    For purposes of the foregoing, (a) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Categories that are one Category apart the Applicable
      Facility Fee Rate, the Applicable Letter of Credit Commission and the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the Category of the higher of the two ratings; (b) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s
      and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Categories that are more than one Category apart, the Applicable Facility Fee Rate, the Applicable Letter of Credit Commission and the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to
      the Category next below that of the higher of the two ratings; (c) if only one of Moody’s and S&P shall have in effect a rating for the Index Debt, the Applicable Facility Fee Rate, the Applicable Letter of Credit Commission and the Applicable
      Margin shall be determined by reference to the Category of such rating; (d) if neither Moody’s nor S&P shall have in effect a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this
      definition), then the applicable rating shall be determined by reference to Category 5; and (e) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a
      change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency, irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the Company to
      the Administrative Agent and the Banks pursuant to Section 5.01 or otherwise. Each change in the Applicable Facility Fee Rate, the Applicable Letter of Credit Commission and the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on the
      effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of
      rating corporate debt obligations, the Company and the Banks shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any
      such amendment, the Applicable Facility Fee Rate, the Applicable Letter of Credit Commission and the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the rating of Moody’s and/or S&P, as the case may be, most recently in effect prior to such
      change or cessation. References herein to “Applicable Margin” shall refer to the Applicable Margin for the relevant Type of Loan, as applicable.

    “Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any Bank, the percentage of the total Commitments represented by such Bank’s Commitment; provided that in the case of Section 2.17 when a Defaulting Bank
      shall exist, “Applicable Percentage” shall mean the percentage of the total Commitments (disregarding any Defaulting Bank’s Commitment) represented by such Bank’s Commitment. If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages

    THE CREDITS

     

    SECTION 2.01    Letters of Credit.

     

    (a)          General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the request of any Account Party, at any time and from time to time during the Commitment Availability Period, (i) each Bank agrees to
      issue Syndicated Letters of Credit and (ii) each Fronting Issuing Bank agrees to issue Fronted Letters of Credit, in each case denominated in Dollars for the account of such Account Party, that will not result in (x) the aggregate outstanding amount
      of the Credit Exposures of the Banks exceeding the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Banks, (y) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Exposure of such Bank exceeding the aggregate amount of the Commitment of such Bank and (z) with
      respect to Fronted Letters of Credit, the aggregate undrawn amount of Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Issuing Bank exceeding its Fronted LC Commitment.

     

    Each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be a standby letter of credit in such form as the relevant Account Party shall request and which (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine in good faith does not contain any
      obligations, or diminish any rights, of any Bank with respect thereto or other terms thereof that are inconsistent with the terms hereof or (ii) the Required Banks shall approve. Without the prior consent of each Bank, no Syndicated Letter of Credit
      may be issued that would vary the several and not joint nature of the obligations of the Banks thereunder, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be issued by all of the Banks having Commitments at the time of issuance as a single multi-bank
      letter of credit, but the obligation of each Bank thereunder shall be several and not joint, based upon its Applicable Percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as of the
      Effective Date, each Continued Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit shall automatically be deemed issued and continued as a Syndicated Letter of Credit hereunder by all of the Banks having Commitments on the Effective Date. From and after the
      Effective Date, the obligation of each Bank in respect of each Continued Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be several and not joint, based upon its Applicable Percentage and the aggregate undrawn amount thereof, and each Continued Existing
      Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be a Syndicated Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement. JPMorgan shall, on the Effective Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter, amend each Continued Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit as to, as
      of the Effective Date the names of the Banks that will be issuing banks under, and party to, each Continued Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit and the Banks’ respective Applicable Percentages thereunder.  JPMorgan shall have no obligation to extend
      any Continued Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit and each applicable Account Party shall endeavor to replace each Continued Existing Syndicated Letter of Credit with a Syndicated Letter of Credit issued by the Administrative Agent on the Effective
      Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter.

     

    Each Fronted Letter of Credit shall be a standby letter of credit in such form as the relevant Account Party shall request and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank
      with respect thereto. Each Fronted Letter of Credit shall be issued by, and be the sole obligation as issuing bank of, the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank. No Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to become a Fronting Issuing Bank hereunder and
      any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of each Bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any addition or removal of a Fronting Issuing Bank hereunder or change in its Fronted LC Commitment may be effected only with the
      agreement of such Fronting Issuing Bank and the Company (and with the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)) (provided that no such change shall increase the Commitment of any Bank). Subject to the
      terms and conditions hereof, as of the Effective Date, each Continued Existing Fronted Letter of Credit shall automatically be deemed issued and continued as a Fronted Letter of Credit hereunder by JPMorgan as the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank
      with respect thereto, and each Bank shall have a participation in each Continued Existing Fronted Letter of Credit equal to such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn thereunder in accordance with the terms
      hereof.

      hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent and (in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit) the applicable Fronting
      Issuing Bank (if by hand delivery or telecopy, not later than noon (New York City time) on the Domestic Business Day prior to, and if by approved electronic communication, not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of, the requested
      date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Syndicated Letter of Credit or Fronted Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of
      issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be (which shall be a Domestic Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.01(d)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and
      address of the beneficiary thereof and the terms and conditions of (and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend, as the case may be) such Letter of Credit.

     

    If requested by the Administrative Agent or (in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit) the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent, such Account Party also shall submit a letter of credit
      application on standard form of the Person that is serving as Administrative Agent or such Fronting Issuing Bank, as applicable, in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions
      of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by any Account Party to, or entered into by any Account Party with, the Person that is serving as Administrative Agent or such
      Fronting Issuing Bank, as applicable, relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

     

    If any Letter of Credit shall provide for the automatic extension of the expiry date thereof unless the Administrative Agent or (in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit) the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank shall
      give notice to the beneficiary thereof on or before the time specified therein that such expiry date shall not be extended (each such Letter of Credit, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit” and such notice, a “Non-Extension Notice”), then the
      Administrative Agent or such Fronting Issuing Bank, as applicable, will give a Non-Extension Notice under such Evergreen Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms if requested to do so by notice given to the Administrative Agent or such Fronting
      Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) by (i) at any time a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Required Banks, (ii) at any time on or after the date that the Commitments are terminated, any Bank or (iii) the applicable

      each Letter of Credit the Account Parties shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Exposures of the Banks shall not exceed
      the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Banks.

     

    In no event may more than 25 issuances, amendments, renewals and/or extensions of Letters of Credit occur on any day, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree.

     

    (d)          Expiry Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (provided
      that such Letter of Credit may contain “evergreen” provisions for the renewal or extension thereof to a date not later than one year after the then current expiry date thereof) or (ii) the first anniversary of the Commitment Termination Date. The
      Company shall cause any Letter of Credit outstanding on or after the date that is ten Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date to be cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.03(e) on or prior to such date and for so long as such
      Letter of Credit is outstanding.

     

    (e)          Obligation of Banks. With respect to any Syndicated Letter of Credit, the obligation of any Bank under such Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be several and not joint and shall at any time be in an
      amount equal to such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit, and each Syndicated Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide.

     

    By the issuance of a Fronted Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Fronted Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) (including the deemed issuance hereunder of the Continued Existing Fronted Letters of Credit) by
      any Fronting Issuing Bank, and without any further action on the part of any Fronting Issuing Bank or the Banks, the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Bank, and each Bank hereby acquires from such Fronting Issuing Bank, a
      participation in such Fronted Letter of Credit equal to such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Fronted Letter of Credit. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
      participations in respect of Fronted Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Fronted Letter of Credit or the occurrence and
      continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the applicable
      Fronting Issuing Bank, such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Fronting Issuing Bank in respect of any Fronted Letter of Credit, promptly upon the request of such Fronting Issuing Bank at any time from the time such LC
      Disbursement is made until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the applicable Account Party or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to such Account Party for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any
      offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Account Party pursuant to Section 2.03(a) in respect of any Fronted Letter of Credit, the Administrative
      Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Fronting Issuing Bank, then to the Banks and such Fronting Issuing Bank as
      their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not relieve any Account Party of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

      Applicable Percentages as of the effective date of such amendment and (B) in the case of each outstanding Fronted Letter of Credit, the participation interest of each Bank therein shall automatically be adjusted to reflect, and each Bank shall have a
      participation in such Fronted Letter of Credit equal to, such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Fronted Letter of Credit after giving effect to such event. The foregoing references to the
      Administrative Agent shall apply with equal effect to JPMorgan with respect to the Continued Existing Fronted Letters of Credit.

      its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer of the Person that is serving as the Administrative Agent, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such Bank each Syndicated Letter of Credit to be issued by the Banks
      hereunder. Promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Bank will furnish to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to
      demonstrate that the Administrative Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Bank to execute and deliver each Syndicated Letter of Credit.  The foregoing references to the Administrative Agent shall apply with equal effect to JPMorgan

      reimbursement obligations, (ix) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of such reimbursement obligations against any other Account Party or the Guarantor of any of such reimbursement obligations, or (x) any other event or circumstance
      whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Account Party hereunder.

     

    Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank nor any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment
      or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication
      under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond their control; provided that the foregoing
      shall not be construed to excuse the Administrative Agent or a Bank from liability to any Account Party to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Account Parties to
      the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Account Party that are caused by (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, or (y) in the case of any Bank, its failure to make
      an LC Disbursement in respect of any drawing properly made under a Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.03(c), in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties hereto
      expressly agree that:

     

    
      -22-

      
        


    

    (i)           the Administrative Agent or (in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit) the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial
      compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in
      substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

     

    (ii)          the Administrative Agent or (in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit) the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such
      documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

     

    (iii)         this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by the Administrative Agent or (in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit) the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank when
      determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

     

    (iv)         The foregoing references to the Administrative Agent shall apply with equal effect to JPMorgan with respect to the Continued Existing Syndicated Letters of Credit.

     

    (c)          Disbursement Procedures. (i) The following provisions shall apply to any Syndicated Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent or, with respect to Continued Existing Syndicated Letters of Credit,
      JPMorgan, shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under any Syndicated Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly after such examination or, with
      respect to Continued Existing Syndicated Letters of Credit, promptly upon request from JPMorgan, (A) notify each of the Banks, the Company and the Account Party by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and (B) deliver to each
      Bank a copy of each document purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Syndicated Letter of Credit. With respect to any drawing properly made under any such Syndicated Letter of Credit, each Bank will make an LC Disbursement in respect
      of such Syndicated Letter of Credit in accordance with its liability under such Syndicated Letter of Credit and this Agreement, such LC Disbursement to be made to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose
      by notice to the Banks. Bank of America, as Administrative Agent, will make any such LC Disbursement available to the beneficiary of such Syndicated Letter of Credit by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account
      identified by such beneficiary in connection with such demand for payment. Promptly following any LC Disbursement by any Bank in respect of any such Syndicated Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent will notify the Company and the applicable
      Account Party of such LC Disbursement; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Account Party of its obligation to reimburse the Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement or the Guarantor of
      its guarantee of such obligation.

