Subsidiaries shall be required to
preserve any such existence (other than with respect to the preservation of existence of Holdings and the Borrower), right, franchise,
license or permit if a Responsible Officer of such Person or such Person’s board of directors (or similar governing body)

reserves or other appropriate provisions, as are required in conformity with GAAP, have been made therefor and (ii) in the
case of a Tax which has resulted or may result in the creation of a Lien on any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively
operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such Tax or (b) failure to pay or discharge the same

and appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or where the failure
to maintain such properties or make such repairs, renewals or replacements could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

cause to be maintained (or, prior to the effective date of the Internalization of Management, the Manager will maintain or cause
to be maintained on behalf of Holdings), with financially sound and reputable insurers that Holdings believes (in the good faith
and judgment of its management) are financially sound and reputable at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, such
insurance coverage with respect to liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the assets, properties and businesses of Holdings
and its Subsidiaries as may customarily be carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation
engaged in similar businesses, in each case in such amounts, with such deductibles, covering such risks and otherwise on such
terms and conditions as shall be customary for such Persons; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will
Holdings or any Subsidiary be required to obtain or maintain insurance that is more restrictive than its normal course of practice.
Promptly after the effective date of the Internalization of Management, each such property, general liability and casualty policy
of insurance (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any business interruption insurance policy) shall, in form reasonably acceptable
to Required Lenders, (i) in the case of each general liability policy in favor of any Loan Party, name the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear, (ii) in the case
of each casualty insurance policy in favor of any Loan Party, to the extent available from the relevant insurance carrier, contain
a lenders’ loss payable clause or endorsement that names the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties as the
lenders’ loss payee thereunder and (iii) in each case, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide legends that
no cancellation, material reduction in amount or material change in insurance coverage thereof shall be effective until at least
30 days (ten days with respect to failing to pay premiums) after receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof.


 


Section 5.06.           Inspections.
Holdings will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any authorized representative designated by the Required Lenders
to visit and inspect any of the properties owned or leased by Holdings and any of its Subsidiaries at which the principal financial
records and executive officers of the applicable Person are located, to inspect and copy its and their respective financial and
accounting records, and to discuss its and their respective affairs, finances and accounts with its and their Responsible Officers
and independent public accountants at the expense of Holdings (provided that Holdings (or any of its subsidiaries) may,
if it so chooses, be present at or participate in any such discussion), all upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times during
normal business hours; provided that except as expressly set forth in the proviso below during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the Required Lenders shall not exercise such rights more often than one time during any calendar year; provided,
further, that when an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Required Lenders (or any of their representatives)
may do any of the foregoing at the expense of Holdings at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice;
provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Holdings nor any Subsidiary shall
be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making of copies of or taking abstracts from, or discuss any document,
information, or other matter (A) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their
respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, (B) that is subject to attorney-client
or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product, (C) in respect of which Holdings or any Subsidiary owes confidentiality
obligations to any third party (provided such confidentiality obligations were not entered into in contemplation of the
requirements of this Section 5.06) or (D) in respect of which disclosure is not required pursuant to the proviso
to Section 5.01(l).


 


Section 5.07.           Maintenance
of Book and Records. Holdings will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account containing

with Laws. Holdings will comply, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with the requirements of all applicable
Requirements of Law (including applicable ERISA and all Environmental Laws, OFAC, the USA PATRIOT Act and the FCPA), except to
the extent the failure of Holdings or the relevant Subsidiary to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; provided that the requirements set forth in this Section 5.08, as they pertain to compliance by any
Foreign Subsidiary with OFAC, the USA PATRIOT ACT and the FCPA are subject to and limited by any Requirement of Law applicable

on the part of any Loan Party, any Lender or the Administrative Agent, automatically become a part of this Section 6.13 and
be incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, and Holdings hereby covenants to maintain compliance with such financial covenant
at all times throughout the remaining term of this Agreement. In connection herewith, Holdings agrees to promptly notify the Administrative
Agent of the execution of any agreement or other document that would cause the provisions of this Section 6.13(f) to
become effective. Holdings and the Borrowers further agree to execute and deliver any new amendments to this Agreement that are
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to evidence all such new or modified provisions. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any such financial covenant shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as such financial

any Collateral Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction.


 


(c)           The
duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; and the Administrative Agent shall not have,
by reason of any Loan Document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any Secured Party. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative
Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable
law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative
relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 8.03.           General
Immunity.


 


(a)           No
Responsibility for Certain Matters. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or of any other Loan Document or for any representations,
warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other
statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to Lenders
or by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions

of any Obligations, nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance
of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of
the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures
with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have
any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof.


 


(b)           Exculpatory
Provisions.


