used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein. Notwithstanding
any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations
of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification
825-10-25 (previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159) (or any other Accounting Standards Codification
or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower

(b)          Changes
in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in
any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light
of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended,
(i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the
Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this
Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement
made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth

change shall not be given effect hereunder.

Terms. Terms defined in the UCC in effect on the
Closing Date and not otherwise defined herein shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, have the meanings provided by those

in effect.


 


1.05       Rounding.
Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the

of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of
such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such
increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.


 


1.08       Division.
For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable
event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes
the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original

been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS


 


2.01       Committed
Loans; 2020 Loans. 


 


(a)          Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Committed
Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount
not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment in respect of Committed Loans; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings (excluding 2020 Loans) shall not
exceed the Aggregate Commitments (excluding 2020 Loan Commitments), and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed
Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s
Commitment (excluding its 2020 Loan Commitment, if any). Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment (excluding its 2020
Loan Commitment, if any), and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section
2.01(a), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a). Committed Loans may be ABR Loans
or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.


 


(b)          Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each 2020 Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a
 “2020 Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s 2020 Loan Commitment; provided, however,
that after giving effect to any 2020 Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings corresponding with 2020 Loans shall not exceed the aggregate
of the 2020 Loan Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the 2020 Loans of any Lender with a 2020 Loan Commitment
shall not exceed such Lender’s 2020 Loan Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s 2020 Loan Commitment, and subject
to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under Section 2.05,
and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b). 2020 Loans may be ABR Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.


 


2.02       Borrowings,
Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans and 2020 Loans.


 


(a)          Each
Committed Borrowing and 2020 Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans and 2020 Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent,
which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three
(3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of
any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to ABR Committed Loans or ABR 2020 Loans, as applicable, and (ii) on the requested date
of any Borrowing of ABR Committed Loans or ABR 2020 Loans, as applicable. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice or
2020 Loan Notice, as applicable, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000
in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Committed
Loans or ABR 2020 Loans, as applicable, shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.
Each Committed Loan Notice or 2020 Loan Notice, as applicable (whether telephonic or written), shall specify (i) whether the Borrower
is requesting a Committed Borrowing or a 2020 Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other or 2020 Loans
from one Type to another, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Committed Borrowing or 2020
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of
Committed Loans or 2020 Loans, as applicable, to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans or 2020
Loans, as applicable, to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans or 2020 Loans, as applicable, are to be converted, and
(v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed
Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or 2020 Loan in a 2020 Loan Notice, or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting
a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans or 2020 Loans, as the case may be, shall be made as, or converted
to, ABR Loans. Any such automatic conversion to ABR Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in
effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice or 2020 Loan Notice, as applicable, but fails to specify an Interest
Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan.


 






    33


     


    

 


(b)          Following
receipt of a Committed Loan Notice or a 2020 Loan Notice, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans or 2020 Loans, and if no timely notice of
a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of
any automatic conversion to ABR Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing or 2020 Borrowing,
as applicable, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan or 2020 Loan, as the case may be, available to the Administrative
Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified
in the applicable Committed Loan Notice or 2020 Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section
4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all
funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the
account of the Borrower on the books of JPMCB with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case
in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided,
however, that if, on the date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C
Borrowings or Swing Line Loans outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment
in full of any such L/C Borrowings, second, shall be applied to the payment in full of any outstanding Swing Line Loans,
and third, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.


 






    34


     


    

 


(c)          Except
as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period
for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar
Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.


 


(d)          The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period
for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that ABR Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Alternate Base Rate promptly
following the public announcement of such change.


 


(e)          After
giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations
of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed
Loans. After giving effect to all 2020 Borrowings, all conversions of 2020 Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations
of 2020 Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect with respect to 2020 Loans.


 


2.03       Letters
of Credit.


 


(a)          The Letter of Credit Commitment.


 


(i)             Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the
Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing
Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit upon request from the Borrower as an applicant thereof
or for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by
it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally
agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder;
provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) (i) the aggregate
undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer at such time plus (ii) the aggregate amount of all
L/C Borrowings made by the L/C Issuer that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower or converted to Committed
Loans at such time shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment, (x) the Total Outstandings (excluding 2020 Loans) shall not
exceed the Aggregate Commitments (excluding 2020 Loan Commitments), (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans
of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s
Commitment (excluding its 2020 Loan Commitment, if any), and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed
the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed
to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the
proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s
ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain
Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The Borrower unconditionally
and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the support of any Subsidiary’s obligations
as provided in this Section 2.03(a)(i), the Borrower will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of L/C Borrowings in accordance
with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under Section 2.03(i) to the same extent as
if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that
might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such a Subsidiary that is an account party in
respect of any such Letter of Credit). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the letters of credit identified on Schedule 2.03
(the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued on the Closing
Date for all purposes of the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, no Letters of Credit shall be available under the 2020
Loan Commitments.


 






    35


     


    

 


(ii)             The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such
requested Letter of Credit would occur after the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last extension
and (B) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless the Required Lenders and the applicable L/C Issuer have approved such expiry
date; provided that, upon the Borrower’s request, any Letter of Credit which is issued in the final year prior to
the Maturity Date for Committed Loans and Letters of Credit may have an expiry date which is not later than one (1) year after
such Maturity Date if Cash Collateralized in compliance with Section 2.03(g) below (each such Letter of Credit, an “Extended
Letter of Credit”).


