11.              
Counterpart Execution. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate
counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together,
shall constitute but one and the same Amendment. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or other

Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also
shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Amendment, but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall
not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment.


12.              
Effect on Loan Documents.


(a)               
The Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and each of the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance
with their respective terms and hereby are ratified and confirmed in all respects. The execution, delivery, and performance of
this Amendment shall not operate, except as expressly set forth herein, as a modification or waiver of any right, power, or remedy
of Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Except for the amendments to the Credit Agreement
expressly set forth herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
The waivers, consents and modifications set forth herein are limited to the specifics hereof (including facts or occurrences on
which the same are based), shall not apply with respect to any facts or occurrences other than those on which the same are based,
shall neither excuse any future non-compliance with the Loan Documents nor operate as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default,
shall not operate as a consent to any further waiver, consent or amendment or other matter under the Loan Documents, and shall
not be construed as an indication that any future waiver or amendment of covenants or any other provision of the Credit Agreement
will be agreed to, it being understood that the granting or denying of any waiver or amendment which may hereafter be requested
by Borrower remains in the sole and absolute discretion of Agent and Lenders. To the extent that any terms or provisions of this
Amendment conflict with those of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall
control.


(b)               
Upon and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”,
“herein”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the
other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “therein”, “thereof”
or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified and
amended hereby.


(c)               
To the extent that any of the terms and conditions in any of the Loan Documents shall contradict or be in conflict with any of
the terms or conditions of the Credit Agreement, after giving effect to this Amendment, such terms and conditions are hereby deemed
modified or amended accordingly to reflect the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as modified or amended hereby.


(d)               
This Amendment is a Loan Document.

(e)               
Unless the context of this Amendment clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to
the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or”
has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”. The words “hereof,”
“herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Amendment refer to this Amendment
as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Amendment. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references
herein are to this Amendment unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Amendment to any agreement, instrument, or document
shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders,
and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions,
modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset”
and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible
assets and properties. The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and
effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties. Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document
to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations shall mean (a) the payment
or repayment in full in immediately available funds of (i) the principal amount of, and interest accrued and unpaid with
respect to, all outstanding Loans, together with the payment of the Applicable Prepayment Premium, (ii) all costs, expenses,
or indemnities payable pursuant to Section 10.02 or Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement that have accrued and
are unpaid regardless of whether demand has been made therefor, and (iii) all fees or charges that have accrued hereunder
or under any other Loan Document and are unpaid, (b) the receipt by Collateral Agent of cash collateral in order to secure
any other contingent Obligations for which a claim or demand for payment has been made on or prior to such time or in respect
of matters or circumstances known to an Agent or a Lender at such time that are reasonably expected to result in any loss, cost,
damage, or expense (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), such cash collateral to be in such amount as Agents reasonably
determine is appropriate to secure such contingent Obligations, (c) the payment or repayment in full in immediately available
funds of all other outstanding Obligations, and (d) the termination of all of the Commitments of Lenders. Notwithstanding
anything in the Agreement to the contrary, (y) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests,
rules, guidelines, or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (z) all requests, rules, guidelines, or
directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
(or any successor or similar authority), or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities shall, in each case, be deemed
to be enacted, adopted, issued, phased in, or effective after the date of this Agreement regardless of the date enacted, adopted,
issued, phased in, or effective. Any reference herein to the Obligations shall (i) mean “Obligations” as defined in
the Credit Agreement (including any expenses, fees or interest that accrue after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding,
regardless of whether allowed or allowable in whole or in part as a claim in any such Insolvency Proceeding) and (ii) include
all or any portion thereof and any extensions, modifications, renewals, or alterations thereof, both prior and subsequent to any
Insolvency Proceeding.


13.              
Entire Agreement. This Amendment, and the terms and provisions hereof, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all prior or contemporaneous amendments or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether express or
implied, oral or written.


14.              
Integration. This Amendment, together with the other Loan Documents, incorporates all negotiations of the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof and is the final expression and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof.


15.              
Reaffirmation of Obligations. Each Loan Party hereby (a) acknowledges and reaffirms its obligations owing to Agent and each
Lender under each Loan Document to which it is a party (including, in respect of Parent, its Guaranty of the Obligations), and
(b) agrees that each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party is and shall remain in full force and effect. Each Loan Party
hereby (i) further ratifies and reaffirms the validity and enforceability of all of the Liens and security interests heretofore
granted, pursuant to and in connection with the Security Agreement or any other Loan Document to Agent, on behalf and for the benefit
of each Lender, as collateral security for the obligations under the Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms,
and (ii) acknowledges that all of such Liens and security interests, and all Collateral heretofore pledged as security for such
obligations, continue to be and remain collateral for such obligations from and after the date hereof (including, without limitation,
from after giving effect to this Amendment).






    	 	4	 



     


    

16.              
Severability. In case any provision in this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be
severable from the remainder of this Amendment and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


17.              
New Lender. As of the Amendment Effective Date, San Bernardino County Employee’s Retirement Association shall be a
party to the Credit Agreement and have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and under the other Loan Documents (in
such capacity, the “New Lender”). Each of the undersigned agrees that each reference to a “Lender”
or the “Lenders”, or “Secured Party” or the “Secured Parties” in the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall include the New Lender.

matters or circumstances known to an Agent or a Lender at such time that are reasonably expected to result in any loss, cost, damage,
or expense (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), such cash collateral to be in such amount as Agents reasonably
determine is appropriate to secure such contingent Obligations, (c) the payment or repayment in full in immediately available
funds of all other outstanding Obligations, and (d) the termination of all of the Commitments of Lenders. Notwithstanding

Term Loans.


(a)              
Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make, (i)
on the Closing Date, a Term Loanterm
loans to Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Closing
Date Term Loan Commitment (the “Closing Date
Term Loan”) and (ii) on the First Amendment Closing Date, term loans to Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s
First Amendment Term Loan Commitment (the “First Amendment Term Loan”).






    	 	-40-	 



     


    

Borrower may only request one
borrowingtwo borrowings under
the Term Loan Commitment, one of which shall be on
the Closing Date and the other of which shall be on the First Amendment
Closing Date. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject
to Section 2.11 and Section 2.12, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Term Loan shall be paid in full
no later than the Maturity Date. Each Lender’s Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action
on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment on such date.


(b)              
Borrowing Mechanics for Term Loans.


(i)                       
Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a fully executed Funding Notice no later than three (3) Business Days prior
to (A) the Closing Date orand
(B) the First Amendment Closing Date, as applicable, or, in each case, such later date as Administrative Agent may
agree. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Funding Notice for a Term Loan (other
than a First Amendment Term Loan) that is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest
Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith. Promptly upon receipt by Administrative
Agent of such Funding Notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Administrative Agent and
Lenders (A) may act without liability upon the basis of written, facsimile, or telephonic notice believed by Administrative
Agent in good faith to be from Borrower (or from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from Borrower
to Administrative Agent), (B) shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer’s authority to request
a Term Loan on behalf of Borrower until Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary, and (C) shall have no
duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Funding Notice.


(ii)                       
Each Lender shall make its Closing Date Term
Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than noon (New York time) on the Closing Date, by wire transfer of same day funds
in Dollars, at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office (as identified on Appendix B). Upon satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions precedent specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Closing
Date Term Loans available to Borrower by the close of business on the Closing Date by causing an amount of same
day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited (A) in
the case of Loans made on the Closing Date, in accordance with the provisions of the Flow of Funds Agreement or (B) after
the Closing Date, to the account of Borrower at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office or to such other account as may be
designated in writing to Administrative Agent by Borrower.


(iii)                       
Each Lender shall make its First Amendment Term Loan available to Administrative
Agent not later than noon (New York time) on the First Amendment Closing Date, by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at
Administrative Agent’s Principal Office (as identified on Appendix B). Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent
specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the First Amendment Term Loans available to Borrower by the close
of business on the First Amendment Closing Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all
such Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of Borrower at Administrative Agent’s
Principal Office or to such other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by Borrower.

Section 2.02       
[Reserved].


Section 2.03       
Protective Advances. Subject to the limitations set forth below, and whether or not an Event of Default or a Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each Agent is authorized by Borrower and Lenders, from time to time in such Agent’s
sole discretion (but such Agent shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make disbursements or advances to Borrower, which such
Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof,
(b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (c) to
pay any other amount chargeable to, or required to be paid by, Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, payments of principal, interest, fees, and reimbursable expenses (any of such Loans are
in this clause (c) referred to as “Protective Advances”). Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions
precedent set forth in Article III have not been satisfied. The interest rate on all Protective Advances shall be at the
Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans. Protective Advances shall not exceed 15% of the Term
Loan Exposure in the aggregate at any time without the prior written consent of Required Lenders. Each Protective Advance shall
be secured by the Liens in favor of Collateral Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. The Protective
Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 2.15(f).
Borrower shall pay the unpaid principal amount and all unpaid and accrued interest of each Protective Advance on the earlier of
the Maturity Date and the date that is three (3) Business Days following the date on which demand for payment is made by the applicable
Agent. The applicable Agent shall notify each Lender and Borrower in writing of each such Protective Advance, which notice shall
include a description of the purpose of such Protective Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 9.06,
each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the applicable Agent, upon such Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately
available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Protective Advance. If such funds are not
made available to the applicable Agent by such Lender, such Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender,
together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the applicable
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate.


