*Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement* 

On March 23, 2023, U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, USS Holdings, Inc., as guarantor, U.S. Silica Company ("U.S. Silica"), as borrower, and certain of U.S. Silica's subsidiaries as additional guarantors (collectively, the "Loan Parties"), entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, and the lenders named therein (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement is comprised of a new $1.1 billion senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $950 million Term Loan B and a $150 million revolving credit facility that may also be used for swingline loans or letters of credit, and U.S. Silica may elect to increase the term loan or the revolving credit facility as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company used the net proceeds from the term loan, along with excess cash on the balance sheet, to extinguish $109 million of outstanding debt and for associated refinancing fees. Including this transaction, the Company will have extinguished more than $250 million of long-term debt over the last nine months. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of U.S. Silica and U.S. Silica's domestic subsidiaries and a pledge of the equity interests in such entities. The term loan matures on March 23, 2030 and the revolving credit facility commitment expires March 23, 2028.

The proceeds available from the term loan and the revolving credit facility will be available for general corporate purposes, which can be used for acquisitions, investments, dividends, and share repurchases, and for other general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, as determined at U.S. Silica's election, at an annual rate based on the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% plus an interest rate margin of 4.75% (subject to 0.5% floor in the case of the term loan and 0% floor in the case of the revolving credit facility) or a base rate plus an interest rate margin of 3.75%. In addition, under the Credit Agreement, U.S. Silica is required to pay a per annum commitment fees to revolving lenders and fees for letters of credit.

U.S. Silica may prepay any term loan or revolving loan in whole or in part at any time, subject to a prepayment premium of 1.0% in the event the term loan is repriced within the twelve months following the closing date of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, govern the ability of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries to create, incur or assume indebtedness and liens, to make acquisitions or investments, to pay dividends and to sell assets. The Credit Agreement also requires the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of no more than 4.00:1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter whenever the ratio of the revolving credit facility commitment to usage of the revolving credit facility (other than certain undrawn letters of credit) is less than or equal to 2.85:1.00. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. The Credit Agreement includes events of default and other affirmative and negative covenants that are usual for facilities and transactions of this type.

The preceding summary does not purport to be a complete summary of the Credit Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

**AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS AND LOANS** 

**Section 2.1 Commitments; Making of Loans; the Register; Optional Notes** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Commitments** Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties of Company herein set forth, each applicable Lender hereby severally agrees to make the Loans described in this Section 2.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) **Term Loans** Each Lender that has a Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to lend to Company (including,
as applicable, to continue its outstanding Third Restatement Loans) on the Effective Date an amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitments to be used for the purposes identified in Section 2.5(a)
and funded and continued in accordance with the Funds Flow Memorandum. The amount of each Lender's Term Loan Commitment shall be set forth opposite its name on a schedule held by Administrative Agent and the aggregate amount of the Term Loan
Commitments is $950,000,000; *provided that* the amount of the Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall be adjusted to give effect to any assignment of such Term Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 9.1(b). Company may make only one
borrowing under the Term Loan Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, such borrowing made by Company pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(i) shall be deemed to include the Term Loans made by the Lenders on the Effective Date as requested pursuant
to the Notice of Borrowing dated on or about the Effective Date and the outstanding Third Restatement Loans under the Amended Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and continued hereunder and such borrowing shall be deemed to be made on the
Effective Date on the same terms and conditions as the Term Loans requested pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing delivered on or about the Effective Date. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1(a)(i) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not
be reborrowed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) **Revolving Loans** Each Revolving Lender severally agrees, subject to the limitations set forth below with
respect to the maximum amount of Revolving Loans permitted to be outstanding from time to time, to lend to Company from time to time during the period from the first Business Day after the Effective Date up to but excluding the Revolving Loan
Commitment Termination Date, an aggregate amount not exceeding such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the then available Revolving Loan Commitments, all such Loans to be used for the purposes identified in
Section 2.5(a). The original amount of each Revolving Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment is set forth opposite its name on a schedule held by Administrative Agent and the original Revolving Loan Commitment Amount is $150,000,000; *provided that* the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be adjusted to give effect to any assignment of such Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 9.1(b) and shall be reduced from time to time by
the amount of any reductions thereto made pursuant to Section 2.4. Each Revolving Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment

------

Termination Date and all Revolving Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be paid in full no later than that date. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1(a)(ii) may be repaid and reborrowed up to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be subject to the limitation that in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at any time exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount then in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) **Swing Line Loans** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) **General Provisions** Swing Line Lender hereby agrees, subject to the limitations set forth in the last
paragraph of Section 2.1(a)(ii) and set forth below with respect to the maximum amount of Swing Line Loans permitted to be outstanding from time to time, to make a portion of the Revolving Loan Commitments available to Company from time to time
during the period from the Effective Date up to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date by making Swing Line Loans to Company in an aggregate amount not exceeding the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment to be used for the
purposes identified in Section 2.5(a), notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with Swing Line Lender's outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage then
in effect, may exceed Swing Line Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment. The original amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment is $20,000,000; *provided that* any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount made pursuant to
Section 2.4 that reduces the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount to an amount less than the then current amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment shall result in an automatic proportional reduction of the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment
to the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, as so reduced, without any further action on the part of Company, Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment
Termination Date and all Swing Line Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans shall be paid in full no later than that date. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1(a)(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed up
to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) **Swing Line Loan Prepayment with Proceeds of Revolving Loans** With respect to any Swing Line Loans that
have not been voluntarily prepaid by Company pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i), Swing Line Lender may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to

------

Administrative Agent (with a copy to Company), no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the first Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date, a notice requesting Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans in Dollars that are Base Rate Loans on such Funding Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the "**Refunded Swing Line Loans**") outstanding on the date such notice is given. Company hereby authorizes the giving of any such notice and the making of any such Revolving Loans. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Company) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note, if any, of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender's outstanding Revolving Loans and shall be due under the Revolving Note, if any, of Swing Line Lender. Company hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge Company's accounts with Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders, including the Revolving Loan deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of Company from Swing Line Lender in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Proceeding, in any assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 9.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) **Swing Line Loan Assignments** On the Funding Date of each Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby agrees to, purchase an assignment of such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share in Dollars. If for any reason (1) Revolving Loans are not made upon the request of Swing Line Lender as provided in the
immediately preceding paragraph in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to Swing Line Lender in respect of such Swing Line Loan or (2) the Revolving Loan Commitments are terminated at a time when such Swing Line Loan is outstanding,
upon notice from Swing Line Lender as provided below, each Revolving Lender shall fund the purchase of

------

such assignment in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share in Dollars (calculated, in the case of the foregoing clause (2), immediately prior to such termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments) of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Loan together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day's notice from Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender shall deliver to Swing Line Lender such amount in same day funds at the Funding and Payment Office. In order to further evidence such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment provisions set forth above), each Revolving Lender agrees to enter into an Assignment Agreement at the request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Swing Line Lender. In the event any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Swing Line Lender any amount as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender, together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. In the event Swing Line Lender receives a payment of any amount with respect to which other Revolving Lenders have funded the purchase of assignments as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall promptly distribute to each such other Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) **Revolving Lenders ' Obligations** Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii)(B) and each Revolving Lender's obligation to purchase an assignment
of any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default;
(3) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (4) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any
party thereto; or (5) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; *provided that* such obligations of each Revolving Lender are subject to the condition that (x) Swing Line
Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under ARTICLE III to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, were satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid
Swing Line Loans were made or (y) the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived in accordance with Section 9.6 prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) **Telephonic Notice** Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Company in

Section 2.1(b) or under Section 2.2(d), and upon funding of Loans by Lenders, and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(d), in each

the event that any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is no longer true and correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by Company of the proceeds of any Loans shall
constitute a re-certification by Company as of the applicable Funding Date, as to the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) **Notice Irrevocable** Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(b), Section 2.6(c) and
Section 2.6(f), a Notice of Borrowing for, or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to or continuation of, a SOFR Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination
Date, and Company shall be bound to make a borrowing or to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) **Defaulting Lenders** In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period
it remains, a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, each of Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender is hereby authorized by Company (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through
Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i) in such amounts and in such times as may be required to (A) reimburse an unreimbursed drawings under any outstanding Letter of Credit, (B) repay an outstanding

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Disbursement of Funds** All Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be made by Lenders simultaneously
and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder nor shall the amount of the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular type of Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder. Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender for that type of Loan or Swing Line Lender, as
the case may be, of the proposed borrowing. Each such Lender (other than Swing Line Lender) shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date in same day

Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to a Funding Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender's Loan requested on such Funding Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Company a corresponding amount on such Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company and shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent's demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company and Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.1(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Company may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **The Register** Administrative Agent, acting for these purposes solely as an agent of Company (it
being acknowledged that Administrative Agent, in such capacity, and its officers, directors, employees, agent and Affiliates shall constitute Indemnitees under Section 9.3), shall maintain (and make available for inspection by Company and
Lenders (solely as it relates to such Lender's Commitments) upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times) at its address referred to in Section 9.8 a register for the recordation of, and shall record, the names and addresses of Lenders
and the respective amounts (and Pro Rata Shares) of the Term Loan Commitment, Revolving Loan Commitment, Swing Line Loan Commitment, Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans of each Lender from time to time (the "**Register** ").
Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof; all amounts owed with respect
to any Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof; and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the
Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent

------

holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. Each Lender shall record on its internal records the amount of its Loans and Commitments and each payment in respect thereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent manifest error, subject to the entries in the Register, which shall, absent manifest error, govern in the event of any inconsistency with any Lender's records. The parties hereto agree and intend that the Obligations shall be treated as being in "registered form" for the purposes of the Internal Revenue Code (including Internal Revenue Code Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), 881(c)(2), and 4701), and the Register shall be maintained in accordance with such intention.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **Optional Notes** If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Company (with a copy to Administrative
Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Effective Date or at any time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender
pursuant to Section 9.1) on the Effective Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the date that is two Business Days prior to the Effective Date, promptly after Company's receipt of such notice) a promissory note to evidence such
Lender's Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, substantially in the form of Exhibit III-A, Exhibit III-B or Exhibit III-C annexed hereto, respectively, with appropriate insertions.

**Section 2.2 Interest on the Loans** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Rate of Interest** Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 and Section 2.7, each Term Loan and
each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.7, each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate. Subject to
Section 2.12 and Section 2.13, the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Term Loan or Revolving Loan shall be selected by Company initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given with respect to such
Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (subject to the basis for determining the interest rate with respect to the Loans being changed from time to time pursuant to Section 2.2(d)). If on any day a Term Loan or Revolving Loan is outstanding with
respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by
reference to the Base Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) **Revolving Loans** Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(d), Section 2.2(e),

of that amount as a SOFR Loan; *provided, however, that* a SOFR Loan may only be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) **Conversion/Continuation Notice** Company shall deliver a duly executed Notice of Conversion/Continuation

increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.2(e) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative
Agent or any Lender.

using the Federal Funds Effective Rate, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of
the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a SOFR Loan, the date of conversion of such SOFR Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall
be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a SOFR Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such SOFR
Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; *provided that* if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day's interest shall be paid on that Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) **Maximum Rate** Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, in no event shall the
rate of interest payable by Company with respect to any Loan exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.

Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become

------

effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

**Section 2.3 Fees** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Revolving Loan Commitment Fees** Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution to each
Revolving Lender (which is not a Defaulting Lender) in proportion to that Lender's Pro Rata Share, commitment fees for the period from and including the Effective Date to and excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date equal to the
average of the daily excess of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount over the (i) aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans (but not any outstanding Swing Line Loans; *provided, however, that* for purposes of calculating
such fee, Swing Line Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee with respect to any outstanding Swing Line Loans) and (ii) aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, multiplied by 0.50% per annum; *provided that*, if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements are required to have been delivered was less than 2.00:1.00 (as certified and demonstrated in
reasonable detail in a Compliance Certificate delivered to Administrative Agent with such financial statements in accordance with Section 5.1(d)), then the percentage set forth above shall be reduced to 0.375% per annum for the Fiscal Quarter
immediately following the Fiscal Quarter for which such financial statements were delivered; *provided further that* any commitment fee owing to a Lender which is a Defaulting Lender may be withheld by Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion for so long as such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender (for avoidance of doubt the failure of such Defaulting Lender to receive the timely payment of such fee by reason thereof shall not give rise to any Potential Event of Default or
Event of Default). All such commitment fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30,
September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date or the earlier date that the entire Revolving Loan Commitment is
terminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Other Fees** Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent such fees in the amounts and at the times
separately agreed upon between Company and Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Defaulting Lenders** Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees (for avoidance of doubt the failure of such Defaulting Lender to receive the timely payment of any such fees by reason thereof shall not give rise to any Potential Event of
Default or Event of Default) accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 10.2 (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees); *provided that* (i) to the
extent that a portion of the LC Exposure or the Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11, such fees that would have accrued for
the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-

------

Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (ii) to the extent any portion of such LC Exposure or Swing Line Exposure cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender, as their interests appear (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 9.5 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section 2.3).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Soft Call** In the event that a Repricing Event becomes effective on or prior to the date that is twelve
months after the Effective Date, Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender holding all or any portion of Term Loans that are subject to such Repricing Event, a prepayment premium in an amount equal to
1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of all such Term Loans so repaid or otherwise subject to such Repricing Event. For the avoidance of doubt, any Lender that is forced to assign any Term Loan following the failure of such Lender to consent to
any Repricing Event that becomes effective on or prior to the date that is twelve months after the Effective Date shall be entitled to receive such prepayment premium with respect to its Term Loans so assigned. Such prepayment premium shall be due
and payable on the date such Repricing Event becomes effective.

the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount then in effect. At such time as the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments shall be equal to or less than the Revolving
Loan Commitment Amount, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent any Cash Collateral was provided by Company and has not been applied to any Obligations as provided in the Pledge and Security Agreement, such amount may,
at the request of Company, be released to Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) **Application of Prepayments** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) **Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans and Order of Maturity** Any voluntary prepayment of
the Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i) shall be applied as specified by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment; *provided that*, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans, such voluntary prepayment shall be
applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the remaining scheduled installments; *provided further that*, in the event Company fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied first to repay
outstanding Swing Line Loans on a pro rata basis to the full extent of the respective amount owing to each applicable Lender, second, to the extent of any remaining portion of such amount, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis to
the full extent of the respective amount owing to each applicable Lender, and third, to the extent of any remaining portion of such amount, to reduce the remaining scheduled installments of the Term Loans on a pro rata basis to the full extent
thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) **Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans** Except as provided in Section 2.4(d), any
mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(iii) shall be applied first to the next four scheduled payments pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(i), second to prepay outstanding Term Loans to reduce the remaining scheduled
installments thereof on a pro rata basis, third, to the extent of any remaining portion of such amount, to prepay outstanding Swing Line Loans on a pro rata basis to the full extent of the respective amount owing to each applicable Lender, and
fourth, to the extent of any remaining portion of such amount, to prepay outstanding Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis to the full extent of the respective amount owing to each applicable Lender (and, after prepaying all Revolving Loans, Cash
Collateralize any outstanding Letters

------

of Credit by depositing the requisite amount in the Collateral Account) and to further permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount to the full extent thereof. Any mandatory reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall be in proportion to each Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) **Application of Prepayments to Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans** Considering Term Loans and Revolving Loans
being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to SOFR Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Company
pursuant to Section 2.6(d) *provided that*, in any event, any prepayment of a SOFR Loan on any date other than the expiration date at the Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to the requirements of
Section 2.6(d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) **Application of Prepayments to SOFR Loans** If the application of any payment made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.4(b)(i) or Section 2.4(b)(iii) would result in termination of a SOFR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such SOFR Loan, Company may elect to have the amount of such prepayment not applied to such
SOFR Loan, but held by Administrative Agent in the Collateral Account, in each case to be applied as such amount would otherwise have been applied under this Section 2.4(b)(iv) as of the last day of the relevant Interest Period; *provided that* any interest earned on such amount shall be paid to Company (or as otherwise directed by Company) on the last day of the relevant Interest Period if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing
payment to the Collateral Account, the related SOFR Loan shall remain outstanding for all purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the accrual of interest and fees and the calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and the
Incurrence Ratio, until such time as such SOFR Loan has been paid in full or converted or continued in accordance with the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) **Acquisition of Term Loans by a Loan Party** Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 2.4 or any other provision of this Agreement, Parent, Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may repurchase outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(v) on the following basis:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Parent, Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (the "**Purchaser**") may make one or more offers
(each, a "**Loan Repurchase Offer**") to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans (such Term Loans, the "**Repurchase Offer Loans**") of Term Lenders pursuant to an open *pro rata* tender process; *provided that*:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Purchaser delivers a notice of such Loan Repurchase Offer to Administrative Agent and all Term Lenders no
later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least five Business Days in advance of a proposed consummation date of such Loan Repurchase Offer indicating (1) the last date on which such Loan Repurchase Offer may be accepted, (2) the
maximum dollar amount of such Loan Repurchase Offer, (3) the repurchase price per dollar of principal amount of such Repurchase Offer Loans at which such Purchaser is willing to repurchase such Repurchase Offer Loans and (4) the
instructions with respect to the Loan Repurchase Offer that a Term Lender must follow in order to have its Repurchase Offer Loans repurchased;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) a Term Lender who elects to participate in the Loan Repurchase Offer may choose to sell all or part of such
Term Lender's Repurchase Offer Loans; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) such Loan Repurchase Offer shall be made to Term Lenders holding the Repurchase Offer Loans on a *pro rata* basis in accordance with the respective principal amount then held by such Term Lenders; *provided further that*, if any Term Lender elects not to participate in the Loan Repurchase Offer, either in whole or in part, the amount of such
Term Lender's Repurchase Offer Loans not being tendered shall be excluded in calculating the *pro rata* amount applicable to the balance of such Repurchase Offer Loans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Such repurchases shall not constitute a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4 and such repurchases
shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 9.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) With respect to all repurchases made by Parent, Company or Restricted Subsidiary thereof such Repurchase Offer
Loans shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon the repurchase thereof and all principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans so repurchased shall be deemed to have been paid for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not
be resold by Parent, Company or such Restricted Subsidiary), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) Following repurchase by a Purchaser, Company will promptly advise Administrative Agent of the total amount of
Repurchase Offer Loans that were repurchased from each Term Lender who elected to participate in the Loan Repurchase Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **General Provisions Regarding Payments** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) **Manner and Time of Payment** All payments by Company of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations
shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date