 


(iii)             The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:


 


(A)             any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether
or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request
that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose
upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer
is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed
loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;


 


(B)             the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer;


 






    36


     


    

 


(C)             except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated
amount less than $50,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $250,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit;


 


(D)             such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;


 


(E)             such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder;


 


(F)             a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a
Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender
to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender; or


 


(G)             the proceeds of such Letter of Credit would be made available to any Person (1) for the purpose of funding, financing or
facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, to the extent
such activities, business or transaction would be prohibited by Sanctions if conducted by a corporation incorporated in the United
States or in a European Union member state or (2) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable
to any party hereto.


 


(iv)             The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such
Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.


 


(v)             The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation
at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.


 


(vi)             The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article
X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it
or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative
Agent” as used in Article X included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally
provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.


 






    37


     


    

 


(b)          Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.


 


(i)             Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the
L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C
Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as
the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall
specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of
Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text
of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C
Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application
shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed
date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters
as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other
documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents,
as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.


 


(ii)             Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower
and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written
notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance
or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not
then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter
of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may
be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance
of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the
L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
(excluding 2020 Loans and 2020 Loan Commitments) times the amount of such Letter of Credit.


 


(iii)             If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter
of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any
such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving
prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer,
the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit
the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided,
however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not
be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under
the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received
notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice
Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied,
and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.


 






    38


     


    

 


(iv)             Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect
thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and
complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.


 


(c)          Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.


 


(i)             Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C
Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by
the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the
L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse
the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed
drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In
such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of ABR Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date
in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for
the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments (excluding
2020 Loan Commitments) and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice).
Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone
if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness
or binding effect of such notice.


 


(ii)             Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage (excluding
2020 Loans and 2020 Loan Commitments) of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such
notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that
so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.


 






    39


     


    

 


(iii)             With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of ABR Loans because the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred
from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall
be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment
in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.03.


 


(iv)             Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer
for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount
shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.


 


(v)             Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under
Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected
by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against
the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or
(C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however,
that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance
shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made
by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.


 


(vi)             If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required
to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section
2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand,
such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately
available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined
by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar
fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and
fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing
or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.


 






    40


     


    

 


(d)          Repayment of Participations.


 


(i)             At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s
L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the
account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from
the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative
Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments,
to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding, and excluding 2020 Loans and 2020 Loan
Commitments) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.


 


(ii)             If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)
is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof (excluding 2020 Loans and 2020 Loan Commitments for purposes hereof) on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at
a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this
clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.


 


(e)          Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter
of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:


 


(i)             any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;


 


(ii)             the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at
any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any
such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;


 


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


 






    41


     


    

 


(iv)             any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or
other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection
with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or


 


(v)             any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.


 


The Borrower shall
promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim
of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer.
The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such
notice is given as aforesaid.


 


(f)           Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the
L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly
required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority
of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective
Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action
taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable;
(ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final nonappealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction); or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document
or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions
of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption
is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary
or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related
Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters
described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the
Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the
Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined
by a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under
any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with
the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice
or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring
or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in
whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.


 






    42


     


    

 


(g)          Cash
Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request
under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that remains outstanding, (ii) if, as of the Letter
of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, or (iii) Cash Collateral is required pursuant
to Section 2.03(a)(ii) in connection with the issuance of any Extended Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall, in the case of the
foregoing clause (i), on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, if
such notice is received prior to 1:00 p.m. (and on the next Business Day if such notice is received after such time), in the case
of the foregoing clause (ii), immediately, and in the case of clause (iii), five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date
applicable for Letters of Credit, Cash Collateralize (x) the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in the case of the
foregoing clauses (i) and (ii)) or (y) an amount in cash equal to the L/C Obligations in respect of each such Extended Letter
of Credit (in the case of the foregoing clause (iii)). Sections 2.05 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional
requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section
8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant
to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby
consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances
therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts
at JPMCB. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative
Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding
Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be
free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral,
such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the L/C Issuer.


 


(h)          Applicability
of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i)
the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to
each commercial Letter of Credit.


 






    43


     


    

 



 


(i)             Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance
with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) (i) for each commercial Letter
of Credit equal to one percent (1%) per annum times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and
(ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such
Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly
basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date
and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn
under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such
quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while a Default or
an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(f) exists, or at the election of the Required Lenders after
any other Default or an Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.


 


(j)            
Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the
L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, at a rate to be agreed between
the Borrower and the L/C Issuer, computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with
respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately
agreed between the Borrower and the L/C Issuer, computed on the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of
such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at a rate of 0.125% per annum, computed on the face amount
of such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day
after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof,
in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn
under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. In
addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment
and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to
time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.


 


(k)          
Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer
Document, the terms hereof shall control.


  



    44


     


    




 


(l)            
Replacement and Resignation of L/C Issuer.


 


(i)               
The L/C Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced
L/C Issuer and the successor L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the L/C Issuer.
At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the
replaced L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(i). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor
L/C Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to
such successor or to any previous L/C Issuer, or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require.
After the replacement of an L/C Issuer hereunder, the replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have
all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued
by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.


