(f)               
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following as Section 10.27: 


 


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


 


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


 


Section 2.               
Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party party hereto represents and warrants to the Lenders as of
the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (as defined below) that:


 


(a)              
Immediately before and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties of each Loan
Party set forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective
Date, with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly
relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects
as of such earlier date).


 


(b)              
Immediately before and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing.