 


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


 


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


 


(B)            shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed
in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative
Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take
any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may (i) expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that
is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or (ii) be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of
law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or relief of debtors; provided, further, that if the Administrative
Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified and provided with adequate security to its sole satisfaction (including reasonable
advances as may be requested by the Administrative Agent) by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such directed action; provided, further, that the Administrative
Agent may seek clarification or further direction from the Required Lenders prior to taking any such directed action and may refrain
from acting until such clarification or further direction has been provided;


 






    116


     


    

 


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


 


(D)            shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall
be necessary) (and such consent or request and such action or action not taken pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders)
or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final and nonappealable judgment (which shall not include any action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with clause
(i), for which the Administrative Agent shall have no liability);


 


(E)            shall
not be responsible or liable for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into or monitor (i) any recital, statement, warranty
or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, the use of proceeds of
the Loans, or the occurrence of any Default or Event Default, (iv) the execution, validity, enforceability, effectiveness,
genuineness, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document,
or the creation, preservation, perfection, maintenance or continuation of perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created
by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, (vi) whether the Collateral exists,
is owned by Holdings or its Subsidiaries, is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or meets the eligibility
criteria applicable in respect thereof, (vii) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or (viii) the financial
condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations; and


 


(F)            shall
not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or any component amounts thereof.


 


(ii)            Nothing
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the
profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.


 


(iii)            Nothing
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to expend or risk their own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any duties or in the exercise of any rights or powers hereunder.


 






    117


     


    

 


 



 


(iv)          If
any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the parties hereto concerning the meaning or
validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the
Administrative Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, after sending
written notice of the same to the other parties to this Agreement, refuse to act until such time as it receives a final non-appealable
order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to take such action or is fully
indemnified for taking such action.


 


(v)           The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, in each case, arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its
control, including without limitation, any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority;
acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions,
loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of
civil or military authority or governmental actions; or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire
or communication facility.


 


(vi)          For
the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the other protections set forth in this Article 8, with respect to any determination,
designation, or judgment to be made by the Administrative Agent herein or in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to request that the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary,
or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary) make or confirm such determination, designation,
or judgment.


 


(vii)         The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action)
in connection herewith or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in
it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Required
Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.02) and, upon receipt of
such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such
instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, orders, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, letter,
document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed
by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith to have been made by
the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely and
shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Holdings and its Subsidiaries),
accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by
it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action
whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining
from acting hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other
Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.02).


 


(c)           Notice
of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from an Lender or the Loan Party referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The
Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action
with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article 7;
provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.


 






    118


     


    

 


Section 8.04.          Rights
as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity
as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender”
or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business
with Holdings or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without
any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.


 


Section 8.05.          Lenders’
Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment. Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation
of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with providing their respective Commitments
and purchasing their pro rata share of Term Loans hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal
of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility,
either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of
the Term Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect
to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.


 


Section 8.06.          Right
to Indemnity. EACH LENDER, IN PROPORTION TO ITS PRO RATA SHARE, SEVERALLY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (EACH, AN “INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY”), TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY
SHALL NOT HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED BY ANY LOAN PARTY, FOR AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES,
PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING COUNSEL FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS) OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND
OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY IN
EXERCISING ITS POWERS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OR PERFORMING ITS DUTIES HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHERWISE
IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE,
CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY; PROVIDED, NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION
OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS
RESULTING FROM SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE ORDER. IF ANY INDEMNITY FURNISHED TO ANY INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY FOR ANY
PURPOSE SHALL, IN THE OPINION OF SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY, BE INSUFFICIENT OR BECOME IMPAIRED, SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT
PARTY MAY CALL FOR ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY AND CEASE, OR NOT COMMENCE, TO DO THE ACTS INDEMNIFIED AGAINST UNTIL SUCH
ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY IS FURNISHED; PROVIDED, IN NO EVENT SHALL THIS SENTENCE REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO INDEMNIFY ANY
INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY AGAINST ANY LIABILITY, OBLIGATION, LOSS, DAMAGE, PENALTY, ACTION, JUDGMENT, SUIT, COST, EXPENSE OR
DISBURSEMENT IN EXCESS OF SUCH LENDER’S PRO RATA SHARE THEREOF; AND PROVIDED FURTHER, THIS SENTENCE SHALL NOT BE
DEEMED TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO INDEMNIFY ANY INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY AGAINST ANY LIABILITY, OBLIGATION, LOSS, DAMAGE,
PENALTY, ACTION, JUDGMENT, SUIT, COST, EXPENSE OR DISBURSEMENT DESCRIBED IN THE PROVISO IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING
SENTENCE.


 








    119


     


    

 


Section 8.07.          Successor
Administrative Agent.


 


(a)           The
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ (or such shorter period as shall be agreed by the
Required Lenders) prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the Administrative Borrower and the Required Lenders may terminate
and replace the Administrative Agent at any time by giving three (3) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or termination, as applicable, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Borrower, to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent (other than any Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution), subject (so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing) to the written consent of the Administrative Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed in the case of any such proposed successor that is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender). In the case of a resignation
or termination of the Administrative Agent, the resigning or terminated Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the case of a resignation by the Administrative Agent, if no successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders in accordance with this Section 8.07(a) and shall have accepted
such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (other than any Person that is a Defaulting
Lender or Disqualified Institution), which appointment of a successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the consent of the
Administrative Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); provided that if the retiring Administrative Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower and the
Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured
Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as bailee,
trustee or other applicable capacity until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed, and for the avoidance of
doubt, any agency fees for the account of the retiring Administrative Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on)
the date that a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and all payments, communications and determinations provided
to be made by, to or through the retiring Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such
time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 8.07. In
the case of a termination of the Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made
by, to or through the terminated Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 8.07. Upon the acceptance
of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent that successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or terminated Administrative
Agent, and the retiring or terminated Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent
all sums, securities or Capital Stock and other items of Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together with all records
and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent
under the Loan Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to financing
statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor
Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring or terminated Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring or terminated Administrative Agent’s
resignation or termination hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to its benefit
as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder.


