and other good and valuable consideration, each Obligor (for itself and its Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives
of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably
release and forever discharge the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each other Secured Party and each of their
respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”)

and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description,
and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter
can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done on or
prior to the date hereof directly arising out of, connected with or related to this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan

Generally. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the
context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”,
 “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The
word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall” and vice versa. Unless

    53


     


    

 


Section 1.04.     Accounting
Terms; GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in
accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the
Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Restatement Effective
Date in GAAP or in the application or interpretation thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies
the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such
notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then the Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders
agree to enter into negotiations in good faith in order to amend such provisions of the Agreement so as to equitably reflect such change
to comply with GAAP with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same
after such change to comply with GAAP as if such change had not been made; provided, however, until such amendments to
equitably reflect such changes are effective and agreed to by the Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, the Borrower’s
compliance with such financial covenants shall be determined on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change
in GAAP becomes effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower covenants and agrees with the
Lenders that whether or not the Borrower may at any time adopt Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification
825, all determinations relating to fair value accounting for liabilities or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall be made on the basis that the Borrower has not adopted Accounting Standard Codification 825. Notwithstanding any other provision
contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and
ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or any successor thereto (including pursuant to Financial Accounting
Standard Board Accounting Standard Codifications), to value any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair market
value”, as defined therein. In addition, notwithstanding Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, GAAP or any other matter, for purposes
of calculating any financial or other covenants hereunder, debt issuance costs shall not be deducted from the related debt obligation.


 


Section 1.05.     Currencies
Generally. At any time, any reference in the definition of the term “Agreed Foreign Currency” or in any other provision
of this Agreement to the Currency of any particular nation means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether or not the name
of such Currency is the same as it was on the date hereof. Except as provided in Section 2.08(b) and the last sentence
of Section 2.15(a), for purposes of determining (i) whether the amount of any Borrowing under the Multicurrency Commitments,
together with all other Borrowings under the Multicurrency Commitments then outstanding or to be borrowed at the same time as such Borrowing,
would exceed the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Commitments, (ii) the aggregate unutilized amount of the Multicurrency Commitments,
(iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure, (iv) the Covered Debt Amount and (v) the Borrowing Base or the Value or the fair
market value of any Portfolio Investment, the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing that is denominated in any Foreign Currency
or the Value or the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the
Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the Foreign Currency of such Borrowing or Portfolio Investment, as the case may be, determined as
of the date of such Borrowing (determined in accordance with the last sentence of the definition of the term “Interest Period”)
or the date of valuation of such Portfolio Investment, as the case may be; provided that in connection with the delivery of any Borrowing
Base Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(d) or (e), such amounts shall be determined as of the date of the delivery
of such Borrowing Base Certificate. Where any amount is denominated in Dollars under this Agreement but requires for its determination
an amount which is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amounts shall be converted into the Foreign Currency Equivalent on the date
of determination. Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing or Loan an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple
amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing or Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign
Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Foreign Currency).


 






    54


     


    

 


Section 1.06.     Special
Provisions Relating to Euro. If at any time after the Restatement Effective Date the Euro becomes
an Agreed Foreign Currency then, from and after such date, eachEach obligation
hereunder of any party hereto that is denominated in the National Currency of a state that is not a Participating Member State on the
date hereof shall, effective from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State, be redenominated in Euro in accordance
with the legislation of the European Union applicable to the European Monetary Union; provided that, if and to the extent that any such
legislation provides that any such obligation of any such party payable within such Participating Member State by crediting an account
of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or such National Currency, such party shall be entitled to pay or repay such
amount either in Euros or in such National Currency. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect
to an Agreed Foreign Currency of any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date on which such currency becomes
an Agreed Foreign Currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of
interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the
date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State; provided that, with respect to any Borrowing denominated in such currency
that is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest Period therefor.


 


Without prejudice to the respective
liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement, each provision of this
Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall reasonably agree
from time to time, to the extent necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction or changeover to the Euro in any country that becomes
a Participating Member State after the Restatement Effective Date; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders
with prior notice of the proposed change with an explanation of such change in sufficient time to permit the Lenders an opportunity to
respond to such proposed change.


 


Section 1.07.     Times
of Day; Interest Rates. Unless otherwise specified in the Loan Documents,
time references are to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable). The Administrative
Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission
or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any comparable
or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor.


 






    55


     


    

 


Section 1.08.     Divisions.
For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division, plan of division or creation or reorganization into one or
more series under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation
or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person (and for all purposes of this Section 1.08,
any series of a Person shall constitute a separate and different “Person”), then it shall be deemed to have been transferred
from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed
to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.


 


Section 1.09.     Issuers.
For all purposes of this Agreement, all issuers of Portfolio Investments that are Affiliates of one another shall be treated as a single
issuer, unless such issuers are Affiliates of one another solely because they are under the common Control of the same private equity
sponsor or similar sponsor.


 


Section 1.10.     Public
Health Events. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders in their
sole discretion, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein and all calculations of any financial or other covenants
(including with respect to the Asset Coverage Ratio (except as expressly provided in Section 6.07(a)) and the definitions
therein) hereunder and all covenants limiting or prohibiting transactions not permitted by law shall be determined, construed and/or
calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any temporary or permanent amendments, supplements, waivers, other modifications and/or
other forms of relief since December 31, 2019 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board and/or any Governmental Authority (including Release No. 33837 and other rules, regulations
and orders issued by the SEC) that arose in connection with, or as a result of, any Public Health Event.


 


Section 1.11.     Rates;
LIBO Screen Rate Notification. The interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined by reference to the Relevant Rate,
which, in the case of Dollars, is derived from the London interbank offered
rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings
from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), the
regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator, the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark
Administration, the “IBA”), announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks
to make rate submissions to the IBA for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. In March 2021, both the FCA
and IBA issued statements confirming that the publication of Pounds Sterling, CHF, Euros and JPY London interbank offered rate (all tenors)
and Dollar LIBO Rate (1-Week and 2-Month) shall cease at the end of 2021. The IBA stated it will publish the remaining Dollar LIBO Rate
tenors (1-, 3-, 6- and 12-Month) until the end of June 2023. As a result, commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate
may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate for the
Loans denominated in Dollars. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to
identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of an event
described in Section 2.11(c)(i)(A)(x) or a Benchmark Transition Event, as applicable, or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 2.11(c) provides
the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.11(c),
of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on a Eurocurrency Loan or RFR Loan is based. However, the Administrative
Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission
or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Relevant Rate” or “Daily
Simple RFR” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation,
(i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.11(c), whether upon the occurrence
of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the
effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.11(c), including without
limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar
to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the London interbank offered rate (or another applicable index rate) or have
the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or another applicable index rate) prior to its discontinuance
or unavailability.

(a)            Obligations
of Lenders. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class, Currency and Type made by the applicable
Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required
to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders
are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.


 






    57


     


    

 


(b)            Type
of Loans. Subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing of a Class shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans,
of SOFR Loans, of RFR Loans or of Eurocurrency Loans of such Class denominated in a single Currency as the Borrower may
request in accordance herewith. Each ABR Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. Each Borrowing denominated

Amounts. Each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000
or a larger multiple of $100,000, and each ABR Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000
in excess thereof or, with respect to any Agreed Foreign Currency, 1,000,000 in the units

excess thereof (or such smaller minimum amount as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent); provided that an
ABRa Borrowing of a Class may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to
the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of such Class. Borrowings of more than one Class, Currency or Type may be outstanding
at the same time.


 


(d)            Limitations
on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any
Eurocurrency Borrowing, SOFR Borrowing or RFR Borrowing (or to elect to convert to or continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing) any
or, if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR, a SOFR Borrowing)
if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Maturity Date.


 


(e)            [Reserved].

(i)            On
the Restatement Effective Date Borrower shall (A) prepay the Existing Loans (if any) in full and (B) simultaneously
borrow new Loans hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment; provided that with respect to subclauses (A) and (B), (x) the
prepayment to, and borrowing from, any Existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid
to such Existing Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Existing Lender and (y) the Existing Lenders shall make and receive
payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans are held
ratably by the Lenders in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lenders (as set forth in Schedule 1.01(b)). Each of
the Lenders consents to any non-pro rata commitment reduction or payment that is a result of the reallocation. Each of the Lenders
agrees to waive repayment of the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.13 as a result of, and solely in connection with,
any such prepayment.


 






    58


     


    

 


(ii)            On
the Restatement Effective Date, substantially contemporaneously with the reallocation described in Section 2.02(f)(i), each
Increasing Existing Lender shall make a payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the other Lenders, in an amount calculated
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such section, so that after giving effect to such payment and to the distribution thereof
to the other Lenders, the Loans are held ratably by the Lenders.


 


Section 2.03.     Requests
for Borrowings.


 


(a)            Notice
by the Borrower. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by delivery of a signed

written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. It is the intention of the Borrower
to use its commercially reasonable efforts to make Borrowings hereunder in a manner such that, after giving effect to each extension
of credit hereunder, each Lender’s outstanding principal amount of its Loans as a percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of all Loans outstanding is in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.


 


(b)            Content
of Borrowing Requests. Each telephonic and written (including an e-mail request) Borrowing Request shall specify the following information
in compliance with Section 2.02:


 


(i)            whether
such Borrowing is to be made under the Dollar Commitments, the Multicurrency Commitments or both (and, if both, the amount of the Borrowing

(v)            in
the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or, if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR, a SOFR Borrowing,

under Section 2.02(d); and


 


(vi)            the
location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.


 


(c)            Notice
by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amounts of such Lender’s Loan to be made
as part of the requested Borrowing.


 


(d)            Failure
to Elect. If no election as to the Class of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall
be deemed to be under both the Multicurrency Commitments and Dollar Commitments, provided however, that if no election as to a Class is
specified but an Agreed Foreign Currency has been specified then the requested Borrowing shall be deemed to be under the Multicurrency
Commitments. If no election as to the Currency of a Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be denominated in Dollars.
If no election as to the Type of a Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be (x) if
the then-current Benchmark is the Adjusted LIBO Rate, a Eurocurrency Borrowing having an Interest Period of one month,
(y) if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR, a SOFR Borrowing having an Interest
Period of one month and (z) if the then-current Benchmark is Daily Compounded SOFR, a SOFR Borrowing
bearing interest at a rate based upon Daily Compounded SOFR and, if an Agreed Foreign Currency has been specified, the requested
Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency and having an Interest Period of one (1) month;
provided, however, if the specified Agreed Foreign Currency is Pounds Sterling, the requested Borrowing shall be an RFR Borrowing denominated
in Pounds Sterling. If a Eurocurrency Borrowing or, if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted
Term SOFR, a SOFR Borrowing, is requested but no Interest Period is specified, (i) if the Currency specified for such
Borrowing is Dollars (or if no Currency has been so specified), the requested Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing or
SOFR Borrowing, as applicable, denominated in Dollars having an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration, and
(ii) if the Currency specified for such Borrowing is an Agreed Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration.

Section 2.04.     Funding
of Borrowings.


 


(a)            Funding
by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately
available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts
so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.


 


(b)            Presumption
by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of
any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and,
in reliance upon such assumption, the Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available
to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available
to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal
Funds Effectiveapplicable Overnight Rate and (ii) in the case of the Borrower,
(x) with respect to Borrowings denominated in Dollars, the interest rate applicable to ABR
Loans and (y) with respect to Borrowings denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency, in accordance with
such market practice, in each case, as applicable. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount
shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.


 


Section 2.05.     Interest
Elections.


 


(a)            Elections
by the Borrower for Borrowings. Subject to Section 2.03(d), the Loans constituting each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type
specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing
(if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR), shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request.
Thereafter, subject to Section 2.05(e), the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to
continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or SOFR
Borrowing (if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR), may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in
this Section; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower may only continue or convert a Borrowing of a Class into
a Borrowing of the same Class, (ii) the Borrower may not continue or convert a Borrowing denominated in one Currency as or to a Borrowing
in a different Currency, (iii) the Borrower may not continue a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency if, after
giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments, and
(iv) the Borrower may not convert a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency to a Borrowing of a different Type.
The Borrower 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 Lenders of the respective Class holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing (except as provided
under Section 2.11(b)), and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b)            Notice
of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by
delivery of a signed Interest Election Request or by telephone (followed promptly, but no later than the close of business on the date
of such request, by a signed Interest Election Request) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03
if the Borrower 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 irrevocable.