     

    
      -23-

      
        


    

    (ii)          The following provisions shall apply to any Fronted Letter of Credit. The applicable Fronting Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all
      documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Fronted Letter of Credit. The applicable Fronting Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by telecopy)
      of such demand for payment and whether such Fronting Issuing Bank has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Account Party of its
      obligation to reimburse such Fronting Issuing Bank and the Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

     

    (d)          Interim Interest. If any LC Disbursement is made, then, unless the Account Parties shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made (without regard for when notice
      thereof is given), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Account Party reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum
      equal to (i) 1% plus the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin to but excluding the date three Domestic Business Days after such LC Disbursement and (ii) from and including the date three Domestic Business Days after such LC
      Disbursement, 3% plus the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

     

    (e)          Provision of Cover. In the event the Company and the Account Parties shall have provided (or be required to provide) cash collateral for outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.01(d),
      Section 2.17 or Section 6.01, the Administrative Agent will establish a separate cash collateral account (the “Collateral Account”), which may be a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
      in New York (the “NY UCC”)), in the name and under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a securities account, in respect of which the Administrative Agent is the “entitlement holder” (as defined in
      Section 8-102(a)(7) of the NY UCC)) into which there shall be deposited from time to time such amounts paid to the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for the applicable LC Exposure. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due
      of all reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements, all interest thereon, and all other obligations of the Account Parties under the Credit Documents whether or not then outstanding or due and payable (such obligations being herein
      collectively called the “Secured Obligations”), each of the Company and the other Account Parties hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the Administrative Agent as provided herein, a security
      interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in
      the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Secured Obligations until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be
      subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section 2.03(e). Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such short-term investments as the Administrative Agent shall determine in
      its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent and shall be credited to the Collateral Account. At any time, and from time to time, while an
      Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, if instructed by the Required Banks in their sole discretion, liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and credit the proceeds thereof to the Collateral Account
      and apply or cause to be applied such proceeds and any other balances in the Collateral Account to the payment of any of the Secured Obligations due and payable. If at any time (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) all of the Secured
      Obligations then due have been paid in full but Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or
      representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. When all of the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, all Letters of Credit have
      expired or been terminated and the Commitments have terminated, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to the Company, for account of the Company and the other Account Parties, as applicable, against receipt but without any recourse,
      warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Collateral Account.

    SECTION 2.04    Loans. At any time and from time to time during the Commitment Availability Period each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans in Dollars to
      the Account Parties pursuant to this Section in amounts such that (x) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Exposures of the Banks shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Banks and (y) the aggregate outstanding amount
      of the Credit Exposure of such Bank shall not exceed the Commitment of such Bank. Each Borrowing (i) of Euro-Dollar Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) of Base Rate Loans shall
      be in a principal amount of $500,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000 and, in each case, shall be made from the several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Base Rate
      Borrowing may be in an amount that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.03(a). Within the foregoing limits, the Account Parties may borrow under this Section, repay or, to the extent permitted by
      Section 2.12, prepay Loans and reborrow at any time during the Commitment Availability Period under this Section. Each Bank may, at its option, make any Loan available to any Subsidiary Account Party that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
      other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Bank to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such
      Subsidiary Account Party to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

    SECTION 2.05    Notice of Borrowings; Interest Elections.

     

    (a)          The applicable Account Party shall give the Administrative Agent a notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) in writing, (A) signed by a Responsible Officer, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
      (x) the date of each Base Rate Borrowing by such Account Party and (y) the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing by such Account Party, specifying:

     

    (i)           the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing,

     

    (ii)          the aggregate amount (in Dollars) of such Borrowing,

     

    (iii)         whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans,

     

    (iv)         in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period, and

     

    (v)          whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be LC Reimbursement Loans

     

    or (B) such other form of notice as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent).

     

    (b)          Interest Elections. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
      specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the applicable Account Party may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor,
      all as provided in this subsection (b). The applicable Account Party may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Banks holding the
      Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Account Party shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by
      the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.05(a) if such Account Party were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election
      Request shall be in writing, irrevocable and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Account Party. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section
      2.04:

     

    
      -26-

      
        


    

    (i)           the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated
      to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

     

    (ii)          the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

     

    (iii)         whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Euro-Dollar Borrowing; and

     

    (iv)         if the resulting Borrowing is a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the
      definition of the term “Interest Period”.

     

    If any such Interest Election Request requests a Euro-Dollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Account Party shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following
      receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Bank of the details thereof and of such Bank’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. If the applicable Account Party fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
      Request with respect to a Euro-Dollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a
      Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Banks, so notifies the Account Parties, then, so long as an Event
      of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Euro-Dollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Euro-Dollar Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period
      applicable thereto.  After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Borrowings from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans of the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.

     

    SECTION 2.06    Funding of Loans.

     

    (a)          Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s share of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not
      thereafter be revocable by the applicable Account Party.

     

    (b)          Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Bank participating therein shall (except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section) make available its share of such
      Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 10.01. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in
      Article III has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the applicable Account Party at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

     

    

    
      -27-

      
        


    

    (c)          If any Bank makes a new Loan hereunder to an Account Party on a day on which such Account Party is to repay all or any part of an outstanding Loan or unreimbursed LC Disbursement from such Bank, such Bank
      shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by such Bank to the Administrative Agent as
      provided in subsection (b) of this Section, or remitted by such Account Party to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.13, as the case may be.

     

    (d)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such
      Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsections (b) and (c) of this Section and the Administrative Agent may, in
      reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Account Party on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and such Account
      Party severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Account Party until the date such amount is
      repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Account Party, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.09 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the
      higher of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so
      repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

     

    SECTION 2.07    Evidence of Loans.

     

    (a)          Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of each Account Party to such Bank resulting from each Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of
      principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder, and setting forth the Commitments of the Banks.

     

    (b)          The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Account Parties, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the
      names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent clear error, and
      the Account Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for
      inspection by the Account Parties and any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

    

    

    
      -28-

      
        


    

    (c)          The failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records required by this Section 2.07 or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Account Parties to repay
      the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     

    (d)          Any Bank may request that the Loans of such Bank to an Account Party be evidenced by a single Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that it
      evidences solely Loans of the relevant Type, payable by such Account Party to such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office. In such event, such Account Party shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a Note payable to such Bank
      (or, if requested by such Bank, to such Bank and its registered assigns). Thereafter, once recorded in and to the extent consistent with the information contained in the Register, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all
      times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.06) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, to such payee and its registered assigns). For any Loan evidenced by a Note pursuant to this clause
      (d), any transfer of a Note must be recorded in the Register in order to be effective.

     

    SECTION 2.08    Maturity of Loans. Each Loan shall mature, and each Account Party hereby unconditionally promises to pay the unpaid principal of each Loan made to such Account Party (together with accrued
      interest thereon), on the Commitment Termination Date.

     

    SECTION 2.09    Interest Rates of Loans.

     

    (a)          Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate
      for such day plus the Applicable Margin. Such interest shall accrue and be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety (and, if later, the date the Loans shall be
      paid in full). Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable
      Margin.

     

    (b)          Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted LIBOR plus the
      Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable (i) for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof and (ii) in the event of any
      conversion of any Euro-Dollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Euro-Dollar Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

     

    (c)          Any overdue principal of any Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate
      per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Applicable Margin plus the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum (as of the date of determination) at which one-day (or, if such
      amount due remains unpaid more than three Euro-Dollar Business Days, then for such other period of time not longer than six months as the Administrative Agent may select) deposits in Dollars in an amount approximately equal to such overdue payment
      due to the Person serving as the Administrative Agent are offered to such Person in the London interbank market for the applicable period determined as provided above (or, if the circumstances described in Section 8.01(a)(i) or (ii)  shall exist, at
      a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin). Any overdue interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment
      thereof is due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

     

    
      -29-

      
        


    

    (d)          The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and other amounts hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Account Party and the
      Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     

    SECTION 2.10    Fees.

     

    (a)          The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Bank a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Facility Fee Rate, (i) prior to the termination of such Bank’s Commitment,
      on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Bank (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date that the Commitments terminate and (ii) if such Bank continues to have any Credit Exposure
      after its Commitment terminates, on the daily amount of such Bank’s Credit Exposure from and including the date its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date such Bank ceases to have any Credit Exposure. Accrued facility fees shall be payable
      on each Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after such date shall be payable on
      demand.

     

    (b)          The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Bank a letter of credit fee with respect to Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Letter of Credit Commission on
      the daily amount available to be drawn under all outstanding Letters of Credit during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Bank’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Bank
      ceases to have any LC Exposure. Letter of credit fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such Business Day to occur; provided
      that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after such date shall be payable on demand.

     

    (c)          The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Fronting Issuing Bank a fronting fee with respect to each Fronted Letter of Credit issued by such Fronting Issuing Bank, which shall
      accrue at a rate per annum agreed in writing between the Company and such Fronting Issuing Bank (and notified to the Administrative Agent) on the average daily aggregate undrawn amount of each such Fronted Letters of Credit during the period from and
      including the date of issuance thereof to but excluding the later of the expiry date thereof and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure thereunder. Fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the
      tenth Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such Business Day to occur; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after such date shall
      be payable on demand.

     

    
      -30-

      
        


    

    (d)          The Account Parties agree to pay, on demand, to the Administrative Agent (with respect to Syndicated Letters of Credit), JPMorgan (with respect to Continued Existing Syndicated Letters of Credit), and each
      Fronting Issuing Bank (with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit issued by it), in each case for its own account, all commissions, charges, costs and expenses with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal and extension of each such Letter of
      Credit and drawings and other transactions relating thereto in amounts customarily charged from time to time in like circumstances by the Person that is serving as the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Continued Existing Syndicated Letters of
      Credit, JPMorgan), or such Fronting Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or, as may be separately agreed from time to time by the Company on behalf of the Account Parties and the Administrative Agent, JPMorgan, or such Fronting Issuing Bank, as the case
      may be.

     

    (e)          All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, as applicable, to the Banks entitled thereto. Fees paid hereunder
      shall not be refundable under any circumstances. Any overdue fees or other amounts, other than principal or interest, shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof is due to but excluding the date of
      actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

    (c)          The Company shall have the right, at any time or from time to time prior to the date that is 30 days prior to the Commitment Termination Date, to increase the aggregate Commitments hereunder by an aggregate
      amount of up to $250,000,000, by causing one or more Additional Commitment Banks (which may include any existing Bank) to provide a (or, in the case of an existing Bank, to increase its) Commitment (each such increase, an “Commitment Increase”),




      provided that (i) no Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to become an Additional Commitment Bank and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of each Bank, (ii) each Additional Commitment Bank shall have entered into an
      agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Bank shall provide a Commitment (or, if such Additional Commitment Bank is an existing Bank, pursuant to which its
      Commitment shall be increased), (iii) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, such Commitment of any Additional Commitment Bank which is not an existing Bank shall be in an amount of at least $25,000,000 and (iv) unless the Administrative
      Agent otherwise agrees, each Commitment Increase shall be in an amount of at least $25,000,000. Each such Additional Commitment Bank shall enter into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent pursuant
      to which such Additional Commitment Bank shall, as of effective date of such Commitment Increase (which shall be a Domestic Business Day and, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, on which no issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
      any Letter of Credit is scheduled to occur, provide a Commitment (or, if any such Additional Commitment Bank is an existing Bank, increase its Commitment in the amount specified therein and (if not an existing Bank) become a Bank hereunder.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section shall be effective unless:

     

    (i)           the Company shall have given the Administrative Agent notice of any such increase at least three Domestic Business Days prior to the relevant effective date of such Commitment Increase;

     

    (ii)          no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such effective date; and

     

    (iii)         each of the representations and warranties of each Account Party contained in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.04(e) and 4.05 as to
      any matter which has theretofore been disclosed in writing by the Account Parties to the Banks) shall be true on and as of such effective date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or
      warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

     

    Each notice under clause (i) above shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Company and the Subsidiary Account Parties as to the matters specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above. On the effective date of each Commitment
      Increase, the Company shall simultaneously (i) prepay in full the outstanding Loans (if any) held by the Banks immediately prior to giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase, (ii) if the Company shall have so requested in accordance with this
      Agreement, borrow new Loans from all Banks (including, if applicable, any new Banks) such that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans are held ratably by the Banks in accordance with their respective Commitments (after giving effect to such
      Commitment Increase) and (iii) pay to the Banks the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.14.

    SECTION 2.12    Optional Prepayments.

     

    (a)          An Account Party may, upon at least one Domestic Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Base Rate Borrowing made to such Account Party in whole at any time, or from time to time in
      part in amounts aggregating $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

     

    (b)          An Account Party may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least three Domestic Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, prepay any Euro-Dollar Borrowing made
      to such Account Party in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with (x) accrued interest thereon to the date of
      prepayment and (y) all losses and expenses (if any) relating thereto which are (i) determined pursuant to Section 2.14 and (ii) notified to such Account Party by the relevant Bank at least one Domestic Business Day prior to the date of such
      prepayment, provided that the failure of any Bank to so notify such Account Party of the amount of any such loss or expense shall not relieve such Account Party of its obligation to pay the same.