------

due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of Lenders; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Company on the next succeeding Business Day. Company hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge its accounts with Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) **Application of Payments to Principal and Interest** Except as provided in Section 2.2(c), all
payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) **Apportionment of Payments** Aggregate payments of principal and interest shall be apportioned among all
outstanding Loans to which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to Lenders' respective Pro Rata Shares. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at the account specified in the payment instructions delivered
to Administrative Agent by such Lender, its Pro Rata Share of all such payments received by Administrative Agent and the commitment fees and Letter of Credit fees of such Lender, if any, when received by Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.3 and Section 10.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(c)(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or
if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any SOFR Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning interest payments received thereafter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) **Payments on Business Days** Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day
that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Application of Proceeds of Collateral and Payments after Event of Default** Upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, if requested by Requisite Lenders, or upon acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to ARTICLE VII, (a) all payments received by Administrative Agent, whether from Company, Parent or any Subsidiary
Guarantor or otherwise and (b) all proceeds received by Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral under any Collateral Document shall be applied in full or in
part by Administrative Agent, in each case in the following order of priority:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, all other expenses,
liabilities and advances made or incurred by Agents in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Agents are entitled to compensation (including the fees described in Section 2.3), reimbursement and

------

indemnification under any Loan Document and all advances made by Agents thereunder for the account of the applicable Loan Party, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Agents in connection with the Loan Documents, all in accordance with Section 8.4, Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 and the other terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) thereafter, to the payment of all other Obligations, Banking Services Obligations and obligations of Loan
Parties under any Hedge Agreement between a Loan Party and a Hedge Agreement Counterparty, to the extent then due and owing for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof (subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(c)(ii) hereof); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) thereafter, to the payment to or upon the order of such Loan Party or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, no payment received by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party (in each case, in such capacities) directly or indirectly from any Loan Party that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall be applied directly or indirectly by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party to the payment of any Excluded Swap Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **Termination of Defaulting Lender's Commitment**. Company may terminate the unused amount of the
Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days' prior notice by Company to Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.11(c) will apply to
all amounts thereafter paid by Company for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); *provided that* such termination will not be deemed to be a
waiver or release of any claim Company, Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender, Swing Line Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

**Section 2.5 Use of Proceeds** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Loans** The proceeds of the Term Loans will be used to consummate the Transactions. The proceeds of any
Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans shall be applied by Company for working capital and other general corporate purposes including capital expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions. The proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans shall be used for working
capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Margin Regulations** No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under this Agreement shall be used by
Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in any manner that might cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any
other regulation of such Board or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such borrowing and such use of proceeds.

------

**Section 2.6 Special Provisions Governing SOFR Loans** 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to SOFR Loans as to the matters covered:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Determination of Applicable Interest Rate** On each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent
shall determine in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the SOFR Loans for which an interest rate is then
being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each applicable Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate** Subject to Section 2.15, if, on or prior to the
first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error)
that "Adjusted Term SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Requisite Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a
conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the
Requisite Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

then, in each case, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender.

Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Company, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Company to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Company may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Company shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.6(d). Subject to Section 2.15, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that "Adjusted Term SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (b) of the definition of "Base Rate" until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Illegality of SOFR Loans** In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Company and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its SOFR Loans has become unlawful as a result of
compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the
failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an "**Affected Lender**" and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and
Administrative Agent of such determination. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each other Lender of the receipt of such notice. Thereafter (A) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, to convert Loans to or to continue
Loans as SOFR Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (B) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a SOFR Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (C) the Affected Lender's obligation to maintain its outstanding SOFR Loans (the
" **Affected Loans**") shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to such Affected Loans or when required by law, (D) the Affected Loans shall automatically
convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination and (E) the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (b) of the
definition of "Base Rate", in each case until the Affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a
determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a SOFR Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall have the option, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.6(d), to rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation as to all applicable Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the
date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the receipt of such notice. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence,
nothing in this Section 2.6(c) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, SOFR Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Compensation For Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods** Company shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender pursuant to Section 2.8, for all reasonable documented losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds
borrowed by it to make or carry its SOFR Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by that Lender in connection with the

------

liquidation or re-employment of such funds) which that Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that Lender) a borrowing of any SOFR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request therefor, or a conversion to or continuation of any SOFR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request therefor, (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment or any conversion of any of its SOFR Loans (including any prepayment or conversion occasioned by the circumstances described in Section 2.6(c)) occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment of any of its SOFR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Company or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by Company in the repayment of its SOFR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **Booking of SOFR Loans** Any Lender may make, carry or transfer SOFR Loans at, to, or for the account of
any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) **SOFR Loans After Default** After the occurrence and during the continuation of a Potential Event of
Default or an Event of Default, (i) Company may not elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted to, a SOFR Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for that Loan and (ii) subject to the
provisions of Section 2.6(d), any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan.

**Section 2.7 Increased Costs; Taxes; Capital Adequacy** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Compensation for Increased Costs** Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(b) (which shall be
controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (including Issuing Lender) shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that
any Change in Law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time
by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as "Eurocurrency
liabilities" in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by,
or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) subjects any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Taxes described in clauses
(a)(iii), (c) and (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to Taxes) on or affecting such Lender or its obligations
hereunder;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining its Loans or Commitments or agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation therein or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in Section 2.8(a), such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender on an after tax basis for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) for any increased cost or reduction in respect of a period occurring more than six months prior to the date on which such Lender notifies Company of such Change in Law and such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor, except, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, no such time limitation shall apply so long as such Lender requests compensation within six months from the date on which the applicable Government Authority informed such Lender of such Change in Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Taxes** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) **Payments to Be Free and Clear** Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Company under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) **Grossing-up of Payments** If Company or any other Person is
required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from any sum paid or payable by Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Company shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon
as Company becomes aware of it;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Company shall timely pay any such Indemnified Tax and Other Tax to the relevant Government Authority when such
amount is due, in accordance with applicable law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) The sum payable by Company shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after making the required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7(b)(ii)), Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives a sum equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction been
required or made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Tax or Other Tax which it is required by clause
(B) above to pay, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of an official receipt or other document reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties to evidence the payment and its remittance to the
relevant Government Authority.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) **Indemnification by Company** Company shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days
after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes on or with respect to any sum paid or payable by Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents or Other Taxes (including for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.7(b)(iii)) paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to Company by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) **Tax Status of Lenders** Unless not legally entitled to do so:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) any Lender, if requested by Company or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such forms or other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Company or Administrative Agent as will enable Company or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Tax with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Company and Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter, as may be necessary in the
determination of Company or Administrative Agent, each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), such properly completed and duly executed forms or other documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Company is resident for Tax purposes in the
United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Company and 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 may be necessary in the determination of Company or Administrative Agent, each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), whichever of the following is applicable:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption "portfolio interest" under
Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (A) a duly executed certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (i) a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code,
(ii) a ten-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of Company or Parent or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to Company or Parent described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (B) properly completed and duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) properly completed and duly executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for
claiming exemption from or a reduction in any Tax,

in each case together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Company and Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Company is resident for Tax purposes in the
United States, any Foreign Lender that does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by
such Lender) shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Company (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender, or on such later date when such Foreign Lender ceases to
act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and from time to time thereafter, as may be necessary in the determination of Company or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) duly executed and properly completed copies of the forms and statements required to be provided by such Foreign
Lender under clause (C) of Section 2.7(b)(iv), to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account and may be entitled to an exemption from or a reduction of the applicable
Tax, and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) duly executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender, together with any information, if any, such Foreign Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any
other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations thereunder, to establish that such Foreign Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such
Foreign Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Company is resident for tax purposes in the
United States, any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender and has not otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of Company and Administrative Agent that it is an exempt recipient (as defined in section 6049(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code
and the United States Treasury Regulations thereunder) shall deliver to Company and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of Company or Administrative Agent), duly executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F) 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 Internal Revenue 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 Internal Revenue 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, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
Section 2.7(b)(iv)(F), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(G) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender hereby agrees, from time to time after the
initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly
(1) deliver to