 


(c)            Content
of Interest Election Requests. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:


 


(i)            the
Borrowing (including the Class) 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) of this paragraph 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,
in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or,
a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; and


 


(iv)           if
the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, or
a SOFR Borrowing (if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR), the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to
such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d);
provided that there shall be no more than ten (10) separate interest rate contracts (either tenor or benchmark) outstanding at any
one time; provided further, that if a Dollar Loan and a Multicurrency Loan have Interest Periods beginning and ending on the same dates,
they shall be deemed to be a single interest rate contract for the purpose of the limit set forth in this clause (iv), and for the avoidance
of doubt, any ABR Loans do not count against such limit.


 


(d)            Notice
by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.


 






    62


     


    

 


(e)            Failure
to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency
Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing (if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR) prior to the
end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, (i) if
such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Eurocurrency Borrowing
of the same Class having an Interest Period of one (1) month,
and (ii) if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. 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 Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, (i) any Eurocurrency
Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall, at the end of the applicable Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Borrowing, be automatically
converted to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR, any SOFR Borrowing
shall, at the end of the applicable Interest Period for such SOFR Borrowing, be automatically converted to an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if
the then-current Benchmark is Daily Compounded SOFR, any SOFR Borrowing shall immediately be automatically converted to an ABR Borrowing,
(iv) any Daily Simple RFR Borrowing shall immediately be automatically converted to an ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in an
amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the Foreign Currency of such Borrowing), (v) the Borrower shall
not be entitled to elect to convert or continue any Borrowing into or as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a SOFR
Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing and (iiivi)
any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall not have an Interest Period of more than one (1) month’s
duration.


 


Section 2.06.     Termination,
Reduction or Increase of the Commitments.


 


(a)            Scheduled
Termination. On the Revolver Termination Date the Commitments of each Class shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans of all Lenders of such Class outstanding on the Revolver Termination Date and thereafter
to an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans of such Class outstanding after giving effect to each payment of
principal hereunder; provided that, for clarity, no Lender shall have any obligation to make new Loans on or after the Revolver
Termination Date, and any outstanding amounts shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.07.


 


(b)            Voluntary
Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments ratably among each
Class, so long as no Borrowing Request is outstanding, the Borrowing under which would cause the aggregate amount of all outstanding Loans
(including such Borrowing) to exceed the reduced amount of the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments
pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be in an amount (when considered in the aggregate with all reductions being applied contemporaneously
to the Classes being reduced) that is $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrower shall
not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans of any Class in accordance
with Section 2.08, the total Revolving Credit Exposures of such Class would exceed the total Commitments of such Class.


 


(c)            Notice
of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the
Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination
or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall
be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of a Class delivered by the Borrower may state that
such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower
(by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.


 






    63


     


    

 


(d)            Effect
of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of
the Commitments of a Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Commitments.


 


(e)            [Intentionally
omitted]


 


(f)            Increase
of the Commitments.


 


(i)            Requests
for Increase by Borrower. The Borrower may, at any time prior to the Revolver Termination Date, propose that the Commitments hereunder
of a Class be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment Increase”) by notice to the Administrative
Agent specifying each existing Lender (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or each additional lender (each an “Assuming
Lender”) that shall have agreed to an additional Commitment and the date on which such increase is to be effective (the
 “Commitment Increase Date”), which shall be a Business Day at least three Business Days (or such lesser period as the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) after delivery of such notice and 30 days prior to the Revolver Termination
Date; provided that each Lender may determine in its sole discretion whether or not it chooses to participate in a Commitment Increase;
provided, further that:


 


(A)          the
minimum amount of the Commitment (in the aggregate for all relevant Classes) of any Assuming Lender, and the minimum amount of the increase
of the Commitment (in the aggregate for all relevant Classes) of any Increasing Lender, as part of such Commitment Increase shall be $5,000,000
or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in each case, in such other amounts as agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, in its sole discretion),


 


(B)           immediately
after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, the total Commitments of all of the Lenders hereunder shall not exceed $400,000,000;


 


(C)          each
Assuming Lender and the Commitment Increase shall be consented to by the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld);


 


(D)          no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Commitment Increase Date or shall result from the proposed Commitment Increase;
and


 






    64


     


    

 


(E)           the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects
(other than any representation or warranty already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct
in all respects) on and as of the Commitment Increase Date 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).


 


For the avoidance
of doubt, no Lender shall be obligated to agree to an additional Commitment requested by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(f).


 


(ii)           Effectiveness
of Commitment Increase by Borrower. On the Commitment Increase Date for any Commitment Increase, each Assuming Lender part of such
Commitment Increase, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder as of such Commitment Increase Date with a Commitment in the amount set forth
in the agreement referred to in Section 2.06(f)(ii)(y) and the Commitment of the respective Class of any Increasing
Lender shall be increased as of such Commitment Increase Date to the amount set forth in the agreement referred to in Section 2.06(e)(ii)(y);
provided that:


 


(x)           the
Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to noon, New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior
to a time on an earlier date specified by the Administrative Agent) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating
that each of the applicable conditions to such Commitment Increase set forth in the foregoing paragraph (i) has been satisfied; and


 


(y)           each
Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to noon, New York City time on
such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier date specified by the Administrative Agent), an agreement, in form
and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such Lender shall, effective as of such Commitment
Increase Date, undertake a Commitment or an increase of Commitment, in each case of the respective Class, as applicable, duly executed
by such Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent.


 


Promptly following satisfaction of such
conditions, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Class (including any Assuming Lenders) thereof and of
the occurrence of the Commitment Increase Date by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system.


 


(iii)          Recordation
into Register. Upon its receipt of an agreement referred to in clause (ii)(y) above executed by each Assuming Lender and
each Increasing Lender part of such Commitment Increase, as applicable, together with the certificate referred to in clause (ii)(x) above,
the Administrative Agent shall, if such agreement referred to in clause (ii)(y) has been completed, (x) accept such agreement,
(y) record the information contained therein in the Register and (z) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.


 






    65


     


    

 


(iv)          Adjustments
of Borrowings upon Effectiveness of Increase. On each Commitment Increase Date, the Borrower shall (A) prepay the outstanding
Loans (if any) of such Class in full, (B) simultaneously borrow new Loans of such Class hereunder in an amount equal
to such prepayment; provided that with respect to subclauses (A) and (B), (x) the prepayment to, and Borrowing from,
any existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will be subsequently
borrowed from such Lender and (y) the existing Lenders, the Increasing Lenders and the Assuming Lenders shall make and receive payments
among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans of such Class are
held ratably by the Lenders of such Class in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lenders of such Class (after
giving effect to such Commitment Increase) and (C) pay to the Lenders of such Class the amounts, if any, payable under
Section 2.13 as a result of any such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise consented in writing by the Borrower,
no Commitment Increase Date shall occur on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period. The Administrative Agent shall amend
Schedule 1.01(b) to reflect the aggregate amount of each Lender’s Dollar Commitments and Multicurrency Commitments (including
Increasing Lenders and Assuming Lenders). Each reference to Schedule 1.01(b) in this Agreement shall be to Schedule 1.01(b) as
amended pursuant to this Section.


 


(v)            Terms
of Loans issued on the Commitment Increase Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and provisions of any new Loans issued by
any Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, and the Commitment Increase of any Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, shall be identical
to the terms and provisions of Loans of the applicable Class issued by, and the Commitments of the applicable Class of, the
Lenders immediately prior to the applicable Commitment Increase Date.


 


Section 2.07.     Repayment
of Loans; Evidence of Debt.


 


(a)            Repayment.
Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders of each Class the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of such Class and all other
amounts due and owing hereunder and under the other Loan Documents on the Maturity Date.


 


(b)            Manner
of Payment. Subject to Section 2.08(d), prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder,
the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of such Class to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy or e-mail) of such selection not later than the time set forth in Section 2.08(e) prior to
the scheduled date of such repayment; provided that each repayment of Borrowings of a Class shall be applied to repay any
outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class. If the Borrower fails to make a timely selection
of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of
such Class and, second, to any remaining Borrowings of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective
Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Borrowing of a Class shall
be applied ratably to the Loans of such Class included in such Borrowing (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11(b)).


 






    66


     


    

 


(c)            Maintenance
of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the Indebtedness of the
Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts and Currency of principal and interest payable
and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.


 


(d)           Maintenance
of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount
and Currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount and
Currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender of such Class hereunder
and (iii) the amount and Currency of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender’s share thereof.


 


(e)            Effect
of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima
facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and
records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.


 


(f)            Promissory
Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower
shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender
and its permitted registered assigns) and in a form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by
such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented
by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to
such payee and its permitted registered assigns).


 


Section 2.08.     Prepayment
of Loans.


 


(a)            Optional
Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time (but subject to Section 2.08(e)) to prepay
any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or fee (but subject to Section 2.13), subject to the requirements of this
Section. Each prepayment in part under this Section 2.08 shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or, if the total amount
of such Borrowing is less than $1,000,000, the entire remaining outstanding amount of such Borrowing) or a larger multiple of $100,000.


 






    67


     


    

 


(b)            Mandatory
Prepayments Due to Changes in Exchange Rates.


 


(i)            Determination
of Amount Outstanding. On each Quarterly Date and, in addition, promptly upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Currency
Valuation Notice (as defined below), the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure. For
the purpose of this determination, the outstanding principal amount of any Loan that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed
to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Loan, determined as of such Quarterly Date or, in the case of
a Currency Valuation Notice received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, on such Business
Day or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice otherwise received, on the first Business Day after such Currency Valuation Notice
is received. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Multicurrency Lenders and the Borrower
thereof.


 


(ii)            Prepayment.
If on the date of such determination the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the
Multicurrency Commitments as then in effect, the Borrower shall, promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following
the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent described in clause (i) above) prepay the Multicurrency
Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that after giving effect thereto the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure
does not exceed the Multicurrency Commitments.


 


For purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation
Notice” means a notice given by the Required Multicurrency Lenders to the Administrative Agent stating that such notice is a “Currency
Valuation Notice” and requesting that the Administrative Agent determine the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure.
The Administrative Agent shall not be required to make more than one valuation determination pursuant to Currency Valuation Notices within
any rolling three month period.


 


(c)            Mandatory
Prepayments due to Borrowing Base Deficiency. In the event that the amount of total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the total Commitments,
the Borrower shall prepay (subject to Section 2.08(e)) Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that the amount of total
Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the total Commitments. In the event that at any time any Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist,
within 5 Business Days, the Borrower shall either prepay (x) the Loans so that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is promptly cured or
(y) the Loans and the Other Covered Indebtedness in such amounts as shall be necessary so that such Borrowing Base Deficiency is
promptly cured (and, as among the Loans and the Other Covered Indebtedness, at least ratably (based on the outstanding principal amount
of such Indebtedness) as to payments of Loans in relation to Other Covered Indebtedness); provided that, if within such 5 Business
Day period, the Borrower shall present to the Administrative Agent a reasonably feasible plan, which plan is reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, that will enable any such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be cured within 30 Business Days of the occurrence of
such Borrowing Base Deficiency (which 30-Business Day period shall include the 5 Business Days permitted for delivery of such plan) (provided,
however, that with respect to any Borrowing Base Deficiency occurring during the period from and including the Amendment No. 3 Effective
Date to and including the Covid Relief Termination Date, instead of a 30-Business Day cure period, a 10 Business Day cure period shall
apply), then such prepayment or reduction shall be effected in accordance with such plan (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the
limitations set forth above in this Section 2.08(c)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay interest in accordance
with Section 2.10(ce)
for so long as the Covered Debt Amount exceeds the Borrowing Base during such 30-Business Day period. For clarity, in the event that the
Borrowing Base Deficiency is not cured prior to the end of such 5-Business Day period (or, if applicable, such 30-Business Day period),
it shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under Section 7.01(a).


