NOW THEREFORE, for good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto

1.             Amendments

the Exhibits thereto and Schedules thereto) is hereby amended as set forth in the marked terms on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto

2.             Amendments to the Guaranty. Effective as set forth in Section 4 below, the Guaranty is hereby amended as set forth
below, and as so amended, the Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect:


 






    


     


    

 


(a)            Section 32 of the Guaranty is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below:


 


“Section
32. Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Guaranty or any document or instrument
delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, and notwithstanding the fact that DBT Met Hotel Venture, LP (“DBT LP”)
and Knickbocker Holding Partnership, L.P. (“Knickerbocker LP”) may be limited partnerships, by its acceptance of the
benefits of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each of the Guarantied Parties acknowledge and agree that no Non-Recourse
Party has any obligation hereunder and that no recourse shall be had hereunder or under any document or instrument delivered in
connection herewith, or for any claim based 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 doubt, Knickerbocker LP is not a Guarantor as of the Amendment
No. 7 Effective Date.


 


For purposes
of this Section 32, “Non-Recourse Party” means any former, current and future equity holders, controlling persons,
directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, or general or limited partners of either (i) DBT LP (including without limitation,
Highgate Oxford New York II, LLC, a Delaware limited partnership, and its successors and affiliates) or (ii) Knickerbocker LP (including
without limitation, HH Knickerbocker Owner, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and its successors and affiliates), other than
any Guarantor.”

or status since the date of the information contained in the financial and business projections, budgets, pro forma data and

and binding.


 


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 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.             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 Term Loan 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 Term Loan 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 Term Loan Agreement contained in the above-referenced documents shall be a reference
to the Amended Term Loan Agreement and as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified.


 


7.             GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

8.             Counterparts.
To facilitate execution, this Amendment and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of
counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or
that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively
constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a
single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.


 


9.            Headings.
The headings of this Amendment are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.


 


10.           Miscellaneous.
This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document under the Amended Term Loan Agreement. This Amendment expresses the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. No prior negotiations or discussions shall limit, modify,
or otherwise affect the provisions hereof. Any determination that any provision of this Amendment or any application hereof is
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect and in any instance shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability
of such provision in any other instance, or the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provisions of this Amendment.
Each of the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor represents and warrants that it has consulted with independent legal counsel of
its selection in connection herewith and is not relying on any representations or warranties of the Administrative Agent or its
counsel in entering into this Amendment.

(b)           Requests for the Loan.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing
of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans comprising all or a portion of the Loan (which for purposes of this subsection (b) shall
include (if and as applicable) an Additional Loan Advance) and not later than 1:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business
Days prior to a borrowing of LIBOR Loans (other than LIBOR Daily Loans) comprising all or a portion of the Loan, the Borrower shall

other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to advance its portion of the Loan or to perform any other obligation to

Section 2.4           
Intentionally Omitted.


 


Section 2.5           
Rates and Payment of Interest on the Loan.


 


(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 interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender 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 (including,
without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).


 


(b)           Payment
of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of the 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 the 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

Section 2.8           Prepayments.


 


(a)           Optional.
Subject to Section 5.4., the Borrower may prepay the Loan in full or in part at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent written notice at least two (2) Business Days prior to the prepayment of any LIBOR Loan or
one (1) Business Day prior to the prepayment of any Base Rate Loan. Each voluntary partial prepayment of the Loan shall 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.


 


(b)

(15) days of the Borrower obtaining knowledge of the occurrence thereof, then (unless otherwise approved by the Requisite
Lenders) the entire Outstanding Amount of the Loan, together with all accrued interest thereon shall be immediately due and payable
in full. All payments under this subsection (b)(i) shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.5(a).