     

    (c)          Each prepayment pursuant to this Section shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in the relevant Borrowing being prepaid. Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to
      this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the applicable Account Party. Each notice
      of prepayment shall be in such form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed
      by a Responsible Officer.

     

    SECTION 2.13    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment.

     

    (a)          Each Account Party shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether reimbursement of LC Disbursements, principal of or interest on the Loans, fees, amounts under Article VIII or
      otherwise) or under any other Credit Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received
      after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Domestic Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
      Administrative Agent at its Payment Account, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Credit Document, and except that payments pursuant to Section 10.03 and Article VIII shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The
      Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Domestic Business Day
      or Euro-Dollar Business Day (as applicable), the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic or Euro-Dollar Business Day (as applicable) and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for
      the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made in Dollars.

     

    
      -33-

      
        


    

    (b)          If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of unreimbursed LC Disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit or interest thereon,
      principal of or interest on the Loans and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder in respect of such Letters of Credit or Loans (as applicable), pro rata among the Banks in
      accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to the Banks, and (ii) second, to pay such unreimbursed LC Disbursements or principal in respect of Loans (as applicable) then due hereunder, pro rata among the Banks in accordance with the
      amounts of unreimbursed LC Disbursements or principal of Loans then due to the Banks.

     

    (c)          Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each reimbursement of LC Disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit and each payment of principal in respect of Loans shall be for account of the Banks,
      pro rata in accordance with the amounts of unreimbursed LC Disbursements or principal of Loans (as the case may be) then due and payable to the Banks; (ii) each termination or reduction of the amount of Commitments under Section 2.11 shall be applied
      to the respective Commitments of the Banks, pro rata in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages; and (iii) each payment of interest, facility fees and letter of credit fees shall be for account of the Banks, pro rata in accordance
      with the amounts of interest, facility fees and letter of credit fees (as the case may be) then due and payable to the Banks.

     

    (d)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company or the applicable Account Party prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Banks
      hereunder that neither the Company nor such Account Party will make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company or such Account Party made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
      assumption, distribute to the Banks the amount due. In such event, if the Company or such Account Party has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Banks severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
      distributed to such Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined
      by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules for interbank compensation.

     

    (e)          If any Bank shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.01(e), 2.03(a), 2.06(d), 2.13(d) or 7.07, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding
      any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank to satisfy such Bank’s obligations
      to it or any such Fronting Issuing Bank under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of
      such Bank under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

    SECTION 2.14    Funding Losses. If an Account Party makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan (pursuant to Article VI or VIII or otherwise), or converts any Euro-Dollar Loan, on any day
      other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or the end of an applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.09(c), or if an Account Party fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Euro-Dollar Loans after notice has been
      given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.05(a), 2.05(b) or 2.12(b), as applicable, such Account Party shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective
      participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow, provided
      that such Bank shall have delivered to such Account Party a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     

    SECTION 2.15    Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
      (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

     

    SECTION 2.16    Provisions Relating to NAIC Approved Banks.

     

    (a)          Each Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts in order to, at all times, (i) be listed on the NAIC Approved Bank List or (ii) maintain in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement with a Person which is
      listed on the NAIC Approved Bank List to act as a Confirming Bank for such Bank in respect of its obligations under the Syndicated Letters of Credit (which Person, prior to entering in such Confirming Bank Agreement, shall be subject to the prior
      written consent of each of the Company and the Administrative Agent, such consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld). If any Bank shall enter into a Confirming Bank Agreement hereunder at any time, it shall promptly furnish a copy
      thereof to the Company and the Administrative Agent. If at any time any Bank shall cease to be a NAIC Approved Bank, such Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent and forthwith comply with its obligations under this
      subsection (a).

     

    (b)          If at any time any Bank shall not be listed on the NAIC Approved Bank List and shall not have in effect a Confirming Bank Agreement with a Person which is so listed (provided such Bank is not a
      Defaulting Bank at such time), such Bank shall be obligated to provide cash collateral for its LC Exposure on the following terms:

     

    
      -35-

      
        


    

    (i)           With respect to any then existing Fronted LC Exposure of such Bank, at the option of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank, such Bank shall forthwith deliver to the Administrative Agent an
      amount in cash equal to the maximum amount of such Fronted LC Exposure (such amount provided in respect of such Fronted LC Exposure being herein called “Fronted LC Cash Collateral”). Upon receipt of any Fronted LC Cash Collateral (including
      any additional cash collateral provided under clause (iii) below that constitutes Fronted LC Cash Collateral), the Administrative Agent will establish one or more cash collateral accounts (which, in each case, may be a “securities account” (as
      defined in Section 8-501 of the NY UCC, in the name and under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a securities account, in respect of which the Administrative Agent is the “entitlement holder” (as defined in
      Section 8-102(a)(7) of the NY UCC)) (each such cash collateral account, a “Fronted LC Collateral Account”) and deposit therein the relevant portion of such Fronted LC Cash Collateral (including the relevant portion of any additional cash
      collateral provided by such Bank in respect of its additional Fronted LC Exposure pursuant to clause (iii) below) as collateral solely for the benefit of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank to secure such Bank’s obligations in respect of the Fronted
      LC Exposure with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Issuing Bank and such Bank hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank, a security interest in all of its
      right, title and interest in and to each Fronted LC Collateral Account and the balances from time to time therein (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in a Fronted LC Collateral
      Account shall not constitute payment of any such obligations until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein.

     

    (ii)          With respect to any then existing Syndicated LC Exposure of such Bank, subject to the payment by such Bank of a fee reasonably determined by Bank of America, Bank of America agrees to act
      as a Confirming Bank for (and to enter into a Confirming Bank Agreement with) such Bank with respect to such Bank’s then existing Syndicated LC Exposure (and such additional Syndicated LC Exposure of such Bank, to the extent provided in clause (iii)
      below) and (unless not required by Bank of America in its sole discretion) such Bank shall forthwith deliver to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to the maximum amount of such Syndicated LC Exposure (such amount provided in respect of
      such Syndicated LC Exposure being herein called the “Syndicated LC Cash Collateral”). Upon receipt of any Syndicated LC Cash Collateral (including any additional cash collateral provided under clause (iii) below that constitutes Syndicated LC
      Cash Collateral) by the Administrative Agent from such Bank, the Administrative Agent will establish a cash collateral account (of the type described in clause (i) above) (the “Syndicated LC Collateral Account” and, together with each Fronted
      LC Collateral Account, each a “LC Collateral Account”) and deposit therein such Syndicated LC Cash Collateral (including any additional cash collateral provided by such Bank in respect of its additional Syndicated LC Exposure pursuant to
      clause (iii) below) as collateral solely for the benefit of Bank of America to secure such Bank’s obligations to Bank of America under such Confirming Bank Agreement in respect of such Bank’s Syndicated LC Exposure and such Bank hereby pledges and
      grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Bank of America, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Syndicated LC Collateral Account and the balances from time to time therein (including the investments
      and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Syndicated LC Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any such obligations until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein.

     

    
      -36-

      
        


    

    (iii)         If at any time thereafter the Account Parties shall request additional Letters of Credit and at such time such Bank shall not be a NAIC Approved Bank (provided such Bank is not a
      Defaulting Bank), such Bank shall provide additional cash collateral in respect of its Applicable Percentage of the maximum amount of the LC Exposure under such Letter of Credit in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above, as applicable (provided
      that, with respect to any Fronted LC Exposure, such collateral shall be provided only at the option of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank) and, upon receipt of such collateral, the Administrative Agent shall deposit, hold and apply such collateral
      as Fronted LC Cash Collateral or Syndicated LC Cash Collateral, as applicable, in accordance with this subsection (b).

     

    (iv)         Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in any LC Collateral Account established under this subsection (b) shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided
      herein. Amounts on deposit in each LC Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such short-term investments as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion or, in the case of any Fronted LC
      Collateral Account, as the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank for whose benefits the funds therein have been pledged may direct the Administrative Agent or, in the case of the Syndicated LC Collateral Account, as Bank of America may direct the
      Administrative Agent. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent and shall be credited to the relevant LC Collateral Account for the benefit of the Person
      for which such funds are being held. At any time, and from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall, if instructed by (in the case of any Fronted LC Collateral Account) the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank in its sole discretion or (in the case
      of the Syndicated LC Collateral Account) Bank of America in its sole discretion, as the case may be, liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and credit the proceeds thereof to such LC Collateral Account and apply or cause to be applied the
      balances therein to the payment of such Bank’s obligations then due and payable which are secured by such balances.

     

    (v)          If at any time the Letters of Credit in respect of any LC Exposure for which cash collateral has been provided by such Bank under this subsection (b) shall no longer exist, the
      Administrative Agent shall, at the request of such Bank, deliver to such Bank (with the concurrence of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank or Bank of America, as applicable), against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation
      whatsoever, the remaining balance in the relevant LC Collateral Account.

     

    (vi)          If at any time such Bank shall have become a NAIC Approved Bank, subject, in the case of any Syndicated LC Exposure of such Bank, to (x) the termination of the Confirming Bank Agreement
      entered into between Bank of America and such Bank releasing Bank of America’s obligation thereunder to act a Confirming Bank for such Bank and (y) with the consent of the beneficiary under each Syndicated Letter of Credit to the extent required by
      the terms thereof or under applicable law (including, if applicable, the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits governing such Syndicated Letter of Credit), the amendment of each such Syndicated Letter of Credit by the Administrative
      Agent to reinstate such Bank’s liability thereunder (and terminate Bank of America’s liability thereunder as such Confirming Bank), the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of such Bank, deliver to such Bank (with the concurrence of the
      applicable Fronting Issuing Bank (with respect to any Fronted LC Exposure) or Bank of America (with respect to any Syndicated LC Exposure)), against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the remaining balance in the
      relevant LC Collateral Account.

     

    
      -37-

      
        


    

    (c)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any Bank shall not be a NAIC Approved Bank, the Company may, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank, at the
      expense of such Bank, to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Letters of Credit issued, or participated in, by
      such Bank to any Person that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if it accepts such assignment) with (and subject to) the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); provided
      that such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding amount of its LC Disbursements (including participations therein), principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
      hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding LC Disbursements, Loans and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Account Parties (in the case of all other amounts) (provided that the Account Parties may deduct, or cause
      such assignee to deduct, from amounts payable by them or it, as applicable, to such Bank hereunder all fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Account Parties in effecting such assignment).

