The Borrower shall have applied, or made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to apply upon receipt
thereof and in any event no later than the date of such receipt (which date of such receipt shall be the effective date hereunder, provided

CMBS Secured Indebtedness within fifteen (15) days of the date of receipt of the Net Proceeds of the Permitted 2021 HY Debt. A breach
of this Section 4 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Amended Credit Agreement.


 


5.                 
Representations and Warranties. The Borrower and the Parent Guarantor each hereby certifies that: (a) no Default or
Event of Default exists as of the date hereof or would exist immediately, in each case, after giving effect to this Amendment; (b) the
representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party
is a party are true and correct in all material respects (unless any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality, in
which event such representation and warranty is true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that
such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties were
true and correct in all material respects (unless any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality, in which event such
representation and warranty was true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances
permitted under the Loan Documents; (c) no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration or filing with, any third
party (other than any required filing with the SEC, which the Borrower agrees to file in a timely manner or filings or recordations required
in connection with the perfection of any Lien on the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent) is required in connection with the
execution, delivery and carrying out of this Amendment or, if required, has been obtained; and (d) this Amendment has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered so that it constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting the rights
of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies for the enforcement of certain obligations contained herein and as may
be limited by equitable principles generally. The Borrower and the Parent Guarantor each confirms that the Obligations remain outstanding
without defense, set off, counterclaim, discount or charge of any kind as of the date of this Amendment. Except as expressly provided
herein, this Amendment shall not constitute an amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any provision of any Loan Document,
a waiver of any default or Event of Default under any Loan Document, or a waiver or release of any of the Lenders’ or the Administrative
Agent's rights and remedies (all of which are hereby reserved).


 


6.                 
Intentionally Omitted.


 


7.                  Ratification.
Without in any way establishing a course of dealing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor
and each Subsidiary Guarantor each hereby reaffirms and confirms its obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Guaranty
(solely with respect to the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors) and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and
each and every such Loan Document executed by the undersigned in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement remains in full force
and effect and is hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed. This Amendment is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation.
All references to the Existing Credit Agreement contained in the above-referenced documents shall be a reference to the Amended
Credit Agreement and as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified.

(ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required

and 12-month tenor settings will be June 30, 2023. No successor administrator for IBA was identified in such Announcements. As a
result, it is possible that commencing immediately after such dates, the London interbank offered rate for such tenors may no longer
be available or may no longer be deemed a representative reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Rate
Loans or Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of Base Rate). There is no assurance that the
dates set forth in the Announcements will not change or that IBA or the FCA will not take further action that could impact the
availability, composition or characteristics of any London interbank offered rate. Public and private sector industry initiatives
have been and continue, as of the date hereof, to be underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of
the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate or any other then-current Benchmark is no
longer available or in certain other circumstances set forth in Exhibit M, such Exhibit M provides a mechanism for
determining an alternative rate of interest. Administrative Agent will notify Borrower, pursuant to Exhibit M, of any change to
the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (c)
of the definition of Base Rate) is based. However, Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall
not have any liability with respect to: (i) the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the
London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any alternative, comparable
or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement),
including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate (including any
Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Exhibit M, will be similar to, or produce the same value
or economic equivalence of, LIBOR or any other Benchmark, or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered
rate or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability; or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

Divisions.


 


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 Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person
comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders
of its Equity Interests at such time.

Section 2.1          
Revolving Credit Loans.


 


(a)              
Making of Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including Section 2.15,
each Revolving Credit Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower during
the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount
at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Each borrowing
of Revolving Credit Loans hereunder shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess
of that amount (except that, subject to Section 2.15, any such borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans may be in an aggregate
amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders minus (y)
the sum of the aggregate principal balance of all Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities). Within
the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving
Credit Loans.


 


(b)              
Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day of a borrowing of Revolving Credit
Loans that are Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans, and not later than 1:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior
to a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Loans (other than LIBOR Daily Loans), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans to be
borrowed, the date such Revolving Credit Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day), the use of the proceeds of such Revolving
Credit Loans, the Type of the requested Revolving Credit Loans, and if such Revolving Credit Loans are to be LIBOR Loans (other than LIBOR
Daily Loans), the initial Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and
binding on the Borrower (unless such notice provides that such request is contingent on the consummation of a transaction, in which case,
such notice shall be revocable to the extent the transaction is not consummated on the date such borrowing is requested to be made, provided
that the Borrower pays to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders any funding or “breakage” charges incurred in connection
with such Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof). Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower may
(without specifying whether a Revolving Credit Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide
the Borrower with the most recent LIBOR available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate
to the Borrower on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter.


 


(c)               Funding
of Revolving Credit Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b),
the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall
deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender to the Borrower with the
Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of such proposed
Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans, and not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of such
proposed Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Loans (other than LIBOR Daily Loans). Subject to fulfillment of all applicable
conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower in the account specified in the
Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that
are Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans and not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Credit
Loans that are LIBOR Loans (other than LIBOR Daily Loans), the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent. No
Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan or
to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Revolving Credit Lender hereunder, and the failure of any
Revolving Credit Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder
shall not relieve the obligation of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan or to perform any other
obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.


 


(d)              
Assumptions Regarding Funding by Revolving Credit Lenders. With respect to Revolving Credit Loans to be made after the Effective
Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Credit Lender that such Revolving Credit Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent a Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender in connection with any borrowing,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative
Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan to be provided by such Revolving Credit Lender. In
such event, if such Revolving Credit Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Credit
Loan, then such Revolving Credit Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such
Revolving Credit Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Credit Loan is made available to
the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Revolving
Credit Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the
Type of Revolving Credit Loan elected by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Revolving Credit Lender shall
pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or 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 Revolving Credit Lender pays to the Administrative
Agent the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit
Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Revolving
Credit Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender.

Section 2.2          
Term Loans.


 


(a)               Making
of Term Loans.  Prior to the Effective Date, certain “Tranche A-1 Term Loans” and “Tranche A-2 Term
Loans” were made to the Borrower under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement (such outstanding “Tranche
A-1 Term Loans” being hereinafter referred to as the “Existing Tranche A-1 Term Loans” and such
outstanding “Tranche A-2 Term Loans” being hereinafter referred to as the “Existing Tranche A-2 Term
Loans”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower and each of the Lenders agree that
on the Effective Date but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, the Existing
Tranche A-1 Term Loans and the Existing Tranche A-2 Term Loans shall be reevidenced as Tranche A-1 Term Loans and Tranche A-2 Term
Loans under this Agreement. Amounts of any Term Loan (including any Additional Term Loan Advances or New Term Loans) that are repaid
may not be re-borrowed.


 


(b)              
Obligation of Term Loan Lenders. No Term Loan Lender (which for purposes of this subsection (b) shall include (if and as
applicable) each Additional Term Loan Lender or New Term Loan Lender) shall be responsible for the failure of any other Term Loan Lender
to advance its portion of the applicable Term Loan (which, for purposes of this subsection (b) shall include (if and as applicable) each
Additional Term Loan Advance, and each New Term Loan) or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Term Loan
Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Term Loan Lender to advance its portion of the applicable Term Loan or to perform any other obligation
to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Term Loan Lender to advance its portion of such
Term Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.


 


Section 2.3          
Letters of Credit.


 


(a)              
Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.15
and Section 3.9(c), each Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders, agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower
during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date, one or more standby letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) denominated in Dollars up to the maximum aggregate
Letter of Credit Liabilities at any one time outstanding not to exceed $30,000,000, as such amount may be reduced from time to time in
accordance with the terms hereof (the “L/C Commitment Amount”); provided that, unless such Issuing Bank shall
otherwise consent thereto, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue Letters of Credit hereunder having a maximum aggregate Stated Amount
in excess of the lesser of (i) such Issuing Bank’s pro rata share of the L/C Commitment Amount (which amount is $15,000,000 for
each Issuing Bank as of the Effective Date) at any one time outstanding and (ii) (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Issuing Bank
in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender, minus (B) the sum of (x) the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank, plus (y) such Issuing Bank’s participation interest under this Section 2.3 in each Letter of Credit issued
by any other Issuing Bank, minus (C) the sum of (x) all outstanding Swingline Loans made by such Issuing Bank in its capacity as
a Swingline Lender, if applicable, plus (y) if such Issuing Bank is not a Swingline Lender, its participation interest under this
Section 2.3 in all outstanding Swingline Loans.


 


(b)               Terms
of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or
acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the applicable Issuing Bank in accordance with its customary standards
therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond not more
than one (1) year beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, or (ii) any Letter of Credit have an initial duration in excess of
one year; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the
expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the applicable Issuing Bank but in no event shall any such provision
permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the date that is not more than one (1) year beyond the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date, provided, further, however, that in the case of any Letter of Credit that, either when
initially issued or when renewed, has an expiration date beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower shall be obligated
to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.14(a). The initial Stated Amount of each Letter
of Credit shall be at least $100,000 (or such lesser amount as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Issuing Bank).


 






     - 67 -


     


    

 


(c)               Requests
for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent written
notice at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and
such Issuing Bank) prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the
proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of
Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) initial Stated Amount,
(ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date. The Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and
agreements for standby letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by such Issuing Bank. Provided the Borrower
has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and delivered such applications and agreements referred to
in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2, such Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the
requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no event prior to the date five (5) Business
Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank) following the date
after which such Issuing Bank has received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection. No Issuing Bank
shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank,
Administrative Agent or any Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and
derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of
Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of the Borrower, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly
deliver to the Borrower a copy of (i) any Letter of Credit proposed to be issued hereunder prior to the issuance thereof and
(ii) each issued Letter of Credit after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document
(excluding any certificate or other document presented by a beneficiary in connection with a drawing under such Letter of Credit) is
inconsistent with the terms and provisions of any Loan Document, the terms and provisions of such Loan Document shall control. The
Borrower shall examine the copy of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit that is delivered to it by the
applicable Issuing Bank and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other
irregularity, the Borrower will promptly (but in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the later of (x) receipt by the
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit of the original of, or amendment to, such Letter of Credit, as applicable and (y) receipt by
the Borrower of a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment, as applicable) notify such Issuing Bank. The Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is
given as aforesaid.


 


(d)              
Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any
demand for payment under such Letter of Credit (a “Drawing”) and such Issuing Bank’s determination that such
demand for payment complies with the requirements of such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by such Issuing Bank as a result of such Drawing and the date on which payment is to be
made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such Drawing; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank’s failure
to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation.
The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Base Rate Loan
as provided for in subsection (e) below or with funds from other sources) such Issuing Bank for the amount of each Drawing at or prior
to the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or
other formalities of any kind (other than the notice provided for in the first sentence of this subsection (d).


 


(e)              
Manner of Reimbursement. Unless the Borrower shall notify the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent on the
day that such Issuing Bank provides notice of the Drawing on the Letter of Credit as provided in subsection (d) above that the Borrower
intends to reimburse such Issuing Bank for such Drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given
a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Revolving Credit Lenders make a Base Rate Loan in the amount of
(a) such Drawing and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.5(c) incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with such payment,
and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall make a Base Rate Loan in such amount in accordance with subsection (j) below, the proceeds of which
shall be applied to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of such Drawing and costs and expenses.


 


(f)               
Effect of Letters of Credit on Revolving Credit Commitments. Upon the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit
and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender
shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Revolving Credit
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus
(B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.