(a)          
the Net Proceeds received by the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries (other than the Excluded FelCor
Subsidiaries) with respect to asset sales consummated during such Prepayment Period and not reinvested in the Unencumbered Pool

Net Proceeds (such six-month period with respect to such Net Proceeds as it may be extended pursuant to the immediately following
proviso, a “Reinvestment Period”) (but excluding from the mandatory prepayment requirements in this clause (A)
up to $100,000,000 in Net Proceeds received as a result of one or more such asset sales in the aggregate during such Prepayment

Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be a party to a binding contract for the purchase of a Borrowing Base Property executed
during such six-month period, then such Reinvestment Period shall be extended for an additional sixty (60) days (or such longer
period as the Administrative Agent may permit in its sole discretion in order to permit the closing of such property purchase)
upon written notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall attach a certified copy of the applicable
purchase contract; and


 


(b)          
the Net Proceeds received by the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries (other than the Excluded FelCor
Subsidiaries) with respect to any Borrowed Money Recourse Debt (other than (1) construction loans and (2) Revolving Credit Loans
(as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement)) incurred during such Prepayment Period.


 


All payments under this subsection (b)(iii)
shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.5(b).

Effect on Derivatives Contracts. Except to the extent provided pursuant to the terms of a Derivatives Contract, no repayment
or prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the Borrower’s obligations under such Derivatives
Contract entered into for the purposes of hedging the Borrower’s obligations with respect to the Loans.


 


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 prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation
shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other 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.


 


Section 2.10          Conversion.


 


So long as no Default
or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to
the 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
Loans (or, with respect to any proposed Conversion on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, 11:00 a.m. on the Fourth Amendment Effective
Date) and (ii) 11:00 a.m. two (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 Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it elects to
receive a Note, the portion of the Loan made by each Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced at the request
of such Lender by a Note, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally
in effect and otherwise duly completed.


 


(b)          
Records. The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan
and any portion thereof made by each 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.


 


(c)           Lost,
Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of
such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured
agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation,
upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note
dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Amount Limitations.

Advance) and any “Loans” under and as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, but excluding the Existing Unsecured
FelCor Bonds) of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would exceed the Unencumbered Asset Value.

(a)           The
Borrower shall have the right to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments by providing written notice to the
Administrative Agent; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases the Outstanding Amount of
the Loan shall not exceed $225,000,000. Each such increase in the Commitments 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 Commitments, 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 the increase in the Commitments 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 Commitments shall be offered
by the Arrangers to any existing Lender 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 Commitment.


 


(b)           Intentionally
Omitted.


 


(c)           If
pursuant to this Section 2.16. one or more Additional Lenders shall agree to make an Additional Loan Advance, such Additional
Loan Advance shall be made on a date agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lender, in accordance
with the following conditions and procedures:


 


(i)             Not
later than 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Loans comprising
all or a portion of an Additional Loan Advance and not later than 1:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior
to a borrowing of LIBOR Loans (other than LIBOR Daily Loans) comprising all or a portion of an Additional Loan Advance, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a Notice of Borrowing with respect to such Additional Loan Advance and (B) Notices
of Continuation and/or Notices of Conversion with respect to the then outstanding Loan, such that, on the date of the Additional
Loan Advance, the Loan then outstanding and the Additional Loan Advance shall be combined  so that all Lenders (including
the Additional Lender) hold pro rata amounts of each portion of the Loan (including the Additional Loan Advance) of each Type
and Interest Period in their respective Commitment Percentages as determined after giving effect to the Additional Loan Advance.
Each such Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion and Notice of Continuation shall specify the Type of the Loan (or Additional
Loan Advance, as applicable), and if such portion of the Loan (or Additional Loan Advance, 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 hereof).


 



    	 	- 52 -	 



     


    

 


(ii)           Each
Additional Lender shall deposit an amount equal to its Additional Commitment with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office,
in immediately available funds not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date on which it has agreed to make such Additional Loan Advance.
 Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the
Borrower at the Principal Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. on such date the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative
Agent.


 


(iii)          The
Borrower shall pay to the Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Lenders under Section 5.4. as a result of the Conversion
of any portion of the Loan as provided above.