     

    SECTION 2.17    Defaulting Banks. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a
      Defaulting Bank:

     

    (a)          facility fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(a);

     

    (b)          the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment,
      waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.05); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Bank in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Bank or each Bank
      affected thereby;

     

    (c)          with respect to any Fronted LC Exposure (if any):

     

    (i)           all or any part of the Fronted LC Exposure of such Defaulting Bank (other than such Fronted LC Exposure that is cash collateralized pursuant to Section 2.16(b)) shall be reallocated among
      the Non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Banks’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all
      Non-Defaulting Banks’ Commitments and (y) such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Bank, cause such non-Defaulting Bank’s Credit Exposure to exceed its Commitment (and, if such reallocation can only partially be effected, such
      reallocation shall be made ratably among the then outstanding Fronted Letters of Credit, unless otherwise agreed by the Fronting Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent);

     

    
      -38-

      
        


    

    (ii)          if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the relevant Account Party under each outstanding Fronted Letter of Credit shall within one
      Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank only such Account Party’s obligations in respect thereof corresponding to such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure
      thereunder (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(e) for so long as such Fronted LC Exposure is outstanding;

     

    (iii)         if the Account Parties cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall not be required to pay any letter of
      credit fees to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure during the period and to the extent that such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

     

    (iv)         if the Fronted LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Banks is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the letter of credit fees payable to the Banks pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be
      adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Banks’ Applicable Percentages;

     

    (v)          if all or any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any
      rights or remedies of any applicable Fronting Issuing Bank or any other Bank hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Bank (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Commitment that was
      utilized by such Fronted LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.10(b) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s Fronted LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Fronting Issuing Banks until and to the extent that such
      Fronted LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;

     

    (vi)         so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank, no Fronting Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Fronted Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related
      exposure and the Defaulting Bank’s then outstanding Fronted LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Account Parties in accordance with Section 2.17(c), and
      participating interests in any newly issued or increased Fronted Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Bank shall not participate therein); and

     

    
      -39-

      
        


    

    (vii)        if (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Parent of any Bank shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Fronting
      Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Bank has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Bank commits to extend credit, such Fronting Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or
      increase any Fronted Letter of Credit, unless such Fronting Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Account Parties or such Bank, satisfactory to such Fronting Issuing Bank, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Bank

      Confirming Bank for such Bank pursuant to Section 2.16(b)) shall be amended by the Administrative Agent to specify the Banks that are parties to such Syndicated Letter of Credit (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, such Bank), after giving effect to

    (e)          until such time as the readjustments with respect to such Defaulting Bank are effected pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section, the Company may, upon notice to such Defaulting Bank and the Administrative
      Agent, require such Bank, at the expense of such Defaulting Bank, to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
      Letters of Credit issued, or participated in, by such Defaulting Bank to any Person that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if it accepts such assignment) with (and subject to) the consent of the Administrative Agent
      (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); provided that (i) such Defaulting Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding amount of its LC Disbursements (including participations therein), principal of its
      Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding LC Disbursements, Loans and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Account Parties (in the case of
      all other amounts) (provided that the Account Parties may deduct, or cause such assignee to deduct, from amounts payable by them or it, as applicable, to such Bank hereunder all fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Account
      Parties in effecting such assignment) and (ii) concurrently with such assignment, to the extent any LC Exposure of such Defaulting Bank theretofore shall have been reallocated pursuant to this Section, the Credit Exposures of the Banks (including,
      after giving effect to such assignment, such assignee) shall be readjusted (and payments made by the relevant parties) in a manner consistent with subsection (f) of this Section, such that, after giving effect thereto, the Banks (including such
      assignee, but not such Defaulting Bank) shall hold the Credit Exposures then outstanding in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages; and

     

    (f)          in the event that the Administrative Agent, the Account Parties and (to the extent there shall be Fronted Letters of Credit then outstanding) each Fronting Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Bank has
      adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then such Bank shall cease to be a Defaulting Bank and the Credit Exposures of the Banks shall be readjusted as follows:

     

    (i)           with respect to any Fronted LC Exposure then outstanding, such Fronted LC Exposure shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment and such Bank shall purchase at
      par such of the unreimbursed LC Disbursements then outstanding (if any) of the other Banks in respect of such Fronted LC Exposure as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such LC Disbursements in
      accordance with its Applicable Percentage;

     

    
      -41-

      
        


    

    (ii)          with respect to any Syndicated LC Exposure then outstanding, (x) with the consent of the beneficiary under each outstanding Syndicated Letter of Credit to the extent required by the terms
      thereof or under applicable law (including, if applicable, the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits governing such Syndicated Letter of Credit) and to the extent such Syndicated Letter of Credit was theretofore amended or issued
      pursuant to subsection (d)(ii) or (d)(iv), as applicable, of this Section to reflect the exclusion of such Bank’s Commitment, (I) each such Syndicated Letter of Credit shall be amended by the Administrative Agent to specify the Banks (including such
      Bank) that are then parties to such Syndicated Letter of Credit and such Banks’ respective Applicable Percentages, in each case reflecting the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment, as of the effective date of such amendment and (II) if such Syndicated
      Letter of Credit was not theretofore amended pursuant to subsection (d)(ii) of this Section to reflect the exclusion of such Bank’s Commitment thereunder, but instead the amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit was increased or a new Letter of
      Credit was issued hereunder in favor of the beneficiary of such Syndicated Letter of Credit in order to provide such beneficiary with an aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit from the Non-Defaulting Banks (including, if applicable, the
      applicable Fronting Issuing Banks) in the amount required by such beneficiary, the amount of such Syndicated Letter of Credit or new Letter of Credit shall be amended by the Administrative Agent to decrease the amount thereof, or the Company shall
      arrange for such new Letter of Credit to be surrendered by such beneficiary to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Issuing Bank, in order to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment pursuant to the amendment to such Syndicated
      Letter of Credit under sub-clause (I) above (provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to pay any letter of credit fees to such Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b) until such amendments with
      respect to such Letters of Credit shall have become effective); (y) (subject to clause (x) being satisfied with respect to a Syndicated Letter of Credit) the Syndicated LC Exposure of the Banks with respect to such Syndicated Letter of Credit shall
      be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment; and (z) (subject to clause (x) being satisfied with respect to a Syndicated Letter of Credit) such Bank shall purchase at par such of the unreimbursed LC Disbursements then outstanding
      (if any) of the other Banks with respect to such Syndicated Letter of Credit as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such LC Disbursements in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; and

     

    (iii)         with respect to any Loans then outstanding, such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for
      such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

      be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      if there has first been notice and demand therefore (as defined in Section 6306 of the Code and similar provisions of applicable law) by a tax authority.

     

    SECTION 5.03    Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence. The Company will continue, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary and Subsidiary Account Party to continue, to engage in business of the same

      Material Adverse Effect; except that if at the time thereof and immediately after giving effect thereto no Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) any Restricted Subsidiary may merge with or into the Company, provided that the Company
      shall be the surviving entity, (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary may merge with or into any other Subsidiary, provided that such Restricted Subsidiary shall be the surviving entity or, if such Restricted Subsidiary is not the surviving entity,

    (b)          The Company will maintain, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary and Subsidiary Account Party to maintain (either in the name of the Company or in such Subsidiary’s own name) with financially sound and
      responsible insurance companies, insurance on all their respective properties and against at least such risks, in each case as is consistent with sound business practice for companies in substantially the same industry as the Company, the Restricted

    SECTION 5.05    Compliance with Laws. The Company will comply, and will cause each Subsidiary to comply, in all material respects with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and requirements of
      governmental bodies, agencies and officials (including, without limitation, Sanctions Laws, Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money-Laundering Laws, Environmental Laws and ERISA and the rules and regulations thereunder) except where the necessity of
      compliance therewith is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, except where such non-compliance therewith would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (or, in the case of the laws, rules, regulations and orders
      referred to in Section 4.17, reasonably be expected to result in any Bank violating such laws, rules, regulations or orders).

     

    SECTION 5.06    Inspection of Property, Books and Records. The Company will keep, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary and Subsidiary Account Party to keep, proper books of record and account in which

      defined below) of any of its Material Subsidiaries (other than any Subsidiary established primarily for the purpose of reinsuring redundant reserve insurance liabilities of the Company or any other Insurance Subsidiary). As used herein “Ownership
        Interests” means, with respect to any Person, all of the shares of Capital Stock of such Person and all debt securities of such Person that can be converted or exchanged for Capital Stock of such Person, whether voting or nonvoting, and whether
      or not such Capital Stock or debt securities are outstanding on any date of determination.

     

    SECTION 5.09    Consolidations, Mergers and Sales of Assets. The Company will not (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or (b) sell, lease or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, all or
      substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any other Person; provided that the Company may merge with another Person if (i) the Company is the corporation surviving such merger and (ii)
      immediately after giving effect to such merger, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     

    SECTION 5.10    Use of Credit. Each Account Party shall use each Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement for its general corporate purposes. The proceeds of each Loan made to any Account Party hereunder will
      be used for its general corporate purposes (including to finance the reimbursement of LC Disbursements as contemplated by Section 2.03(a)). No Letter of Credit or proceeds of Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether
      immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulations T, U and X.

     

    SECTION 5.11    Obligations to be Pari Passu. Each Account Party’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party will rank at all times pari passu as to priority of
      payment and in all other respects with all other material unsecured and unsubordinated Debt of such Account Party with the exception of those obligations that are mandatorily preferred by law and not by contract.

     

    SECTION 5.12    Certain Indebtedness. The Company will not at any time permit the sum of (a) Non-Operating Indebtedness of the Company that is secured by a Lien on any property or assets of the Company and its

    (l)           any Subsidiary Account Party shall cease for any reason to be a Consolidated Subsidiary, unless (i) such Subsidiary Account Party shall have been consolidated or merged with or into a wholly owned
      Subsidiary or the Company or (ii) Subsidiary Account Party shall have been terminated as an Account Party hereunder pursuant to Section 10.13;

     

    then, and in every such event, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent shall, if requested by the Required Banks, by notice to the Company take any or all of the following actions, at the same or
      different times: (i) terminate the Commitments and they shall thereupon terminate, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be
      declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Account Parties accrued hereunder shall become due and
      payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Account Party and the Guarantor, (iii) notify (or, in the case of any Fronted Letter of Credit, request the applicable
      Fronting Issuing Bank (and such Fronting Issuing Bank agrees upon such request) to notify) each beneficiary of an outstanding Letters of Credit of the existence of an Event of Default hereunder and cause a drawing of the aggregate undrawn amount
      thereunder (if such Letters of Credit so permit) and (iv) demand cash collateral from the Account Parties and the Guarantor in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the then aggregate undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to
      Section 2.03(e); provided that, in the case of any of the Events of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) above (A) with respect to the Company, without any notice to any Account Party or the Guarantor or any other act by the Administrative
      Agent or the Banks, the Commitments shall thereupon terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Account Parties accrued hereunder, and the obligations to
      provide cash collateral under clause (iv) above, shall automatically become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Account Party and the Guarantor and (B) with respect to any
      Account Party (other than the Company), without any notice to any Account Party or the Guarantor or any other act by the Administrative Agent or the Banks, the Commitments to issue Letters of Credit for the account of, and to make Loans to, such
      Account Party shall thereupon terminate, the principal of the Loans made to such Account Party then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of such Account Party accrued hereunder, and the obligations of
      such Account Party to provide cash collateral under clause (iv) above, shall automatically become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Account Parties and the Guarantor; provided,
      further, that, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(b) resulting from a default by any Subsidiary Account Party under Section 5.08, 5.10 or 5.11 or under Section 6.01(c) or (d) (in the latter case, resulting from a default by
      any Subsidiary Account Party under Section 4.15), the termination of the Commitments, the acceleration of all fees and other obligations of the Account Parties accrued hereunder and the causing of drawings under Letters of Credit shall apply only to
      the Commitments, fees, obligations in respect of such Subsidiary Account Party and to the Letters of Credit with respect to which it is the Account Party.

    SECTION 6.02    Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Company under Section 6.01(c) promptly upon being requested to do so by any Bank and shall thereupon notify all the Banks
      thereof.

     

    ARTICLE VII

     

    THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     

    SECTION 7.01    Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement
      and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

     

    SECTION 7.02    Agent’s Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent.

     

    SECTION 7.03    Agent and Affiliates. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though
      it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. 
      Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with an Account Party or any Subsidiary or
      other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

     

    SECTION 7.04    Action by Agent. The obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action
      permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Banks. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take
      any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article VI. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Banks information that is not required to be furnished by an Account Party to the Administrative Agent
      at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by an Account Party to the Administrative Agent (either in its capacity as Administrative Agent or in its individual capacity).

     

    SECTION 7.05    Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Account Party ), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and
      shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

     

    
      -59-

      
        


    

    SECTION 7.06          Liability of Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Bank for any action taken or not taken by it in connection
      herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
      knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by an Account Party or a Bank.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible to any
      Bank for or have any duty to any Bank to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder or the issuance, amendment, or extension of any Letter of
      Credit; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any Account Party; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent;
      (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith; (v) the existence or possible existence of any Default; (vi) the financial condition of
      any Account Party or any Account Party’s Subsidiaries; or (vii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith.  The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance
      upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing believed by it in good faith to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
      issuance, extension, or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank or Fronting Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank or Fronting
      Issuing Bank (to the extent, in the case of a documentary condition, that such Bank or Fronting Issuing Bank received the applicable document) unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank or Fronting
      Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent (i) shall have no fiduciary or other implied duties to the Banks, (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
      exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Banks (or such other
      number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that is contrary to any Credit Document or
      applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Banks in violation of
      any Debtor Relief Law; and (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to an Account Party or any of
      its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

     

    SECTION 7.07    Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), indemnify the
      Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence
      or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) that the Administrative Agent may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder. The Administrative
      Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or
      continuing to take any such action.