 






     - 68 -


     


    

 


(g)               Each
Issuing Bank’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining
documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against
such documents, the applicable Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with
examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making
payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of
Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of
any Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations in
respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness
or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing
honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to
transfer or assign any 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; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully
with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, electronic mail, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be
in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication
by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any
consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Lenders.
None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing Banks’ or the Administrative Agent’s
rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of
Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not create against such Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for
any Drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of
subsection (d) above, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation,
the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or
provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit
Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any
Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated
transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or
of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by any Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any
other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a
legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 13.10, but not in limitation
of the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of
Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of
subsection (d) above, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Revolving
Credit Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Credit Lender to
the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such
Revolving Credit Lender (as the case may be) in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in
a final, non-appealable judgment. Nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Credit Lender with respect
to any Letter of Credit.


 






     - 69 -


     


    

 


(h)              
Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the applicable Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter
of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including,
without limitation, that the request therefor be made through such Issuing Bank), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification
shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it
originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Administrative Agent and Requisite Revolving
Credit Lenders shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall
pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.5(c).


 


(i)                 Revolving
Credit Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of
Credit each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from
such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Credit
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the liability of such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit
and each Revolving Credit Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as
surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Revolving Credit
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Issuing Bank’s liability under such Letter of Credit for which
such Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower through a Base Rate Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Credit Lender to the Administrative Agent for the
account of any Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such
Revolving Credit Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent
or such Revolving Credit Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation
owing to such Issuing Bank by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal
to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the
Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to such Issuing Bank pursuant to the last two
sentences of Section 3.5(c)). Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement
Obligation, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Revolving Credit Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the
second sentence of this subsection (i), such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such
payment.


 


(j)                
Payment Obligation of Revolving Credit Lenders. Each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand or upon notice in accordance with subsection (e) above, in immediately
available funds in Dollars the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of each Drawing paid
by such Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to subsection (d);
provided, however, that in respect of any Drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Revolving Credit Lender
shall be required to fund, whether as a Base Rate Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage of such Drawing. If the notice referenced in the second sentence of subsection (e) above is received by a
Revolving Credit Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., then such Revolving Credit Lender shall make such payment available to the Administrative
Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make such payments to
the Administrative Agent under this subsection, whether as a Base Rate Loan or as a participation, and the Administrative Agent’s
right to receive the same for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not
be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Revolving Credit
Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Non-Loan
Party BB Property Subsidiary, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in
Section 11.1(e) or (f), or (iv) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Each such payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.


 


(k)

Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly deliver the same to each Revolving Credit Lender and the
Borrower, a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time. Upon the request of any Revolving
Credit Lender from time to time, such Issuing Bank shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect
to each Letter of Credit then outstanding. Other than as set forth in this subsection, no Issuing Bank shall have any duty to notify the
Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of any Issuing Bank to perform
its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Revolving Credit Lender from its obligations under the immediately preceding
subsection (j).

Section 2.4          
Swingline Loans.


 


(a)               Swingline
Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, Sections 2.15 and 3.9(c), each
Swingline Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower, during the period from the Effective Date
to but excluding the Swingline Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding,
$40,000,000 (the “Swingline Sublimit”), as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the
terms hereof; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be obligated to make Swingline Loans in an aggregate outstanding
principal amount in excess of the lesser of (i) one-half of the Swingline Sublimit and (ii) an amount equal to (x) the Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder, minus (y) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans made by such Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender
hereunder and such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest under Section 2.3 in all Letters of Credit hereunder
(such lesser amount being such Swingline Lender’s “Swingline Availability”). If at any time the aggregate
Outstanding Amounts of the Swingline Loans exceeds the aggregate Swingline Commitments in effect at such time or the aggregate
principal amount of Swingline Loans made by any Swingline Lender shall exceed such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Availability,
the Borrower shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender the amount of such
excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans
hereunder.


 


(b)              
Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable Swingline Lender
notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan. Each Notice of Swingline
Borrowing shall be delivered to such Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. on the proposed date
of such borrowing. Any telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing and
shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent to such Swingline Lender and the
Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication on the same day of the giving of such telephonic
notice. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the requested Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender will make the proceeds
of such Swingline Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office in Dollars in immediately available funds, for the
account of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall, subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6.2
for such borrowing, make the amount so received available to the Borrower on such date by depositing the same in Dollars in immediately
available funds, in an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.


 


(c)              
Interest. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time
plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or at such other rate or rates as the Borrower and the applicable
Swingline Lender may agree from time to time in writing. Interest on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the applicable Swingline
Lender (except to the extent a Revolving Credit Lender acquires a participating interest in a Swingline Loan pursuant to the immediately
following subsection (e)). All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided
in Section 2.5 with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the applicable Swingline Lender and the Borrower may
otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender).


 


(d)              
 Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc. Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of
$500,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the applicable Swingline Lender and the Borrower. Any voluntary
prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $500,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline
Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the applicable Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree) and, in connection with any
such prepayment, the Borrower must give such Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof not later than
one (1) Business Day prior to such prepayment and not later than three (3) Business Days following the advance of such Swingline Loan.
The Swingline Loans owing to a Swingline Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by a Swingline Note in favor of such
Swingline Lender.


 






     - 71 -


     


    

 


(e)               Repayment
and Participations of Swingline Loans. The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within five (5) Business Days after the
date such Swingline Loan was made (or, if earlier, the date on which any Revolving Credit Loan shall be made following the date such
Swingline Loan shall be made); provided, that the proceeds of a Swingline Loan may not be used to pay a Swingline Loan. Any
Swingline Lender making demand for repayment of a Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent
of such demand on the date such demand is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding
principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Maturity Date. Unless the Borrower
has repaid a Swingline Loan within three (3) Business Days of the date on which such Swingline Loan was advanced, the Borrower
hereby irrevocably directs the applicable Swingline Lender (for and on behalf of the Borrower), and each such Swingline Lender
hereby agrees, to request on such third (3rd) Business Day (or the following Business Day) a borrowing of Base Rate Loans
from the Revolving Credit Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations
contained in the second sentence of Section 2.1(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans made pursuant to
this subsection. Such Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Base Rate Loans not
later than 11:00 a.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Not later than
11:00 a.m. on the proposed date of such borrowing, each Revolving Credit Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent
at the Principal Office for the account of such Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Base Rate Loan
to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Base Rate Loans to such
Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. If the Revolving Credit Lenders are prohibited from
making Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence of
any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1(e) or (f), each Revolving Credit Lender shall
purchase from the applicable Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent
of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a
participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds. A Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to purchase such a
participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including, without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving
Credit Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any other Person
whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, any of the
Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1(e) or (f)), or the termination of any Revolving Credit
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had
or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to such Swingline Lender by any Revolving Credit Lender, such
Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender, together with accrued
interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Revolving Credit Lender does not
pay such amount forthwith upon such Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Revolving Credit Lender
makes the required payment, such Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of
such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other
Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have
assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder,
to such Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Revolving Credit
Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment
or otherwise).


 


Section 2.5          
Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.


 


(a)              
Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and
including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:


 


(i)                
during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin
for Base Rate Loans;


 


(ii)             
during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan (other than a LIBOR Daily Loan), at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period
therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans, and


 


(iii)           
during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Daily Loan, at the LIBOR Market Index Rate, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(a) automatically upon any Event of Default under Section 11.1(a), (e) or (f), or (b) at the option of the
Requisite Lenders (upon notice to the Borrower) while any other Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on
the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable
by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank (including,
without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).


 






     - 72 -


     


    

 



 


(b)              
Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly
in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar month occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) on
any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise).
Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent
of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.


 


(c)              
Borrower Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate
for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial
ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”).
If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including, without limitation,
because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the
applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely
provided, then such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation,
and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within ten
(10) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive
the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing
Bank’s, or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.


 


(d)              
Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
LIBOR and any Benchmark Replacement shall be subject to replacement in accordance with the terms and conditions of Exhibit M.


 


Section 2.6          
Number of Interest Periods.


 


There may be no more than
(a) seven (7) different Interest Periods for Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Loans outstanding at the same time during any time
when no Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Daily Loans are outstanding (or six (6) different Interest Periods during any time when
a LIBOR Daily Loan which is a Revolving Credit Loan is outstanding) or (b) four (4) different Interest Periods with respect to each Term
Loan for the LIBOR Loans comprising such Term Loan outstanding at the same time during any time when there are no LIBOR Daily Loans comprising
such Term Loan that are outstanding (or three (3) different Interest Periods during any time when there is a LIBOR Daily Loan comprising
such Term Loan that is outstanding).

be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness
of other credit facilities or the successful closing of a disposition or acquisition or other event, in which case such notice may be
revoked by the Borrower if such condition is not satisfied, provided that the Borrower pays to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
any “breakage” charges incurred in connection with such notice in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof.

Mandatory.

Revolving Credit Commitment Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and
Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit
Lenders then holding Revolving Credit Commitments (or if the Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated, then holding outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities), the amount of such excess. All payments under this subsection (b)(i)

Lender a written plan to eliminate such excess. If such excess is not eliminated within fifteen (15) days of the Borrower obtaining
knowledge of the occurrence thereof, then (unless otherwise approved by the Requisite Lenders) the entire Outstanding
Amount of all Loans, together with all accrued interest thereon, and an amount equal to all Letter of Credit Liabilities for deposit into
the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, shall be immediately due and payable in full. All payments under this subsection (b)(ii)
shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.5(b).

the Borrower shall confirm to the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has a reasonable expectation to reinvest such Net Proceeds from
such Insurance and Condemnation Event in the restoration or rebuilding of the applicable affected asset; provided, that any Net
Proceeds of such Insurance and Condemnation Event received in excess of the costs of such restoration or replacement shall be applied

(D)            
 Prepayment Waterfall. Each prepayment under this Section 2.8(b)(iv)
shall be applied in the manner set forth in the Prepayment Waterfall; provided, however, that:


 


(I)       the
Borrower shall be permitted to apply all or any part of the Net
Proceeds of any prepayment event under this Section 2.8(b)(iv) as a repayment of Qualified Earlier Maturing Indebtedness in lieu
of making such application pursuant to the Prepayment Waterfall;
and


 


(II)       to
the extent that any prepayment made in reliance on clause (I) is not applied (or permitted to be applied) to the 2022 CMBS Secured Indebtedness,
such prepayment shall be applied to the Qualified Earlier Maturing Indebtedness in direct order of maturity (it being understood for this
purpose that the amount of any scheduled debt amortization payments shall be treated as debt maturing on the date such amortization payment
is due).


 


To extent that the
Borrower does not apply such Net Proceeds to the payment of Qualified Earlier Maturing Indebtedness or
otherwise in accordance with this clause (D), such unapplied Net Proceeds shall be applied to the principal prepayment of the
Pari Passu Bank Debt and the Facilities in the manner set forth
in the Prepayment Waterfall.


 


As used herein, “Qualified
Earlier Maturing Indebtedness” shall mean (i) solely in the case of Net Proceeds of an Equity Issuance or a Debt Issuance, the

Term Loan Maturity Date or (Y) includes scheduled amortization payments that are required prior to the Tranche A-2 Term Loan Maturity
Date; provided that in the case of this clause (Y), such Indebtedness shall only constitute Qualified Earlier Maturing Indebtedness
to the extent of the amount of such scheduled amortization payments that are required prior to Tranche A-2 Term Loan Maturity Date..


