in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that
used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein (it being agreed
that all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios
referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25
(previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159) (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or
Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company
or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible
debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting
Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein,

    26 


     


    

 


(b)            Changes
in GAAP. If at any time any material change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set
forth in any Loan Document, and either the Company or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light
of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such
ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company
shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement
or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before
and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.


 


1.04       Rounding.
Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate
component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed
herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).


 


1.05       Times
of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or
standard, as applicable).


 


1.06       Interest
Rates; EURIBOR Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars or Euros may be derived from an interest rate
benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative
benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease
to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated
may change. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 3.03, of any change to
the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition
Event, Section 3.03(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 3.03(d), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest
rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and
shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition
of “EURIBO Rate”, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including,
without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.03(b),
upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes pursuant to Section 3.03(c)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such
alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of,
the EURIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the euro interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.


 


ARTICLE II.


 


THE
COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS


 


2.01        Loans.
Subject only to the conditions set forth in (in the case of the drawing of Loans on the Closing Date) Section 4.02
or (in the case of the subsequent Funding Date) Section 4.03, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such
loan, a “Loan”) to the Company in Euros in up to two drawings as follows (i) one drawing may be made on
the Closing Date and (ii) an additional drawing may be made at any time on or prior to the date that is 120 days after the
Closing Date (the date of each such drawing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Closing Date), a “Funding Date”),
in an aggregate amount not


 






    27 


     


    

 


to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment. Loans borrowed under this Section 2.01
and prepaid or repaid may not be reborrowed. Loans shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.02
and Section 3.03.


 


2.02        Borrowings
and Continuations of Loans.


 


(a)            Each
Borrowing and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Company’s notice to the Administrative
Agent, which may be given by: (A) telephone or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be
confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice. Each such Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 noon three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly
by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Borrowing Officer. Each
Borrowing of or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of €10,000,000 or a whole multiple
of €1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Company
is requesting a Borrowing or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing or continuation,
as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed or continued and (iv) the
duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Company requests a Borrowing of or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period
of one month.


 


(b)            Following
receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage
of the applicable Loans. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative
Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 11:00 a.m. Central European Time, on the
Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02
and Section 4.03, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Company
in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Company on the books of JPMCB
with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to
(and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Company.


 


(c)            Notwithstanding
anything contained herein or otherwise, each Loan Notice may be revoked (or, in the alternative, modified to reduce the aggregate
amount of such requested Borrowing) by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to 3:00 p.m. New York
City time one Business Day prior to the date designated for such Borrowing in the applicable Loan Notice; provided, that
the Company shall compensate any Lender upon demand in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05 for any loss,
cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any such revocation or modification of a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing
on the applicable Funding Date.


 


(d)            The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders of any change in JPMCB’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly
following the public announcement of such change.


 


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


 






    28 


     


    

 


2.03       Voluntary
Prepayments and Reduction of Commitments.


 


(a)            Voluntary
Prepayment of Loans. The Company may, upon notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to
time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment
of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans (to the extent such conversion is required
under this Agreement); (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of €10,000,000 or
a whole multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans (to the extent such conversion
is required under this Agreement) shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount
of such prepayment and the Type(s) (to the extent a conversion to a Base Rate Loan is required under this Agreement) of Loans
to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans, and subject to Section 3.05,
any such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including
the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by written notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of
such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage). The Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall
be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
Subject to Section 2.12, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) may not be reborrowed.


 


(b)            Voluntary
Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate
Commitments or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (a) any such notice shall
be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the date of termination or
reduction (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent may determine); (b) any such partial reduction shall
be in an aggregate amount of €10,000,000 or any whole multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof and (c) any such
notice may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness
of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may, subject to Section 3.05, be revoked by the Company (by
written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments.


 


2.04        Mandatory
Prepayments and Reduction of Commitments.


 


(a)            If
(a) any Equity Securities shall be issued by the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than (i) issuances
pursuant to employee stock plans or other benefit or employee incentive arrangements issuances, (ii) issuances to the Company
or any Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) issuances in connection with (and substantially concurrently with the consummation
of) or as consideration for an acquisition (but excluding any follow-up offering and any issuances pursuant to any equity forward
contract contemplated in connection with the Acquisition) other than the Acquisition, (iv) issuances in connection with any
increase in the purchase price with respect to the Acquisition or (v) other issuances of Equity Securities the proceeds of
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries intends to use to finance the Transactions in an aggregate principal amount equal
to (I) the Transactions Excess Financing Amount minus (II) the sum of (A) the amount of any Net Cash Proceeds from
the incurrence of Indebtedness for


 






    29 


     


    