------

Administrative Agent and Company two original copies of renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents and, if applicable, that such Lender does not act for its own account with respect to any portion of such payment or (2) notify Administrative Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(H) Any successor Administrative Agent that is a "United States person" within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to Company on or prior to the date hereof and on or prior to the date on which any Administrative Agent becomes a successor Administrative Agent hereunder (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of Company), two executed and properly completed originals of IRS Form W-9 (but only if such successor Administrative Agent is not providing an IRS Form W-9 in its capacity as Lender). Any successor Administrative Agent that is not a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) shall deliver (x) with respect to any payments
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 (with all underlying attachments in the case of a W-8IMY) and (y) with respect to any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of others, an IRS Form W-8IMY (together with any required attachments).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Section 2.7(b)(iv), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (C)(1), (2) and (3), (D), (E) and (F) of this Section 2.7(b)(iv) above) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) **Treatment of Certain Refunds** If Administrative Agent or the Lender determines in its sole discretion
that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Company or which respect to which Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7(b), it shall pay to Company an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid by Company under this Section 2.7(b) with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Government Authority with respect to such refund), *provided that* Company, reasonably

------

promptly after request by Administrative Agent or the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Government Authority) to Administrative Agent or the Lender in the event Administrative Agent or the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Government Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7(b)(v), in no event will the Administrative Agent or the Lender be required to pay any amount to Company pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)(v) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.7(b)(v) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Company or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Capital Adequacy Adjustment** If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital
adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender's Loans or
Commitments or Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such
Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Company from such Lender of the statement
referred to in Section 2.8(a), Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after tax basis for such reduction. Company shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) for any reduction in respect of a period occurring more than six months prior to the date on which such Lender notifies Company of such Change in Law and such Lender's intention to claim
compensation therefor, except, if the Change in Law giving rise to such reduction is retroactive, no such time limitation shall apply so long as such Lender requests compensation within six months from the date on which the applicable Government
Authority informed such Lender of such Change in Law.

**Section 2.8 Statement of Lenders; Obligation of Lenders and Issuing Lenders to Mitigate** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Statements** Each Lender claiming compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.6(d),
Section 2.7 or Section 2.8(b) shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such compensation or reimbursement, which statement shall
be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Mitigation** Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the
officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender responsible for administering the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause
such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under Section 2.7, such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to make, issue, fund or maintain its
Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through another lending or letter of credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender, if (i) as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to
exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.7 would be materially reduced and (ii) as determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole
discretion, such action would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Lender; *provided that* such Lender or Issuing Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or letter of credit office pursuant to
this Section 2.8(b) unless Company agrees to pay all reasonable incremental expenses incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending or letter of credit office as described above.

**Section 2.9 Defaulting Lenders** 

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Defaulting Lender defaults (a "**Funding Default**") in its obligation to fund any Revolving Loan (a "**Defaulted Revolving Loan**") in accordance with Section 2.1, then (a) except as permitted under Section 9.6(b), during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a "Lender" (but shall remain a "Secured Party"), and the amount of such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment and Revolving Loans shall be excluded for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i) shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Loan Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(iii) shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Revolving Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lenders had funded all Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Company shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (ii) and that any mandatory reduction of Revolving Loan Commitment Amount pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(iii) required by reason of such mandatory prepayment shall apply to all Revolving Loan Commitments on a pro rata basis, including the Revolving Loan Commitment of the Defaulting Lender, (c) the amount of such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Loans and Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage, as the case may be, shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the commitment fee payable to Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3(a) in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender and (d) the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

------

For purposes of this Agreement, (A) "**Default Period**" means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the period commencing on the date of the applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates: (1) the date on which all Revolving Loan Commitments are cancelled or terminated and/or the Obligations are declared or become immediately due and payable, (2) the date on which (x) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such Defaulting Lender of any Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender or by the non-pro rata application of any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms hereof or any combination thereof) and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall have delivered to Company and Administrative Agent a written reaffirmation of its intention to honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Revolving Loan Commitment and (3) the date on which Company, Administrative Agent and Revolving Lenders waive all Funding Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing and (B) "**Default Excess**" means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of all Revolving Lenders (calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders (including such Defaulting Lender) had funded all of their respective Defaulted Revolving Loans), over the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

No amount of the Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.9, performance by Company of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.9. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.9 are in addition to other rights and remedies that Company may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

If Company, Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender all agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.11), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Term Loan Exposure, Revolving Loan Exposure, LC Exposure and Swing Line Exposure of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and the Term Loan Exposure, Revolving Loan Exposure, LC Exposure and Swing Line Exposure, as applicable, of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); *provided that* no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Company while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; *provided further that*, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender.

------

**Section 2.10 Replacement of a Lender** 

**IF:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Company receives a statement of amounts due pursuant to Section 2.8(a) from a Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) a Lender refuses to give timely consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that,
pursuant to Section 9.6, requires consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of the Lenders with Obligations directly affected (and the consent of Requisite Lenders has been given with respect thereto);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) a Revolving Lender refuses to give timely written consent in connection with an Asset Sale contemplated under
Section 6.7(d)(E) which requires consent of 100% of the Revolving Lenders (any such Lender described in clauses (c) or (d), a "**Non-Consenting Lender** "); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) a Lender becomes an Affected Lender (any such Lender described in clauses (a) through (e), a
" **Subject Lender** ");

**THEN** so long as (i) Company has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par the Subject Lender's Loans and assume the Subject Lender's Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Lender hereunder, and (ii) such Lender is not Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding (unless all such Letters of Credit are terminated or arrangements acceptable to such Issuing Lender (such as a back-to-back letter of credit) are made), if applicable, the Subject Lender is unwilling to withdraw the notice delivered to Company pursuant to Section 2.8 and/or is unwilling to remedy its default upon 10 days prior written notice to the Subject Lender and Administrative Agent, Company may require the Subject Lender to assign all of its Loans and Commitments to such other Lender, Lenders, Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1(b); *provided that*, prior to or concurrently with such replacement:

(A) the Subject Lender shall have received payment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other amounts
(including all amounts under Section 2.6(d), Section 2.7 and/or Section 2.8(b) (if applicable)) accrued through such date of replacement, as purchase price, and a release from its obligations under the Loan Documents;

(B) the processing fee required to be paid by Section 9.1(b)(i) shall have been paid to Administrative Agent;

(C) all of the requirements for such assignment contained in Section 9.1(b), including, without limitation,
the consent of Administrative Agent (if required) and the receipt by Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment Agreement executed by the assignee (Administrative Agent being hereby authorized to execute any Assignment Agreement on behalf of a
Subject Lender relating to the assignment of Loans and/or Commitments of such Subject Lender) and other supporting documents, have been fulfilled; and

------

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

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender solely because it refused to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver that required the consent of 100% of the Lenders with Obligations directly affected thereby (which amendment, modification or waiver did not accordingly require the consent of 100% of all the Lenders) the Loans and Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender that are subject to the assignments required by this Section 2.10 shall include only those Loans and Commitments that constitute the Obligations directly affected by the amendment, modification or waiver to which such Non-Consenting Lender refused to provide its consent.