 


(d)           Any
Additional Loan Advance under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (w) the Administrative Agent’s
approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of any new Lender (other than an Eligible Assignee), (x) no
Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such Additional Loan Advance, (y) 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 shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality,
in which event such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase
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 (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative
Agent, copies certified by the secretary or assistant secretary (or other individual performing similar functions) of (A) all
corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such Additional Loan Advance and (B) all
corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase in
the Additional Loan Advance; (ii) a supplement to this Agreement executed by the Borrower and any Lender increasing its Commitment
or issuing a new Commitment confirming such increase or new Commitment which supplement may include such amendments to this Agreement
as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to implement the transactions contemplated by this Section
2.16., together with the consent of the Guarantors thereto; (iii) if requested by the Administrative Agent or any Additional Lender,
an opinion of counsel to the Loan Parties, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; (iv) if requested by any Additional Lender, a new Note or replacement Note executed
by the Borrower payable to such Additional Lender in the amount of (A) its Commitment if it is a new Lender or (B) the sum of
the then Outstanding Amount of its Loan and the amount of its Additional Commitment if it was theretofore a Lender. In connection
with any Additional Loan Advance pursuant to this Section 2.16. any Lender increasing or issuing a new Commitment shall (1)
execute any other documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any
Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative
Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative
Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation,

Article
III. Payments, Fees and Other General Provisions


 


Section 3.1           Payments.


 


(a)           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. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to
pay such amounts to such Lender 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 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 the amount due.
In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 3.2           
Pro Rata Treatment.


 


Except to the extent
otherwise provided herein, including, without limitation, Sections 5.6 and 13.7(d): (a)  the Loan under Section 2.1(a)
shall be made from the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment
of principal of the Loan shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal
amounts of the Loan held by them; (c) each payment of interest on the Loan shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro
rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and (d) the making, Conversion and Continuation of a
Loan of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Sections 5.1(c) and 5.5) shall be made pro rata among the
Lenders, according to the Outstanding Amounts of their respective portions of the Loan, as applicable, and the then current Interest
Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.


 


Section 3.3           
Sharing of Payments, Etc.


 


If a Lender shall obtain
payment of any principal of, or interest on, any portion of the 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 portion of the Loan 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 Loan 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 the Loan 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

Section 3.6          Computations.


 


Unless otherwise expressly
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 of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.


 


Section 3.7          Usury.


 


In no event shall the
amount of interest due or payable on the Loan 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees,
facility 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 the Loan, 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 of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of
any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; third, 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 fourth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.


 


(c)          Intentionally
Omitted.


 


(d)          Intentionally
Omitted.

(e)          Defaulting
Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a 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, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, subject to Section 13.21.,
except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender
will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.


 


Section 3.10        Foreign
Lenders; Taxes.


 


(a)          Applicable
Law. For the purposes of this Section, 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.


 






    	 	- 58 -	 



     


    

 


(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.


 


(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.


 






    	 	- 59 -	 



     


    

 


(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;


 


(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 I-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 I-2 or Exhibit I-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 I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


 






    	 	- 60 -	 



     


    

 


(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.


 






    	 	- 61 -	 



     


    

 


(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, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations
under any Loan Document.


 


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


 


Article
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 Amendment No. 7 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 Amendment No. 7 Effective Date.


 


(b)          Additional
Borrowing Base Properties. If after the Amendment No. 7 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 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.

Section 4.2          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) 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. 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.


 


Article
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 Loans made by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company could have achieved but for such 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
Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”),
resulting from any Regulatory Change that:


 


(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 Commitment (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));


 






    	 	- 63 -	 



     


    

 


(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 Commitment 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).


 


(d)          Intentionally
Omitted.


 


(e)          Notification
and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify
the Borrower (and, in the case of a Lender, to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date
entitling the Administrative Agent 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 or any Lender to give such notice shall not release
the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided further, that none of the Administrative Agent or 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 Administrative Agent or such Lender
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 and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and, in the case of 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 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.


 






    	 	- 64 -	 



     


    

 


Section 5.2          Suspension
of LIBOR Loans.


