SECTION 1.06. Interest
Rates; LIBORBenchmark
Notification. The interest rate on Term Benchmark Loansa
Loan denominated in Dollars is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived
from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks
may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would
no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor
to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for
purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank
offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine thedollars
or a Foreign Currency may be derived from an interest rate on Term Benchmark Loans denominated
in Dollars. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative
reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer
available or in certain other circumstances as set forth inbenchmark
that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition
Event, Section 2.14(c) of this Agreement, Section 2.14(cb)
provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will
notify the Borrowers, pursuant to Section 2.14, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Term
Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility
for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission,
performance or any other matter related to the London interbank offeredany
interest rate or other ratesused
in the definition of “LIBO Rate”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,
as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.14(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic
equivalence of, the LIBO Rateexisting
interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank
offeredany
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 the Borrowers, any Lender or
any other person or entity 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.

is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or, for any Foreign Currency Borrowing, an approximate equivalent thereof as determined by the
Administrative Agent) and not less than $1,000,000 (or, for any Foreign Currency Borrowing, an approximate equivalent thereof as determined
by the Administrative Agent). At the time that each ABR Borrowing and/or RFR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate
amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing and a RFR Borrowing
may be in an aggregate amount (i) that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Commitments or (ii) that
is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e). Borrowings of more than
one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of
twelve Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowings or RFR Borrowings outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Loans which are not denominated
in Dollars may be made in amounts and increments in the applicable Foreign Currency satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


 


(d)            Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing
if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Term Loan Maturity Date or Revolving Maturity Date, as applicable.


 


(e)            Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign office, branch
or Affiliate of such Lender (an “Applicable Lending Installation”) to make such Loan that has been designated by such
Lender to the Administrative Agent. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Applicable Lending Installation of such Lender
and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Applicable Lending Installation.
Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, designate replacement or additional Applicable
Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. Any exercise of such
option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(iv)            the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;


 


(v)            whether
such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing;

Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.05. [Intentionally
Omitted].


 


SECTION 2.06. Letters
of Credit. (a) Several Letters of Credit.


 


(i)            Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative may request the Issuing Agent to issue, on behalf of each Revolving
Lender, letters of credit denominated in Dollars or Foreign Currencies for the joint and several account of the Borrowers, in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Agent (each such letter of credit, a “Several Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Several Letters of
Credit”) (which form may include having such Several Letters of Credit, though issued for the joint and several account of
the Borrowers, reflect on their face Subsidiaries of the Parent as the account party and name as the beneficiaries thereof commercial
counterparties or creditors of such Subsidiaries), at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. It is the intention
of the parties to this Agreement that Several Letters of Credit issued to support reinsurance-related obligations shall have terms and
conditions necessary to qualify such Several Letters of Credit as permissible collateral under applicable law and, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Agent and the Revolving Lenders agree to issue such Several Letters of Credit. In the event
of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by any Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower with, the Issuing Agent relating to any
Several Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.


 


(ii)            By
the issuance of a Several Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Several Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by the Issuing
Agent and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Agent or the Revolving Lenders, each Revolving Lender hereby acquires
an obligation under such Several Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage under the Revolving Credit
Facility (or other applicable share if the Borrowers have made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such Several Letters
of Credit) of the aggregate amount to be drawn under such Several Letter of Credit (subject to the provisions in this Agreement regarding
Limited Fronting Lenders). The obligations of each Revolving Lender under and in respect of each Several Letter of Credit are several,
and the failure by any Revolving Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit shall not affect the obligations
of the Borrowers toward any other party hereto nor shall any other such party be liable for the failure by such Revolving Lender to perform
its obligations hereunder or under any Several Letter of Credit.


 






    -46-


     


    

 


(iii)            Each
Several Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the Issuing Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for,
each Revolving Lender and the Issuing Agent shall act under each Several Letter of Credit, and each Several Letter of Credit shall expressly
provide that the Issuing Agent shall act, as the agent of each Revolving Lender, to (a) receive drafts, other demands for payment
and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such Several Letter of Credit, (b) determine whether such drafts, demands
and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Several Letter of Credit and (c) notify such Revolving Lender
and the Borrowers that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related Several Unpaid Drawing is to be made (and the Issuing
Agent agrees to promptly make such determination and give such notice to the Revolving Lenders and the Borrowers); provided that,
the Issuing Agent shall have no obligation or liability for any Several Unpaid Drawing under such Several Letter of Credit, and each
Several Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Issuing Agent
as its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer of the Issuing Agent, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf
of such Revolving Lender each Several Letter of Credit to be issued by such Revolving Lender hereunder and to take the other actions
described in clauses (a) through (c) above. Promptly upon the request of the Issuing Agent, each Revolving Lender
will furnish to the Issuing Agent such powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any Several Letter of Credit may reasonably
request in order to demonstrate that the Issuing Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Lender to execute and deliver
such Several Letter of Credit.


 


(iv)            Each
Revolving Lender in respect of the issuance of Letters of Credit represents that on the date of this Agreement (or, if later, the date
such Revolving Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) it is a NAIC Approved Bank or it has in effect a Limited Fronting Agreement
with a Limited Fronting Lender. Each Revolving Lender in respect of the issuance of Letters of Credit agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts in order to, at all times, (i) be listed on the NAIC Approved Bank List or (ii) maintain in effect a Limited Fronting
Agreement with a Limited Fronting Lender. If at any time any Revolving Lender shall cease to be a NAIC Approved Bank, such Revolving
Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent.


 


(v)            In
the event that any Revolving Lender or any other Person acceptable to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent which is listed on the
NAIC Bank List agrees (in its sole and absolute discretion) to act as a Limited Fronting Lender for any Non-NAIC Approved Bank pursuant
to which such Limited Fronting Lender will itself honor the obligations of such Non-NAIC Approved Bank in respect of Several Letters
of Credit as if, and to the extent, such Limited Fronting Bank were originally named on such Several Letters of Credit, and upon such
other terms and conditions as such parties may agree (including fees payable by such Non-NAIC Approved Bank to such Limited Fronting
Lender) (such agreement, a “Limited Fronting Lender Agreement”), the following provisions shall apply (in addition
to any other provisions hereof relating to Limited Fronting Lenders):


 


(A)            Upon
the issuance of any Several Letter of Credit pursuant hereto, with respect to any Non-NAIC Approved Bank under such Several Letter of
Credit, each applicable Limited Fronting Lender, in reliance upon the agreement of such Non- NAIC Approved Bank set forth in this Section,
agrees (A) to issue through the Issuing Agent, in addition to its own obligations as a Revolving Lender under such Several Letter
of Credit, severally such Several Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Non-NAIC Approved Bank's Applicable Percentage under the
Revolving Credit Facility (or other applicable share if the Borrowers have made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such
Several Letters of Credit) of the stated amount of such Several Letter of Credit (or the portion thereof for which such Limited Fronting
Lender has agreed to be a Limited Fronting Lender), and (B) to amend or extend each Several Letter of Credit previously issued by
it as a Limited Fronting Lender for such Revolving Lender;


 






    -47-


     


    

 


(B)            With
respect to any Several Letter of Credit issued by a Limited Fronting Lender pursuant to clause (A) above, such Revolving
Lender agrees to purchase participations (as provided in Section 2.06(a)(vi)) in the obligations of such Limited Fronting
Lender under such Several Letter of Credit attributable to such Revolving Lender for which such Limited Fronting Lender has agreed to
act as a Limited Fronting Lender hereunder; and


 


(C)            Such
Revolving Lender in respect of the issuance of Letters of Credit shall promptly furnish a copy of its Limited Fronting Agreement to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.