 






    120


     


    

 


(b)           After
the retiring or terminated Administrative Agent’s resignation or terminated hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 9.03 and all other rights, privileges, protections, immunities,
and indemnities granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or terminated
Administrative Agent, its co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or terminated Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative
Agent.


 


(c)           The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any
other Loan Document by or through any one or more co-agent, sub-agents, or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent and any such co-agent, sub-agent and attorney’s-in-fact may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. Any corporation or association into which Wilmington
Trust, National Association may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer
all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation
or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which Wilmington Trust, National
Association is a party, will be and become the successor Administrative Agent under this Agreement and will have and succeed to
the rights, privileges, protections, immunities, and indemnities of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the other Loan Documents,
without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.


 


(d)           Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each co-agent, sub-agent or attorney-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent,
(i) such co-agent, sub-agent or attorney-in-fact shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all
such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights, benefits
and privileges of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges
(including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against
any or all of the Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and
rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such co-agent, sub-agent or attorney-in-fact,
and (iii) such co-agent, sub-agent or attorney-in-fact shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and not to
any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have the rights, directly or indirectly,
as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence
or misconduct of any such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct
in the selection of such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact.


 






    121


     


    

 


Section 8.08.          Collateral
Documents and Loan Guaranty.


 


(a)           Administrative
Agent under Collateral Documents and Loan Guaranty. Each Lender hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent on behalf
of and for the benefit of Lenders, to be the agent for and representative of Lenders with respect to the Loan Guaranty, the Collateral
and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section 9.02, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders,
the Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) release any Lien encumbering any item
of Collateral that is the subject of a Disposition of assets permitted hereby or to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders
as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.02) have otherwise consented, (ii) otherwise release
any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral in accordance with the terms of Section 7.12 of the Security Agreement, or (iii) release
any Guarantor from the Loan Guaranty pursuant to Section 9.21 or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other
Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.02) have otherwise consented; provided, that
(1) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such
release on terms that, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion or the opinion of its counsel, could expose the Administrative
Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation,
or warranty, and (2) the Loan Parties shall have provided the Administrative Agent with such certifications or documents
as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the requested release is permitted under this
Section 8.08. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as
may be required to give such consent under Section 9.02,) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property or to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under the Loan Guaranty.


 


(b)           Right
to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Loan Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually
to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Loan Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights
and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties in accordance with the
terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative
Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or
private sale or any sale of the Collateral in a case under the Bankruptcy Code (or equivalent foreign Debtor Relief Law), the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Administrative
Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual
capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making
settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and
apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent
at such sale.


 


Section 8.09.          Non-Reliance
on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.


 


(a)            Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall
from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender acknowledges
that the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons have made no representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative
Agent or its Related Parties hereinafter taken shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative
Agent or its Related Parties to any Lender. Each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent
based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents,
or the Transactions contemplate hereby.


 






    122


     


    

 


(b)           Except
for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent,
the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness
of Holdings, its Subsidiaries or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession or control of the
Administrative Agent or its Related Parties.


 


Section 8.10.          Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim


 


(a)           In
case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or any other proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Loan Party) shall be entitled
and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:


 


(i)             to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03) allowed in such proceeding; and


 


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


 


(iii)           and
any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative
Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative
Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates under the Loan Documents (including all amounts
due under Sections 2.12 and 9.03)


 


(b)           Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf
of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any
Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.


 






    123


     


    

 


Section 8.11.          Lender
Direction. Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into, and agrees to be bound by, this Agreement,
the Collateral Documents, and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, each Loan Document to be executed by the
Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that (x) the foregoing instructed actions constitute an
instruction from all the Lenders under this Section and (y) this Article 8 and Sections 9.03 and any other rights,
privileges, protections, immunities, and indemnities in favor of the Administrative Agent hereunder apply to any and all actions

Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral, the
guaranties under the Loan Guaranty and the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together
with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.


 


Section 8.12.          Survival.
The agreements in this Article 8 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments,
the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations, and the termination of this Agreement.

All such notices and other communications
(A) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given
when delivered in person or by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof or three Business Days after dispatch if
sent by certified or registered mail, in each case, delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to the relevant party as provided
in this Section 9.01 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with
this Section 9.01 or (B) sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent and when receipt has been
confirmed by telephone; provided that notices and other communications sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given
when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, such notices or other communications shall
be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices and other communications
delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in clause (b) below shall be effective as provided
in such clause (b).


 


(b)           Notices
and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail
and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures set forth herein or otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent or the Borrower (on behalf of any Loan Party) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications
to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures set forth herein or otherwise approved by it (provided
that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications). All such notices and other communications
(i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended
recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement);
provided that any such notice or communication not given during the normal business hours of the recipient shall be deemed
to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient and (ii) posted to an Internet or
intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described
in the foregoing clause (b)(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying
the website address therefor.


 


(c)           Any
party hereto may change its address or facsimile number or other notice information hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto;
it being understood and agreed that the Borrower may provide any such notice to the Administrative Agent as recipient on behalf
of itself and each Lender.