 


Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to the provisions of Exhibit J, 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
such 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 such 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.


 






    	 	- 65 -	 



     


    

 


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.


 


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.


 






    	 	- 66 -	 



     


    

 


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),
Section 5.2, or Section 5.3 then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans
on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1(c),
Section 5.2, or Section 5.3 on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify
to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable)) and, unless and until such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1, Section 5.2, or
Section 5.3 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:


 


(a)          to
the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise
be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and


 


(b)          all
Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate
Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.


 


If such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable) that
the 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, after giving effect
thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts,
Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.


 


Section 5.6          Affected
Lenders.


 


If (a) a Lender
requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10 or 5.1, (b) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender or (d) 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) or 5.3 but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended
under such Sections, then the Borrower may either (A) demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon
such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign 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) 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) 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 Loans held by
such Affected Lender, together with all accrued interest thereon, whereupon such Affected Lender shall no longer be a party hereto.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected
Lender under this Section and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer
such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption, but at no time shall the
Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender or any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement
or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. 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, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The
terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing
to 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. 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
5.6 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 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.

as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier

Section 11.4         Marshaling;
Payments Set Aside.


 


None of the Administrative
Agent, 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 Lender and/or any Specified Derivatives Provider or the Administrative
Agent 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)          If
an Event of Default exists and maturity of any of the Obligations has been accelerated or the 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;


 


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;


 






    	 	- 103 -	 



     


    

 


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


 


Fourth,
to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and payment obligations then
owing under Specified Derivatives Contracts, ratably among the Lenders, and the Specified Derivatives Providers in proportion to
the respective amounts described in this clause payable to them; and


 


Fifth,
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.


 


(b)         Any
payment required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(iii) shall be applied pro rata among the Outstanding
Amount and the aggregate outstanding principal amount under the Pari Passu 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); 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 Outstanding Amount or the outstanding principal amount
of any Pari Passu Debt in such manner as it may designate. 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”).


 


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.

acceleration of the maturity of the Loan 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.


 


Section 11.9         Rights
Cumulative.


 


(a)          Generally. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent 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 Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers may be selective and no failure
or delay by the Administrative Agent, 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; 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 Specified Derivatives Provider from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit, under any Specified Derivatives Contract, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.4. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (iv) 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), and (iv) 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 plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition under any Debtor Relief Law affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of any claim of any 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 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).


 






    	 	- 106 -	 



     


    

 


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 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 other Lenders or any Specified Derivatives Providers. 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.


 






    	 	- 107 -	 



     


    

 


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.


 


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 or any other
Person or shall be responsible to any Lender 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 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 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 Loan 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
expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations
or warranties to 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 or any Lender. Each of the Lenders 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 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 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 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 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.

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, 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 directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in
this Section; provided, further that such Lenders 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 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.
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.

Section 12.9         Titled Agents.


 


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

 (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;


 






    	 	- 112 -	 



     


    

 


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

insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate
accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class
exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance
into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans and this Agreement;


 


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


 


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


 


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 and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto);


 


(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 or this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it
extended the Loans for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, 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, administrative agent

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

The Parent Guarantor
and the Borrower agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or
modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in respect of any notice given by the Borrower under
Section 2.16(a), whether or not the requested increase is actually effected), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and
all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks,

including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent relating to
all such activities, (b)  to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all their costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents and the Fee Letter, including the reasonable
and out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of their respective counsel and (c) to the extent not already covered by any of the
preceding subsections, to pay the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and any Lender incurred in connection

for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating
to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor in possession financing or any plan of reorganization
of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by the Borrower, such Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and
whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or
conclusion of any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to reimburse the Lenders for fees and expenses
of counsel in connection with the matters described in items (b) and (c) above shall be limited to (x) one law firm for the Administrative
Agent, (y) one other law firm retained by the Requisite Lenders, together with (in the case of (x) and (y), as applicable) one
additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, and (z) in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional

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 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 expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender 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 the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Participant or any Affiliate
of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower against
and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Loan and all other Obligations have been declared
to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2, and although such Obligations shall be contingent
or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right
of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from
its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting
Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to
such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.