Section 2.04       
Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.


(a)              
Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata
Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s
obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder, nor shall any Term Loan Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a
result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.






    	 	-42-	 



     


    

(b)              
Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable
Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested
on such Credit Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on
such Credit Date, and Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, but shall not be obligated to, make available
to Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative
Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together
with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary
rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Alternate
Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together
with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate
payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.04(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender
from its obligation to fulfill its Term Loan Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any
Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.


Section 2.05       
Use of Proceeds. 


(a)                           
The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be applied by Borrower (i) to consummate the Transactions
(including, without limitation, to pay the Transaction Costs), (ii) to repay the Existing Indebtedness, (iii) to pay the Closing
Date Dividend and (iv) for general corporate purposes. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any
manner that causes or could reasonably be expected to cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate
Regulation T, Regulation U, or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other
regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.


(b)              
The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the First Amendment Closing Date shall
be applied by Borrower (i) to consummate the Designated Transaction (as defined in the First Amendment), (ii) to repay the First
Amendment Existing Indebtedness, (iii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Designated Transaction (as defined in the
First Amendment) and the First Amendment, and (iv) for general corporate purposes. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension
shall be used in any manner that causes or could reasonably be expected to cause such Credit Extension or the application of such
proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U, or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.


Section 2.06      
Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.


(a)              
Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing
the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in
respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that
the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Borrower’s Obligations in
respect of any applicable Loans; provided further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s
records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.






    	 	-43-	 



     


    

(b)              
Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of Lenders and the principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest therein) of each Lender from time to time (the
“Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Loans, and each repayment or prepayment
in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each
Lender, absent manifest error; provided, that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall
not affect any Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. Borrower hereby designates the entity serving as Administrative
Agent to serve as Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section
2.06, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent such entity serves in such capacity, the entity serving as Administrative
Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”


(c)              
Notes. IfWith
respect to the Closing Date Term Loans, if so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy
to Administrative Agent) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute
and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such
Lender pursuant to Section 10.06) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly
after Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes. With
respect to the First Amendment Term Loans, if so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative
Agent) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the First Amendment Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute
and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such
Lender pursuant to Section 10.06) on the First Amendment Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the First Amendment
Closing Date, promptly after Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes.


Section 2.07      
Interest.


(a)              
Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount (inclusive of the PIK
Amount) thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:


(i)                       
if a Base Rate Loan, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.


(ii)                       
if a LIBOR Rate Loan, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.






    	 	-44-	 



     


    

For
the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.07(a) applies to the Closing Date Term Loan, the First Amendment Term Loan and each other
Loan.


(b)              
The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR
Rate Loan, shall be selected by Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice
or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice
or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying
the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.


(c)              
In connection with LIBOR Rate Loans there shall be no more than five Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the
event Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation
Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of
the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding)
will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan in the applicable
Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As
soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall
determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive, and binding upon all parties) the interest rate
that shall apply to the LIBOR Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period
and shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower and each Lender.


(d)              
Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.07(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed,
other than for Base Rate Loans which shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable, and actual days
elapsed. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable
to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such LIBOR
Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration
date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the
date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such LIBOR Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, that
if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.


(e)              
Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable in cash and in arrears on and to (i) each
Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the
extent accrued on the amount being prepaid, and (iii) at maturity, including final maturity. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing
to the contrary, if the Leverage Ratio (calculated on a pro forma basis) exceeds (i) 5.75:1.00 as of September 30, 2019 or (ii)
5.00:1.00 as of December 31, 2019, (A) an additional 2.00% of the interest on the Term Loan shall be paid-in-kind in arrears on
and to each Interest Payment Date by being added to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on such Interest Payment
Date (which amount shall be paid in cash upon any repayment or prepayment of such Term Loan, whether voluntary or involuntary,
to the extent accrued but unpaid on the amount being prepaid), and (B) the remaining portion of the interest on the Term Loan shall
be payable in cash in arrears in accordance with Section 2.07(a). On the Maturity Date, any outstanding PIK Amount shall
be due and payable without notice or demand. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that, except to the
extent expressly provided to the contrary herein, any reference to the principal balance of the Term Loan or the Obligations shall
be deemed to include the PIK Amount with respect thereto.






    	 	-45-	 



     


    

(f)               
At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the written election of Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders, Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that any portion of the Term Loan bear interest at a
rate based upon the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.


Section 2.08      
Conversion/Continuation.


(a)              
Subject to Section 2.18 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing,
Borrower shall have the option:


(i)                       
to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess
of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, that a LIBOR Rate Loan may only be converted on
the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan unless Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section
2.17 in connection with any such conversion, or


(ii)                       
upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan
equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a LIBOR Rate Loan.


(b)              
Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than noon (New York time) at least
two Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three
(3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of,
a LIBOR Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of,
any LIBOR Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination
Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.


Section 2.09      
Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, the principal
amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees
or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including any interest that accrues after the commencement of
an Insolvency Proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in whole or in part as a claim in any such Insolvency Proceeding),
payable on demand at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to
the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the
interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans); provided, that in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, upon the
expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective, such LIBOR Rate Loans
shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2.00% per annum
in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of
interest provided for in this Section 2.09 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Agent or any Lender.






    	 	-46-	 



     


    

Section 2.10      
Fees. Without duplication of any other fees set forth in this Section 2.11, Borrower agrees to pay to
Administrative Agent all fees payable by it in each Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein.


Section 2.11      
Repayments of Loans and Commitment Reductions. The principal amounts of the Term Loans shall be repaid in consecutive
quarterly installments (each, an “Installment”) in equal quarterly installments on the first day of each Fiscal
Quarter (each, an “Installment Date”), each in an amount equal to,
(i) in the case of the Closing Date Term Loans, $1,025,000 and
(ii) in the case of the First Amendment Term Loans, $287,500, in each case, commencing on October 1, 2019, with
any outstanding principal amounts due and payable on the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date and (b) the date on which
the Term Loans otherwise become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such
Installments shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan in accordance with Sections 2.13
and 2.14, as applicable, and (b) the Term Loan, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto,
shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.


Section 2.12      
Voluntary Prepayments; Call Protection.


(a)              
Voluntary Prepayments.


(i)                       
Any time and from time to time:


(A)            
with respect to Base Rate Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate
minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount (or such lesser amount outstanding), and


(B)             
with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part (together with
any amounts due pursuant to Section 2.18(c)) in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000
in excess of that amount (or such lesser amount outstanding).


(ii)                       
All such prepayments shall be made:


(A)            
upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Base Rate Loans, and






    	 	-47-	 



     


    

(B)             
upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans,


in each case given to Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (New
York time) on the date required (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such notice for Term Loans to each Lender). Upon
the giving of any such notice, unless such notice is expressly conditioned on the occurrence of another transaction, the principal
amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary
prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.14(a).


(b)              
Call Protection.


(i)                       
If all or any part of the principal balance of any Loan is paid on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date
for any reason (including, but not limited to, whether voluntary or mandatory, and whether before or after acceleration of the
Obligations or the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, but in any event (A) including any such prepayment in connection
with (I) a Change of Control, (II) an acceleration of the Obligations as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, (III)
foreclosure and sale of, or collection of, the Collateral, (IV) sale of the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, (V) the restructure,
reorganization, or compromise of the Obligations by the confirmation of a plan of reorganization or any other plan of compromise,
restructure, or arrangement in any Insolvency Proceeding, or (VI) the termination of this Agreement for any reason, and (B) excluding
any prepayment that is required to be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11 hereof, any mandatory prepayments
made pursuant to any of Sections 2.13(a) (other than Asset Sales constituting a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Loan Parties or their business lines), (b),(e), (f) or (g), Borrower shall pay to Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders entitled to a portion of such prepayment a premium as liquidated damages and compensation
for the costs of being prepared to make funds available hereunder with respect to the Loans (the “Applicable Prepayment
Premium”) equal to (1) the Make-Whole Premium on the principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, with respect to prepayments
made on or after the Closing Date but prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (2) the amount of such prepayment
multiplied by (x) three percent (3.00%), with respect to prepayments made on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date
but prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) two percent (2.00%), with respect to prepayments made on or after
the second anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) one percent (1.00%),
with respect to prepayments made on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the fourth anniversary of the
Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any Non-Consenting Lender
is replaced pursuant to Section 2.22 due to such Lender’s failure to approve a consent, waiver, or amendment extending
the termination date of any of such Lender’s Loans or the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect
to all or a portion of any principal amount of any of such Lender’s Loans, such Non-Consenting Lender, as the case maybe,
shall be entitled to receive a premium in connection with such replacement or prepayment in the amount that would have been payable
in respect of the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, under this clause (b)(i) had such Term Loans
been the subject of a voluntary prepayment at such time.

