for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation
of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body and/or (ii) any evolving

Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be

“Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for

by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (a) any selection
or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such
Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement
Date and/or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating
or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for
Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time in the United States.


 


“Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement and/or any Term SOFR Loan, any technical, administrative
or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, the definition of “Business Day”,
the definition of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day”, the definition of “Interest Period”, timing and frequency
of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices,
the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational
matters) that the Administrative Agent decides (in consultation with the Borrowers) in its reasonable discretion may be appropriate to
reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent
in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such
market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration
of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides (in consultation with
the Borrowers and substantially consistent with the practices of the Administrative Agent in similar syndicated loans) is reasonably necessary
in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).


 


“Benchmark Replacement
Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:


 


(1)            in
the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the later of (a) the date
of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark
(or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such
Benchmark (or such component thereof); or


 


(2)            in
the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the first date on which such Benchmark (or
the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator
of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness will be
determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (3) and even if any Available Tenor
of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.


 






    	 	6	 



     


    

 


For the avoidance of doubt,
(i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in
respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination
and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with
respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available
Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).


 


“Benchmark Transition
Event” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current
Benchmark:


 


(1)            a
public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used
in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark
(or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is
no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);


 


(2)            a
public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published
component used in the calculation thereof), the Board of Governors, the NYFRB, the CME Term SOFR Administrator, an insolvency official
with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator
for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator
for such Benchmark (or such component), in each case, which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased
or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided
that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor
of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or


 


(3)            a
public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published
component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer,
or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative.


 


For the avoidance of doubt,
a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication
of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component
used in the calculation thereof).


 


“Benchmark Unavailability
Period” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement
Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under
any other Loan Document in accordance with ‎Section 3.3(b) and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement
has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with ‎Section 3.3(b).

having the force of law or with which affected Persons customarily comply). Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition
of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document (including this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) shall be construed

Agreement Accounting Principles. If any changes in GAAP or in the application thereof are hereafter required or permitted and are adopted
by either Borrower or any of its subsidiaries with the agreement of its independent registered public accounting firm and such changes
result in a change in the calculation of any of the financial covenants, tests, restrictions or standards herein or in the related definitions
or terms used therein (“Accounting Changes”), the parties hereto agree, at the request of such Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders, to enter into negotiations, in good faith, in order to amend such provisions in a credit neutral manner
so as to reflect equitably such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating such Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’
financial condition or other applicable financial metric shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made; provided,
however, until such provisions are amended in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Administrative Agent and the

amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial statements to be delivered by any Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1 shall

and Mandatorily Convertible Securities, and (c) without giving effect to any valuation of Indebtedness below its full stated principal
amount as a result of the application of Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, it being agreed that Indebtedness described in this clause

a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for,
and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest
rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, 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 existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity
as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other
related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative,
successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner
adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain
any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for damages
of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether
in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof)
provided by any such information source or service.

event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset,
right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the
subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired
on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

The Swingline Lender may, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on

account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or any reduction

not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the applicable Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.2.
Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the same manner
as provided in Section 2.6(b) with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.6(b) shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower
of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline
Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the
applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of the applicable Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline
Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received
by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments
pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted
shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required
to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph
shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to repay such Swingline Loan.

request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank

satisfaction that it will be compensated) hereunder or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense not applicable to such Issuing Bank on
the Restatement Effective Date, which such Issuing Bank deems in good faith to be material to it and for which such Issuing Bank is not

under the terms hereof and (y) the Issuing Bank gives notice of the non-extension thereof to the applicable Borrower and the beneficiary
prior to the last date on which, under and pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit, such notice will be effective to prevent such
renewal or (D) in the case of any amendment or extension (other than pursuant to automatic extension provisions) of any Letter of
Credit, if such Issuing Bank would have no obligation, at such time, to issue such Letter of Credit under the terms hereof. If the Required
Lenders notify the Issuing Banks that a Default or an Event of Default exists with respect to a requesting Borrower and instruct the
Issuing Banks to suspend the issuance, amendment or extension of Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrower, no Issuing Bank
shall issue, amend or extend (in the case of an automatic extension, only if such notice and instruction is received by the applicable
Issuing Bank at least two Business Days prior to the date by which notice of non-extension must be given by such Issuing Bank) any Letter
of Credit for the account of such Borrower without the consent of the Required Lenders until such notice is withdrawn by the Required
Lenders (and each Lender that shall have delivered such notice agrees promptly to withdraw it at such time as no Default or Event of
Default exists).


 






    	 	36	 



     


    

 


(c) 
Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the
date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension thereof, one year after
such extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the LC Commitment Termination Date for the applicable Issuing
Bank; provided that any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic extension provisions agreed upon by the applicable Borrower
and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a
period of up to 12 months (but not to a date later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the LC Commitment Termination
Date for such Issuing Bank, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the immediately succeeding proviso), subject to a right on the part
of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary in advance of any such extension;
provided further that, with the prior consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, a Letter of Credit may be issued or extended with
an expiration date beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing Bank, in which case the
applicable Borrower shall deposit, on or prior to the date that is 90 days prior to the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing
Bank, in an account with such Issuing Bank, for the benefit of the Lenders and such Issuing Bank, as cash collateral pursuant to documentation
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, an amount in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate amount of
all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for its account by such Issuing Bank that have an expiration date later than the fifth Business
Day prior to the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing Bank.


 


(d) 
Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount or extending
the term thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby
grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance
of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such
Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable
Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded
to the applicable Borrower for any reason, including after the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing Bank. Each Lender acknowledges
and agrees that (i) its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit,
the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, any reduction or termination of the Commitments or any force majeure
or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14
of the ISP) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Commitments and (ii) each
such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees
that, in issuing, amending or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur
any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the applicable Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.2.

(e) 
Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower for the
account of which such Letter of Credit was issued, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement
by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date
that such LC Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day on which such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received
prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day on which
such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if
such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request
in accordance with Section 2.1 or 2.3 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing or a Swingline Loan to such Borrower in
an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced
by the resulting ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan, as applicable. If such Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the applicable
Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice and details thereof to the Administrative Agent, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on a Business Day, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day, and if received after 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on a Business Day, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), each Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.6(b) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.6(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis,
to the payment obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank
the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from such Borrower
pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders
have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests
may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than
the funding of an ABR Loan or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve such Borrower
of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.


 






    	 	38	 



     


    

 


(f) 
Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of
this Section in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account shall be several and not joint with the other Borrower, shall
be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any
and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this
Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing
Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit, (iv) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of
Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of the ISP) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated
expiration date thereof or of the Commitments or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of
setoff against, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any
of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer
of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to
in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, document, notice
or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any
error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the
applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to release or excuse an Issuing Bank from liability
to a Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect
of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such
Issuing Bank’s wrongful honor or rejection of any drawing under such Letter of Credit to the extent arising out of the Issuing
Bank’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance
of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, but subject to any non-waivable provisions of the laws and/or other rules to
which a Letter of Credit is subject, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment
upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse
to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.





 


(g) 
Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank that is the issuer of any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by
applicable law or the specific terms of such Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent
a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent
and the applicable Borrower by telephone or email (and, in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed by email) of such demand
for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that such notice need
not be given prior to payment by such Issuing Bank and any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower
of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.


 






    	 	39	 



     


    

 


(h) 
Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, unless the
Borrower for the account of which such Letter of Credit was issued shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement
is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date on which such LC Disbursement is made
to but excluding the date on which such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans
made to such Borrower; provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of
this Section, then Section 2.12 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing
Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to
reimburse such Issuing Bank for the applicable LC Disbursement shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment,
and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the applicable Borrower reimburses such Issuing Bank
for the applicable LC Disbursement in full.