 


borrowed money that the Company has not used to reduce Commitment Letter Commitments or Commitments
or repay Loans in reliance on clause (viii) of the definition of “Excluded Indebtedness” and (B) the amount
of Net Cash Proceeds from Dispositions of property or assets that the Company has not used to reduce Commitment Letter Commitments
or Commitments or repay Loans in reliance on clause (iv) of the definition of “Asset Sale”) or (b) Indebtedness
for borrowed money (including hybrid securities and debt securities convertible to equity, but excluding (A) any Excluded
Indebtedness and (B) commitments or Term Loans under any Qualified Term Loan Facility (which shall result in a mandatory reduction
of Commitments under Section 2.04(c) below)) shall be incurred by the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries
(or any of its Foreign Subsidiaries to the extent the proceeds thereof are used to finance the Acquisition), an amount equal to
100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof actually received by the Company or any of such Subsidiaries shall be applied no later than
the second Business Day following receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(d) (or,
if such issuance or incurrence shall occur prior to the Closing Date, such Net Cash Proceeds shall reduce the Aggregate Commitments
in an equal amount on the date of receipt) on a Euro-for-Euro basis (and to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are denominated in
currencies other than Euro, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be converted to Euro at the Euro Equivalent). For the avoidance of doubt,
any Net Cash Proceeds in connection with the issuance of Equity Securities by the Company or its Domestic Subsidiaries as a result
of the entering of an equity forward transaction by or for the account of the Company or its Domestic Subsidiaries shall not be
deemed received until such time as the unrestricted Net Cash Proceeds from such issuance are received by the Company or such Domestic
Subsidiary.


 


(b)            If
on any date the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries shall actually receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale then,
unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied no later than
the second Business Day following such receipt toward the prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(d) (or,
if such receipt shall occur prior to the Closing Date, such Net Cash Proceeds shall reduce the Aggregate Commitments in an equal
amount on the date of such receipt) on a Euro-for-Euro basis (and to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are denominated in currencies
other than Euro, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be converted to Euro at the Euro Equivalent); provided, that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the
relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(d) (or,
if such Reinvestment Prepayment Date shall occur prior to the Closing Date, such Reinvestment Prepayment Amount shall reduce the
Aggregate Commitments in an equal amount on such date).


 


(c)            If
on any date the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries shall actually receive commitments in respect of any Qualified Term
Loan Facility then, the Aggregate Commitments (to the extent any then remain outstanding) shall be reduced immediately upon the
effectiveness of such commitments on a Euro-for-Euro basis (and to the extent such commitments are denominated in currencies other
than Euro, such commitments shall be converted to Euro at the Euro Equivalent) (it being understood that following the effectiveness
of such Commitment reduction and solely to the extent of the amount thereof, there shall be no duplicative prepayment of Loans
from subsequent proceeds (up to such amount) received from such Qualified Term Loan Facility pursuant to clause (c)(i) of
this Section).


 


(d)            The
amount of each principal prepayment or commitment reduction made pursuant to Section 2.04(a), Section 2.04(b) and
Section 2.04(c) shall be applied to Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or to the extent converted pursuant to this Agreement,
Base Rate Loans) as directed by the Company. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest
on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.12,
each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. Amounts
prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.04 may not be reborrowed.


 






    30 


     


    

 



 


(e)           The
Aggregate Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Availability End Date unless funded on or prior to the Availability
End Date. Additionally, any remaining Aggregate Commitments outstanding on the second Funding Date will terminate in full on the
second Funding Date after the funding of any Loans drawn by the Company hereunder on such second Funding Date.


 


2.05        Repayment
of Loans. The Company shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on the Maturity Date the aggregate
principal amount of its Loans outstanding on such date.


 


2.06        Interest.


 


(a)           Subject
to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) to the extent converted pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, each Base
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans.


 


(b)


 


(i)            If
any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.


 


(ii)           If
any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Company under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard
to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required
Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default
Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.


 


(iii)         Accrued
and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.


 


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


 


2.07        Fees.


 


(a)           Ticking
Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage,
a ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”) in an amount per annum equal to the product of the ticking fee set forth in
the definition of “Applicable Rate” and the actual daily aggregate amount of the Aggregate Commitments as in effect
from June 1, 2020 and from time to time through and including the earlier of (i) the date of termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and (ii) the Closing Date. The Ticking Fee shall be earned and shall be due and payable on the earlier of (y) the
date of termination of the Aggregate Commitments and (z) the Closing Date.


 


(b)           Funding
Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage,
a funding fee equal to 0.50% of the aggregate


 






    31


     


    

 


principal amount of the Loans funded on each Funding Date. The funding fee shall
be earned and shall be due and payable on such applicable Funding Date.


 


(c)           Duration
Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage,
a non-refundable duration fee on each of the 90th, 180th and 270th day after the Closing Date in an amount equal to the product
of (i) the applicable Duration Fee Rate and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such date.


 


(d)           Other
Fees. The Company shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts
and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason
whatsoever.


 


2.08        Computation
of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference
to the Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.
All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results
in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on
each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which
the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject
to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate
or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.


 


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


 


2.10         Payments
Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.


 


(a)            General.
All payments to be made by the Company shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Company hereunder shall be made
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative
Agent’s Office in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will
promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent
after 2:00 p.m. shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee
shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Company shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall
be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the
case may be.


 






    32


     


    

 


(b)


 


(i)            Funding
by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance
with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount.
In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then
the applicable Lender and the Company severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Company to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such
Lender, the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative
Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Company, the interest rate applicable
to the relevant Loans. If the Company and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping
period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Company the amount of such interest paid by the Company for such
period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute
such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Company shall be without prejudice to any claim the Company
may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(d)           Obligations
of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are
several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on
any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).