 






    68


     


    

 


(d)            Mandatory
Prepayments due to Certain Events Following Availability Period. Subject to Section 2.08(e) below:


 


(i)            Asset
Sales. In the event that any Obligor shall receive any Net Asset Sale Proceeds at any time after the Availability Period, the Borrower
shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds, prepay the Loans in an amount equal
to 100% of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds (and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount); provided, that with
respect to Asset Sales of assets that are not Portfolio Investments, the Borrower shall not be required to prepay the Loans unless and
until (and to the extent that) the aggregate Net Asset Sale Proceeds relating to all such Asset Sales are greater than $2,000,000.


 


(ii)            Extraordinary
Receipts. In the event (but only to the extent) that the aggregate amount of all Extraordinary Receipts received by the Obligors at
any time after the Availability Period exceeds $2,000,000, the Borrower shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt
of such excess Extraordinary Receipts, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such excess Extraordinary Receipts (and the Commitments
shall be permanently reduced by such amount); provided, that if the Loans to be prepaid are Eurocurrency Loans or,
if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR, SOFR Loans, the Borrower may defer such prepayment (and permanent Commitment
reduction) until the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loans, so long as the Borrower deposits an amount equal to such
excess Extraordinary Receipts, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such excess Extraordinary Receipts, into
a segregated collateral account in the name and under the dominion and control of the Administrative Agent pending application of such
amount to the prepayment of the Loans (and permanent reduction of the Commitments) on the last day of such Interest Period.


 


(iii)            Returns
of Capital. In the event that any Obligor shall receive any Return of Capital at any time after the Availability Period, the Borrower
shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Return of Capital, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100%
of such Return of Capital (and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount); provided, that if the Loans to be
prepaid are Eurocurrency Loans or, if the then-current Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR, SOFR Loans,
the Borrower may defer such prepayment (and permanent Commitment reduction) until the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such
Loans, so long as the Borrower deposits an amount equal to 100% of such Return of Capital, no later than the third Business Day following
the receipt of such Return of Capital, into a segregated collateral account in the name and under the dominion and control of the
Administrative Agent pending application of such amount to the prepayment of the Loans (and permanent reduction of the Commitments) on
the last day of such Interest Period.


 






    69


     


    

 


(iv)            Equity
Issuances. In the event that the Borrower shall receive any Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance of Equity Interests of the Borrower
at any time after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Borrower shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt
of such Net Cash Proceeds, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (x) if such Net Cash Proceeds are received at any time from the
Amendment No. 3 Effective Date until the end of the Availability Period, the lesser of (a) 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds and
(b) the amount required for the Covid Relief Borrowing Base Condition to be satisfied immediately after giving effect to such prepayment
and (y) if such Net Cash Proceeds are received at any time after the Availability Period, the greater of (I) 50% of such Net
Cash Proceeds and (II) the lesser of (a) 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds and (b) the amount required for the Covid Relief
Borrowing Base Condition to be satisfied immediately after giving effect to such prepayment (and, solely in the case of this clause
(y), the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount). In connection with any such prepayment prior to the end of the
Availability Period, the Borrower shall deliver an updated Borrowing Base Certificate as of the date of such prepayment (immediately after
giving effect to any prepayment of Loans (as well as any substantially concurrent acquisitions of Portfolio Investments, distributions
or payment of outstanding Indebtedness) on such date, to the extent applicable).


 


(v)            Indebtedness.
In the event that any Obligor shall receive any Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness at any time after the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date, such Obligor shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, prepay the Loans
in an amount equal to (x) if such Net Cash Proceeds are received at any time from the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date until the
end of the Availability Period, the lesser of (a) 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds and (b) the amount required for the Covid Relief
Borrowing Base Condition to be satisfied and (y) if such Net Cash Proceeds are received at any time after the Availability Period,
100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (and, solely in the case of this clause (y), the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount).
In connection with any such prepayment prior to the end of the Availability Period, the Borrower shall deliver an updated Borrowing Base
Certificate as of the date of such prepayment (immediately after giving effect to any prepayment of Loans (as well as any substantially
concurrent acquisitions of Portfolio Investments, distributions or payment of outstanding Indebtedness) on such date, to the extent applicable).


 






    70


     


    

 


(vi)            Revolver
Termination Date. Not later than the third Business Day following the end of the Availability Period, the Borrower shall use the excess
of (A) Cash and Cash Equivalents of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries over (B) the sum of (i) the amount of the Borrower’s
existing commitments (which include revolving loan or delayed draw term loan commitments the funding of which are not at the discretion
or consent of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries) to make Portfolio Investments as of such date, (ii) any follow on advances or protective
advances anticipated by the Borrower to be made within ninety (90) days after the end of the Availability Period, (iii) the amount
of the Borrower’s existing obligations or the amount of Cash the Borrower reasonably intends to use to make distributions and dividends

(e), (iv) other payments in Cash by the Borrower for operating expenses and other Cash needs (other than for making new Investments)
in the ordinary course of business reasonably expected to occur within ninety (90) days after the end of the Availability Period, in each
case under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) the calculation of which shall be demonstrated
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, and (v) $3,000,000, to prepay the Loans (and the Commitments shall be

Commitment of such Lender, as applicable, on each day during the period from and including the Original Restatement Effective Date to
the earlier of the date the Commitments terminate and the Revolver Termination Date;

Base Certificate delivered before such date of calculation by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(vi) of the Amendment No. 3
or Section 5.01(d) or (e), as applicable (but if no such Borrowing Base Certificate is timely delivered, as determined

Borrowing of a Classor, if the then-current Benchmark is
Adjusted Term SOFR, any SOFR Borrowing of a Class or (y) at any time for any RFR Borrowing or, if the then-current Benchmark
is Daily Compounded SOFR, any SOFR Borrowing (the Currency of such Borrowing herein called the “Affected Currency”):


 


(i)            the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO RateBenchmark
for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period (if applicable) (including because the relevant Screen
Rate is not available or published on a current basis); or


 


(ii)            the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO RateBenchmark
for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining
their respective Eurocurrency Loans, SOFR Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, included in such
Borrowing for such Interest Period (if applicable);


 






    75

SOFR Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency, shall be ineffective and, in
each case, unless prepaid, (x) if the Affected Currency is Dollars, such Borrowing (unless
prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing and, (y) if
the Affected Currency is a Foreign Currency, such Borrowing shall be converted to Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent at such time
and shall be an ABR Borrowing, (iiiii) if the
Affected Currency is Dollars and, any Borrowing
Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing
denominated in Dollars, such Borrowingthe Affected
Currency shall be made as an ABR Borrowing,  and (iiiiv)
if the Affected Currency is a Foreign Currency, any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing or
an RFR Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective. Furthermore, if any
Eurocurrency Loan or SOFR Loan in any Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative
Agent referred to in this Section 2.11(a) with respect to the Benchmark applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan or SOFR Loan, then

Compounded SOFR, as applicable, component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Borrowings of such Lender
shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the
LIBO Rate componentclause (c) of the definition
of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case until such Lender revokes
such notice and advisesnotifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) (A) all Eurocurrency Borrowings
and SOFR Borrowings denominated in Dollars of such Lender shall automatically convert to ABR Borrowings
(the and (B) all RFR Borrowings and Eurocurrency Borrowings
denominated in the Foreign Currency shall automatically convert to Dollars based on the Dollar
Equivalent at such time and shall be ABR Borrowings (in each case, the interest rate on which
ABR Borrowings of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference
to the LIBO Rate componentclause (c) of
the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”) and
(B) all(1) with respect to RFR Borrowings and, if the then-current Benchmark is
Daily Compounded SOFR, SOFR Borrowings, on the immediately succeeding Business Day or (2) with respect to Eurocurrency
Borrowings in an Agreed Foreign Currency of such Lender shall accrue interest at the rate equal to the
cost to each Lender to fund its pro rata share of such Eurocurrency Borrowing (from whatever source and using whatever methodologies as
such Lender may select in its reasonable discretion), in each case, eitherand, if the then-current
Benchmark is Adjusted Term SOFR, SOFR Borrowings, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings and SOFR Borrowings to such day, or immediately,
if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings (in which event Borrower
shall not be required to pay any yield maintenance,
breakage or similar fees)and SOFR Borrowings and (y) if such notice asserts
the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO
Rate, Daily Compounded SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall
during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the
LIBO Rate component thereofclause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”
until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, Daily Compounded
SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR, as applicable. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount
so converted. To the extent any Eurocurrency Borrowing so converted is in
an Agreed Foreign Currency, such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to Dollars based on the Dollar
Equivalent of such Borrowing at the time of such conversion., together with any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13.

succeeding Business Day (it being understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, New
York City time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such RFR Loan into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars),

time) the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower will have the right
to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other
Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action
or consent of any other party to this Agreement (other than the Borrower, whose consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed)or any other Loan Document.


 


(iii)            Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any
occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as
applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (iix)
the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and
(iiiy) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.
Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any
Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.11(c), including
any determination with respect to Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, a tenor, rate or adjustment
or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will
be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party
heretoto this Agreement, or any other Loan Document,
except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11(c).


 






    80


     


    

 



 


(iv) Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability
Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans
to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, (i) in
the case of any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made in Dollars, the
Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request
for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans, (ii) in the case of any request for a Eurocurrency
Borrowing of or conversion to Eurocurrency Loans to be made in any Foreign Currency based on the LIBO Rate, such request will be deemed
to be ineffective and (iii) in the case of any request for a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made in any Foreign Currency
based on the LIBO Rate, such Borrowing shall be converted to Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent
at such time and shall be an ABR Borrowing. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component
of ABR based upon the LIBO Rate will not be used in any determination of ABR.


 


(iv)            Unavailability
of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (x) if the then-current
Benchmark is a term rate (including Adjusted Term SOFR, the Adjusted LIBO Rate, EURIBO Screen Rate, AUD Bank Bill Reference Rate or CDOR
Rate) then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned
for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (y) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed
tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.


 


(v)            Tax
Matters. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower agree to cooperate
in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any applicable requirements under proposed or final United States Treasury
Regulations or other IRS guidance such that the use of an alternative rate of interest pursuant
to this Section 2.11(c) shall
not result in a deemed exchange of any Loan or Obligation under Section 1001 of the Code.


 


Section 2.12.     Increased
Costs.


 


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


 


(i)            impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);


 


(ii)            subject
any Lender to any Taxes (other than Covered Taxes and Taxes described in clauses (a)(ii), (c), (d) and (e) of the definition
of “Excluded Taxes”) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits,
reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or


 


(iii)            impose
on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency
Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;


 






    81


     


    

 


and the result of any of the foregoing shall be
to increase the cost to such Lenders of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Eurocurrency Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.


 


(b)            Capital
Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s parent, if any (or would have the
effect of reducing the liquidity of such Lender or such Lender’s parent, if any), as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans
made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s parent could have achieved but for such Change in
Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s parent with respect to capital adequacy
or liquidity position), by an amount deemed to be material by such Lender, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender,
in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s parent for any such reduction suffered.


 


(c)            Certificates
from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such Lender or its
parent, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be promptly delivered to the Borrower
and shall be conclusive absent manifest error (it being understood that no Lender shall be required to disclose (i) any confidential
or price sensitive information or (ii) any information to the extent prohibited by applicable law). The Borrower shall pay such Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.