     

    
      -60-

      
        


    

    SECTION 7.08    Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents
      and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank or any
      of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

     

    SECTION 7.09    Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Company.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right
      to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall be satisfactory to the Company, provided that no Default is continuing.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks,
      and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial
      bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and (unless a Default has occurred and is continuing) shall otherwise be subject to
      the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Upon the acceptance of its 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 and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
      hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.

     

    SECTION 7.10    Delegation to Affiliates. The Account Party and the Banks agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates.  Any such Affiliate (and
      such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative
      Agent is entitled under Articles VII and X.

     

    SECTION 7.11    Joint Lead Arrangers and Other Agents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agents
      listed on the cover page of this Agreement shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement in its capacity as such, except in its respective capacity, if any, as a Bank.

    (a)          Each Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being
      a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Account Parties, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

     

    (i)           such Bank 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 Banks’s entrance into, participation in,

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

     

    (iii)         (A) such Bank 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 Bank to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of

      -62-

      
        


    

    In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Bank or (2) a Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately

      hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Account Parties, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank involved in such Bank’s
      entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this
      Agreement, any Credit Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

     

    ARTICLE VIII

     

    CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

     

    SECTION 8.01    LIBOR Successor Rate.

     

    (a)          If in connection with any request for a Euro-Dollar Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (i) the Administrative Agent determines that (A) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
      determining Adjusted LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Euro-Dollar Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan and (B) the circumstances described in Section 8.01(c)(i) do not apply (“Impacted
        Loans”), or (ii) the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Banks or the Required Banks determine that Adjusted LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Euro-Dollar Loan does not adequately and fairly
      reflect the cost to such Banks of funding such Euro-Dollar Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Bank.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Euro-Dollar  Loans shall be suspended, (to
      the extent of the affected Euro-Dollar Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Adjusted LIBOR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Adjusted LIBOR
      component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Banks described in clause (ii) of Section 8.01(a), until the Administrative Agent upon
      instruction of the Required Banks) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Account Parties may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Euro-Dollar Loans (to the extent of the affected Euro-Dollar
      Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

     

    (b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (i) of Section 8.01(a), the Administrative Agent, with the written consent of the Company, and in
      consultation with the Required Banks, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the
      notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (i) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks notify the Administrative Agent and the Company that such alternative interest rate does
      not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Bank determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Bank or its Applicable
      Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any governmental authority has imposed material
      restrictions on the authority of such Bank to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Company written notice thereof.

     

    
      -63-

      
        


    

    (c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the
      Company or Required Banks notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Banks, a copy to the Company) that the Company or Required Banks (as applicable) have determined, that:

     

    (i)           adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or
      published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

     

    (ii)          the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after
      which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

     

    (iii)         syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new
      benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR;

     

    then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an
      alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes
      (as defined below) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Banks and the Company unless, prior to such time, Banks comprising
      the Required Banks have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Banks do not accept such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

     

    
      -64-

      
        


    

    If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Bank. 
      Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Euro-Dollar Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Adjusted LIBOR component shall no longer be utilized in
      determining the Base Rate.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Account Parties may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Euro-Dollar Loans (to the extent of the affected Euro-Dollar Loans or Interest Periods)
      or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR
      Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

     

    For purposes hereof, “LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and
      making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration
      thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice
      for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

     

    SECTION 8.02    Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the
      interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or
      directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) to make, continue, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans
      and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Company, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Company and the Administrative Agent that the
      circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a
      different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue
      to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the applicable Account Parties shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Euro-Dollar Loan,
      together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Euro-Dollar Loan, the applicable Account Parties shall borrow Base Rate Loans in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable
      contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such Base Rate Loans.

      SECTION 8.03    Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

       

    

    (a)          If on or after the date hereof, in the case of any Loan or any obligation to make Loans or in the case of any Letter of Credit or any obligation to issue, participate in, renew or extend any Letter of
      Credit, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
      charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency
      shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included
      in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office)
      or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans or its obligation to issue or participate in
      Letters of Credit, any outstanding Letters of Credit or reimbursement claims in respect of LC Disbursements and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost or expense to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making,
      continuing, converting to or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan or of issuing, participating in or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this
      Agreement or under other Credit Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank such
      additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

     

    (b)          If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation
      regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any
      request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of
      such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with
      respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or
      amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction.

     

    (c)          Each Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this
      Section. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and, in reasonable detail, such Bank’s computation of such amount or amounts, shall be
      conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

        (d)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Section, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives
          thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the
          United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have gone into effect after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued unless such request, rule,
          guideline or directive was enforceable with respect to the applicable Bank by the applicable regulatory authority on the Effective Date (which for the avoidance of doubt assumes that final implementing regulations and rules are in full force and
          effect and such request, rule, guideline or directive is applicable only to the extent rolled out at such time).

         

        SECTION 8.04    Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or continue Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank
          has demanded compensation under Section 8.03(a) or 8.05 and the Company shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to
          such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply:

         

        (a)          all Loans which would otherwise be made, or continued, by such Bank as Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as, or converted into, Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable
          contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and

         

        (b)          after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

         

        SECTION 8.05    Taxes.

         

        (a)          For purposes of this Section, the following terms have the following meanings:

         

        “Domestic Taxes” has the meaning set forth in the definition of Taxes in this Section 8.05(a).

         

        “FATCA” means Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or official interpretations thereof.

         

        “Other Taxes” means any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or similar charges or levies, which arise from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or any
          other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

         

        
          -67-

          
            


        

        “Taxes” means any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings of any nature with respect to any payment by any Account Party or the Guarantor pursuant to this
          Agreement or any other Credit Document, and all liabilities with respect thereto ( excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, (i) taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by a
          jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal executive office is located or, in the case of each Bank, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located
          (all such excluded taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Domestic Taxes”) and (ii) any U.S. Federal withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA). If the form provided by a Bank pursuant to Section 8.05(d) at the time such Bank first becomes a
          party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, any United States interest withholding tax at such rate imposed on payments by the Company under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall
          be excluded from the definition of “Taxes”.

         

        “Withholding Agent” means any Account Party or the Administrative Agent.

         

        (b)          Any and all payments by any Account Party or the Guarantor to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear and
          without deduction or withholding for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if any Account Party or the Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (i) the sum payable shall be increased
          as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an
          amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) such Account Party or the Guarantor (as the case may be) shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) such Account Party or the Guarantor
          (as the case may be) shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) such Account Party or the Guarantor (as the case may be) shall promptly furnish
          to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, and, if such receipt relates to Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of a sum payable to any Bank, the
          Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver such original or certified copy to such Bank.

         

        (c)          The Company agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any
          jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section), whether or not correctly or legally imposed, paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom
          or with respect thereto. In addition, the Company agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for all Domestic Taxes of such Bank or the Administrative Agent (calculated based on a hypothetical basis at the maximum marginal rate
          for a corporation) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses to the extent not attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of each Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as determined by a court
          of competent jurisdiction) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case to the extent that such Domestic Taxes result from any payment or indemnification pursuant to this Section for any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction for which the
          Company or any Account Party is responsible under Section 8.05(a), (b) or (c). This indemnification shall be paid within 30 days after such Bank or Agent, as the case may be, makes demand therefor.

         

        
          -68-

          
            


        

        (d)          At least five Domestic Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Bank, each Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United
          States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to each of the Company and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, certifying in either case
          that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Bank which so delivers a Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI further undertakes to
          deliver to each of the Company and the Administrative Agent two additional copies of such form (or successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
          most recent form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, in each case certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive payments
          under this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
          delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Bank advises the Company and the Administrative Agent
          that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

         

        (e)          If a payment made to a Bank under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA
          (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Withholding Agent documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent sufficient for the Withholding Agent to comply with
          its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such applicable reporting requirements or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

         

        (f)          For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Company or the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form as required by Section 8.05(d) (whether or not such Bank is lawfully
          able to do so, unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section
          8.05(b) or (c) with respect to any withholding of the United States federal income tax resulting from such failure; provided that if a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject
          to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Company shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

         

        
          -69-

          
            


        

        (g)          Each Bank and the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company, use reasonable efforts (consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document
          requested by the Company if the making of such a filing would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts payable to or for the account of such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) pursuant to this
          Section which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole judgment of such Bank or the Administrative Agent, require such Bank or the Administrative Agent to disclose any confidential or proprietary information or be otherwise
          disadvantageous to such Bank or the Administrative Agent.

         

        (h)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall interfere with the rights of any Bank to conduct its fiscal or tax affairs in such manner as it deems fit.

         

        SECTION 8.06    Regulation D Compensation. For so long as any Bank maintains reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” (or any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the
          interest rate on Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of such Bank to United States residents), and as a result the cost to such Bank (or its
          Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining its Euro-Dollar Loans is increased, then such Bank may require the applicable Account Parties to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans, additional
          interest on the related Euro-Dollar Loans of such Bank at a rate per annum up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable Adjusted LIBOR rate divided by (B) one minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable
          Adjusted LIBOR rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the applicable Account Parties and the Administrative Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans of such Bank
          shall be payable to such Bank at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall furnish to the applicable Account Parties
          at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans an officer’s certificate setting forth the amount to which such Bank is then entitled under this Section (which shall be consistent
          with such Bank’s good faith estimate of the level at which the related reserves are maintained by it). Each such certificate shall be accompanied by such information as the applicable Account Parties may reasonably request as to the computation
          set forth therein.

         

        SECTION 8.07    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Banks.

         

        (a)          If any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.03, or if any Account Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or any governmental body, agency or official for the account of any Bank
          pursuant to Section 8.05, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans and/or other Credit Exposure hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
          another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank (with the concurrence of the Company), such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.05, as the case may
          be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in
          connection with any such designation or assignment.

         

        
          -70-

          
            


        

        (b)          So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.03 or if any Account Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank
          or any governmental body, agency or official for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.05, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and
          delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.06(c)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
          another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, each Fronting Issuing Banks), which consent
          shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
          payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
          compensation under Section 8.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.05, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if,
          prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

         

        ARTICLE IX

         

        GUARANTY

         

        SECTION 9.01    The Guaranty.    The Company hereby unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Loans and all reimbursement obligations in respect of LC
          Disbursements and all interest thereon payable by each Subsidiary Account Party pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary Account Party that shall become party hereto after the date hereof pursuant to Section
          10.13), and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by each Subsidiary Account Party under this Agreement, including amounts payable as cash collateral pursuant to Sections 2.03(e) and 6.01. Upon failure by any Subsidiary
          Account Party to pay punctually any such amount, the Company shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement. This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to all
          obligations of the Subsidiary Account Parties under this Agreement whenever arising, and is a guarantee of payment and is not merely a guarantee of collection.

         

        SECTION 9.02    Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall be unconditional, absolute and continuing and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released,
          discharged or otherwise affected by:

         

        (i)           any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of any Subsidiary Account Party under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise;

         

        
          -71-

          
            


        

        (ii)          any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement;

         

        (iii)         any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of any Subsidiary Account Party under this Agreement;

         

        (iv)         any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Subsidiary Account Party, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any
          Subsidiary Account Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Subsidiary Account Party contained in this Agreement;

         

        (v)          the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Company may have at any time against any Subsidiary Account Party, the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person,
          whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

         

        (vi)         any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Subsidiary Account Party for any reason of this Agreement, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to
          prohibit the payment by any Subsidiary Account Party of any reimbursement obligation, interest or any other amount payable by it under this Agreement;

         

        (vii)        any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by Subsidiary Account Party, the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which
          might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Company’s obligations hereunder; or

         

        (viii)       any Bank and its Affiliates accepting deposits from, lending money to, or otherwise engaging in any kind of business with the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Subsidiary Account Parties
          or the Affiliates of any thereof.