 






    33


     


    

 


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


 


2.11
       Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right
of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by
it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest
thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
(a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be
shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:


 


(i)            if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and


 


(ii)           the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Company pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of
a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation
in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than any assignment to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which
the provisions of this Section shall apply).


 


The Company consents
to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Company rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.


 


2.12       Defaulting
Lenders.


 


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


 


(i)            Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01.


 


(ii)           Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received
by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times
as may be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such
Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Company may request, to the funding of any Loan
in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined
by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit
account and released in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans
to the Company under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the other Lenders as a


 






    34


     


    

 


result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company
as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or
as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans
were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied
solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of
such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder.
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed
by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting
Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.


 


(iii)          Ticking
Fees. Ticking fees pursuant to Section 2.07(a) (x) shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender and (y) shall not be payable to such Defaulting Lender that remains a Defaulting Lender at the time such ticking fees
are due and payable.


 


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

TAXES,
YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY


 


3.01        Taxes.


 


(a)            Payments
Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.


 


(i)            Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes, provided that if any applicable Law shall require
the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such
Law as determined in the good faith discretion of the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of
the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(f) below.


 


(ii)            If
the Company or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States
federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make
such deductions as are


 






    35


     


    

 


determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has
received pursuant to Section 3.01(f) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount
withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding
or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after
any required withholding or the making of all required deductions with respect to Indemnified Taxes (including deductions applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent or Lender receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. During any period in which the Administrative Agent
is not a U.S. Person, the withholding, deduction and payment over of Taxes as provided in clauses (A) and (B) immediately
above shall be made by the Company or the Administrative Agent (rather than exclusively by the Administrative Agent).


 


(iii)          If
the Company or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Law other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes
from any payment, then (A) the Company or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Law, shall withhold or make such deductions
as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 3.01(f) below,
(B) the Company or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Law, shall timely pay the full amount withheld
or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding
or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after
any required withholding or the making of all required deductions with respect to Indemnified Taxes (including deductions applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent or Lender receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.


 


(b)           Payment
of Other Taxes by the Company. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Company shall timely pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.


 


(c)           Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within ten days after
demand therefor for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable
to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect
to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Company hereunder or any other Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such payment or liability
and the reasons thereof delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative
Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall, and does hereby,
indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount
which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(e) below.
Upon making such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 3.01(e) below against the applicable defaulting Lender (other than the right of set off pursuant
to the last sentence of Section 3.01(e)).


 


(d)           Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental
Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative
Agent shall deliver to the Company, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental


 






    36


     


    

 


Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.





 


(e)           Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10
days after demand therefor, (i) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only
to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting
the obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Company, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable
to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of
a Participant Register and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Company, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable
to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Company in connection with any Loan Document,
and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any
Lender by the Administrative Agent or the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (e).


 


(f)            Status
of Lenders; Tax Documentation.


 


(i)            Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times required by applicable Law or when reasonably requested
by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or
reasonably requested by the Company 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, as required by applicable Law or if reasonably requested by the Company
or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether
or not such Lender is subject to withholding or deduction of Taxes or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in Sections 3.01(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required
if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.


 


(ii)           Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing,


 


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


 


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


 






    37


     


    

 


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


 


(b)           executed
originals of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or, in either case, applicable successor form);


 


(c)           in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not
a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of
the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or, in either case, an applicable successor form), as applicable; or


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    38


     


    

 


(iii)          Each
Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent and update such form or
certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender
shall promptly (A) notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render
invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to
avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Company or the Administrative Agent make any withholding
or deduction for Taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.


 


(g)           Treatment
of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file
for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted
from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient 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 by the Company or with respect to which the Company has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01 (or benefit equivalent to a refund in the form of an offset or
prepayment of such Taxes due for future periods), it shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund or equivalent offset
or Tax prepayment (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company under this Section 3.01
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses and net of any loss or gain realized in
the conversion of such funds from or to another currency (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or equivalent offset or Tax prepayment),
provided that the Company, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient
is required to repay such refund or equivalent offset or Tax prepayment to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this subsection (g), in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Company
pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such
Recipient would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund or equivalent offset
or Tax prepayment had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax
returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.


 


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


 


3.02        Illegality.
If any Law has made it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable
Lending Office to maintain Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority
of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Euros, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through
the Administrative Agent any obligation of such Lender to continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist; provided
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, that if any such event shall occur and such notice shall be given prior to the Zero Commitment
Date, the obligation of such Lender to make Loans in accordance with this Agreement shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever,
except that the Loans made by such Lender on any Funding Date shall be made


 






    39


     


    

 


as Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Euro Amount as of such
Funding Date). Upon receipt of such notice occurring after the first Funding Date, if such Lender shall so request (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall either (at the Company’s election) with respect to any outstanding
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, prepay all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender or convert all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans
of such Lender to Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Euro amount),
either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency
Rate Loans to such day, or immediately (but without the requirement to make any payment pursuant to Section 3.05), if
such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the
Company shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.