 


(ii)              
The L/C Issuer may resign as an L/C Issuer at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such L/C Issuer shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.03(l)(i) above;
provided, however, in the event that there is only one (1) L/C Issuer at any time during the term of this Agreement and such L/C
Issuer desires to resign as an L/C Issuer, then resignation of such L/C Issuer shall not be effective until such time as a successor
L/C Issuer has been appointed and accepted.


 


(m)          
L/C Issuer Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer shall report in writing
to the Administrative Agent (i) promptly following the end of each calendar month, the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit issued
by it and outstanding at the end of such month, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer expects to issue,
amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face
amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such L/C Issuer shall
not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur
without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii)
on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit, the date of such payment under such
Letter of Credit and the amount of such payment, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse any payment
under any Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of
such payment and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

2.04       
Swing Line Loans.


 


(a)           The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender may in its sole discretion,
in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, make loans (each such loan, a
 “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period for
Swing Line Loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of
Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment
(excluding its 2020 Loan Commitment, if any); provided, further, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan,
(i) the Total Outstandings (excluding the 2020 Loans) shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments (excluding the 2020 Loans and
2020 Loan Commitments), and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment (excluding its 2020 Loan Commitment,
if any), and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance
any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower
may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each
Swing Line Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender, based on its Commitment (excluding
its 2020 Loan Commitment) shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line
Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
(excluding its 2020 Loans and 2020 Loan Commitments) times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. No Swing Line Loans shall
be available under the 2020 Loan Commitments.


  


(b)          
Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone (confirmed in writing). Each such notice must be
received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall
specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $250,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall
be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly
after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the
Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line
Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender)
prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing
Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that
one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make
the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books
of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.


 






    46


     


    

 


(c)           
Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.


 


(i)              
The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make an ABR Committed Loan in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (excluding 2020 Loans and 2020 Loan Commitments) of the amount of Swing Line
Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice
for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified therein for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable
Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal
to its Applicable Percentage (excluding 2020 Loans and 2020 Loan Commitments) of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice
available to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender
at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon,
subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Committed
Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing of any refinancing of or participations in any Swing Line Loan acquired pursuant to
this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swing Line Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to
the Swing Line Lender.


 


(ii)              
If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i),
the request for ABR Committed Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the
Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be
deemed payment in respect of such participation.


 


(iii)            
If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required
to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section
2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent),
on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such
amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in
the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of
the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause
(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 






    47


     


    

 


(iv)            
Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant
to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower
or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event
or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation
to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.
No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans,
together with interest as provided herein.


 


(v)              
Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), upon the occurrence of (i) the Maturity Date in respect of Swing Line
Loans, (ii) any Event of Default described in Sections 8.01(f) or (g), (iii) the date on which the Loans (other
than 2020 Loans) are accelerated; or (iv) the date on which the Commitments (excluding 2020 Loan Commitments) shall be terminated
(each, a “Swing Line Participation Event”), each Lender shall be deemed to absolutely and unconditionally acquire
participations in all of the Swing Line Loans outstanding at such time in each case without notice or any further action from the
Swing Line Lender, Lender or the Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon
the occurrence of such Swing Line Participation Event (and in any event, if such Swing Line Participation Event occurs (x) by
11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, no later than 1:00 p.m. on such Business Day, or (y) after 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, no
later than 11:00 a.m. on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing
Line Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (excluding 2020 Loans and 2020 Loan Commitments) of all such Swing Line
Loans.


 


(d)          
Repayment of Participations.


 


(i)               
At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender
receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage
(excluding 2020 Loans and 2020 Loan Commitments) of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received
by the Swing Line Lender.


 


(ii)              
If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required
to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to
any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable
Percentage (excluding 2020 Loans and 2020 Loan Commitments) thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under
this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.


 






    48


     


    

 


(e)           
Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower
for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its ABR Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section
2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (excluding 2020 Loan Commitments and 2020 Loans) of any Swing Line
Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.


 


(f)           
Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect
of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.


 


(g)          
Replacement of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swing Line Lender and the successor Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent
shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swing Line Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective,
the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(a).
From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Swing Line Lender shall have all the rights and
obligations of the replaced Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made thereafter and (y) references
herein to the term “Swing Line Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swing Line Lender,
or to such successor and all previous Swing Line Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Swing Line
Lender hereunder, the replaced Swing Line Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of a Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not
be required to make additional Swing Line Loans.


 


(h)           
Resignation of Swing Line Lender. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swing Line Lender, the
Swing Line Lender may resign as Swing Line Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, the Swing Line Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.04(g)
above.


 


2.05       
Prepayments.


 


(a)          
Voluntary Prepayments of Committed Loans and 2020 Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent,
at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans or 2020 Loans, as applicable, in whole or in part without premium
or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three
(3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of ABR Committed Loans
or ABR 2020 Loans, as applicable; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or
a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of ABR Committed Loans or ABR 2020 Loans shall be in
a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal
amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed
Loans or 2020 Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Committed Loans
or 2020 Loans, as applicable. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and
of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower
shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans or 2020
Loans, as the case may be, of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.