 


(v)              
Repayment of LIBOR Loans. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(iii) or (iv) shall be accompanied
by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.4; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of LIBOR Loans is required to be made under Section 2.8(b)(iii) or (iv)
prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(iii) or (iv),
as applicable, in respect of any such LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole
discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest
to the last day of such Interest Period into an account held at, and subject to the sole control of, the Administrative Agent until the
last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action
by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with
Section 2.8(b)(iii) or (iv), as applicable. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event
of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Company or any other

Section 2.9          
Continuation.


 


So long as no Default or Event
of Default exists, (i) the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan (other than a LIBOR Daily Loan), elect to
maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and (ii) any LIBOR
Daily Loans shall automatically continue as a LIBOR Daily Loan until such time as the Borrower converts such LIBOR Daily Loan to a different
Type in accordance with Section 2.10. Each Continuation of a LIBOR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000
and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall
commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower
giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third (3rd) Business Day

similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the
LIBOR Loan and portion thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall
be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation
shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period
for any LIBOR Loan (other than a LIBOR Daily Loan) in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day
of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however that
if a Default or Event of Default exists, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert
into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.10 or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any
of the terms of such Section.

Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one
Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a LIBOR Loan if a Default or
Event of Default exists. Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000
and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan (other than a LIBOR Daily Loan) into a
Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each such Notice of Conversion
shall be given not later than (i) 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR

(2) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of
Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified
above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a
Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted,
(c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and
(e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan (other than a LIBOR Daily Loan), the requested duration of the Interest Period of
such Loan. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.


 


Section 2.11      
Notes.


 


(a)              
Notes. In the case of each Revolving Credit Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it elects

also be evidenced at the request of such Lender by a Revolving Credit Note, payable to the order of such Revolving Credit Lender in a
principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed. The Swingline
Loans made by any Swingline Lender to the Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced at the request of such Swingline
Lender by a Swingline Note payable to the order of such Swingline Lender. In the case of each Term Loan Lender that has notified the Administrative

Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such
entries shall be binding on the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that (i) the failure of a Lender to make any
such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) if there is a discrepancy between
such records of a Lender and the statements of accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.8, in
the absence of manifest error, the statements of account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.8 shall
be controlling.

shall not be less than $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable
once given (unless such notice states that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the successful closing

provided that the Borrower pays to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders any “breakage” charges incurred in connection
with such notice in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof) and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent (“Commitment
Reduction Notice”); provided, however, the Borrower may not reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments
below $100,000,000 unless the Borrower is terminating the Revolving Credit Commitments in full. Promptly after receipt of a Commitment
Reduction Notice the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the proposed termination or commitment reduction.
Without limitation of the provisions of Section 2.16, the Revolving Credit Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant
to this Section, may not be increased or reinstated. In the case of a termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower
shall pay all interest on the Revolving Credit Loans and all fees, if any, accrued to the date of such termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders. In the case of any reduction or termination of
the Revolving Credit Commitments resulting in a repayment of the Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.8(b)

to Extend (Revolver) and as of the initial Revolving Credit Maturity
Date, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Borrower shall so certify in writing;


 


(c)              
All representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such

in which event such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of receipt by the Administrative
Agent of written notice of the Borrower’s request to exercise the Option to Extend (Revolver)
and as of the initial Revolving Credit Maturity Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date, except
to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations
and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality,
in which event such representation and warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and
except for changes in factual circumstances permitted under the Loan Documents, and the Borrower shall so certify in writing;

(a)              
If a Letter of Credit, either when initially issued or when renewed, has an expiration date that is later than the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date, the Borrower shall, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, pay to
the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank, an amount of
money sufficient to cause the balance of available funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to equal the Stated Amount
of such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.


 


(b)              
If on the date the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence
of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to
the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank, an amount of

Section 2.16

The Borrower shall have the right to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments, to request
Additional Term Loan Advances in respect of any Term Loan Facility (or both) existing as of the Agreement Date or to request the making
of New Term Loans in the form of a new tranche, in each case, by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any such increases, Additional Term Loan Advances and/or New Term Loans, (i) the aggregate
amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed $750,000,000, (ii) the Outstanding Amount of the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Facility

(iv) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all New Term Loan Facilities shall not exceed $475,000,000. Any New Term Loan Facility shall

Date), the amortization schedule, prepayment premiums, fees and other economic terms, which shall be determined by the Borrower and the
New Term Loan Lenders) or subject to such other terms and conditions that are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
Each such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional Term Loan Advances or New Term Loans must be an aggregate minimum
amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Arrangers, in consultation with the Borrower, shall
manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional Term Loan Advances or New Term
Loans, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional
lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional
Term Loan Advances or New Term Loans among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, participation in all or any portion of such increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional Term
Loan Advances or New Term Loans shall be offered by the Arrangers to any existing Lender in the applicable Facility selected by the Borrower
or to any other bank, financial institution or other institutional lender selected by the Borrower, subject to the approval of the Administrative
Agent to the extent set forth in clause (w) of subsection (d) below. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its
Revolving Credit Commitment, make Additional Term Loan Advances or make any New Term Loans, as applicable, and any new Lender becoming
a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase or new facility must be an Eligible Assignee.

(b)              
If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement as a Revolving Credit Lender, or if any existing Revolving Credit Lender is increasing
its Revolving Credit Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder or, in the case of an existing
Revolving Credit Lender, increases its Revolving Credit Commitment (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Revolving Credit
Lenders its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Revolving Credit Lenders’ relative Revolving
Credit Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Credit Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans,
by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Revolving Credit Lenders, in immediately available funds,

plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Revolving Credit Lenders under Section 2.3(j) that
have not been repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the Outstanding Amount of such
Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Credit Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Credit Lenders
under Section 5.4 as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Credit Loans.

If pursuant to this Section 2.16 one or more Additional Term Loan Lenders shall agree to make an applicable Additional
Term Loan Advance, or one or more New Term Loan Lenders shall agree to make available a New Term Loan Facility, such Additional Term Loan
Advance or New Term Loan Facility shall be made on a date agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Term
Loan Lender or New Term Loan Lender, as applicable, in accordance with the following conditions and procedures:

then outstanding and such Additional Term Loan Advance shall be combined so that all applicable Term Loan Lenders (including such
Additional Term Loan Lender) hold pro rata amounts of each portion of such Term Loan (including such Additional Term Loan Advance) of
each Type and Interest Period. Each such Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion and Notice of Continuation shall specify the Type

as applicable), is to be a LIBOR Loan (other than a LIBOR Daily Loan), the Interest Period therefor, all in accordance with the provisions
of the immediately preceding sentence. Such notices shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower (unless such notice provides
that such request is contingent on the consummation of a transaction, in which case, such notice shall be revocable to the extent the
transaction is not consummated on the date such borrowing is requested to be made, provided that the Borrower pays to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders any funding or “breakage” charges incurred in connection with such notice in accordance with Section 5.4

on the effective date of such increase or new term loans with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date, except to
the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and

Payments by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other
amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately
available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (excluding Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.10),
to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due
(each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject
to Section 11.5, the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify
to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received
by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer
of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time
to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent
for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be paid to such Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately
available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time to time,
for the account of such Issuing Bank. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender or such Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, on the Business Day of receipt of such amounts if received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. on such day or,
if received by the Administrative Agent later than 11:00 a.m., then within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative
Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If
the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day
such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable
to such payment for the period of such extension.


 


(b)              
Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrower. 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 any Issuing Bank 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 (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders
or such Issuing Bank, 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 such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount
so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed
to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Credit Loans shall not be held by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments

Section 3.3          
Sharing of Payments, Etc.


 


If a Lender shall obtain payment
of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower
or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise
or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to
a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 11.5, as applicable,
such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders’ participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender,
direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such
other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net
of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the
requirements of Section 3.2 or Section 11.5, as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate
adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such
other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any
Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such
right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 3.4          
Several Obligations.


 


No Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder,
and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve
the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.


 


Section 3.5          
Fees.


 


(a)              
Closing Fee. On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees
as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and Arrangers. On the First Amendment Effective Date, the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender which executes and delivers the First Amendment on
the First Amendment Effective Date, an amendment fee in an amount equal to (i) seven and one-half basis points (0.075%) multiplied
by (ii) the sum of (x) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment plus (y) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans
held by such Lender.


 


(b)              
Facility Fees.


 


(i)                
During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of (x) the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date and (y)
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders
an unused facility fee equal to the sum of the daily amount by which the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds
the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities set forth in the table below multiplied
by the corresponding per annum rate:


 


	Amount by Which Revolving Credit Commitments Exceed Revolving Credit Loans and 

Letter of Credit Liabilities	Unused Fee
	$0 to and including an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments	0.20%
	Greater than an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments	0.25%


 


Such fee shall be computed on a daily
basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement and
on the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or reduction of
the Revolving Credit Commitments to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating an unused facility fee, the Outstanding
Amount of the Swingline Loans shall not be factored into the computation.

(iii)           
 From and after the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Revolving Credit Lenders a facility fee equal to the average daily aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (whether
or not utilized) multiplied by the corresponding per annum rate equal to the Applicable Facility Fee. Such fee shall be computed on a
daily basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement
and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or reduction of the Revolving
Credit Commitments to zero. The Borrower acknowledges that the fees payable hereunder are bona fide commitment fees and are intended as
reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to the Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes.


 


(c)              
Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender
a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Loans times the daily
average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) to
and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn
in full. The fee provided for in the immediately preceding sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable in arrears (i) quarterly on
the first day of each January, April, July and October, (ii) on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (iii) on the date the Revolving
Credit Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent.
In addition to such fee, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Issuing Bank solely for its own account prior to the issuance of each
Letter of Credit, a nonrefundable fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit at a per annum rate agreed between the Borrower and
such Issuing Bank of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall pay directly to such Issuing Bank from time to time
on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by such Issuing Bank from time to time in like
circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, and any drawings, amendments, renewals, extensions or other transactions
relating thereto.


 


(d)             
Extension Fee. If the Borrower exercises its right to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.13,
the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a fee equal to fifteen hundredths
of one percent (0.15%) of the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (whether or not utilized).


 


(e)             
Administrative and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Administrative Agent
as provided in the Fee Letters and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.


 


Section 3.6          
Computations.

set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year

Section 3.7          
Usury.


 


In no event shall the amount
of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any
such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment
of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned
to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly,
in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto
hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and
shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.5(a)(i) and (ii) and, with respect to Swingline Loans, in Section 2.4(c).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing
fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost
charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties
or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or
administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other
than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.


 


Section 3.8          
Statements of Account.


 


The Administrative Agent will
account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest, charges and payments (other than Fees) made pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and quarterly with a statement of Fees paid pursuant to this Agreement, and such account rendered
by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent
to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.


 


Section 3.9          
Defaulting Lenders.


 


Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer
a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:


 


(a)              
Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with
respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders and in Section 13.7.

(b)               Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI or otherwise) or received by
the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may
be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to
the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender
to any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize any Issuing Bank’s Fronting
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; fourth, as the Borrower may
request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender
has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so
determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
(x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and
(y) Cash Collateralize any Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to
future applicable Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations
under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided
that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.3(j)
in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at
a time when the conditions set forth in Article VI were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the
Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any
Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations
in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their
respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately following
subsection (d)). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held)
to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and
redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.


 


(c)              
Certain Fees.


 


(i)                 During
the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date, no Defaulting Lender shall be
entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5(b)(i) or Section 3.5(b)(ii) for any period during
which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been
required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). From and after the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date, each Defaulting
Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5(b)(iii) for any period during which that Lender is
a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans
funded by it, and (2) its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has
provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).