 


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


 


Section 2.13.     Break
Funding Payments; Foreign Currency Losses. (a)  In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan,
SOFR Loan or RFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of the occurrence of
any Commitment Increase Date or an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan,
SOFR Loan or RFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (iii) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan, SOFR Loan or RFR Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto (including in connection with any Commitment Increase Date and regardless of whether such notice is permitted
to be revocable under Section 2.08(e) and is revoked in accordance herewith), (iv) the assignment as a result of a request
by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any Eurocurrency Loan, SOFR Loan or RFR Loan
other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor or (v) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan,
SOFR Loan or RFR Loan (other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor) as a result of the occurrence of a CAM Exchange
or otherwise, including without limitation in connection with Section 2.15, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate
each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, SOFR
Loan or RFR Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by
such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of


 


(1)            the
amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan referred to in clauses (i), (ii),
(iii), (iv) or (v) of this Section 2.13 denominated in the Currency of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment,
conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan,
SOFR Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest
Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation), if the
interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rateapplicable
Benchmark for such Currency for such Interest Period, over


 






    82


     


    

 


(2)            the
amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount
for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender) for deposits denominated in such
Currency from other banks in the Eurocurrency market (or, in the case of any Non-LIBO QuotedAgreed
Foreign Currency, in the relevant market for such Non-LIBO QuotedAgreed
Foreign Currency) at the commencement of such period.


 


Payments under this Section shall be made
upon written request of a Lender delivered not later than five Business Days following the payment, conversion, or failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay that gives rise to a claim under this Section accompanied by a written certificate of such Lender setting
forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section (provided
that such Lender shall not be required to disclose any confidential
or pricing information or any other information prohibited to be disclosed by applicable law), which certificate shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.


 


(b)            In
the event that any Loan not denominated in Dollars is converted to, or redenominated in Dollars (including, without limitation, pursuant
to Section 2.15, a CAM Exchange or otherwise), then in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost
or expense attributable to such event.


 


Section 2.14.     Taxes.


 


(a)            Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, unless otherwise required by applicable law; provided that
if an applicable Withholding Agent shall be required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments (as determined in the good faith
discretion of such Withholding Agent), then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deductions or withholdings,
(ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law and (iii) if such Tax is a Covered Tax, the sum payable by the Borrower 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 2.14) the Administrative Agent or Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions or withholdings been made.


 






    83


     


    

 


(b)            Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law.


 


(c)            Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for and, within ten (10) Business Days
after written demand therefor, pay the full amount of any Covered Taxes (including Covered Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable
to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be,
and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation
and explanation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(d)            Indemnification
by the Lenders. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender
an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.14(a) or (c),
each Lender shall, and does hereby, agree severally to indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payable in respect thereof within
ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, (i) against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities
and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) (collectively, “Tax Damages”)
incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result
of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason
(including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative
Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective) and (ii) Tax Damages
attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a
Participant Register. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation and explanation of the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes
the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation
and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations.


 






    84


     


    

 


(e)            Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any U.S. federal withholding Taxes that are Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate
Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence on account
of such Excluded Taxes, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for any incremental Taxes that may become
payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of such failure.


 


(f)            Status
of Lenders.


 


(i)            Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law
or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation
(other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(f)(ii)(A) or (B) or Section 2.14(g) below)
shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender
to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.


 


(ii)            Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S. Person,


 


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


 






    85


     


    

 


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


 


		(1)	in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, or any successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect
to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income”
article of such tax treaty,



 


		(2)	duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor form certifying
that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States,



 


		(3)	in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) a certificate, signed under penalties of perjury, to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (I) a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (II) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (III) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of
the Code and (y) duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable (or any successor form), certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a U.S. Person, or



 


		(4)	any other form as prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in
United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable
law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, including, to the extent a Foreign Lender is
not the beneficial owner, duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY accompanied by Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable,
a certificate substantially similar to the certificate described in Section 2.14(f)(ii)(B)(3)(x) above, Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.



 






    86


     


    

 


(C)            any
Foreign Lender shall upon the expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender, to the extent it is legally
entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time that it becomes aware that it no longer satisfies
the legal requirements to provide any previously delivered form or certificate (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable
law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or
deduction required to be made.


 


(g)            If
a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were
to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of
the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable
law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested
by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by
the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to comply with their obligations
under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount
to deduct and withhold from any such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.14(g), “FATCA” shall include any
amendment made to FATCA after the Restatement Effective Date. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
under this Agreement expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.


 


(h)            Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it
has received a refund (including any credit of any Taxes in lieu of a refund) of any Covered Taxes as to which it has been indemnified
by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall
pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Covered Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or any
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h),
in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) the
payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net position after-Taxes than the Administrative
Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld
or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph
(h) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns or its books or records
(or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.


 






    87


     


    

 


(i)            Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or
any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge
of all obligations under any Loan Document.


 


(j)            Defined
Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.


 


Section 2.15.     Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.


 


(a)            Payments
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or
under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior
to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the
next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent
at the Administrative Agent’s Account, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments
pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative
Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of
such extension.


 






    88


     


    

 


All amounts owing under this
Agreement (including commitment fees, ACR Relief Fees, Borrowing Base Flex Fees and payments required under Sections 2.12 and 2.13,
and payments required under Section 2.14 relating to any Loan denominated in Dollars, but not including principal of and interest
on any Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.14, which are payable
in such Foreign Currency) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) are payable in Dollars.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration,
by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), the unpaid portion of such Loan shall, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, automatically
be redenominated in Dollars on the due date thereof (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor,
on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such
principal shall be payable on demand; and if the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan that is not denominated in Dollars,
such interest shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefor after giving effect to any applicable grace period
(or, if such date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount
equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such interest shall be payable on demand.


 


(b)            Application
of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully
all amounts of principal, interest and fees of a Class then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest
and fees of such Class then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees of such Class then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal of such Class then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.


 


(c)            Pro
Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of a Class shall be made from the Lenders
of such Class, each payment of commitment fees, ACR Relief Fees and Borrowing Base Flex Fees under Section 2.09 shall be made
for the account of the Lenders of the applicable Class, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a Class under
Section 2.06, Section 2.08 or otherwise shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders of such
Class, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of a Class shall
be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the
making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions
and continuations of Loans), subject to Section 2.02(e); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans of a Class by
the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders of such Class pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal
amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them (and, with respect to the pro rata treatment of prepayments between Classes, any
such prepayments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.08(e)); and (iv) each payment of interest
on Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest
on such Loans of such Class then due and payable to the respective Lenders; provided however that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Borrower wishes to make a Multicurrency Borrowing in an Agreed Foreign Currency
and the Multicurrency Commitments are fully utilized, the Borrower may make a Borrowing under the Dollar Commitments (if otherwise permitted
hereunder) and may use the proceeds of such Borrowing to prepay the Multicurrency Loans (without making a ratable prepayment to the Dollar
Loans) solely to the extent that the Borrower concurrently utilizes any Multicurrency Commitments made available as a result of such prepayment
to make (subject to the terms and conditions contained herein) a Multicurrency Borrowing in an Agreed Foreign Currency.


 






    89


     


    

 


(d)            Sharing
of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender of a Class shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion
of the aggregate amount of its Loans, and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender of such Class,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders
of such Class to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably
in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph
shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee
or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall
apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.


 


(e)            Presumptions
of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is
due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative
Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent,
at the Federal Funds Effectiveapplicable Overnight
Rate.


 


(f)            Certain
Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04,
2.15(e) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any
amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under
such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.16.     Defaulting
Lenders.


 


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


 


(a)            commitment
fees pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender to
the extent and during the period such Lender is a Defaulting Lender;


 


(b)            the
Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, two-thirds
of the Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent
to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02, except for any amendment or waiver described in Section 9.02(b)(i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv)); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders,
two-thirds of the Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other Lenders or affected Lenders
(as applicable) shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.


 


In
the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters
that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then, on the date of such agreement, such Lender shall purchase at par the portion
of the Loans of the other Lenders and take such other actions as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for
such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower
while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties,
no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from
such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.


 


Any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether
voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7.01 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from
a Defaulting Lender, will be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the
payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long
as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as
required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower,
to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding
obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower
as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise
directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if: (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of
any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share; and (y) notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied
or waived, such payment will be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being
applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by Lenders pro rata in accordance
with the Revolving Credit Exposures hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that
are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 are hereby deemed paid to and
redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

Section 2.17.     Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.


 


(a)            Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender exercises its rights under Section 2.11(b) or requests compensation
under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower)
use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in
the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the circumstance giving rise to such Lender
exercising its rights under Section 2.11(b) and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any cost or expense not required
to be reimbursed by the Borrower and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.


 


(b)            Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender exercises its rights under Section 2.11(b) or requests compensation under Section 2.12,
or if the Borrower is required to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending
office in accordance with Section 2.17(a), or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting
Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender
to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding 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 principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a
claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment
will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation
if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.


 






    92


     


    

 


(c)            Defaulting
Lenders. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.15(e) or
9.03(c), 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 Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent
to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections 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 Lender under
such Sections, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in
its discretion.

Loan Documents to which the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and/or
such Subsidiary, as applicable. This Agreement constitutes, and each of the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
is a party when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) the application
of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).


 






    93

a default in any material respect under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
or assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any such Person, and (d) except for the Liens
created pursuant to the Security Documents, will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or

Condition; No Material Adverse Effect.


 


(a)     Financial
Statements.     (i)  The financial statements delivered to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01(c) present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the
end of and for the applicable period in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. None of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries

Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2017, there has not been any event, development or circumstance that has had
or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


Section 3.05.     Litigation.

Section 3.06.     Compliance
with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any
Governmental Authority applicable to it (including rules, regulations and orders issued by the SEC) or its property and all indentures,
agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to
any contract or other arrangement, the performance of which by the Borrower could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in any manner under any provision of any agreement or instrument
to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is or may be bound, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice
or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, in each case where such default could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with its respective Constituent Documents in
all material respects.


 


Section 3.07.     Taxes.

material Taxes for which it is directly or indirectly liable and any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other

other charges the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to
which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. The charges,
accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are
adequate in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has given or been requested to give a waiver of the
statute of limitations relating to the payment of any federal, state, local and foreign Taxes or other impositions, and no Tax lien has
been filed with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. There is no proposed Tax assessment against the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, and there is no basis for such assessment. The period within which United States federal income Taxes may be assessed
against any of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has expired for all taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2014.

been made available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or delivered under any Loan Document, taken
as a whole, is complete, true and correct in all material respects and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit

financial projections, pro forma financial information and other forward-looking information which have been delivered to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or delivered under any Loan Document are based upon good faith assumptions and, in the
case of financial projections and pro forma financial information, good faith estimates, in each case, believed to be reasonable at the
time made, it being recognized that (i) such financial information as it relates to future events is subject to significant uncertainty
and contingencies (many of which are beyond the control of the Borrower) and are therefore not to be viewed as fact, and (ii) actual

in a Material Adverse Effect.


 






    96


     


    

 


(c)            Investment
Policies. The Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with the Investment Policies.

sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged
in the same or similar business, operating in the same or similar locations (including, without limitation, directors and officers liability
insurance) and (c) after the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent any certificate or
certificates from the Borrower’s insurance broker or other documentary evidence, in each case, demonstrating the effectiveness of,
or any changes to, such insurance. Each such policy of insurance (other than any director and officer liability insurance policy) shall
name the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as additional insured with respect to liability
policies (and, with respect to casualty policies, to the extent Borrower owns any material tangible Collateral other than documentation
evidencing Portfolio Investments, loss payee) thereunder.


 


Section 5.06.     Books
and Records; Inspection and Audit Rights.


 


(a)            Books
and Records; Inspection Rights. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep, or cause to kept, books of record
and account in accordance with GAAP. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice to the Borrower, at the sole expense of the Borrower, to (i) visit
and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and (ii) discuss its affairs, finances and condition
with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested; provided that
the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall be entitled to have its representatives and advisors present during any inspection of its books
and records; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to pay for more than two such visits and inspections
in any calendar year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any subsequent visits and inspections during
such calendar year.


 


(b)            Audit
Rights. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by Administrative Agent
(including any consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by the Administrative Agent) to conduct evaluations and
appraisals of the Borrower’s computation of the Borrowing Base (and any components thereof) and the assets included in the Borrowing
Base (and any components thereof, including, for clarity, audits of any Agency Accounts, funds transfers and custody procedures), all
at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested. The Borrower shall pay the reasonable, documented fees and expenses of
representatives retained by the Administrative Agent to conduct any such evaluation or appraisal; provided that the Borrower shall
not be required to pay such fees and expenses for more than one such evaluation or appraisal during any calendar year unless an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any subsequent evaluation or appraisal during such calendar year. The Borrower
also agrees to modify or adjust the computation of the Borrowing Base and/or the assets included in the Borrowing Base, to the extent
required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders as a result of any such evaluation or appraisal indicating that such computation
or inclusion of assets is not consistent with the terms of this Agreement, provided that if the Borrower demonstrates that such
evaluation or appraisal is incorrect, the Borrower shall be permitted to re-adjust its computation of the Borrowing Base.