 







(i) 
Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default with respect to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing and the Required
Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total
LC Exposure) shall have terminated the Commitments insofar as they are available to such Borrower or accelerated the maturity of any
Loans of such Borrower, in either case as a result of such Event of Default (and unless and until any such termination or acceleration
has been rescinded), then on the Business Day that such Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders
(or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure)
demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, such Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative
Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 101%
of the portion of the LC Exposure as of such date attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower; provided
that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately
due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to such Borrower
described in Section 7.1(f) or  7.1(g). The Borrowers shall also deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph
as and to the extent required by Section 2.21. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the
payment and performance of the Obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment
of such deposits, which investments shall be made only if and to the extent requested by the applicable Borrower and then only at the
option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, and all at such Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear
interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied
by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements under outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account
of the applicable Borrower for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs and customary processing charges and,
to the extent not so applied and subject to the return thereof required as set forth below, shall be held for the satisfaction of future
reimbursement obligations under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated
(but subject to (x) the consent of such Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure and (y) in
the case of any such application at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining
cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied
to satisfy other Obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If either Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned
to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default with respect to such Borrower have been cured or waived and,
if Loans or other Obligations (other than any unasserted contingent indemnity claims) of such Borrower have been accelerated, all such
Loans and other Obligations of such Borrower have been repaid (or such acceleration has been rescinded). If either Borrower is required
to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.21, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid),
shall be returned to such Borrower as provided in such Section. If at any time the cash collateral of either Borrower shall exceed 101%
of such portion of the LC Exposure as of such date attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall apply such excess funds to the payment of such Borrower’s outstanding Obligations (other than contingent Obligations
in respect of Letters of Credit that are fully collateralized and unasserted contingent indemnification claims) or (x) if no such
Obligations are then due and owing and no Event of Default with respect to such Borrower shall exist, shall release such excess funds
to such Borrower or (y) if no such Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit
which are fully collateralized and unasserted contingent indemnification claims), such excess amount shall be released to such Borrower
notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default in respect of such Borrower.

(j) 
Designation of Additional Issuing Banks; Termination of Appointment of Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrowers
may, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve
in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by
an agreement (an “Issuing Bank Agreement”), which shall be in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent, shall set forth the LC Commitment of such Lender and shall be executed by such Lender, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent
and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing
Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing
Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank. If the Maturity Date shall be extended beyond
the LC Commitment Termination Date of any Issuing Bank that is a Non-Extending Lender, the appointment of such Issuing Bank shall be
terminated effective as of the Existing Maturity Date, at which time the Borrowers shall pay any unpaid fees accrued for the account
of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.7(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated
Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all rights as an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue, amend or extend any Letters of Credit.


 


(k) 
Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank
shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent,
upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested
by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions and amendments,
all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements.


 






    	 	41	 



     


    

 


(l) 
LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, (i) the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms,
provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter
of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination,
and (ii) if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder
by reason of the operation of Article 29(a) of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International
Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the applicable time) or Rule 3.13
or Rule 3.14 of the ISP, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 (or such later version thereof as may be
in effect at the applicable time) or similar terms in the governing rules or laws or of the Letter of Credit itself, or if compliant
documents have been presented but not yet honored, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” and “undrawn”
in the amount so remaining available to be paid, and the obligations of the applicable Borrower and each Lender hereunder shall remain
in full force and effect until the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements
under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.


 


(m) 
Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder
supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a subsidiary of any Borrower, or states that a subsidiary of any Borrower is the
 “account party”, “applicant”, “customer”, “instructing party” or the like of or for such
Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity
or otherwise) against such subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify
and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder)
as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of such Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses
that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such subsidiary in respect of such
Letter of Credit.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its subsidiaries inures to
the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such subsidiaries.


 


SECTION 2.5.     Types
and Minimum Amounts of Borrowings. Revolving Borrowings may be ABR Borrowings, Term SOFR Borrowings or, if applicable pursuant to
Section 3.3, Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings, as selected by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.6 and 2.10. Swingline
Loans may only be ABR Loans. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term SOFR Borrowing, and at the time each other Borrowing
is made, such Borrowing shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in a multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof); provided
that (a) any Term SOFR Borrowing that results from a continuation of an outstanding Term SOFR Borrowing may be in an aggregate
amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing, (b) any ABR Borrowing (including any Swingline Loan) to a Borrower may be in
the amount that is required to finance the reimbursement by such Borrower of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.4(e) and
(c) any Borrowing to a Borrower may be in the amount equal to the lesser of the Available Aggregate Commitment and the amount by
which the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower exceeds the Borrower Credit Exposure of such Borrower. Borrowings of more than one Type
may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 10 (or such greater number
as shall have been consented to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) Term SOFR Borrowings and Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings
outstanding at the same time.


 






    	 	42	 



     


    

 


SECTION 2.6.     Requests
for Revolving Borrowings; Funding of Revolving Loans. (a) To request a Revolving Borrowing, the applicable Borrower shall submit
to the Administrative Agent a completed Borrowing Notice signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower not later than 1:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the requested borrowing date in the case of an ABR Borrowing, on the third U.S. Government Securities Business Day
prior to the requested borrowing date in the case of any Term SOFR Borrowing or, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.3, on the third
U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the requested borrowing date in the case of any Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing. Each Borrowing
Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify:


 


(i)            the
Borrower requesting such Revolving Borrowing;


 


(ii)            the
requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day;


 


(iii)            the
aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Borrowing;


 


(iv)            the
Type of such Revolving Borrowing;


 


(v)            in
the case of each Term SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period applicable thereto, and


 


(vi)            the
location and number of the account of the applicable Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed or, in the case of an ABR Borrowing
requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.4(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that
has made such LC Disbursement.


 


If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing
is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect
to any requested Term SOFR Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration.


 


(b) 
The Administrative Agent shall provide prompt written notice to each Lender of each Borrowing Notice received by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with this Section 2.6, specifying the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made as part of the
requested Revolving Borrowing. Not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable requested borrowing date, each Lender
shall make available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans, in immediately available funds in Dollars, at such account of the Administrative
Agent as the Administrative Agent shall have most recently specified for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent
will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the applicable Borrower by remitting such funds to an account
of such Borrower designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Notice; provided that ABR Loans made to refinance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.4(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable
Issuing Bank specified by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Notice.


 






    	 	43	 



     


    

 


SECTION 2.7.     Facility
Fee; Letter of Credit Fees.


 


(a) 
Facility Fee. Subject to Section 2.21, each Borrower agrees, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, to
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) at a per annum
rate equal to such Borrower’s Applicable Fee Rate on its Contribution Percentage of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment
(whether used or unused) from and including the Restatement Effective Date to and including the Availability Termination Date for such
Borrower; provided that if any Lender continues to have Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to such Borrower after the Availability
Termination Date for such Borrower (excluding any such Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of LC Exposure which is cash collateralized
hereunder), then the Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Credit Exposure until
such Lender ceases to have any such Revolving Credit Exposure. Facility Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the 15th day following such last day, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date; provided that all Facility Fees accrued for the account of such
Borrower shall be payable on the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower and any such Facility Fees accruing after the Availability
Termination Date for such Borrower shall be payable on demand.


 







(b) 
Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, to pay (i) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit issued
for the account of such Borrower (the “LC Participation Fee”), which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to such
Borrower’s Applicable Fee Rate on the average daily amount of that portion of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion
thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower during
the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment
terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any such LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank for its own account
a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between such Borrower and such Issuing Bank
on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such
Borrower (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment and the date on which
there ceases to be any such LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for such Borrower, as well as each
Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing
Bank for the account of such Borrower or processing of drawings thereunder. LC Participation Fees and fronting fees accrued through and
including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the 15th day following such
last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date; provided that all such fees accrued
for the account of such Borrower shall be payable on the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower and any such fees accruing after
the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to
this paragraph shall be payable promptly upon receipt of an invoice therefor in reasonable detail.


 






    	 	44	 



     


    

 


SECTION 2.8.     Termination
of and Reductions in Aggregate Commitment and Borrower Sublimits. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments will automatically
terminate on the Maturity Date. The Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiary) may permanently reduce (subject to its
right pursuant to Section 2.22 to subsequently increase) the Aggregate Commitment (with or without reducing the Borrower Sublimit
of either Borrower), and (without limiting the foregoing) the Borrowing Subsidiary or the Company, as applicable, may permanently reduce
its Borrower Sublimit (with or without reducing the Aggregate Commitment), in each case, in whole or in part and without penalty or premium,
in integral multiples of $5,000,000, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice
shall specify, as applicable, (a) the aggregate amount of any such reduction and/or (b) the individual amount by which the
applicable Borrower Sublimit shall be reduced; provided, however, that (i) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced
below the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and (ii) the Borrower Sublimit of either Borrower may not be reduced below the Borrower
Credit Exposure of such Borrower, in each case, giving effect to any prepayment to be made on such date. Each such notice delivered by
any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified
therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment under this paragraph shall reduce ratably
the Commitments of all the Lenders.