 






    49


     


    

 


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


 


(c)           
Mandatory Prepayments of 2020 Loans and Committed Loans. If for any reason the Total Outstandings corresponding with
2020 Loans at any time exceed the aggregate of the 2020 Loan Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay
2020 Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If for any reason the Total Outstandings (excluding 2020 Loans) at any
time exceed the Aggregate Commitments (excluding 2020 Loan Commitments) then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans
(other than 2020 Loans) and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided,
however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)
unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans (other than 2020 Loans) the Total Outstandings (excluding 2020 Loans) exceed the
Aggregate Commitments (excluding 2020 Loan Commitments) then in effect. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied
by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each
such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans or 2020 Loans, as applicable, of the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall not reduce the Aggregate Commitments and
may be reborrowed.


 


2.06       
Termination or Reduction of Commitments.


 


The Borrower may, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate
Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five
Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of
$1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall indicate whether such partial reductions
apply to Commitments in respect of Committed Loans or 2020 Loans; (iv) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate
Commitments (excluding 2020 Loan Commitments) if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the
Total Outstandings (excluding 2020 Loans) would exceed the Aggregate Commitments (excluding 2020 Loan Commitments); (v) the Borrower
shall not terminate or reduce the 2020 Loan Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder,
the Total Outstandings in respect of 2020 Loans would exceed the aggregate of the 2020 Loan Commitments; and (vi) if, after giving
effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments (excluding 2020 Loan Commitments), the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing
Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments (excluding 2020 Loan Commitments), such Sublimit shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination
or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each
Lender according to its Applicable Percentage (giving effect to whether such reduction applies to 2020 Loan Commitments or Commitments
in respect of Committed Loans). All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall
be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.07       
Repayment of Loans.


 


(a)          
The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders with 2020 Loan Commitments and 2020 Loans on the Maturity Date therefor the aggregate
principal amount of 2020 Loans outstanding on such date. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders with Commitments other than 2020
Loan Commitments on the Maturity Date therefor the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans outstanding on such date.


 


(b)          
The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Swing
Line Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date for Swing Line Loans.


 


2.08        
Interest.


 


(a)          
Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Rate; (ii) each ABR Committed Loan and each ABR 2020 Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing
date at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate or such other rate per annum as may be mutually agreed upon by the Swing
Line Lender and the Borrower.


 


(b)          
(i) If a Default or an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(f) occurs (without regard
to any applicable grace periods), or at the election of the Required Lenders after any other Default or an Event of Default occurs,
interest on all Loans and all outstanding Obligations shall accrue at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Laws.


 






    51


     


    

 


(ii)             
Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon
demand; provided, that until such amounts are paid in full, they shall accrue interest at the Default Rate applicable to
ABR Loans to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.


 


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


 


2.09       
Fees. In addition to certain fees described
in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:


 


(a)          
Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender with a 2020 Loan
Commitment in accordance with its Applicable Percentage (based on its 2020 Loan Commitment and 2020 Loans), a commitment fee (the
 “2020 Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate
of the 2020 Loan Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of 2020 Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender with a Commitment in respect of Committed Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage (based
on such Commitment and Committed Loans), a commitment fee (the “Original Commitment Fee”; together with the
2020 Commitment Fee, the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount
by which the Aggregate Commitments (excluding 2020 Loan Commitments) exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Committed
Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The 2020 Commitment Fee and Original Commitment Fee shall accrue at all
times during the Availability Period applicable thereto, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article
IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June,
September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date or the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date,
as applicable, and on the Maturity Date therefor. The applicable Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if
there is any change in the Applicable Rate therefor during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied
by such Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.


 


(b)          
Other Fees. (i)       The Borrower shall pay to the Co-Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective
accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall
not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.


 






    52


     


    

 


(ii)              
The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such other fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts
and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.


 


2.10       
Computation of Interest and Fees. All
computations of interest for ABR Loans when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be
made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid
than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and
shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that
any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day.
Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.


 


2.11       
Evidence of Debt.


 


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


 


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


 


2.12       
Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.


 


(a)          
General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative
Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such
payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue
to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on
the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.


 






    53


     


    

 


(b)          
(i)       Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans or 2020 Borrowing of Eurodollar
Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender
will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing or 2020 Borrowing, as
applicable, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of ABR Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance
with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower
a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing or 2020
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds 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 (A) in the case of a payment to be made by 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, plus any administrative processing
or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment
to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest
to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower
the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing
or 2020 Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan or 2020
Loan included in such Committed Borrowing or 2020 Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim
the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.


 


(ii)              
Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
L/C Issuer 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 Lenders or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount
so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.


 






    54


     


    

 


A notice of the Administrative
Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.


 


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


 


(d)          
Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans or 2020 Loans, to
fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several
and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan or 2020 Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any
payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation
to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan or
2020 Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).


 


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


 


(f)           
Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to
pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first,
toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts
of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to
such parties. Amounts shall be ratably shared between Obligations in respect of 2020 Loans, Committed Loans, Letters of Credit,
and Swing Line Loans (as and if applicable) unless otherwise indicated.


 






    55


     


    

 


2.13       
Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of
or interest on any of the Committed Loans or 2020 Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line
Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed
Loans or 2020 Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof
as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact,
and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans or 2020 Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations
and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Committed Loans and 2020 Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:


 


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


 


(ii)             
the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment
of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or 2020 Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this
Section shall apply).