(ii)                       
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated prior
to the third anniversary of the Closing Date for any reason, including because of default, the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding
or other proceeding pursuant to any applicable debtor relief laws, sale, disposition, or encumbrance (including that by operation
of law or otherwise), the Applicable Prepayment Premium, determined as of the date of acceleration, will also be due and payable
as though said Obligations were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the
impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable
calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. The Applicable Prepayment Premium payable in accordance with
the immediately preceding sentence shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the
early termination, and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances. The Applicable Prepayment Premium shall also
be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement or the Notes evidencing the Obligations) are satisfied or released
by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by any other means. BORROWER EXPRESSLY
WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE
PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower expressly agrees that: (A) the Applicable Prepayment
Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented
by counsel, (B) the Applicable Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time
payment is made, (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and Borrower giving specific consideration in this
transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium, and (D) Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from
claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Applicable
Prepayment Premium as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Loans.


(iii)                       
On or after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, no premiums shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.12(b)
in connection with any prepayments of the Term Loans other than LIBOR funding breakage costs as required under the terms of this
Agreement.

(a)              
Asset Sales. No later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
of any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales consummated pursuant to Section 6.09(e), Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth
in Section 2.14(a) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds; provided, that so long as (i) no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such Asset Sale, (ii) Borrower has delivered Collateral
Agent prior written notice of Borrower’s intention to apply such monies (the “Reinvestment Amounts”) to
the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition or the cost of purchase or
construction of other assets useful in the business of Parent or its Subsidiaries reinvested within six months (or within nine
months following receipt thereof if a contractual commitment to reinvest is entered into within nine months following receipt thereof),
following the date of such Asset Sale, (iii) the monies are held in a Deposit Account in which Collateral Agent has a perfected
first-priority security interest, and (iv) Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, complete such replacement, purchase,
or construction within 180 days after the initial receipt of such monies, Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall have the option to
apply such monies, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000 in any Fiscal Year, to the costs of replacement of the assets
that are the subject of such sale or disposition or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business
of Borrower and its Subsidiaries unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement,
purchase, or construction being made or completed, in which case, any amounts remaining in the cash collateral account shall be
paid to Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with Section 2.14(a); provided further that, notwithstanding
the foregoing proviso, all Net Proceeds from Refranchising Activity shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.14(a).
Nothing contained in this Section 2.13(a) shall permit Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to sell or otherwise dispose
of any assets other than in accordance with Section 6.09. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any issuance
by Parent of its Capital Stock resulting in a Change of Control shall constitute an Asset Sale subject to this Section 2.13(a)
(without giving effect to the reinvestment right described herein), and Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section
2.14(a) in an amount equal to the aggregate Net Proceeds received by Parent (or any Subsidiary thereof) in connection with
any and all issuances of the Capital Stock of Parent since the Closing Date.


(b)              
Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. No later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by Parent or
any of its Subsidiaries, or Collateral Agent as loss payee, of any Net Proceeds from insurance or any condemnation, taking, or
other casualty, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds; provided, that (i) so
long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) Borrower has delivered Collateral Agent
prior written notice of Borrower’s intention to apply the Reinvestment Amounts to the costs of replacement of the properties
or assets that are the subject of such condemnation, taking, or other casualty or the cost of purchase or construction of other
assets useful in the business of Parent or its Subsidiaries reinvested within six months (or within nine months following receipt
thereof if a contractual commitment to reinvest is entered into within nine months following receipt thereof) following the date
of the receipt of such Net Proceeds, (iii) the monies are held in a Deposit Account in which Collateral Agent has a perfected
first-priority security interest, and (iv) Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, complete such replacement, purchase,
or construction within 180 days after the initial receipt of such monies, Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall have the option
to apply such monies, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $350,000 in any Fiscal Year, to the costs of replacement of the assets
that are the subject of such condemnation, taking, or other casualty or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets useful
in the business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without
such replacement, purchase, or construction being made or completed, in which case, any amounts remaining in the cash collateral
account shall be paid to Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with Section 2.14(a).


(c)              
[Reserved].

(d)              
Issuance of Debt. On the date of receipt by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds from the incurrence
of any Indebtedness of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred
pursuant to Section 6.01), Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.14(a) in an aggregate amount
equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated
therewith, in each case, paid to non-Affiliates, including reasonable legal fees and expenses.


(e)              
Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. In the event that there shall be Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year
(commencing with Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2019), Borrower shall, no later than 90 days after the end of such Fiscal Year,
prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.14(a) in an aggregate amount equal to the Applicable ECF Percentage of such Consolidated
Excess Cash Flow (the “ECF Payment Amount”); provided that, (i) solely with respect to Fiscal Year ending
December 31, 2019, Consolidated Excess Cash Flow shall be based on the period from and including the Closing Date to and including
December 31, 2019, and (ii) the aggregate amount of prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.12 during any Fiscal Year shall
reduce the ECF Payment Amount due pursuant to this Section 2.13(e) for such Fiscal Year on a dollar-for-dollar basis..


(f)               
Curative Equity. On the date of receipt by Borrower of the proceeds of any Curative Equity pursuant to Section
8.02, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal of the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.14(b) in an amount
equal to 100% of such proceeds.


(g)              
Extraordinary Receipts and Refranchising. On the date of receipt by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of (i) any
Extraordinary Receipts in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year or (ii) any proceeds attributable to any Refranchising

as applicable.


(h)              
Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) through
2.13(e), Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the calculation
of the amount of the applicable net proceeds or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow and compensation owing to Lenders under Section
2.12(b). In the event that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, Borrower shall promptly
make an additional prepayment of the Loans, and Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate
of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess.


Section 2.14      
Application of Prepayments/Reductions.


(a)              
Application of Prepayments of Term Loans. (i) Any prepayment of any Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.12
shall be applied as directed by the Lead Borrower (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof), and (ii) any
mandatory prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.13 shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of
the Term Loans pro rata based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof, in each case, until paid in
full.






    	 	-51-	 



     


    

(b)              
Waivable Mandatory Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event Borrower is
required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans, not less than
three (3) Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which Borrower is required to
make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and Administrative
Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise
such option by giving written notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to do so, or if it elects not to do so
and other Lenders elect to exercise such option, if it elects to receive its pro rata share of the portion of such Waivable Mandatory
Prepayment that such other Lenders have elected to refuse, in each case on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required
Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to
exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected,
as of such date, not to exercise such option to refuse such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and not to exercise the option to receive
its pro rata share of the portion of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment that other Lenders have elected to refuse, if any). On
the Required Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, which
amount shall be applied (i) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders
that have elected not to exercise such option to refuse such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, to prepay the Term Loans of such Lenders
(which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled Installments of principal of the Term Loan in accordance with Section 2.14(a)),
(ii) to the extent of any excess, ratably to Lenders that have elected to receive the portion of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment
that such other Lenders have elected to refuse, until paid in full (which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled Installments
of principal of the Term Loan in accordance with Section 2.14(a)), and (iii) to the extent of any excess, to Borrower
for working capital and general corporate purposes.


(c)              
At any time an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, all payments shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(g).
Nothing contained herein shall modify the provisions of Section 2.12(b) or Section 2.15(b) regarding the requirement
that all prepayments be accompanied by accrued interest and fees on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of such prepayment
and the Applicable Prepayment Premium, or any requirement otherwise contained herein to pay all other amounts as the same become
due and payable.


Section 2.15      
General Provisions Regarding Payments.


(a)              
All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees, and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in immediately available
funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff, or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative
Agent, for the account of Lenders, not later than noon (New York time) to Administrative Agent’s Account or via wire transfer
of immediately available funds to account number 210400265210667091
maintained at City National Bank, at 555 South Flower Street, 24th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90071, ABA# 122016066,
Account Name: KSF LP AGENT AC; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be
deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next Business Day.






    	 	-52-	 



     


    

(b)              
All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal
amount being repaid or prepaid, the Applicable Prepayment Premium, and all other amounts payable with respect to the principal
amount being repaid or prepaid.


(c)              
Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing,
such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together
with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent
received by Administrative Agent.


(d)              
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender
or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any LIBOR Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall
give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.


(e)              
Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period,” whenever any payment to be made hereunder
shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day,
and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees
hereunder.


(f)               
Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior
to noon (New York time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative
Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative
Agent shall give prompt notice to Borrower and each applicable Lender if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment
may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01(a). Interest shall continue
to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event
less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate determined
pursuant to Section 2.09 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.


(g)              
At any time an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, or the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated
pursuant to Section 8.01, all payments or proceeds received by any Agent hereunder or under any Collateral Document in respect
of any of the Obligations, including, but not limited, to all proceeds received by any Agent in respect of any sale, any collection
from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied in full or in part as follows:


(i)                
first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees (other than the Applicable Prepayment Premium), expense
reimbursements, indemnities, and other amounts then due and payable to the Agents until paid in full,


(ii)             
second, ratably to pay interest then due and payable in respect of Protective Advances until paid in full,






    	 	-53-	 



     


    

(iii)           
third, ratably to pay principal of Protective Advances then due and payable until paid in full,


(iv)            
fourth, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of the Applicable Prepayment Premium then due and payable to Lenders
with a Term Loan Commitment until paid in full, and


(v)              
fifth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable until paid in full.


(h)              
For purposes of Section 2.15(g) “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan
Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including
any interest that accrues after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense
reimbursements, regardless of whether the same would be or is allowed or allowable in whole or in part as a claim in any such Insolvency
Proceeding.