 


Section 13.5         Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.


 


(a)           EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT GUARANTOR, THE BORROWER,
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS 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 LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, THE PARENT GUARANTOR AND THE BORROWER 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 AGREEMENT,
THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE FEE LETTER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COLLATERAL OR ANY LIEN CREATED HEREUNDER OF THEREUNDER
OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT GUARANTOR, THE BORROWER, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
OR THE FEE LETTER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COLLATERAL OR ANY LIEN CREATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.


 






    	 	- 117 -	 



     


    

 


(b)           EACH OF THE PARENT GUARANTOR, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL
DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN NEW
YORK, NEW YORK SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT GUARANTOR,
THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN AND
THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE FEE LETTER OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM OR ANY COLLATERAL. THE PARENT
GUARANTOR, THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH OF THE PARENT GUARANTOR AND THE BORROWER 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 FOR 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 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT
BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER 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 LOAN AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.


 


Section 13.6         Successors and Assigns.


 


(a)           Successors
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 the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by
way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (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 assignment or transfer by any
party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
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 reason of this Agreement.


 






    	 	- 118 -	 



     


    

 


(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 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 Lender’s 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), the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption,
as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of a 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 outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than
$10,000,000 in the case of a Loan, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Loans at the time owing to
it.


 


 (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 assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit
any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Loans 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:


 






    	 	- 119 -	 



     


    

 


 (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; and


 


 (B)      the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments
in respect of a Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.


 


 (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).


 


 (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.


 






    	 	- 120 -	 



     


    

 


 (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 and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate)
its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its 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).


 


(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 Loans 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.


 






    	 	- 121 -	 



     


    

 


(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 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 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 (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) 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 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 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.


 






    	 	- 122 -	 



     


    

 


(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.


 


Section 13.7         Amendments and Waivers.


 


(a)           Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required
or permitted by this Agreement or in any Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement
or of any other Loan Document may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event
of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only
with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders),
and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto.


 


(b)           Unanimous Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing,
and signed by each of the Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction
of such Lenders), do any of the following:


 


 (i)           increase or extend the Commitments of the Lenders (excluding any increase as a result of an assignment of Commitments
permitted under Section 13.6) or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations except for any increases contemplated under
Section 2.16;


 






    	 	- 123 -	 



     


    

 


 (ii)          reduce the principal of, or interest rates that have accrued or that will be charged (subject to the last sentence
of Section 13.7(f)) on the outstanding principal amount of, the Loan or other Obligations (other than a waiver of default interest
and changes in calculation of the Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing); provided, however, that only the written
consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be required (x) for the waiver of interest payable at the Post-Default Rate, retraction
of the imposition of interest at the Post-Default Rate and amendment of the definition of “Post-Default Rate” and (y)
to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce
the rate of interest on any Loan or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;


 


 (iii)         reduce the amount of any Fees payable to the Lenders hereunder;


 


 (iv)         postpone any date on which a scheduled payment of principal of the Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations, is to
be made;


 


 (v)          change the definitions of Commitment Percentage or Pro Rata Share or amend or otherwise modify the provisions of
Section 3.2;


 


 (vi)         amend subsection (a) or this subsection (b) of this Section 13.7;


 


 (vii)        modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any other manner that reduces the
number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision
hereof;


 


 (viii)       release (A) all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty (except
as contemplated by Section 8.14 or 8.15) or release the Parent Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, or (B) all
or substantially all of the value of the Collateral (except as contemplated by Section 8.15);


 


 (ix)          waive a Default or Event of Default under Section 11.1(a);


 


 (x)           amend, or waive the Borrower’s compliance with, Section 2.15; or


 


(c)           Non-Consenting Lenders. If any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to a proposed
amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender or each Lender
directly affected thereby and that has been approved by the Requisite Lenders, the Borrower may replace such Non-Consenting Lender
in accordance with Section 5.6; provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of
the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant
to this subsection (c)).