         

        SECTION 9.03    Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. The Company’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have
          terminated and all reimbursement obligations, interest and all other amounts payable by the Company and each Subsidiary Account Party under this Agreement shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of reimbursement obligation,
          interest or any other amount payable by any Subsidiary Account Party under this Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Subsidiary Account Party or otherwise, the
          Company’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

         

        SECTION 9.04    Waiver by the Company. The Company irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any
          action be taken by any Person against any Subsidiary Account Parties or any other Person.

        SECTION 9.05    Subrogation. Upon making any payment with respect to the obligations of any Subsidiary Account Party hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against such
          Subsidiary Account Party with respect to such payment; provided that the Company shall not enforce any payment by way of subrogation against such Subsidiary Account Party so long as (i) any Bank has any Commitment hereunder or (ii) any
          amount payable hereunder remains unpaid.

        SECTION 10.02  No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver
          thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any
          rights or remedies provided by law.

         

        SECTION 10.03  Expenses; Indemnification; Non-Liability of Banks.

         

        (a)          The Company shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, including reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the
          preparation of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each
          Bank, including fees and disbursements of counsel including costs allocated to in-house counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

         

        (b)          The Company agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Bank and each Confirming Bank, their Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents, advisors and employees of the foregoing
          (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and costs
          of settlement, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto or whether such proceeding is brought by the
          Company, its equity holders or its creditors) relating to or arising out of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations
          hereunder or any other transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
          connection with such demand do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit); or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, or any other
          theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for (x) its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (y) the material breach by such
          Indemnitee of its obligations hereunder or, in the case of a Confirming Bank, under its Confirming Bank Agreement, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

         

        (c)          Reimbursement by Banks. To the extent that an Account Party for any reason fails to pay any amount required under this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
          thereof), Fronting Issuing Bank, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Fronting Issuing Bank, or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Bank’s
          pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Bank’s share of the unused Commitments and Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such
          unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Bank), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Banks’ Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
          sought), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Fronting Issuing
          Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or Fronting Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity.

        (d)          Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Domestic Business Days after written demand therefor.

         

        (e)          Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Bank, the termination of the Commitments.

         

        SECTION 10.04  Sharing of Payments.  Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal
          and interest due with respect to any Loan made by it or reimbursement obligation or interest due with respect to any LC Disbursement made by it under a Letter of Credit which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of
          the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan made by such other Bank or reimbursement obligation or interest due, as the case may be, with respect to any LC Disbursement made by such other Bank under such Letter of
          Credit, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans held by or the LC Exposure by the other Banks under such Letter of Credit, as applicable, and such other adjustments shall be made, as
          may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans and reimbursement obligations and interest with respect to LC Disbursements made by the Banks under such Letter of Credit shall be shared by the Banks
          pro rata; provided that (i) nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the
          applicable Account Party other than its indebtedness under this Agreement and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Account Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
          this Agreement. Each Account Party agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in any Loan or LC Exposure, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may
          exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of such Account Party in the amount of such participation.

         

        SECTION 10.05  Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by each Account Party and the Required
          Banks or by the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Required Banks)  (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Fronting Issuing Bank, in such capacity, are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent or such
          Fronting Issuing Bank, as the case may be) and notice of such amendment or waiver is provided to the Administrative Agent; provided that the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld),
          specify by notice to the Banks modifications in the procedures set forth in Section 2.01(b); provided, further, that no such amendment or waiver shall (i) increase the amount or extend the expiry date of the Commitment of any Bank or increase the
          LC Exposure of any Bank, without the written consent of such Bank, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or the amount of any reimbursement obligation of any Account Party in respect of any LC Disbursement, the rate or amount of interest
          thereon or any fees payable to any Bank hereunder, without the written consent of each Bank affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or for reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any
          interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Bank affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.13(b) or (c) or
          Section 10.04 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Bank affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Banks” or any
          other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Banks required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Bank, (vi) the release of
          any of the collateral provided for the LC Exposure pursuant to Sections 2.03(e) and 6.01 (other than as expressly provided in Section 2.03(e)), without the written consent of each Bank, or (vii) any change in the obligations of the Company under
          Article IX, without the written consent of each Bank.

        SECTION 10.06  Successors and Assigns.

         

        (a)          The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Account Party
          may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Bank.

         

        (b)          Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the Loans or any or all of its Letters of Credit. In
          the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations
          hereunder, and the Account Parties and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may
          grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Account Parties hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment,
          modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in the proviso of Section
          10.05 without the consent of the Participant. Each Account Party agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest. An
          assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) of this Section shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). Each
          Bank that grants a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Account Parties, 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, Letters of Credit or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the
          Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligations under any Credit Document) 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 Bank 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.

         

        (c)          Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more NAIC Approved Banks (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Assignee
          shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to) the consent (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
          delayed) of each of the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Fronting Issuing Bank; provided that (i) if an Assignee is an Affiliate of any Bank or was a Bank immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent of the Company
          shall be required and (ii) if an Assignee was a Bank immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent of the Administrative Agent or any Fronting Issuing Bank shall be required; provided, further, that no assignment shall be
          permitted to a Defaulting Bank; provided, further, that (x) the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten
          Business Days after having received notice thereof and (y) if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, no such consent of the Company shall be required; and provided, further, that any such assignment (other than an
          assignment to another Bank or an Affiliate of any Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the transferor Bank’s Commitment and interests in outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit) shall be in an amount that is at least $5,000,000
          unless otherwise agreed by the Account Parties and the Administrative Agent. Upon execution and delivery of such Assignment and Assumption and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed
          between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Bank
          shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank or Assignee shall pay to the Administrative
          Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees
          are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.05(d).

         

        
          -76-

          
            


        

        (d)          Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to secure obligations of such Bank, including, without limitation, to one or more of the Federal
          Reserve Banks which comprise the Federal Reserve System or other central banks. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

         

        (e)          No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03, 8.05 or 8.06 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with
          respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made (i) with the Company’s prior written consent, (ii) by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02 or 8.07 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under
          certain circumstances or (iii) at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

         

        SECTION 10.07  Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as
          collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

         

        SECTION 10.08  New York Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

         

        SECTION 10.09  Judicial Proceedings.

         

        (a)          Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Account Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State
          court sitting in New York City, borough of Manhattan, for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Account Party irrevocably waives,
          to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in
          an inconvenient forum.

         

        (b)          Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. Each Subsidiary Account Party irrevocably designates and appoints the Company, and the Company hereby accepts such appointment, at its office in
          Radnor, Pennsylvania set forth beneath the Company’s signature on the signature page hereof, as the authorized agent of such Subsidiary Account Party, to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in
          any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in subsection (a) of this Section in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City. Said designation and appointment shall be irrevocable by each Subsidiary Account Party
          until all reimbursement obligations, interest thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder shall have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof or, if earlier, when such Subsidiary Account Party is terminated as an
          Account Party hereunder pursuant to Section 10.13.

         

        
          -77-

          
            


        

        (c)          Service of Process. Each Account Party hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in subsection (a) of this Section in any federal or New
          York State court sitting in New York City by service of process upon its agent appointed as provided in subsection (b) of this Section; provided that, to the extent lawful and possible, notice of said service upon such agent shall be
          mailed by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to such Account Party at its address specified on the signature page hereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Account Party, on the signature page of the
          Subsidiary Joinder Agreement to which it is a party) or to any other address of which such Account Party shall have given written notice to the applicable Bank. Each Account Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all
          claim of error by reason of any such service in such manner and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon such Account Party in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent
          permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to such Account Party.

         

        (d)          No Limitation on Service or Suit. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right of
          the Administrative Agent or any Bank to bring proceedings against any Account Party in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

         

        SECTION 10.10  Counterparts; Integration; Headings. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto
          were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
          Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

         

        SECTION 10.11  Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Bank agree that they will maintain the confidentiality of, and will not use for any purpose (other than exercising its rights and enforcing
          its remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents), any written or oral information provided under this Agreement by or on behalf of the Account Parties (hereinafter collectively called “Confidential Information”), subject to the
          Administrative Agent’s and each Bank’s (a) obligation to disclose any such Confidential Information pursuant to a request or order under applicable laws and regulations or by a self-regulatory body or pursuant to a subpoena or other legal
          process, (b) right to disclose any such Confidential Information to its bank examiners, auditors, counsel and other professional advisors and to other Banks and to its subsidiaries and Affiliates and the subsidiaries and Affiliates of its holding
          company, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, shall cause each such subsidiary or Affiliate to maintain the Confidential Information on the same terms as the terms provided herein, (c) right to disclose
          any such Confidential Information in connection with any litigation or dispute involving the Banks and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and (d) right to provide such information to participants, prospective participants,
          prospective assignees or assignees pursuant to Section 10.06, to its prospective Confirming Bank or Confirming Bank or (with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)) to its agents if prior thereto such
          participant, prospective participant, prospective assignee, prospective Confirming Bank, Confirming Bank or agent agrees in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms substantially similar to those of this Section as if
          it were a “Bank” party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such information supplied to a Bank, participant, prospective participant, prospective assignee, prospective Confirming Bank or Confirming Bank under this Agreement shall cease to
          be Confidential Information if it is or becomes known to such Person by other than unauthorized disclosure, or if it is, at the time of disclosure, or becomes a matter of public knowledge. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may
          disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors and other service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Banks in connection with the
          administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Commitments.

        SECTION 10.12  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE ACCOUNT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
          RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

         

        SECTION 10.13  Joinder and Termination of Subsidiary Account Party.

         

        (a)          Any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company that is organized, licensed or regulated under applicable law as an insurance or reinsurance company may, upon the request of the Company at
          any time, upon not less than seven Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of any Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof (a “Foreign




            Subsidiary”) and upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent in the case of any other Subsidiary, become a party to this Agreement as an Account Party by delivering an executed Subsidiary Joinder Agreement,
          substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, to the Administrative Agent for acceptance by it (which shall promptly notify the Banks), provided that on and as of the date of acceptance of such Subsidiary Joinder Agreement by the
          Administrative Agent (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.04(e) and 4.05 as to any
          matter which has theretofore been disclosed in writing by the Account Parties to the Banks) shall be true with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have
          been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date), (iii) such Subsidiary Account Party shall be deemed to have appointed the Company as its authorized agent pursuant to Section 10.09(b) to accept service of any and all process which may
          be served in any suit, action or proceeding of any nature in any federal or New York State court sitting in New York City arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv)
          the Administrative Agent shall have received such other documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, which may include opinions of counsel and other documents that are consistent with conditions set forth in Section 3.02, each
          in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Following the giving of any such notice pursuant to this Section if the designation of such Subsidiary Account Party obligates the Administrative Agent or any Bank to comply with
          “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Bank, supply such
          documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in order for the Administrative Agent or such Bank to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your
          customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations, and such Bank’s satisfaction, acting reasonably, shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the designation of such Subsidiary Account Party.

         

        
          -79-

          
            


        

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, as soon as practicable after receiving notice from the Administrative Agent of the Company’s intent to designate a Foreign Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Account Party, and in any
          event at least two Business Days’ prior to the delivery of an executed Subsidiary Joinder Agreement pursuant to this subsection (a), any Bank that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with
          such Foreign Subsidiary directly or through an Affiliate of such Bank (a “Protesting Bank”) shall so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Bank, the Company shall, effective on or
          before the date that such Foreign Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Account Party, either (A) notify the Administrative Agent and such Protesting Bank that the Commitment of such Protesting Bank shall be terminated, provided that such
          Protesting Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and/or its LC Disbursement reimbursement obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
          from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, LC Disbursements and accrued interest and fees) or the Company or the relevant Subsidiary Account Party (in the case of all other amounts) or (B) cancel the request to designate such
          Foreign Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Account Party hereunder.