**Section 2.11 Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment, etc.** 

If no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default is outstanding, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding LC Exposure and any outstanding Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the LC Exposure and the Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the
first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; *provided that* (i) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender's total Revolving Loan Exposure, total Swing Line Exposure and total LC Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (ii) subject to Section 9.24, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim Company, Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender, Swing Line Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to the extent that any portion (the "**unreallocated portion**") of the Defaulting Lender's
LC Exposure and Swing Line Exposure cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (a) above or otherwise, Company will, not later than 5 Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent (at the direction of
Issuing Lender and/or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be), (i) Cash Collateralize the obligations of Company to Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender in respect of such LC Exposure or Swing Line Exposure, as the case may be, in an amount equal to
the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such LC Exposure or Swing Line Exposure, or (ii) in the case of such Swing Line Exposure, prepay (subject to clause (c) below) and/or Cash Collateralize in full the unreallocated portion
thereof, or (iii) make other arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and to Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any amount paid by Company for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of
principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of Company hereunder and will be applied by Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in
the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Issuing Lender or Swing Line
Lender (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among
them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance
with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed drawings under any Letters of Credit then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in
accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the
Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of Company hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

**Section 2.12 Incremental Facility** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Increased Facilities** Company may at any time after the Effective Date, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent, elect to request the establishment of one or more tranches of incremental revolving loan commitments or an increase in an existing tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments (each, an "**Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment** "; **provided** that there shall be no more than three tranches of Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments at any time in effect) and/or one or more tranches of incremental term loans or an increase in an existing tranche of
Term Loans (each, an "**Incremental Term Loan Commitment**" and together with the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments, the "**Incremental Commitments** "); *provided* that the aggregate principal amount of the
Incremental Commitments shall (i) not exceed $250,000,000 (the "**Maximum Incremental Amount**") and (ii) not be in an aggregate principal amount less than $2,500,000 per request (or, if less, the entire remaining amount permitted
to be drawn under clause (i) above) (or such lesser amount which may be approved by the Administrative Agent), and shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an
" **Increased Amount Date**") on which Company proposes that the Incremental Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative
Agent, (ii) the identity of each Lender, other Person that is an Eligible Assignee or any other Person agreed to by Company and the Administrative Agent (each, an "**Incremental Revolving Lender**" or "**Incremental Term Lender** ", as applicable, and collectively "**Incremental Lenders**") to whom Company proposes any portion of such Incremental Commitments be allocated (including in the case of Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments, any letter
of credit and/or swing line loan sub-

------

limits to be applicable thereto other than in the case of an increase in the existing Revolving Loan Commitments; *provided* that no swing line loan sub-limit may be increased without the consent of Swing Line Lender) and the amounts of such allocations; *provided* further that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments may elect to agree or to decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Commitment; *provided* further that no initial Incremental Lender shall be a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party; and (iii) the proposed use of the proceeds of such Incremental Loans (which shall be consistent with Section 2.5(a)). Such Incremental Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; *provided* that on and as of such date (A) no Event of Default shall exist immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments; (B) immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Commitments and the use of proceeds thereof, each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall, in each case, be true and correct in all material respects to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date (*provided* that if a representation and warranty is qualified as to materiality, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) and *provided* further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), in the case of Incremental Commitments incurred to finance a Limited Condition Investment, at Company's election, (1) the signing of the definitive agreement governing such Limited Condition Investment shall be subject to, as of the date of such signing, (x) no Event of Default then existing immediately after giving effect to such signing or initial funding and (y) each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, in each case, being true and correct in all material respects to the same extent as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties being true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date (*provided* that if a representation and warranty is qualified as to materiality, such representation shall be true and correct in all respects) and (2) the initial funding of such Incremental Commitments shall be subject to (x) no Event of Default under any of Section 7.1 (but only with respect to payment of principal, interest, premium and recurring fees), Section 7.6 or Section 7.7 then existing immediately after giving effect to such signing or initial funding and (y) customary "SunGard" limitations (including that the absence of a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default (other than as set forth in the foregoing clause (2)(x)) is not a condition to such funding and that only "specified acquisition representations" and "specified representations" are required to be accurate as a condition to such funding); (C) the Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each, a "**Joinder Agreement**") executed and delivered by Company, each other Loan Party and each applicable Incremental Lender, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.7; (D) Company shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.7(b) in

------

connection with the Incremental Commitments, as applicable; and (E) Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction, including any Collateral Documents as may be necessary or desirable in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent to provide the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties (including each Incremental Lender) a First Priority Lien in the Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Funding of Incremental Loans** On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Commitments are
effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Incremental Term Loan Lender shall make a loan to Company (an "**Incremental Term Loan**") in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan
Commitment, (ii) each Incremental Term Loan Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto, (iii) each Incremental Revolving Lender shall
become a Lender with respect to its Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters relating thereto (and, in the case of Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments constituting an increase in the existing Revolving Loan Commitments, each of the
Revolving Lenders shall assign to each of the Incremental Revolving Lenders, and each of the Incremental Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such
interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Lenders and
Incremental Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments to the Revolving Loan Commitments) and (iv) each Incremental Revolving
Loan Commitment shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (each, an "**Incremental Revolving Loan**") shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Notice to Lenders** The Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of Company's
notice of each Increased Amount Date and the Incremental Commitments and the Incremental Lenders in respect thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Other Terms** The terms and provisions of any Incremental Loans and Incremental Commitments that pertain
to any period on or prior to the Latest Maturity Date shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein, (x) substantially consistent with the terms of the existing Loans and Commitments, respectively, as of the date of determination (other than
with respect to fees), (y) no more favorable (taken as a whole) to the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Loans and Incremental Commitments than those applicable to the Lenders providing the existing Loans and Commitments as of the date
of determination (other than with respect to fees) or (z) otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Except as expressly set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.12, all such
Incremental Term Loans shall be treated as Term Loans (and the Incremental Term Lenders shall be treated as Term Lenders in respect thereof), in each case for all purposes hereunder and the other Loan Documents (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, calculations of "Pro Rata Share"

and "Requisite Lenders") and all Incremental Revolving Loans shall be treated as Revolving Loans (and the Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders shall be treated as Revolving Lenders in respect thereof) in each case for all purposes hereunder and the other Loan Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, calculations of "Pro Rata Share" and "Requisite Lenders"). In any event (i) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loan shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans as of the date of determination (without giving effect to any prepayments), (ii) the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (iii) the final maturity date for any Incremental Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (iv) the All-In Yield applicable to any Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by Company and the applicable Incremental Lenders and shall be set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement; *provided*, however, that in the event that the All-In Yield on any Incremental Term Loans exceeds the All-In Yield on the existing Term Loans as of the date of determination by more than 0.50%, then the interest rate margins for the existing Term Loans as of the date of determination shall automatically be increased to the extent necessary so that the All-In Yield on such existing Term Loans as of the date of determination shall be 0.50% less than the All-In Yield on such Incremental Term Loans. Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders or Persons, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and Company, to give effect the provisions of this Section 2.12. All Incremental Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be secured by the Collateral and guaranteed on a *pari passu* basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, any Incremental Term Loans borrowed under this Section 2.12 shall (i) be counted against the Maximum Incremental Amount and (ii) as are subsequently repaid or prepaid, may not be reborrowed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) **Supersession** This Section 2.12 shall supersede any provisions in Section 3.2,
Section 9.1, Section 9.5 or Section 9.6 to the contrary.

**Section 2.13 Extension** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an
" **Extension Offer**") made from time to time by Company to all Term Lenders of Term Loans with a like maturity date or Revolving Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based
on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments with a like maturity date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, on which Company proposes that such Extension shall be
effective, Company is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender's Term Loans and/or Revolving
Loan Commitments (each, an "**Extension** "; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of

------

Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted and any Extended Revolving Loan Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) except as to final maturity and pricing (which shall be determined by Company and set forth in the relevant
Extension Offer), the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Revolving Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Loan Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an "**Extended Revolving Loan Commitment** "; and the
Loans thereunder, "**Extended Revolving Loans** "), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Loan Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) and shall be identical to the terms in the original Revolving Loan
Commitments (and related outstandings), except for such terms that are applicable after the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Loan Commitments; *provided* that at no time shall there be
Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Loan Commitments, any Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments and any original Revolving Loan Commitments) that constitute more than three different tranches;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) except as to pricing, amortization and final maturity date (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding
clauses (iii) and (iv), be determined by Company and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (any such extended Term
Loans, "**Extended Term Loans** ", together with Extended Revolving Loans, "**Extension Loans**") shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, except for such terms that are
applicable after the maturity date of the non-extending Term Loans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the maturity date of any Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Loan Commitments
shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date applicable to the Loans or Commitments being extended;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the weighted average life to maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining
weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) an Extension Offer shall be in writing, executed by Company and shall specify the date on which Company
proposes that such Extension shall be effective, which date shall be prior to the applicable Latest Maturity Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) the Specified Conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Administrative Agent); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Loan
Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Loan
Commitments, as the case may be, offered to

------

be extended by Company pursuant to such Extension Offer, unless Company otherwise agrees to increase the amount of the Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by Company pursuant to this Section 2.13, (i) such Extensions
shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments or commitment reductions for purposes of Section 2.4, and (ii) the principal payment amounts (in so far as such amounts affect payments due to Lenders participating in the
Extended Term Loans) set forth in Section 2.4(a) shall be adjusted to give effect to the Extension of the relevant Term Loan. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.13
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Loan Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the
requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Section 2.4) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No consent of any Lender shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each
Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Loan Commitments (or a portion thereof), the consent
of the Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; *provided* that any amendment required to effectuate any such extension pursuant to Section 9.6 below shall also require
the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. All Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Loan Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral and guaranteed on a *pari passu* basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize
the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with Company as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches in respect of Revolving Loan Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such
technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Company in connection with the establishment of such new tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.13. This
Section 2.13 shall supersede any provisions of Section 9.1 and Section 9.6 to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In connection with any Extension, Company shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business
Days' (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative

------

management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.13 and shall deliver or cause to be delivered other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with such Extension.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **Supersession, etc.** This Section 2.13 shall supersede any requirements of any provision of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9.5 and Section 9.6) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.13. Administrative Agent and the
Lenders (including Incremental Lenders) hereby consent to each Extension and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.13 (including, without limitation, Section 9.5 and Section 9.6) payment of any interest or fees in
respect of any Extension Loans, *provided that* such consent shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of the extension request. With respect to any Extension consummated by Company pursuant to this Section 2.13 such Extension shall
not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement.