 


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


 


2.14       
Increase in Aggregate Commitments; Issuance of Incremental Term Loans.


 


(a)           
Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may
from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments, with such increase taking the form of an increase in the availability
of Committed Loans or the entry into one or more tranches of term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan”). The
aggregate amount for all such requests shall not exceed $200,000,000, as such amount shall be reduced by the aggregate principal
amount of the 2020 Loan Commitments as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date; provided that any such request for an increase
shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000.


 


(b)          
Lender Elections to Increase; Additional Lenders. The Borrower and Administrative Agent may arrange for any such
increase to be provided by one or more Lenders, or by invitation to one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities
(each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”; provided that no
Augmenting Lender may be a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries)
to become Lenders hereunder, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender (which
approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), pursuant to a joinder agreement and other related documentation in form
and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. No Lender shall be required to participate in any such
increase.


 






    56


     


    

 


(c)           
Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments and Obligations are increased in accordance with this
Section (including as a result of the issuance of Incremental Term Loans), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine
the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.


 


(d)          
Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer
of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such
increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations
and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective
Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they
are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and
warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements
furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, (B) no Default exists and (C) the Borrower is
in pro forma compliance with Section 7.14(b). As a further condition precedent to such increase, the
Administrative Agent may request opinions of counsel, other certificates and documentation it may reasonably require with respect
to such increase. Upon the Increase Effective Date, (x) the Aggregate Commitment will be deemed to have increased by the
amount of such Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.14 if such increase involved additional Committed Loan availability,
and the Obligations shall increase by the principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans issued pursuant hereto, if such increase
involved Incremental Term Loans, (y) entries in the Register will be revised to reflect the revised Commitments, Incremental Term
Loans and/or Applicable Percentages of each of the Lenders (including each new Lender) and (z) in connection with an increase
of Committed Loan availability, the outstanding Loans will be reallocated on the effective date of such increase among the Lenders
with Commitments in accordance with their revised Applicable Percentages and the Lenders (including each new Lender) agree to
make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the Borrower shall pay any and all costs required
pursuant to Section 3.05 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment; provided,
that the Administrative Agent agrees to cooperate with the Borrower with respect to the timing of such reallocation so as to minimize
any incurrence by the Borrower of costs required pursuant to Section 3.05. In connection with any increase of the Commitments
or Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.14, (1) the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from the Borrower
and any Augmenting Lender, as well as the Required Lenders, any such other documentation as is reasonably required to give effect
to the provisions hereof and the increase of Commitments hereunder or issuance of Incremental Term Loans and (2) any Augmenting
Lender becoming a party hereto shall (a) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request
and (b) in the case of any Augmenting Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of
America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall
be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act. Holders of Incremental Term Loans shall constitute Lenders hereunder,
and the Incremental Term Loans shall be treated the same as Committed Loans with respect to payment priority, maturity, representations,
warranties, covenants, events of default and other similar provisions set forth herein; provided, that the Maturity Date
for the 2020 Loans may occur earlier than the Maturity Date for the Committed Loans and Incremental Term Loans.

(e)          
Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to
the contrary.


 


2.15       
Defaulting Lenders. 


 


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


 


(a)           
fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a);


 


(b)          
the Commitment, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether
the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification
pursuant to Section 10.01); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in
the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Defaulting Lender as set forth in Section
10.01;


 


(c)           
if any Swing Line Exposure or L/C Obligations exist at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:


 


(i)                
all or any part of the Swing Line Exposure and L/C Obligations of such Defaulting Lender (other than the portion of such
Swing Line Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders
in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting
Lender, cause such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Outstanding Amounts in respect of Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations
plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Exposure and L/C Obligations do not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Commitments; and


 


(ii)              
if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within
one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Line Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize,
for the benefit of the L/C Issuers, the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations
(after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
2.03(g) for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding;


 






    58


     


    

 


(iii)             
if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations pursuant to clause (ii)
above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(i) with respect
to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are cash collateralized;


 


(iv)            
if the L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable
to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.09(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Applicable Percentage; and


 


(v)              
if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized
pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder,
all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.03(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall
be payable to the L/C Issuer until and to the extent that such L/C Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized;


 


(d)          
so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and
the L/C Issuers not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure
and such Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Obligations will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting
Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.03(g), and participating interests
in any such newly made Swing Line Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders
in a manner consistent with Section 2.15(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein);


 


(e)           
if (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof
and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender
has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the
Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, amend or increase
any Letter of Credit, unless the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements
with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any
risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder; and


 


(f)           
in the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender each agrees that a Defaulting
Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure and
L/C Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date
such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans) as the Administrative Agent
shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY


 


3.01       
Taxes.


 


(a)          
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes, provided that if an applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith
discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes,
the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii)
the Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law.


 


(b)          
Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall
timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.


 


(c)           
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient within ten (10) days after demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on
or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Recipient and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the
L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender
or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


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


 


(e)           
Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax, with respect
to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or
at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will
enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements and to allow the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with any information reporting requirements
to which they are subject. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and
submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.01(e)(ii)(A), 3.01(e)(ii)(B)
and 3.01(h) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial
position of such Lender.