         

        (b)          The Company may, at any time at which a Subsidiary Account Party shall not be an Account Party with respect to an outstanding Letter of Credit and which shall have no unpaid LC Disbursements or unpaid
          interest on any LC Disbursements, terminate such Subsidiary Account Party as an Account Party hereunder by delivering an executed notice thereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly
          notify the Banks). Immediately upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, all commitments of the Banks to issue Letters of Credit for the account of such Subsidiary Account Party and all rights of such Subsidiary Account Party
          hereunder, shall terminate and such Subsidiary Account Party shall immediately cease to be an Account Party hereunder; provided that all obligations of such Subsidiary Account Party as an Account Party hereunder arising in respect of any
          period in which such Subsidiary Account Party was, or on account of any action or inaction by such Subsidiary Account Party as, an Account Party hereunder shall survive such termination.

         

        SECTION 10.14  USA PATRIOT Act. Each Bank that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Account Parties that pursuant to the
          requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Account Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Account Parties and other information that will allow such Bank
          or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Account Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.  The Account Parties shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Bank, provide all documentation and other
          information that the Administrative Agent or such Bank reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.

        SECTION 10.15  No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Bank and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section, the “Banks”), may have economic interests that conflict
          with those of the Account Parties, their respective stockholders and/or their affiliates.  The Account Parties agree that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or
          fiduciary or other implied duty between any Bank, on the one hand, and any Account Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other.  The Account Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents
          (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Banks, on the one hand, and the Account Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process
          leading thereto, (x) no Bank has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Account Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with
          respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Bank has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Account Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Account
          Parties except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Bank is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Account Party, its management, stockholders or creditors or any other Person. 
          Each Account Party acknowledges and agrees that such Account Party has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such
          transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Account Party agrees that it will not claim that any Bank has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Account Party, in connection with
          such transaction or the process leading thereto.

         

        SECTION 10.16  Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit 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 Credit Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and
          consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

         

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

         

        (b)          the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of,
          such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, 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 Credit 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.

         

        
          -81-

          
            


        

        SECTION 10.17  Unenforceability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
          remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid
          provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
          provision in any other jurisdiction.

         

        SECTION 10.18  Electronic Execution. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the
          transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Notices of Borrowing, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures and contract formations on
          electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
          recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any
          other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Account Parties nor the Administrative Agent are under any obligation to agree to
          accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the applicable Account Party or the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

        The equity treatment given to the Instruments by S&P and Moody’s as of the Effective Date contemplates that the equity credit of any Instrument decreases as such Instrument approaches maturity.  No such decrease is
          contemplated by S&P or Moody’s to occur with respect to any Instrument before the first anniversary of the Commitment Termination Date.

        

        

        The equity treatment given to the Instruments by S&P limits the aggregate amount of equity credit given to all Instruments of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries to 15% of the total adjusted capital (as
          determined by S&P) of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries.

          that the failure of the Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Account Party hereunder or under the Credit Agreement.

        OPINION OF COUNSEL OF THE COMPANY

         

        July 31, 2019

         

        To the Banks and the Administrative Agent

        referred to below

        c/o Bank of America, N.A.,

        as Administrative Agent

        135 S. LaSalle Street

        Chicago, IL 60603

         

        Dear Sirs:

         

        I refer to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of July 31, 2019 among Lincoln National Corporation (the “Company”), and the Subsidiary Account Parties party thereto, the Banks party
          thereto and the Administrative Agent.  Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.  I am an Assistant Vice President and Senior Counsel of the Company and am admitted to practice law in the State of Indiana.  This
          opinion is being rendered to you at the request of the Company.

         

        I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments, and have conducted such other
          investigations of fact and law, as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.  I have also assumed that the Credit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Banks referred to therein and the
          Administrative Agent and is enforceable in accordance with its terms against such parties.  As to certain matters of fact, I have relied upon information obtained from officers and employees of the Company and from public officials believed by me
          to be responsible.

         

        In rendering this opinion, I have assumed without inquiry the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity
          to original documents of documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

         

        Upon the basis of the foregoing and subject to the qualifications, exceptions and assumptions herein, I am of the opinion that:

         

        
          
            	

                  	1.	
                    The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of Indiana, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to own
                      or lease its assets and carry on its business as now conducted.  The Company is duly qualified and licensed to do business, and is validly existing or in good standing, as applicable, in every other jurisdiction where such
                      qualification or license is required, except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  


          

        

         

        
          
            	

                  	2.	
                    The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement and the Notes are within the Company’s corporate power, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect
                      of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or of any
                      material agreement, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its Restricted
                      Subsidiaries, except in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  


          

        

         

        
          
            


          -2-

        

        
        
          
            	

                  	3.	
                    The Credit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

                  


          

        

         

        
          
            	

                  	4.	
                    If the Credit Agreement and the Notes were stated to be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Indiana or if a court of the State of Indiana were to apply the law of the State of Indiana to the Credit
                      Agreement and the Notes, the Credit Agreement and the Notes would constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Company in each case enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

                  


          

        

         

        
          
            	

                  	5.	
                    There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the best of my knowledge after reasonable inquiry, threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body,
                      agency or official (a) which reasonably would be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) which in any manner draws into question the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement.

                  


          

        

         

        
          
            	

                  	6.	
                    Each of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries is a corporation validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and
                      approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted.

                  


          

        

         

        The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and qualifications:

         

        
          
            	

                  	(A)	
                    The opinions set forth in paragraph 4 above are subject to the qualification that the binding effect and enforceability of the Credit Agreement and the Notes may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
                      or other similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) the application of general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity
                      or at law.

                  


          

        

         

        (B)          The enforceability of Sections 7.06, 7.07 and 10.03 of the Credit Agreement may be limited by laws limiting the enforceability of provisions exculpating or exempting a party from, or
          requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct.

         

        
          
            	

                  	(C)	
                    The enforceability of provisions in the Credit Agreement to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.

                  


          

        

         

        
          
            	

                  	(D)	
                    Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement may not be enforceable to the extent that the obligations of any Subsidiary Account Party under the Credit Agreement are materially modified.

                  


          

        

         

        
          
            	

                  	(E)	
                    I express no opinion as to (i) the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction in which any Bank is located (other than the State of Indiana) that limit the interest, fees or other charges such Bank may impose for the loan or use of
                      money or other credit, (ii) the last sentence of Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement, (iii) the first sentence of Section 10.09(a) of the Credit Agreement, insofar as such sentence relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of the
                      United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit Agreement and (iv) the waiver of inconvenient forum set forth in the last sentence of Section 10.09(a) of the
                      Credit Agreement with respect to proceedings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

                  


          

        

         

        
          
            


          -3-

        

        (F)          I also wish to point out that provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Notes which permit the Administrative Agent or the Banks to take actions or make determinations may be subject
          to a requirement that such actions be taken or such determinations be made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

         

        I do not herein express any opinion as to any matters governed by any law other than the law of the State of Indiana and the United States of America.

         

        This opinion is rendered only with respect to law in effect as of the date hereof.  I assume no responsibility for updating this opinion to take into account any event, action, interpretation or change of law or
          change of facts occurring subsequent to the date hereof which may affect the validity of any of the opinions expressed herein.

         

        This opinion is furnished by me solely for your benefit for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and it may not be relied upon by any other Person.

         

        	 	
                Very truly yours,

          Bank of America, N.A., as Agent (as defined below)

          Re:          Credit Agreement dated as of
                  July 31, 2019 of Lincoln National Corporation

          

          

          Ladies and Gentlemen:

          

          

          We have acted as special New York counsel to Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) in connection with the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2019
            (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Lincoln National Corporation (the “Company”), Lincoln National Reinsurance Company (Barbados) Limited (“LNRL”), Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“LNL”), First Penn-Pacific Life Insurance Company
            (“Penn-Pacific”), Lincoln Life and Annuity Company of New York (“Lincoln NY”), Lincoln Reinsurance Company of Vermont I (“Vermont I”), Lincoln Reinsurance Company of Vermont III (“Vermont III”), Lincoln Reinsurance Company of Vermont IV
            (“Vermont IV”), Lincoln Reinsurance Company of Vermont V (“Vermont V”), Lincoln Reinsurance Company of Vermont VI (“Vermont VI”), Lincoln Reinsurance Company of Vermont VII (“Vermont VII”), and Lincoln Financial Reinsurance Company of Vermont
            (“Lincoln Vermont”; together with the Company, LNRL, LNL, Penn-Pacific, Lincoln NY, Vermont I, Vermont III, Vermont IV, Vermont V, Vermont VI, and Vermont VII, the “Borrowers” and each, individually, a “Borrower”), the lenders referred to
            therein that are parties thereto (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, as Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”).  We do not represent the Borrowers and are not familiar with their businesses, assets or properties, and we are
            providing this opinion at your request. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used as therein defined, unless otherwise defined herein.  This opinion letter is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 3.02(c) of the Credit Agreement.

          

          

          In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Credit
            Agreement and the promissory notes in favor of certain Lenders executed by the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement on the date hereof in favor of the Lenders (the “Notes”; collectively with the Credit Agreement, the “Credit Documents”). 
            This opinion is based entirely on our review of the Credit Documents, and we have made no other documentary review or investigation of any kind whatsoever for purposes of this opinion.

          

          

          We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of the documents
            submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, facsimile or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

          

          

          
            
              


            -2-

          

          
          As to all matters of fact, we have relied, with your permission, entirely upon the representations of the Borrowers contained in the
            Credit Documents without any independent investigation.

          

          

          We have assumed with your permission that: (a) each Borrower is a corporation or partnership or other applicable entity validly existing and in good
            standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized or formed, (b) each Borrower has the corporate or partnership or other applicable entity power and authority to enter into and perform the Credit Documents to which it is a
            party, has taken all necessary corporate or partnership or other applicable entity action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such Credit Documents and has duly executed and delivered such Credit Documents, (c) the execution and delivery by the Borrowers of the Credit Documents to which they are parties do not, and the performance by the Borrowers of their respective obligations thereunder will not, (i) result in a violation
            of the governing  or organizational documents of any Borrower, (ii) result in a breach or default under any indenture, loan or credit agreement, lease, guarantee, mortgage, security agreement, bond, note, other agreement or instrument binding
            upon any of the Borrowers or (iii) result in a violation of any judicial, executive, administrative or other governmental order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding upon any Borrower, (d) the execution and delivery by each of
            the Borrowers of the Credit Documents to which it is a party do not, and the performance by each Borrower of its obligations thereunder will not, require any approval from or filing with any governmental authority of the United States, or the
            State of New York, pursuant to any federal or New York state law or any approval from or filing with any governmental authority of any other jurisdiction, and (e) the execution and delivery by each Borrower of the Credit Documents to which it
            is a party do not, and the performance by each Borrower of its obligations thereunder will not, result in any violation by any Borrower of any federal statute of the United States or any statute of the State of New York or any statute of any
            other state within the United States or any other jurisdiction or any regulations promulgated thereunder.

          

          

          Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and to the limitations and qualifications described above and below, we are of the opinion
            that each Credit Document to which a Borrower is a party is the valid and binding obligation of such Borrower, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms.

          

          

          The opinion expressed above is subject to the limitations, exceptions, qualifications and assumptions stated above and below:

          

          

          A.          Each opinion
                expressed herein is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer and other laws and rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of creditors’ rights and remedies against the Borrowers or any other Persons, and general
                principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality and reasonableness (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity), the doctrine of comity, an implied duty of good
                faith and fair dealing, and limitations on the availability of specific performance.

          

          

          
            
              


            -3-

          

          B.          Provisions of the Credit Documents relating to indemnification,
                  exoneration or exculpation may be limited by public policy or by statute.