 






    - 99 -


     


    

 


(ii)             
Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5(c) for any period during which
that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of
Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).


 


(iii)           
With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i)
or (ii), the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee (other than pursuant to Section 3.5(b)(ii))
otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities
or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d),
(y) pay to the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable
to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or such Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such
Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.


 


(d)              
Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation
in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but
only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than Section 6.2(c) or (e)) are satisfied
at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does
not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 13.22, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of
any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Credit Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including
any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.


 


(e)              
Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.


 


(i)                
If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected,
the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline
Loans in an amount equal to the applicable Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the applicable
Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.


 






    - 100 -


     


    

 


(ii)             
At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within two (2) Business Days following the written request of the Administrative
Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such Issuing Bank’s
Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)
and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of such Issuing
Bank with respect to the applicable Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.


 


(iii)           
The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral
as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied
pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject
to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount
of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to the applicable Letters of Credit
issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative
Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided
by the Defaulting Lender).


 


(iv)            
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in
respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in
respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such
obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided
for herein.


 


(v)              
Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the applicable Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall
no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting
Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Revolving Credit Lender), or (y) the determination
by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately
preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and such Issuing Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that
Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to
the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest
granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(f)             
 Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in
writing that a Revolving Credit Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon
as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with
respect to any Cash Collateral), that Revolving Credit Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding
Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and
funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance
with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)),
whereupon such Revolving Credit Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively
with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Revolving Credit Lender was a Defaulting Lender;
and provided, further, that, subject to Section 13.22, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Revolving Credit Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim
of any party hereunder arising from that Revolving Credit Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.


 


(g)              
New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swingline
Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect
to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless
it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.


 


(h)               Purchase
of Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower
may, by the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, either
(A) demand that such Defaulting Lender, and upon such demand such Defaulting Lender shall promptly, assign its Revolving Credit
Commitment (if applicable), its Loans and all of its other interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan
Documents to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(b), or (B) terminate
the Revolving Credit Commitment (if applicable) of such Defaulting Lender and notwithstanding Section 3.2 or any other
provision herein to the contrary requiring the pro rata treatment of payments to the Lenders, repay the entire Outstanding Amount of
all Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans (if and as applicable) held by such Defaulting Lender, together with all accrued interest
thereon, whereupon such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a party hereto. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to
initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender
may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(b).
In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect
such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.6(b), shall pay to
the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,500. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall
be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders. In the
event that a Defaulting Lender does not execute an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 13.6(b) within five (5)
Business Days after receipt by such Defaulting Lender of notice under this Section 3.9(h) and presentation to such
Defaulting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption evidencing an assignment pursuant to Section 13.6(b), the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Defaulting
Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Administrative Agent, the Eligible Assignee and the Borrower shall
be effective for purposes of Section 13.6(b).

Section 3.10      
Foreign Lenders; Taxes.


 


(a)              
Issuing Banks. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes each Issuing Bank and the term
 “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.


 


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


 


(c)              
Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any
Other Taxes.


 


(d)              
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient,
within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted
on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted
from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement
are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.


 


(e)               Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for
(i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or another Loan Party has not
already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the
other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.6
relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case,
that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative
Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and
all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender
from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection. The provisions of this subsection
shall continue to inure to the benefit of an Administrative Agent following its resignation or removal as Administrative Agent.


 






    - 103 -


     


    

 


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


 


(g)              
Status of Lenders.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    - 104 -


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(II)             
an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;


 


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


 


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


 






    - 105 -


     


    

 


(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), an electronic
copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis
for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation
as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required
to be made; and


 


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


 


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


 


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

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

IV Borrowing Base Properties


 


Section 4.1          
Eligibility of Properties.


 


(a)              
Initial Borrowing Base Properties. The Properties identified on Schedule 4.1 shall, on the Effective Date, be
the initial Borrowing Base Properties, and the Unencumbered Asset Value initially attributable to such Borrowing Base Properties shall
be as set forth in the Compliance Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date.


 


(b)             
Additional Borrowing Base Properties. If after the Effective Date the Borrower desires that any additional Hotel Property
be included in the Unencumbered Pool, the Borrower shall so designate such Hotel Property as a “Borrowing Base Property” pursuant
to any Compliance Certificate from time to time delivered hereunder. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Compliance
Certificate, such Hotel Property shall be included in the Unencumbered Pool, in which event such Hotel Property shall thereafter constitute
a Borrowing Base Property; provided, however, that the Operating Property Value of such Hotel Property shall not be taken into
account in determining the Unencumbered Asset Value unless and until the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Compliance
Certificate that includes such Hotel Property in the Unencumbered Pool; provided, further, however, that in no event
shall Properties owned by, or subject to a Qualified Ground Lease to, any Excluded FelCor Subsidiary be included in the Unencumbered Pool
so long as such FelCor Subsidiary constitutes an Excluded FelCor Subsidiary. In
connection with any additions to the Unencumbered Pool, Borrower shall deliver, with respect to the direct and indirect owners of such
additional Hotel Properties such additional Subsidiary Guaranties and Pledge Agreements as are otherwise required by the terms of this
Agreement.

[Intentionally Omitted].


 


Section 4.3          
Removal of Properties.


 


The Borrower may, upon not
less than five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent
may agree), request removal of a Hotel Property from the Unencumbered Pool, subject to the following conditions: (a) no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred that is continuing (other than a Default or Event of Default that would be cured by removal of such Hotel
Property from the Unencumbered Pool) or would result therefrom and (b) (i) so long as the Restriction Period is not then continuing, the
Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate, prepared as of the last day of the most recent fiscal
quarter, evidencing compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 10.1 as if such Hotel Property had not been included
in the Unencumbered Pool or (ii) at any time during the Restriction Period, such removal shall only be permitted to the extent that the
request therefor arises in connection with an Asset Disposition permitted pursuant to Section 10.4(v) and the proceeds of
such Asset Disposition are applied in accordance with Section 2.8(b)(iv)(C) or such removal is required to cure a Default or Event
of Default. Upon Administrative Agent’s confirmation that the conditions to such removal have been satisfied, the Administrative
Agent shall so notify (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed more than five (5) Business Days after request therefor) Borrower and
the Lenders in writing specifying the date of such removal.

V Yield Protection, Etc.


 


Section 5.1          
Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.


 


(a)              
Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change affecting such Lender or any lending office of such
Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity ratios or requirements, has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline
Loans held by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for
such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company
with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender, the
Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
for any such reduction suffered.


 


(b)               Additional
Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection (a), the Borrower shall promptly pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary
to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making or
maintaining, continuing or converting of any Loans or its obligation to make, maintain, continue or convert any Loans hereunder, any
reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such
Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital or liquidity in respect of its Loans or its Revolving Credit
Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional
Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:


 






    - 108 - 


     


    

 


(i)        except as provided
in Section 3.10(c), changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Revolving Credit Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described
in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and “Connection Income Taxes” pursuant to Section 3.10(a));


 


(ii)       imposes or
modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities
or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on Loans is determined relating to any extensions
of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of
funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Revolving Credit
Commitments of such Lender hereunder);


 


(iii)      has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have
achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and
liquidity); or


 


(iv)     imposes on
any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans
made by such Lender.


 


(c)         
Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a)
and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess
above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference
to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets
of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities
or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation
of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases
to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5 shall apply).


 






    - 109 - 


     


    

 


(d)         Additional
Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but
without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or
hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified
Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and “Connection Income
Taxes”), reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference
to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to any Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing
participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce
any amount receivable by any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon written demand by
such Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, such
additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in
amount.


 


(e)              
Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender,
as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower (and in the case of an Issuing Bank or a Lender, to notify the Administrative Agent)
of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to compensation under
any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of
the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations
hereunder; provided further, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders shall be entitled to claim
any additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amount under this Article V if such Person fails to provide
such notice to the Borrower within 180 days of the date the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may
be, becomes aware of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional
amount; provided further that, if such occurrence giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The Administrative Agent, each Issuing
Bank and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and, in the case of an Issuing Bank or a Lender, to the Administrative
Agent as well) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section,
provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.1, in the case of any Regulatory
Change described in clauses (x) or (y) of the definition of Regulatory Change, it shall be a condition to a Lender’s exercise of
its rights, if any, under this Section 5.1 that such Lender shall generally be exercising similar rights with respect to borrowers
under similar agreements where available. Determinations by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may
be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.

Section 5.2          
Suspension of LIBOR Loans.


 


Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, subject to the provisions of Exhibit M, if, with respect to any LIBOR Daily Loans, on any day, or, with respect
to any LIBOR Loans (other than LIBOR Daily Loans), on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any Interest Period:


 





(a)              
 the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist
for ascertaining LIBOR as of such day or for such Interest Period;


 


(b)              
the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for
the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities
for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein; or


 


(c)              
the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the relevant
rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such day or
Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for
such day or Interest Period;


 


then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower
and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and
shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, (i) with respect
to any LIBOR Daily Loan, on such day, and (ii) with respect to any LIBOR Loan (other than LIBOR Daily Loans), on the last day of each
current Interest Period for such outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.


 


Section 5.3          
Illegality.


 


Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is
unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the
Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to
Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR
Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5 shall be applicable).


 


Section 5.4          
Compensation.


 


The Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative
Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable
to:


 


(a)              
any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan (other than a LIBOR Daily Loan) or Conversion of a LIBOR
Loan (other than a LIBOR Daily Loan), made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other
than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or


 


(b)               any
failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent
specified in Section 6.2 to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan (other than a LIBOR Daily Loan) from such Lender on the
date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan (other than a LIBOR Daily Loan) or Continue a LIBOR Loan
(other than a LIBOR Daily Loan) on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.


 






    - 111 - 


     


    

 


Not in limitation of the foregoing,
such compensation shall include, without limitation, in the case of any such LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of
(A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable
to such LIBOR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set
on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue
such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date; provided, that
in no event shall such compensation include any loss of anticipated profits. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent
shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method
for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that the determinations
in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.


 


Section 5.5          
Treatment of Affected Loans.


 


If the obligation of any Lender
to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1(c),

circumstances specified in Section 5.1(c) or 5.3 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR
Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to
do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such
Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for
such outstanding LIBOR Loans, or, with respect to LIBOR Daily Loans, on the next Business Day, to the extent necessary so that,

and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.6(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected
Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the Affected Lender under Section 2.3(j) that have not
been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount
as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee, or (B) terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment (if applicable)

such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10, 5.1 or 5.4) with respect
to any period up to the date of replacement.

Section 5.7          
Change of Lending Office.


 


Each Lender agrees that it
will, in good faith, use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an
alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10,
5.1 or 5.3 to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous
to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending
Office located in the United States of America.


 


Section 5.8          
Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.


 


Calculation of all amounts
payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase
of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the
LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period (or, in the case of LIBOR Daily Loans, a maturity of one
month); provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption
shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.

audit adjustments and the inclusion in the final audited statements of footnotes that were not contained in the interim statements). All
financial projections and other forward looking statements prepared by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Non-Loan Party BB Property

faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time made, but with it being understood that such projections and statements

order to make the statements contained therein in light of the circumstances under which they are or will be made, not misleading. As

of the Loan Documents and the Fee Letters by the Loan Parties, and the borrowing, other credit extensions and repayment of amounts thereunder,
do not and will not constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose
of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country,

electronic communications. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications

or notices delivered electronically shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which the Administrative Agent or Borrower posts
such documents or the documents become available on a commercial website and the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of said posting
and provides a link thereto provided if such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during the normal business hours, said

to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents (collectively, “Information Materials”) as containing only
information  that is either available to the public or not material with respect to the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws, as
 “Public Information”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each “public-side” Lender (i.e., any Lender that does not
wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Parent Guarantor or its securities) shall designate to the Administrative
Agent one or more persons who are entitled to receive and view Information Materials containing material non-public information to the
same extent as Lenders that are not “public-side” Lenders.