 


(d)           The
Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders
by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the
Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).


 






    125


     


    

 


(e)           Although
the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies
implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization
system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the
Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible
for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and
that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower hereby approves
distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.


 


(f)            The
Borrower acknowledges that (a) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not
wish to receive information of a type that would constitute material non-public information with respect to any Loan Party, any
Subsidiary or any of their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower agrees that (w) at
the request of the Administrative Agent, Communications that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously
marked “PUBLIC” which shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof;
(x) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders to treat such Communications as not containing any information of a type that would constitute material non-public
information with respect to any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States
federal securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Communications constitute confidential information,
they shall be treated as such as set forth in Section 9.13); (y) all Communications marked “PUBLIC”
are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated as “Public Investor;”
and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as
being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the following Communications shall be deemed “PUBLIC,” unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative
Agent promptly in writing that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents, and (2) notification
of changes in the terms of the Loans.


 


(g)           Each
Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private
Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Approved Electronic Platform in order to
enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law,
including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through
the “Public Side Information” portion of the Approved Electronic Platform and that may contain information of a type
that would constitute material non-public information with respect to any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any of their respective
securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. In the event that any Public Lender has elected for
itself to not access any information disclosed through the Approved Electronic Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges
that (i) the Administrative Agent and other Lenders may have access to such information and (ii) neither the Borrower
nor the Administrative Agent or other Lender with access to such information shall have (x) any responsibility for such Public
Lender’s decision to limit the scope of information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or (y) any duty to disclose such information to such electing Lender or to use such information on behalf of such
electing Lender, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use such information.


 






    126


     


    

 


(h)           THE
APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE
APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE
APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND
THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING 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 APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”)
HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT
OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING
OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED
ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.


 


“Communications”
means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any
Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.


 


(i)            Each
Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved
Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.
Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication)
from time to time of such Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and
(ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.


 


(j)            Each
of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall
not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s
generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.


 


(k)           Nothing
herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to
any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.


 


Section 9.02.          Waivers;
Amendments.


 


(a)           No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver thereof except as provided herein or in any Loan Document, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any party hereto therefrom shall
in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the making of any Term Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default or Event of Default at the time.


 






    127


     


    

 


(b)           Subject
to this Section 9.02(b) and Section 9.02(d) below and to Section 9.05(f), neither
this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except (i) in
the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders
(or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other
than any waiver, amendment or modification to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other
Loan Document), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party
that is party thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that:


 


(A)          the
consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but, except in the case of subclause (1), not the consent of the
Required Lenders) shall be required for any waiver, amendment or modification that:


 


(1)           increases
the Commitment of such Lender; it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from,
any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction
of the Commitments shall constitute an increase of any Commitment of such Lender;


 


(2)           reduces
the principal amount of any Term Loan owed to such Lender;


 


(3)           (x) extends
the scheduled final maturity of any Term Loan or (y) postpones any Interest Payment Date with respect to any Term Loan held
by such Lender or the date of any scheduled payment of any fee or premium payable to such Lender hereunder (in each case, other
than any extension for administrative reasons agreed by the Administrative Agent);


 


(4)           reduces
the rate of interest (other than to waive any Default or Event of Default or obligation of the Borrower to pay interest to such
Lender at the default rate of interest under Section 2.13(c), which shall only require the consent of the Required
Lenders) or the amount of any fee or premium owed to such Lender; it being understood that no change in the calculation of any
other interest, fee or premium due hereunder (including any component definition thereof) shall constitute a reduction in any rate
of interest or fee hereunder;


 


(5)           extends
the expiry date of such Lender’s Commitment; it being understood that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent
to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment
or mandatory reduction of any Commitment shall constitute an extension of any Commitment of any Lender; and


 


(6)           waives,
amends or modifies the provisions of Section 2.18(b) or 2.18(c) of this Agreement in a manner that
would by its terms alter the “waterfall” in Section 2.18(b) or pro rata sharing of payments required
by Section 2.18(c) (except in connection with any transaction permitted under Section 9.05(g) or
as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02);


 






    128


     


    

 


(B)           no
such agreement shall:


 


(1)           change
any of the provisions of Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.02(b) or the definition of “Required
Lenders” to reduce any voting percentage required to waive, amend or modify any right thereunder or make any determination
or grant any consent thereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender;


 


(2)           release
all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien granted pursuant to the Loan Documents (except as otherwise permitted
herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Article 8 or Section 9.21 hereof), without
the prior written consent of each Lender; or


 


(3)           release
all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees under the Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the
other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Section 9.21 hereof), without the prior written consent of each Lender;
and


 


(C)           no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to the Administrative
Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided
that the Administrative Agent shall have provided with a copy of any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent to
any Loan Document which has been effectuated by any Loan Party and any Lender.