(i)                
In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of Section 2.15(h) and other provisions contained
in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such priority provisions in such documents shall
be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable
conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of Section 2.15(h) shall control and govern.


Section 2.16      
Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral
Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them
shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms
hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, or by the enforcement
of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the
Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees, and other
amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts
Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts
Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative
Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations
(which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller
of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts
Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, that if all or part of
such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy
or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations
shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents
to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s
lien, set-off, or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully
as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

Section 2.17      
Making or Maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans.


(a)              
Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with
respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means
do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans on the basis provided for in the definition
of Adjusted LIBOR Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice to Borrower and each Lender of such determination,
whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, LIBOR Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies
Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation
Notice given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded
by Borrower.


(b)              
Illegality or Impracticability of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined
(which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation
with Borrower and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining, or continuation of its LIBOR Rate Loans (i) has become
unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline,
or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, or order not having the force of law
even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies
occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender
in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender,” and it shall on that
day give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of such determination
(which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter, (A) the obligation of the Affected
Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the
Affected Lender, (B) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a LIBOR Rate Loan then being requested
by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue
such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (C) the Affected Lender’s obligation to
maintain its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur
of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (D) the
Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a LIBOR Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower
pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.17(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice to
Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described
above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.17(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an
Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.






    	 	-55-	 



     


    

(c)              
Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written
request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses,
and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by
it to make or carry its LIBOR Rate Loans and any loss, expense, or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation
or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason
(other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding
Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date
specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation, (ii) if any
prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its LIBOR Rate Loans occurs on any day other than the last
day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise),
or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given
by Borrower.


(d)              
Booking of LIBOR Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry, or transfer LIBOR Rate Loans at, to, or for the account
of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.


(e)              
Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section
2.17 and under Section 2.18 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant LIBOR Rate
Loans through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (a)(i) of the
definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to
the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic
office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans
in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable
under this Section 2.17 and under Section 2.18.


Section 2.18      
Increased Costs.


(a)              
Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 (which shall be controlling
with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent
manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty, or governmental rule, regulation,
or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration, or application thereof (including the introduction of
any new law, treaty, or governmental rule, regulation, or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in
each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request, or directive
issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-Governmental Authority (whether or not
having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than Indemnified
Tax, Other Tax or any Excluded Tax) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations
hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any
other amounts payable hereunder, (ii) imposes, modifies, or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental,
special, or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance, or similar requirement against assets held by, or
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans that
are reflected in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate), or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to
a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank
market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making, or maintaining
Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect
thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the
next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest
or otherwise as such Lender shall determine in its reasonable discretion) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any
such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy
to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts
owed to such Lender under this Section 2.18(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto
absent manifest error.

Section 2.19      
Taxes; Withholding, etc.


(a)              
Withholding of Taxes. All sums payable by any Loan Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall (except
to the extent required by applicable law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any
Tax, other than (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by the recipient’s net income (however denominated), franchise Taxes,
and branch profits Taxes, imposed on the recipient, in each case, (A) as a result of such recipient being organized under
the laws of, having its principal office in, or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office is located in, the jurisdiction
imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof), or (B) as the result of any present or former connection between
such recipient and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such recipient having executed, delivered,
become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under,
or engaged in any other transaction pursuant to, or enforced any, Loan Document) (Taxes described in this clause (i)(B), “Other
Connection Taxes”), (ii) in the case of a Lender, United States federal income withholding Taxes imposed on amounts
payable to or for the account of such Lender pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (x) such Lender becomes a party
hereto or acquires an interest in the Loan (other than pursuant to an assignment request by a Loan Party under Section 2.22),
or (y) such Lender changes its lending office, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the extent that, pursuant
to this Section 2.19, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately
before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (iii) Taxes
attributable to such recipient’s failure to comply with Section 2.19(d), and (iv) Taxes imposed under FATCA
(all such excluded Taxes, collectively or individually, “Excluded Taxes” and all such non-excluded Taxes, collectively
or individually, “Indemnified Taxes”). If any Loan Party or any other Person is required by applicable law
to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Loan Party
to any Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents: (1) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement
as soon as reasonably practicable after Borrower becomes aware of it, (2) Borrower shall timely pay any such Tax, (3) the
sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction,
withholding, or payment, such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date an amount equal to what it would
have received had no such deduction, withholding, or payment been required or made, and (4) within thirty days after paying
any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the applicable 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.

(b)              
Other Taxes. The Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authorities any present or future stamp or documentary,
intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance,
enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment
(other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.22) (“Other Taxes”). Within thirty days after paying
any such Other Taxes, each Loan Party shall deliver to 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.


(c)              
Tax Indemnification. The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold each Agent and Lender
harmless from and against all Indemnified Taxes and (without duplication) Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Indemnified
Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.19) paid by such Person, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Such indemnification
shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which any Agent or Lender makes written demand therefor specifying in reasonable
detail the nature and amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.


(d)              
Evidence of Exemption From or Reduction of U.S. Withholding Tax.


(i)                       
Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to a Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Loan Party
or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by a Loan Party 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 a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent as will enable a Loan Party 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 paragraphs (ii), (iv) and (v) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense
or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)                       
Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue
Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent
(for transmission to Borrower upon Borrower’s written request), on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender
listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder, and
at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Administrative Agent (in its reasonable exercise of its discretion)
or upon the reasonable request of a Loan Party, (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (with
appropriate attachments), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), as applicable, properly completed and duly executed
by such Lender to establish that such Lender is not subject to, or is subject to a reduced rate of, deduction or withholding of
United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts payable
under any of the Loan Documents, and (ii) if such Lender is claiming exemption from United States federal income tax under
Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status, properly completed and duly
executed by such Lender. Each Lender required to deliver any forms or certificates with respect to United States federal income
tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.19(d) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by
such Lender of such forms or certificates, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms or certificates
obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent (for transmission to Borrower)
two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments thereto), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E,
or W-8ECI, as applicable, and, if applicable, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status (or any successor forms), as the case may
be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, or promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability
to deliver any such forms or certificates. Notwithstanding the above, a Non-US Lender shall not be required to deliver any form
pursuant to this Section 2.19(d)(ii) that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver.


(iii)                       
Any Non-US Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Non-US Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent),
executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United
States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable
law to permit a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.






    	 	-59-	 



     


    

(iv)                       
If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by a Loan Party or Administrative Agent
such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue
Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by a Loan Party or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the
Loan Party and 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 Section 2.19(d)(iv), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other form of documentation pursuant to this Section
2.19(d)(iv) that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver.


(v)                       
Each Lender that is a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue
Code) for United States federal income tax purposes shall deliver to Administrative Agent (for transmission to Borrower), on or
prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each such Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior
to the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Administrative
Agent (in its reasonable exercise of its discretion) or upon the reasonable request of a Loan Party, two original copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender to establish that such
Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding taxes with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest,
fees, or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents.


(e)              
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.19 (including by the payment
of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified
party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest
or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the
indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would
place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax
subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification
payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any
indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential)
to the indemnifying party or any other Person.






    	 	-60-	 



     


    

(f)               
Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.19 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.


(g)              
For purposes of this Section 2.19, “applicable law” shall include FATCA.


Section 2.20      
Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender
responsible for administering its Loans, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a
condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under
Section 2.17, 2.18, or 2.19, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender
and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund, or maintain its Credit
Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender or (b) take such other measures as such Lender
may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease
to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
2.18, or 2.19 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making,
funding, or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be,
would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, that such Lender will not be
obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.20 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses
incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such
expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting
such amount) submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


Section 2.21      
Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender
violates any provision of Section 9.05(c), or, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority,
defaults (in each case, a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”)
any Term Loan (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters
(including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, and (b) to the extent permitted
by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess, if any, with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced
to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans shall, if Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such
voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Term Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Term Loans outstanding
and the outstanding Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender were zero and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall,
if Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Term Loans of other Lenders
(but not to the Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting
Lender, it being understood and agreed that Borrower shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the
Term Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b).
No Term Loan Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Section 2.21, performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused
or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.21. The rights and remedies
against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.21 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Borrower may have
against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against
such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default or violation of Section 9.05(c).






    	 	-61-	 



     


    

Section 2.22      
Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Borrower that such Lender is
an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19, or 2.20,
(ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such
payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after
Borrower’s request for such withdrawal, (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default
Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default
as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Borrower’s request that it cure such
default, or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver, or consent with respect to
any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.05(b), the consent of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders
shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”)
whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender,
or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Administrative Agent may (which, in the case of an Increased
Cost Lender, only after receiving written request from Borrower to remove such Increased Cost Lender), by giving written notice
to Borrower and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender
hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees
(each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06, and Terminated Lender
shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, that (A) on the date of such assignment,
the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (1) an amount equal to the principal
of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, together with, in the case of a Non-Consenting
Lender, the Applicable Prepayment Premium with respect thereto (as if such Loans had been prepaid to such Non-Consenting Lender
pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof) and (2) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to
such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.10, (B) on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts
payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19, and (C) in the event such Terminated Lender
is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of
which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and
the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender”
for purposes hereof; provided, that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as
to such Terminated Lender.