Section 9.7          
Patriot Act Notice; Compliance.


 


The Patriot Act and federal
regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies
individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, a Lender (for itself
and/or as agent for all Lenders hereunder) may from time to time request, and the Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties,
to provide, promptly upon any such request, to such Lender, such Loan Party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such
other identification information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose
may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan
or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.

Section 11.3      
Intentionally Omitted.


 


Section 11.4      
Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.


 


None of the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Specified Derivatives Provider shall be under any obligation to marshal
any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. To
the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent and/or any Issuing Bank and/or any Lender
and/or any Specified Derivatives Provider or the Administrative Agent and/or any Issuing Bank and/or any Lender and/or any Specified
Derivatives Provider enforce their security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Guaranteed Obligations or part thereof originally intended
to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 11.5      
Allocation of Proceeds.


 


(a)              
Any payment required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(i) shall be applied in the following order
and priority:


 


First, to
payment of interest on Swingline Loans until paid in full;


 


Second, to
payment of interest on all Revolving Credit Loans, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, until paid in full;


 


Third, to
payment of principal on Swingline Loans until paid in full;


 


Fourth, to
payment of principal of all Revolving Credit Loans to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders until paid in
full; and


 


Fifth, to
amounts to be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in respect of Letters of Credit.


 


(b)             
If an Event of Default exists and maturity of any of the Obligations has been accelerated or the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
or either Term Loan Maturity Date has occurred, all payments received by the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents (or
by any Lender as the result of the exercise of rights under Section 13.4), in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations shall
be applied in the following order and priority:


 


First, to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees,
payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, each Issuing Bank in its capacity as such and each Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause payable to them;


 


Second, to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest)
payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause payable to them;


 






    -161- 


     


    

 


Third, to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Swingline Loans;


 


Fourth, to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations,
ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause payable to them;


 


Fifth, to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Swingline Loans;


 


Sixth, to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, other Letter
of Credit Liabilities and payment obligations then owing under Specified Derivatives Contracts, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing
Banks and the Specified Derivatives Providers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause payable to them; provided,
however, to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this clause are attributable to the issued but undrawn
amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit into the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account; and


 


Seventh,
the balance, if any, after all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required
by Applicable Law.


 


(c)              
Any payment required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(iii) shall be applied pro rata among the
Facilities and the aggregate outstanding principal amount under the Pari Passu Bank
Debt to the extent required to reduce the Leverage Ratio to or below 6.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis after taking into account
any additional optional prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.8(a). The aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments will be temporarily
reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the respective amounts of such portion of the mandatory prepayments that were applied to the prepayment
of the Revolving Credit Loans until the next Prepayment Provisions Termination Date; provided, however, that, with respect
to any Net Proceeds from asset sales applied as a prepayment by the Borrower prior to the end of the applicable Reinvestment Period for
such Net Proceeds, the Borrower may apply such Net Proceeds to prepay (including a partial prepayment of) any of the Facilities or the
outstanding principal amount of any Pari Passu Bank Debt in such
manner as it may designate; provided, further, that such temporary reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be
automatically terminated as of such Prepayment Provisions Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any voluntary
or mandatory prepayment has the effect of reducing the Leverage Ratio to or below 6.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis, the mandatory prepayment
provisions applicable following a Collateral Trigger Date shall terminate (the earlier of such date and the Collateral Release Date, the
 “Prepayment Provisions Termination Date”). During a Prepayment Period, the Borrower shall not be permitted to request
any Revolving Credit Loans that would cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments (after accounting for any temporary reductions to availability pursuant to this Section 11.5(c)).


 






    -162- 


     


    

 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Guaranteed Obligations arising under Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative
Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from
the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider. Each Specified Derivatives Provider not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice
contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative
Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XII for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.


 


Section 11.6      
Letter of Credit Collateral Account.


 


(a)             
As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, the Borrower hereby pledges
and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Credit Lenders
as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account established
pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.14 or Section 3.9 (as applicable) and the balances from time to time
in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from
time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied
by the Administrative Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of
Credit Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section, Section 2.14 or Section 3.9
(as applicable).


 


(b)             
Amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not be invested without the consent of the Borrower and shall
only be invested in Cash Equivalents approved by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall
be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders; provided, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds
held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially
equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that
the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with
respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.


 


(c)              
If a Drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower
and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse
the applicable Issuing Bank for the payment made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such Drawing.


 


(d)               If
an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent, if instructed by the Requisite Lenders, shall at any time and from time to
time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account and apply or cause to be applied such proceeds and any other balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to the
payment of any of the Letter of Credit Liabilities due and payable.


 






    -163- 


     


    

 


(e)             
So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time
to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation
whatsoever, such of the balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (excepting amounts deposited pursuant to clause fifth
of Section 3.9(b)) as exceed the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time. When all of the Obligations
shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower,
against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account (excepting amounts deposited pursuant to clause fifth of Section 3.9(b), which shall be applied as provided
in Section 3.9(b)).


 


(f)              
The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for
similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments
and reinvestments of funds therein.


 


Section 11.7      
Rescission of Acceleration by Requisite Lenders.


 


If at any time after acceleration
of the maturity of the Loans and the other Obligations, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of
principal of the Obligations which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other
than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall become
remedied or waived to the satisfaction of the Requisite Lenders, then by written notice to the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders may elect,
in the sole discretion of such Requisite Lenders, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences. The provisions of the preceding
sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and
are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration
hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied.


 


Section 11.8      
Performance by Administrative Agent.


 


If the Borrower or any other
Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may,
after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower or such other
Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the
Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance
to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until
paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever
for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.


 






    -164- 


     


    

 


Section 11.9      
Rights Cumulative.


 


(a)              
Generally. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and
each of the other Loan Documents and of the Specified Derivatives Providers under the Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective
rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers may be selective
and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any of the Issuing Banks, any of the Lenders or any of the Specified Derivatives
Providers in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude
its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.


 


(b)              
Enforcement by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall
be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained
exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article XI for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks;
provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and
remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) any
Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an Issuing
Bank or as a Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Specified Derivatives Provider
from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit under any Specified Derivatives Contract, (iv) any Lender from
exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.4 (subject to the terms of Section 3.3), or (v) any
Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to
any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Article XI and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding
proviso and subject to Section 3.3, any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies
available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent
to authorize or consent to or adopt on behalf of any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition under any Debtor Relief Law affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline
Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of any claim of any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender
in any such proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

ARTICLE
XII The Administrative Agent


 


Section 12.1      
Appointment and Authorization.


 


Each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such
Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to
the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the
benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite
Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the
powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and
binding upon all of the Lenders. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation, each of the Lenders authorizes the
Administrative Agent to enter into one or more intercreditor agreements, collateral agency agreements and Collateral Documents,
including amendments or supplements thereto from time to time, as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its
reasonable discretion with parties to any Pari Passu Debt, including (if applicable) for the purpose of acting as collateral agent
for the Secured Parties and the parties to such Pari Passu Debt (and each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Article
XII shall be deemed to include a reference to the Administrative Agent acting in such capacity, if applicable). Nothing herein
shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent
duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of
the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with
reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising
under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall
deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the
financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX
that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender,
upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or
notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such
other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement
or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any
action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting)
upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this
Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided,
however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take
any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the
Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have
directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever
against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.
The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from the Guaranty (i) in the case of a
Subsidiary Guarantor, upon satisfaction of the conditions to release set forth in Section 8.14 or Section 8.15;
(ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders hereunder, as required under the
circumstances; or (iii) upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.11. In
connection with any such release of a Guarantor pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby
irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents
that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (any execution and delivery of such documents
being without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent).


 






    -166- 


     


    

 


Section 12.2      
Wells Fargo as Lender.


 


Wells Fargo shall have the
same rights and powers as a Lender or as a Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be, under this Agreement and any other Loan
Document and under any Specified Derivatives Contract, as the case may be, as any other Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may each accept
deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial
advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if
it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders or any Specified Derivatives Providers.
Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection
with this Agreement or any Specified Derivatives Contract or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Issuing Banks, the
other Lenders or any Specified Derivatives Providers. The Issuing Banks and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities,
Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates
(including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative
Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.


 


Section 12.3      
Approvals of Lenders.


 


All communications from
the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall
be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to
which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any,
regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, and (c) shall
include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a
summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be
resolved. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation
or determination of the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be
specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed
to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.


 






    -167- 


     


    

 



 


Section 12.4      
Notice of Events of Default.


 


The Administrative Agent shall
not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received
notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default
and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative
Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”;
provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result
in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a
 “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.


 


Section 12.5      
Administrative Agent’s Reliance.


 


Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties
shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
except for its or their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth
herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the
Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, any
Issuing Bank or any other Person or shall be responsible to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement,
warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any
conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property,
books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Bank for the due
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien
in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in any such collateral; (d) shall have any
liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan
Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and
(e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice,
consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be
genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the
Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection
of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

Section 12.6      
Indemnification of Administrative Agent.


 


Regardless of whether
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so)
pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a
 “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable
Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the
extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender
agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of
the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out of pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal
advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the
Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability”
suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative
Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out of pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be
advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative
Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the
Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment
of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the
Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative
Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such
reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 12.7      
Lender Credit Decision, Etc.


 


Each of the Lenders and each
Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations
or warranties to such Issuing Bank or such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of
the affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation
or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Issuing Bank or any Lender. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that
it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective
Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates,
and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the
other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the
advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing
Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to
the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative
Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the
Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation
of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or
other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any
other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.
Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or any
Issuing Bank.

Section 12.8      
Successor Administrative Agent.


 


The Administrative Agent
may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the
Borrower. The Administrative Agent may be removed as Administrative Agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting
as Administrative Agent) and, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower upon thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice if the Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to
have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is
insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or
custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in
any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the
Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall
have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within
thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a
Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee; provided that if the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation
shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the 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 to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until
such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided,
further that such Lenders and such Issuing Bank so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and
other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender or Issuing Bank were
itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any resignation by an Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation as an
Issuing Bank and as a Swingline Lender by the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent (the “Resigning
Lender”), which resignation shall be effective upon the agreement of the Lender that is the successor Administrative Agent
(or another Lender approved by the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) to assume the Swingline Commitment
and the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder and the assumption of the Swingline Commitment and the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank
hereunder by the Lender that is the successor Administrative Agent (or another Lender approved by the Borrower as provided above)
(i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of an Issuing Bank and a Swingline Lender
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the successor applicable Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the Resigning Lender as an Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such succession
(which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other
arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such
Letters of Credit. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article
XII shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative
Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its
rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.


 






    - 171 -


     


    

 


Section 12.9      
Titled Agents.


 


The Syndication Agents and
Documentation Agents, in such respective capacities, assume no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation,
for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to
the Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Syndication
Agents or Documentation Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles
does not impose on the Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or
entitle the Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.