 


(c)           [Reserved]


 


(d)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02 or any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of
any other Loan Document:


 


(i)          the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (with the reasonable consent of the Required Lenders in the case of clauses (A) and
(C) below) may amend, supplement and/or waive any guaranty, collateral security agreement, pledge agreement and/or related
document (if any) executed in connection with this Agreement to (A) comply with any Requirement of Law or the advice of counsel,
(B) cause any such guaranty, collateral security agreement, pledge agreement or other document to be consistent with this
Agreement and/or the relevant other Loan Documents or (C) add a benefit for solely the Lenders under the existing Term Facility,
including, but not limited to, increase in margin, interest rate floor, prepayment premium, call protection and reestablishment
of or increase in amortization schedule; provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver that increases or accelerates
the amortization schedule shall operate to cause the amounts subject to such increased or accelerated amortization schedule to
not be subject to Section 2.12(c),


 


(ii)         the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any other Lender (other than the relevant Lenders providing
Loans under such Sections), effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable
opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Section  5.12, or 6.12, or
any other provision specifying that any waiver, amendment or modification may be made with the consent or approval of the Administrative
Agent,


 


(iii)        if
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified any ambiguity, mistake, defect, inconsistency, obvious error
or any error or omission of a technical nature or any necessary or desirable technical change, in each case, in any provision
of any Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision (without any further
action or consent of any other party) solely to address such matter as reasonably determined by them acting jointly,


 






    129


     


    

 


(iv)       the
Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may amend, restate, amend and restate or
otherwise modify any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement as provided therein,


 


(v)         the
Administrative Agent may amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.05,
and Commitment terminations pursuant to Section 2.09,


 


(vi)       no
Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except as permitted
pursuant to Section 2.20(a) and except that the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased without the
consent of such Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any Commitment or Loan held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender
shall be excluded from any vote hereunder that requires the consent of any Lender, except as expressly provided in Section 2.20(a)),


 


(vii)       this
Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit any extension of credit from
time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the relevant benefits
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities
in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion, and


 


(viii)      any
amendment, wavier or modification of any term or provision that directly affects Lenders under one or more Classes and does not
directly affect Lenders under one or more other Classes may be effected by the consent of Lenders representing more than 50% of
the aggregate Commitments and/or Loans of such directly affected Class in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders.

Section 9.03.          Expenses;
Indemnity.


 


(a)           The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each
such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages and liabilities (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one (1) local
counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole and solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict
of interest, (x) one (1) additional counsel to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and (y) one (1) additional
local counsel to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction), incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any
agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder
or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and/or the enforcement of the
Loan Documents, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any actual or alleged Release or presence of Hazardous
Materials on, at, under or from any property currently or formerly owned or leased by Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any
other Loan Party or any Environmental Liability related to Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party and/or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract,
tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is
initiated by a third party or by Holdings, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability (i) is
determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or such Person’s breach of the Loan Documents or (ii) arises out of any claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding brought by such Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding that is brought by or against the Administrative Agent or any Lender) that does not involve any act
or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts
paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.03(b) to such Indemnitee for any fees, expenses, or damages to
the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment thereof in accordance with the terms hereof. All amounts due under this paragraph
(b) shall be payable by the Borrower within 30 days (x) after receipt by the Borrower of a written demand therefor,
in the case of any indemnification obligations and (y) in the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses, after receipt by
the Borrower of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting
the relevant reimbursement request. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent
losses, claims, damages or liabilities in respect of a non-Tax claim.


 


(b)           Subject
to Section 9.05(f), the Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses,
to the actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one (1) firm of outside counsel
to the Administrative Agent and one (1) firm of outside counsel to all such other Persons taken as a whole and, if necessary,
of one (1) local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent and one (1) local counsel in any relevant
jurisdiction to all such other Persons, taken as a whole; provided that in the case of any actual or perceived conflict
of interest, one (1) outside legal counsel for each group of affected persons similarly situated, taken as a whole, in each
appropriate jurisdiction) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents and
any related documentation, including in connection with any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document
(whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates (but limited, in the case of legal fees
and expenses, to the actual reasonable and documented out -of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of outside
counsel to the Administrative Agent and one (1) firm of outside counsel to all such other Persons taken as a whole and, if
necessary, of one (1) local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to the Administrative Agent and one (1) local counsel
in any relevant jurisdiction to all such other Persons, taken as a whole; provided that in the case of any actual or perceived
conflict of interest, one (1) outside legal counsel for each group of affected persons similarly situated, taken as a whole,
in each appropriate jurisdiction) in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of their respective rights in connection
with the Loan Documents, including their respective rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans
made hereunder. Except to the extent required to be paid on the Closing Date, all amounts due under this paragraph (a) shall
be payable by the Borrower within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting forth such expenses in reasonable
detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request.


 






    131


     


    

 


(c)           The
Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the written consent of the Borrower (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if any proceeding is settled with the written consent of the Borrower,
or if there is a final judgment against any Indemnitee in any such proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each Indemnitee to the extent and in the manner set forth above. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the
affected Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending
or threatened proceeding in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such
settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability.


 


Section 9.04.          Waiver
of Claim. To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each hereby
waives, any claim against any other party hereto, any Loan Party and/or any Related Party of any thereof, on any theory of liability,
for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the
use of the proceeds thereof, except, in the case of any claim by any Indemnitee against the Borrower, to the extent such damages
would otherwise be subject to indemnification pursuant to the terms of Section 9.03.


 


Section 9.05.          Successors
and Assigns.