 


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
no Revolving Lender shall have any obligation to agree to act hereunder as a Limited Fronting Lender for any other Person unless such
Revolving Lender has entered into a Limited Fronting Lender Agreement in its sole and absolute discretion.


 


(vi)            In
the event any Revolving Lender purchases a participation in the Letter(s) of Credit of its Limited Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(v),
then, without any further action on the part of any party, such Limited Fronting Lender grants to such Revolving Lender, and such Revolving
Lender hereby acquires from such Limited Fronting Lender, a participation in such Limited Fronting Lender’s Applicable Percentage
(or other applicable share if the Borrowers have made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such Several Letters of Credit)
of the relevant Letters of Credit attributable to such Revolving Lender for which such Limited Fronting Lender has agreed to act as a
Limited Fronting Lender hereunder. Each Revolving Lender purchasing a participation hereunder acknowledges and agrees that its obligation
to acquire such participations 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 or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction
or termination of the Commitments. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, such Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the applicable Limited Fronting Lender an amount equal to the
amount of each payment made by such Limited Fronting Lender in respect of the portion of such Letter of Credit in which such Revolving
Lender holds a participation, promptly upon the request of such Limited Fronting Lender at any time from the time such payment is made
until such payment is reimbursed by the Borrowers or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers
for any reason or at any time as may be set forth in the Limited Fronting Lender Agreement between such Limited Fronting Lender and such
Revolving Lender. Such payment by such Revolving Lender shall be made for account of the applicable Limited Fronting Lender without any
offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. To the extent that any Revolving Lender has made payments pursuant to this paragraph
to reimburse a Limited Fronting Lender in respect of any participation interests purchased hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit,
promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers or any other account party pursuant to Section 2.06(e) in
respect of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Limited Fronting Lender and such Revolving
Lender, in each case as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender in respect of its participation pursuant to
this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Limited Fronting Lender for any payment made in any respect of any drawing under a Letter
of Credit shall not relieve the Borrower or any other account party of its obligation to reimburse the amount of such drawing pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)            Fronted
Letters of Credit.


 


(i)            Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative may request any Fronting Bank to issue (and any Fronting Bank,
in its sole discretion may issue), one or more Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Foreign Currencies for the joint and several
account of the Borrowers, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Bank (each such letter of credit,
a “Fronted Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Fronted Letters of Credit”) (which form may
include having such Fronted Letters of Credit, though issued for the joint and several account of the Borrowers, reflect on their face
Subsidiaries of the Parent as the account party and name as the beneficiaries thereof commercial counterparties or creditors of such
Subsidiaries), at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted
by any Borrower to, or entered into by any Borrower with, the Fronting Bank relating to any Fronted Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions
of this Agreement shall control. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Existing Letter of Credit shall, without any further action
by any party, be deemed to have been issued as a Letter of Credit hereunder by JPMCB on the date of such effectiveness and shall for
all purposes hereof be treated as a Fronted Letter of Credit under this Agreement.


 


(ii)            By
the issuance of a Fronted Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Fronted Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without
any further action on the part of the Fronting Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Fronting Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender,
and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Fronting Bank (each such Revolving Lender, in its capacity under this Section 2.06(b) a
 “Fronting Participant”), a participation in such Fronted Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage under the Revolving Credit Facility of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Fronted Letter of Credit. In
consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the applicable Fronting Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made
by the Fronting Bank under the Fronted Letters of Credit and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph
(e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Fronted Letters
of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or
extension of any Fronted Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments,
and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Upon any change in the Revolving
Commitments or Applicable Percentages with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Agreement
(including pursuant to Section 2.20), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Fronted Letters of Credit
and Fronted Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.06 to
reflect the new Applicable Percentages with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility of the assignor and assignee Revolving Lender or
of all Revolving Lenders with Revolving Commitments, as the case may be.


 






    -49-


     


    

 


(iii)            In
the event that any Fronting Bank makes any payment under any Fronted Letter of Credit and the Borrowers fail to make such payment when
due pursuant to Section 2.06(e), such amount (which, if denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall be converted
into Dollars at the Exchange Rate) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Fronting
Participant of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Fronting Participant’s
Applicable Percentage under the Revolving Credit Facility thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Fronting Participant
shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage under the Revolving Credit Facility of the payment then due from the
Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
pay to the Fronting Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent
of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Fronting
Bank, or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Fronting Bank, then to
such Revolving Lenders and the Fronting Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph
to reimburse the Fronting Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not
constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.


 


(c)            Notice
of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment,
renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Representative shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by
electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable LC Issuer) to the applicable LC Issuer and
the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting
the issuance of a Several Letter of Credit or Fronted Letter of Credit, as applicable, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended,
renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on
which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount and currency
of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, whether such Letter of Credit will be a Secured Letter of
Credit or an Unsecured Letter of Credit and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter
of Credit. If requested by the applicable LC Issuer, the Borrower Representative also shall submit a letter of credit application on
the applicable LC Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued,
amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit each Borrower shall
be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure
shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of an amount equal to the Revolving Commitments and (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit
Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments.


 






    -50-


     


    

 


(d)            Expiration
Date. Unless approved by the applicable LC Issuer and each Revolving Lender, each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the
close of business on the date one year or less after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal
or extension thereof, one year or less after such renewal or extension); provided that any Letter of Credit will include, if requested,
customary “evergreen” provisions; provided further that (i) no Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date more
than one year after the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) the applicable LC Issuer shall be under no obligation to renew or extend any
Letter of Credit after the Revolving Maturity Date and (iii) with respect to of any Letter of Credit expiring after the Revolving
Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall cash collateralize such Letter of Credit on or before the date five (5) Business Days prior to
the Revolving Maturity Date in the manner and to the extent described in Section 2.06(j).


 


(e)            Reimbursement.
If any Revolving Lender or any Fronting Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, it may notify the Borrowers
and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Borrowers) and the Borrowers shall reimburse such
LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Revolving Lender or such Fronting Bank, as applicable,
an amount equal to such LC Disbursement calculated as of the date such LC Disbursement is made not later than 3:00 p.m., Local Time,
on the second Business Day following the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower Representative shall have received notice
of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower Representative
prior to such time on such date, then not later than 3:00 p.m., Local Time, on (i) the second Business Day following the date that
the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of receipt,
or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the second Business Day after the day that the Borrower Representative receives such
notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 (but without regard to the minimum and
multiples specified in such Section) that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount of such LC
Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by
the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing.


 






    -51-


     


    

 


(f)            Obligations
Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 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 any Revolving
Lender or any Fronting 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, or (iv) 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,
the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any LC Issuer, nor any of their
Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter
of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication
under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation
of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of applicable LC Issuer; provided that the foregoing
shall not be construed to excuse any LC Issuer from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers
that are caused by the such LC Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented
under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of any LC Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such LC Issuer shall be
deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof,
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, the applicable LC Issuer 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 applicable LC Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent
a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
Representative by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such LC Issuer has made or will make an LC
Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their
obligation to reimburse such LC Issuer and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.


 


(h)            Interim
Interest. If any Revolving Lender or any Fronting Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers 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 such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the
rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement
when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant
to this paragraph shall be for the account of (i) each Revolving Lender pro rata in accordance with its Applicable Percentage with
respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, in the case of Several Letters of Credit or (ii) the applicable Fronting Bank, in the
case of Fronted Letters of Credit, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to
paragraph (b)(iii) of this Section to reimburse the applicable Fronting Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving
Lender to the extent of such payment.