 






    110


     


    

 


(c)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.06 shall impair or affect the rights of the Administrative Agent under
Section 5.12(b)(ii)(I) in any respect.


 


Section 5.07.     Compliance
with Laws and Agreements. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations,
including the Investment Company Act (if applicable to such Person), and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it (including
rules, regulations and orders issued by the SEC) or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it
or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower will maintain and enforce policies and procedures that are designed in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner to promote and achieve compliance, in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower, by the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
and (when acting on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with
any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, in each case, giving due regard to the nature of such Person’s business
and activities.


 


Section 5.08.     Certain
Obligations Respecting Subsidiaries; Further Assurances.


 


(a)            Subsidiary
Guarantors.


 


(i)            Without
limiting Section 6.17, in the event that (1) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall form or acquire any new Subsidiary
(other than a Financing Subsidiary, a CFC or a Transparent Subsidiary), or that any other Person shall become a “Subsidiary”
within the meaning of the definition thereof (other than a Financing Subsidiary, a CFC or a Transparent Subsidiary), (2) any SBIC
Subsidiary shall no longer constitute a “SBIC Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof (in which case such Person shall
be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08), (3) any Structured Subsidiary shall
no longer constitute a “Structured Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
if such Structured Subsidiary ceases to have, in full force and effect, financing provided by an unaffiliated third party) (in which case
such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08), (4) any CFC shall
no longer constitute a “CFC” pursuant to the definition thereof (in which case such Person shall be deemed a “new”
Subsidiary for purpose of this Section 5.08) and (5) any Transparent Subsidiary shall no longer constitute a “Transparent
Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof (in which case such Person shall be deemed a “new” Subsidiary for purposes
of this Section 5.08), the Borrower will, in each case, (i) promptly provide notice thereof to the Administrative Agent
and (ii) on or before thirty (30) days following such Person becoming a Subsidiary or such Financing Subsidiary, CFC or Transparent
Subsidiary, as the case may be, no longer qualifying as such, cause such new Subsidiary or former Financing Subsidiary, former CFC or
former Transparent Subsidiary, as the case may be, to become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” (and, thereby, an “Obligor”)
under the Guarantee and Security Agreement pursuant to a Guarantee Assumption Agreement and to deliver such proof of corporate or other
action, incumbency of officers, opinions of counsel and other documents as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested.


 






    111


     


    

 


(ii)            The
Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to exclude each Structured Subsidiary, each SBIC Subsidiary,
each CFC and each Transparent Subsidiary as an Obligor only for so long as such Person qualifies as a “Structured Subsidiary”,
 “SBIC Subsidiary”, “CFC” or “Transparent Subsidiary”, respectively, pursuant to the definition thereof,
and thereafter such Person shall no longer constitute a “Structured Subsidiary”, “SBIC Subsidiary”, “CFC”
or “Transparent Subsidiary”, respectively, for any purpose of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.


 


(iii)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Excluded Subsidiary shall not become a Subsidiary Guarantor.


 


(b)            Ownership
of Subsidiaries. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take such action from time to time as shall be necessary
to ensure that each of its Subsidiaries is a wholly owned Subsidiary.


 


(c)            Further
Assurances. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, take such action from time to time as shall reasonably
be requested by the Administrative Agent to effectuate the purposes and objectives of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, to:


 


(i)            take
such action from time to time (including filing appropriate Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and executing and delivering
such assignments, security agreements and other instruments) as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to create, in
favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (and any Affiliate thereof that is a party to any Hedging Agreement entered
into with the Borrower) and the holders of any Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness, perfected first-priority security interests and Liens
in the Collateral (subject to Eligible Liens or any Liens described in clause (b) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”);
provided that any such security interest or Lien shall be subject to the relevant requirements of the Security Documents;


 






    112


     


    

 


(ii)            with
respect to each deposit account or securities account of the Obligors (other than (A) any such accounts that are maintained by the
Borrower in its capacity as “servicer” for a Financing Subsidiary or any Agency Account, (B) any such accounts which
hold solely money or financial assets of a Financing Subsidiary, (C) any payroll account so long as such payroll account is coded
as such, (D) withholding tax and fiduciary accounts or any trust account maintained solely on behalf of a Portfolio Investment, (E) checking
accounts of the Obligors that do not contain, at any one time, an aggregate balance in excess of $1,000,000, provided that Borrower will,
and will cause each of its Subsidiary Guarantors to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain control agreements governing any such
account in this clause (E), and (F) any account in which the aggregate value of deposits therein, together with all other such accounts
under this clause (F), does not at any time exceed $75,000, provided that in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A) through
(F), no other Person (other than the depository institution at which such account is maintained) shall have “control”
(within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) over such account), cause each bank or securities intermediary (within the meaning
of the Uniform Commercial Code) to enter into such arrangements with the Collateral Agent as shall be appropriate in order that the
Collateral Agent has “control” (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) over each such deposit account or securities
account (each, a “Control Account”) and in that connection, the Borrower agrees, subject to Sections 5.08(c)(iv) and
(v) below, to cause all cash and other proceeds of Portfolio Investments received by any Obligor to be immediately deposited
into a Control Account (or otherwise delivered to, or registered in the name of, the Collateral Agent) and, both prior to and following
such deposit, delivery or registration such cash and other proceeds shall be held in trust by the Borrower for the benefit and as the
property of the Collateral Agent and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of such Obligor or any other Person (including
with any money or financial assets of the Borrower in its capacity as “servicer” for a Structured Subsidiary, or any money
or financial assets of a Structured Subsidiary, or any money or financial assets of the Borrower in its capacity as an “agent”
or “administrative agent” for any other Bank Loans subject to Section 5.08(c)(v) below);


 


(iii)            cause
the Financing Subsidiaries to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such certificates and agreements, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as it shall determine are necessary to confirm that such Financing Subsidiary qualifies
or continues to qualify as a “Structured Subsidiary” or an “SBIC Subsidiary”, as applicable, pursuant to the definitions
thereof;


 


(iv)            in
the case of any Portfolio Investment consisting of a Bank Loan (as defined in Section 5.13) that does not constitute all of
the credit extended to the underlying borrower under the relevant underlying loan documents and a Financing Subsidiary or Restricted Investment
holds any interest in the loans or other extensions of credit under such loan documents, (x)(1) cause the interest owned by such
Financing Subsidiary or such Restricted Investment, as applicable, to be evidenced by separate execution of relevant loan documentation
by, or assignment documentation in the name of, such Financing Subsidiary or such Restricted Investment, as applicable, and, if such interest
is evidenced by notes, cause such interest to be evidenced by a separate note or notes, which note or notes are either (A) in the
name of such Financing Subsidiary or such Restricted Investment, as applicable, or (B) in the name of the Borrower, endorsed in blank
and delivered to the applicable Financing Subsidiary or applicable Restricted Investment and beneficially owned by such Financing Subsidiary
or such Restricted Investment, as applicable, and (2) not permit such Financing Subsidiary or such Restricted Investment, as applicable,
to have a participation acquired from an Obligor in such underlying loan documents and the extensions of credit thereunder or any other
indirect interest therein acquired from an Obligor; and (y) ensure that, subject to Section 5.08(c)(v) below, all
amounts owing to any Obligor by the underlying borrower or other obligated party are remitted by such borrower or obligated party (or
the applicable administrative agents, collateral agents or equivalent Person) directly to the Custodian Account and no other amounts owing
by such underlying borrower or obligated party are remitted to the Custodian Account;


 






    113


     


    

 


(v)            in
the event that any Obligor is acting as an agent or administrative agent under any loan documents with respect to any Bank Loan (or is
acting in an analogous agency capacity under any agreement related to any Portfolio Investment) and such Obligor does not hold all of
the credit extended to the underlying borrower or issuer under the relevant underlying loan documents or other agreements, ensure that
(1) all funds held by such Obligor in such capacity as agent or administrative agent are segregated from all other funds of such
Obligor and clearly identified as being held in an agency capacity (an “Agency Account”); (2) all amounts owing
on account of such Bank Loan or Portfolio Investment by the underlying borrower or other obligated party are remitted by such borrower
or obligated party to either (A) such Agency Account or (B) directly to an account in the name of the underlying lender to whom
such amounts are owed (for the avoidance of doubt, no funds representing amounts owing to more than one underlying lender may be remitted
to any single account other than the Agency Account); and (3) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such funds, such
Obligor acting in its capacity as agent or administrative agent shall distribute any such funds belonging to any Obligor to the Custodian
Account (provided that if any distribution referred to in this clause (c) is not permitted by applicable bankruptcy law to be made
within such two-Business Day period as a result of the bankruptcy of the underlying borrower, such Obligor shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain permission to make such distribution and shall make such distribution as soon as legally permitted to do so);


 


(vi)            cause
the documentation relating to each Investment in Indebtedness described in paragraph 1 of Schedule 1.01(d) and Schedule
1.01(f) to be delivered to the Custodian as provided therein; and


 


(vii)            in
the case of any Portfolio Investment held by any Financing Subsidiary or any Restricted Investment, including any cash collection related
thereto, ensure that such Portfolio Investment shall not be held in any Custodian Account, or any other account of any Obligor, and shall
be segregated from the accounts holding Collateral.


 






    114


     


    

 


Section 5.09.     Use
of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans only for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(other than the Financing Subsidiaries except as expressly permitted under Section 6.03(e)) in the ordinary course of business,
including making distributions not prohibited by this Agreement and the acquisition and funding (either directly or through one or more
wholly owned Subsidiary Guarantors) of leveraged loans, mezzanine loans, high-yield securities, convertible securities, preferred
stock, common stock and other Portfolio Investments; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any
responsibility as to the use of any of such proceeds. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used in violation of applicable law
or, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any Margin Stock. On the
first day (if any) an Obligor acquires any Margin Stock or at any other time requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the
Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements
of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. Margin Stock shall be purchased by the Obligors only
with the proceeds of Indebtedness not directly or indirectly secured by Margin Stock (within the meaning of Regulation U), or with
the proceeds of equity capital of the Borrower. No Obligor will, to its actual knowledge, directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the
Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds (I) to any Person for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently
(A) subject to, or the subject of, any Sanctions or (B) organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country or (II) for any payments
to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else
acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of any Anti-Corruption
Laws.


 


Section 5.10.     Status
of RIC and BDC. The Borrower shall at all times maintain its status as a RIC under the Code, and as a “business development
company” under the Investment Company Act.


 


Section 5.11.     Investment
Policies. The Borrower shall at all times be in compliance in all material respects with its Investment Policies.


 


Section 5.12.     Portfolio
Valuation and Diversification Etc.; Risk Factor Ratings.


 


(a)            Industry
Classification Groups. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrower shall assign each Eligible Portfolio
Investment to an Industry Classification Group as reasonably determined by the Borrower. To the extent that the Borrower reasonably determines
that any Eligible Portfolio Investment is not adequately correlated with the risks of other Eligible Portfolio Investments in an Industry
Classification Group, such Eligible Portfolio Investment may be assigned by the Borrower to the Industry Classification Group that is
most closely correlated to such Eligible Portfolio Investment.


 






    115


     


    

 


(b)            Portfolio
Valuation Etc.


 


(i)            Settlement-Date
Basis. For purposes of this Agreement, all determinations of whether an investment is to be included as an Eligible Portfolio Investment
or a Non-Core Asset shall be determined on a settlement-date basis (meaning that any investment that has been purchased will not be treated
as an Eligible Portfolio Investment or a Non-Core Asset until such purchase has settled, and any Eligible Portfolio Investment or any
Non-Core Asset which has been sold will not be excluded as an Eligible Portfolio Investment or a Non-Core Asset until such sale has settled),
provided that no such investment shall be included as an Eligible Portfolio Investment or a Non-Core Asset to the extent it has not been
paid for in full.