 


SECTION 2.9.     Optional
Principal Payments. Each Borrower may from time to time prepay, without penalty or premium, any outstanding ABR Revolving Borrowing
of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding ABR Revolving Borrowing, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. Each
Borrower may from time to time prepay, without penalty or premium, any outstanding Swingline Loan of such Borrower, or any portion of
such outstanding Swingline Loan, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,
upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower may from time
to time prepay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium,
any outstanding Term SOFR Borrowing of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding Term SOFR Borrowing, in a minimum aggregate
amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least three U.S. Government Securities Business
Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower may from time to time prepay, without penalty or premium,
any outstanding Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing, in a minimum
aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least three U.S. Government Securities
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. Any optional prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing under this
Section shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans of all the Lenders comprising such Revolving Borrowing. Each such notice
delivered by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.9 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more
events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior
to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied. Failure to make any optional payment of Borrowings under this Section 2.9
on the date specified by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Swingline Lender shall not constitute
an Event of Default.

SECTION 2.10.     Conversion
and Continuation of Revolving Borrowings. ABR Borrowings shall continue as ABR Borrowings unless and until such ABR Borrowings are
converted into Term SOFR Borrowings or, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.3, Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.10
or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.9. If applicable pursuant to Section 3.3, Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings shall continue
as Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings unless and until such Daily Simple SOFR Borrowings are converted into ABR Borrowings pursuant to this
Section 2.10 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.9. Each Term SOFR Borrowing shall continue as a Term SOFR Borrowing
until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Term SOFR Borrowing shall be automatically continued
as a Term SOFR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month (unless such continuation would otherwise be prohibited hereunder, in which
case such Term SOFR Borrowing shall be converted into an ABR Borrowing) unless (x) such Term SOFR Borrowing is or was repaid in
accordance with Section 2.9 or (y) the applicable Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation
Notice requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Term SOFR Borrowing either continue as a Term SOFR Borrowing for the
same or another Interest Period or be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Subject to the terms of Section 2.5, a Borrower may elect from
time to time to convert all or any part of any Borrowing of any Type into any other Type or Types; provided that any conversion
of any Term SOFR Borrowing shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 2.10, during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to a Borrower, the Administrative
Agent may (or shall at the direction of the Required Lenders), by notice to such Borrower, declare that no Borrowing of such Borrower
may be made, converted or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing or, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.3, a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing;
provided that no such notice shall be required in the case of an Event of Default with respect to such Borrower described in Section 7.1(f) or
  7.1(g), and during the continuance of such Event of Default no Borrowing of such Borrower may be made, converted or continued as
a Term SOFR Borrowing or, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.3, a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing. To request any conversion or continuation
pursuant to this Section 2.10, the applicable Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent a completed Conversion/Continuation
Notice signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower by the time that a Borrowing Notice would be required to be delivered under Section 2.6
if such Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such request to be made on the effective date of the
requested conversion or continuation. Each Conversion/Continuation Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify:


 


		(i)	the
                                            requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation,



 


		(ii)	the
                                            aggregate amount and Type of the Revolving Borrowing to be converted or continued, and



 






    	 	46	 



     


    

 


		(iii)	the
                                            aggregate amount and Type of each Revolving Borrowing resulting from such conversion or continuation,
                                            and



 


		(iv)	if
                                            any resulting Revolving Borrowing is to be a Term SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period applicable
                                            thereto.



 


If any Conversion/Continuation
Notice requests a Term SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected
an Interest Period of one month’s duration.


 


This Section 2.10 shall
not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.


 


SECTION 2.11.     Interest
Rates; Interest Payment Dates. (a) Each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Borrowing is made or is converted to (but excluding) the
date it is repaid or is converted pursuant to Section 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Borrower for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on any ABR Borrowing will take
effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate.


 


(b) 
Each Term SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the
first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but excluding) the earlier of the last day of such Interest Period or the date
it is repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR applicable to such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin applicable
to such Borrower for such day.


 


(c) 
Each Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing (if such Type of Borrowing is applicable pursuant to Section 3.3) shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Borrowing is made or is converted to (but excluding)
the date it is repaid or is converted pursuant to Section 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Daily Simple
SOFR plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Borrower for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on any Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing
will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR.


 


(d) 
Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, commencing with the first
such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date and, in the case of Loans of any Borrower, on the Availability Termination Date
for such Borrower; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan of any Borrower prior to
the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on
the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the
current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.


 






    	 	47	 



     


    

 


SECTION 2.12.     Default
Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of any Loan is not paid when due, or if any interest on any Loan or any
fee or other amount payable by either Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise
(in each case, after giving effect to any applicable grace period with respect to such payment), such overdue amount shall bear interest,
commencing on the day after such amount shall have become due in the case of principal and on the second Business Day after such amount
shall have become due (in each case, after giving effect to any applicable grace period with respect to such payment) in the case of
other amounts, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan,
2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.11 or (b) in the case of any other amount,
2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Borrowings to such Borrower as provided in Section 2.11.


 


SECTION 2.13.     Method
of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, in immediately available
funds to such account of the Administrative Agent as shall be specified in writing by the Administrative Agent reasonably in advance
of the date any such payment is required to be made, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due; provided that payments
specified hereunder to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender and payments pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2,
3.4, 3.5 and 9.10 to any Person shall be so made to such account of such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such other Person,
as the case may be, as shall be specified in writing by it reasonably in advance of the date any such payment is required to be made.
If any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan, any fees or any other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Lender hereunder shall become due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and, in the case of principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection
with such payment. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any other Person shall be delivered promptly
by the Administrative Agent to such other Person in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received. All payments hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, at any time when an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to charge the respective accounts of each Borrower maintained with JPMorgan for each
payment of principal, interest and fees owed by such Borrower as such payment becomes due hereunder.


 


SECTION 2.14.     Evidence
of Indebtedness; Notes.


 


(a) 
Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower
to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.


 


(b) 
The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made
to each Borrower hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing) with respect thereto, (ii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the
effective date of and amount assigned pursuant to each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it pursuant to Section 9.4
and the parties thereto, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s
share thereof and (v) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including all fees, charges, expenses
and interest.


 






    	 	48	 



     


    

 


(c) 
The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie
evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that
the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of such Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.


 


(d) 
Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit D (a “Note”).
In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to such Lender. Thereafter,
the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 9.4) be represented
by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note
for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced by a Note.


 







SECTION 2.15.     Interest
and Fee Basis. Interest on Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans and fees hereunder shall be calculated for actual days elapsed
on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest on ABR Loans (including Swingline Loans), at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on
the Prime Rate, shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year (or, in the case of a leap year, a 366-day
year), and in each other case shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall
be payable for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received at the place of payment
prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time.


 


SECTION 2.16.     Notification
of Borrowings, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent
will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment or Borrower Sublimit reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation
Notice and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify the applicable Borrower and each Lender of
the interest rate applicable to each Term SOFR Borrowing promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Borrower
and each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.


 


SECTION 2.17.     Lending
Installations. Each Lender may, subject to its obligations under Section 3.8, book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected
by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending
Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation.
Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article IX, designate replacement
or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.


 






    	 	49	 



     


    

 


SECTION 2.18.     Non-Receipt
of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the applicable Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative
Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the
proceeds of a Loan or any payment under Section 2.4(e) or (b) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest,
fees or other amounts to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, that it does not intend to make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated
to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Issuing Bank
or such Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall,
on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available, together with interest thereon
in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the
date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender or an Issuing
Bank, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, if such payment is of a principal, the interest rate applicable
to the relevant Loan or, otherwise, the interest rate applicable to the ABR Loans for such Borrower.