**Section 2.14 Refinancing Debt** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Company may, from time to time after the Effective Date, and subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), add one or more new term loan facilities and new revolving credit facilities ()"**Refinancing Debt** "; and the commitments in respect of such new term
facilities, the "**Refinancing Term Commitment**" and the commitments in respect of such new revolving credit facilities, the "**Refinancing Revolving Loan Commitment**") pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the
Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to Company, to refinance (i) all or any portion of any Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement and (ii) all or any portion of any Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect under this
Agreement, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; *provided* that such Refinancing Debt: (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment with the Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder; (ii) will not be guaranteed
by any Person that is not a Guarantor; (iii) will be either (x) unsecured or (y) secured by the Collateral (and no other assets) on a first lien "equal and ratable" basis with the Liens securing the Obligations or on a
"junior" basis with the Liens securing the Obligations (subject to intercreditor arrangements that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); (iv) will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by
Company and the applicable Lenders thereof; (v) (x) in the case of Refinancing Revolving Loan Commitments, will not have a final stated commitment termination date or commitment expiration date (or be subject to mandatory commitment reductions,
mandatory prepayments or scheduled amortization) that is prior to the scheduled Latest Maturity Date for the Revolving Loans being refinanced and (y) in the case of Refinancing Term Commitments, will have a final stated maturity date that is
not prior to the scheduled Latest Maturity Date of, and will have a weighted average life to maturity that is not shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of, the Term Loans being refinanced; (vi) subject to clauses (iii) through
(v) above, will have terms and conditions that are substantially identical to, or no more favorable, when taken as a whole,

------

to the lenders providing such Refinancing Debt than, the terms and conditions of the Loans or Commitments being refinanced; and (vii) the proceeds of such Refinancing Debt shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata prepayment of outstanding Loans being so refinanced (which, in the case of Revolving Loans, shall effect a corresponding permanent reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitments), in each case pursuant to Section 2.4(b) however, that such Refinancing Debt (x) may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed among Company and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the then applicable Latest Maturity Date in effect and (y) shall not have a principal or commitment amount (or accreted value) greater than the Loans being refinanced (excluding accrued interest, fees, discounts, premiums or expenses). Company shall make any request for Refinancing Debt pursuant to a written notice to the Administrative Agent specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof. Any proposed Refinancing Debt shall first be requested on a ratable basis from Existing Lenders in respect of the Loans being refinanced. At the time of sending such notice to such Lenders, Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each applicable Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than 10 Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent). Each applicable Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to participate in providing such Refinancing Debt and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its ratable portion (based on such Lender's ratable share in respect of the applicable facility) of such Refinancing Debt. Any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of any Refinancing Debt may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Refinancing Debt. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to participate in providing such Refinancing Debt. The Administrative Agent shall notify Company and each applicable Lender of the Lenders' responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested issuance of Refinancing Debt, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, if applicable (in each case, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders in respect of such Refinancing Debt pursuant to a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the
Administrative Agent) on the date thereof of the Specified Conditions and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing, legal opinions, board resolutions,
officers' certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements with respect to Company, including any supplements or amendments to the Collateral Documents providing for such Refinancing Debt to be secured thereby, consistent with those delivered on
the Effective Date under Section 4.1 or delivered from time to time pursuant to Section 5.9 and Section 5.10. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents with Company as may be necessary in order

------

to establish new Refinancing Debt and to make such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Company in connection with the establishment of such Refinancing Debt, in each case on terms consistent with and/or to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions of Section 3.2, Section 9.1, Section 9.5 or Section 9.6 to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Company in
respect of a revolving loan tranche on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit under the Revolving Loan Commitments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing
Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the
Refinancing Debt incurred pursuant thereto (including the addition of such Refinancing Debt as separate tranches hereunder and treated in a manner consistent with the tranches being refinanced, including for purposes of prepayments and voting). Any
Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Refinancing Debt, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or
appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Company, to effect the provisions of or consistent with this Section 2.14. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each
Issuing Lender, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Latest Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments to Lenders holding extended revolving
commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; *provided*, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding extended revolving commitments, be deemed to be
participation interests in respect of such extended revolving commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.

**Section 2.15 Benchmark Replacement Setting.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Benchmark Replacement** Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if
a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of
"Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark
settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of
"Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such

------

Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations** The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
Company and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The
Administrative Agent will notify the Company of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.15(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or
election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.15, 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 or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole
discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.15.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark** Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other
Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not
displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has
provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or
analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either
(A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark
(including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously
removed tenor.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **Benchmark Unavailability Period** Upon the Company's receipt of notice of the commencement of a
Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Company may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the
Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the
applicable Interest Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such
Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

Lenders has been named as additional insured and/or lender's loss payee thereunder.

ITT, U.S. Borax Company, Pennsylvania Glass Sand Corporation or Ottawa Silica Company, in respect to Silica Related Claims (the "**Silica Related Claims Policies** "). In regard thereto, Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will

Qualified ECP Guarantor, intends that this Section 5.15(b) constitute, and this Section 5.15(b) shall be deemed to constitute, a "keepwell, support, or other agreement" for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of

preclude Administrative Agent or Lenders from exercising any of the rights or remedies available to them under any of the Loan Documents, even if the conditions set forth in this paragraph are met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Right to Cure** Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in ARTICLE VII, in the event that

Financial Covenant with respect to any period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters that includes the Fiscal Quarter for which the Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the amount of
the Specified Equity Contribution. If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, Company shall then be in compliance with the Financial Covenant (and shall deliver to Administrative Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate demonstrating
such compliance), Company shall be deemed to have complied with the Financial Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or
default of the Financial Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement (including any breach of a representation or warranty that the Loan Parties were in compliance with the Financial Covenant as of such date).
Until the 10<sup>th</sup> day following the date on which the Compliance Certificate in respect of the applicable Fiscal Quarter is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(d), (x) none of
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall exercise the right to accelerate the Loans or terminate the Commitments and (y) none of Administrative Agent, any other Lender or other Secured Party shall exercise any right to foreclose on or take
possession of the Collateral solely on the basis of an Event of Default having occurred and being continuing as a result of a breach of the Financial Covenant in or as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter (including as a result of any breach of a
representation or warranty that the Loan Parties were in compliance with the Financial Covenant during or as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four-Fiscal Quarter period there shall be at least two Fiscal Quarters in which no Cure Right is exercised, (ii) no more than four Specified Equity Contributions may be made after the Effective Date and (iii) with respect to this Agreement, the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the minimum amount required to cause Company to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant.

powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or
Company; and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **No Responsibility for Certain Matters** No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution,

act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and

such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions; *provided that* no Agent shall
be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and

experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against an Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.6).

and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include
each Agent in its individual capacity. An Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of commercial banking, investment banking, trust, financial advisory or other
business with Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Company for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account
for the same to Lenders.

**Section 8.3 Independent Investigation by Lenders; No Responsibility For Appraisal of Creditworthiness** 

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

If Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders and Company that no Person has accepted such appointment as successor Administrative Agent, such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with Administrative Agent's notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, except that any Collateral held by Administrative Agent will continue to be held by it until a Person shall have accepted the appointment of successor Administrative Agent and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by, to or through each Lender directly, until such time as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 8.5. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement (if not already discharged as set forth above). After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or to enforce any Guaranty, it being

------

understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents and the Guaranties may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof and (B) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Administrative Agent at such sale.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial Proceeding relative to Parent, Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, 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 Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceeding or otherwise

to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agents and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Agents under Section 2.3 and Section 9.2) allowed in such judicial Proceeding, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to collect and receive any moneys 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 Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agents under Section 2.3 and Section 9.2.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize 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 Lenders or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such Proceeding.