 


3.03        Alternative
Rate of Interest.


 


(a)           If
prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:


 


(i)            the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means
do not exist for ascertaining the EURIBO Rate, as applicable (including because the EURIBO Screen Rate is not available or published
on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or


 


(ii)           the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the EURIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included
in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;


 


then the Administrative Agent shall give
notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, if any Loan Notice requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing denominated
in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Euro amount as of the applicable Funding Date). Furthermore, if
any Eurocurrency Loan in Euros is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative
Agent referred to in this Section 3.03 with respect to the EURIBO Rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, then such
Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is
not a Business Day), at the Company’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Company on such day or (B) be
converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, a Base Rate Loan
denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Euro amount) on such day (it being understood and agreed
that if the Company does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, local time, the Administrative Agent is authorized
to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan into a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars), and, in the case of such subclause
(B), following the Company’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to the aforementioned
notice no longer exist, such Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars shall, upon written request of the Company delivered to the
Administrative Agent thereafter and with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Euros (in an
amount equal to the Euro Equivalent of such Dollar amount) on the day of such request by the Company being delivered to the Administrative
Agent.

(b)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative
Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace the EURIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with
respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative
Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received,
by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement
of the EURIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.


 


(c)            In
connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments
implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other
party to this Agreement.


 


(d)            The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event,
(ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election
that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 3.03, including any determination
with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision
to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their
reasonable discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to
this Section 3.03.


 


(e)            Upon
the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, with respect to any Interest Election
Request that requests the continuation of any Borrowing as a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, such Borrowing request
shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Euros amount). Furthermore,
if any Eurocurrency Loan in Euros is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a
Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the EURIBO Rate, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the Company’s election prior to
such day: (A) be prepaid by the Company on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject
to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar
Equivalent of such Euro amount) on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the Company does not so prepay such Loan on
such day by 12:00 noon, local time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan
into a Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars), and, in the case of such subclause (B), upon any subsequent implementation of a
Benchmark Replacement in respect of Euro pursuant to this Section 3.03, such Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars
shall, upon written request of the Company delivered to the Administrative Agent thereafter and with the consent of the Administrative
Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute,
a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Euros (in an amount equal to the Euro Equivalent of such Dollar amount) on the day of such request
by the Company being delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(a)            Increased
Costs Generally. If any Change in Law, after the date on which a Lender becomes a Lender hereunder, shall:


 






    	 	41	 



     


    

 


(i)            impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated
by Section 3.04(e));


 


(ii)           subject
any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of
the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments,
or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;


 


(iii)          [Intentionally
Omitted]; or


 


(iv)          impose
on any Lender or the London interbank market any other material condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency
Rate Loans made by such Lender;


 


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


 


(b)            Capital
Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law, after the date on which a Lender becomes a Lender hereunder,
affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or
liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital
of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans
made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company
with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity requirements), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.


 


(c)            Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the
Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall any Lender make any determination
or request set forth in subsection (a) or (b) or deliver any such certificate in the event that such Lender is not generally
making such determinations or requests and delivering such certificates in the same manner in syndicated credit facilities to borrowers
of similar creditworthiness to the Company under which such Lender is a lender). The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown
as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.


 


(d)            Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Company
shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs
incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that,
if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions


 






    	 	42	 



     


    

 


is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).


 


(e)            Additional
Reserve Requirements. The Company shall pay to each Lender (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves
with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual
costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall
be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous
requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments
or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards,
if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender
(as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable
on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Company shall have received at least ten days’
prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails
to give notice ten days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable
ten days from receipt of such notice.


 


3.05       Compensation
for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall
promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any reasonable and invoiced loss, cost or expense
incurred by it (in each case together with a reasonably detailed supporting calculation) as a result of:


 


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


 


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


 


(c)            [Intentionally
Omitted]; or


 


(d)            any
assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request
by the Company pursuant to Section 10.13;


 


including any foreign exchange losses and
any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable
to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract, but excluding
any loss of profits or margin. The Company shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection
with the foregoing.


 


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


 


3.06        Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.


 






    	 	43	 



     


    

 


(a)            Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Company is required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Company such Lender shall, as
applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04,
as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and
(ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment.


 


(b)            Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 or delivers a notice under Section 3.02,
or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending
office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Company may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.


 


3.07        Survival.
All of the Company’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments,
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with,
each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender.

amendment, modification, or waiver of any term of the Acquisition Agreement or any condition to the Company’s obligation
to consummate the Acquisition thereunder or consent granted thereunder shall have been made or granted by the Company without the
prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Majority Arrangers (other
than any such amendment, modification or waiver or consent that is not materially adverse to any interest of the Arrangers or the
Lenders; it being understood that (i) any increase in the Offer Consideration (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement on
the date hereof) (other than an increase composed entirely of equity (or proceeds of equity)), (ii) any reduction in the Offer
Consideration (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement on the date hereof) of more than 10%, (iii) any reduction in the Acceptance
Threshold (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement on the date hereof) to below a simple majority of Target’s issued and
outstanding ordinary share capital (geplaatst en uitstaand gewoon kapitaal), excluding for the avoidance of doubt any Treasury
Shares (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement on the date hereof) which shall be not tendered into the Offer, as of the End of
the Acceptance Period or (iv) any waiver of the Offer Condition (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement on the date hereof)
set forth in clause 4.1.1(i) of the Acquisition Agreement (other than any such waiver that is not materially adverse to any
interest of the Arrangers or the Lenders), in each case, will require the consent of the Majority Arrangers, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).