 






    60


     


    

 


(ii) Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,


 


(A)          any
Lender that is a U.S. person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender
is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;


 


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


 


(i)               
duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income
tax treaty to which the United States is a party,


 


(ii)              
duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,


 


(iii)       
       in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest
under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank”
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the
meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or


 


(iv)            
any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit
the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.


 






    61


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(f)           
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund
of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses relating to such refund of the applicable Recipient, and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that
the Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest
or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its
tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.


 


(g)          
Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent
for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified
the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so)
attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan
Documents and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such amounts were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 3.01(g) shall be paid
within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender or the L/C Issuer a certificate stating the
amount so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent
manifest error.


 


(h)          
FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed
by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in
Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s
obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes
of this Section 3.01(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


 






    62


     


    

 


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


 


3.02       
Illegality. If any Lender determines
that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable
Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar
Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to
take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative
Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert ABR Committed Loans or ABR 2020 Loans
to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans,
either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans
to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment
or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.


 


3.03       
Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior
to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan:


 


(a)          
the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or


 


(b)          
the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining or continuing or converting their Loans included in such Borrowing
for such Interest Period;


 






    63


     


    

 


then the Administrative
Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter
and, until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Committed Loan Notice or 2020 Loan Notice that requests
the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be ineffective and any such
proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) if
any Committed Loan Notice or 2020 Loan Notice requests a Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Committed Borrowing
or 2020 Borrowing, as applicable, of an ABR Loan.


 


3.04       
Increased Costs.


 


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


 


(i)                
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory
loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
or participated in by, any Lender (including any Statutory Reserve Requirement) or the L/C Issuer;


 


(ii)             
subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any Tax on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit,
commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (except for Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable
by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or


 


(iii)            
impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;


 


and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Person of making or maintaining or continuing or converting any Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make, continue or convert any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Person of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then,
upon request of such Person, the Borrower will pay to such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.


 


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


 






    64


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


3.05       
Compensation for Losses. Upon demand
of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for
and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:


 


(a)           
any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than an ABR Loan on a day other than the last day
of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or


 


(b)          
any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue
or convert any Loan other than an ABR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or


 


(c)          
any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of
a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13; including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising
from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits
from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection
with the foregoing.


 


For purposes of calculating
amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank
eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so
funded.


 






    65


     


    

 


3.06       
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.


 


(a)          
Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the
Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation
or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be,
in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.


 


(b)          
Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section
10.13.


 


3.07       
Survival. All of the Borrower’s
obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations
hereunder.

a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders 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 and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set

has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1)
the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead
be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative

to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Co-Lead Arrangers or “syndication agent,” “documentation agent”

the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

the L/C Issuer 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.

of a transaction permitted hereunder.


 


Upon request by the
Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release
any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.

gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any
liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand,

failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single

litigation or proceeding), whether brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its or their respective equity holders, Affiliates,
creditors or any other third Person, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
(x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an

the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time
that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed
expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against

Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or
Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any

Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part
thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent
of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally

to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten
(10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;


 


(ii)             each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not
apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans;


 


(iii)             any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent and, for Commitments other than 2020 Loan Commitments,
the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the
proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and


 


(iv)             (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that such processing and recordation fee shall
be waived by the Administrative Agent in connection with any assignment to an Approved Fund, and (2) the Eligible Assignee, if
it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.


 






    104


     


    

 


Subject to acceptance
and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and
the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from
its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring
prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to
the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply
with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights
and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. The Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify
the Borrower of any assignment hereunder promptly after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that the failure
of the Administrative Agent to so notify the Borrower shall not result in any liability for the Administrative Agent.


 


(c)             Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for
the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest)
of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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 each of the Borrower and the L/C Issuer at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or
substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may
request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.


 


(d)             Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations
in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.


 






    105


     


    

 


Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or
other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection
(e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04
and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b)
of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08
as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.


 


(e)             Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to
such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.
A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower,
to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section
3.01(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant
and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the
 “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of
the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in the obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such
interest is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant
Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.


 


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


 


(g)             Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if at any time JPMCB assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, JPMCB may, (i) upon thirty
(30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to
the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower
shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however,
that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of JPMCB as L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be. If JPMCB resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder
with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations
with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed
Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If JPMCB resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing
Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such
resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding
Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).


 






    106


     


    

 


10.07        
Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential),
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations
or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower.


 


For purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary and other
than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table
providers, that serve the lending industry, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any
Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required
to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation
to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person
would accord to its own confidential information.


 






    107


     


    

 


Each of the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning
the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and
state securities Laws.


 


All Information, including
requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering,
this Agreement will be syndicate-level Information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the other
Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive Information
that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable Law.


 


10.08     
Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized
at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed
to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on
such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates
may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff
and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.


 


10.09     
Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall
not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall
be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether
the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person
may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium
rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread
in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.


 






    108


     


    

 


10.10     
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative
Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or email shall be effective as delivery of
a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,”
 “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records
in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature,
physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for
in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic
Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that
nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written
consent.


 


10.11     
Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or
thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations
and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may
have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as
long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.


 


10.12     
Severability. If any provision of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions
the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity
of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.


 






    109


     


    

 


10.13     
Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any
Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or (iii) any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts
such assignment), provided that:


 


(a)             the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);


 


(b)             such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any
amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees)
or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);


 


(c)             in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be
made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and


 


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


 


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


 


10.14     
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.