 


(a)           The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns; provided that (i) except as provided under Section 6.07, the Borrower may not assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.05 (any attempted
assignment or transfer not complying with the terms of this Section 9.05, including with respect to attempted assignments
or transfers to Disqualified Institutions shall be subject to Section 9.05(f)). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted
assigns, to the extent provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 9.05, Participants 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)           (i) Subject
to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with the prior written consent of:


 


(A)           the
Borrower (such consent with respect to any assignments of Term Loans not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);
provided, that (x) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of Term Loans (but not an unfunded
Commitments) unless it has objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days after receipt
of written notice thereof and (y) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment of (1) Term Loans
or Term Commitments to any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) Term Loans at any time when an
Event of Default exists; and


 


(B)           the
Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that no consent of
the Administrative Agent shall be required for any assignment to another Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund.


 






    132


     


    

 


(ii)           Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:


 


(A)          except
in the case of any assignment to another Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any Approved Fund or any assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the relevant assigning Lender’s Term Loans or Commitments of any Class, the principal amount of Term
Loans or Commitments of the assigning Lender subject to the relevant assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent and determined on an aggregate basis in
the event of concurrent assignments to Approved Specified Funds of the assignee or by Approved Specified Funds of the assigning
Lender) shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments, unless the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consent;


 


(B)           any
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the relevant assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement;


 


(C)           the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic
settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and
shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee (i) shall not apply to an assignment
by a Lender to its controlled Affiliates and (ii) may otherwise be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative
Agent); and


 


(D)           the
relevant Eligible Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver on or prior to the effective date of such assignment, to the Administrative
Agent (1) an Administrative Questionnaire and (2) any IRS form and/or other documentation required under Section 2.17.


 


(iii)          Subject
to the acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.05, from and
after the effective date specified in any Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and,
to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to 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 (A) entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring on or prior to the effective date of such assignment and (B) subject to its obligations thereunder
and under Section 9.13). If any assignment by any Lender holding any Promissory Note is made after the issuance of
such Promissory Note, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable,
surrender such Promissory Note to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and, following such cancellation, if requested by
either the assignee or the assigning Lender, the Borrower shall issue and deliver a new Promissory Note to such assignee and/or
to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee
and/or the assigning Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the standstill provisions in Section 8 of
the Investor Rights Agreement are still in effect at any time of any assignment to an assignee pursuant to this Section, such assignee
shall become a party to the Investor Rights Agreement (to the extent not already a party thereto) for purposes of such Section no
later than substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of such assignment, unless consented to in writing by the Administrative
Borrower.

(iv)          The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and their
respective successors and assigns, and the commitment of, and principal amount of and interest on the Loans and Commitments owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and each Lender (but only as to its own
holdings), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The parties intend that any interest in or
with respect to the Loans under this Agreement be treated as being issued and maintained in “registered form” within
the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any regulations thereunder (and any successor provisions),
including without limitation under United States Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Regulations Section 1.163-5
(and any successor provisions), and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that gives effect to such intent.


 


(v)           Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the Eligible
Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax certification required by Section 9.05(b)(ii)(D)(2) (unless
the assignee is already a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.05(b)(ii)(C),
if applicable, and any written consent to the relevant assignment required by Section 9.05(b)(i), the Administrative
Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.


 


(vi)          By
executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender and the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be deemed
to confirm and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (A) the assigning Lender warrants that it is
the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that the amount of
its commitments, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to any assignment thereof which
has not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (B) except as set forth in clause (A) above,
the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statement, warranty
or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto,
or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary
of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto; (C) the assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to enter into such Assignment
and Assumption; (D) the assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial
statements referred to in Section 3.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (E) the assignee will independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information
as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement;
(F) the assignee 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; and (G) the assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.


 






    134


     


    

 


(c)           (i) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, sell participations to any bank
or other entity (other than to any Disqualified Institution, any natural Person or, the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments
and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any 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 relevant Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in (x) clause (A) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely
affects the Loans or Commitments in which such Participant has an interest and (y) clauses (B)(1), (2) or
(3) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b). Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.05,
the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 and 2.17 (subject
to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Section 2.19) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.05 and it being understood
that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender, and
if additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.17(a) or Section 2.17(c), by the
participating Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that
such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.


 


(ii)           No
Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the participating
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, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, expressly
acknowledging that such Participant’s entitlement to benefits under Sections 2.15 and 2.17 is not limited to
what the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the participation.


 


Each Lender that sells
a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name
and address of each Participant and their respective successors and registered assigns, and the principal and interest amounts
of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (a “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any Participant Register (including
the identity of any Participant or any information relating to any Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan or any
other obligation under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations,
or is otherwise required under the Code or Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and each 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.


 


(d)           Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than
to any Disqualified Institution or any natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender,
and this Section 9.05 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that
no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute
any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


 






    135


     


    

 


(e)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding
vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise
be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute
a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide
all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making
of any Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were
made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any
SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.15 or 2.17) and no SPC shall be entitled to any greater
amount under Section 2.15 or 2.17 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the
Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the grant to such SPC is made with the prior written consent of the
Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, expressly acknowledging that such SPC’s entitlement to benefits under
Sections 2.15 and 2.17 is not limited to what the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the
grant to the SPC, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability
for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes (including approval
of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents) remain the Lender of record hereunder. 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 Requirements of Law of the U.S. or any State thereof;
provided that (i) such SPC’s Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to
the Borrower hereunder and (ii) each Lender designating any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other
party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC
during such period of forbearance. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.05,
any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without
paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose
on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider
of any surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. Any grant by a Granting Lender to an SPC shall be recorded
in the Participant Register pursuant to subsection 9.5(c)(ii).