 







SECTION 2.19.     Replacement
of Lender. If (a) either Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any
Lender or, in the case of Section 3.5, to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, (b) any Lender is a Non-Extending
Lender, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or has a direct or indirect parent company that is the subject of a Bankruptcy Event,
(d) any Lender invokes Section 3.6 or 9.6 or (e) any Lender has advised that it will not consent to any waiver or amendment
of this Agreement that requires the approval of all the Lenders or all affected Lenders and, upon the replacement of such non-consenting
Lender, the Lender replacing such non-consenting Lender shall consent to any such waiver or amendment and such approval (as to all Lenders
or as to all affected Lenders, as applicable) shall be obtained (any Lender subject to any of the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c),
(d) or (e) being an “Affected Lender”), the Borrowers may elect (i) in the case of the foregoing clauses (a),
(b), (c), (d) or (e) (but only if such additional payment continues to be required, such Lender continues to be a Non-Extending
Lender, such Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender or the direct or indirect parent company of such Lender continues to be the subject
of a Bankruptcy Event, Section 3.6 or 9.6 continues to be invoked or such Lender continues to be a non-consenting Lender), to terminate
the Commitment of such Affected Lender (without affecting the Commitments of the other Lenders) or (ii) in all cases, to replace
such Affected Lender and its Commitment (including with one or more Lenders that agree thereto); provided that (A) in the
case of any termination of the Commitment of an Affected Lender, (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
at the time of such termination and (2) after giving effect to such termination, (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure
would not exceed the Aggregate Commitment and (y) the Borrower Credit Exposure of either Borrower would not exceed the Borrower
Sublimit of such Borrower, in each case, after giving effect to all prepayments of the Obligations to be made in connection therewith,
(B) in the case of any replacement of an Affected Lender, one or more Eligible Assignees which are approved by the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)
shall purchase for cash at face amount the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and assume the Commitment and all other obligations
of such Affected Lender as of the time of such replacement, in each case, in accordance with Section 9.4, and (C) in the case
of any termination of the Commitment or replacement of an Affected Lender, each Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in immediately
available funds on the day of termination or replacement, to the extent not paid by a replacement Lender pursuant to the preceding clause (B),
all principal, interest, fees and other amounts (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations) then outstanding or accrued
but unpaid for the account of such Affected Lender to the extent constituting Obligations of such Borrower hereunder, including payments
due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and, except in the case of a Defaulting Lender, an amount, if any, equal
to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such termination or replacement under Section 3.4 had the
Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date pursuant to Section 2.9. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required
pursuant to this Section 2.19 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the assignee and that the Affected Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.


 






    	 	50	 



     


    

 


SECTION 2.20.     Extension
of Maturity Date. The Company, on behalf of both Borrowers, may, on not more than two occasions since the Restatement Effective Date,
by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) request (an “Extension
Request”) that the Lenders extend the then effective Maturity Date (the “Existing Maturity Date”) for an
additional period of one year from the Existing Maturity Date, effective as of a date specified in such notice; provided that
the Maturity Date, as so extended, may not be more than five years from the date of effectiveness of such extension. Each Lender shall,
by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s
receipt of the Company’s notice, advise the Company whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender agreeing to
a requested extension being called an “Extending Lender” and each Lender declining to agree to a requested extension
being called a “Non-Extending Lender”). Any Lender that has not so advised the Company and the Administrative Agent
by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Non-Extending Lender. If Lenders constituting
the Required Lenders shall have agreed to an Extension Request, then the Maturity Date shall, as to the Extending Lenders, be extended
to the first anniversary of the Existing Maturity Date. The decision of any Lender to agree or withhold agreement to any Extension Request
shall be at the sole discretion of such Lender. The Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender shall terminate on the Existing Maturity Date.
The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by the Non-Extending Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued
fees and other amounts payable to or for the accounts of the Non-Extending Lenders hereunder, shall (in each case, solely with respect
to the Non-Extending Lenders and no other Lenders) be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date
each Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of its Loans as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to such prepayments
and to the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, the Non-Extending Lenders pursuant to this sentence, (a) the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, (b) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall
not exceed its Commitment and (c) the Borrower Credit Exposure of either Borrower shall not exceed the Borrower Sublimit of such
Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Maturity Date shall become effective under this Section unless (i) on
the effective date of such extension, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (it being understood and agreed that (A) all
references to the “Credit Extension Date” therein shall be deemed to refer to such effective date, (B) all references
to a “Credit Extension” therein shall be deemed to refer to such extension and (C) all references to the “Restatement
Effective Date” in (x) Section 4.2(b) as it relates to Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.11 and (y) in Sections 5.5,
5.7 and 5.11 shall be deemed to refer to such effective date for purposes of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 4.2 as of such date) shall be satisfied as of such date and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate
to that effect dated such effective date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the Swingline Lender shall have no obligation to make or continue a Swingline Loan after the Existing Maturity Date unless
the Swingline Lender shall have consented to the applicable Extension Request (such consent to be deemed given if the Swingline Lender
is an Extending Lender) and no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit expiring after the Existing Maturity
Date, or to amend or extend any Letter of Credit such that it would expire after the Existing Maturity Date, unless such Issuing Bank
shall have consented to the applicable Extension Request (such consent to be deemed given if such Issuing Bank is an Extending Lender).
In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date under this Section 2.20, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may, without
the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative
Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.20; provided that the Administrative Agent shall post such amendment
to the Lenders (which may be posted to the Platform) reasonably promptly after the effectiveness thereof.

SECTION 2.21.     Defaulting
Lenders.


 


(a) 
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:


 


		(i)	Facility
                                            Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.



 


		(ii)	The
                                            Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included
                                            in determining whether the Required Lenders or other requisite Lenders have taken or may
                                            take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.1);
                                            provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders
                                            or each affected Lender shall require, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1,
                                            the consent of such Defaulting Lender.



 


		(iii)	If
                                            any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting
                                            Lender, then all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC
                                            Exposure (other than (x) in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is the Swingline Lender,
                                            any portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of
                                            the term “Swingline Exposure” and (y) any portion of such Swingline Exposure
                                            or LC Exposure with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation
                                            as contemplated by Section 2.3(c) or Sections 2.4(d) and 2.4(e), as applicable)
                                            shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares,
                                            but only to the extent that such reallocation does not result in the Revolving Credit Exposure
                                            of any Non-Defaulting Lender exceeding such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.



 






    	 	52	 



     


    

 


		(iv)	If
                                            the Swingline Exposure or the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant
                                            to clause (iii) above, then the Facility Fees and the LC Participation Fees payable
                                            to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation.



 


		(v)	If
                                            (or to the extent that) the reallocation described in clause (iii) above cannot, or
                                            can only partially, be effected, each Borrower shall, within one Business Day following notice
                                            by the Administrative Agent, (x) first, prepay such Borrower’s Swingline Loans
                                            in an amount corresponding to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s non-reallocated
                                            Swingline Exposure that is attributable to the Swingline Loans made to such Borrower (other
                                            than any portion thereof referred to in the first parenthetical clause in such clause (iii) above)
                                            and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks such Borrower’s
                                            obligations corresponding to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s non-reallocated
                                            LC Exposure that is attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower
                                            (other than any portion thereof referred to in the first parenthetical clause in such clause
                                            (iii) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(i) for
                                            so long as such non-reallocated LC Exposure is outstanding or as otherwise provided pursuant
                                            to Section 2.21(c).



 


		(vi)	If
                                            a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure
                                            pursuant to clause (v) above, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any LC Participation
                                            Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(b) with respect to such
                                            Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC
                                            Exposure is cash collateralized.



 


		(vii)	If
                                            all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure subject to reallocation
                                            is neither reallocated pursuant to clause (iii) above nor reduced pursuant to clause
                                            (v) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Swingline Lender
                                            or any other Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable pursuant
                                            to Section 2.7(a) to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to such Swingline
                                            Exposure or with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment utilized
                                            by such Swingline Exposure) shall be payable to the Swingline Lender until and to the extent
                                            that such Swingline Exposure is reallocated and/or reduced to zero.



 


		(viii)	If
                                            all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure subject to reallocation
                                            is neither reallocated pursuant to clause (iii) above nor cash collateralized pursuant
                                            to clause (v) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing
                                            Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable
                                            pursuant to Section 2.7(a) to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to such
                                            LC Exposure or with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment utilized
                                            by such LC Exposure) and LC Participation Fees that otherwise would have been payable pursuant
                                            to Section 2.7(b) to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
                                            LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based
                                            on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit
                                            issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated
                                            and/or cash collateralized.

		(ix)	The
                                            Administrative Agent shall adjust the allocation of payments hereunder to ensure that a Defaulting
                                            Lender does not receive payment in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement that it did not
                                            fund or to reflect any of the actions or adjustments referred to in this Section 2.21.