Section 2.23      
Joint and Several Liability of Borrower.






    	 	-62-	 



     


    

(a)              
Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of
the financial accommodations to be provided by Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly
and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrower to accept joint and several liability
for the Obligations.


(b)              
Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as
a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations
(including any Obligations arising under this Section 2.23), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations
shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. Accordingly, each Borrower
hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses that would otherwise be available to such Borrower under applicable law.


(c)              
If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when
due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, or otherwise, or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof,
then in each such event the other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligations until such time
as all of the Obligations are paid in full, and without the need for demand, protest, or any other notice or formality.


(d)              
The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.23 constitute the absolute and unconditional,
full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective
of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement (other than this Section 2.23(d)) or any
other circumstances whatsoever.






    	 	-63-	 



     


    

(e)              
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower
hereby waives presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of acceptance of its joint and several
liability, notice of any portion of the Term Loans issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any
Default, Event of Default, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Agreement,
notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Obligations or other financial accommodations or of any demand
for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Administrative Agent or Lenders under
or in respect of any of the Obligations, any right to proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person, to proceed against
or exhaust any security held from any other Borrower or any other Person, to protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest
or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any other Borrower, any other Person, or
any collateral, to pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent or any Lender’s power whatsoever, any requirement of diligence
or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of
every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), any right to assert against Administrative
Agent or any Lender, any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which each Borrower may now or at any time
hereafter have against any other Borrower or any other party liable to Administrative Agent or any Lender, any defense, set-off,
counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency,
validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor, and any right or defense arising by reason of any claim
or defense based upon an election of remedies by Administrative Agent or any Lender including any defense based upon an impairment
or elimination of such Borrower’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Borrower against
any other Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any
extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations,
the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Administrative Agent or Lenders
at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition
or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Administrative Agent or Lenders in respect of any of
the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security
for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of Administrative
Agent or any Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including any
failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations
thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.23 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving
any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.23, it being the intention of each Borrower
that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.23
shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower
under this Section 2.23 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Lender. Each
Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder
or the enforcement hereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations
as to any Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Borrower. Each Borrower waives any defense based
on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other Person, other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such
payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower or any other Person, or the validity, legality, or unenforceability
of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than
payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment. Agent may, at the election of the Required Lenders, foreclose upon any
Collateral held by Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales or other dispositions, whether or not every
aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable or otherwise fails to comply with applicable law or may exercise any other right
or remedy Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any Borrower or any other Person, or any security, in each case,
without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been
paid.






    	 	-64-	 



     


    

(f)               
Each Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the
financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk
of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders that such Borrower
has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will
continue to keep informed of Borrower’s financial condition and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment
or nonperformance of the Obligations.


(g)              
The provisions of this Section 2.23 are made for the benefit of Administrative Agent, each Lender, and their respective
successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor
may arise and without requirement on the part of Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their successors or assigns first
to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies
available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations
hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.23 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations
shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of
any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.23 will forthwith be reinstated
in effect, as though such payment had not been made.


(h)              
Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights that arise from the existence, payment, performance
or enforcement of the provisions of this Section 2.23, including rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution
or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower,
whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take
or receive from any Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or
security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid
in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to Administrative
Agent or any Lender hereunder are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any
increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the
event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any
jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be
paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall
be made to any other Borrower therefor. If any amount shall be paid to any Borrower in violation of the immediately preceding sentence,
such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative
Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured,
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable under
this Agreement thereafter arising.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower may
exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed
or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any other Borrower (the “Foreclosed Borrower”),
including after payment in full of the Obligations, if all or any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection
with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Capital Stock of such Foreclosed Borrower whether pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise.






    	 	-65-	 



     


    

(i)                
Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Obligations are secured by Real
Property (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement) located in California, Borrower shall be liable for the full amount
of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing
such Borrower’s right to proceed against any other Loan Party.  In accordance with Section 2856 of the California
Civil Code or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, each Borrower hereby waives until such time as the Obligations
have been paid in full:


(i)                       
all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or
may become available to Borrower by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899, and 3433 of the California Civil Code
or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction;


(ii)                       
all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property (as such term is defined
in the Security Agreement) located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) Administrative Agent and the Lenders may
collect from Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Loan Party, and (B)
if Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, forecloses on any Real Property (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement)
pledged by any Loan Party, (1) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold
at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may collect from the Loan Parties even if, by foreclosing on the Real Property (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement),
Administrative Agent or the Lenders have destroyed or impaired any right Borrower may have to collect from any other Loan Party,
it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Borrower may have because the
Obligations are secured by Real Property (including any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d, or 726 of the California
Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction); and


(iii)                       
all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, even though that
election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Obligations, has destroyed Borrower’s
rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Loan Party by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of
Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction or otherwise.


Section 2.24      
Lead Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lead Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact
for each Borrower, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received
prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed
Lead Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Lead Borrower (a) to provide Administrative Agent with
all notices with respect to Term Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this
Agreement and (b) to take such action as Lead Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
It is understood that the handling of the Term Loans and the Collateral of Loan Parties in a combined fashion, as more fully set
forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrower in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrower in
the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to
any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of Term Loans
and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful
performance of the integrated group. To induce Administrative Agent to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby
jointly and severally agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and hold it harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss
or claim of damage or injury, made against Administrative Agent by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from
or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Collateral of Loan Parties as herein provided, (b) Administrative Agent relying
on any instructions of Lead Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, except that Borrower will have no liability under this Section 2.24 with respect to any liability that
has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction if such liability resulted solely from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Administrative Agent.

In order to induce Agents and Lenders to enter

to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction where its assets are located and wherever necessary to carry out its

Section 4.02       
Capital Stock and Ownership. The Capital Stock of each of Parent, the Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries has been
duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2, as of

of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or other Securities convertible into, exchangeable for, or evidencing the right to subscribe
for or purchase a membership interest or other Capital Stock of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.2 correctly

after giving effect to the Transactions.


Section 4.03

and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents do not and will not (a) violate any provision
of any law or any governmental rule, or regulation applicable to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any order, judgment, or
decree of any court or other agency of government binding on Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) conflict with, result
in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of Parent or
any of its Subsidiaries, (c) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets

or non-renewal of any permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to its operations or any of its properties, (e) require

except, in the case of the preceding clauses (a), (b), (d) and (e), for any violation, conflict, breach, default, creation, imposition,
non-compliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, non-renewal, or requirement, in each case, that could not reasonably
be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.


Section 4.05       
Governmental Consents. As of the Closing Date, except to the extent the failure to obtain or make the same could
not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, the execution, delivery, and performance
by Loan Parties of the Loan Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or
by, any Governmental Authority except for filings and recordings (i) with respect to the Collateral to be made or otherwise delivered

Historical Financial Statements. The Historical Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly
present, in all material respects, the financial position, on a consolidated basis, of the Persons described in such financial
statements as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows, on a consolidated basis, of the entities
described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes
resulting from audit and normal year-end adjustments. As of the Closing Date, neither the Lead Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
has any unusual forward or long term commitment that is not reflected in the Historical Financial Statements or the notes thereto
and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, or condition (financial or
otherwise) of Parent, the Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

during the Fiscal Year in which the Closing Date takes place (the “Projections”), are based on good faith estimates
and assumptions made by the management of Parent; provided, that the Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that
actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from such Projections and that the differences
may be material; provided further, that as of the Closing Date, management of Parent believed that the Projections were
reasonable and attainable. Such Projections, as so updated, shall be believed by Parent at the time furnished to be reasonable,
shall have been prepared on a reasonable basis and in good faith by Parent, and shall have been based on assumptions believed by
Parent to be reasonable at the time made, and Parent shall not be aware of any facts or information that would lead it to believe
that such projections, as so updated, are not attainable in any material respect.


Section 4.09       
No Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2018, no event, circumstance, or change has occurred that has caused
or evidences, either in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.


Section 4.10       
Adverse Proceedings, etc.. There are no Adverse Proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, that (a) relate

Adverse Effect. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries (y) is in violation of any applicable laws that, individually or
in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (z) is subject to, or in default with
respect to, any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules, or regulations of any court or any federal, state, municipal,
or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency, or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that, individually
or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


Section 4.11       
Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 5.03, all income and other material tax returns
and reports of Parent, the Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed, and all
material taxes shown as due and payable on such tax returns have been paid when due and payable. Parent knows of no proposed tax
assessment against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to a material amount of tax which is not being actively contested
by Parent or such Subsidiary in good faith and by appropriate proceedings; provided, that such reserves or other appropriate
provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made or provided therefor.

financial statements have been delivered, its Historical Financial Statements), in each case except for assets disposed of since
the date of such financial statements in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted under Section 6.09 and
except where failure to have such good and legal title or valid leasehold interests could not reasonably be expected, individually
or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties and assets are in working order and condition,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, and except as permitted by this Agreement, all such properties and assets are free and clear of
Liens.