 


Section 12.10  
Specified Derivatives Contracts.


 


No Specified Derivatives Provider
that obtains the benefits of Section 11.5 by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right
to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect
of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify
the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative
Agent has received written notice of such Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative
Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider.


 


Section 12.11  
Rates.


 


The Administrative Agent does
not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other
matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBOR”.

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 Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of
the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:


 


(i)                
such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more
Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans or,
with respect to a Revolving Credit Lender, the Revolving Credit Commitments;


 


(ii)             
the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined

of and performance of the Loans, this Agreement, and, with respect to a Revolving Credit Lender, the Revolving Credit Commitments;


 


(iii)           
(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part

to a Revolving Credit Lender, the Revolving Credit Commitments; 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.


 


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, that, 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 Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit
of the Borrower, that none of the Administrative Agent or any Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with
respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and
performance of the Loans, this Agreement and, with respect to a Revolving Credit Lender, the Revolving Credit Commitments (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);


 






    - 173 -


     


    

 


(b)              
The Administrative Agent and each Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial
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, this Agreement, and, with respect to a Revolving Credit Lender, the Revolving Credit Commitments,
respectively, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, or, with respect to a Revolving Credit Lender, the Revolving Credit

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 fees, agency fees,

Section
12.13   Erroneous
Payments.


 


(a)              
Each Lender, each Issuing Bank, each other Secured Party and any other party hereto
hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such
Lender or Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party (or the Lender Affiliate of a Secured Party) or any other Person that has received
funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or other
Secured Party (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole
discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly
received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment
from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified
in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment,
prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent
by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that
such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each
case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 12.13(a),
whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually
and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge
of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative
Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any
right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect
to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation
waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.


 






    - 174 -


     


    

 


(b)              
Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees
that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.


 


(c)              
In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall
at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person
who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter,
return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in
same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such
Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative
Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.


 


(d)              
In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by
the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause
(c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an
 “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative
Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount
of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the
 “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such
lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted
Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without
further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate
as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Without limitation of its rights hereunder, the Administrative Agent
may cancel any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment at any time by written notice to the applicable assigning Lender and upon such
revocation all of the Loans assigned pursuant to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be reassigned to such
Lender without any requirement for payment or other consideration. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated
in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received
by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 13.6
and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.


 






     - 175 -


     


    

 


(e)              
Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion
thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the
Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized
to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable
or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent
under this Section 12.13 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a
Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction
of any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and
solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the
Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making for a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous
Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof
that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and
effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.


 


(f)               
Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation
or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination
of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.


 


(g)              
Nothing in this Section 12.13 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim
of any party hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

To such Lender’s address

such party in a written notice to the other parties delivered in compliance with this Section; provided, a Lender or an
Issuing Bank shall only be required to give notice of any such other address to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. All such notices
and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the expiration of three (3) days

provided, however, that, in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), non-receipt of any communication
as of the result of any change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery
shall be deemed receipt of such communication. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, all notices or communications to the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender under Article II shall be effective only when actually received. None of the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall incur any liability to any Loan Party (nor shall the Administrative Agent incur
any liability to the Issuing Banks or the Lenders) for acting upon any telephonic notice referred to in this Agreement which the Administrative
Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, believes in good faith to have been given by a Person authorized to deliver
such notice or for otherwise acting in good faith hereunder. Failure of a Person designated to receive a copy of a notice to receive such
copy shall not affect the validity of notice properly given to another Person.

Section 13.4      
Setoff.


 


Subject to Section 3.3
and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Administrative
Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Participant is hereby authorized by the Borrower, at any time or from time to time while
an Event of Default exists, without prior notice to the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower or any other Person, any such notice being hereby

and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of

(iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following
subsection (e) (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted

construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by

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


 


(i)                
Minimum Amounts.


 


(A)            
in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment
and/or the Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Tranche A-2 Term
Loan Lender’s Tranche A-2 Term Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of
an assigning Tranche A-1 Term Loan Lender’s Tranche A-1 Term Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and


 


(B)              in
any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), (1) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment
(which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in
effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, (2) the principal
outstanding balance of the Tranche A-2 Term Loan subject to such assignment, and (3) the principal outstanding balance of the
Tranche A-1 Term Loan subject to such assignment (in each case, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and
Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000 in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment
and $10,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of a Term Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
otherwise consents in its sole discretion; provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of
the Revolving Credit Commitment held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning
Lender, as applicable, would be less than $10,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans or
$10,000,000 in the case of a Term Loan, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment
and the Loans at the time owing to it.


 






     - 183 -


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(A)            
the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed that the Borrower’s
withholding of consent to an assignment that would result in (i) the Borrower’s having to pay amounts under Section 3.10
as a result of the admission of an assignee or (ii) the admission of an assignee that refuses to receive confidential information subject
to the confidentiality requirements set forth herein shall in each case be deemed to be reasonable)) shall be required unless (x) a
Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed 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;


 


(B)             
the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments
in respect of (x) a Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Revolving Credit
Commitment, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender, (y) [intentionally omitted] or (z) a
Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and


 


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


 


(iv)             Assignment
and Acceptance; Notes. 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 $4,500 (or $7,500 in the event that such transferor Lender is a
Defaulting Lender) for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the
assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the
transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that (i) to the extent requested by the assignee or transferor Lender, new Notes are
issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate and (ii) any Notes held by the transferor Lender are promptly
returned to the Borrower for cancellation (and, to the extent not so returned, the Borrower shall be entitled to receive a customary
indemnity agreement of the type described in Section 2.11(c)(ii)(A) from such transferor Lender).


 






     - 184 -


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Subject to acceptance and
recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4, 13.2 and 13.10 and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as provided in Section 13.11 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of
such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a
Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a
Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).


 






     - 185 -


     


    

 


(c)              
Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain
at the Principal 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 Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection
by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


 


(d)               Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to
any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the
primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
 “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the 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 Issuing
Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.4 or as otherwise expressly stated herein,
no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 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 (w) increase
such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (x) extend the date on which any scheduled payment of principal on the Loans
or portions thereof owing to such Lender is to be made, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon (other than a
waiver of default interest and changes in calculation of the Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing) or (z) release
all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as contemplated by Sections 8.14 or 8.15), all or substantially all
of the Covenant Relief Collateral (except as contemplated by Section 8.16) or all or substantially all of the Guarantors
from their obligations under the Guaranty (except as contemplated by Sections 8.14 or 8.15) or release the Parent
Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations that are subject to the participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10,
5.1, 5.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10(g) (it
being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender))
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided
that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.9(h) or 5.6 as if it were an assignee
under subsection (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.1
or 3.10, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each Lender that
sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower
to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.9(h) or 5.6 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law,
each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or
other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan,
letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding
any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall
have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.


 






     - 186 -


     


    

 


(e)              
Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;
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.


 


(f)               
No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of,
or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of
any other jurisdiction.


 


(g)               USA
Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and
anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may
request, and such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other
identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating solely to the rights or obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders, and not any other
Lenders, may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any such terms

(it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 6.1 or 6.2. or of any Default
or Event of Default and the forbearance with respect to such Default or Event of Default is not considered an increase in, or extension
or reinstatement of, the Revolving Credit Commitments or Tranche A-2 Term Loan Commitments of any Lenders);

(d)              
 Permitted Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Loan Modification Offers and Permitted
Amendments (as hereinafter defined) shall be permitted in accordance with this subsection (d), regardless of the preceding provisions
of this Section 13.7. The Borrower may make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all
the Lenders to make one or more Permitted Amendments (as defined below). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect
to the Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting
Lenders”). The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a loan modification
agreement (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. In connection with any Loan Modification
Offer, the Borrower may, at its sole option, terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments, and/or repay or reduce any Loans, of
one or more of the Lenders that are not Accepting Lenders. Additionally, to the extent the Borrower has reduced the Revolving Credit Commitments,
and/or Loans of such Lenders, it may request any other financial institution (with the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent
not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld) to provide a commitment to make loans on the terms set forth in such Loan Modification
Offer in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments or Loans reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties
hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent
(but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect
to the Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Revolving
Credit Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments, it being understood that all borrowings and
repayments of Revolving Credit Loans (as applicable) will be made pro rata between all Revolving Credit Loans and all repayments of Term
Loans will be made pro rata between all applicable Term Loans; provided that to the extent any Permitted Amendment extends the
final maturity of the Revolving Credit Commitments or Loans of the Accepting Lenders, the applicable Loans and related Obligations may
be repaid on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date (as applicable) on a non-ratable basis with
the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments or Loans of the Accepting Lenders. “Permitted Amendments” shall be an extension
of the scheduled maturity of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Term Loans of the Accepting
Lenders, together with any one or more of the following: (i) a change in rate of interest (including a change to the Applicable Margin
and/or a provision establishing a minimum rate), premium, fees or other amount with respect to the applicable Revolving Credit Loans and
Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Term Loans of the Accepting Lenders (in each case effective after the scheduled maturity of the Revolving
Credit Loans and/or Term Loans), (ii) additional fees to the Accepting Lenders and (iii) such other amendments to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the foregoing Permitted Amendments.

(e)              Amendment
of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent,
in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4 or the obligations
of the Swingline Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take
such action, require the written consent of each Swingline Lender. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.3 or
the obligations of the Issuing Banks under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove
to take such action, require the written consent of each Issuing Bank. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.3
or the obligations of the Issuing Banks under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required
hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of each Issuing Bank. Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any
Loan Document that (i) diminishes the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider in a manner or to an extent dissimilar to that affecting
the Lenders or (ii) increases the liabilities or obligations of a Specified Derivatives Provider shall, in addition to the Lenders required
hereinabove to take such action, require the consent of the Lender that is (or having an Affiliate that is) such Specified Derivatives
Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment,
waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected
Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Revolving Credit
Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender,
(y) [intentionally omitted], and (z) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender
that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders in any material respect shall require the
written consent of such Defaulting Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right
consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue
to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding
any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event
of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower
shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. It is understood and agreed that,
after giving effect to the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement effective as of the First Amendment Effective
Date (the “First Amendment”), based on the Compliance Certificate delivered with respect to the March 31, 2020 test
date, the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor were in compliance with Section 10.1(f) as set forth herein, and no Default or
Event of Default under Section 10.1(f) shall be deemed to have occurred based on the ratio of Unencumbered Adjusted NOI to
Unsecured Interest Expense as of the March 31, 2020 test date, and to the extent any Event of Default previously existed as a result
of a breach of such ratio under this Agreement prior to giving effect to the First Amendment, such Default or Event of Default is expressly
waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section.

(f)               
Technical Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.7, if the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency
between provisions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions
to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to
this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.7, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may,
without the consent of any Lender, (x) enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
or (y) enter into additional Loan Documents, in each case, as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement
any Benchmark Replacement or otherwise effectuate the terms of Exhibit M in accordance with the terms of Exhibit M.