 


(f)            The
terms of the Offer Documents shall be consistent with the description of the Offer in the Acquisition Agreement (except to the
extent any inconsistencies therewith are not materially adverse to the interests of the Arrangers or the Lenders), unless the Majority
Arrangers shall have consented to such inconsistency (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).


 


(g)            The
Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall have received all fees required to be paid on the Closing Date pursuant
to the terms hereof and the Fee Letter, and all expenses for which the Company is required to reimburse the Lenders, the Administrative

prior to the Closing Date (which amounts may be offset against the proceeds of the Loans on the Closing Date).


 


(h)            Substantially
concurrently with the initial funding of Loans on the Closing Date, (i) the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall have
accepted all outstanding equity interests that have validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and shall have tendered payment for
such equity interests in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement or (ii)(x) the Administrative Agent shall
have received an officer’s certificate from the Company certifying that the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall accept
all outstanding equity interests that have validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and shall tender payment for such equity interests
in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, in each case, within one Business Day following the Closing Date and
(y) the Company shall have caused (or, in accordance with Section 2.02(b), directed the Administrative Agent to
cause) the proceeds of the Loans to be deposited with the Settlement Agent pursuant to the terms of the Offer Documents or shall

have validly tendered pursuant to the Offer.


 


(i)            The
Effective Date shall have occurred or shall occur substantially concurrently therewith.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
to the contrary provided herein, Articles VI, VII, and VIII of this Agreement (and any remedies relating thereto) shall not become
effective until immediately after the making of the Loans on the Closing Date (it being understood that the occurrence of an event
on or prior to the making of the Loans on the Closing Date that would otherwise constitute an Event of Default may constitute an
Event of Default immediately after the making of the Loans on the Closing Date pursuant to


 






    	 	46	 



     


    

 


the terms of Article VIII, if continuing
or uncured immediately after the Closing Date, but subject to Section 4.04 hereof).


 


Without limiting the foregoing, the failure
of any representation or warranty (other than the representations specified in Section 4.02(b)) to be true and correct
at any time when made or deemed made will not constitute the failure of a condition precedent to the obligations of each Lender
to make the Loans on the Closing Date.

Administrative Agent shall have received a Request for Borrowing in accordance with the requirements hereof.


 


(b)            The
Specified Representations shall be accurate in all material respects as of such Funding Date; provided that any representation
and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall
be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects as of such date.


 


(c)            The
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company confirming, as of the Funding
Date, the satisfaction (unless waived by the Required Lenders) of the conditions specified in Section 4.03(b).

amendment, modification, or waiver of any term of the Acquisition Agreement or any condition to the Company’s obligation

prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Majority Arrangers (other
than any such amendment, modification or waiver or consent that is not materially adverse to any interest of the Arrangers or the
Lenders; it being understood that (i) any increase in the Offer Consideration (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement on
the date hereof) (other than an increase composed entirely of equity (or proceeds of equity)), (ii) any reduction in the Offer
Consideration (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement on the date hereof) of more than 10%, (iii) any reduction in the Acceptance
Threshold (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement on the date hereof) to below a simple majority of Target’s issued and
outstanding ordinary share capital (geplaatst en uitstaand gewoon kapitaal), excluding for the avoidance of doubt any Treasury
Shares (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement on the date hereof) which shall be not tendered into the Offer, as of the End of
the Acceptance Period or (iv) any waiver of the Offer Condition (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement on the date hereof)
set forth in clause 4.1.1(i) of the Acquisition Agreement (other than any such waiver that is not materially adverse to any
interest of the Arrangers or the Lenders), in each case, will require the consent of the Majority Arrangers, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).


 


(e)            The
Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall have received all fees required to be paid on such Funding Date pursuant
to the terms hereof, and all expenses for which the Company is required to reimburse the Lenders, the Administrative or the Arrangers
in accordance with the terms hereof, in each case to the extent invoiced at least three days prior to such Funding Date (which
amounts may be offset against the proceeds of the Loans on such Funding Date).


 


Without limiting the foregoing, the failure
of any representation or warranty (other than the representations specified in Section 4.03(b)) to be true and correct
at any time when made or deemed made will not


 






    	 	47	 



     


    

 


constitute the failure of a condition precedent to the obligations of each Lender
to make the Loans on the Funding Date.