 


(ii)            Determination
of Values. The Borrower will conduct reviews of the value to be assigned to each of its Eligible Portfolio Investments (and, as required
on Schedule 1.01(f), each of its Non-Core Assets), as follows:


 


(A)            Quoted
Investments External Review. With respect to Eligible Portfolio Investments (including Cash Equivalents) for which market quotations
are readily available and are reflective of an actual trade executed within a reasonable period of such quotation (“Quoted Investments”),
the Borrower shall, not less frequently than once each calendar week, determine the market value of such Quoted Investments which shall,
in each case, be determined in accordance with one of the following methodologies as selected by the Borrower (each such value, an “External
Quoted Value”):


 


(w)            in
the case of public and Rule 144A securities, the average of the recent bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected
by the Borrower,


 


(x)            in
the case of Bank Loans, the average of the recent bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected by the Borrower or an Approved
Pricing Service which makes reference to at least two Approved Dealers with respect to such Bank Loans,


 


(y)            in
the case of any Quoted Investment traded on an exchange, the closing price for such Quoted Investment most recently posted on such exchange,
and


 


(z)            in
the case of any other Quoted Investment, the fair market value thereof as determined by an Approved Pricing Service.


 


(B)            Unquoted
Investments External Review. With respect to Eligible Portfolio Investments for which market quotations are not readily available
(“Unquoted Investments”), other than No External Review Assets, the Borrower shall request an Approved Third-Party
Appraiser to assist the Board of Directors of the Borrower in determining the fair market value of such Unquoted Investments, as at the
last day of each fiscal quarter following the Original Effective Date (each such value, an “External Unquoted Value”)
and to provide the Board of Directors with a written independent valuation report as part of that assistance each quarter. Each such valuation
report shall also include the information required to comply with paragraph 8 and paragraph 22 of Schedule 1.01(d).


 






    116


     


    

 


(C)            Internal
Review. The Borrower shall conduct internal reviews to determine the value of all Eligible Portfolio Investments at least once each
calendar week which shall take into account any events of which the Borrower has knowledge that adversely affect the value of any Eligible
Portfolio Investment (each such value, an “Internal Value”).


 


(D)            Value
of Quoted Investments. Subject to clauses (G), (H) and (I) of this Section 5.12(b)(ii), the “Value”
of each Quoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be the lowest of (1) the Internal Value of such Quoted Investment
as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C), (2) the External Quoted Value of such
Quoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(A) and (3) 102% of the par or face
value of the such Quoted Investment (or, in the case of Preferred Stock, the Liquidation Preference thereof without taking into account
any Accretive Value).


 


(E)            Value
of Unquoted Investments. Subject to clauses (G), (H) and (I) of this Section 5.12(b)(ii),


 


(I)            if
the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) falls
below the range of the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B),
then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of (i) the
Internal Value and (ii) 102% of the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment (or, in the case of Preferred Stock, the Liquidation
Preference thereof without taking into account any Accretive Value);


 


(II)            if
the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) falls
above the range of the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B),
then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of (i) the
midpoint of the range of the External Unquoted Value and (ii) 102% of the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment (or, in the
case of Preferred Stock, the Liquidation Preference thereof without taking into account any Accretive Value); and


 


(III)            if
the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) is
within the range of the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B),
then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of (i) the
Internal Value and (ii) 102% of the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment (or, in the case of Preferred Stock, the Liquidation
Preference thereof without taking into account any Accretive Value);


 






    117


     


    

 


except that:


 


(w)            if
the difference between the highest and lowest External Unquoted Value in such range exceeds an amount equal to 6% of the midpoint of such
range, the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment shall instead be deemed to be the lowest of (i) the lowest External Unquoted
Value in such range, (ii) the Internal Value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C), and (iii) 102% of the
par or face value of such Unquoted Investment (or, in the case of Preferred Stock, the Liquidation Preference thereof without taking into
account any Accretive Value); and


 


(x)            [intentionally
omitted]; and


 


(y)            the
 “Value” of any Unquoted Investment acquired during a fiscal quarter shall be deemed to be equal to the lower of the cost of
such Unquoted Investment and the Internal Value of such Unquoted Investment until such time as the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted
Investment is determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.12(b)(ii)(E) as at the last day of such fiscal
quarter.


 


(F)            Actions
Upon a Borrowing Base Deficiency. If, based upon such weekly internal review (including, as required on Schedule 1.01(f), such
weekly internal review of each of its Non-Core Assets), the Borrower determines that a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or that the Borrowing
Base has declined by more than 15% (or, with respect to the period from the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date to the Covid Relief Termination
Date, the lesser of (x) 10% and (y) the amount, if any, that the Borrowing Base exceeded the Covered Debt Amount in the Borrowing
Base Certificate most recently delivered under this Agreement) from the Borrowing Base stated in the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered
by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, then the Borrower shall, promptly and in any event within two Business Days as provided in
Section 5.01(e), deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the new amount of the Borrowing Base and shall take the actions,
and make the payments and prepayments (if any), all as more specifically set forth in Section 2.08(c).


 


(G)            Failure
to Determine Values. If the Borrower shall fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as at any date pursuant
to the requirements (but subject to the exclusions) of the foregoing sub-clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E), then the “Value”
of such Eligible Portfolio Investment as at such date shall be deemed to be zero.


 






    118


     


    

 


(H)            Adjustment
of Values. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion exercised
in good faith, may, and upon the request of Required Lenders, shall, revise the Value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment (in which case
the “Value” of such Eligible Portfolio Investment shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to be the Value assigned by the
Administrative Agent) and/or exclude any Eligible Portfolio Investment from the Borrowing Base entirely, so long as the aggregate reduction
in the Borrowing Base resulting from all such revisions and exclusions in any fiscal quarter does not exceed 7.5%. Any such revision or
exclusion shall be effective ten Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s delivery of notice thereof to the Borrower.


 


(I)            Testing
of Values; Valuation Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall at any time have the right
to request any Unquoted Investment be independently valued by an Approved Third-Party Appraiser retained by the Administrative Agent.
There shall be no limit on the number of such appraisals requested by the Administrative Agent and the costs of any such valuation shall
be at the expense of the Borrower. If the difference between the Borrower’s valuation pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(E) and
the valuation of any Approved Third-Party Appraiser retained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.12(b)(ii)(I) is
(1) less than 7.5% of the value thereof, then the Borrower’s valuation pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(E) shall
be used, (2) between 7.5% and 20% of the value thereof, then the valuation of such Portfolio Investment shall be the average of the
value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(E) and the value determined by the Approved Third-Party
Appraiser retained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.12(b)(ii)(I) and (3) greater than 20%
of the value thereof, then the valuation of such Portfolio Investment shall be the lesser of the Borrower’s valuation pursuant to
Section 5.12(b)(ii)(E) and the valuation of any Approved Third-Party Appraiser retained by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to this Section 5.12(b)(ii)(I).


 


(c)            Investment
Company Diversification Requirements. The Borrower (together with its Subsidiaries to the extent required by the Investment Company
Act) will at all times comply with the portfolio diversification and similar requirements set forth in the Investment Company Act applicable
to business development companies. The Borrower will at all times, subject to applicable grace periods set forth in the Code, comply with
the portfolio diversification and similar requirements set forth in the Code applicable to RICs.


 


Section 5.13.     Calculation
of Borrowing Base. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” shall be determined, as at any date of
determination, as the sum without duplication of (i) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (x) the Value of each Eligible
Portfolio Investment by (y) the applicable Advance Rate, expressed as a fraction (the amount calculated in this clause (i) as
adjusted pursuant to the proviso below, the “Unadjusted Borrowing Base”) plus (ii) solely from the Amendment
No. 3 Effective Date to the Covid Relief Termination Date, the Borrowing Base Flex; provided that:


 


(a)            the
Advance Rate applicable to the aggregate Value of all Eligible Portfolio Investments in their entirety shall be 0% at any time when the
Unadjusted Borrowing Base is composed entirely of Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by less than 15 different issuers;


 






    119


     


    

 


(b)            with
respect to all Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by a single issuer, the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the Value of such
Eligible Portfolio Investments that exceeds 7.5% of the Obligors’ Net Worth shall be 0%; provided that, with respect to each
of the six (6) largest Portfolio Companies (based on the fair value of the Eligible Portfolio Investments), only that portion of
the Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by such Portfolio Company that exceeds 10% of the Obligors’ Net Worth shall have an Advance

“ABL Transactions”
has the meaning assigned to such term in the definition of LTV Transaction.


 






    123


     


    

 


“Advance Rate” means,
as to any Eligible Portfolio Investment and subject to adjustment as provided above, the following percentages with respect to such Eligible
Portfolio Investment:


 


	Eligible Portfolio Investment	Unquoted	Quoted
	Cash and Cash Equivalents (including Short-Term U.S. Government Securities)	n/a	100%
	Long-Term U.S. Government Securities 	n/a	85%
	Performing First Lien Bank Loans 	67.5%	72.5%
	Performing Last Out Loans and Performing LTV Transactions	60%	65%

provided,
that, at any time the Asset Coverage Ratio is less than 1.67 to 1 and the contribution of First Lien Bank Loans (including, for

reported in the most recently delivered monthly Borrowing Base Certificate) every Advance Rate in the table above that is below the line
for “Performing First Lien Bank Loans” shall be 5% less than the applicable rate indicated in the table. For the avoidance
of doubt, the above categories are intended to be indicative of the traditional investment types in a fully capitalized issuer. All determinations
of whether a particular Portfolio Investment belongs to one category or another shall be made by the Borrower on a consistent basis with
the foregoing. For example, a secured bank loan solely at a holding company, the only assets of which are the shares of an operating company,
may constitute Mezzanine Investments, but would not ordinarily constitute a First Lien Bank Loan.

Investment” means an Eligible Portfolio Investment which is an Investment in Indebtedness.


 


“Defaulted Obligation”
means:


 


(a)

period);

any Eligible Portfolio Investment (i) as to which, with respect to such Eligible Portfolio Investment or any material debt obligation
of the applicable Portfolio Company, a default rate of interest has been and continues to be charged for more than 120 consecutive days,
or a default has occurred and the holders of such debt have accelerated all or a portion of the principal amount thereof as a result of
such default, or foreclosure on collateral for such debt has been commenced and is being pursued by or on behalf of the holders thereof;

Liens granted by the applicable bankruptcy court or federal district court in relation to the Loan are super-priority Liens and have not

other than cash; and (j) no portion of the DIP Loan has been credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise. For the purposes of this definition, an order is a “final order” if the applicable period for filing a motion to

event described in clause (h), (i) or (j) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance
of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or
all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall
terminate immediately; (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 Borrower accrued hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event described in clause (h), (i) or
(j) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together
with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
waived by the Borrower and (iii) without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of the Administrative Agent’s
or the Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Document, or as otherwise provided under or pursuant to any applicable law or
agreement.


 






    149


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, on the CAM Exchange Date, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by law, (a) the Commitments shall
automatically and without further act be terminated, the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have exchanged
interests in the Designated Obligations such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in the Designated Obligations under each Loan
in which it shall participate as of such date, such Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in the Designated
Obligations under each of the Loans, whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, and (b) simultaneously
with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (a) above, the interests in the Designated Obligations to be received in
such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent of such amount
(as of the Business Day immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date) and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders
in respect of such Designated Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. Each Lender,
each Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 9.04 and the Borrower hereby consents and
agrees to the CAM Exchange. It is understood and agreed that the CAM Exchange, in itself, will not affect the aggregate amount of Designated
Obligations owing by the Obligors. The Borrower and the Lenders agree from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence
and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to
surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery
of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of the Borrower to execute or deliver or of any Lender
to accept such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.


 


As a result of the CAM Exchange,
on and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the
Designated Obligations shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages (to be redetermined
as of each such date of payment). Any direct payment received by a Lender on or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off,
in respect of a Designated Obligation shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.