 


(b) 
So long as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan and no Issuing
Bank shall be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, unless, in each case, it is satisfied that the related exposure
and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the
Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(a), and
participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among
Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(a)(iii) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).


 


(c) 
If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for
so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have a good faith belief that any Lender
has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline
Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan and such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or extend any Letter
of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the applicable
Borrower or such Lender reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to mitigate the risk
to it in respect of such Lender failing to satisfy its participating interest therein.


 


(d) 
In the event that the Administrative Agent, each Borrower, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank shall agree that a Defaulting
Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and the LC
Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall
purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans and such funded participations in Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements of the other Lenders
as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold the Revolving Loans and such participations
in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender (but shall not be entitled to receive
any fees ceasing to accrue or which were reallocated during the period when it was a Defaulting Lender as set forth in this Section 2.21
and all amendments, waivers or other modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1
and this Section 2.21 during such period shall be binding on it), and all cash collateral then being held pursuant to Section 2.21(a)(v) in
connection with the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be released and returned to the applicable Borrower.


 






    	 	54	 



     


    

 


(e) 
Except as expressly provided in this Section 2.21 in connection with the obligations of the Swingline Lender and the Issuing
Banks, the obligation of each Lender and Issuing Bank to fund the full amount of its Commitment and to make Loans and other extensions
of credit hereunder shall not be released or diminished in any respect by any other Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender.


 


(f) 
None of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be deemed to effect, diminish or release any rights, claims or
causes of action the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks or any Non-Defaulting Lender may have
against any Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender.


 


SECTION 2.22.     Commitment
Increases.


 


(a) 
The Borrowers may from time to time (and more than one time), by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly
deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), executed by the Borrowers and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution
referred to in this Section being called an “Augmenting Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause new Commitments
to be extended by the Augmenting Lenders or cause the existing Commitments of the Augmenting Lenders to be increased, as the case may
be (the aggregate amount of such increase for all Augmenting Lenders on any single occasion being referred to as a “Commitment
Increase”), in an amount for each Augmenting Lender set forth in such notice; provided that (i) the amount of each
Commitment Increase shall be not less than $10,000,000, except to the extent necessary to utilize the remaining unused amount of increase
permitted under this Section 2.22(a) and (ii) the Aggregate Commitment shall not exceed $1,700,000,000 after giving effect
to the effectiveness of any Commitment Increase. The decision of any Lender to become an Augmenting Lender shall be at the sole discretion
of such Lender. Each Augmenting Lender (other than an existing Lender) shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent,
the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall not
be subject to the approval of any other Lenders, and the Borrowers and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as
the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment of such Augmenting Lender and/or its status as a Lender
hereunder (such documentation in respect of any Commitment Increase together with the notice of such Commitment Increase being referred
to collectively as the “Commitment Increase Amendment” in respect of such Commitment Increase).


 







(b) 
Upon each Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section, (i) each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically
and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Augmenting Lender providing a portion of such Commitment Increase, and each
such Augmenting Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations
hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment
and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each
Lender (including each such Augmenting Lender) will (subject to Section 2.21) equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) if,
on the date of such Commitment Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, the parties hereto shall, at the request of the Administrative
Agent, take actions agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Company that will result, within a period acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the Company, in the outstanding Revolving Loans being held by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.
In determining the actions to be taken (which may include the prepayment and reborrowing of all or a portion of such Revolving Loans
and/or the making of Revolving Loans on a non-pro-rata basis by Augmenting Lenders for the balance of Interest Periods in progress and
at rates reflecting the Adjusted Term SOFR at the time for loans of such duration), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will endeavor
to minimize breakage costs for which the Borrowers must compensate the Lenders to the extent practicable without undue complexity or
administrative burdens on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum
borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions
effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.


 






    	 	55	 



     


    

 


(c) 
Commitment Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall become effective on the date specified
in the notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a) above or on such other date as agreed upon
by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Augmenting Lenders.


 


(d) 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in any Commitment of any Lender) or addition of an Augmenting
Lender shall become effective under this Section unless (i) on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2
(it being understood and agreed that (A) all references to the “Credit Extension Date” therein shall be deemed to refer
to the date of such Commitment Increase, (B) all references to a “Credit Extension” therein shall be deemed to refer
to such Commitment Increase and (C) all references to the “Restatement Effective Date” in (x) Section 4.2(b) as
it relates to Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.11 and (y) Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.11 shall be deemed to refer to the date of such Commitment
Increase for purposes of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 as of such date) shall be satisfied
as of such date and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized
Officer of the Company, and (ii) the actions referred to in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 2.22 shall have been
agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Company (provided, however, that the prepayment and reborrowing on the
date of such Commitment Increase of all Revolving Loans then outstanding shall be deemed to satisfy the condition specified in this clause (ii)).
In connection with any Commitment Increase under this Section 2.22, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may, without the
consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative
Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.22.


 







ARTICLE III


 


YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES


 


SECTION 3.1.     Yield
Protection. If any Change in Law:


 


(a) 
subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of
credit, commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or


 






    	 	56	 



     


    

 


(b) 
imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any applicable Lending
Installation or any Issuing Bank, or


 


(c) 
imposes on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the applicable offshore interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or such Lending Installation
or any Letter of Credit or participation therein,


 


and the result of any of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation of making, issuing, converting
to, continuing or maintaining its Commitment, any Loan or Letter of Credit (or any obligation to make any Loan or to issue any Letter
of Credit) or any participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation hereunder, then, within 15 days after the submission of the written statement required by
Section 3.7 by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation (and otherwise subject to the
terms of Section 3.7), the Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.


 


SECTION 3.2.     Changes
in Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital
or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement,
the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or
the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy and liquidity), then, within 15 days after the submission of the written statement required by Section 3.7 by such Lender
or Issuing Bank (and otherwise subject to the terms of Section 3.7), the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank the amount
applicable to such Borrower necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered.


 


SECTION 3.3.     Alternate
Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to Section 3.3(b), if:


 


		(i)	the
                                            Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
                                            error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing,
                                            that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR for
                                            such Interest Period (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or
                                            published on a current basis) or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means
                                            do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or



 






    	 	57	 



     


    

 


		(ii)	the
                                            Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (A) prior to the commencement
                                            of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing, that the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest
                                            Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining
                                            their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time,
                                            that the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of such
                                            Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in any Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing;



 







then the Administrative Agent shall give notice
thereof (which may be by telephone, if promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter
and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice
no longer exist and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Conversion/Continuation Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10
or a new Borrowing Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6, any Conversion/Continuation Notice that requests the conversion
of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term SOFR Borrowing and any Borrowing Notice that requests a Term SOFR Borrowing
shall instead be deemed to be a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a Borrowing Notice, as applicable, for (A) a Daily Simple SOFR
Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 3.3(a)(i) or 3.3(a)(ii) above or
(B) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is also the subject of Section 3.3(a)(i) or 3.3(a)(ii) above.
Furthermore, if any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the applicable Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative
Agent referred to in this Section 3.3(a) with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR, then until (x) the Administrative Agent
notifies such Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant
Benchmark and (y) such Borrower delivers a new Conversion/Continuation Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10
or a new Borrowing Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6, such Term SOFR Loan shall, on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute, (A) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan so long as the Adjusted
Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 3.3(a)(i) or 3.3(a)(ii) above or (B) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted
Daily Simple SOFR is also the subject of Section 3.3(a)(i) or 3.3(a)(ii) above.


 


(b)  
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then
(x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark
Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes
hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any
amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a
Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for
such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any
other Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after
the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of
any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time,
written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

		(ii)	Notwithstanding
                                            anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent 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 or any other Loan Document.



 


		(iii)	The
                                            Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence
                                            of a Benchmark Transition Event, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement,
                                            (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the
                                            removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (iv) below and
                                            (E) 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 3.3, including any determination
                                            with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an
                                            event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or
                                            any selection, 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 to this Agreement or any
                                            other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.3.