 


4.04        Actions
by Lenders During the Certain Funds Period. During the Certain Funds Period and notwithstanding (i) that any representation
made on (A) the Effective Date, (B) any prior Funding Date or (C) the applicable Funding Date (excluding, in the
case of this clause (C), the Specified Representations given as a condition to such Funding Date) was incorrect, (ii) any
failure by the Company to comply with the affirmative covenants, negative covenants or financial covenants, (iii) the occurrence
of any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents, (iv) any provision to the contrary in any Loan Document or otherwise
or (v) that any condition to the occurrence of the Effective Date or any prior Funding Date may subsequently be determined
not to have been satisfied, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be entitled to:


 


(a)            cancel
any of its Commitments, except as set forth in Section 2.04 above or accelerate the maturity of or demand the repayment
of any Loan;


 


(b)            rescind,
terminate or cancel the Loan Documents or the Commitments or exercise any similar right or remedy or make or enforce any claim
under the Loan Documents it may have to the extent to do so would prevent or limit the making of Loans on a Funding Date, except
as set forth in Section 2.04 above;


 


(c)            refuse
to participate in the making of its Loans on a Funding Date unless the conditions expressly applicable to drawing thereof set forth
in Section 4.02 or Section 4.03, as applicable, have not been satisfied or waived; or


 


(d)            exercise
any right of set-off or counterclaim in respect of its Loan to the extent to do so would prevent, limit or delay the making of
its Loan on a Funding Date;


 


provided that immediately after
the expiration of the Certain Funds Period all of the rights, remedies and entitlements of the Administrative Agent and the Lender
shall be available notwithstanding that such rights, remedies and entitlements were not available prior to such time as a result
of the foregoing.

5.05        Financial
Statements; No Material Adverse Effect.


 


(a)            The

respectively, and any other filings with the SEC or BaFin from time to time, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims
or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental

of material fact or omits, when furnished, to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to management projections or
guidance or forward looking statements, the Company represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon

request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable

of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company; and


 


(b)            exercise
on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it or to the Lenders under the Loan Documents;


 


provided, however, that upon

United States, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically
become due and payable without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

ARTICLE IX.


 


ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT


 


9.01        Appointment
and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMCB to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise
such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, and (except as expressly set forth in Section 9.06) the Company shall have no rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any
other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary
or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a
matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.


 


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


 


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


 






     60


     


    

 



 


(a)            shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default exists;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation
made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of
any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument
or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.


 


9.04         Reliance
by Administrative Agent.


 


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


 






    61


     


    

 


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


 


9.06        Resignation
of Administrative Agent.


 


(a)            The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice
of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall
be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders)
(the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a
successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective
Date.


 


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


 


(c)            With
effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case
of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring
or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent
is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead
be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent
as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative
Agent and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as
of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the
same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring or
removed


 






    62


     


    

 


Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative
Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.


 


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


 


9.08         No
Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Arrangers nor any of the other agents listed
on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.


 


9.09        Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be
due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall
have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:


 


(a)            to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under Section 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and


 


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


 


and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender
to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative
Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04.


 


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

other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion,

and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party
hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company
that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance
into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection
with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents
related hereto or thereto).

notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile
or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Company or the Administrative Agent. In addition,
each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an
effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications
may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least
one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or
similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in
accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws, to make reference to Company Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information”
portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Company or its securities for
purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.


 


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


 


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


 






    67


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents against the Company shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement
shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the
benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative
Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative
Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08
(subject to the terms of Section 2.11), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing
pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Company under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided,
further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02
and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and
subject to Section 2.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies
available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.


 


10.04      Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver.


 


(a)            Costs
and Expenses. The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent, the Arrangers and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (including the Attorney Costs of the Administrative
Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution,
delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the Attorney Costs of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders)
in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.


 


(b)            Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and each other agent
or co-agent (if any) designated by the Arrangers, each Lender and its affiliates and each partner, trustee, shareholder, director,
officer, employee, advisor, representative, agent, attorney and controlling person thereof (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
from and against any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations or inquiries), claims, losses, damages,
liabilities or expenses, joint or several, of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be brought by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries,
any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person or entity and which may be incurred by or asserted against or involve the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Lender or any other Indemnitee as a result of or arising out of or in any way related
to or resulting from the Acquisition, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby
or thereby, the Transactions or any related transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any Loan or the use or proposed use of
the proceeds therefrom and, upon demand, to pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, each Lender and each other
Indemnitee for any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending
or preparing to defend any such action, suit, proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) or claim (including, without
limitation, in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein) (whether or not the Administrative
Agent, the Arrangers, any Lender or any other Indemnitee is a party to any action, suit, proceeding or claim out of which any such
expenses arise); provided that (x) the Company’s obligation to reimburse any Indemnitee for legal expenses shall
be limited to the fees, charges, and disbursements of one counsel for any Indemnitee (and, if


 






    68


     


    

 


reasonably necessary, of one regulatory
counsel and one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest
of which the Company is notified in writing, of one additional counsel (and if reasonably necessary, of one regulatory counsel
and one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) to each affected Indemnitee, (y) the Company will not have to indemnify
any Indemnitee against any claim, loss, damage, liability or expense to the extent the same resulted from (i) the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Related Parties, (ii) a material breach by such
Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties of its express obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case of
clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment
in any claim, litigation or proceeding brought by the Company) or (iii) disputes solely among or between Indemnitees not relating
to any acts or omissions by the Company or its Subsidiaries (other than disputes against the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers
(in each case, acting in its capacity as such)) and (z) each Indemnitee will repay to the Company any such reimbursement to
the extent that it is determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification by virtue of clause(y). Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Lender or any other Indemnitee will
be responsible or liable to the Company or any other person or entity for damages arising from the use by others of any information
or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems except to
the extent that such damages resulted from (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the respective Indemnitee or
any of its Related Parties or (B) a material breach by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties of its express obligations
under this Agreement (in each case, to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
judgment in any claim, litigation or proceeding brought by the Company).