 


Article VIII


 


THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT


 


Section 8.01.     Appointment.


 


(a)            Appointment
of the Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.


 






    150


     


    

 


(b)            Appointment
of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent is hereby confirmed and reaffirmed as having been appointed as the collateral agent
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and in such capacity has been and is authorized to have all the rights and benefits hereunder
and thereunder (including Section 9 of the Guarantee and Security Agreement), and to take such actions on its behalf and
to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition to the rights, privileges and immunities in the Guarantee and Security Agreement, the
Collateral Agent has been and shall be entitled to all rights, privileges, immunities, exculpations and indemnities of the Administrative
Agent for such purpose and each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Article VIII shall be deemed to include the Collateral
Agent.


 


Section 8.02.     Capacity
as Lender. The Person serving as an Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates
may (without having to account therefor to any other Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder, and such
Person and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof for
services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders.


 


Section 8.03.     Limitation
of Duties; Exculpation. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action
or exercise any discretionary powers, except, solely in the case of the Administrative Agent, discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise upon receipt of and pursuant
to specific instruction in writing to do so delivered by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly
provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent is not required to take any action that,
in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan 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 Lender in violation of any Debtor
Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose,
nor shall any Agent be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, including under the circumstances
as provided in Section 9.02 or Article VIII of this Agreement) or in the absence of its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed
to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent
shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or
in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements
or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of any
Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents or the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required
to be delivered to such Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative
Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall
not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London
interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Adjusted
LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or
successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such
alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(i), whether upon the occurrence of an Early Opt-in
Election or otherwise, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.13(c)(ii)),
including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference
rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Adjusted LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity
as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.


 






    151


     


    

 


Section 8.04.     Reliance.
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person. Each Agent also
may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan
that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory
to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.
Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by
it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or
experts.


 






    152


     


    

 


Section 8.05.     Sub-Agents.
Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by
such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective
Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties
of any Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent. The Administrative Agent is not responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that
the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.


 


Section 8.06.     Resignation;
Successor Administrative Agent. Any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and, solely in the case of the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, solely in the case of the Administrative
Agent, the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld (provided that no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after any retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then, solely with respect to
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective except that in the case of
any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed
and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) the Required
Lenders shall perform the duties of the Administrative Agent (and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through
the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly) until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring (or retired) Agent and such
retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in
this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise
agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the provisions
of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign in accordance with the Guarantee
and Security Agreement.


 


Section 8.07.     Reliance
by Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under
or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.


 






    153


     


    

 


Section 8.08.     Modifications
to Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) or 9.02(c) with respect to this Agreement,
the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly
provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any
of the Loan Documents; provided that, without the prior consent of each Lender, no Agent shall (except as provided herein or in
the Security Documents) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the
Liens under any Security Document providing for collateral security, agree to additional obligations being secured by all or substantially
all of such collateral security, or alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the benefits of the Liens created under
the Security Documents with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral, except that no such consent shall be required, and
each Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering property that is the subject of either a disposition of property permitted
hereunder or a disposition to which the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents) have consented.

(iv)           such

entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection

Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually
to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Security
Agreement), it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the

    155


     


    

 


(b)            In
furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of any Hedging Agreement, the obligations under
which constitute Hedging Agreement Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto
any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Obligor under any Loan Document.
By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Hedging Agreements

respectively, under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations

(c)            Neither

Loan Document shall be automatically released, and the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to take any action with
respect to such release: (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent,
unasserted indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations); (b) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise
disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or (c) subject
to Section 9.02, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage

its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 8.11.


 


Section 8.13.     Third
Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and no Obligor
will have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.


 


Section 8.14.     Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Loan will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on the Borrower) will be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise:


 






    156


     


    

 


(a)            to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations
that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured
Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective
agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under Section 2.09 and otherwise hereunder) allowed in such
judicial proceeding; and


 


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


 


and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments
to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders,
to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative
Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent hereunder.


 


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


 


Section 8.15.     Credit
Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit
bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all
of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through
one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of
the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions
to which an Obligor is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or
with the consent or at the direction of) the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable
law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be,
and shall be, credit bid by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations
with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall
vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating
the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle
or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Collateral Agent shall be
authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles,
(ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without
any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the
Collateral Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided
that any actions by the Collateral Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets
or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by
the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable
acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the
limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Collateral Agent on behalf
of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant
Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests,
in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party
or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition
vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured
Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise),
such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Secured
Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations
shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding
that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles
as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured
Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle)
as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission
of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.


 






    157


     


    

 


Section 8.16.     Erroneous
Payment.


 


(a)            If
the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured
Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”)
that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately
succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were
erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not
known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment
or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”)
and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property
of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.16 and held in trust for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such
funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter,
return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made,
in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such
Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative
Agent in same day funds at the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient
under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.


 






    158


     


    

 


(b)            Without
limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured
Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns) agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether
received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent
(or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement
or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment,
prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative
Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was
transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then in each such case:


 


(i)            it
acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed
to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been
made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and


 


(ii)            such
Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in
all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately
preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the
details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.16(b).


 


For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver
a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.16(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s
obligations pursuant to Section 8.16(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.


 






    159


     


    

 


(c)            Each
Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to
such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender
or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under
the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.


 


(d)


 


(i)            In
the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment
(or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf)
(such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such
Lender at any time then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto)), (A) such
Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous
Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or
such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment
Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus
any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together
with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating
an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties
are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any promissory notes evidencing
such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the
effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired
the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall
become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender
hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under
the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment and (E) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject
to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.


 






    160


     


    

 


(ii)            Subject
to Section 9.04 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)),
the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon
receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the
net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and
claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no
Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has
sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the
applicable Lender or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous
Payment Subrogation Rights”).


 


(e)            The
parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by
the Borrower or any other Obligor, except, in each case, to the extent such
Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative
Agent from the Borrower or any other Obligor for the purposes of making such Erroneous Payment.


 


(f)            To
the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives,
and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim
by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based
on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine


 


(g)            Each
party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(iii)           if
to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.


 


Any party hereto may change
its address or telecopy number or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.
All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to
have been given on the date of receipt. Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below,
shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).


 


(b)            Electronic
Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication
(including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.03 if such Lender has notified the Administrative
Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the
Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant
to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.


 






    163


     


    

 


Unless the Administrative Agent
otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s
receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available,
return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal
business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next
Business Day, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed
receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice
or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.


 


(c)            Posting
of Communications.


 


(i)            For
so long as DebtdomainTM or an equivalent website is available to each of the Lenders hereunder, the Borrower may satisfy its obligation
to deliver documents to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under Section 5.01 by delivering either an electronic copy
or a notice identifying the website where such information is located for posting by the Administrative Agent on DebtdomainTM or
such equivalent website (and, at the request of the Administrative Agent, one hard copy thereof to the Administrative Agent); provided
that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to maintain access to DebtdomainTM or an equivalent website.


 


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


 


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


 






    164


     


    

 


(iv)          THE
APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE
PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC
PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS.
NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES
IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER,
ANY BOOKRUNNER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY
OBLIGOR, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY OBLIGOR’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT FOR DIRECT DAMAGES THAT
A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION DETERMINES IN A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ACTED WITH GROSS NEGLIGENCE
OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT IN THE SELECTION OF SUCH SUB-AGENTS.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    165


     


    

 


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


 


Section 9.02.     Waivers;
Amendments.


 


(a)            No
Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the
Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent
or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.


 


(b)            Amendments
to this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement
or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the
consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, subject to Section 2.16(b), no such agreement shall


 


(i)             increase
the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender,


 


(ii)            reduce
the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent
of each Lender directly affected thereby,


 


(iii)            postpone
the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable to a
Lender hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment,
without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (other than any waiver of the default rate of interest),


 


(iv)            change
Section 2.15(b), (c) or (d) (or other sections referred to therein to the extent relating to pro
rata payments) in a manner that would alter the pro rata reduction of commitments, sharing of payments, or making of disbursements, required
thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,


 






    166


     


    

 


(v)            change
any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other
provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination
or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender,


 


(vi)            change
any of the provisions of the definition of the term “Agreed Foreign Currency” or any other provision hereof specifying the
Foreign Currencies in which each Multicurrency Lender must make Multicurrency Loans, or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder
with respect to the definition of “Agreed Foreign Currencies” without the written consent of each Multicurrency Lender, or


 


(vii)            permit
the assignment or transfer by any Obligor of any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the written consent of
each Lender;


 


provided
further that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent hereunder
without the prior written consent of such affected Agent, and (y) the consent of Lenders holding not less than two-thirds of the
total Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments will be required for (A) any change adverse to the Lenders affecting the
provisions of this Agreement relating to the Borrowing Base (including the definitions used therein), or the provisions of Section 5.12(b)(ii),
and (B) any release of any material portion of the Collateral other than for fair value or as otherwise permitted hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no waiver or modification of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Lenders of any Class in a manner
that does not affect all Classes in the same manner shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class unless the Required Lenders
of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver, amendment or modification as provided above; provided, however, for
the avoidance of doubt, in no other circumstances shall the concurrence of the Required Lenders of a particular Class be required
for any waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.


 


For purposes of this Section,
the “scheduled date of payment” of any amount shall refer to the date of payment of such amount specified in this Agreement,
and shall not refer to a date or other event specified for the mandatory or optional prepayment of such amount. In addition, whenever
a waiver, amendment or modification requires the consent of a Lender “affected” thereby, such waiver, amendment or modification
shall, upon consent of such Lender, become effective as to such Lender whether or not it becomes effective as to any other Lender, so
long as the Required Lenders consent to such waiver, amendment or modification as provided above.


 






    167


     


    

 


(c)            Amendments
to Security Documents.  No Security Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except to the extent
otherwise expressly contemplated by the Guarantee and Security Agreement or the Custodian Agreement, as applicable, and the Liens granted
under the Guarantee and Security Agreement may not be spread to secure any additional obligations (including any increase in Loans hereunder,
but excluding (i) any such increase pursuant to a Commitment Increase under Section 2.06(f) to an amount not greater
than the amount specified in Section 2.06(f)(i)(B)(x) and (ii) any Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness permitted hereunder) except
to the extent otherwise expressly contemplated by the Guarantee and Security Agreement and except pursuant to an agreement or agreements
in writing entered into by the Borrower, and by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that,
subject to Section 2.16(b), (i) without the written consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the total Revolving
Credit Exposures and unused Commitments, no such waiver, amendment or modification to the Guarantee and Security Agreement shall (A) release
any Obligor representing more than 10% of the Total Net Assets of the Borrower from its obligations under the Security Documents, (B) release
any guarantor representing more than 10% of the Total Net Assets of the Borrower under the Guarantee and Security Agreement from its
guarantee obligations thereunder, or (C) amend the definition of “Collateral” under the Security Documents (except to
add additional collateral) and (ii) without the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall (W) release all or
substantially all of the Obligors from their respective obligations under the Security Documents, (X) release all or substantially
all of the collateral security or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under the Security Documents, (Y) release
all or substantially all of the guarantors under the Guarantee and Security Agreement from their guarantee obligations thereunder, or
(Z) alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the Liens created under the Security Documents (except in connection
with securing additional obligations equally and ratably with the Loans and other obligations hereunder) with respect to the collateral
security provided thereby; except that no such consent described in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be required, and the Administrative
Agent is hereby authorized (and so agrees with the Borrower) to direct the Collateral Agent under the Guarantee and Security Agreement,
to release any Lien covering property (and to release any such guarantor) that is the subject of either a disposition of property
permitted hereunder or a disposition to which the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided
for herein or in the other Loan Documents) have consented, or otherwise in accordance with Section 9.15.


 


(d)            Replacement
of Non-Consenting Lender. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring (i) the consent of “each
Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” or (ii) the consent of “two-thirds of the holders of the total
Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments”, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary
Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then the Borrower shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to replace each such Non-Consenting Lender
or Lenders with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17(b) so long as at the time of such replacement,
each such replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination.