 






    	 	- 124 -	 



     


    

 


(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 portions of the Loan held by 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, repay the portions of the Loans, held by one
or more of the Lenders that are not Accepting Lenders. Additionally, to the extent the Borrower has elected to repay the portions
of the 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 make loans on the terms set forth in such Loan Modification
Offer in an amount not to exceed the amount of the portions of the Loan repaid 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 portions of the Loan of the Accepting Lenders, it being understood that all borrowings and repayments of the Loan
will be made pro rata among all Lenders; provided that to the extent any Permitted Amendment extends the final maturity of the
portion of the Loan held by the Accepting Lenders, the applicable portion of the Loan and related Obligations of Lenders that are
not Accepting Lenders may be repaid on the Maturity Date (as applicable) on a non-ratable basis with the portion of the Loan of
the Accepting Lenders. “Permitted Amendments” shall be an extension of the scheduled maturity of the portion of the
Loan 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 portion
of the Loan of the Accepting Lenders (in each case effective after the scheduled maturity of the Loan), (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
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 Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended
without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) 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.


 






    	 	- 125 -	 



     


    

 


(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. 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 J in accordance with the terms of
Exhibit J.


 


(g)           Release of Collateral. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and
in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by a Loan Party on any Collateral (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 and (2) 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 in connection with any exercise of remedies of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 11.2 or (iii) upon the occurrence of a Collateral Release Date in
accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 8.14 and 8.15. 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 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 so released that is in the Administrative
Agent’s possession.

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, the Administrative Agent 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 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); (d) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant
to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings or as otherwise required by Applicable Law (in which case, such Person
shall, to the extent permitted by law, inform the Borrower promptly in advance thereof); (e) to the Administrative Agent’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 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 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 or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority,
such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (i) to bank trade
publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (j) on a
confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers
with respect to the Loan Documents; (k) to any other party hereto; and (l) with the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Borrower
or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent 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 or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, any other Loan Party,
any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate.

Section 13.10       Indemnification.


 


(a)           Each of the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders and their respective Related Parties (each
referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified
Costs”): 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 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, incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding
or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments
or expenses indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.10. or 5.1. or expressly excluded from
the coverage of such Sections) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit,
cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to
herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of the Loan; (iii) any actual or
proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan; (iv) the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s entering
into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced
hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower
and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Borrower
and the Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower
and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or their
financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against, and all costs and expenses (including
counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result
of conduct of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that violates a sanction administered or enforced by OFAC;
(x) the presence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or around any of the Properties; or (xi) any violation or non-compliance
by the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but
not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any
Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental
Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower or their Subsidiaries (or
its respective properties) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that neither the Parent Guarantor
nor 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 Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, (II) amounts
in respect of taxes, deductions, withholdings or other governmental charges excluded from the definition of “Taxes”
pursuant to Section 3.10(a), (III) Indemnified Costs to the extent arising directly out of or resulting directly from claims of
one or more Indemnified Parties against another Indemnified Party (except in connection with claims or disputes (x) relating to
whether conditions to any Credit Event have been satisfied or (y) with respect to a Defaulting Lender or the determination of whether
a Lender is a Defaulting Lender), (IV) a material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under the Loan Documents,
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, and (V) yield maintenance matters to the
extent otherwise addressed in Section 5.1.


 


(b)           The Parent Guarantor’s and the Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply
to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party
in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all costs and expenses of any Indemnified Party
in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the
production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other
creditors of the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (whether
such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Parent
Guarantor or the Borrower), any account debtor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority.


 






    	 	- 128 -	 



     


    

 


(c)           This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding
filed by or against the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.


 


(d)           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 reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower
have the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to
such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior
written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).


 


(f)            If and to the extent that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for
any reason, each of the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.


 


(g)           The Parent Guarantor’s and the Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution
of, any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.