 


(g)               Release
of Collateral. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and
the Administrative Agent shall, or shall cause the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to release any Liens granted to the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, by a Loan Party on any Collateral, any Covenant Relief Collateral or
pursuant to a Transferred Mortgage (i) on the date on which all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full
(other than (1) contingent indemnification obligations that have not been asserted, (2) Letters of Credit the expiration dates of
which extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as permitted under Section 2.3(b) and in respect of which the
Borrower has satisfied the requirements of such Section and Section 2.14 and (3) to the extent arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to a Specified Derivatives Provider under a Specified Derivatives Contract have been entered into, Specified
Derivatives Obligations under such Specified Derivatives Contract), (ii) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such
Collateral or Property subject to a Transferred Mortgage in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders pursuant to Section 11.2, (iii) upon the occurrence of a Collateral Release Date in accordance with the
terms and conditions of Sections 8.14 and 8.15 or upon the occurrence of the Covenant Relief Pledged Collateral Release
Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 8.16, (iv) with respect to any Transferred Mortgages in
accordance with the terms of Section 13.21, or (v) to the extent provided for in the Covenant Relief Intercreditor
Agreement. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those
expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by any Loan Party, including
the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral so long as a Collateral Period is then in
effect. The Administrative Agent agrees, and is hereby authorized by the Lenders, promptly after the Borrower requests and at the
Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to furnish (and to cause the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to furnish) to the Borrower
any release, termination or other agreement or document evidencing the foregoing release as may be reasonably requested by the
Borrower, and which release, termination or other agreement or document shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, and to deliver to the Borrower any portion of such Collateral or the Covenant Relief Collateral so released
that is in the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s possession, as applicable.

Section 13.8      
Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.


 


The relationship between the
Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender.
The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, the “Lender Parties”) may have economic interests
that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and partners  and/or their Affiliates. No Lender Party shall have
any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower or any other Loan Party and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan
Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. No Lender Party undertakes
any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s
business or operations.


 


Section 13.9      
Confidentiality.


 


Except as otherwise
provided by Applicable Law, each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees that it shall not disclose
and treat confidentially all non-public information furnished by the Borrower or on its behalf pursuant to the requirements of
this Agreement or otherwise in connection with any requested amendment, waiver or modification of the Loan Documents but in any
event may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective Affiliates (provided any such Affiliate shall agree to keep such
information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section or terms at least as restrictive as the terms of
this Section); (b) as reasonably requested by any bona fide Assignee, Participant or other permitted transferee in
connection with the contemplated transfer of any Revolving Credit Commitment, Loan or participations therein as permitted hereunder
(provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) to any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivatives transaction relating to the Borrower and its
obligations (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section);

connection with any legal proceedings or as otherwise required by Applicable Law (in which case, such Person shall, to the extent

Bank’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the
confidential nature of the information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of this type
confidential); (f) if an Event of Default exists, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders (or Specified Derivatives Provider) of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents (or under any Specified Derivatives Contract) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents (or any Specified
Derivatives Contract) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (g) 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 Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any
Affiliate of the Borrower; (h) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency

deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (j) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or

Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender
or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender. As used in
this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any
other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that
is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the

Borrower shall be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for (I) any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection
with matters described in this subsection to the extent arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such

 All out of pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the
Parent Guarantor and the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Parent Guarantor
and the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified
Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.


 


(e)              
An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any
Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party
shall be reimbursed by the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating
or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder
to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) if the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower
are required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower have provided evidence

the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.


 


Section 13.11  
Termination; Survival.

omitted], (c) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired (other than Letters of Credit the expiration dates of

Borrower has satisfied the requirements of such Section and Section 2.14), (d) none of the Lenders is
obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (e) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as
hereafter provided in this Section 13.11 and contingent indemnification obligations that have not been asserted) have

return to the Borrower any Note issued to such Lender. The provisions of Sections 3.10, 5.1, 5.4 and 13.5, the indemnities to
which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are entitled under Sections 12.6, 13.2, 13.10 and any

Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents,
against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party
to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this
Agreement. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent agrees to deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s
sole cost and expense, written confirmation of the foregoing termination.

Section 13.12  
Severability of Provisions.

Transferred Mortgages.


 


(a)               The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that as an accommodation to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Super-Majority
Lenders may, from time to time, in their sole discretion, accept the benefits of Mortgages encumbering real property located in the
State of New York assigned from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Section to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit
and the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (any such Mortgage, a “Transferred Mortgage”). The agreement
of the Administrative Agent and the Super-Majority Lenders to accept the benefit of a Transferred Mortgage in their sole discretion
will be subject to, among other things, (i) the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s reasonable determination that
the real property subject to such Transferred Mortgage is not in an area determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to
have special flood hazards, and (ii) the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s receipt of all internal approvals
regarding flood compliance with respect to the applicable real property subject to such Transferred Mortgage.

In connection with the acceptance of the benefits of a Transferred Mortgage by the Administrative Agent and the Super-Majority
Lenders, the Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent each of the following, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:


 


(i)          the
originals (or if not available, copies, together with one or more lost note affidavits) of each outstanding promissory note evidencing
the Indebtedness secured by such Transferred Mortgage, duly endorsed (by allonge or otherwise) to the order of the Administrative Agent
(collectively, “Existing Mortgage Notes”) ;


 


(ii)         an
amended and restated promissory note (each a “Restated Mortgage Note”) which amends, restates and, if applicable,
consolidates the applicable Existing Mortgage Notes, which (x) shall be payable to the order of the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of itself, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, (y) shall be in an initial aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
Loans advanced hereunder in connection with the transfer of such Existing Mortgage Notes to the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of itself, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and (z) shall incorporate by reference all of the applicable terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents;


 


(iii)        a
copy of such Transferred Mortgage, including all amendments thereto, showing all recording information thereon certified to the knowledge
of an authorized officer of the Borrower as being true, correct and complete, and any other underlying loan documents relating to such
Transferred Mortgage;


 


(iv)       an
assignment of such Transferred Mortgage, in recordable form, executed by each holder of the Indebtedness secured by such Transferred
Mortgage (or an authorized agent acting on behalf of each such holder);


 


(v)        a
modification to such Transferred Mortgage executed by the applicable Loan Parties, such modification, among other things, to modify
such Transferred Mortgage (x) to provide that it secures the applicable Restated Mortgage Note, (y) to provide that the maximum
principal sum of Obligations secured by such Transferred Mortgage at execution or in the future shall not exceed the initial
principal amount of the applicable Restated Mortgage Note and (z) to include language reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent to the effect that payments in respect of the Obligations shall not be deemed to reduce the amount of the Obligations secured
by such Transferred Mortgage until such time as the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations shall have been reduced to the
initial principal amount of the applicable Restated Mortgage Note;


 






    - 200 - 


     


    

 


(vi)       terminations
of, or assignments and modifications to, any assignment of leases and rents, financing statements and any other document, instrument
or agreement securing the Indebtedness secured by such Transferred Mortgage, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request;


 


(vii)      a
copy of any Phase I (and Phase II, if necessary) Environmental Site Assessment report on the Property subject to such Transferred Mortgage
and such other diligence materials as the Administrative Agent and the Super-Majority Lenders may reasonably require;


 


(viii)     an
environmental indemnity agreement executed by the Parent Guarantor in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit
of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and


 


(ix)        such
other documents, agreements and instruments as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may reasonably
request.


 


(c)              
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, including without limitation,
Section 13.7(g), (i) so long as no Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect thereto, upon the Borrower’s
written request and at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, the Administrative Agent shall release any or all of the Transferred
Mortgages and any other agreements or filings evidencing the Lien of the Administrative Agent pursuant to any such Transferred Mortgage
or assign any or all of the Transferred Mortgages to any Person requested by the Borrower (any such assignment to be without recourse
or warranty whatsoever) and (ii) the Administrative Agent may in its discretion, and shall at the direction of the Required Lenders, release
any or all of the Transferred Mortgages if the Administrative Agent has, or the Required Lenders have, reasonably determined that holding
any of such Transferred Mortgages could be detrimental to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, and so long as the Administrative Agent
shall have given to the Borrower written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to any such release; provided, however, the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to give any such prior notice to the Borrower if the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, has determined
that delay of such release would be detrimental to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation
of any requirement in connection with a release of a Hotel Property from the Unencumbered Pool pursuant to Section 4.3, the Borrower
shall not be required to repay any Indebtedness secured by such Transferred Mortgages upon the release of such Transferred Mortgages.


 


(d)               Not
in limitation of any of the Borrower’s obligations under Section 13.2 or Section 13.10, the Borrower
shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each
other Indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or
expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the fees and the
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one primary counsel to the Indemnified Parties, one specialty
counsel to the Indemnified Parties in each relevant specialty, one local counsel to the Indemnified Parties in each relevant local
jurisdiction, in each case selected by the Administrative Agent, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one
additional counsel to the affected Indemnified Parties that are similarly situated in each relevant jurisdiction in connection with
any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith) incurred by an Indemnified Party
in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any Indemnity Proceeding which is in any way related directly or indirectly to
(i) the failure of any Person to pay any recording tax payable pursuant to N.Y. Tax Law, Ch. 60, Art. 11, Sec. 253 et seq. or other
Applicable Laws of the State of New York or any political subdivision of such State or (ii) any Transferred Mortgage.


 






    - 201 - 


     


    

 


(e)              
The Borrower represents and warrants that no Property encumbered by a Transferred Mortgage is located in an area determined by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency to have special flood hazards. If at any time in the future the Borrower becomes aware that any
portion of a Property encumbered by a Transferred Mortgage is located in an area determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as special flood hazard area, then the Borrower will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and such Transferred Mortgage relating to
such Property which is in a special flood hazard area will be released pursuant to clause (c) above.


 


Section 13.22  
Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.


 


Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges
that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may
be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges
and agrees to be bound by:


 


(a)              
the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising
hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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

Section 13.23 Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs.


 


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


 


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.

Section 1.               
Guaranty. Each Existing Guarantor affirms its obligations under and the terms and conditions of the Existing Guaranty and
agrees that such obligations remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified, reaffirmed and confirmed. Each Guarantor hereby

the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or to

    F-2


     


    

 


Section 3.               
Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting
any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or the other Guarantied Parties with respect thereto. The liability of each
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force
and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance
or occurrence whatsoever, subject to the termination provisions in Section 20, including without limitation, the following

or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer

(d)               any
settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with
respect to any of the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations to the
payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;


 


(f)

subrogation rights, if any, against any Loan Party or any other person to recover payments made under this Guaranty;


 


(g)              
any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any collateral securing in any way any of the Guarantied

to the Administrative Agent or the other Guarantied Parties, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;


 


(i)                
any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof;


 


(j)

available to or be asserted by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any of the other
Guarantied Parties;


 


(k)              
any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Loan
Party under any Loan Document, Specified Derivatives Contract, or any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading
in any respect; or


 


(m)            
any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other
than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

with Respect to Guarantied Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties may, at any time and from time
to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder,
take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any
of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied
Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or

or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of any of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or
refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by
whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent and the other

    F-4


     


    

 


Section 5.               
Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties
all of the representations and warranties made by the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such
Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.


 


Section 6.               
Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants with which the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower is to cause such
Guarantor to comply under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.


 


Section 7.               
Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or
any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing,
which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor
from its obligations hereunder.


 


Section 8.               
Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guarantied Parties are prevented under Applicable
Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise,
the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the
sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.


 


Section 9.               
Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any of the other Guarantied
Parties for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and
the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or
order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected
by the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for
the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding
on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified
Derivatives Contract or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to
the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had
never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party.


 


Section 10.           
Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of any other Loan Party, such Guarantor
shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against such Loan Party; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any
right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such
Guarantor may have against such Loan Party arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty,
unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to
such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold
such amount in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties and shall forthwith pay such amount
to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance
with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations
existing.