 


(f)            (i) Any
assignment or participation by a Lender without the Borrower’s consent to any Disqualified Institution or otherwise
not in compliance with this Section 9.05 shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 9.05(f), and
the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce this Section 9.05(f) in addition to injunctive
relief (without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm) or any other remedies available to the Borrower at law
or in equity; it being understood and agreed that Holdings and its Subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if any Lender breaches
any obligation under this Section 9.05 as it relates to any assignment, participation or pledge of any Loan or Commitment
to any Disqualified Institution or any other Person to whom the Borrower’s consent is required but not obtained. Nothing
in this Section 9.05(f) shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the Borrower may otherwise have
at law or equity. Upon the request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may make the list of Disqualified Institutions
(other than any Disqualified Institution under clause (a), (b)(ii), (d) or (e) of the definition
thereof) available to such Lender so long as such Lender agrees to keep the list of Disqualified Institutions confidential in accordance
with the terms hereof and such Lender may provide such list of Disqualified Institutions to any potential assignee or participant
on a confidential basis, solely for the purpose of permitting such potential assignee or participant to verify whether such Person
constitutes a Disqualified Institution or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Disqualified Institution.


 






    136


     


    

 


(ii)            If
any assignment or participation under this Section 9.05 is made to a Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s
prior written consent or otherwise not in compliance with this Section 9.05, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense
and effort (but without in any way limiting or waiving any rights, claims or remedies that any Loan Party may have against any
Person in connection therewith), upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution (or the applicable Lender) and the Administrative
Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution (or the applicable Lender) and repay all obligations
of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution (or the applicable Lender), (B) in the case of any outstanding Term
Loans, held by such Disqualified Institution (or the applicable Lender), purchase such Term Loans by paying the lesser of (x) par
and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution (or the applicable Lender) paid to acquire such Term Loans, plus
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees, Prepayment Premiums and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require
such Disqualified Institution (or the applicable Lender) to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in this Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible
Assignees; provided that (I) in the case of clause (B), the applicable Disqualified Institution (or the applicable
Lender) has received payment of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) par and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Institution
(or the applicable Lender) paid for the applicable Loans, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees, Prepayment Premiums
and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Borrower, (II) in the case of clause (C), the relevant assignment
shall otherwise comply with this Section 9.05 (except that no registration and processing fee required under this Section 9.05
shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph) and (III) in no event shall such Disqualified Institution
(or the applicable Lender) be entitled to receive amounts set forth in Section 2.13(c). Further, the Borrower may,
upon notice to the Administrative Agent, require that such Disqualified Institution (or the applicable Lender) (A) will not
receive information or reporting provided by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to
attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (B) (x) for
purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders or the majority Lenders under any Class have (i) consented (or not
consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document
or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed
or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to
or under any Loan Document, shall not have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action, and all Loans and Commitments held by any Disqualified Institution
(or the applicable Lender) shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders,
majority Lenders under any Class or all Lenders have taken any actions, and (y) hereby agrees that if a case or proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, such Disqualified Institution
(or the applicable Lender) will be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions (or
the applicable Lender) and that any vote by any such Disqualified Institution in violation of the foregoing shall not be counted
and (C) hereby agrees that the provisions of Section 9.03 shall not apply in favor of such Disqualified Institutions
(or the applicable Lender). For the sake of clarity, the provisions in this Section 9.05(f) shall not apply to
any Person that is an assignee of a Disqualified Institution (or the applicable Lender), if such assignee is not a Disqualified
Institution (or the applicable Lender).


 






    137


     


    

 



 


(iii)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, each of the Borrower and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent, in
its capacity as such, shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor
or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions (or the applicable Lender), including whether
any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Institution (or the applicable Lender). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not ‎(x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire
as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Institution (or the applicable Lender)
or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans or Commitments, or disclosure
of confidential information, to any ‎Disqualified Institution (or the applicable Lender) (regardless of whether the consent
of the Administrative Agent is required thereto), and none of the Borrower, any Lender or their respective Affiliates will bring
any claim to such effect.


 


Section 9.06.          Survival.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates
or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered
to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the
making of any Loan regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty
at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date. The provisions
of Sections 2.15, 2.17, 9.03 and 9.13 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full
force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the occurrence
of the Termination Date or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof but in each case, subject to the limitations
set forth in this Agreement.


 


Section 9.07.          Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Engagement Letter and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable
to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in
any Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation
of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with
the fair meaning thereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and when the Administrative Agent has received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each
of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile
or other electronic transmission (including by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” attachment) shall be effective
as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.


 


Section 9.08.         Severability.
To the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.