 







		(iv)	Notwithstanding
                                            anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in
                                            connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current
                                            Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark
                                            is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time
                                            to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the
                                            regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement
                                            or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be
                                            no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest
                                            Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable
                                            or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above
                                            either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark
                                            (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement
                                            that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement),
                                            then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period”
                                            for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

		(v)	Upon
                                            the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability
                                            Period, each Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation
                                            of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability
                                            Period and, failing that, such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request
                                            into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to (A) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing
                                            so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event
                                            or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark
                                            Transition Event. Furthermore, if any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the applicable
                                            Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period
                                            with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is
                                            implemented pursuant to this Section 3.3, such Term SOFR Loan shall, on the last day
                                            of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loan, convert to, and shall constitute,
                                            (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Loan so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject
                                            of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR
                                            is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event.



 


If the Borrowers reasonably
request that the Administrative Agent take an action that the Borrowers certify is necessary to avoid material adverse tax consequences
to the Borrowers arising from the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement otherwise being treated as a “significant modification”
(therefor an exchange) of any Loan for U.S. Federal income tax consequences, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonably
efforts to take such action; provided however that nothing in this Section 3.3 shall require the Administrative
Agent to make any determination relating to Taxes.


 


SECTION 3.4.     Funding
Indemnification. If (a) any payment of a Term SOFR Borrowing occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest
Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, (b) a Term SOFR Borrowing is not made or continued or an ABR Borrowing
is not converted into a Term SOFR Borrowing on the date specified by the applicable Borrower for any reason other than default by the
Lenders, (c) a Term SOFR Borrowing is not prepaid on the date specified by such Borrower for any reason, or (d) a Term SOFR
Borrowing is prepaid by such Borrower without such Borrower providing at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative
Agent for any reason, the applicable Borrower will severally, and not jointly with the other Borrower, indemnify each Lender for any
loss or cost (but not lost profit) incurred by such Lender resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Defaulting Lender required
to assign its Loans pursuant to Section 2.19 shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 3.4 in connection with
any such assignment.


 


SECTION 3.5.     Taxes.


 


(a) 
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of each Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction
or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion
of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then
the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted
or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the
sum payable by each Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such
deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) the applicable Recipient receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes
by either Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, such 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.


 






    	 	60	 



     


    

 


(b) 
The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the
Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.


 


(c) 
The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 20 days after written demand therefor (in each case
setting forth the basis therefor and the manner of determination thereof), for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.5) payable or paid by such Recipient or required
to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as
to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to either Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by
the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(d) 
Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 20 days after written demand therefor (in each case setting
forth the basis therefor and the manner of determination thereof), for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but
only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting
the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions
of Section 9.4(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such
Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing
to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against
any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.5(d).


 


(e) 
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times set forth herein or as are
reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced
rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall
deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent
as will enable such 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 Sections 3.5(e)(ii)(A),
3.5(e)(ii)(B) and 3.5(e)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution
or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or
commercial position of such Lender.


 






    	 	61	 



     


    

 


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



 


(A) any Lender
that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such 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 as set forth herein or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding
tax;


 


(B) any Non-U.S.
Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such 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 Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter as set forth herein or upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever
of the following is applicable:


 


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


 


(2) executed
copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;


 


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


 






    	 	62	 



     


    

 


(4) to
the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS
Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification
documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct
or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


 







(C) any Non-U.S.
Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to each 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 U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter as set forth herein or upon the reasonable request of either Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal
withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and


 


(D) if a payment
made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail
to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of
the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by
law and at such time or times reasonably requested by either Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable
law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested
by either Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations
under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount
to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the Restatement Effective Date.


 


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


 






    	 	63	 



     


    

 


(f) 
If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit in lieu of a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall
repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to
such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.5(f), in no event will the indemnified party
be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) the payment of which would place the
indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification
and giving rise to such refund or credit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional
amounts giving rise to such refund or credit had never been paid. This Section 3.5(f) shall not be construed to require any
indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the
indemnifying party or any other Person.


 







(g) 
Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.


 


(h) 
For purposes of this Section 3.5, (i) the term “Lender” includes any applicable Lending Installation and
any Issuing Bank and (ii) the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.


 


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


 


SECTION 3.6.     Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for such Lender or its applicable Lending Installation to make, maintain or fund Loans the interest on which is determined by reference
to, or to determine or charge interest based upon, the Adjusted Term SOFR (or any component of such definition), then, upon notice thereof
by such Lender to the Borrowers (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation
of such Lender to make, convert to or continue Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended (and any Loans that would otherwise be required to
be made by such Lender as Term SOFR Loans shall be made as ABR Loans) and (b) if such Lender so specifies in the Illegality Notice,
the interest rate on the ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent
without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each case, until such Lender notifies
the Borrowers (through the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt
of an Illegality Notice, the applicable Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from the applicable Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans
shall, if so specified by such Lender in the Illegality Notice, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause
(c) of the definition of the term “Alternate Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable thereto,
if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue
to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so prepaid or converted.


 






    	 	64	 



     


    


 






SECTION 3.7.     Statements
as to Claims; Survival of Indemnity. The Administrative Agent, each Lender or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver
a written statement to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to each amount due, if any, under Section 3.1,
3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such Person determined
such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on such Borrower in the absence of manifest error, and upon the reasonable request
of such Borrower, such Person shall promptly provide supporting documentation describing and/or evidencing the applicable event giving
rise to such amount to the extent not inconsistent with such Person’s policies or applicable law. Unless otherwise provided herein,
the amount specified in the written statement of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall be payable within 15
days (or, in the case of Section 3.5, 20 days) after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such written statement, unless subject
to a good faith dispute by such Borrower, notice and details of which were provided to the Administrative Agent or the affected Lender
or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, prior to such due date. The obligations of each Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5
shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Borrowers shall
not be responsible for any reimbursement of any such amount under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 which shall have accrued and of
which the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have become aware more than 180 days
prior to its delivery to any Borrower of notice requesting reimbursement thereof and (b) none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or any Issuing Bank will make any claim (nor shall any Borrower have any liability) under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 unless the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall have determined that the making of such claim is consistent with its general
practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated borrowers under credit agreements entitling it to make such claims.


 


SECTION 3.8.     Alternative
Lending Installation. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect
to its Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, or the applicability with
respect to such Lender of Section 3.6, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such
Lender. A Lender’s designation of an alternative Lending Installation shall not affect the Borrowers’ rights under Section 2.19
to replace a Lender.


 


SECTION 3.9.     Allocation
of Amounts Payable Among Borrowers. Each amount payable by “the Borrowers” under this Article shall be an obligation
of, and shall be discharged by (a) to the extent arising out of acts, events and circumstances related to a particular Borrower,
such Borrower and (b) otherwise, both Borrowers, with each Borrower being severally liable for such Borrower’s Contribution
Percentage of such amount; provided that the Company agrees that, if the Borrowing Subsidiary shall fail to pay any amount owed
by it under clause (b) of this Section after a demand shall have been made by the Person to which such amount is owed, the
Company shall promptly pay such amount (the Company hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as
a guarantor or surety of the obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiary under this Section).

liable to the Borrowers, the Lenders or any Lender or any Issuing Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder
or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in
a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought or (ii) the material breach by such party of its agreements hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents (it being agreed, however, that no such breach shall be deemed to occur as a result of any reasonable
assertion in good faith by the Administrative Agent that any condition to any of its obligations hereunder has not been satisfied).


 






    	 	84	 



     


    

 


SECTION 8.4.     No

such items) solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (e) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished

value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose,
and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or other Affiliates
that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any Liabilities, costs or expenses
suffered on account of, any determination by the Administrative Agent that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or the effective date of
such status, it being further understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to determine whether
any Lender is a Defaulting Lender.


 







SECTION 8.5.     Action
on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not 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 the Administrative
Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), and such consent or request
and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank. The Lenders and

Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good
faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents). The Administrative Agent shall not be required to
take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or
be contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, rule or regulation, and the Administrative Agent shall
be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified
to its satisfaction in writing by the Lenders pro rata against any and all Liabilities, costs and expenses that it may incur by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action.


 






    	 	85

apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall not be 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 nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.


 







SECTION 8.7.     Reliance
on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, 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) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory,
sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying,
upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such
Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being maker thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior
to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance,
extension or amendment of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank,
the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance to the making of such Loan or the
issuance, extension or amendment of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel
for any Borrower or an employee of the Administrative Agent), 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.

suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document
delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against
the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the
Lenders or Issuing Banks), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided
that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent, (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(d) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.8,
be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall reimburse the
Lenders for any amounts the Lenders have paid to the extent such amounts are subsequently recovered from the Borrowers. The obligations
of the Lenders under this Section 8.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations, termination and expiration of the Letters of Credit

SECTION 8.9.     Notice
of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers, the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks.