 


(e)            Ambiguity,
Omission, Mistake or Typographical Error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together
identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
that, without correction, would materially affect the intent of such provision, would cause more credit to be available to the Borrower
or would adversely affect the Lenders in any way; provided that any amendment that would require the consents set forth in clauses
(i) through (vi) of Section 9.02(b) or the proviso thereto shall be material for purposes of this
Section 9.02(e), then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision
to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any
further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide
each Lender with a copy of such amendment.


 






    168


     


    

 


Section 9.03.     Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver.


 


(a)            Costs
and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable documented and out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of up to one
firm of outside counsel (plus any necessary special or local outside counsel in each jurisdiction where the nature of the Collateral
requires such additional counsel and, solely in the case of an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel
in each applicable jurisdiction to the affected Persons) for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent collectively (other than
the allocated costs of internal counsel), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation
and administration (other than internal overhead charges) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications
or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated),
(ii) all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, including
the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any
Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during
any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof and (iii) and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, taxes,
assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest
contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein.


 


(b)            Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons
(each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (other than Taxes or Other Taxes which shall only be indemnified by the Borrower
to the extent provided in Section 2.14), including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for any Indemnitee (other than the allocated costs of internal counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of,
in connection with, or as a result 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 the consummation of the Transactions or any
other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom 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 whether brought by the Borrower, any Indemnitee or a third party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto IN ALL
CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE
INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.


 






    169


     


    

 


The Borrower shall not be liable
to any Indemnitee for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages (other than in
respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party)) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of
the Transactions asserted by an Indemnitee against the Borrower or any other Obligor; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not
be deemed to impair or affect the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding provisions of this subsection.


 


(c)            Reimbursement
by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Agent under paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, as the
case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability
or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent in its capacity as such or against any Related
Party of any of the foregoing acting for any Agent (or any sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.


 


(d)            Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each hereby
waives, any claim against any other party to this Agreement on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No party to this Agreement shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such
Person, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


(e)            Payments.
All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.


 


(f)            No
Fiduciary Relationship. Each Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this
paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
their equityholders and/or their affiliates. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, agrees that nothing in the
Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty
between the Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, its equityholders or its Affiliates, on the other.
The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries each acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents
(including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders,
on the one hand, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading
thereto, (x) except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their equityholders or affiliates (irrespective of whether
any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, their equityholders or their affiliates
on other matters) and (y) each Lender is acting hereunder solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, their management, equityholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower and each Obligor each acknowledge
and agree that it 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. The Borrower and each Obligor
each agree that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services hereunder of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary
duty to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, in connection with such transactions contemplated hereby or the process
leading thereto.

Section 9.04.     Successors
and Assigns.


 


(a)            Assignments
Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
except in accordance with this Section (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender which is not in accordance with this
Section shall be treated as provided in the last sentence of Section 9.04(b)(iii)). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.


 


(b)            Assignments
by Lenders.


 


(i)             Assignments
Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing
to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:


 


(A)           the
Borrower, provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender,
or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented
to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days
after having received written notice thereof; and


 






    171


     


    

 


(B)            the
Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment by a Lender to
a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender with prior written notice by such assigning Lender to the Administrative Agent.


 


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


 


(A)            except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment or Loans of a Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of such Class of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided
that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;


 


(B)            each
partial assignment of any Class of Commitments or Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Class of Commitments and Loans;


 


(C)            the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption in substantially the form
of Exhibit A hereto, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee shall not be payable in connection
with an assignment to a Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender), for which the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be obligated
(except in the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 2.17(b)); and


 


(D)            the
assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender of the applicable Class, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.


 


(iii)            Effectiveness
of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13,
2.14 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided
that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute
a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender). Any assignment
or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (f) of this Section.


 






    172


     


    

 


(c)            Maintenance
of Registers by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for
the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount and stated interest of the Loans
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Registers” and each individually, a “Register”).
The entries in the Registers shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Registers pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. The Registers shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


 


(d)            Acceptance
of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender
and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder),
the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph.


 


(e)            Special
Purposes Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”)
may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) owned or administered by such Granting Lender, identified
as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide all or
any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make; provided that (i) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide
all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, make such Loan pursuant to the terms
hereof, (iii) the rights of any such SPC shall be derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender, and such SPC shall be subject
to all of the restrictions upon the Granting Lender herein contained, and (iv) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12
(or any other increased costs protection provision), 2.13 or 2.14. Each SPC shall be conclusively presumed to have made arrangements
with its Granting Lender for the exercise of voting and other rights hereunder in a manner which is acceptable to the SPC, the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Obligors shall be entitled to rely upon
and deal solely with the Granting Lender with respect to Loans made by or through its SPC. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall
utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender.


 






    173


     


    

 


Each party hereto hereby agrees
(which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the
payment in full of all outstanding senior Indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting
against, such SPC, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the
laws of the United States or any State thereof, in respect of claims arising out of this Agreement; provided that the Granting
Lender for each SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense
arising out of their inability to institute any such proceeding against its SPC. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section, any SPC may (i) without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without
paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Lender or to any financial
institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to
support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans (but nothing contained herein shall be construed in derogation
of the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Loans hereunder); provided that neither the consent of the SPC nor of any such
assignee shall be required for amendments or waivers hereunder except for those amendments or waivers for which the consent of participants
is required under paragraph (f) below, and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis (in the same manner described in Section 9.13(b)) any
non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit
or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.


 


(f)            Participations.
Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments
and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement
or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent
of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that
affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including
Sections 2.14(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.14(f) and
(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of
Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. Each Lender that sells
a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate
the provisions of Section 2.17 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.15(d) as though it were a Lender hereunder. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for
this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant
and the principal amounts and stated interest of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents
(each a “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion
of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest
in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that
such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in each Participant Register shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative
Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.


 






    174


     


    

 


(g)            Limitations
on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13 than
the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale
of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign
Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 2.14(f) as
though it were a Lender (it being understood that that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered
to the participating Lender).


 


(h)            Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having
jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided
that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute
any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


 


(i)             No
Assignments or Participations to the Borrower or Affiliates or Certain Other Persons. Anything in this Section to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Lender may (i) assign or participate any interest in any Commitment or Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower
or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender, or (ii) assign any interest in any Commitment
or Loan held by it hereunder to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the
primary benefit of, a natural person) or to any Person known by such Lender at the time of such assignment to be a Defaulting Lender,
a Subsidiary of a Defaulting Lender or a Person who, upon consummation of such assignment would be a Defaulting Lender.


 






    175


     


    

 


(j)             Multicurrency
Lenders. Any assignment by a Multicurrency Lender, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, must be to a Person
that is able to fund and receive payments on account of each outstanding Agreed Foreign Currency at such time without the need to obtain
any authorization referred to in clause (c) of the definition of “Agreed Foreign Currency.”


 


Section 9.05.     Survival.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered
in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation
or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or
any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as
the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03
and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision
hereof.


 


Section 9.06.     Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.


 


(a)            Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire
contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective
when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to
this Agreement by telecopy or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.


 


(b)            Electronic
Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import
in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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.


 






    176


     


    

 


Section 9.07.     Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any
other jurisdiction.


 


Section 9.08.     Right
of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Obligor, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf,
on behalf of its Subsidiaries and on behalf of each Obligor) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by
such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and all the obligations of any Obligor now
or hereafter existing under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or
unmatured, or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit
or obligated on such Indebtedness; provided that such Lender shall not exercise any right of setoff given in this Section 9.08
without obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have;
provided that in the event any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off will be paid
over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and,
pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (b) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement
describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender
agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.


 


Section 9.09.     Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.


 


(a)            Governing
Law. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents (unless otherwise set forth therein) shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the law of the State of New York.


 






    177


     


    

 


(b)            Submission
to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern
District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document (unless otherwise set forth therein), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined
in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in
any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.


 


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


 


(d)            Service
of Process. Each party to this Agreement (i) irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in
Section 9.01 and (ii) agrees that service as provided in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01 is sufficient
to confer personal jurisdiction over such party in any proceeding in any court and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service
in every respect. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.


 


Section 9.10.     WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO
A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY
OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.


 


Section 9.11.     Judgment
Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the case may
be (the “Specified Currency”) and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency (the “Specified
Place”) is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated
in the Specified Currency. Subject to Section 2.15(a), the payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be
discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the
extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures
does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency in the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in
any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Other Currency”),
the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative
Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment
is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder
or under any other Loan Document (in this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the
rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt
by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Other Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal
banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Other Currency so adjudged
to be due; and the Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled
Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally
due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

Section 9.12.     Headings.
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 9.13.     Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality.


 


(a)            Treatment
of Certain Information. The Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services
may be offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by
any Agent or Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Agent or Lender and the Borrower hereby authorizes each Agent
and Lender to share any information delivered to such Agent or Lender by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement,
or in connection with the decision of such Agent or Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being
understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of
this Section as if it were an Agent or Lender (as applicable) hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loan,
the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. The Administrative Agent,
each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender”), may have economic
interests that conflict with those of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and/or their Affiliates.


 






    179

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and consultants and to its and its Affiliates’ and consultants’
respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons

of their respective businesses (including, without limitation, any Portfolio Investments), other than any such information that is available
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,

such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of

Section 9.14.     USA
PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and address of each Obligor and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Obligor in accordance with said Act. The Obligors shall, promptly following
a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or

Section 9.15.     Termination.
Promptly upon the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent to, on behalf of the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, deliver to Borrower such termination statements and releases and other documents necessary or appropriate

Section 9.16.     Amendment
and Restatement.


 


(a)            On
the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, and the
Existing Credit Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect, except to evidence (i) the incurrence by the Borrower
of the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement (whether or not such obligations are contingent as of the Restatement Effective
Date), (ii) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower prior to the Restatement Effective Date and (iii) any action
or omission performed or required to be performed pursuant to such Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Restatement Effective Date
(including any failure, prior to the Restatement Effective Date, to comply with the covenants contained in such Existing Credit Agreement).
The amendments and restatements set forth herein shall not cure any breach thereof or any “Default” or “Event of Default”
under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Restatement Effective Date.


 


(b)            It
is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended and restated hereunder so as to preserve
the perfection and priority of all Liens securing the “Secured Obligations” under the Loan Documents and that all “Secured
Obligations” of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall continue to be secured by Liens evidenced under the
Security Documents, and that this Agreement does not in any way constitute a novation or termination of the Indebtedness, obligations
and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities.


 


(c)            The
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall apply to all of the obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement.


 


(d)            On
and after the Restatement Effective Date, (i) all references to the Existing Credit Agreement in the Loan Documents (other than
this Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, (ii) all references to
any Article, Section or sub-clause of the Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed
to be references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement and (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, on or after
the Restatement Effective Date, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and reimbursement
of fees) shall be deemed to be references to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby.


 






    181


     


    

 


(e)            This
amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver, whether or not similar
and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents remain in full
force and effect unless otherwise specifically amended hereby or by any other Loan Document.


 


Section 9.17.     Acknowledgment
and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any
other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected
Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and
conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(ii)            a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution,
its parent 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 Loan Document;
or


 


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


 


Section 9.18.     Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid
under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess
interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining
whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person
may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium
rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread
in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.


 






    182


     


    

 


Section 9.19.     Release.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, consultants or agents) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and each other document entered into in connection
therewith), and (b) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender has heretofore properly performed and satisfied
in a timely manner all of its obligations to the Obligors and their Affiliates under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and
each other document entered into in connection therewith) that are required to have been performed on or prior to the Transactions on
the date hereof. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration,
the Borrower (for itself and its Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively,
the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever discharge the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants
and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all debts, claims, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’
fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed,
direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise,
which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission
or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done on or prior to the Transactions on the date hereof directly arising out of, connected
with or related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or any other document entered into in connection therewith).


 


Section 9.20.     Acknowledgment
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging
Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”
and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution
power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”)
in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents
and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other
state of the United States):


 


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