**Section 8.9 Erroneous Payments** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Issuing Lender, or any Person who has received funds on
behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender (any such Lender, Issuing Bank or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a "**Payment Recipient**") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion
(whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates
were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether
transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "**Erroneous Payment**") and (y) demands in writing the return of such
Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous
Payment unless such demand is made within five (5) Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent
pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.9 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds
on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the
Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the
Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment
Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Lender or any Person who has received
funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees,
distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by
the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its
Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error
and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect
to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) such Lender or Issuing Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective
behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of
such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.9(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.9(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to Section 8.9(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Lender or Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal,
interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably
subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the
rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be) under the Loan
Documents with respect to such amount (the "**Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights**") and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Company; provided that
this Section 8.9 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Company relative to the amount (or timing for payment) of the
Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such
Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document), the
Company for the purpose of a payment on the Obligations.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous
Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the
return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.9 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Lender, the termination of the applicable Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

**ARTICLE IX** 

**MISCELLANEOUS** 

**Section 9.1 Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations in Loans** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **General** This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders (it being understood that Lenders' rights of assignment are subject to the further provisions of this Section 9.1). Neither
Company's rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by Company without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Company without such consent shall be null
and void). No sale, assignment or transfer or participation of any Letter of Credit or any participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in the Revolving Loan Commitment
and the Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lender effecting such sale, assignment, transfer or participation. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as provided in Section 2.1(a)(iii) and Section 9.5, the Swing
Line Loan Commitment and the Swing Line Loans of Swing Line Lender may not be sold, assigned or transferred as described below to any Person other than a successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to the extent contemplated by
Section 8.5. 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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Affiliates of each of Administrative Agent and Lenders and Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Assignments** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) **Amounts and Terms of Assignments** Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; *provided that* (A), except (1) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this

------

Agreement or (2) in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Exposure or Revolving Loan Exposure, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender and the assignee subject to each such assignment shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Loan, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment of a Term Loan (in each case aggregating concurrent assignments by or to two or more Affiliated Funds for purposes of determining such minimum amount), unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.1, Section 7.6 or Section 7.7 has occurred and is continuing, Company otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, and any assignment of all or any portion of a Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit participation shall be made only as an assignment of the same proportionate part of the assigning Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit participations, (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless the assignee is an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of the assignor, in which case no fee shall be required and no more than one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Affiliated Funds), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, including such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(iv) and (D), except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, each of (1) Administrative Agent, (2) if no Event of Default under Section 7.1, Section 7.6 or Section 7.7 has occurred and is continuing, Company and (3) solely in the case of assignments of all or any portion of a Revolving Loan Commitment, Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit participations, Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender, shall have consented thereto (with all such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); *provided that* no consent of Company shall be required for any assignments made during the initial syndication of the Loans to any lenders (other than Disqualified Institutions) set forth on the initial allocation list provided by Administrative Agent to Company on or prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign, or sell a participation in, all or any portion of its rights or obligations hereunder to any Disqualified Institution, and any attempted or purported sale, transfer, negotiation, assignment or participation to a Disqualified Institution (or, subject to clause (iv) below, otherwise without the consent of Company to the extent that Company's consent is required hereunder) shall be null and void.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) **Effect of Assignments** Upon such execution, delivery and consent, from and after the effective date
specified in such Assignment Agreement, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights
which survive the termination of this Agreement under Section 9.9(b)) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; *provided that*, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if such Lender is Issuing Lender, such Lender shall
continue to have all rights and obligations of Issuing Lender until the cancellation or expiration of any Letters of Credit issued by it and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder). The assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of
such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its Notes, if any, to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall, if so requested by the assignee and/or the assigning Lender in accordance with
Section 2.1(e), be issued to the assignee and/or to the assigning Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit III-A, Exhibit III-B or Exhibit III-C annexed hereto, as the case may be, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the amounts of the new Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be, of the
assignee and/or the assigning Lender. Other than as provided in Section 2.1(a)(iii) and Section 9.5, any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.1(b)
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 Section 9.1(c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) **Acceptance by Administrative Agent; Recordation in Register** Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.1(b)(i) and any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United
States federal income tax withholding matters that such assignee may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(b), Administrative Agent shall, if Administrative Agent and Company have consented to the assignment
evidenced thereby (in each case to the extent such consent is required pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i)), (A) accept such Assignment Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any
required consent of Administrative Agent to such assignment), (B) record the information contained therein in the Register and (C) give prompt notice thereof to Company. Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment
Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this Section 9.1(b)(iii). No assignment shall be effective unless recorded in the Register.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) **Deemed Consent by Company** If the consent of Company to an assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is
required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified in Section 9.1(b)(i)), Company shall be deemed to have given its consent ten Business Days after the date notice thereof
has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Company prior to such tenth Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Participations** Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, Company or Administrative Agent,
sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a Restricted Person or Disqualified Institution) in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement; *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) Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; *provided that* such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver directly affecting (A) an extension of the regularly scheduled maturity of any portion of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan allocated to such
participation, (B) a reduction of the principal amount of or the rate of interest payable on any Loan allocated to such participation or (C) an increase in the Commitment allocated to such participation. Subject to the further provisions
of this Section 9.1(c), Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.6(d) and Section 2.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
Section 9.1(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.5 as though it were a
Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section shall maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of each Participant's participation interest with respect
to the Loans and the Commitments (each, a "Participant Register"). 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 a participation with respect to such Loans or Commitments for all purposes under this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. In maintaining the Participant Register, such Lender shall be acting as the agent
of Company solely for purposes of applicable U.S. federal income tax law and undertakes no duty, responsibility or obligation to Company (without limitation, in no event shall such Lender be a fiduciary of Company

------

for any purpose, except that such Lender shall maintain the Participant Register); provided, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish in connection with a Tax audit that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or, if different, under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. No participation shall be effective unless recorded in the applicable Participant Register. The parties hereto agree and intend that the Loans shall be treated as being in "registered form" for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code (including Internal Revenue Code Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), 881(c)(2), and 4701) and the Participant Register shall be maintained in accordance with such intention. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.6(d) and Section 2.7 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Company's prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.7 unless Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Company, to comply with Section 2.7(b)(iv) as though it were a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Pledges and Assignments** Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its Loans, and the other Obligations owed to such Lender, to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having
jurisdiction; *provided that* (i) no Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment or pledge and (ii) in no event shall any assignee or pledgee be considered to be a
"Lender" or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **SPC Grants** Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "**Granting Lender**") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to Administrative Agent and Company (an "**SPC**") the option to provide all or any part of any Loan
that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; *provided that* (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such
option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (A) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any
SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of Company under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.7), (B) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar
payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable and (C) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain
the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the applicable

------

Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation Proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (1) with notice to, but without prior consent of Company and Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (2) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) **Information** Each Lender may furnish any information concerning Parent and its Subsidiaries in the
possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and Participants (including prospective assignees and Participants), subject to Section 9.19.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) **Agreements of Lenders** Each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof hereby agrees, and each Lender
that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to agree, (i) that it is an Eligible Assignee described in clause (b) of the definition thereof; (ii) that it has experience and expertise in the making
of or purchasing loans such as the Loans; (iii) that it will make or purchase Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.1, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control) and
(iv) it is not a Disqualified Institution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) **Disqualified Institutions** Upon the request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent is permitted to make
available to such Lender the list of Disqualified Institutions.

**Section 9.2 Expenses** 

Company agrees to pay promptly (a) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Administrative Agent of negotiation, preparation and execution of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto; (b) all costs and expenses of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Company (including any opinions requested by Agents or Lenders as to any legal matters arising hereunder) and of Company's performance of and compliance with all agreements and conditions on its part to be performed or complied with under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including with respect to confirming compliance with environmental, insurance and solvency requirements; (c) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of one primary counsel to Administrative Agent and one reasonably necessary local counsel in any material jurisdiction in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by Company; (d) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of creating and perfecting Liens in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured

------

Parties pursuant to any Collateral Document, including filing and recording fees, expenses and Taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, title insurance premiums, and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent and of counsel providing any opinions that Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders may reasonably request in accordance with the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder in respect of the Collateral Documents or the Liens created pursuant thereto; (e) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants or appraisers and any environmental or other consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained (with the consent of Company, not to be unreasonably withheld) by Administrative Agent or its counsel) of obtaining and reviewing any appraisals provided for under Section 5.8(b) and any environmental audits or reports provided for under Section 5.8(a); (f) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; (g) all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments; (h) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of accountants, advisors and consultants, incurred by Administrative Agent and its counsel relating to efforts to (i) evaluate or assess any Loan Party, its business or financial condition and (ii) protect, evaluate, assess or dispose of any of the Collateral; and (i) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys' fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel), fees, costs and expenses of accountants, advisors and consultants and costs of settlement, incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from any Loan Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Loan Documents) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy Proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Company shall not be required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than one firm of outside counsel (in addition, one firm of necessary local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) for Administrative Agent and one separate firm of outside counsel for all Lenders, taken as a whole.