 


SECTION 8.10.     Rights
as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights
and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Credit Extensions as any Lender or any
Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
or “Issuing Bank” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender or an Issuing Bank, unless the context otherwise
indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any
kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with
each Borrower or any of its Affiliates and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks. The Administrative
Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender.

SECTION 8.11.     Independent
Credit Decision. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of
a commercial lending facility, (b) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities
set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of its business and is making
the Loans hereunder as commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding
any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing),
(c) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation
Agent, any other Lender or any other Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on the financial
statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis
and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder
and (d) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities
set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making
its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring
or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any other Issuing Bank, and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank, by delivering its signature page to
this Agreement, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or a Commitment Increase Amendment, shall be deemed
to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to,
or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Restatement Effective Date.


 







SECTION 8.12.     Erroneous
Payments. (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or
such Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or such
Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such
Lender or such Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or such Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a
portion thereof), such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to
the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds,
together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by
such Lender or such Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and
a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to
time in effect, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not assert, and
hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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 Payments received, including any defense based
on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Bank
under this Section 8.12 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.


 


(b) 
Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of
its Affiliates (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by
the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (ii) that
was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect
to such Payment. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion
thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence
and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to
the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together
with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender
or such Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.


 






    	 	88	 



     


    


 


(c) 
The Borrowers hereby agree that (i) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender
or any Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated
to all the rights of such Lender or such Issuing Bank with respect to such amount and (ii) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay,
repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided
that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to the extent that 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 Borrowers for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment.


 


(d) 
Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.12 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any transfer
of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.


 


SECTION 8.13.     Bankruptcy
Event. In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Borrower under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or
any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise:


 


(a) 
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure
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 Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agents (including any claim under Sections 2.7, 2.11, 2.12,
3.1, 3.2, 3.5 and 9.10) 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 proceeding is hereby authorized
by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount
due to it, in its capacity as an Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.10).


 






    	 	89	 



     


    

 


SECTION 8.14.     Successor
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing
Banks and the Borrowers, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor
Administrative Agent has been appointed, 45 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon
any such resignation, the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed, provided that such consent shall not be required in the event and continuation of an Event of Default), shall have
the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or consented to by the Borrowers within 30 days after the resigning Administrative
Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers
and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has
been appointed, the Required Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrowers shall make all
payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lenders and Issuing Banks and for all other purposes shall deal directly with
the Lenders and Issuing Banks. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and, at such time, holds cash collateral under this Agreement,
the Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such cash collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and the applicable Issuing Banks
until a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder
until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Unless otherwise agreed by the Company, any such successor Administrative
Agent shall be a Lender or, if no Lender will accept such appointment, a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least
$1,000,000,000 (or such lower amount as shall be acceptable to the Company). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of
the Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under
the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII
and Sections 3.1, 3.5 and 9.10, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan
Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents and in respect of any cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent as described above.


 


SECTION 8.15.     Administrative
Agent Fees. Each Borrower severally and not jointly agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the agent fees
separately agreed to by such Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to and in accordance with that certain fee letter dated October 20,
2022 and as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing from time to time.


 


SECTION 8.16.     Delegation
to Affiliates. The Borrowers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties
under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates (it being agreed that the Administrative Agent will remain responsible for the performance
of all such duties). Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s Related Parties) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement
shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent
is entitled under Articles VIII and IX.

    	 	92	 



     


    

 


(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in paragraph (a) of this Section 9.1:


 


(i) any provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by each Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to correct any administrative or other manifest error, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders
shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received,
within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required
Lenders object to such amendment:


 







(ii) this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended as provided in Sections 2.4(j), 2.20, 2.22 and 3.3(b);

of Rights. No omission of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks to exercise or delay in exercising any right
under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the inability of a
Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or
partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver,
amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing
signed by, or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of, the requisite number of Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.1,

be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders until all of the Obligations

in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount

                                            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

                                            be entitled to the benefits of Article III and Section 9.10). Any assignment or
                                            transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
                                            this Section 9.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender
                                            of a participation in such Lender’s rights or obligations as provided in Section 9.4(c).

                                            Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers,
                                            shall maintain at one of its offices 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
                                            Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements
                                            owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
                                            The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrowers,
                                            the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name
                                            is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes
                                            of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available
                                            for inspection by either Borrower and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Issuing Bank or
                                            Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Register
                                            is intended to cause the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations to be
                                            in registered form within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of

                                            forms required by Section 3.5(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
                                            hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section and any written
                                            consent to such assignment required by 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. Each assignee, by its execution and delivery
                                            of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender

(c) 
Participations.


 


		(i)	Any
                                            Lender may, without the consent of either Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline
                                            Lender or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Participants”)
                                            in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
                                            all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such
                                            Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender
                                            shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
                                            and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
                                            a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
                                            right to enforce this Agreement and to approve, without the consent of any Participant, 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 9.1(a) that affects such Participant or requires
                                            the approval of all of the Lenders or all of the affected Lenders. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of
                                            this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
                                            of Article III to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
                                            by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted
                                            by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.4 as though
                                            it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.20
                                            as though it were a Lender.

		(ii)	A
                                            Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1,
                                            3.2 or 3.5 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 Borrowers’ prior written consent or except to the extent
                                            such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after
                                            the Participant acquired the applicable participation.



 







		(iii)	Each
                                            Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
                                            agent of the Borrowers, 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 any Loan Document (the “Participant Register”);
                                            provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of
                                            the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating
                                            to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other
                                            obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure
                                            is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation
                                            is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
                                            The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such
                                            Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the
                                            owner of such participation for all purposes of any Loan Document notwithstanding any notice
                                            to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility
                                            for maintaining a Participant Register. The Participant Register is intended to cause the
                                            applicable Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation to be in registered form
                                            within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code and Sections
                                            5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.



 


(d) 
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or
other central banking authority, 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 pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


 


SECTION 9.5.     Survival.
All representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in this Agreement shall survive the making of the Credit Extensions herein
contemplated. Until all the Obligations of each Borrower (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been fully paid and
satisfied (or in the case of LC Exposure, cash collateralized as provided herein), all Commitments shall have terminated and all other
obligations to make any further financing arrangements between each Borrower and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
shall have been terminated, all of the rights and remedies with respect to such Borrower and its Obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall survive.

SECTION 9.6.     Governmental
Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to
either Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.



 


SECTION 9.7.     Headings.
Article and Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation
of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents.


 


SECTION 9.8.     Entire
Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and
the Lenders, and between the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders on one hand, and the Borrowers individually on the
other hand, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among and between such parties, as the case may be, relating to the
subject matter thereof (but do not supersede (a) any provisions of the fee letters related to the credit facilities established
hereby or (b) the indemnification and reimbursement provisions of any commitment letter related to the credit facilities established
hereby that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain
in full force and effect).


 


SECTION 9.9.     Several
Obligations. The respective obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender or
Issuing Bank shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act
as such). The failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not
relieve the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any Issuing Bank of any of its obligations hereunder.


 


SECTION 9.10.     Expenses;
Indemnification.


 


(a) 
Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Arranger (but not the Lenders)
for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one
firm of legal counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of and reasonable fees for
other advisors and professionals engaged by the Administrative Agent or any Arranger) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or
the Arrangers in connection with the investigation, preparation, negotiation, documentation, execution, delivery, syndication, distribution
(including via the internet and the Platform), review, amendment, modification and administration of the Loan Documents (such legal out-of-pocket
expenses and fees to be limited to the fees of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP insofar as the arrangement, syndication, negotiation,
documentation and closing of the credit facilities established hereby are concerned). Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Borrowing
Subsidiary and the Company also agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and, during an Event of Default, the Issuing
Banks and the Lenders for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees, disbursement and
other charges of any legal counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) paid or incurred by
the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the collection of the Obligations and enforcement
of the Loan Documents.