(b)              
Real Estate. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 4.12 contains a true, accurate, and complete list of all
Material Real Estate Assets. Except as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect, each lease or sublease to which any Loan Party is a party is in full force and effect, and Parent does
not have knowledge of any default that has occurred and is continuing thereunder, and each such agreement constitutes the legally
valid and binding obligation of each applicable Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except
as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’
rights generally or by equitable principles. Except as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect, to the knowledge of each Loan Party, (i) no other party to any such agreement is in default
of its obligations thereunder, (ii) no Loan Party (or any other party to any such agreement) has at any time delivered or received
any notice of default which remains uncured under any such lease, and (iii) as of the Closing Date, no event has occurred which,

Loan Party’s nor any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has ever been used by a Loan Party, its Subsidiaries,

Environmental Law, except such non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) to Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry, no Loan Party’s nor any of its Subsidiaries’
properties or assets has ever been designated or identified in any manner pursuant to any environmental protection statute as a
Hazardous Materials disposal site, (c) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice that a Lien arising under
any Environmental Law has attached to any revenues or to any Real Property owned or operated by a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries,
and (d) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective facilities or operations is subject to any outstanding

of any of the obligations, covenants, or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition exists which,
with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct
or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


Section 4.15       
Material Contracts. Schedule 4.15 contains a true, correct, and complete list of all the Material Contracts
(including without limitation any Franchise Agreements that are Material Contracts) in effect on the Closing Date. All such Material
Contracts, together with any additional Material Contracts notified to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.01(l),
are in full force and effect and no material defaults currently exist thereunder (other than as described in Schedule 4.15
or in such updates, or as Borrower has otherwise notified the Administrative Agent).


Section 4.16       
Governmental Regulation.


(a)              
Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005,
the Federal Power Act, or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may
limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable.


(b)              
Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled”
by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company”
as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.


Section 4.17       
Margin Stock. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities,
in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the
Loans made to such Loan Party will be used to purchase or carry any such Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose
of purchasing or carrying any such Margin Stock or for any purpose that violates, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T,
U, or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.


Section 4.18       
Employee Matters. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against Parent or any of
its Subsidiaries, or to the best knowledge of Parent and Borrower, threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations
Board and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement that is so pending
against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or to the best knowledge of Parent and Borrower, threatened against any of them, (b)
no strike or work stoppage or other labor disputes in existence or threatened involving Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, and
(c) to the best knowledge of Borrower, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees of Parent or any
of its Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of Parent and Borrower, no union organization activity that is taking place, except
(with respect to any matter specified in clause (a), (b), or (c) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as is not
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect

Section 4.19       
Employee Benefit Plans. Parent, each of its Subsidiaries, and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance
with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations
thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan
except, in each case, where failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so
qualified, and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit
Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service,
any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Parent,
any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their ERISA Affiliates, except, in each case, for a liability or liabilities that could not,
individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, no
Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former
employee of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit
liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained, or contributed to by Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their
ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for
funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the
assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is
available, the potential liability of Parent, its Subsidiaries, and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal
from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability
for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA
is zero. Parent, each of its Subsidiaries, and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515
of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of
ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.


Section 4.20

and complete listing of all registered material trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and patents, and applications therefor, as
to which Parent or one of its Subsidiaries is the owner; provided, that Borrower may amend Schedule 4.24 to

[Reserved].

entitlements, and accreditations required for such Person lawfully to own, lease, manage, or operate, or to acquire, each business
currently owned, leased, managed, or operated, or to be acquired, by such Person, which, if not obtained, could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. No condition exists or event has occurred which, in itself or with the giving of notice or lapse
of time or both, would result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or non-renewal of any such permit, license,
authorization, approval, entitlement, or accreditation, and there is no claim that any thereof is not in full force and effect,

Section 4.31       
Security Interests. The Security Agreement creates in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties,
a legal, valid, and enforceable security interest in the Collateral secured thereby. Upon the filing of the UCC-1 financing statements
described in Section 3.01(g), and the recording of any applicable intellectual property security agreements as referred
to in the Security Agreement in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, if and as

events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ

all properties used or useful in the business of Parent, the Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries and from time to time will make
or cause to be made all reasonably appropriate repairs, renewals, and replacements thereof and (b) comply at all times with the

interruption insurance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and (ii) casualty insurance, such public liability
insurance, third party property damage insurance, or such other insurance with respect to liabilities, losses, or damage in respect
of the assets, properties, and businesses of the Loan Parties as may customarily be carried or maintained under similar circumstances
by Persons of established reputation engaged in similar businesses, in each case in such amounts (giving effect to self-insurance),
with such deductibles, covering such risks, and otherwise on such terms and conditions as shall be customary for such Persons.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Loan Parties will maintain or cause to be maintained (A) flood insurance

similar insurance in place of such policies, in each case at the expense of the Loan Parties.

employees of Administrative Agent or such
Lender or any consultants, auditors, accountants, lawyers, and appraisers retained by Administrative Agent or such Lender) to
visit and inspect any of the properties of any Loan Party and any of its respective Subsidiaries (including Phase I Environmental

and Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than two (2) times during any calendar year and only one (1)
such time shall be at the Loan Parties’ expense; provided that when an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent
or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may undertake any of the actions described
in this Section 5.06 at the expense of the Loan Parties at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance
notice, without limitation as to frequency. The Loan Parties acknowledge that Administrative Agent or any Lender, after exercising

such Board (or similar governing body) need not make a determination as to fair market value with respect to any single Asset Sale
the proceeds of which are less than $2,500,000)), which consideration is received in an arm’s length transaction from a Person
other than an Affiliate of a Loan Party (provided that Asset Sales as permitted by Section 6.12(e) may be consummated with
an Affiliate of a Loan Party), (B) no less than 75% thereof shall be paid in Cash, (C) no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Asset Sale, the Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries
shall be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.08(a) and (b) as of the last day of the

GUARANTY


Section 7.01       
Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of
all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration,
demand, or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).


Section 7.02       
Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their
obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor
under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such 



    	 	-97-	 



     


    

Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution
from each of the other Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair
Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, an
amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Guarantor, to (ii) the
aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid
or distributed on or before such date by all Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair
Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate
amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance
as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of
state law; provided, that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Guarantor
for purposes of this Section 7.02, any assets or liabilities of such Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation,
reimbursement, or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets
or liabilities of such Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to any Guarantor, as of any date
of determination, an amount equal to (y) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date
by such Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 7.02), minus
(z) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Guarantors
as contributions under this Section 7.02. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the
date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Guarantor. The allocation among Guarantors of their
obligations as set forth in this Section 7.02 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Guarantor
hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.02.


Section 7.03       
Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.02, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance
of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor
by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become
due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand, or otherwise (including amounts that
would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), Guarantors will
upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal
to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such
Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy
Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed or allowable against Borrower for such
interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.


Section 7.04       
Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute,
independent, and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of
a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting
the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:






    	 	-98-	 



     


    

(a)              
this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each
Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety,


(b)              
any Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute
between Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default,


(c)              
the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and the obligations of any other
guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted
against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not
Borrower is joined in any such action or actions,


(d)              
payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify,
or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, if any Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant
to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to
pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the
extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify, or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect
of the Guaranteed Obligations,


(e)              
any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or
enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge, or termination of any Guarantor’s
liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change
the time, place, manner, or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) settle, compromise, release, or discharge,
or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement
relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations, (iii) request and accept
other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations,
(iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate, or modify, with or
without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) enforce
and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations
and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any
such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security
agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every
aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement
or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and (vi) exercise
any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents, and






    	 	-99-	 



     


    

(f)               
this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any
reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge, or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations),
including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them:
(i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining,
by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power,
or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity, or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations
or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of, or security for the payment of, the Guaranteed Obligations,
(ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment, or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions
(including provisions relating to Events of Default) hereof, any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument executed
pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance
with the terms hereof or such Loan Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security, (iii) the Guaranteed
Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect,
(iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents
or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral
for Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even
though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) any
Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization, or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Parent or
any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations, (vi) any failure to perfect
or continue perfection of a security interest in any Collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (vii) any
defenses, set-offs, or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations,
including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction,
and usury, and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any
manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.


Section 7.05       
Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require
any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor
(including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security
held from Borrower, any such other guarantor, or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of
any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any
other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever, (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority,
or any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack
of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason
of the cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations, (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be
neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal, (d) any defense based upon any
Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad
faith, (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms
hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute
of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs,
recoupments, and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence, and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure,
perfect, or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto, (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests,
notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default
hereunder, or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension, or modification of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrower, and notices of any of the matters
referred to in Section 7.04 and any right to consent to any thereof, and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived
from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties or which may conflict with the terms hereof.






    	 	-100-	 



     


    

Section 7.06       
Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly
paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right, or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may
hereafter have against Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance
by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right, or remedy arises in equity, under contract,
by statute, under common law, or otherwise and including, without limitation, (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations,
(b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right, or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter
have against Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter
held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor
shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor)
of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.02.
Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation,
reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or
voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrower
or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor,
shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrower, to all right, title, and interest any
Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor.
If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, or contribution
rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall
be held in trust for Administrative Agent, on behalf of Beneficiaries, and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of Beneficiaries, to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured,
in accordance with the terms hereof.


Section 7.07       
Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor
is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by such
Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent, on behalf of
Beneficiaries, and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Beneficiaries, to be credited and applied
against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing, or limiting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor
under any other provision hereof.