          

          

          C.          For purposes of this opinion, we have made such examination of law as we have deemed necessary.  This opinion is limited solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of New York as applied by courts located in New York
                without regard to choice of law and the federal laws of the United States of America (except for Federal and state tax, antitrust, insurance, fiduciary, energy, utilities, national security, anti‐terrorism, anti-money laundering, sanctions,
                derivatives, investments, securities, or blue sky laws, as to which we express no opinion in this letter), and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We express no opinion as to the effect of sovereign immunity or similar impediments to enforcement relating to the public, governmental or sovereign status of any foreign entity, the so-called “act of state
                doctrine”, or any foreign legislative, judicial, executive, administrative, or other governmental action, order, requirement or prohibition, or any treaties or laws relating to international relations or commerce. Subject to the foregoing
                and the other limitations set forth in this opinion letter, we have considered only such laws and regulations that in our experience are typically applicable to a transaction of the nature contemplated by the Credit Documents.

          

          

          D.            We note that
                the Credit Documents contain provisions stating that they are to be governed by the laws of the State of New York (each, a “Chosen‐Law Provision”).  No opinion is given herein as to any Chosen‐Law Provision, or otherwise as to any choice of
                law matters with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents.

          

          

          E.          Certain waivers or consents by the Borrowers in the Credit Documents, including but not limited to, waivers of rights to object to, or consents to, jurisdiction or venue, or waivers of rights to, or consents to, service of
                process, or methods of service of process, or waivers of any applicable defenses, setoffs, recoupments or counterclaims, or other rights or benefits bestowed by operation of law, or waivers or variations of provisions that are not capable
                of waiver or variation under Sections 1-302 or other applicable provisions of the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “NY UCC”), may relate to matters that cannot, as a matter of law, be effectively waived.  Without limiting the foregoing, you should be aware that under applicable law guarantors and joint and several obligors may be entitled to certain rights or protections which as a
                matter of statutory or common law may not be waived or altered, and we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Credit Documents that purports to waive or alter such rights or protections.

          

          

          F.          The enforceability of the Credit Documents may be limited by the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions imposing penalties, forfeitures, late payment charges, the imposition or collection of interest on
                interest, an increase in interest rate upon delinquency in payment or an occurrence of default, or the payment of any premium, liquidated damages, or other amount that may under applicable law be considered a penalty or forfeiture.

          

            
              
                


              -4-

            

          

          G.           We assume
                that at least $2,500,000 will be advanced to each Borrower, in one or more installments, that is treated as having received any such advances pursuant to the Credit Documents for purposes of Section 5-501 of the New York General Obligations
                Law.  No opinion is given herein as to the usury laws, or other laws regulating the maximum rate of interest which may be charged, taken or received, of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

          

          

          We express no opinion as to:

          

          

          (i)          The
                enforceability of any provision of the Credit Documents insofar as it provides that any Person purchasing a participation from any Lender or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights with respect to such participation or that any Lender or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights
                  other than in accordance with applicable law.

          

          

          (ii)          The
                enforceability of any provision of the Credit Documents permitting modification thereof only by means of an agreement in writing signed by the parties thereto.

          

          

          (iii)          The
                enforceability of any provision of the Credit Documents purporting to waive the right to trial by jury.

          

          

          (iv)          The effect
                of suretyship defenses, or defenses in the nature thereof, with respect to the obligations of any applicable guarantor, joint or joint-and-several obligor, surety, accommodation party, or other secondary obligor.

          

          

          (v)          The
                enforceability of any particular provision of any of the Credit Documents relating to or constituting  (a) the grant of powers of attorney or proxies to the Agent or any Lender or any other Person,  (b) clauses relating to releases or
                waivers of unmatured claims or rights, (c) submission to binding arbitration or mandatory negotiation, (d) so-called “usury savings” clauses, (e) provisions that attempt to modify or waive, or have the effect of modifying or waiving, any
                statute of limitations, or (f) provisions evidencing obligations that are inherently vague, indeterminate or indefinite.

          

          

          (vi)          The
                enforceability of any provision contained in any Credit Document restricting or conditioning the assignment of rights under such Credit Document to the extent such restriction or condition is ineffective under Part 4 of Article 9 of the NY
                UCC.

          

          

          (vii)          The
                legality, the permitting or licensing status or the zoning of any structure or any use of any real estate, including without limitation compliance with any building, environmental, hazardous materials, health or safety laws, or any
                municipal by-laws or ordinances.

          

            
              
                


              -5-

            

          

          H.          We have
                assumed without any independent investigation that (i) each party to the Credit Documents at all times relevant thereto is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized,
                and is qualified to do business and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where such qualification is required generally or necessary in order for such party to enforce its rights under such Credit Documents, (ii) each party
                to the Credit Documents at all times relevant thereto, had and has the full power, authority and legal rights under its certificate of incorporation, articles of organization, certificate of formation, partnership agreement, by-laws,
                operating agreement and other governing organizational documents, as the case may be, and the applicable corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other enterprise legislation and other applicable laws, as the case may be, to
                execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under, the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and (iii) each party to the Credit Documents has duly authorized, executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party.

          

          

          I.          We have
                assumed without any independent investigation that (i) each Borrower has received consideration for the incurrence of the obligations applicable to it under the terms of the Credit Documents, (ii) each of the Credit Documents is a valid and
                binding obligation of each party thereto, other than the Borrowers, and (iii) each of the Credit Documents is a valid and binding obligation of each Borrower to the extent that laws other than the federal laws of the United States and the
                laws of the State of New York are applicable thereto. We have also assumed that any underlying obligations covered by any guaranty, or joint-and-several liability arrangements, contained in the Credit Documents, that do not themselves arise
                under the Credit Documents, are valid and binding and enforceable obligations of the applicable obligors with respect thereto.

          

          

          J.          We express no
                opinion as to any provision of the Credit Documents providing for any brokerage, arrangement or similar fee to the extent Section 5-531 of the New York General Obligations Law would apply to any such provision.

          

          

          K.          We express no
                opinion as to Section 10.16 of the Credit Agreement.

          

          

          L.          We express no
                opinion as to any legal requirement that any Person obtain or hold any license, permit, approval, or qualification to do business generally or with regard to the conduct of any particular activity (such as conducting the business of
                lending, banking, insurance, or otherwise) or the ownership or operation of any asset or property in any jurisdiction.

          

          

          M.          Our opinions
                are limited to the Credit Documents and other agreements specifically identified herein, without regard to any agreement or other document incorporated by reference in, or attached to a Credit Document, or otherwise referenced therein.

          

          

          N.          We express no
                opinion as to the effect of laws or regulations applicable to any party to the Credit Documents by reason of, or relating to, such entity’s legal, regulatory, licensing, or permitting status or the nature or extent of its (or any of its
                affiliates’) conduct, business, activities, assets or properties (whether owned or leased) in any jurisdiction.

        [Name of Confirming Bank]

        [Address]

        

        

        Ladies and Gentlemen:

        

        

        Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented and otherwise modified and in effect on the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), among Lincoln National
          Corporation, the Subsidiary Account Parties party thereto, the Banks party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Banks.  Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings.

        

        

        The undersigned is an issuing Bank (the “Issuing Bank”) under the Credit Agreement but is not on the date hereof a bank listed on the most current Bank List of banks approved by the NAIC.  Accordingly, in
          order to be an “NAIC Approved Bank” for the purposes of the Credit Agreement, the undersigned hereby requests that you be a Confirming Bank with respect to the undersigned for the purposes of the Credit Agreement and each Letter of Credit issued
          by the Issuing Bank thereunder.

        

        

        By your signature below, you undertake that any draft drawn under and in strict compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank under the Credit Agreement will be duly honored by you as
          if, and to the extent, you were the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, your liability under all Letters of Credit at any one time issued under the Credit Agreement shall be limited to an amount (the “Liability








            Limit”) equal to the Commitment of the undersigned under the Credit Agreement in effect on the date hereof (an amount equal to $_________), as such Liability Limit may be increased after the date hereof with your prior written consent by
          reason of an increase in the Commitment of the undersigned under the Credit Agreement.  In addition, you hereby irrevocably appoint and designate the Administrative Agent as your attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer of
          Bank of America, to execute and deliver, at any time prior to the Commitment Termination Date in effect on the date of this letter agreement, in your name and on your behalf each Letter of Credit to be confirmed by you in accordance herewith and
          with the Credit Agreement.  You agree that, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, you will furnish to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit may reasonably
          request in order to demonstrate that the Administrative Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for you in connection with the execution and delivery of such Letter of Credit.

        

        

        In consideration of the foregoing, the undersigned agrees that if you shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit, regardless of the identity of the account party of such Letter of Credit, the
          undersigned shall reimburse you by paying to you an amount equal to the amount of the LC Disbursement made by you, such payment to be made not later than noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the undersigned receives notice of
          such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the undersigned receives such notice, if such notice is received on a day which is not a
          Business Day or is not received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day.  The undersigned’s obligations to reimburse you as provided in the foregoing sentence shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
          performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this letter agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of any event or circumstance of the type described in Section 2.11(b) of the Credit Agreement (or of any
          analogous event or circumstance relating to the undersigned).

         

        

        
          
            


          -2-

        

        
        If any LC Disbursement is made by you, then, unless the undersigned shall reimburse the amount of such LC Disbursement to you in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made by you, the unpaid amount thereof shall
          bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date of reimbursement, at the rate per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Rate to but excluding the date three Business Days after such LC
          Disbursement and (ii) from and including the date three Business Days after such LC Disbursement, 2% plus the Federal Funds Rate.

        

        

        This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

        

        

        Please indicate your acceptance of the foregoing terms and conditions by signing the three enclosed copies of this letter agreement and returning (a) one such signed copy to the undersigned at the address indicated
          above, (b) one such signed copy to the Administrative Agent at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Mail Code: IL4-135-09-61, 135 S. LaSalle Street, Chicago, IL 60603, Attention: Angela Larkin (Tel. No. (312) 828-3882; Fax No. (877) 206-8409) and (c) one

        Re:  Subsidiary Joinder Agreement

         

        Ladies and Gentlemen:

        

        

        Reference is made to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of July 31, 2019 among Lincoln National Corporation (the “Company”), the Subsidiary Account Parties party thereto, the Banks
          party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

        

        

        The Company and the “Subject Subsidiary” (as identified on the signature pages below), have executed and hereby deliver this Subsidiary Joinder Agreement, pursuant to Section 10.13(a) of the Credit Agreement, in
          order to designate the Subject Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Account Party to the Credit Agreement.

        

        

        Accordingly, the Company and the Subject Subsidiary hereby represent and warrant and agree that as of the “Effective Date” (as defined below):

        

        

        1.  the Subject Subsidiary is a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company;

         

        2.  the Subject Subsidiary is subject to and bound by each of the obligations, of an Account Party, including a Subsidiary Account Party, contained in the Credit Agreement as if the Subject
          Subsidiary were an original signatory to such Credit Agreement;

         

        3.  each of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.04(e) and 4.05 thereof as to any matter which
          has theretofore been disclosed in writing by the Account Parties to the Banks) are true with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the Effective Date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as
          of a specific date, as of such specific date);

         

        4.  the Guarantee of the Company contained in Article IX of the Credit Agreement applies to all of the obligations of the Subject Subsidiary pursuant thereto;

         

        5.  the Subject Subsidiary’s addresses for notices, other communications and service of process provided for in the Credit Agreement shall be given in the manner, and with the effect, specified in
          Sections 10.01 and 10.09(c) of the Credit Agreement to it at its “Address for Notices” specified on the signature pages below; and

         

        

        
          
            


          -2-

        

        
        This Subsidiary Joinder Agreement shall become effective as of the date (the “Effective Date”) on which the Administrative Agent accepts this Subsidiary Joinder Agreement as provided on the signature pages
          below.  As of the Effective Date, the Subject Subsidiary shall be entitled to the rights, and subject to the obligations, of an Account Party, including a Subsidiary Account Party, contained in the Credit Agreement.  Except as expressly herein
          agreed with respect to the joinder of the Subject Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Account Party, the Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

         

        This Subsidiary Joinder Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  This Subsidiary Joinder Agreement shall be governed by, and
          construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