 


Promptly after receipt by any Indemnitee
of notice of the commencement of any such action, suit, proceeding or claim, such Indemnitee will notify the Company in writing
of the commencement thereof; provided that the omission by any Indemnitee to so notify the Company will not relieve the
Company of any liability hereunder except to the extent the Company has been materially prejudiced by such failure. The Company
shall have the right to assume the defense or control the settlement of any such claim or action and to select counsel with respect
thereto, which counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Arrangers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), provided that the Company shall not consent to any settlement of or to the entry of any judgment with respect
to any such claim or action except in accordance with the provisions of the next succeeding paragraph. Notwithstanding the Company’s
right to appoint counsel to represent such Indemnitee in an action, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel
at the Company’s expense (subject to the limitations in the preceding paragraph) and to participate in the defense of any
such claim or action as to it with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if (i) the
use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent such Indemnitee would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict
of interest or the Arrangers reasonably determines that there are defenses available to it which are in addition to or different
from the defenses available to the Company or (ii) the Company shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to such Indemnitee
to represent such Indemnitee within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnitee shall have the right to settle any such claim or action without the consent of the
Company; provided that the Company shall have no liability for any settlement entered into without its consent.


 


The Company will not, without the subject
Indemnitee’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, settle, compromise, consent
to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may
be sought hereunder, whether or not any Indemnitee is an actual or potential party thereto, unless such settlement, compromise,
consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee from any liabilities arising out of such claim,
action or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or a
failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee.


 






    69


     


    

 


The indemnity and reimbursement obligations of the Company under this Section 10.04(b) will
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company and any
Indemnitee.


 


(c)            Reimbursement
by Lenders. To the extent that the Company for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or
(b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any
of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party,
as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including
any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such
Lenders’ Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the
case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against
any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.
The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(d).


 


(d)            Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any other Indemnitee will be responsible or
liable to the Company or any other person or entity for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages which may be alleged
as a result of this Agreement, any Loan Document or the Transactions. The Company will not be responsible to the Arrangers or any
other Indemnitee or any other person or entity for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages which may be alleged
as a result of this Agreement, any Loan Document or the Transactions; provided, that the Company’s indemnity and reimbursement
obligations under Section 10.04(b) shall not be limited by this sentence. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed
to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for
direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final
and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


(e)            Payments.
All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.


 


(f)            Survival.
The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of Section 10.02(e) shall survive the resignation
of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.


 


10.05      Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Company is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any
part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant
to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver
or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of
such recovery (unless prohibited by applicable Law), the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall
be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the


 






    70


     


    

 






Administrative
Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent,
plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Overnight Bank Funding Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations
of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination
of this Agreement.


 


10.06      Successors
and Assigns.


 


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


 


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


 


(i)            Minimum
Amounts.


 


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


 


(B)            in
any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose
includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans
of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption,
as of such Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default
exists, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however,
that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single
assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining
whether such minimum amount has been met.


 


(ii)           [Intentionally
Omitted.]


 


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


 






    	 	71	 



     


    

 


(A)           the
consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) solely with
respect to any assignment made at any time after the Zero Commitment Date, an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or
(solely with respect to the Company) (f) or (g) exists at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is
to an existing Lender or an Affiliate of an existing Lender after the Closing Date; provided that the Company shall be deemed
to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five
(5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and


 


(B)            the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment
is to any Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.


 


(iv)          Assignment
and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative
Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee,
if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by
Section 3.01(f).


 


(v)           No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), (C) to a natural Person (or a holding company,
investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of natural Person) or (D) to any Person
that, through its Lending Offices, is not capable of lending to the Company without the imposition of any additional Indemnified
Taxes.


 


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


 


Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,
3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment; provided,


 






    	 	72	 



     


    

 


that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting
Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting
Lender. Upon request, the Company (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer
by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes
of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of
this Section.


 


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


 


(d)           Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
to any Person (other than a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or
for the primary benefit of natural Person), a Defaulting Lender or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries)
(each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04 without regard to
the existence of any participation.


 


Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or
other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection
(e) of this Section, the Company agrees that each Participant, shall be entitled, through the applicable Lender, to the benefits
of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s
request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06
with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08
as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were
a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest)
of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including
the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters
of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under


 






    	 	73	 



     


    

 


Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations or successor provisions. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative
Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.


 


(e)           Limitations
upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01, 3.04
or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.
Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Company
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply
with Section 3.01(f) as though it were a Lender.