    	 	-101-	 



     


    

Section 7.08       
Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty
as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.


Section 7.09       
Authority of Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers
of any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors, or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.


Section 7.10       
Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made to Borrower or continued from time to time without
notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such
grant or continuation is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with
any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate
means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrower and its ability
to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed
of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact, or thing relating
to the business, operations, or conditions of Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.


Section 7.11       
Bankruptcy, etc.


(a)              
So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative
Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Required Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy,
reorganization, or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder
shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended, or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or
involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation, or arrangement of Borrower or any
other Guarantor or by any defense which Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree, or decision of
any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.






    	 	-102-	 



     


    

(b)              
Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after
the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would
have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included
in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which
are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve
Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, or similar person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent
in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.


(c)              
In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder
shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such
payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer, or otherwise,
and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.


Section 7.12

expressly waived by each Loan Party: (x) the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest (inclusive of the PIK Amount) on the
Loans, and (y) all other Obligations, and (3) Administrative Agent may enforce any and all Liens and security interests
created pursuant to Collateral Documents.


Section 8.02       
Curative Equity.


(a)              
Subject to the limitations set forth in clause (f) below, Borrower may cure (and shall be deemed to have
cured) an Event of Default arising out of a breach of any of the financial covenants set forth in clause (a) or (b)
of Section 6.08 (the “Specified Financial Covenants”) if Borrower receives the cash proceeds of an investment
of Curative Equity from Permitted Holders within 10 Business Days after the date that is the earlier to occur of (i) the date
on which the Compliance Certificate is delivered to Administrative Agent in respect of the fiscal quarter with respect to which
any such breach occurred, and (ii) the date on which the Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered to Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 5.01(d) in respect of the fiscal quarter with respect to which any such breach occurred; provided,
that Borrower’s right to so cure an Event of Default shall be contingent on their timely delivery of such Compliance Certificate
as required under Section 5.01(d). Upon the receipt of Curative Equity pursuant to this Section 8.02 and inclusion
of such Curative Equity in the calculation of the Specified Financial Covenants as deemed Consolidated EBITDA for any fiscal quarter
pursuant to this Section 8.02, then no Event of Default solely with respect to determining compliance with the Specified
Financial Covenants for such fiscal quarter shall be deemed to have occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, no Event of Default arising
out of a breach of any of the financial covenants set forth in clause (c) of Section 6.08 may be cured pursuant to
this Section 8.02.






    	 	-106-	 



     


    

(b)              
Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of its receipt of any proceeds of Curative Equity (and shall immediately
apply the same to the payment of the Obligations in the manner specified in Section 2.13(f)).


(c)              
Any investment of Curative Equity shall be in immediately available funds and, subject to the limitations set forth in clause (f)
below, shall be in an amount equal to the amount required to cause Borrower to be in compliance with all of the Specified Financial
Covenants as at the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, calculated for such purpose as if such amount of Curative
Equity were additional Consolidated EBITDA of Borrower (and there shall be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with the proceeds
of any Curative Equity for determining compliance with the Leverage Ratio financial covenant) as at such date.


(d)              
Contemporaneously with the receipt and application of Curative Equity, Borrower shall tender an updated Compliance Certificate
that shall (i) include evidence of its receipt of Curative Equity proceeds and (ii) set forth a calculation of the financial
results and balance sheet of Borrower as at such fiscal quarter end (including for such purposes the proceeds of such Curative
Equity (broken out separately) as deemed Consolidated EBITDA as if received on such date), which shall confirm that on a pro forma
basis after taking into account the receipt of the Curative Equity proceeds, Borrower would have been in compliance with the Specified
Financial Covenants as of such date.


(e)              
Upon delivery of an updated Compliance Certificate conforming to the requirements of this Section 8.02, any Event
of Default that occurred and is continuing as a result of a breach of any of the Specified Financial Covenants shall be deemed
cured with no further action required by the Required Lenders. Prior to the date of the delivery of an updated Compliance Certificate
conforming to the requirements of this Section, any Event of Default that has occurred as a result of a breach of any of the Specified
Financial Covenants shall be deemed to be continuing. In the event Borrower does not cure all financial covenant violations as
provided in this Section 8.02, the existing Event(s) of Default shall continue unless waived in writing by the Required
Lenders in accordance herewith.


(f)               
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s rights under this Section 8.02 may (i) be exercised not more
than four times during the term of this Agreement and (ii) not be exercised more than twice during any four consecutive quarter
period. Any amount of Curative Equity that is in excess of the amount sufficient to cause Borrower to be in compliance with all
of the Specified Financial Covenants as at such date shall not constitute Curative Equity. Curative Equity shall be disregarded
for purposes of determining Consolidated EBITDA for any pricing, financial covenant-based condition, or any baskets with respect
to the covenants contained in this Agreement, and there shall be no pro forma or other reduction in Indebtedness (via cash netting
or otherwise) with the proceeds of any Curative Equity for purposes of determining compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants
or for determining any pricing, financial covenant-based conditions, or baskets with respect to the covenants contained in this
Agreement, in each case in the quarter in which such Curative Equity is used.


(g)              
To the extent that Curative Equity is received and included in the calculation of the Specified Financial Covenants as deemed
Consolidated EBITDA for any fiscal quarter pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Curative Equity shall be deemed to be Consolidated
EBITDA for purposes of determining compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants for subsequent periods that include such fiscal
quarter.

Section 9.03       
General Immunity.


(a)              
No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, or sufficiency hereof or any other Loan Document or for any representations,
warranties, recitals, or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other
statements, instruments, reports, or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to Lenders or by or on
behalf of any Loan Party to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby
or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations,
nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions,
covenants, or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence
or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained

to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent

non-appealable order. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to
take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion, or authority
vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Required
Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.05) and, upon receipt of such
instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so
instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion, or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without
prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon any communication, instrument, or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys
(who may be attorneys for Parent and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts, and other professional advisors selected by it, and

Notice of Default. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default, except with respect to Events of Default in the payment of principal, interest, and fees required to be paid
to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, unless such Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Loan
Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice
of default.” Such Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Collateral Agent shall take such action with
respect to any such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII;
provided, that unless and until Collateral Agent has received any such direction, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall

its participation in the Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise
the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall,
unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent or its Affiliates may

or other business with Parent or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein and may accept

(a)              
Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs
of Parent and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make
its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Parent and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either
initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans
or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of, or the completeness
of, any information provided to Lenders.


(b)              
Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or a Joinder and funding its Term Loan on the Closing Date,
shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required
to be approved by any Agent, Required Lenders, or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date.


(c)

Funds owns or controls, or owns or controls any Person owning or controlling, any trade debt or Indebtedness of any Loan Party
other than the Obligations or any Capital Stock of any Loan Party, and (ii) covenants and agrees that from and after the Closing
Date neither such Lender nor its Affiliates and Related Funds shall purchase any trade debt or Indebtedness of any Loan Party other
than the Obligations or Capital Stock described in subclause (i) above without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and, so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower.


Section 9.06       
Right to Indemnity. EACH LENDER, IN PROPORTION TO ITS PRO RATA SHARE, SEVERALLY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY EACH AGENT, ITS




    	 	-110-	 



     


    

AFFILIATES, AND ITS RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS OF EACH AGENT (EACH, AN “INDEMNITEE
AGENT PARTY”), TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY SHALL NOT HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED BY ANY LOAN PARTY, FOR AND
AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING
COUNSEL FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS), OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED
AGAINST SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY IN EXERCISING ITS POWERS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES OR PERFORMING ITS DUTIES HEREUNDER OR UNDER
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHERWISE IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE,
CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY; PROVIDED, THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION
OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS RESULTING
FROM SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE ORDER. IF ANY INDEMNITY FURNISHED TO ANY INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY FOR ANY PURPOSE SHALL, IN THE OPINION
OF SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY, BE INSUFFICIENT OR BECOME IMPAIRED, SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY MAY CALL FOR ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY
AND CEASE, OR NOT COMMENCE, TO DO THE ACTS INDEMNIFIED AGAINST UNTIL SUCH ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY IS FURNISHED; PROVIDED, THAT
IN NO EVENT SHALL THIS SENTENCE REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO INDEMNIFY ANY INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY AGAINST ANY LIABILITY, OBLIGATION, LOSS,
DAMAGE, PENALTY, ACTION, JUDGMENT, SUIT, COST, EXPENSE, OR DISBURSEMENT IN EXCESS OF SUCH LENDER’S PRO RATA SHARE THEREOF;
PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT THIS SENTENCE SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO INDEMNIFY ANY INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY AGAINST
ANY LIABILITY, OBLIGATION, LOSS, DAMAGE, PENALTY, ACTION, JUDGMENT, SUIT, COST, EXPENSE, OR DISBURSEMENT DESCRIBED IN THE PROVISO
IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE.


Section 9.07       
Successor Administrative Agent.