 






    -52-


     


    

 


(i)            Replacement
of the Issuing Agent. The Issuing Agent may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the replaced Issuing Agent and the successor Issuing Agent. At the time any such replacement shall become
effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Agent pursuant to Section 2.12(b).
From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Agent shall have all the rights and obligations
of the Issuing Agent under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references
herein to the term “Issuing Agent” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Agent, or to such
successor and all previous Issuing Agent, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Agent hereunder, the replaced
Issuing Agent shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Agent under this Agreement
with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.


 


(j)            Cash
Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and if all outstanding Loans have been declared
to be due and payable pursuant to Article VII, then, on the Business Day that the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an
account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount
in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; 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 the Borrowers described in clause (h) or
(i) of Article VII or (ii) any Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date after the Revolving Maturity
Date, on the date five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative
Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, (A) in the case of Letters of Credit
denominated in Dollars, an amount in cash in Dollars equal to 105% of the face amount of such Letters of Credit and (B) in the case
of Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, in cash in Dollars equal to 120% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit
or, at the request of the Issuing Agent or the Fronting Bank, as applicable, in cash in the relevant Foreign Currency equal to 105% of
the face amount of such Letter of Credit. Any such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and
performance of the obligations of the Borrowers 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 at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ 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 the Revolving Lenders or the Fronting Bank, as applicable, for LC Disbursements
for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations
of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other
obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder (i) as
a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers
within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived and (ii) as a result of the expiration of a Letter
of Credit extending past the Revolving Maturity Date, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers
within three Business Days after the surrender or expiration of such Letter of Credit.

(k)            LC
Issuer Agreements. Each LC Issuer agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer shall report
in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) during
the immediately preceding week in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer, including all issuances, extensions, amendments
and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day
on which such LC Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding
after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that
such LC Issuer shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of
Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement,
(iii) on each Business Day on which such LC Issuer makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of
such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrowers fail to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed
to such LC Issuer (or any Revolving Lender, with respect to any Several Letter of Credit that such LC Issuer issued) on such day, the
date of such failure and the amount and currency of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information
as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Such reports shall be provided to any Lender upon such Lender’s request.


 


(l)            Collateral
for Secured Letters of Credit. If a Borrower requests that any Letter of Credit be issued as a Secured Letter of Credit pursuant
to Section 2.06(c), then at or prior to the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit such Borrower shall deposit (or cause
to be deposited) with the Collateral Agent Eligible Collateral having an aggregate Loan Value in an amount which results in the aggregate
Loan Value of all such Eligible Collateral being at least equal to 100% of the face amount of such Secured Letters of Credit. If at any
time the aggregate LC Exposure associated with such Letters of Credit shall exceed the amount of such Eligible Collateral deposited with
the Collateral Agent, such Borrower shall, within three Business Days of receipt of written request therefor from the Administrative
Agent, deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Collateral Agent such additional Eligible Collateral as may be required to eliminate
such excess. If such Borrower shall fail to provide such additional Eligible Collateral within such time period, such Letter of Credit
shall (from and after such third Business Day until such excess has been eliminated) be treated as an Unsecured Letter of Credit for
purposes of determining the fees payable to the Lenders with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.12(b). The Administrative
Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure in respect of Secured Letters of Credit from time to time in its discretion.
For the avoidance of doubt, any cash collateral deposited with the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(j) shall
constitute Eligible Collateral under this Section 2.06(l).

(m)            Adjustment
of Applicable Percentages. Upon (i) each addition of a new Revolving Lender hereunder and (ii) each change in the Revolving
Commitment of a Revolving Lender pursuant to this Agreement, including pursuant to an increase in the commitments pursuant to Section 2.09(d),
then (A) in the case of each outstanding Several Letter of Credit, with the consent of the beneficiary thereunder to the extent
required by the terms thereof or under applicable law (including, if applicable, the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits
governing such Several Letter of Credit), the Administrative Agent shall promptly amend such Several Letter of Credit to specify the
Revolving Lenders that are parties thereto, after giving effect to such event, and such Revolving Lenders’ respective Applicable
Percentages (or other applicable share if the Borrowers have made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such Several Letters
of Credit) as of the effective date of such amendment and (B) in the case of each outstanding Fronted Letter of Credit, the participation
interest of each Revolving Lender therein shall automatically be adjusted to reflect, and each Lender shall have a participation in such
Fronted Letter of Credit equal to, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn
under such Fronted Letter of Credit after giving effect to such event. However, it is acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and the
Revolving Lenders that amendments of outstanding Several Letters of Credit may not be immediately effected. Accordingly, whether or not
Several Letters of Credit are amended as contemplated hereby, the Revolving Lenders agree that they shall purchase and sell participations
or otherwise make or effect such payments among themselves (but through the Administrative Agent) so that payments by the Revolving Lenders
of drawings under Several Letters of Credit and payments by the Borrowers of LC Disbursements and interest thereon are, except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein, in each case shared by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with the respective Applicable Percentages (or
other applicable shares if the Borrowers have made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election with respect to such Several Letters of Credit) of
the Revolving Lenders from time to time in effect.


 


SECTION 2.07. Funding
of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer
of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for
such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting
the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account specified pursuant to Section 2.03, which shall be an account of a
Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City (or, in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, in such
other location as may be designated by the Administrative Agent) and designated by the Borrowers in the applicable Borrowing Request;
provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall
be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage with respect
to the Revolving Credit Facility (in the case of Several Letters of Credit) or the applicable Fronting Bank (in the case of Fronted Letters
of Credit).


 






    -55-


     


    

 



 


(b)            Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Section 2.07 and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (x) the
greater of the Federal Funds Effectiveapplicable
Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or (y) the rate reasonably determined by
the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency) or
(ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative
Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.


 


(c)            In
the event that the Borrowers have made a Non-Pro Rata Issuance Election and thereafter the Borrowers request a Revolving Loan, such Revolving
Loan shall, subject to the other terms and provisions hereof, be advanced first, by those Non-NAIC Approved Banks that do not participate
in the issuance, renewal, extension or amendment of one or more Several Letters of Credit as the result of such Non-Pro Rata Issuance
Election until, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Exposure owing to the Lenders are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance
with their respective Revolving Commitments and second, by the Lenders (including such Non-NAIC Approved Banks) pro rata in accordance
with their respective Revolving Commitments; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate outstanding amount of the
Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender shall not exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Lender notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 2.07(c).


 


SECTION 2.08. Interest
Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and
Agreed Currency specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing, shall
have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert
such Borrowing to a different Type, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case
of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may
elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated
ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered
a separate Borrowing.


 


(b)            To
make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone
by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower Representative were requesting
a Borrowing of the Type and denominated in the currency resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.
Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower
Representative.


 



    -56-


     


    

 


(c)            Each
telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:


 


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


 


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


 


(iii)            whether
the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing (in
the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars), a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR
Borrowing (in
the case of Borrowings denominated in Sterling); and


 


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


 


If any such Interest Election Request requests
a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have selected
an Interest Period of one month’s duration.