 


(a)             This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of
New York.


 


(b)             Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, notwithstanding the
governing law provisions of any applicable Loan Document, any claims brought against the Administrative Agent by any Lender relating
to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the consummation or administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may (and any such claims, cross-claims or
third party claims brought against the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties may only) be heard and determined in
such Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment
in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative
Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the
Borrower, any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.


 


(d) Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection
which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding in any such court.


 


(e) Each party to this
Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.02. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.


 


10.16     
No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.
In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges
its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services
in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document)
are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative
Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands
and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including
any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction,
the Administrative Agent and each of the Co-Lead Arrangers is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial

(iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Co-Lead Arrangers have assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility
in favor of the Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including
with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent or the Co-Lead Arrangers have advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and
neither the Administrative Agent nor Co-Lead Arrangers have any obligation to the Borrower, or any of its Affiliates with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv)
the Administrative Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions
that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of the Co-Lead Arrangers have any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship;
and (v) the Administrative Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory
or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification
hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to
the extent it has deemed appropriate. The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims
that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Co-Lead Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency

10.17     
USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender
that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the
Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender

The parties to this Agreement agree that, on the Closing Date, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall
be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement

Date, (e) the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Lender (including any Departing Lender) for any and all losses, costs and
expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurodollar Rate Loans (including the “Eurodollar

than obligations to pay contingent indemnity obligations and other contingent obligations owing to it under the “Loan Documents”
as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and each Departing Lender shall not be a Lender hereunder


 


10.21

to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S.

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


 


As used in this Section 10.21, the following
terms have the following meanings:


 


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


 


“Covered Entity”
means any of the following:


 


		(i)	a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);



 


		(ii)	a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12
C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or



 


		(iii)	a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12
C.F.R. § 382.2(b).



 


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


 


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


 


10.22     
Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the
date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto
to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Co-Lead Arranger
and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party,
that at least one of the following is and will be true:


 


(i)             such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit
Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,


 


(ii)             the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined
by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance
company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts),
PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption
for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into,
participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,


 


(iii)             (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning
of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender
to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the
entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this
Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge
of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s
entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this
Agreement, or


 


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


 






    114


     


    

 


(b)             In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or
such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding
clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto,
to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender
party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Co-Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not,
for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent,
or any Co-Lead Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the Collateral or the assets of such
Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement,
any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).


 






    115


     


    

 


(c)             The Administrative Agent, and each Co-Lead Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking
to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,
and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof
(i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, this Agreement
and any other Loan Documents (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments
for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender
or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or
otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking

EXECUTION COPY


 


GUARANTY


 


THIS GUARANTY, dated
as of August 12, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”)
is made by certain Subsidiaries of TEXAS ROADHOUSE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), from time
to time signatory hereto (whether as of the date hereof or pursuant to a supplement in the form of Exhibit A hereto; collectively,
the “Guarantors”) in favor of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent and contractual representative
of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement referred to below (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).
Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the below defined Credit Agreement.


 


WITNESSETH


 


WHEREAS, the Borrower
is party to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time
(the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent;


 


WHEREAS, it is a condition
precedent to the extensions of credit by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement that each of the Guarantors execute and deliver
this Guaranty whereby each of the Guarantors, without limitation and with full recourse, guarantee the payment and performance
when due, of all Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined);


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


1.                Guaranty.
Each Guarantor jointly and severally hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance
and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon
acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all Obligations, and any and all existing and future indebtedness
and liabilities of every kind, nature and character, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary
or involuntary and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders arising under the Credit Agreement and all instruments, agreements and other
documents of every kind and nature now or hereafter executed in connection with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents
(including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancing and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees
and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof), and
whether recovery upon such indebtedness and liabilities may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed
claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against such Guarantor or the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, and including
interest that accrues after the commencement by or against the Borrower of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (collectively,
the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Administrative Agent’s and each of the Lender’s books and records
showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding
upon the Guarantors and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall
not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or
agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral
therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to
the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have
or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty,
the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder
shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer
Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount
of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that
any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Guarantor may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement
or applicable law shall be taken into account.


 






    


     


    

 


2.                 
No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes.  Each Guarantor represents and warrants that it is incorporated or formed and
a resident in the United States of America. All payments by any Guarantor hereunder shall be paid in full, without setoff or counterclaim
or any deduction or withholding whatsoever, including, without limitation, for any and all present and future taxes. If any Guarantor
must make a payment under this Guaranty, such Guarantor represents and warrants that it will make the payment from one of its U.S.
resident offices to the Administrative Agent so that no withholding tax is imposed on the payment. If notwithstanding the foregoing,
any Guarantor makes a payment under this Guaranty to which withholding tax applies, or any taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) are
at any time imposed on any payments under or in respect of this Guaranty including, but not limited to, payments made pursuant
to this Paragraph 2, such Guarantor shall pay all such taxes to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law such that
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders receives the sum they would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made
and shall also pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on demand, all additional amounts which the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders specify as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Administrative Agent and the Lenders would have received
if such taxes had not been imposed.


 


Each Guarantor shall
promptly provide the Administrative Agent with an original receipt or certified copy issued by the relevant authority evidencing
the payment of any such amount required to be deducted or withheld.