(a)              
Any Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days’ (or such shorter period as shall be agreed by the Required
Lenders) prior written notice thereof to Lenders, Borrower, and the other Agent. Upon any such notice of resignation, Required
Lenders shall have the right, with Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (other
than during the existence of an Event of Default, provided that during the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders
shall give five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Borrower), to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a 



    	 	-111-	 



     


    

successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent
meeting the qualifications set forth above, as applicable, from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
that successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, all sums, Securities, and other items of Collateral held under the Collateral
Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties
of the successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the Loan Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver
to such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, such amendments to financing statements and take such
other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent, as applicable, of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent, as applicable, has accepted an appointment by the retiring Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, within 30 days after the retiring

respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.05) have
otherwise consented.


(b)              
Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have
any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all
powers, rights, and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lenders, in accordance with the
terms hereof and all powers, rights, and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent, and

or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be
entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral
sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral
payable by Collateral Agent at such sale.


Section 9.09       
Agency for Perfection. Each Agent and each Lender hereby appoints each other Agent and each other Lender as agent
and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance
with Article 9 of the UCC, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party
with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party), and each Agent and each Lender hereby
acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Agents and Lenders as
secured party. Should Administrative Agent or any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, Administrative Agent
or such Lender shall notify Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver
such Collateral to Collateral Agent or in accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions. In addition, Collateral Agent
shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents as may be necessary or required under applicable
state law or otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan Documents.
Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

Notice of Assignment. Upon its receipt and acceptance of a duly executed and completed Assignment Agreement and any
forms or certificates required by this Agreement in connection therewith, Administrative Agent shall record the information contained
in such Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to Borrower, and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment
Agreement.


(f)               
Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and
delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the applicable
Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee, (ii) it has experience
and expertise in the making of, or investing in, commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case
may be, (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary
course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act
or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.06,
the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control), and (iv) such
Lender does not own or control, or own or control any Person owning or controlling, any trade debt or Indebtedness of any Loan
Party other than the Obligations or any Capital Stock of any Loan Party (as to this clause (iv), unless such assignment was approved
by Administrative Agent and, so long as no Specified Event of Default had occurred and was continuing, Borrower).

(g)              
Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.06, as of the later (i) of
the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement or (ii) the date such assignment is recorded
in the Register: (A) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to
the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter
be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof, (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other
than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.08) and be released from its obligations hereunder
(and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, that anything contained in any of the Loan Documents
to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder
as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder),
(C) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender,
if any, and (D) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the
effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent
for cancellation, and thereupon, Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender,
to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding
Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.


(h)              
Participations.


(i)                       
Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Eligible Assignee in all or any
part of its Commitments, Loans, or in any other Obligation; provided, that any sale of any participation made to any Person
other than an Eligible Assignee shall be absolutely void ab initio. The holder of any such participation, other than an
Affiliate of Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action
hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification, or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity
of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees
thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal
amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being
understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute
a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent
of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to the assignment
or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (C) release all or substantially
all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty (in each
case, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.
Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17(c), 2.18, and 2.19
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(c);
provided, that such participant complies with Section 2.19 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that
the documentation required under Section 2.91(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). To the extent permitted
by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.04 as though it were a Lender, provided such
participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.






    	 	-122-	 



     


    

(ii)                       
In the event that any Lender sells participations in its Commitments, Loans, or in any other Obligation hereunder, such
Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name
of all participants in the Commitments, Loans, or Obligations held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon)
of the portion of such Commitments, Loans, or Obligations which are the subject of the participation (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant
Register (including the identify of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments,
loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure
is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section
5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. A Commitment, Loan, or Obligation hereunder may
be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Note shall
expressly so provide). For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have
no responsibility for maintaining the Participant Register.


(i)                
Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 10.06, any
Lender may assign, pledge, and/or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or
to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any
loan, letter of credit, or other extension of credit or financial arrangement to or for the account of such Lender or Agent or
any of its Affiliates and any agent, trustee, or representative of such Person (without the consent of, notice to, or any other
action by any other party hereto), including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided,
that no Lender or Agent, as between Borrower and such Lender or Agent, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as
a result of any such assignment and pledge; provided further, that in no event shall such Person, agent, trustee, or representative
of such Person or the applicable Federal Reserve Bank be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the
assigning Lender or Agent to take or omit to take any action hereunder.


(j)                
Assignments to Parent. No assignment shall be made to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any of their respective
Affiliates.


Section 10.07   
Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action
or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise
be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action
is taken or condition exists.






    	 	-123-	 



     


    

Section 10.08   
Survival of Representations, Warranties, and Agreements. All representations, warranties, and agreements made herein
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied
by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Loan Party set forth in Sections 2.17(c), 2.18, 2.19,
10.02, 10.03, 10.04, and 10.10 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.16,
9.03(b), and 9.06 shall survive the payment of the Loans.


Section 10.09   
No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any
power, right, or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right, or privilege or be construed
to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right, or privilege
preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, or privilege. The rights, powers, and remedies given to
each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers, and remedies
existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise,
and any delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power, or remedy or be construed
to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power, or remedy.


Section 10.10   
Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets
in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any
Loan Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such
payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to
be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy
law, any other state or federal law, common law, or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights, and remedies therefor or related thereto, be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.


Section 10.11   
Severability. In case any provision herein or obligation hereunder or any Note or other Loan Document shall be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations,
or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


Section 10.12   
Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several,
and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or
in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as
a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each
Lender shall be a separate and independent debt.

Section 10.13   
Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute
a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.


Section 10.14   
APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
(OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) THEREOF.


Section 10.15   
CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. (a) ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
HERETO OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
IN THE STATE, COUNTY, AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION
WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (I) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS,
(II) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, (III) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY
SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE LOAN PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.01, WHICH IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE LOAN PARTY IN
ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT, AND (IV) AGREES
THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST
ANY LOAN PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.


(b)       EACH
LOAN PARTY HEREBY AGREES THAT PROCESS MAY BE SERVED ON IT BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE ADDRESSES PERTAINING
TO IT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 10.01. ANY AND ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ANY OTHER NOTICE IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT,
OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IF GIVEN BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OR
BY ANY OTHER MEANS OR MAIL WHICH REQUIRES A SIGNED RECEIPT, POSTAGE PREPAID, MAILED AS PROVIDED ABOVE.


Section 10.16   
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM

RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE
OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND

THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER
IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL
COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER
IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY
REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT
AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS, OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS
RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY
THE COURT.


Section 10.17   
Confidentiality. Each Agent and Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information regarding
Parent and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by Borrower obtained by such Lender from Parent or its Subsidiaries
pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information
of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that, in any event, any Agent or Lender may make (a) disclosures
of such information to Affiliates of such Agent or Lender and to their agents, advisors, directors, and shareholders (and to other
persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present, or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise
made in accordance with this Section 10.17) who are directly involved with Loan Documents and related transactions and for
whom the applicable Agent or Lender shall be responsible for any breach of this Section by such Persons (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) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee,
transferee, or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer, or participation by any such Lender of any
Loans or any participations therein, (c) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it; provided, that prior
to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information
relating to the Loan Parties received by it from any of Agents or any Lender, (d) disclosure to any Lender’s financing
sources; provided, that prior to any disclosure, such financing source is informed of the confidential nature of the 



    	 	-126-	 



     


    

information
and instructed to keep such information confidential; provided, further, that the applicable Lender shall be responsible
for any breach of this Section by such financing sources, (e) disclosures of such information to any investors and partners
of any Lender; provided, that prior to any disclosure, such investor or partner is informed of the confidential nature of
the information and instructed to keep such information confidential; provided, further, that the applicable Lender
shall be responsible for any breach of this Section by such investors or partners, (f) disclosure required or requested in
connection with any public filings, whether pursuant to any securities laws or regulations or rules promulgated therefor (including
the Investment Company Act of 1940 or otherwise) or representative thereof or by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
(and any successor thereto) or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, that unless specifically prohibited by applicable
law or court order, each Agent and Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority
or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine
examination of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure
of such information, (g) disclosures of such information to the extent any such information becomes publicly available other than
by reason of disclosure by any Agents or Lenders, any Affiliates of the Agents or Lenders, or any officers, directors, agents,
employees, attorneys, accountants, or advisors of any Agents or Lenders or of any Affiliates of any Agents or Lenders, in breach
of this Agreement, or to the extent any such information is developed independently by any such Persons, (h) to the extent not
known by us to consist of material non-public information, and (i) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense
or to exercise rights or remedies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after the Closing Date, Administrative Agent may, at its
own expense issue news releases and publish “tombstone” advertisements and other announcements relating to this transaction
in newspapers, trade journals, and other appropriate media (which may include use of logos of one or more of the Loan Parties)
(collectively, “Trade Announcements”). No Loan Party shall issue any Trade Announcement except (y) disclosures
required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or (z) with
the prior approval of Administrative Agent.


Section 10.18   
Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to
be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest
under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding
sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder
shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which
would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition,
if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided
for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth
in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent
an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if
the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower
to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration
which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if
previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded
to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds
the Highest Lawful 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.

Section 10.19   
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery
of an original counterpart of this Agreement.


Section 10.20   
Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties
hereto and receipt by Borrower and each Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery
thereof.


Section 10.21   
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:


(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.


Section 10.22   
PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties
that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it may be required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies
each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such
Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