 


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


 


(e)            If
the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing
in
Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such
Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converteddeemed
to have
an ABRInterest
Period that is one month. If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect
to a Term Benchmark Borrowing (unless such Borrowing is denominated
in a Foreign Currency, in which case prior
to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Term
Benchmark Borrowing shallis
repaid as provided herein, the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have selected that such Term Benchmark Borrowing shall automatically
be continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing in its original ForeignAgreed
Currency with an Interest Period of one month’s duration
commencing on at
the last dayend
of such Interest Period). Notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the
Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative,
then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving
Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing, and
(ii) unless repaid, (x) each
Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing and
each RFR Borrowing, in each case denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing
at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iiiy)
unless repaid, each Term Benchmark Borrowing and
each RFR Borrowing, in each case denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be
continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s durationbear
interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent
determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable
Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars
shall either be (A) converted to an ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign
Currency) at the end of the Interest Period, as applicable, therefor or (B) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period,
as applicable, in full; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower Representative by the earlier of (x) the date that
is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower Representative of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest
Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above.

SECTION 2.09. Termination
and Reduction and Increase of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated (or extended pursuant to Section 2.22),
the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. The Term Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the
Term Loan on the Effective Date.


 


(b)            The
Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction
of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the
Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving
Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.


 


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


 


(d)            The
Borrower Representative at its option may, from time to time, after the Effective Date, seek to increase the total Revolving Commitments
by up to an aggregate amount of $100,000,000 (resulting in maximum total Revolving Commitments of $300,000,000) upon at least three (3) Business
Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such increase (which shall
not be less than $10,000,000 or such lesser amount to which the Administrative Agent may agree) and shall certify that no Default has
occurred and is continuing. After delivery of such notice, the Parent, in its discretion, may offer the increase (which may be declined
by any Lender in its sole discretion) in the total Revolving Commitments on either a ratable basis to the Lenders or on a non pro-rata
basis to one or more Lenders and/or to other Lenders or entities that are NAIC Approved Banks and are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Agent, the Fronting Banks and the Borrower Representative; provided that no increase may be offered to any
entity that is an Ineligible Institution. No increase in the total Revolving Commitments shall become effective until the existing or
new Lenders extending such incremental Revolving Commitment amount and the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent
a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which (i) any such existing Lender
agrees to the amount of its Revolving Commitment increase, (ii) any such new Lender agrees to its Revolving Commitment and agrees
to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Lender hereunder, (iii) the Borrowers accept such incremental Revolving Commitments,
(iv) the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Commitments is specified and (v) the Borrowers certify that on such
date the conditions for a new Loan set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied. Upon the effectiveness of any increase in the
total Revolving Commitments pursuant hereto, (i) each Lender (new or existing) shall be deemed to have accepted an assignment from
the existing Lenders, and the existing Lenders shall be deemed to have made an assignment to each new or existing Lender accepting a
new or increased Revolving Commitment, of an interest in each then outstanding Revolving Loan (in each case, on the terms and conditions
set forth in the Assignment and Assumption) and (ii) the LC Exposure of the existing and new Lenders shall be adjusted as contemplated
by Section 2.06(m) such that, after giving effect to such assignments and adjustments, all Revolving Credit Exposure
hereunder is held ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments. Assignments pursuant to the preceding
two sentences shall be made in exchange for, and substantially contemporaneously with the payment to the assigning Lenders of, the principal
amount assigned. Payments received by assigning Lenders pursuant to this Section in respect of the principal amount of any Term
Benchmark Loan shall, for purposes of Section 2.16 be deemed prepayments of such Loan. Any increase of the total Revolving
Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) shall be subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers
of such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. No consent
of any Lender (other than the Lenders agreeing to new or increased Revolving Commitments) shall be required for any incremental Revolving
Commitment provided or Revolving Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.09(d).

SECTION 2.10. Repayment
of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each applicable Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Maturity Date
and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Lender the unpaid principal amount of its Term Loan on the
Term Loan Maturity Date.


 


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


 


(c)            The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and
Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become
due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.


 



    -59-


     


    

 


(d)            The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or
the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers
to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


(e)            Any
Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver
to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns)
and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall
at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such
form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).


 


(f)            If
as of any date a determination is required or authorized to be made under the Credit Documents the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure
of the Lenders exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, the Borrowers shall within two (2) Business Days prepay
the Loans in the amount of such excess. To the extent that, after the prepayment of all Loans an excess of the Credit Exposure over the
aggregate Revolving Commitments still exists, the Borrowers shall promptly cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in the manner described
in Section 2.06(j) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.


 


(g)            The
Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate LC Exposure and the Dollar Equivalent of each Loan on each
Exchange Rate Date. If at any time the sum of such amounts exceeds 105% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, the Borrowers
shall within two (2) Business Days prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the sum of such amounts to no greater
than the amount of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders. To the extent that, after the prepayment of all Loans an excess
of the sum of such amounts over the aggregate Revolving Commitments still exists, the Borrowers shall promptly cash collateralize the
Letters of Credit in the manner described in Section 2.06(j) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.


 


SECTION 2.11. Prepayment
of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part
and without prepayment or penalty, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.


 


(b)            The
Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or
electronic mail) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of (x) a
Term Benchmark Borrowing (denominated
in Dollars or Euros), not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before
the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an RFR Revolving Borrowing denominated in Sterling, not later than 11:00
a.m., Local Time, five RFR Business Days before the date of prepayment or (iiiiv)
in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment.
Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof
to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the
Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09(d), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of
termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09(d). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall
be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02.
Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied
by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

case of Secured Letters of Credit, at the applicable rate per annum set forth on Schedule 1.02 under the caption “Secured
Letter of Credit Fee” on the average daily amount available to be drawn under such Secured Letter of Credit, in each case, during

terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the applicable LC Issuer pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable
within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c)            The
Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed
upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing
Agent or the applicable Fronting Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation

to an ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to
the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency) at the end of the Interest
Period, as applicable, therefor or (2) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period, as applicable, in full; provided
that if no election is made by the Borrower Representative by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business
Days after receipt by the Borrower Representative of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable

to compensate a Lender or an LC Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days
prior to the date that such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day

SECTION 2.17. Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Credit Document
shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined
in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment
by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely
pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is
an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable 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 2.17)
the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.


 


(b)            Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. 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)            Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17,
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.


 


(d)            Indemnification
by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers 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.


 



    -71-


     


    

 


(e)            Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any
Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has 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 9.04(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 Credit 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 Credit Document or otherwise
payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this
paragraph (e).


 


(f)            Status
of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made
under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the
Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to
determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or
would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.


 


(ii)            Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any 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 upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,

the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN;
or


 


(4)            to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS
Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2

that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio
interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4
on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


 



    -73-


     


    

 


(C)            any
Foreign Lender (with respect to such Borrower) 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 Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S.
Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit
such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and


 


(D)            if
a payment made to a Lender under any Credit 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 such Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such 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 such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with
their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include
any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


 


(iii)            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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability
to do so.


 


(g)            Additional
United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters.


 


(i)            Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to (ii) below, each Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment to such
Lender shall cooperate in completing as soon as reasonably possible any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain
authorization to make such payment without withholding or deduction or subject to a reduced rate of withholding or deduction for Taxes
imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom and renew such authorization where it expires or ceases to have effect.


 


(ii)            (A) 
A Lender on the day on which this Agreement closes that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes
such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its

    -74-


     


    

 


(B)  a Lender
which becomes a Lender hereunder after the day on which this Agreement closes that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty

the UK Borrower(s) shall duly complete and file HMRC form DTTP2 with HMRC within 30 days of the date of this Agreement in respect
of a Lender falling within Section 2.17(g)(ii)(A) and within 30 days of the date a Lender falling under Section 2.17(g)(ii)(B) becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (a “Borrower DTTP Filing”) with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such
Lender with a copy of such filing; provided that, if:


 


(A)            (A) 
each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in
respect of such Lender; or


 


(B)            (B) 
each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect
of such Lender but:


 


(1)            (1) such
Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or


 


(2)            (2) HM
Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for tax within
60 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing;


 


and
in each case, such UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of either (1) or (2) above, then such Lender and such UK
Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization

(vi)            Each
Lender shall promptly notify the Parent and Administrative Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that it ceases to be entitled
to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party with respect to payments made by any UK Borrower
hereunder.