 






    138


     


    

 


Section 9.09.          Right
of Setoff. At any time when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized
at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of 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 obligations (in any currency)
at any time owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any
of and all the Obligations held by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative
Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured
or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different than the branch or office holding such deposit or obligation on such
Indebtedness. Any applicable Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application;
provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off
or application under this Section 9.09. The rights of each Lender and the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.09
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or the Administrative Agent
may have.

that is a Disqualified Institution, (b) to the extent compelled by legal process in, or reasonably necessary to, the defense
of such legal, judicial or administrative proceeding, in any legal, judicial or administrative proceeding or otherwise as required
by applicable Requirements of Law (in which case such Person shall (i) to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements
of Law, inform the Borrower promptly in advance thereof and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such
information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment), (c) to the extent required upon the demand or request of any
regulatory or governmental authority (including any self-regulatory body) purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or
its Affiliates (in which case such Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants
or any Governmental Authority or regulatory or self-regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, to the
extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, (i) inform the Borrower promptly in advance thereof and (ii) use
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment), (d) to any
other party to this Agreement (subject to Section 9.05(f) with respect to any Disqualified Institution), (e) subject
to an acknowledgment and agreement by the relevant recipient that the Confidential Information is being disseminated on a confidential
basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this paragraph or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent) in accordance with the market standards for dissemination of the relevant type of information, which shall in any event
require “click through” or other affirmative action on the part of the recipient to access the Confidential Information
and acknowledge its confidentiality obligations in respect thereof, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or
any prospective Eligible Assignee of or prospective Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including
any SPC (in each case other than a Disqualified Institution), (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.05 (other
than a Disqualified Institution), (iii) any actual or prospective, direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or its advisors)
to any Interest Hedge Transaction (including any credit default swap) or similar derivative product to which any Loan Party is
a party (in each case other than a Disqualified Institution) and (iv) subject to the Borrower’s prior approval of the
information to be disclosed, (x) to Moody’s or S&P on a confidential basis in connection with obtaining or maintaining
ratings as required under Section 5.13 or (y) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection
with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the facilities or, on a confidential basis, market data collectors
and service providers to the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the
Loan Documents, (f) with the prior written consent of the Borrower and (g) to the extent the Confidential Information
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.13 by such Person, its Affiliates
or their respective Representatives. For purposes of this Section 9.13, “Confidential Information”
means all information relating to Holdings and/or any of its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses or the Transactions
(including any information obtained by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives,
based on a review of any books and records relating to Holdings and/or any of its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates
from time to time, including prior to the date hereof) other than any such information that is publicly available to the Administrative
Agent, or Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of
doubt, in no event shall any disclosure of any Confidential Information be made to a Person that is a Disqualified Institution
at the time of disclosure.


 


Section 9.14.          No
Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely
for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties,
their stockholders and/or their respective affiliates. Each Loan Party 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 the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its respective stockholders or its respective
affiliates, on the other. Each Loan Party 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 Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading
thereto, (x) no Lender, in its capacity as such, has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan
Party, its respective stockholders or its respective 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 has advised, is
currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its respective stockholders or its respective Affiliates on other matters) or
any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender,
in its capacity as such, is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of such Loan Party, its respective management,
stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that such Loan Party has consulted its own
legal, tax 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. To the fullest extent permitted by the applicable
Requirements of Law, each Loan Party hereby agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
of their respective Affiliates with respect to any alleged breach of fiduciary duty arising solely by virtue of this Agreement.


 






    141


     


    

 


Section 9.15.          Several
Obligations. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender
to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.


 


Section 9.16.          USA
PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Loan Parties
that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.


 


Section 9.17.          Disclosure
of Agent Conflicts. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent and/or
its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan
Parties and their respective Affiliates.


 


Section 9.18.         Appointment
for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfection
the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, can be
perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority
over the security interest of another secured party) and the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that, it
holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Lenders as secured party. Should any Lender
obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly
upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefore shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in accordance
with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall also have the power and authority
hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents as may be necessary or required under applicable federal, state, provincial or territorial
law or otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan Documents. Each
Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.


 


Section 9.19.          Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any
Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Requirements
of Law (collectively the “Charged Amounts”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”)
which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable
Requirements of Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charged Amounts payable
in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charged Amounts that would
have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.19 shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charged Amounts payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective
Rate to the date of repayment, have been received by such Lender.


 






    142


     


    

 


Section 9.20.          Conflicts.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency
between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control; provided that
in the case of any conflict or inconsistency between any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and any Loan Document, the terms of
any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.


 


Section 9.21.          Release
of Liens and Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary, (a) any Lien encumbering
any item of Collateral shall be released in accordance with the terms of Section 7.12 of the Security Agreement and (b) any
Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder (and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically
released) (i) upon the consummation of any permitted transaction or series of related transactions if as a result thereof
such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall
have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise, (ii) upon such Subsidiary
Guarantor becoming or constituting an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or transactions permitted hereunder and/or
(iii) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date. In connection with any such release, the Administrative Agent (with the
consent of the Required Lenders) shall promptly execute and deliver to the relevant Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense,
all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence termination or release; provided, that (1) upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver such certifications or documents as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the requested release is permitted under this Section 9.21 and (2) the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms
that, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion or the opinion of its counsel, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability
or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien or Loan Guaranty, as applicable, without
recourse, representation or warranty. Any execution and delivery of any document pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 9.21
shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.


 


Section 9.22.         Acknowledgment
and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document
or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding of the parties hereto, each such party acknowledges that any liability
of any EEA 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 an EEA 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 an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which
may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA 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 EEA 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 any EEA Resolution
Authority.