 


Section 13.11       Termination; Survival.


 


At such time as (a) all
of the Commitments have been terminated, (b)  none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any
Loan and (c) 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 been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate.
Promptly following such termination, each Lender shall promptly 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 and the Lenders are entitled under Sections
12.6., 13.2., 13.10. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect
and shall protect the Administrative Agent 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.


 






    	 	- 129 -	 



     


    

 


Section 13.12       Severability of Provisions.


 


If any provision under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall remain in full force as thought the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan
Documents.


 


Section 13.13       GOVERNING LAW.


 


THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE
FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.


 


Section 13.14       Counterparts.


 


To facilitate execution,
this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient
or required (which may be effectively delivered by facsimile, in portable document format (“PDF”) or other similar
electronic means). It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons
required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall
not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective
signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.


 


Section 13.15       Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties.


 


The obligations of
the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified herein
shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties or
Subsidiaries.


 


Section 13.16       Independence of Covenants.


 


All covenants hereunder
shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such
covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant
shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.


 






    	 	- 130 -	 



     


    

 


Section 13.17       Limitation of Liability.


 


None of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby
waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential or
punitive damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement,
any of the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letter, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents. The Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of the
Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive
damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other
Loan Documents, the Fee Letter, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.


 


Section 13.18       Entire Agreement.


 


This Agreement, the
Notes, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any
and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter
hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or
discussions of the parties hereto. To the extent any term of this Agreement is inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document
to which the parties of this Agreement are party, the term of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency.
There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.


 


Section 13.19       Construction.


 


The Administrative
Agent, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has
been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender.


 


Section 13.20       Headings.


 


The paragraph and section
headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.


 


Section 13.21       Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.


 


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


 


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


 






    	 	- 131 -	 



     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 13.22       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.

Derivatives Contracts and, accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein; and


 


WHEREAS, each Guarantor
is owned and controlled by the Borrower, owns and controls the Borrower, or is otherwise an Affiliate of the Borrower;


 


WHEREAS, each Guarantor’s
execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making, and continuing to make,

such case or proceeding); (b) all Specified Derivatives Obligations; (c) all other Obligations; (d) any and all extensions,
renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing, and (e) all expenses, including, without limitation,

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

(a)       (i) any

or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or
transfer of any of the foregoing;


 


(c)       any

(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;


 


(e)       any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to
such Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any
trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;


 


(f)        any

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
Obligations;


 


(h)       any

defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof;


 


(j)        any
defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full) which may at any time be 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;


 


(l)        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


 






    E-3


     


    

 


(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).


 


Section 4. Action
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 supplement the Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Specified Derivatives Contract; (c) sell, exchange,

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 Guarantied
Parties shall elect.


 


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 Term
Loan 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 Term Loan 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.


 






    E-4


     


    

 


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 Term Loan 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 Term Loan Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any
Guarantied Obligations existing.


 


Section 11. Payments
Free and Clear. Section 3.10. of the Term Loan 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 Term Loan 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.


 






    E-5


     


    

 


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.


 


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.


 






    E-6


     


    

 


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 LOAN AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.


 






    E-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 and (2) 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 Term Loan 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 Term Loan 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 the 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 Term Loan 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

Loan 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.

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 Term Loan Agreement, as applicable, and any Subsidiary may become a Guarantor hereunder by executing

upon the first to occur of receipt or the expiration of 3 days after the deposit in the United States Postal Service mail, postage
prepaid and addressed to the address of a Guarantor or Guarantied Party at the addresses specified; (ii) if telecopied or
sent by electronic mail, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered or sent by overnight courier, when delivered; provided,
however, that in the case of immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii), non-receipt 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.


 


Section 26. Severability.
In case any provision of this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


 


Section 27. Headings.
Section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.