 


(vii)            A
Lender on the day on which this Agreement closes which is a Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of (b)(ii) of the definition of Qualifying
Lender gives a Tax Confirmation by entering into this Agreement.

the UK Borrower receives a notification from H.M. Revenue & Customs that a QPP Certificate given by a Lender has no effect,
the UK Borrower shall promptly provide a copy of such notification to the Parent and Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant
Lender.


 


(h)            Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant
to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party
the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (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 paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying
party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been
deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been
paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.


 


(i)            Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

(j)            Defined
Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes the LC Issuers and the term “applicable
law” includes FATCA.


  


(k)            For
purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the 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 2.18. Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein with respect to the reimbursement
of LC Disbursements, each of the Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest,
fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time,
on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date
may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes
of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn, Floor
19, Chicago, Illinois 60603 (or, for payments denominated in a Foreign Currency, to J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, 125 London Wall,
London EC2Y 5AJ), except payments to be made directly to an LC Issuer as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant
to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative
Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period
of such extension. All payments hereunder of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which
such Loan is denominated or (ii) any other amount due hereunder or under another Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment
required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative
Agent shall at or before such time have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating
procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.


 


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


 


(c)            If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest
on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate
amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Term 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 of other Lenders without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders except as contemplated by
Section 9.04 in respect of assignments to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by
the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations
in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving
rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any of the Borrowers
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment
of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to
the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each of the Borrowers
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 any of the Borrowers rights of set-off 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.


 



    -77-


     


    

 


(d)            Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any LC Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers
have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay
to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such LC Issuer with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent,
(i) at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of an amount denominated in Dollars) and (ii) the rate reasonably determined
by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of an amount denominated in a Foreign Currency).


 


(e)            If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(e), 2.07(c), 2.18(d) or
9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply
any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent or the applicable LC Issuer to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations
are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future
funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined
by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.


 


SECTION 2.19.
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a)     If any
Lender or LC Issuer requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any of the Borrowers is required to pay any Indemnified
Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or LC Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or LC Issuer pursuant
to Section 2.17, then such Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, (at the written request of such Borrower) shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans, LC Disbursements or participations in LC Disbursements
(as applicable) hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in
the judgment of such Lender or LC Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or LC Issuer
to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or LC Issuer. The Borrowers hereby agree
to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or LC Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.


 



    -78-


     


    

 


(b)            If
any Lender or LC Issuer requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any of the Borrowers is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.17, or
if any Lender or LC Issuer becomes a Defaulting Lender, a Non-NAIC Approved Bank or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may,
at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or LC Issuer
to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04),
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender or LC Issuer, if a Lender or LC Issuer accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower Representative
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each LC Issuer),
which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to
it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the
case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15
or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation
or payments and (iv) such assignee shall not be an Ineligible Institution. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment
and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.


 


(c)            The
Borrowers may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this clause (c), request that all Several Letters of Credit that
are required to be issued or that are outstanding during the period that a Non-NAIC Approved Bank (i) does not have a Limited Fronting
Lender and (ii) continues to be a Revolving Lender hereunder be issued or renewed, extended or amended, as applicable, by the Revolving
Lenders on a pro rata basis that excludes the Revolving Commitment of such Non-NAIC Approved Bank, provided that, if the Borrowers
elect to request that any Several Letter of Credit be issued, renewed, extended or amended on an adjusted pro rata basis, (i) such
issuance, renewal, extension or adjustment shall be made only to the extent that it would not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure owing
to any Revolving Lender to exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (ii) thereafter, if the Borrowers elect
to request a Revolving Loan, such Revolving Loan shall be advanced as provided in Section 2.07(c).

SECTION 2.20. Joint
and Several Liability of the Borrowers.


 


(a)            Each
of the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder and under each of the other Credit Documents with respect to all Loans
and all other Obligations, regardless of which of the Borrowers actually receives the proceeds of the Loans or the benefit of any other
extensions of credit hereunder, or the manner in which the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer
accounts therefore in their respective books and records. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i) each Borrower’s
obligations and liabilities with respect to proceeds of Loans which it receives or Letters of Credit issued for its account, and related
fees, costs and expenses, and (ii) each Borrower’s obligations and liabilities arising as a result of the joint and several
liability of Borrowers hereunder with respect to proceeds of Loans received by, or Letters of Credit issued for the account of, any of
the other Borrowers, together with the related fees, costs and expenses, shall be separate and distinct obligations, both of which are
primary obligations of such Borrower. The joint and several liability of each of the Borrowers shall not be impaired or released by (A) the
failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the applicable LC Issuer, any successors or assigns thereof, or any holder of any
of the Obligations to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right, power or remedy against any Borrower, any Subsidiary,
any other Person or otherwise; (B) any extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) or exchange
of any of the Obligations or the release or compromise of any obligation of any nature of any Person with respect thereto; (C) the
surrender, release or exchange of all or any part of any property securing payment, performance and/or observance of any of the Obligations
or the compromise or extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) of any obligations of any nature
of any Person with respect to any such property; (D) any action or inaction on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or the applicable LC Issuer, or any other event or condition with respect to any other Borrower, including any such action or inaction
or other event or condition, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Borrower, or a guarantor
or surety of or for any or all of the Obligations; and (E) any other act, matter or thing (other than indefeasible payment in full
or performance of the Obligations) which would or might, in the absence of this provision, operate to release, discharge or otherwise
prejudicially affect the obligations of such Borrower or any other Borrower.


 


(b)            Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, to the extent the joint obligations of a Borrower
shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of Section 548 of Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar
U.S. or foreign statute or common law) then the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is
permissible under applicable law (whether foreign, federal or state and including, without limitation, the federal Bankruptcy Code).


 


(c)            To
the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 2.20 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans
the proceeds of which were received by such Borrower) (a “Surety Payment”) that, taking into account all other Surety
Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid
if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Surety Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower’s
 “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Surety Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable
Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Surety Payment, then, following indefeasible payment
in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification
payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable
Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Surety Payment. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount”
of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 2.20
without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable
state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar U.S. or foreign statute or common law. This Section 2.20(c) is
intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 2.20(c) is intended to
or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.20(a). Nothing contained in this Section 2.20(c) shall
limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses
with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable. The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution
and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrowers to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. The rights
of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Borrowers under this Section 2.20(c) shall be exercisable only upon the
full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.


 



    -80-


     


    

 


(d)            The
liability of Borrowers under this Section 2.20 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower
to the Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which such Borrower is a party, without
any limitation as to amount.


 


SECTION 2.21. Defaulting
Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following
provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:


 


(a)            fees
shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12;


 


(b)            the
Revolving Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders,
the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02),
provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects
such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;


 


(c)            if
any LC Exposure with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:


 


(i)            all
or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages under the Revolving Credit Facility but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving
Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving
Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; and


 



    -81-


     


    

 


(ii)            if
the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one
Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving
effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for
so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;


 


(iii)            if
the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.21(c), the
Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to
such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;


 


(iv)            if
the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders
pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages under
the Revolving Credit Facility; or


 


(v)            if
any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then,
without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any LC Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have
been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment that
was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Fronting Banks until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and


 


(d)            so
long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Fronting Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Fronted Letter of Credit,
unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or
cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and participating interests in any
such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and
Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).


 


(e)            If
(i) a Bankruptcy Event or
a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof
and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Fronting Bank has 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, such Fronting Bank shall
not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Fronting Bank shall have entered into arrangements with
a Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to such Fronting Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.


 


(f)            In
the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Fronting Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied
all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the
inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other
Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage.

SECTION 2.22. Extension
of Revolving Maturity Date.


 


(a)            Requests
for Extension. The Parent may, on up to two (2) occasions and by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify
the Lenders) not less than sixty (60) days prior to the then effective Revolving Maturity Date (the “Extension Date”),
request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Revolving Maturity Date for an additional one year from the Revolving Maturity Date
then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Termination Date”).


 


(b)            Lender
Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given
not later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s
request for an extension (the “Notice Date”) advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to
such extension (each such Lender that determines to so extend its Revolving Maturity Date, being an “Extending Lender”
and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Revolving Maturity Date, being a “Non-Extending Lender”). In
the event that a Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date such Lender shall be deemed to
be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.


 


(c)            Notification
by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent of each Lender’s determination under this Section no
later than the date fifteen (15) days prior to the Extension Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business
Day).


 


(d)            Additional
Revolving Commitment Lenders. If (and only if) the Required Lenders have agreed to extend the Revolving Maturity Date then in effect
hereunder, the Parent shall have the right at any time prior to the date 30 days prior to the existing Revolving Maturity Date applicable
to any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement, one or
more entities that are not Ineligible Institutions with the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Fronting Bank (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or denied) (each, an “Additional Revolving Commitment Lender”) in accordance with
the provisions contained in Section 2.09(d), provided that each of such Additional Revolving Commitment Lenders shall
have entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to which such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender shall, effective
as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption, accept a new or incremental Revolving Commitment which results in there being aggregate
Revolving Commitments in an amount no greater than the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments before giving effect to assignments
contemplated by this Section 2.22(d).


 


(e)            Minimum
Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the Required Lenders have agreed so to extend the Revolving Maturity Date then in effect
hereunder as described in this Section 2.22, then, effective as of such Extension Date, the Revolving Maturity Date of each
Extending Lender and each Additional Revolving Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Existing Termination
Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such date shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Revolving
Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however,
that there shall be no change in the Revolving Maturity Date of any Non-Extending Lender that has not been replaced by an Additional
Revolving Commitment Lender (each a “Non-Replaced Lender”).


 



    -83-


     


    

 


(f)            Conditions
to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Revolving Maturity Date pursuant to this Section shall
not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:


 


(i)            no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto;


 


(ii)            the
representations and warranties contained in Article V or any other Credit Document are true and correct on and as of the
date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent any such representation
or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct
on and as of such earlier date;


 


(iii)            since
the date of the financial statements most recently delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (c), no event, circumstance
or development shall have occurred that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;


 


(iv)            the
Parent shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated the Effective Date in form satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent as to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) – (iii) above and other relevant
documentation, including legal opinions, reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and


 


(v)            on
the Revolving Maturity Date of each Non-Replaced Lender, the Borrowers shall prepay any Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16) to the extent necessary to repay, nonratably, the Loans of such Non-Replaced Lenders
and the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Replaced Lenders shall be terminated. The Applicable Percentages under the Revolving Credit
Facility of the remaining Lenders shall be revised accordingly as of such date.


 


(g)            Conflicting
Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or 9.02 to the contrary.

ARTICLE III


 


Representations and Warranties


 


Each of the Borrowers represents
and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:


 


SECTION 3.01. Organization;
Powers. Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction
of its organization and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure
to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to
do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.


 


SECTION 3.02. Authorization;
Enforceability. The Transactions are within the Borrowers’ corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers and constitutes
a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrowers, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless
of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.


 


SECTION 3.03. Governmental
Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any
other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will
not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws, memorandum or articles of association or other organizational documents
of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
and (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Parent or any
of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries,
but only to the extent that such violation or default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 


SECTION 3.04. Financial
Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrowers have heretofore furnished to the Lenders the consolidated balance sheet
and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (including consolidating statements and schedules) of the Parent as of and
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 20162020
and December 31, 20172021,
reported on without qualification by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants. Such financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP.


 


(b)            Since
December 31, 20172021,
there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or financial condition of the Parent and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole.


 


SECTION 3.05. Properties.
(a) The Parent and its Subsidiaries have good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all their real and personal property material
to their business, taken as a whole, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with their ability to conduct their business
as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.


 


(b)            Each
of the Parent and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual
property material to its business, and, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, the use thereof by the Parent and its Subsidiaries does not
infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 



    -85-


     


    








 


SECTION 3.06. Litigation.
There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge
of the Borrowers, threatened against or affecting the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that could reasonably be expected, individually
or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.


 


SECTION 3.07. Compliance
with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with: (i) the charter, by-laws, memorandum
or articles of association or other organizational documents applicable to it and (ii) all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental
Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 


SECTION 3.08. Investment
Company Status. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to
regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.


 


SECTION 3.09. Taxes.

and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Parent or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves
or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 


SECTION 3.10. ERISA.
No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability
is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated
benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87)
did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $10,000,000 the fair market
value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the
assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent
financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $10,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded
Plans.


 


SECTION 3.11. Insurance
Licenses. As of the Effective Date, (i) Schedule 3.11 attached hereto lists all of the jurisdictions in which any Significant
Insurance Subsidiary holds active licenses and is authorized to transact insurance business, (ii) no such license is the subject
of a proceeding for suspension or revocation, there is no sustainable basis for such suspension or revocation, and to any Borrower’s
knowledge, no such suspension or revocation has been threatened by any Governmental Authority, except as could not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) Schedule 3.11 also indicates the type or types of insurance in which each such
Insurance Subsidiary is permitted to engage with respect to each license therein listed, and (iv) none of the Significant Insurance
Subsidiaries transacts any insurance business, directly or indirectly, in any state other than those enumerated in Schedule 3.11.


 



    -86-


     


    

 


SECTION 3.12. Subsidiaries.
As of the Effective Date, the Parent has no Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 3.12. Schedule 3.12
correctly sets forth, as of the Effective Date, (i) the percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of the Parent in the Equity
Interests of its Subsidiaries and also identifies the direct owner thereof, (ii) the jurisdiction of organization of each such Subsidiary
and (iii) with respect to each such Subsidiary, whether such Subsidiary is a Significant Subsidiary or Significant Insurance Subsidiary;
provided that the identification of Significant Subsidiaries on Schedule 3.12 may be provided within thirty (30) days after
the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 to the contrary, Schedule 3.12 shall be amended to reflect
such Significant Subsidiaries upon identification thereof as contemplated thereby.


 


SECTION 3.13. Material
Agreements. Neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations,
covenants or conditions contained in any agreement to which it is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

(a)            Each
of the Borrowers has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its
Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf
of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder
taken as a whole (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrowers represent only that such information
was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time (it being understood that projected financial
information is as to future events and is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any
such information may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material).


 


(b)            As
of the Effective Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification provided on or prior to the Effective Date
to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all respects.


 


SECTION 3.15. Solvency.
The Parent and its Subsidiaries are, on a consolidated basis, Solvent.


 


SECTION 3.16. Foreign
Pension Plan. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
(i) each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and in compliance with the requirements of any and
all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders (including all funding requirements and the respective requirements of the
governing documents for each such Foreign Pension Plan) and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory
authorities, (ii) all contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made, (iii) no
actions or proceedings have been taken or instituted to terminate or wind up a Foreign Pension Plan, and (iv) neither any Borrower
nor any Subsidiary has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. The
present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of
the Parent’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed
by more than $10,000,000 the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.


 






    -87-


     


    

 


SECTION 3.17. Anti-Corruption
Laws and Sanctions. The Borrowers have implemented and maintain in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance
in all material respects by the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption
Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and their respective directors and officers and to the knowledge
of the Borrowers its employees and agents (under the control of any Borrower or Subsidiary), are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws
and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (a) the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or to the knowledge of the Borrowers
or such Subsidiary any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of the Borrowers, any agent
(under the control of any Borrower or Subsidiary) of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with
or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing or Letter of Credit, use of proceeds or
other transaction contemplated by the Credit Agreement will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions. The
foregoing representations in this ‎Section 3.17 will not apply to any party hereto to which Council Regulation (EC) 2271/96
(the “Blocking Regulation”) applies, if and to the extent that such representations are or would be unenforceable pursuant
to, or would otherwise result in a breach and/or violation of, (i) any provision of the Blocking Regulation (or any law or regulation
implementing the Blocking Regulation in any member state of the European Union) or (ii) any similar blocking or anti-boycott law
in the United Kingdom.


 


SECTION 3.18. EEAAffected
Financial Institutions. No Loan PartyBorrower
is an EEAAffected
Financial Institution.


 


SECTION 3.19. Plan
Assets; Prohibited Transactions. None of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries is an entity deemed to hold “plan assets”
(within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) and neither the execution, delivery nor performance of the transactions contemplated
under this Agreement, including the making of any Loan and the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, will give rise to a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.


 


SECTION 3.20.
Margin
Regulations. The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries are not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of their important activities,
in the business of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, and
no part of the proceeds of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit extension hereunder will be used to buy or carry any Margin Stock. Following
the application of the proceeds of each Borrowing or drawing under each Letter of Credit, not more than 25% of the value of the assets
(either of the Borrowers only or of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) will be Margin Stock.

such liquidation or dissolution is in the best interests of the Borrowers and is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders; provided

ARTICLE VIII


 


The Administrative Agent


 


Each of the Lenders and each
of the LC Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.


 


The bank serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.


 


The Administrative Agent shall
not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the
Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and
is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in
writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances
as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have
any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries
that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 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 under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in
the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement,
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance
or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition
set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to
the Administrative Agent.


 






    -104-


     


    

 


The Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not
incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers),
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.


 


The Administrative Agent may
perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative
Agent, including JP Morgan Europe Ltd. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise
its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to
any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of 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.


 


Subject to the appointment
and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders, the LC Issuers and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation
with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the LC Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office
in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by
a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers
to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers
and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 Administrative Agent.


 


If the Person serving as Administrative
Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation
with the Borrowers, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”),
then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.


 






    -105-


     


    

 


Each Lender acknowledges and
agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise
or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course
of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and
to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the
United States securities laws concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue
to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer
its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.


 


The Administrative Agent shall
be permitted from time to time to designate one of its Affiliates to perform the duties to be performed by the Administrative Agent hereunder
with respect to Loans and Borrowings denominated in Foreign Currencies. The provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to
any such Affiliate mutatis mutandis.


 


The Lenders identified on the
front page of this Agreement as Co-Syndication Agents or Co-Documentation Agents shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none
of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments
with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in this Article VIII.


 


Each
of the Lenders and the LC Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion: (a) to release
any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Security Document (i) upon termination of the
Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations
and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit
that have been cash collateralized or backstopped to the reasonable satisfaction of the applicable LC Issuer), (ii) that is sold
or otherwise disposed of (other than to a Borrower) or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any conveyance,
sale, transfer or other disposition expressly permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document, or (iii) subject to Section 9.02,
if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and (b) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
to release AIH and AUA from their respective obligations under this Agreement as a “Borrower” and from all other respective
obligations under the Credit Documents upon consummation of the Specified S1200 Sale in accordance with 6.03(b)(iii). Upon request by
the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release
its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release AUA or AIH from its obligations under the Credit Documents pursuant
to this paragraph. In each case as specified in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute
and deliver to the applicable Borrower such documents as such Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of any such item
of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to release AUA or AIH from its obligations
under the Credit Documents (including, without limitation, a short-form release agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to AUA and/or AIH and the Administrative Agent), in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and this paragraph.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding
the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien
thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable
to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.


 






    -106-


     


    

 


Each
Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its
sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender 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 (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such
Lender 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 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 (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender
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 without
limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any
Lender under this ‎paragraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a
Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from,
that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment
Notice”) or (y) 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 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 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 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. Each Borrower hereby agrees that
(x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or
portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount
and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower;
provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent
any 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 any Borrower for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment. Each party’s obligations under this
paragraph shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the
replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any
Credit Document.

(b)            Notices
and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems or other electronic communications
pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to
Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the

Unless the Administrative Agent

receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available,
return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall

(d)            Electronic
Systems.


 


(i)            Each
Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to
the LC Issuers and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially
similar Electronic System.


 


(ii)            Any
Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties
(as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in
the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any
Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its
Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers, any Lender, any LC Issuer or any
other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential
damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
transmission of Communications through an Electronic System. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication,
information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to any Credit Document or the transactions
contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer by means of electronic communications

SECTION 9.02. Waivers;
Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right or power
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment
or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any
departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of
any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default
at the time.


 


(b)            Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender,
(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal
amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse
any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected
thereby, (iv) change any portion of this Agreement in a manner that would alter the pro rata nature of payments, loans and Commitment
reductions under this Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or
the definitions of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required
to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent
of each Lender, (vi) release any Borrower from any of its joint and several liabilities in respect of the Obligations without the
written consent of each Lender (provided,
that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, no consent of any Lender, LC Issuer or the Administrative
Agent shall be required with respect to such release of AIH and/or AUA as set forth herein upon the consummation of the Specified S1200
Sale in accordance with Section 6.03(b)(iii)) or (vii) change any provision
of Sections 2.06(d), 2.06(j), 2.10(g) or 2.10(h) without the consent of each Lender adversely affected
thereby; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent or any LC Issuer hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuer, as the case may be.


 


(c)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Schedule 3.11 hereto shall be deemed amended without the consent of any other party solely to reflect revisions
or supplements of the type described in the parenthetical in the first sentence of Section 3.11 upon the delivery by the
Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent of a revised Schedule 3.11 reflecting such revisions and supplements.

(d)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no amendment or amendment and restatement of this Agreement which is in all other respects approved by the Lenders in
accordance with this Section 9.02 shall require the consent or approval of any Lender (i) which immediately after giving
effect to such amendment or amendment and restatement, shall have no Commitment or other obligation to maintain or extend credit under
this Agreement (as so amended or amended and restated), including, without limitation, any obligation in respect of any drawing under
or participation in any Letter of Credit and (ii) which, substantially contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment
or amendment and restatement, is paid in full all amounts owing to it hereunder (including, without limitation principal, interest and
fees, but excluding unmatured contingent obligations). From and after the effectiveness of any such amendment or amendment and restatement,
any such Lender shall be deemed to no longer be a “Lender” hereunder or a party hereto; provided, that any such Lender
shall retain the benefit of indemnification and other provisions hereof which, by the terms hereof would survive a termination of this
Agreement.