(b) 
Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Borrowers hereby further agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Arranger,
each Issuing Bank, each Lender and their Related Parties (each such Person being referred to as an “indemnified party”)
against all Liabilities and related expenses (including all Liabilities and expenses related to or resulting from any claim, litigation,
investigation, arbitration or other proceeding or preparation therefor, whether commenced by the Borrowers or their Affiliates or by
any third party, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether or not the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing
Bank, any Lender or any of their Related Parties is a party thereto, and all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges
of any legal counsel for the party seeking indemnification) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby and the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the
proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit hereunder, except to the extent that such Liabilities and related expenses have resulted, as
determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (i) from the gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of the indemnified party seeking indemnification, (ii) from the material breach by the indemnified party seeking
indemnification of its agreements hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (it being agreed, however, that no such breach shall be
deemed to occur as a result of any reasonable assertion in good faith by any indemnified party that any condition to any of its obligations
hereunder has not been satisfied) or (iii) from claims of one or more indemnified parties against another indemnified party (other
than claims against the Administrative Agent (or any other designated agent), any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Arranger
in their capacities, or in fulfilling their roles, as such) and not involving any act or omission of the Borrowers or their subsidiaries
or any of their respective Affiliates (or any such Person’s officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents or representatives).
This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than Taxes that represent Liabilities or expenses arising from any non-Tax
claim.


 


(c) 
Each amount payable under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be an obligation of, and shall be discharged
by, (i) to the extent arising out of acts, events and circumstances related to a particular Borrower, such Borrower, and (ii) otherwise,
both Borrowers, with each of them being severally, but not jointly, liable for its Contribution Percentage of such amount; provided
that the Company agrees that, if the Borrowing Subsidiary shall fail to pay any amount owed by it under clause (ii) of this
paragraph (c) after a demand shall have been made by the Person to which such amount is owed, the Company shall promptly pay such
amount (the Company hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations
of the Borrowing Subsidiary under this Section).


 


(d) 
To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger,
the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section (and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to pay such amount), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, such Arranger, the Swingline Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share (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 Liabilities and related expenses were incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent, such Arranger, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing
acting for the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity.


 






    	 	101	 



     


    

 


(e) 
The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 9.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and, as to each
Borrower, the Availability Termination Date of such Borrower.


 







SECTION 9.11.     Severability
of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction shall,
as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or
the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents
are declared to be severable.


 


SECTION 9.12.     No
Fiduciary Duties; Limitation on Liability. (a)  The relationship between the Borrowers individually on the one hand and the
Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. No provision in
any Loan Document, the transactions contemplated thereby, any relationships established thereby, any communications pursuant thereto
or the nature of services provided by the Lenders, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or their respective Affiliates shall create
an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative
Agent or their respective Affiliates on the one hand and the Borrowers and their subsidiaries, Affiliates or equityholders on the other
hand. Each Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any of
their respective Affiliates based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Person in connection with any Loan Document and the
transactions contemplated thereby. None of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender undertakes any responsibility
to the Borrowers to review or inform the Borrowers of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrowers’ businesses or operations.


 


(b)            The
Borrowers agree that none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates
shall have liability to the Borrowers (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrowers in connection
with, arising out of or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents or
any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party from
which recovery is sought or (ii) the material breach by the party from which recovery is sought of its agreements hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents (it being agreed, however, that no such breach shall be deemed to occur as a result of any reasonable assertion
in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender that any condition to any of its obligations
hereunder has not been satisfied).


 






    	 	102	 



     


    

 


(c)            None
of the Borrowers or any Lender-Related Person shall have any liability for, and each Borrower and each Lender-Related Person party hereto
hereby agrees not to assert and hereby waives, any Liabilities against any Borrower or any Lender-Related Person, on any theory of liability,
for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, or in connection
with or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that each Borrower shall be obligated
as, and subject to the limitations, provided in Section 9.10 (or in any other agreement to which such Borrower is a party) to indemnify
the Lender-Related Persons against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages that may be asserted against them.


 







(d)            No
Lender-Related Person shall be liable, and each Borrower agrees not to assert and hereby waives, any claim against any Lender-Related
Person, on any theory of liability, for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of any information or other materials (including
any personal data) distributed 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 (including the internet and Platform), except
to the extent resulting from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Lender-Related Person or (ii) the
material breach by such Lender-Related Person of its agreements hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (it being agreed, however,
that no such breach shall be deemed to occur as a result of any reasonable assertion in good faith by any Lender-Related Person that
any condition to any of its obligations hereunder has not been satisfied), in each case, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


SECTION 9.13.     Confidentiality.
Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from either Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective Related Parties,
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, in each case on a need to know basis and which have been informed as to the confidential
nature of such information, (b) to Governmental Authorities purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including
any self-regulatory authority such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to any Person as required by law,
regulation, or legal process (provided that, to the extent legally permitted, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall provide each Borrower
with notice of such required disclosure to permit the Borrowers to contest the necessity thereof), (d) to any Person in connection
with any legal proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby to which such Lender or Issuing Bank is a party (provided that, to the extent legally permitted, such Lender
or Issuing Bank shall provide the Borrowers with notice of such required disclosure to permit the Borrowers to contest the necessity
thereof), (e) to any assignee of or participant in, or prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement, if and to the extent such Person has been informed as to the confidential nature of such information and has agreed
to treat such information in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.13, (f) to such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or credit insurance providers with respect to the credit facilities
established hereunder, or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to any of the foregoing, in each case which have
been informed as to the confidential nature of such information and have agreed to treat such information in accordance with the terms
of this Section 9.13, (g) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating
to this Agreement or the Loans hereunder, (h) with the consent of such Borrower, (i) to any other party to this Agreement,
(j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (k) to the CUSIP Service
Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities established
hereunder and (l) information that is of the type routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table
providers, that serve the lending industry, such as information identifying the Borrowers, the type, amount and maturity of the credit
facility established hereby and the roles and titles of the Arrangers and agents named on the cover hereof (but excluding any confidential
information relating to the Borrowers).

SECTION 9.14.         Nonreliance.
Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in
the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for herein.


 


SECTION 9.15.         Disclosure.
Each Borrower, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their Affiliates
from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with the Borrowers and their Affiliates.


 


SECTION 9.16.         Certain
Notices. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby notifies the Borrowers that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which
information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or Issuing Bank to identify
the Borrowers in accordance with its requirements. The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or Issuing Bank, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank
reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money
laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.


 


SECTION 9.17.         Non-Public
Information. Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrowers
or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level
information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that (a) it has developed
compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including
Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (b) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may
receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and
foreign securities laws.


 


SECTION 9.18.         Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together
with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”),
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or
reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and
Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above
the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the date of repayment, shall
have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.19.     Setoff.
In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under applicable law, if any Event of Default
pursuant to Section 7.1(b), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g) occurs with respect to a Borrower, or any other Event of Default with respect
to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing and the Required Lenders shall have terminated any Commitments as to such Borrower or accelerated
the maturity of any Loans to such Borrower, then any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and
whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender
or any Issuing Bank to or for the credit or account of such Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations
owing by such Borrower to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due. Promptly
upon the exercise of its right of setoff hereunder, each Lender and Issuing Bank shall deliver written notice thereof to the Administrative
Agent and the Administrative Agent shall make such notice available to the other Lenders and Issuing Banks.


 


SECTION 9.20.     Ratable
Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal
of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment
of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest
thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash
at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent
necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of
principal of and accrued interest on their Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline 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 Section shall
not be construed to apply to any payment made by either Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document (for the avoidance of doubt, in each case as amended from time to time) or any payment obtained by a Lender
as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to either Borrower or any subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each 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 each Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor
of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”,
 “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document
shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, electronic deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries
by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be
of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic
Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further,
without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on
behalf of each Borrower without further verification thereof and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
or any Issuing Bank, any Electronic Signature shall be reasonably promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including in connection with any workout,
restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks, Electronic Signatures transmitted by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means and/or any electronic images of
this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as
any paper original, (ii) agrees that the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks may, at its option,
create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic
record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original
paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect,
validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity
or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original
copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature
pages thereto and (iv) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative
Agent’s, any Lender’s and/or any Issuing Bank’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by
emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising
as a result of the failure of the Borrowers to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission
of any Electronic Signature.

Status or Level IV Status and (ii) the applicable Borrower’s Moody’s Rating is Baa2 or better and the applicable Borrower’s
S&P Rating is BBB or better.