 






    F-5


     


    

 


Section 11.           
Payments Free and Clear. Section 3.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable, mutatis mutandis, to all
payments required to be made by any Guarantor under this Guaranty.


 


Section 12.           
Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives
Contract or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, subject to Section 13.4 of the Credit Agreement, each
Guarantor hereby authorizes, each Guarantied Party, each Affiliate of a Guarantied Party and each Participant, at any time while an Event
of Default exists, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but
in the case of a Guarantied Party (other than the Administrative Agent), an Affiliate of a Guarantied Party (other than the Administrative
Agent) or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders exercised
in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited
to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing
by a Guarantied Party, an Affiliate of a Guarantied Party or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against
and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor agrees,
to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights
with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.


 


Section 13.           
Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
other Guarantied Parties that all obligations and liabilities of any other Loan Party to such Guarantor of whatever description, including
without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from any other Loan Party (collectively, the “Junior Claims”)
shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations. During the continuance of an Event of Default, no Guarantor
shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from any Loan Party on account of
or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.


 


Section 14.           
Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that
in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not
otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and
the other Guarantied Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law,
including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent
conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The
Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations
of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred
to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise
be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder
shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance
Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative
Agent and the other Guarantied Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended
solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would
not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any
other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Administrative Agent and the other Guarantied
Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.


 






    F-6


     


    

 


Section 15.           
Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition
of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied
Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guarantied Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding
such circumstances or risks.


 


Section 16.           
Governing Law. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.


 


Section 17.           
Waiver of jury trial.


 


(a)               EACH
PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE
OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE
PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND
EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL
IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY
REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF
THE OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.


 


(b)              
EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OTHER GUARANTIED PARTY HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT
OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION
TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE GUARANTIED PARTIES,
PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. EACH GUARANTOR
AND EACH OF THE GUARANTIED PARTIES EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED
IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES. EACH OF THE GUARANTORS HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT,
OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE
BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO IT AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED HEREIN. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT
IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT
IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT
BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY ANY PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY PARTY OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN
ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.


 


(c)              
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING
OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.


 






    F-7


     


    

 


Section 18.           
Loan Accounts. The Administrative Agent and each other Guarantied Party may maintain books and accounts setting forth the
amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute
relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such
books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other matters set forth herein, absent manifest error. The
failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or
discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.


 


Section 19.           
Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of the other Guarantied Parties in
the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no
single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any of the other Guarantied Parties of any such right or remedy shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.


 


Section 20.           
Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force with respect to each Guarantor until the earliest of the (x) the date
on which all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full (other than (1) contingent indemnification
obligations that have not been asserted, (2) Letters of Credit the expiration dates of which extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date as permitted under Section 2.3(b) and in respect of which the Borrower has satisfied the requirements of such Section and
Section 2.14 and (3) to the extent arrangements reasonably satisfactory to a Specified Derivatives Provider under a Specified
Derivatives Contract have been entered into, Specified Derivatives Obligations under such Specified Derivatives Contract) or (y) solely
with respect to such Guarantor (but not any other Guarantor), release or termination of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, at which point this Guaranty shall (solely with respect to such Guarantor, in the case
of clause (y)), automatically terminate and have no further force and effect (other than any provisions of this Guaranty that expressly
survive the termination hereof). The Administrative Agent agrees to execute and deliver such documents as are reasonably requested in
accordance with Section 8.14 or Section 8.15 of the Credit Agreement, as applicable, by the Borrower or any such
Guarantor to evidence such termination or release, at the Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s sole cost and expense.


 


Section 21.            Successors
and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party shall be deemed to include such
Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose
favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such
Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Guarantied Parties may, in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell
participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without
releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Subject to Section 13.9 of the Credit
Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party to any Assignee
or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any
Guarantor. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent and all other Guarantied Parties and any such assignment or other transfer to which the Administrative
Agent and all of the other Guarantied Parties have not so consented shall be null and void.

Section 22.          Joint
and Several Obligations. The Obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be joint and several, and accordingly, each Guarantor
confirms that it is liable for the full amount of the “Guarantied Obligations” and all of the obligations and liabilities
of each of the other Guarantors hereunder.


 


Section 23.           Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended except in a writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders
if required under the terms of the Credit Agreement), the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor subject to Section 13.17 of the
Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released hereunder in accordance with the terms
of Section 8.14 or Section 8.15 of the Credit Agreement, as applicable, and any Subsidiary may become a Guarantor hereunder

of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section for the
maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise
under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater
amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until termination
of this Guaranty in accordance with Section 20 hereof. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section constitute,
and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of
each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

the Administrative Agent and each of the Guarantied Parties acknowledge and agree that no Non-Recourse Party has any obligation hereunder

on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation, against, and no personal liability shall attach to, any Non-Recourse
Party, through the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate
veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties against any Non-Recourse Party, by the
enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equity proceeding, by virtue of any applicable law, or otherwise. For the avoidance of

Additional Terms and Conditions to the Disbursement
Instruction Agreement


 


Definitions. The following capitalized terms
shall have the meanings set forth below:


 


“Authorized Representative”
means any or all of the Closing Disbursement Authorizers, Subsequent Disbursement Authorizers and Restricted Account Disbursement Authorizers,
as applicable.


“Receiving Bank” means
the financial institution where a Receiving Party maintains its account.


“Receiving Party” means
the ultimate recipient of funds pursuant to a Disbursement Request.


“Restricted Account” means
an account at Wells Fargo Bank, National Association associated with the Loan to which Borrower’s access is restricted.


 


Capitalized terms used in these Additional Terms
and Conditions to Disbursement Instruction Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
body of the Agreement.


 


Disbursement Requests. Except as expressly
provided in the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent must receive Disbursement Requests in writing and no verbal requests will be
accepted. Disbursement Requests will only be accepted from the applicable Authorized Representatives designated in the Disbursement Instruction
Agreement. Disbursement Requests will be processed subject to satisfactory completion of Administrative Agent’s customer verification
procedures. Administrative Agent is only responsible for making a good faith effort to execute each Disbursement Request and may use agents
of its choice to execute Disbursement Requests. Funds disbursed pursuant to a Disbursement Request may be transmitted directly to the
Receiving Bank, or indirectly to the Receiving Bank through another bank, government agency, or other third party that Administrative
Agent considers to be reasonable. Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means
by which each Disbursement will be made. Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a Disbursement Request if the Disbursement
would: (i) violate the terms of this Agreement; (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to Administrative Agent or prohibited by government
authority; (iii) cause Administrative Agent to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline; or (iv)
otherwise cause Administrative Agent to violate any applicable law or regulation.


 


Limitation of Liability. Administrative Agent,
Issuing Banks, Swingline Lenders and Lenders shall not be liable to Borrower or any other parties for: (i) errors, acts or failures to
act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which Borrower’s requested Disbursements
may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks,
Swingline Lenders and Lenders (other than as a result of the Administrative Agent’s, Issuing Banks’, Swingline Lenders’
and Lenders’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non appealable
judgment); (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of
government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s,
Issuing Banks’, Swingline Lenders’ and Lenders’ control; or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages,
whether or not (A) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (B) Administrative Agent or Borrower knew or should have
known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender or any
Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement. IN NO EVENT WILL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT,
ISSUING BANKS, SWINGLINE LENDERS AND LENDERS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IF A DISBURSEMENT REQUEST IS EXECUTED
BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN GOOD FAITH AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.


 


Reliance on Information Provided. Administrative
Agent is authorized to rely on the information provided by Borrower or any Authorized Representative in or in accordance with this Agreement
when executing a Disbursement Request until Administrative Agent has received a new Agreement signed by Borrower. Borrower agrees to be
bound by any Disbursement Request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower; or (ii) made in Borrower’s name and accepted by Administrative
Agent in good faith and in compliance with this Agreement, even if not properly authorized by Borrower. Administrative Agent may rely
solely (i) on the account number of the Receiving Party, rather than the Receiving Party’s name, and (ii) on the bank routing number
of the Receiving Bank, rather than the Receiving Bank’s name, in executing a Disbursement Request. Administrative Agent is not obligated
or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower or an Authorized Representative. If Administrative
Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfers or requests or takes any actions in
an attempt to detect unauthorized Disbursement Requests, Borrower agrees that, no matter how many times Administrative Agent takes these
actions, Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future,
and such actions shall not become any part of the Disbursement procedures authorized herein, in the Loan Documents, or in any agreement
between Administrative Agent and Borrower.


 


International Disbursements. A Disbursement
Request expressed in US Dollars will be sent in US Dollars, even if the Receiving Party or Receiving Bank is located outside the United
States. Administrative Agent will not execute Disbursement Requests expressed in foreign currency unless permitted by the Loan Agreement.


 


Errors. Borrower agrees to notify
Administrative Agent of any errors in the Disbursement of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized Disbursement
Requests within fourteen (14) days after Administrative Agent’s confirmation to Borrower of such Disbursement. If
Administrative Agent is notified that it did not disburse the full amount requested in a Disbursement Request, Administrative
Agent’s sole liability will be to promptly disburse the amount of the stated deficiency. If Administrative Agent disburses an
amount in excess of the amount requested in a Disbursement Request, Lender will only be liable for such excess amount to the extent
that Borrower does not receive the benefit of such amount.


 






     J-7


     


    

 


Finality of Disbursement Requests. Disbursement
Requests will be final and will not be subject to stop payment or recall; provided that Administrative Agent may, at Borrower’s
request, make an effort to effect a stop payment or recall but will incur no liability whatsoever for its failure or inability to do so.

EXHIBIT M – BENCHMARK REPLACEMENT PROVISIONS


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein

		(a)	Benchmark Replacement. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election,
as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such
amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative
Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time,
written notice of objection to such amendment from the Requisite Lenders, provided, however, as applied to this subsection (a)
only and for no other purposes, objection from the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent is not required for objecting to the Benchmark
Replacement, so long as all the other Lenders objecting to such Benchmark Replacement otherwise satisfy the Requisite Lender requirements.
Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date the Requisite Lenders have delivered to
Administrative Agent written notice that such Requisite Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement
pursuant to this Exhibit M will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.



 


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



 


		(c)	Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its
related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the
effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability
Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders pursuant to this
Exhibit M, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence
of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as to the
prior written approval of the Borrower and as otherwise expressly required pursuant to the provision of this Exhibit M.



 


		(d)	Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement
of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of, LIBOR
Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans to be made, Converted or Continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower
will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or Conversion to Base Rate Loans and (ii) all Loans
shall be converted to Base Rate Loans, and for the duration of the Benchmark Unavailability Period, all Loans shall be Base Rate Loans.

Transition Event pursuant to clause (c) of this Exhibit M shall be deemed satisfied.

- means the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate (which may include Term SOFR) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining

as a replacement for LIBOR for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided
that, if the Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than one-quarter percent (0.25%), the Benchmark Replacement shall be
deemed to be one-quarter percent (0.25%) for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for purposes of any Facility, if the Borrower has delivered a written notice to the Administrative Agent certifying (i) that all or any
portion of the Loans under such Facility are subject to a Derivatives Contract providing for a “swap” within the meaning of
section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act and (ii) that such Derivatives Contract is not subject to a 0.25% interest rate floor, then

adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of LIBOR with the applicable Unadjusted
Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread
adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of LIBOR with the applicable Unadjusted
Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.


 


“Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes” - means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational
changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making
payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the
adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a
manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such
market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the