 


3.                 
No Termination. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter
existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty
are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and performed in full and any commitments of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or
facilities provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. At the
Administrative Agent’s option, all payments under this Guaranty shall be made to an office of the Administrative Agent located
in the United States and in U.S. Dollars.


 






    2


     


    

 


4.                 
Rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing
effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the
terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell,
or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and
direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or
substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such
Guarantor.


 


5.                 
Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or
similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts
payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders or facilities provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated.
If any amounts are paid to such Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.


 


6.                 
Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of
the Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender) of the liability of the Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations
exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s
liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed against the Borrower, proceed against
or exhaust any security for the Indebtedness, or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s
power whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from
or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives
all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance,
protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect
to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new
or additional Guaranteed Obligations.


 


7.                 
Exhaustion of Other Remedies Not Required. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor,
and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor waives diligence by the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders and action on delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including, without
limitation any provisions of law requiring the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exhaust any right or remedy or to take any
action against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other person, entity or property before enforcing this Guaranty against
such Guarantor.


 






    3


     


    

 


8.                 
Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, this Guaranty shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is revoked,
terminated, rescinded or reduced or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
the Borrower or any other person or entity or otherwise, as if such payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders are in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination
or reduction.


 


9.                 
Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the Borrower
owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of the Borrower
to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under
this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. If the Administrative Agent so requests, any
such obligation or indebtedness of the Borrower to such Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor
as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent
on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under
this Guaranty.


 


10.             
Contribution with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations.


 


(a) To the extent that
any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other
Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been
paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor
Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately
prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior
to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the
Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations that have not yet arisen), and all Commitments and Letters of Credit
have terminated or expired, or, in the case of all Letters of Credit, are fully collateralized on terms reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed
by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately
prior to such Guarantor Payment.


 


(b)              
As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the excess
of the fair saleable value of the property of such Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the maximum
amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other
Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made
by other Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.


 






    4


     


    

 


(c)              
This Section 10 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section
10 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the
same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty.


 


(d)              
The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of
the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.


 


(e)              
The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 10 shall be exercisable upon the full
and indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash (other than contingent obligations that have not yet arisen) and
the termination or expiry (or in the case of all Letters of Credit full collateralization), on terms reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement.


 


11.             
Information.  Each Guarantor agrees to furnish promptly to the Administrative Agent any and all financial or
other information regarding such Guarantor or its property as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in writing.


 


12.             
Stay of Acceleration.  In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations
is stayed in connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or the Borrower or under any Debtor Relief Laws, or
otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by such Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent.


 


13.             
Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay on demand all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses and the allocated cost and disbursements of internal legal counsel) in any way relating to the enforcement or
protection of the Administrative Agent’s and each of the Lender’s rights under this Guaranty, including any incurred
in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any case commenced by
or against such Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any similar or successor statute. The obligations
of each Guarantor under the preceding sentence shall survive termination of this Guaranty.


 


14.             
Amendments. No provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written
instrument executed by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors.


 


15.             
No Waiver; Enforceability. No failure by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy
or power. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability
or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein.


 






    5


     


    

 


16.             
Assignment; Governing Laws; Jurisdiction. This Guaranty shall (a) bind each Guarantor and its successors and
assigns, provided that no Guarantor may assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void), (b) inure to the benefit of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders and their successors and assigns and the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may, without notice
to such Guarantor and without affecting such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, assign or sell their participations in the
Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, in whole or in part, and (c) be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York.
Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state of New York and of the United States
for the Southern District of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, and (ii) waives
to the fullest extent permitted by law any defense asserting an inconvenient forum in connection therewith. Service of process
by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such action or proceeding shall be binding on any Guarantor if given
in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor agrees that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
may disclose to any prospective purchaser and any purchaser of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all information
in the Administrative Agent’s or the Lender’s possession concerning such Guarantor, this Guaranty and any security
for this Guaranty.


 


17.             
Condition of the Borrower. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and
has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations
of the Borrower as such Guarantor requires, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty, and such Guarantor
is not relying on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to
the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower.


 


18.             
Setoff. If and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
may setoff and charge from time to time any amount so due against any or all of the applicable Guarantor’s accounts or deposits
with the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.


 


19.             
Indemnification and Survival.  Without limitation on any other obligations of the Guarantors or remedies of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Guaranty, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify,
defend and save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any Lender from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all
damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and the allocated cost and disbursements
of internal legal counsel) that may be suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with or as
a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable
against the Borrower in accordance with their terms. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination
of this Guaranty.


 






    6


     


    

 


20.             
Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) it is duly organized and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full capacity and right to make and perform this Guaranty,
and all necessary authority has been obtained; (b) this Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable

no material adverse change in the financial condition or operational results of the Guarantor.


 


21.             
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; FINAL AGREEMENT. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH GUARANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT EACH WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY. THIS GUARANTY

liability of any Guarantor hereunder exceed the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, plus payment of interest accruing on the guaranteed
indebtedness, and fees, charges and costs of collecting the guaranteed indebtedness, including reasonable attorneys' fees. Further
this Guaranty shall terminate on the Maturity Date; provided, however, the termination of this Guaranty on said date