 


Section 28. Limitation
of Liability. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guarantied Parties, nor any of their respective Related
Parties, shall have any liability with respect to, and each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them
upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by a Guarantor in connection
with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty, any of the other Loan Documents, any Specified Derivatives Contract
or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, the Term Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any Specified
Derivatives Contract. Each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent, any other Guarantied
Party or any of their respective Related Parties, for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out

Section 29. Electronic
Delivery of Certain Information. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that information regarding the Guarantor may be delivered
electronically pursuant to Section 9.5. of the Term Loan Agreement.


 


Section 30. Right
of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment, such
Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s Contribution
Share of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section shall be subordinate and subject in right
of payment to the Guarantied Obligations until such time as the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed
in full, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section against any other Guarantor until such
Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Subject to Section 10. of this Guaranty, this Section
shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under
Applicable Law against any other Loan Party in respect of any payment of Guarantied Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
all rights of contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever, that such Guarantor shall cease
to be a Guarantor in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents.


 


Section 31. Keepwell.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such
funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty
in respect 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.


 


Section 32. Non-Recourse.
Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Guaranty or any document or instrument delivered in connection
herewith or otherwise, and notwithstanding the fact that DBT Met Hotel Venture, LP (“DBT LP”) and Knickerbocker
Holding Partnership, L.P. (“Knickerbocker LP”) may be limited partnerships, by its acceptance of the benefits of this
Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each of the Guarantied Parties acknowledge and agree that no Non-Recourse Party has any
obligation hereunder and that no recourse shall be had hereunder or under any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith,
or for any claim based 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 doubt, Knickerbocker LP is not a Guarantor as of the Amendment No. 7 Effective
Date.

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 Term Loan 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

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 and Lenders (other than as a result
of the Administrative Agent’s 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 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 or any Lender makes
any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement. IN NO EVENT WILL ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 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.


 


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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


Reference is made to that certain Term

Pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Term

(2)           I
have reviewed the terms of the Term Loan Agreement, and have made, or caused to be made under my supervision, a review in reasonable
detail of the transactions and the condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries during the accounting period covered by the financial
statements supporting the calculations set forth on Schedule I hereto.


 


[(3)         After giving pro forma effect to
any Subsidiary that has or shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 8.14(a) of the Term Loan Agreement as

subject to a Qualified Ground Lease to, the Borrower and the Guarantors is not less than 90% of the total Unencumbered Asset Value
as of the last day of the accounting period covered by the financial statements supporting the calculations set forth on Schedule
I hereto.]1


 


(4)          To
the best of my knowledge, information or belief, after due inquiry, no Default or Event of Default exists [if such is not the
case, specify such Default or Event of Default and its nature, when it occurred and whether it is continuing and the steps being

(5)          The
representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan
Documents to which any of them is a party are true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation and
warranty is qualified by materiality, in which event such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects)
on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent (x) 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
(y) of changes in factual circumstances permitted by the Loan Documents.


 


(6)          Attached
hereto as Schedule 1 are reasonably detailed calculations establishing whether or not the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries
were in compliance with the covenants contained in Section 10.1 of the Term Loan Agreement.


 


(7)          As
of the date hereof the Unsecured Indebtedness (including the Loan but excluding the Existing Unsecured FelCor Bonds) of the Parent

Benchmark
Replacement Provisions


 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders agree as follows:


 


		(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 J
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 the 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 J, 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 J.



 


		(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.

a rate of interest 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 zero percent (0%), the Benchmark
Replacement shall be deemed to be zero percent (0.00%) for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Borrower has delivered a written notice to the Administrative Agent certifying (i) that all or any portion
of the Loan is subject to a Derivatives Contract providing for a “swap” within the meaning of section 1a(47) of the

Replacement shall not be subject to a floor of zero.

Adjustment” - means, with respect to any replacement of LIBOR with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for each applicable

any selection or recommendation of a spread 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

“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 administration of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides
is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will
continue to provide LIBOR; or



 


		(3)	a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator
of LIBOR announcing that LIBOR is no longer representative.



 


“Benchmark Transition
Start Date” – means (a) in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (i) the applicable Benchmark
Replacement Date and (ii) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective
