of directors, managing general partners or the equivalent of another Person, in each case whether or not involving a merger or
consolidation with such other Person and whether for cash, property, services, assumption of Debt, securities or otherwise and
(b) any Drop-Down Acquisition.


 


“Administrative
Agent” means Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC in its capacity as administrative agent under any of the Loan Documents, or
any successor administrative agent.


 


“Administrative
Agent’s Office” means the Administrative Agent’s address and, as appropriate, account as set forth on Schedule 10.02,
or such other address or account as the Administrative Agent may from time to time notify the Borrower and the Lenders.


 


“Administrative
Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.


 


“Affiliate”
means, with respect to any Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or
is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified. “Control” means the possession, directly
or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a Person, whether through the ability
to exercise voting power, by contract or otherwise. “Controlling” and “Controlled” have meanings
correlative thereto.


 


“Agent-Related
Persons” means the Administrative Agent, together with its Affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, agents
and attorneys-in-fact of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates.


 


“Aggregate
Commitments” means the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders. The Aggregate Commitments on the Closing Date immediately

has the meaning specified in the introductory paragraph hereto.


 


“Anti-Terrorism

and embargoes, import/export licensing, money laundering or bribery, and any regulation, order, or directive promulgated, issued

“Applicable
Rate” means the percentages per annum set forth in the “Pricing Grid” below, based upon the Public Debt Ratings
of the Borrower:


 






     


     


    

 


PRICING GRID


 


	Pricing

 Level	Public Debt Ratings

S&P/Moody’s/Fitch	Eurodollar

 Rate	Base 

Rate
	1	BBB+/Baa1/BBB+ or higher	1.000%	0.000%
	2	BBB/Baa2/BBB	1.125%	0.125%
	3	BBB-/Baa3/BBB-	1.250%	0.250%
	4	BB+/Ba1/BB+	1.500%	0.500%
	5	BB/Ba2/BB or lower or unrated by S&P and Moody’s	1.750 %	0.750%


 


“Public
Debt Ratings” means a rating to be based on the Borrower’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt
ratings established by S&P, Moody’s, and/or Fitch. If at any time there is a Public Debt Rating issued by each Designated

be based on such Public Debt Ratings that are equal or (b) no Public Debt Ratings are equal, the intermediate Public Debt Rating
will apply. In the event that the Borrower shall maintain Public Debt Ratings from only two of S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch,
and there is a split in such Public Debt Ratings, (i) in the event of a single level split, the higher Public Debt Rating (i.e.
the lower pricing) will apply and (ii) in the event of a multiple level split, the pricing will be based on the rating one level
lower than the higher of the two. If only one Public Debt Rating is available, it must be from S&P or Moody’s and such
Public Debt Rating shall apply. In the event that the Borrower does not have a Public Debt Rating from at least one of S&P
or Moody’s, then the Applicable Rate shall be calculated at “Pricing Level 5” on the “Pricing Grid”
above. Each change in the Applicable Rate resulting from a publicly announced change in the Public Debt Ratings shall be effective
during the period commencing on the date of the public announcement thereof and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective
date of the next such change. For the avoidance of doubt, the pricing level in effect on the Closing Date shall be “Pricing
Level 3” on the “Pricing Grid” above.

which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no
nearest number).

THE COMMITMENTS AND BORROWINGS


 


2.01.         
The Loans.


 


(a)               
Initial Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans
(each such loan, an “Initial Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date, in an aggregate amount equal to
the amount of such Lender’s Commitment as set forth on Schedule 2.01. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment,
and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a) and prepay
under Section 2.05. Initial Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.


 


(b)               
Incremental Term Loans. Subject to Section 2.17, the other terms and conditions set forth herein and the relevant
Incremental Term Loan Agreement, each Incremental Term Lender having an Incremental Term Commitment severally agrees to make Incremental
Term Loans to the Borrower as specified in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement in a principal amount not exceeding its
Incremental Term Commitment. Unless otherwise specified in an Incremental Term Loan Agreement, Incremental Term Loans may be Base
Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.


 


(c)               
Once repaid or prepaid, no Loan may be reborrowed (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that this Section
2.01(c) shall not limit the Borrower’s right pursuant to the terms of Section 2.17 to request a different Series
of Incremental Term Loans following repayment or prepayment of any Series of Incremental Term Loans).


 






    25


     


    

 


(d)               
Each Lender’s Commitment (other than any Incremental Term Commitments, which shall terminate as provided in the related
Incremental Loan Agreement) shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the
funding of such Lender’s Commitment on such date.


 


2.02.         
Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.


 


(a)               
Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be made upon the Borrower’s delivery to the Administrative Agent of an irrevocable written Loan Notice, appropriately completed
and signed by a Responsible Officer of the General Partner, on behalf of the Borrower, which may be delivered via facsimile or
electronic mail; provided that, a Loan Notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other
credit facilities or any incurrence or issuance of debt or equity or the occurrence of any other transaction or identifiable event
or condition, in which case such notice may be revoked, subject to Section 3.05, by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any Loan Notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion
to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested
date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion or continuation of (i) Initial Term Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) Incremental Term Loans shall be in
a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 (or as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Incremental
Term Loan Agreement). Each Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans
from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted
or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration
of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) whether such Borrowing will consist of Initial Term Loans or Incremental Term
Loans, and if such Borrowing will consist of Incremental Term Loans, the applicable Series of Incremental Term Loans. If the Borrower
fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice delivered by 11:00 a.m. at least three Business Days prior to the requested date
of the Borrowing, it will be deemed to have specified a Eurodollar Rate Loan at an Interest Period of one month. If the Borrower
fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be converted to, or continued
as, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period
then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have
specified an Interest Period of one month.


 


(b)               
Following receipt of a Loan Notice, (i) in the case of Initial Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify,
each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Initial Term Loans and (ii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans,
each Incremental Term Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Series of Incremental Term Loans, and if no
timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable
Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. Each Lender shall make
the amount of the applicable Initial Term Loan or Incremental Term Loan, as the case may be, available to the Administrative Agent
in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified
in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of, in the case of an Incremental Term Borrowing, the applicable conditions set
forth in Section 2.17(d) (or, in the case of an Initial Term Borrowing, Section 4.01), the Administrative
Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire
transfer of such funds in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower.


 






    26


     


    

 


(c)               
Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest
Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, at the election of the Required Lenders by written
notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate
Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.


 


(d)               
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest
Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative
Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following
the public announcement of such change.


 


(e)               
After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans
as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.


 


2.03.         
[Reserved].


 


2.04.         
[Reserved].


 


2.05.         
Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily
prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the
date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; and (ii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount of such Class of Loans then outstanding (or such
other amount as may be provided in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement). Each such notice shall specify (x) the date
and amount of such prepayment, (y) whether such Loans are Initial Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, and, if Incremental Term
Loans, the applicable Series and (z) the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender
of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice
is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due
and payable on the date specified therein; provided that, a notice of prepayment of all or any part of the outstanding Loans
may state that such notice is conditioned upon (i) the effectiveness of other credit facilities, (ii) any incurrence or issuance
of debt or equity or (iii) the occurrence of any other transaction or other specified event or condition relating to (x) any Qualified
Project or (y) any material asset or operating segment of the Borrower, its Consolidated Subsidiaries or any Designated Joint Venture,
in which case such notice may be revoked, subject to Section 3.05, by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent
on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
Each such prepayment (1) of Initial Term Loans shall be applied to the Initial Term Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares and (2) of Incremental Term Loans shall be applied to Incremental Term Loans in such Series in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares.


 






    27


     


    

 


2.06.         
Termination or Reduction of Incremental Term Commitments.


 


The Borrower may (unless
otherwise provided in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement), upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate any unused
Incremental Term Commitments provided pursuant to the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement, or from time to time permanently
reduce any unused Incremental Term Commitments provided pursuant to the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement in an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 (or as may otherwise be provided in the respective Incremental Term Loan Agreement); provided, that
each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the unused Incremental Term Commitments of the applicable
Incremental Term Lenders provided pursuant to the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement; provided further that, a notice
of termination of any unused Incremental Term Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon (i) the effectiveness
of other credit facilities, (ii) any incurrence or issuance of debt or equity or (iii) the occurrence of any other transaction
or other specified event or condition relating to (x) any Qualified Project or (y) any material asset or operating segment of the
Borrower, its Consolidated Subsidiaries or any Designated Joint Venture, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower
(by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the applicable Incremental Term Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the unused
Incremental Term Commitments.


 


2.07.         
Repayment of Loans.


 


(a)               
The Borrower shall repay to the applicable Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans
outstanding on such date.


 


(b)               
The Borrower shall repay to the applicable Incremental Term Lenders on the applicable Maturity Date for each Class of Incremental
Term Loans the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans outstanding on such date.


 


2.08.         
Interest.


 


(a)               
Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.


 


(b)               
While any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall (i) automatically, in the case of an Event of Default under any of
Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g) or (ii) upon the request of the Required Lenders, in the case of any other Event
of Default, pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder (except for inchoate or contingent obligations
for which no claim has yet been made) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws and in no event to exceed the Maximum Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts
(including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.


 


(c)               
Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other
times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after
judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.


 






    28


     


    

 


2.09.         
Fees.


 


(a)               
The Borrower shall pay to each Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts
and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason
whatsoever.


 


(b)               
The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and
at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.


 


2.10.         
Computation of Interest and Fees.


 


All computations of
interest for Base Rate Loans based on the prime commercial lending rate of the Administrative Agent shall be made on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be
made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid
than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and
shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that
any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one
day.


 


2.11.         
Evidence of Debt.


 


The Loans made by each
Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary
course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie
evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so
record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any
amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender
and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note which shall evidence such Lender’s
Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note, and endorse thereon the date, Type
(if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.


 


2.12.         
Payments Generally.


 


(a)               
All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment
or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars
and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly
distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received
by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall
be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue to but excluding
that next succeeding Business Day.


 






    29


     


    

 


(b)               
If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the
next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.


 


(c)           
(i)               Unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by
it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding
amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent
in immediately available funds, then each of the Lenders shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion
of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in
respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the
date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.


 


(ii)              
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of
Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Loans accruing interest at the Base Rate, prior to 12:00 noon on the
date of such 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 Section 2.02
(or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the
time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by
such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative
Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable
to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping
period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such
period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute
such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower
may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.


 


A notice
of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error.


 






    30


     


    

 


(d)               
If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the
foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent
because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender,
without interest.


 


(e)               
The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any
Loan or to make any payment under Section 9.05 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its
corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make
its Loan or make its payment under Section 9.05.


 


(f)                
Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner
or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner.


 


2.13.         
Sharing of Payments.


 


(a)               
If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or
other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase from the other Lenders of the applicable Class such participations in the Loans of the applicable Class made by them
as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations,
as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment
is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded
and each other applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount
equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s
required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable
by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that
any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights
of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully
as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep
records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and
will in each case notify the Lenders of the applicable Class following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases
a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests,
demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the
same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.


 


(b)               
If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 9.05, then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to
the Administrative Agent under such Section 9.05 until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. For the avoidance
of doubt, notwithstanding the application or holding pursuant to this subsection of all or a part of a payment made by the
Borrower for the account of a Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender the Borrower shall be discharged from the obligation
with respect to which such payment was made as if and to the extent such application or holding had not occurred.

2.15.         
[Reserved].


 


2.16.         
 Defaulting Lenders.


 


(a)               
Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender:


 


(i)                
Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of Required Lenders and Required Incremental
Term Lenders.


 


(ii)              
Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or
otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09 shall be applied at
such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing
by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or funded participation in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has
failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if applicable
and so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order
to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Incremental Term Commitments under
this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any final and non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment
of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations
under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section
4.01 or Section 2.17(d), as applicable, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans
of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender
until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Any payments,
prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender
irrevocably consents hereto.


 






    32


     


    

 


(iii)            
No Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.09 for any period
during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would
have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that each Defaulting
Lender’s obligation to fund Loans hereunder shall continue notwithstanding nonpayment by the Borrower of any such fees in
accordance with this Section 2.16(a)(iii)).


 


(b)               
Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer
a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in
such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion
of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary
to cause the Loans to be held by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a
Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made
by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to
the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute
a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.


 


2.17.         
Incremental Term Loans.


 


(a)               
 


 


(i)                The Borrower shall have the right from time to time during the term of this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Section 2.17, to request in writing incremental term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”)
be made under this Agreement by Incremental Term Lenders pursuant to one or more Incremental Term Loan Agreements; provided
that (i) no more than three such requests shall be permitted, and (ii) no such request shall be permitted if after giving pro forma
effect to such Incremental Term Loans the total aggregate stated principal amount of Incremental Term Loans borrowed under this
Agreement would exceed $300,000,000. Such notice to the Administrative Agent shall set forth the date on which such Incremental
Term Loans are requested to be made (which shall not be less than three (3) Business Days nor more than 90 days after the date
of such notice (which time periods may be modified or waived at the discretion of the Administrative Agent with the consent of
the Borrower)) and include the applicable completed Incremental Term Loan Agreement for such Incremental Term Loans as an attachment
thereto. In connection with any such request, the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but no consent of any Lender (other than any Lender providing an Incremental Term
Loan pursuant to such request) is required to be obtained.


 


(ii)              
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Incremental Term Loan Agreement, without the prior written
consent of the Required Lenders:


 






    33


     


    

 


(A)       the final
maturity of any requested Series of Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest Stated Maturity Date of any existing
Loans hereunder;


 


(B)        the average
life to maturity of any Series of Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the average life to maturity of the existing
Loans;


 


(C)        the terms
and provisions of each Series of Incremental Term Loans shall be identical to those of the Initial Term Loans except as otherwise
set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement;


 


(D)        each
Series of Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Initial Term Loans; and


 


(E)       
subject to clauses (A) and (B), each Series of Incremental Term Loans shall have the applicable rate and amortization, if
any, determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders.


 


(b)               
Any such Incremental Term Loans shall be made, at the option of the Borrower, by (x) one or more existing Lenders and/or
(y) one or more financial institutions that is not an existing Lender (any such Lender or financial institution referred to in
this Section 2.17(b) being called an “Incremental Term Lender”); provided that any such non-existing
Lender or financial institution (A) must be an Eligible Assignee, (B) must have an Incremental Term Loan of at least $5,000,000
unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (C) must become an Incremental Term Lender under this
Agreement by execution and delivery of an Incremental Term Loan Agreement; provided, further, that no Lender shall be required
to become an Incremental Term Lender and any Lender or financial institution approached to provide an Incremental Term Loan may
elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Loan.


 


(c)               
The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender that has agreed to provide an Incremental Term Loan pursuant to such request
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably specify to provide for the requested Incremental Term Loans.


 


(d)               
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Agreement shall become effective and no Incremental Term Loans shall
be provided under this Section 2.17 unless:


 


(i)                
the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article V (except the representations and warranties in
Sections 5.04(d) and 5.05, as to any matter which has theretofore been disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders by written
notice given to the Administrative Agent) or in any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any
time under or in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects ((provided that (i) if a
representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, then it shall be true and correct in all respects,
and (ii) the representation and warranty made in Section 5.15(a) shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date
of such Incremental Term Loan Agreement or the provision of the Incremental Term Loans (or, if such representation speaks as of
an earlier date, as of such earlier date);


 






    34


     


    

 


(ii)              
with respect to the provision of Incremental Term Loans only, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental
Term Loans, the Borrower is in compliance with Section 7.02;


 


(iii)            
with respect to the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Agreement only, the Administrative Agent shall have received
customary legal opinions, resolutions and customary closing certificates and other documentation as it shall reasonably request,
in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and


 


(iv)            
with respect to the provision of Incremental Term Loans only, the Administrative Agent shall have received a Loan Notice
in accordance with the requirements hereof (including as applicable in Section 2.02).


 


2.18.         
Extension of Maturity Date.


 


(a)               
The Borrower may, from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the applicable
Class of Lenders), request a one-year extension of the applicable Maturity Date then in effect for any Class of Loans; provided
that not more than two such extensions shall be effected for the Initial Term Loans and not more than two such extensions shall
be effected for each Series of Incremental Term Loans unless otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement.
Within 30 days of delivery to the applicable Class of Lenders of such notice, each Lender in the applicable Class shall notify
the Administrative Agent whether or not it consents to such extension (which consent may be given or withheld in such applicable
Lender’s sole and absolute discretion). Any Lender in an applicable Class not responding within the 30 day time period mentioned
in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the applicable Class of Lenders of the responses from the Lenders in such Class.


 


(b)               
As to any Class of Lenders for a Class of Loans consenting to such extension (the “Extending Lenders”),
the applicable Maturity Date shall be extended to the date which is one year after the Maturity Date then in effect, effective
as of the date the Administrative Agent has received the documents required to be delivered by Section 2.18(c)(iii) (the
“Extension Effective Date”).  The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall promptly confirm to the Lenders
in the applicable Class such extension and the Extension Effective Date.


 


(c)               
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect
to any Lender unless:


 


(i)                
on the Extension Effective Date, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no Default or
Event of Default shall occur, as a result of such extension;


 


(ii)              
on and as of the Extension Effective Date, the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article V
or in any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or
therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects both immediately before and immediately after (or, if such representation
speaks as of an earlier date, as of such earlier date) giving effect to the extension (provided that (i) if a representation and
warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, then it shall be true and correct in all respects (taking into
account such materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications), and (ii) the representation and warranty made in Section
5.15(a) shall be true and correct in all respects);


 






    35


     


    

 



 


(iii)              the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) copies of corporate resolutions
certified by a Responsible Officer of the General Partner, on behalf of the Borrower, or such other evidence as may be
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, demonstrating that the Borrower’s incurrence of indebtedness hereunder with a
Maturity Date as extended pursuant to this Section has been duly authorized and approved and (B) a certificate signed by a
Responsible Officer of the General Partner, on behalf of the Borrower dated as of the Extension Effective Date certifying
that (1) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties of the
Borrower contained in Article V or in any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any
time under or in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects both immediately before
and immediately after (or, if such representation speaks as of an earlier date, as of such earlier date) giving effect to the
extension (provided that (i) if a representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, then it
shall be true and correct in all respects (taking into account such materiality or Material Adverse Effect
qualifications), and (ii) the representation and warranty made in Section 5.15(a) shall be true and correct in all
respects) and (2) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such extension no Event of Default exists or will
exist; and


 


(iv)             
The Borrower shall pay any Class of Loans outstanding on the applicable Maturity Date (prior to giving effect to any extension)
as to any non-Extending Lenders (the “Non-Extending Lenders”) (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant
to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Loans ratable with any revised and new Pro Rata Shares of all
the Lenders in the applicable Class effective as of the Extension Effective Date.


 


(d)               
The Borrower shall have the right to replace each Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 10.16.


 


(e)               
This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.07 or 10.01 to the contrary.


 


ARTICLE
III



taxes, yield protection and illegality


 


3.01.         
Taxes.


 


(a)               
FATCA. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Law” includes FATCA.


 


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


 






    36


     


    

 


(c)               
Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.


 


(d)               
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within twenty (20) days after receipt
by the Borrower of 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 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient and 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; provided that
the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify a Recipient pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) for any Indemnified Taxes unless
such Recipient notifies the Borrower of the indemnification claim for such Indemnified Taxes no later than 365 days after the earlier
of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon the Recipient for payment of such Indemnified
Taxes and (ii) the date on which such Recipient has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative
Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, accompanied by the calculations by which such determination was made by such
Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(e)               
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental
Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


 


(f)                
Status of Lenders. Any Lender (which solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(f) shall include the Administrative
Agent) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not
such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set
forth in Sections 3.01(f)(A), (B) and (D) below) otherwise required as a result of a Change in Law, 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.


 


Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing,


 






    37


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(ii)              
properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;


 


(iii)            
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is neither
a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, nor a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) properly completed and executed originals
of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS W-8BEN-E, as applicable;


 


(iv)             
properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8EXP claiming an exemption from withholding Tax; or


 


(v)               
to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY,
accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2
or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided
that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the
portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4
on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


 






    38


     


    

 


(C)             
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction
in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable
Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and


 


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


 


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


 


(g)               
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 (including any application thereof to another amount owed to the refunding Governmental Authority)
as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant
to this Section 3.01), 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 3.01 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 party will make such payment to the relevant indemnifying party within ten (10) days
after the party has determined that it owes amounts to the indemnifying party pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection
(g). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount
paid over pursuant to this subsection (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this subsection (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to
an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (g) 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving
rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection (g) 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.


 






    39


     


    

 


(h)               
Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within
ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the
Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of
the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section
10.07(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in
each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative
Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any
and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the
Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (h). The agreements
in this subsection (h) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent.


 


(i)                
Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement
of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.


 


3.02.         
Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority
has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans,
or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate
Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from
such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender
to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each
Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in
the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.


 


3.03.         
Inability to Determine Rates.


 


(a)               
In connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, if for any reason
(i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar
deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period
of such Loan or (ii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error) that the Eurodollar Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans
during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and each Lender of
the applicable Class. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders of the applicable Class to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent
of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into
a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.


 






    40


     


    

 


(b)               
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the Administrative Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative
Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that the Borrower or the Required Lenders (as applicable)
have determined, that:


 


(i)                
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period, because
the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or


 


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


 


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


 


then, reasonably promptly after
such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurodollar Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any
mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or
then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any
such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on
the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower
unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that
such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.


 


If no LIBOR Successor Rate has
been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as
applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of
the Lenders of the applicable Class to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected
Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing
of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods)
or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount
specified therein.


 






    41


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything else herein,
any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero (0) for
purposes of this Credit Agreement.


 


3.04.         
Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.


 


(a)               
If any Change in Law shall:


 


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


 


(ii)              
subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal,
letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
or


 


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


 


and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest
on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then,
upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.


 


(b)               
If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or compliance by such Lender (or
its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling
such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect
to capital adequacy or liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such
Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts
as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.


 


(c)               
A certificate of a Lender or such other Recipient setting forth the Change in Law giving rise to a claim for compensation
under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender such other Recipient or
any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (including
an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined) and delivered to the Borrower,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.


 






    42


     


    

 


(d)               
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute
a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate
a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior
to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and
of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof).


 


3.05.         
Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower
shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result
of:


 


(a)               
any continuation, conversion, payment of principal or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other
than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or
otherwise);


 


(b)               
any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue
or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower (even if permitted to revoke
such notice); or


 


(c)               
any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of
a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.16;


 


including any loss or expense arising from
the liquidation or redeployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan (excluding loss of anticipated profits) or from fees
payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative
fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.


 


For purposes of calculating
amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded
each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London
interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in
fact so funded.


 


3.06.         
Mitigation Obligations; Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use
reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation
or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be,
in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
with any such designation or assignment.


 


3.07.         
Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming
compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (including,
if requested by the Borrower, an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined)
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use
any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.


 






    43


     


    

 


3.08.         
Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of this Agreement
and repayment of all Obligations hereunder.

representations and warranties


 


The Borrower represents
and warrants to the Lenders, as of the Closing Date and thereafter as of any other date agreed to by the Borrower, that:


 


5.01.         
Corporate Existence and Power. The Borrower is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its formation, and has all organizational powers and all material Authorizations required to carry on its business
as now conducted.


 


5.02.

or any of its Subsidiaries that is not permitted hereunder.


 


5.03.         
Binding Effect. Each Loan Document to which the Borrower is party constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower,
and each Note, when executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute a valid and binding obligation of
the Borrower, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights.


 


5.04.         
Financial Information.


 


(a)               
The balance sheet of the Borrower as of December 31, 2018 and the related statements of operations, equity and cash flows
for the fiscal year then ended, have been reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, independent certified public accountants for the
Borrower, and are set forth in the Borrower’s 2018 Form 10-K, a copy of which has been made available to each of the Lenders.
Such financial statements (i) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash
flows of the Borrower as of such dates and for such periods in conformity with GAAP and (ii) show, to the extent required by GAAP
and together with all footnotes to such financial statements, all material indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent,
of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments
and Debt.


 


(b)               
The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2019, and the
related unaudited consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the six months then ended, set forth in the Borrower’s
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, a copy of which has been made available to each of the Lenders, fairly present,
in conformity with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the financial statements referred to in subsection (a) of this Section,
the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results
of operations and cash flows for such six month period (subject to normal year-end adjustments).


 






    46


     


    

 


(c)               
The financial information delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) and (b) (i) fairly presents,
in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries
as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows as of such date (subject, in the case of interim statements,
to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes), and (ii) shows, to the extent required by GAAP and together with
all footnotes to such financial statements, all material indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Borrower
and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Debt.


 


(d)               
Since December 31, 2018, there has been no material adverse change in the business, financial position or results of operations
of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.


 


5.05.         
Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending against, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened against or affecting, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any Governmental Authority which would reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


5.06.         
[Reserved].


 


5.07.         
Compliance with ERISA. Each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards
of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions
of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standards
under the Pension Funding Rules, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect
of any Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to any Plan or Benefit Arrangement, which has resulted or could result in the
imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, or (iii) incurred any
liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.


 


5.08.         
Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the Borrower conducts an ongoing review of the effect
of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it
identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures
required for clean-up or closure of properties presently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to
achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit
or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction
in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat, any costs or liabilities in connection with off-site disposal
of wastes or Hazardous Substances, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related
costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the Borrower has concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including
the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


5.09.         
Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other material
tax returns which are required to have been filed by them, and have paid all taxes due and payable by them pursuant to such returns
or pursuant to any material assessment received by the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries (other than those not yet delinquent
and payable without premium or penalty, and except for those being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings,
and in each case, for which adequate reserves and provisions for taxes have been made on the books of the Borrower and each Subsidiary).
The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental
charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, and has all corporate or other organizational
powers and all material governmental authorizations required to carry on its business as now conducted, except where the absence
of any of the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act

events (whether incorporated in a budget or otherwise provided), are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results may
differ significantly and (b) no representation or warranty is made with respect to information of a general economic or general
industry nature.

Compliance with Laws. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, rules, regulations,
orders, decrees and requirements of Governmental Authorities applicable to it or to its properties (including, without limitation,
the Code), except where the necessity or fact of compliance therewith is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings

ARTICLE
IX



administrative agent


 


9.01.         
Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative
Agent to act on its behalf hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions
on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar
term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.


 


9.02.         
Rights as a Lender. The Person 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 the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,
include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative
Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.


 


9.03.         
Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:


 


(a)               
shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;


 


(b)               
shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights
and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as
directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in
its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document
or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor
Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any
Debtor Relief Law; and


 


(c)               
shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not
be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to
or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.


 






    62


     


    

 


The Administrative
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders
or the Required Incremental Term Lenders, as applicable, (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary,
or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections
10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any
Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.


 


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 or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document 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.


 


9.04.         
Reliance by Administrative Agent. 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 (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent
or otherwise authenticated 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 have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.
In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to rely on legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.


 


9.05.         
Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders
shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and each Agent-Related Person (in each case, to the extent not reimbursed
by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each
Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it, provided that such unreimbursed
Indemnified Liabilities were incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in each case in its capacity as such or against
any Agent-Related Persons acting for the Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity; provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the
extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related
Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided, further, that no action taken in accordance
with the directions of the Required Lenders or Required Incremental Term Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute
gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse
the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred
by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities
under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative
Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The obligations of the Lenders in this Section are
subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(e) and shall survive termination of this Agreement, the payment of all other
Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.


 






    63


     


    

 


9.06.         
Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through
their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 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. The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct
in the selection of such sub-agents.


 


9.07.         
Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation
with the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default exists), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the
United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States; provided that, in no event shall any successor
agent be a Defaulting Lender. If no such 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 appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided
that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment,
then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications
and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly,
until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the
same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04
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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative
Agent.


 


9.08.         
Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions
in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.


 






    64


     


    

 


9.09.         
No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers or Syndication Agent listed
on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.


 


9.10.         
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise


 


(a)               
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and
all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding;
and


 


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


 


and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender
to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative
Agent under Sections 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05.


 


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

no modifications to this Agreement except for the matters specified in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto), the
Borrower and the Incremental Term Lenders providing the Incremental Term Loans made under this Agreement pursuant to Section

Term Loan Agreement as set forth in Exhibit F attached hereto, the Administrative Agent) shall deem reasonably necessary
in connection with any such Incremental Term Loan Agreement; provided, further, that no Incremental Term Loan Agreement
shall:

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


 


Unless the

received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt
requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or

any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind
(whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of
Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the
Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or actual damages).


 






    70


     


    

 


(d)               
Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may change its address, telecopier or telephone
number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address,
telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent
has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which
notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.


 


(e)               
Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely
and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified
herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof,
as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by
such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications
with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such
recording.


 


10.03.     
No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any
such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.


 


10.04.

documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof
and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration
of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, but, in the case of attorneys’ fees, limited to Attorney Costs, and
(b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in
respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), but, in the
case of attorneys’ fees, limited to Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording,
title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and Other Taxes related thereto, and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable within ten Business
Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment
of all other Obligations.


 






    71


     


    

 


10.05.     
Indemnification; Damage Waiver.


 


(a)               
Indemnification by the Borrower. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, partners, directors, officers,
agents and advisors (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages,
claims, and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (in the case of attorneys’ fees, limited to Attorney
Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee
in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration
of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds
therefrom, or (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether
based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened
claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether
brought by the Borrower or any third party (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”),
in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, losses, damages, penalties,
claims, costs or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or that of its respective Affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, partners, representatives, advisors, or agents, (y) a claim brought by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against
an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations under the Loan Documents or (z) a claim brought by
one Indemnitee against another Indemnitee so long as such claim does not involve, or result from, an action or inaction by the
Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower (except when one of the Indemnitees was acting in its capacity or in fulfilling its role
as Administrative Agent, Arranger or any similar role under this Agreement or any other Loan Document). All amounts due under this
Section 10.05 shall be payable within ten Business Days after written demand therefor, together with backup documentation
in reasonable detail supporting such indemnity request. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge
of all the other Obligations. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01, this Section 10.05(a) shall not apply
with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent liabilities, damages, claims, costs or expenses arising from any non-Tax
claim. Each Indemnitee shall be severally obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Affiliates under this Section 10.05 to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payments of such amounts
in accordance with the terms hereof as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.


 


(b)               
Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert,
and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, 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
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument entered into or delivered pursuant hereto, the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (a) above shall be liable
for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended
recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including IntraLinks)
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for
direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or that of its respective
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, representatives, advisors, or agents) or a breach in bad faith of
such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in each case as determined by a final and nonappealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.


 






    72


     


    

 


10.06.     
Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent
or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such
set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent
of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent,
plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds
Rate from time to time in effect.


 


10.07.     
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, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (other than in connection with a transaction permitted by Section
7.05(iv)) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee
in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with
the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject
to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other
than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d)
of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.


 


(b)               
Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment
shall be subject to the following conditions:


 


(i)                
Minimum Amounts.


 


(A)             
in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at
the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined in subsection (h)
of this Section), no minimum amount need be assigned, and


 


(B)             
in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of Commitments and the
aggregate stated principal amount of the outstanding Loans at such time of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment,
determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent
or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such specified date, shall not be less than
$5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), Section
8.01(b) (solely due to the failure to satisfy the covenant contained in Section 7.02), Section 8.01(f), or Section
8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments
from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as
a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.


 






    73


     


    

 


(ii)              
Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.


 


(iii)            
Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B)
of this Section and, in addition:


 


(A)             
the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event
of Default under Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(b) (solely due to the failure to satisfy the covenant contained in
Section 7.02), Section 8.01(f), or Section 8.01(g) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment
or (2) such assignment is (x) in the case of an assignment of Initial Term Loans, to a Person that is a Lender of Initial Term
Loans, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender or (y) in the case of an assignment of Incremental
Term Loans or an Incremental Term Commitment, to a Person that is an Incremental Term Lender, an Affiliate of an Incremental Term
Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to an Incremental Term Lender; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have
consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business
Days after having received notice thereof; and


 


(B)             
the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such
assignment is (x) in the case of an assignment of Initial Term Loans or a Commitment in respect thereof, to a Person that is not
a Lender of Initial Term Loans, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender or (y) in the case
of an assignment of Incremental Term Loans or an Incremental Term Commitment, to a Person that is not an Incremental Term Lender,
an Affiliate of an Incremental Term Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to an Incremental Term Lender.


 


(iv)             
Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however,
that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any
assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.


 






    74


     


    

 


(v)               
No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender
hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause B, or (C) to a natural person.


 


(vi)             
Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein,
the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient,
upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations,
or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable
pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee
and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its
full Pro Rata Share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of
any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this subsection,
then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance
occurs.


 


Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided hereunder, and only 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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04
and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that
except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request,
the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d)
of this Section.


 


(c)               
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being
solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered
to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders,
and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant
to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.

(d)               
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries)
(each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the 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, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01(a) that directly
affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law,
each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name
and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans
or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan
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.


 


(e)               
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits
of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant, and such Participant agrees,
for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01 (including subsection 3.01(f)), and be subject to Sections
3.06 and 10.16 as though it were a Lender.


 






    76


     


    

 


(f)                
Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations
to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


 


(g)               
Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,”
and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records
in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature
or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law,
including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records
Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.


 


(h)               
As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:


 


“Eligible
Assignee” means any Person that meets the requirements to be an assignee under Section 10.07(b)(iii) and
(b)(v) (subject to such consents, if any, as may be required under Section 10.07(b)(iii)).


 


“Fund”
means any Person (other than a natural Person) that is (or will be) a bona fide debt fund or an investment vehicle that is primarily
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary
course of its business.


 


“Approved
Fund” means any Fund 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.


 


(i)                
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all
or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities
issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities, provided that unless and until such trustee actually
becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the
pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any
of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to
the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.


 






    77


     


    

 


10.08.     
Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees
and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential);
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (in which case, the Administrative
Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower in advance to the extent practicably and lawfully permitted to do so and
reasonably cooperate with any attempt by the Borrower to obtain an appropriate protective order or other protection); (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case, the Administrative
Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower in advance to the extent practicably and lawfully permitted to do so and
reasonably cooperate with any attempt by the Borrower to obtain an appropriate protective order or other protection); (d) to any
other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially
the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or
prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to
any swap or derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the
extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; or (i) to
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization (including any credit insurance provider
relating to the Borrower and its obligations). In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose, after the Closing
Date, the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers
to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration
and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Borrowings. For purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Designated Joint Venture
relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Designated Joint Venture or any of their respective businesses, other than any
such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by
the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall
be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.


 


Each of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower,
a Subsidiary, or any Designated Joint Venture, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use
of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law,
including Federal and state securities Laws.


 


10.09.     
Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any
such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether
general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such
Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall
have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or
denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness; provided that in the event that
any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the
Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment,
shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a statement
describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.
Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by
such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off
and application.


 






    78


     


    

 


10.10.     
Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid
or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable
Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that
exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal,
refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent
or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment
that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof,
and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated
term of the Obligations hereunder.


 


10.11.     
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement
by facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of manually executed counterpart hereof and shall constitute an
agreement to deliver an original executed counterpart if requested.


 


10.12.     
Integration. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT
BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan
Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor
of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each
Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against
nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.


 


10.13.     
Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan
Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution
and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent
and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall
continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation payable hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.


 


10.14.     
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable,
(a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.


 


10.15.     
[Reserved].


 






    79


     


    

 


10.16.     
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required
to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant
to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in
accordance with Section 3.06, or if any Lender suspends its obligations to make, maintain or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans
pursuant to Section 3.02 or any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or a Non-Extending Lender, or if
any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section
10.07), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.04 or Section
3.01) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:


 


(a)               
unless waived by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if
any) specified in Section 10.07(b);


 


(b)               
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section
3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the
case of all other amounts);


 


(c)               
in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required
to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;


 


(d)               
such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and


 


(e)               
in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have
consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent, or in the case of any assignment from a Lender becoming a Non-Extending
Lender, the applicable assignee shall consent to the applicable extension.


 


A Lender shall not
be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Solely for purposes of effecting
any assignment involving a Defaulting Lender under this Section 10.16 and to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, each Lender
hereby agrees that any Assignment and Acceptance done in accordance with this Section 10.16 shall be effective against a Defaulting
Lender five (5) Business Days after it has been given notice of the same, whether or not such Defaulting Lender has executed such
Assignment and Acceptance, and such Defaulting Lender shall be bound thereby as fully and effectively as if such Defaulting Lender
had personally executed, acknowledged and delivered the same.


 


10.17.     
Governing Law.


 


(a)               
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, the LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.


 


(b)               
ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR OF THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW
YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE Agent
AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. THE BORROWER,
THE ADMINISTRATIVE Agent AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING
ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE
TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.
THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE Agent AND EACH LENDER WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF
ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.


 






    80


     


    

 


10.18.     
No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services
in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document)
are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands
and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including
any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction,
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers, each is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial
advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person;
(iii) none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto,
including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Arranger has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on
other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged
in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory,
agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arranger(s) have not provided and will
not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including
any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrower has consulted its own legal,
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers with
respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.


 


10.19.     
Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL
TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN
EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY
AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND
THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE
OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.


 






    81


     


    

 


10.20.     
USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and
not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of
Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other
information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with
the Patriot Act. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all
financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower that opens an account. What this
means: when the Borrower opens an account, the relevant financial institution will ask for the business name, business address,
taxpayer identifying number and other information that will allow the financial institution to identify the Borrower, such as organizational
documents. For some businesses and organizations, the financial institution may also need to ask for identifying information and
documentation relating to certain individuals associated with the business or organization.


 


10.21.     
[Reserved].


 


10.22.     
No General Partner’s Liability for Facility. It is hereby understood and agreed that the General Partner shall
have no personal liability, as general partner or otherwise, for the payment of any amount owing or to be owing hereunder or under
any other Loan Document with respect to the Commitments or the Loans. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders agree for themselves and their respective successors and assigns that no claim arising against the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries under any Loan Document with respect to the Commitments or the Loans shall be asserted against the General
Partner (in its individual capacity), any claim arising against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Loan Document
with respect to the Commitments or the Loans shall be made only against and shall be limited to the assets of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries, and no judgment, order or execution entered in any suit, action or proceeding, whether legal or equitable, on
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents with respect to the Commitments or the Loans shall be obtained or enforced against
the General Partner (in its individual capacity) or its assets for the purpose of obtaining satisfaction and payment of the Obligations
with respect to the Commitments or the Loans or any claims arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect
to the Commitments or the Loans, any right to proceed against the General Partner individually or its respective assets being hereby
expressly waived by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for themselves and their respective successors and assigns.


 


10.23.     
Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any
Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that
any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may
be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges
and agrees to be bound by:


 


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


 


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


 






    82


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(iii)            
the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of
any EEA Resolution Authority.


 


10.24.     
Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee
or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”,
and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution
power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution
Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding
that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or
of the United States or any other state of the United States):


 


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