 


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


 


10.07      Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees on its own behalf and on
behalf of its Affiliates to keep confidential all non-public Information (as defined below) provided to it by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative
Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such Information (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (so long as each
such Person has been informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential)
solely for the purposes of, or otherwise in connection with, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, (b) subject to an express agreement to maintain the confidentiality of such Information in compliance
with the provisions of this Section 10.07, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee
of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement) or (ii) any actual or prospective direct or
indirect counterparty to any Swap Contract (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors,
agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates, or of any Affiliate of any Lender,
in each case who have a need to know such Information in accordance with customary business practices (it being understood that
the person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep
such Information confidential), (d) upon the request or demand of any governmental or regulatory authority purporting to
have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners), (e) in response to any order of any court or other governmental or regulatory authority (including
by subpoena or similar legal process) or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any requirement of Law, (f) if required
to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed, other than as a result
of a disclosure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective employees, directors, agents, attorneys,
accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of their respective affiliates, in violation of this paragraph, (h) upon
the request of any rating agency when required by it, (i) upon the request of the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization,
(j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or any action or proceeding
(including the preparation of any defense) relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any transaction or matter related
thereto, or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (k) to any other party hereto, (l) other service providers
solely in connection with the Transactions (provided that such information shall be provided on a


 






    	 	74	 



     


    

 


confidential basis) or
(m) with the consent of the Company. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall, prior to any disclosure under clause (d),
(e), (f), (h) or (i) above to (x) any governmental or regulatory authority that does not have supervisory, regulatory
or other similar authority with respect to the Administrative Agent or such Lender and that is seeking such disclosure solely
in connection with an investigation, litigation or other proceeding that does not otherwise involve the Administrative Agent or
such Lender or (y) any other person that is not a governmental or regulatory authority, notify the Company of any request
for the disclosure of any such non-public Information so as to provide the Company with the reasonable opportunity to obtain a
protective order or other comparable relief; provided that no such notification will be required if the Administrative
Agent or such Lender (or their respective counsel) reasonably determines that such notification would be prohibited by applicable
Law or court order. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender will make available to the Company or any of its Affiliates
confidential Information that they have obtained or may obtain from any other customer. The Administrative Agent and each Lender
are permitted to access, use and share with any of their respective bank or non-bank Affiliates, agents, advisors (legal or otherwise)
or representatives any Information concerning the Company or any of its Affiliates that is or may come into the possession of
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of such Affiliates; provided that, in each case, such Information shall be
used solely in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.


 


For purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any Subsidiary relating to the Company
or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain
the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to
do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would
accord to its own confidential information.


 


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


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that some or all of the Information as defined
in this Section 10.07 is or may be price sensitive information and that the use of such Information may be regulated or prohibited
by applicable legislation including securities laws relating to insider trading (under the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz
 – wphg) or otherwise) and each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders undertakes not to use any Information for
any unlawful purpose.


 


10.08      Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default exists, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency)
at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any and all
of the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or
their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Company may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch,
office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness;
provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of


 






    	 	75	 



     


    

 


setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately
to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending
such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement
describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Company
and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.


 


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


 


10.10      Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided
in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent
and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each
of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other
electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
of this Agreement.


 


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


 


10.12      Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that
the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating


 






    	 	76	 



     


    

 


to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as
determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not
so limited.


 


10.13      Replacement
of Lenders. If the Company is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to Section 3.06, if any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, if the obligation of any Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans is suspended pursuant to Section 3.02,
if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Company the right to replace
a Lender as a party hereto, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments
pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible
Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided
that:


 


(a)           the
Company shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.06(b);


 


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


 


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


 


(d)           in
the event such Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in
respect of which such Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender and the Company also requires each other Lender that is a Non-Consenting
Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments; and


 


(e)           such
assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.


 


A Lender shall not be required to make
any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto and promptly after notice to such Lender of the Company’s intent to replace
such Lender, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.


 


10.14      Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.


 


(a)           GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT
OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED THAT THE INTERPRETATION OF WHETHER THE COMPANY OR ONE OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES

RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN (OR IF SUCH COURT LACKS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN), AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION
OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN

INTERESTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
APPLICABLE LAWS GOVERNING THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION,
LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
AGAINST THE COMPANY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.


 


(c)           WAIVER
OF VENUE. THE COMPANY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION
THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION
OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.


 


(d)           SERVICE
OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02.
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW.

MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE


 






    	 	78	 



     


    

 


TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT
OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED
TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION.


 


10.16      No
Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in
connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Company acknowledges and
agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding
this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions
between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other
hand, (B) the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate,
and (C) the Company is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and each Lender
is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been,
is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company or any of its respective Affiliates, or any other
Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender has any obligation to the Company or any of
its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in
the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates
may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its Affiliates,
and neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the
Company or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives and releases any claims that
it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency
or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.


 


10.17      Electronic
Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “delivery”, “execute,” “execution,”
 “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Document or any other document executed in
connection herewith shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract
formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of
which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof
or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law,
including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and
Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender is under any obligation to agree to accept electronic
signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to procedures
approved by it and provided further without limiting the foregoing, upon the request of any party, any electronic signature shall
be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.


 


10.18      USA
PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself
and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III
of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October


 






    	 	79	 



     


    

 


26,
2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which
information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, to identify the Company in accordance with the Act. The Company shall, promptly following a request by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender
requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering
rules and regulations, including the Act.


 


10.19      Judgment
Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other
Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding
that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Company in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement
(the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with
the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender from the Company in the Agreement Currency, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding
any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount
of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such
currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Company
(or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(ii)           a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution,
its parent 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 the applicable
Resolution Authority.