 


(e)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, upon the execution and delivery of all documentation required by Section 2.09(e) to be delivered in connection
with an increase to the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the new or existing Lenders whose
Revolving Commitments have been affected may and shall enter into an amendment hereof (which shall be binding on all parties hereto and
the new Lenders) solely for the purpose of reflecting any new Lenders and their new Revolving Commitments and any increase in the Revolving
Commitment of any existing Lender.


 


(f)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend any Credit Document to correct administrative or technical errors
or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender and any such amendment shall become effective without
any further consent of any other party to such Credit Document.


 


SECTION 9.03. Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver;
Limitation of Liability. (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable, documented out of pocket expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of legal counsel
for the Administrative Agent plus any required local counsel, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) without duplication of amounts otherwise payable
hereunder, all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any LC Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of (A) (1) one
primary counsel and, as deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, one additional local counsel and/or regulatory counsel in each
applicable jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and (2) one primary counsel and, as deemed appropriate by the Lenders, one
additional local and/or regulatory counsel for all the Lenders in each applicable jurisdiction (as well as additional counsel for the
Lenders in light of actual or potential conflicts of interest), and (B) a financial advisor for the Administrative Agent, the LC
Issuers and the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including
its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of
-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b)            The
Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons
(each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee,
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery
of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations
hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit
or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any LC Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if
the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any
actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrowers or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual
or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any
other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ directors, shareholders or creditors,
and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that
represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.


 


(c)            To
the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuer under paragraph
(a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such LC Issuer, as
the case may be, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such LC Issuer
in its capacity as such.


 


(d)            To
the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the
Borrowers shall not assert, and the
Borrowers hereby waive, any claim against any Indemniteethe
Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent any LC Issuer and any Lender, and any Related Party
of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) for any losses, claims (including
intraparty claims), demands, damages or liabilities of any kind arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including,
without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including
the internet) except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger,
any Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent any LC Issuer and any Lender, or any Lender-Related Person, and (ii) no party
hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any losses, claims (including intraparty claims), demands, damages or liabilities
of any kind against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement,
any other Credit Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or
thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof;
provided that, nothing in this ‎clause
(d) shall relieve any Borrowerthe
Borrowers of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee,
as provided in ‎Section 9.03(b), against any
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee
by a third party.

SECTION 9.04. Successors
and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any LC Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), except
that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and
void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any LC Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to
the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties
of each of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason
of this Agreement.

Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:


 


(ii)            the
Parent; provided that after the passage of ten (10) Business Days from receipt of written notice to the Parent from the Administrative
Agent of a proposed assignment without the Parent giving the Administrative Agent written notice of the Parent’s objection to such
assignment, the Parent shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment; provided further that no consent of the Parent shall
be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, any other assignee;


 


(iii)            the

    -113-


     


    

 


(iv)            the
Issuing Agent; and

Fronting Bank.

shall be subject to the following additional conditions:


 


(vii)            except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall
not be less than $5,000,000 unless the Parent and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of
the Parent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;


 


(viii)            each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;


 


(ix)            the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b),
the term “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:


 


“Approved Fund”
means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar
extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate
of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender, (c) any Borrower or any of their Affiliates, (d) a holding company,
investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof (provided

such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and
(z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans

(xi)            Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and,
in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16,
2.17 and 9.03); provided, however, that no Lender may assign any obligation under a Several Letter of Credit
unless such Several Letter of Credit is either amended or returned by the beneficiary and reissued by the Issuing Agent, removing or
amending, as the case may be, the assigning Lender’s percentage obligations and replacing or amending the same with the percentage
obligations of the assignee. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply
with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.


 


(xii)            The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an 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 of (and stated interest on) 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, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent,
the LC Issuers and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection
by the Borrowers, any LC Issuer and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


 


(xiii)            Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable,
an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and
the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the
assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and
any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning
Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(e), 2.07(b),
2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and
record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued
interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided
in this paragraph.

(c)            Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuer, sell participations to one or more banks
or other entities (a “Participant”) other than an Ineligible Institution 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 LC Issuers
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 any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.
The Borrowers agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject
to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under 2.17(f) and (g) (it being understood that the
documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the information and
documentation required under Section 2.17(g) will
be delivered to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject
to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall
not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than
its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, 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. Each Lender that sells a participation
agrees, at any Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions
of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose
as a non-fiduciary agent of the 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 the Credit Documents (the
 “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of
the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in
any Commitments or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such Commitment or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States
Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)            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 without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, 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 9.05. Survival.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered
in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation
made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue
in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under
this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (unless, in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit, such
Fronted Letters of Credit have been cash collateralized or backstopped in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Fronting
Banks and the Administrative Agent) and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15,
2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.


 


SECTION 9.06. Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This
Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract
among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which,
when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this

Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements

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


 


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

“Level I
Status” exists at any date if, on such date, the S&P Rating or Fitch Rating is BBB+ or better or the Moody’s Rating is
Baa1 or better.


 


“Level II
Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the Borrowers have not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) the S&P
Rating or Fitch Rating is BBB or better or the Moody’s Rating is Baa2 or better.


 






     


     


    

 


“Level III
Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the Borrowers have not qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and
(ii) the S&P Rating or Fitch Rating is BBB- or better or the Moody’s Rating is Baa3 or better.


 


“Level IV
Status” exists at any date if, on such date, (i) the Borrowers have not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status or Level
III Status and (ii) the S&P Rating or Fitch Rating is BB+ or better or the Moody’s Rating is Ba1 or better.


 


“Level V
Status” exists at any date if, on such date, the Borrowers have not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status
or Level IV Status.


 


“Fitch Rating”
means, at any time, the issuer credit rating (or comparable rating) issued by Fitch and then in effect with respect to Argo US or Parent.


 


“Moody’s
Rating” means, at any time, the issuer credit rating (or comparable rating) issued by Moody’s and then in effect with respect
to Argo US or Parent.


 


“Rating”
means a Moody’s Rating, a Fitch Rating or an S&P Rating.


 


“S&P
Rating” means, at any time, the issuer credit rating issued by S&P and then in effect with respect to Argo US or Parent.


 


The Applicable Rate shall
be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the Borrowers’ Status as determined from the then-current Moody’s
Rating, Fitch Rating and S&P Ratings. The Rating in effect on any date for the purposes of this Schedule is that in effect at the
close of business on such date. If at any time only one Rating exists, then Status shall be determined on the basis of the existing Rating.
If at any time a Borrower has no Moody’s Rating, no Fitch Rating and no S&P Rating, Level V Status shall exist. If at any time
a different credit rating is issued by either Moody’s, Fitch or S&P, then the highest of such credit ratings shall apply (with
the credit rating for Level I being the highest and the credit rating for Level V being the lowest), unless there is a split in credit
ratings of more than one Level, in which case the Level that is one Level higher than the Level of the lowest credit rating shall apply.


 


If on any date of determination
of the Moody’s Rating, Fitch Rating or S&P Rating, as applicable, there exists both an Argo US rating by such rating agency
and a Parent rating by such rating agency and there is a split between such ratings, then the higher of such ratings shall apply for
purposes of determining the Moody’s Rating, Fitch Rating or S&P Rating, as applicable, (unless there is a split in the ratings
of such ratings agency by more than one level, in which case the level that is one level higher than the lower rating shall apply).


 


Until adjusted after the Effective
Date, Level III Status shall be deemed to exist.

                                            are beneficially entitled to the interest which is payable to us on the Loan for genuine

These confirmations together form a