**Section 9.3 Indemnity** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 9.2, whether or not the Transactions shall be
consummated, Company agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees' selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless Agents and Lenders, and the Officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents, advisors and Affiliates of Agents and Lenders
(collectively called the "**Indemnitees** "), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); *provided that* Company shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to
any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee or its related parties as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As used herein, "**Indemnified Liabilities**" means, collectively, any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims (including Environmental Claims), costs (including the costs of any investigation, study, sampling, testing, abatement, cleanup, removal,
remediation or other response action necessary to remove, remediate, clean up or abate any Hazardous Materials Activity), expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial Proceeding commenced or threatened by any
Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any
federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Transactions (including Lenders' agreement to make the Loans hereunder or the use or
intended use of the proceeds thereof or the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder or the use or intended use of any thereof, the failure of Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether
rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Government Authority, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of
the Guaranties), (ii) the statements contained in the commitment letter delivered by any Lender to Company with respect thereto or (iii) any Environmental Claim or any Hazardous Materials Activity relating to or arising from, directly or
indirectly, any past or present activity, operation, land ownership, or practice of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; except to the extent such Environmental Claim or Hazardous Materials Activity arises solely from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this
Section 9.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, Company shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

**Section 9.4 Set-Off** 

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default each of Lenders and their Affiliates is hereby authorized by Company at any time or from time to time, with prompt notice to Company or to any other Person, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or any Affiliate of that Lender to or for the credit or the account of Company and each other Loan Party against and on account of the Obligations of Company or any other Loan Party to that Lender (or any Affiliate of that Lender) or to any other Lender (or any Affiliate of any other Lender) under this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other Loan Documents to the extent then due and payable, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder.

**Section 9.5 Ratable Sharing** 

Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary or mandatory payment (other than a payment or prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as Cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the "**Aggregate Amounts Due**" to such Lender) that is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall, unless such proportionately greater payment is required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement, (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase assignments (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of an assignment simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) of the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; *provided that* (i) if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such assignments shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (ii) the foregoing provisions shall not apply to (A) any payment made by Company pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment (other than an assignment pursuant to this Section 9.5) of or the sale of a participation in any of its Obligations to any Eligible Assignee or Participant pursuant to Section 9.1(b). Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any purchaser of an assignment so purchased may exercise any and all rights of a Lender as to such assignment as fully as if that Lender had complied with the provisions of Section 9.1(b) with respect to such assignment. In order to further evidence such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment provisions set forth above), each purchasing Lender and each selling Lender agree to enter into an Assignment Agreement at the request of a selling Lender or a purchasing Lender, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Administrative Agent: amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of ARTICLE VIII or of any other provision
of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of Administrative Agent; *provided that* nothing contained in this Section 9.6 will require Administrative Agent to seek the consent of any Lender

technical amendments and modifications occur prior to the delivery of audited financial statements for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2023 pursuant to Section 5.1(c);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) Supermajority Requisite Lenders: amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Article VI (other than

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **General** Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender,
execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Company in any
case shall entitle Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 9.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at
the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by Company, on Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Incremental and Extension Loans** Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is hereby
understood and agreed that the consent of Requisite Lenders shall not be required to implement the terms and provisions of Section 2.12 and/or Section 2.13.

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

**Section 9.8 Notices; Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted
to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile in
complete and legible form, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; *provided that* notices to Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender shall not
be effective until received. For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party's name on the signature pages hereof or (i) as to Company and Administrative Agent, such other address as shall
be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to Administrative Agent. Electronic
mail and Internet and intranet websites may be used to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information as provided in Section 5.1. Administrative Agent or Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The words "*execute,*" "*execution,*" "*signed,* "
" *signature,*" and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment Agreements, amendments or other
modifications, Notices of Borrowings, waivers or consents) are deemed to include Electronic Signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Administrative Agent, and any other
Electronic Record. This Agreement and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement (each a "**Communication** "), including
Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Loan Parties agree that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid
and binding on each such Loan Party to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against
such Loan Party in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered or a paper-based recordkeeping system was used, as the case may be. Any Communication may be executed in as many
counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one (1) and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include,
without limitation, use or acceptance by Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed
Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties may, at its option, create one (1) or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged
Electronic Record ()"**Electronic Copy** "), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the such Person's business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record,
including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent is
under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; *provided*, *further*, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to
the extent Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party
without further verification and (ii) upon the request of Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, "**Electronic Record** "
and "**Electronic Signature**" shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, in the "Definitions" subchapter (15 USC §7006) of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, as it may be
amended from time to time.

**Section 9.9 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder.

forth in Section 2.6(d) ("Compensation For Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods"), Section 2.7 ("Increased Costs; Taxes; Capital Adequacy"), Section 9.2
("Expenses"), Section 9.3 ("Indemnity") and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Section 8.4 ("Right to Indemnity") and Section 9.5 ("Ratable Sharing") shall survive the payment of the Loans,
the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

**Section 9.10 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative** 

No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

**Section 9.11 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside** 

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

**Section 9.12 Severability** 

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

**Section 9.13 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders' Rights; Damage Waiver** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or
Commitments of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders, or Lenders and Company, as a partnership, an
association, a Joint Venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and, subject to Section 9.6, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its
rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To the extent permitted by law, Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement (including Section 2.1(c) hereof), any other Loan
Document, any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by
it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

Party shall deliver an Officer's Certificate (i) stating that the Collateral or the Capital Stock subject to such disposition is being sold or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms hereof and (ii) specifying the
Collateral or Capital Stock being sold or otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction. Upon the receipt of such Officer's Certificate, Administrative Agent shall, at such Loan Party's expense, so long as Administrative Agent is not
aware that the facts stated in such Officer's Certificate are not true and correct, execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral or such Subsidiary Guaranty, as may be reasonably requested by such Loan Party.

**Section 9.15 Applicable Law**

shall any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Company or any of its Subsidiaries. In addition, Administrative Agent and Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and customarily disclosed information about
this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to Administrative Agent and Lenders, and Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates may place customary "tombstone"
advertisements (which may include any of

------

Company's or its Subsidiaries' trade names or corporate logos) subject to approval by Company in publications of its choice (including without limitation "e-tombstones" published or otherwise circulated in electronic form and related hyperlinks to any of Company's or its Subsidiaries' corporate websites) at its own expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (i) Borrower Materials may include material non-public information concerning Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws.

**Section 9.20 USA Patriot Act** 

Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

**Section 9.21 Usury Savings Clause** 

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

**Section 9.22 Counterparts; Effectiveness** 

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.

------

**Section 9.23 Successor Issuing Lender** 

Issuing Lender may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof) and Company, such resignation to be effective on the date that is the later of (a) the thirtieth day following delivery of such written notice to Administrative Agent and Company and (b) the appointment of and acceptance by a successor Issuing Lender, as provided below; *provided, however, that* if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, Issuing Lender may, upon prior written notice to Company and Administrative Agent, resign as Issuing Lender effective at the close of business (New York City time) on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than three Business Days after the date of such notice), it being understood and agreed that such resignation by Issuing Lender will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of any Loan Party or any Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to Issuing Lender. To the extent Administrative Agent fails to appoint a successor Issuing Lender that accepts such appointment within such time, Issuing Lender may appoint a Revolving Lender as successor Issuing Lender. Unless Issuing Lender is Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to Company and Administrative Agent and signed by Requisite Revolving Lenders, such removal to become effective immediately upon the appointment of and acceptance by a successor Issuing Lender, as provided below. Upon any such notice of resignation or removal, Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon five Business Days' notice to Company, to appoint a successor Issuing Lender. Any appointment of a successor Issuing Lender, whether by Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, shall be subject to consent of Company and Requisite Revolving Lenders, which, in either case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Issuing Lender hereunder by a successor Issuing Lender and consent of Company and Requisite Revolving Lenders, that successor Issuing Lender shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Issuing Lender and the retiring or removed Issuing Lender shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement; *provided that*, anything contained in this Section 9.23 or otherwise in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the resigning or removed Issuing Lender shall continue to have all rights and obligations of Issuing Lender, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued prior to the effective date of the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender until the cancellation or expiration of such Letter of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder.

**Section 9.24 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if
applicable:

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

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

**Section 9.25 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs** 

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "**Hedge Agreement**" and each such QFC a "**Hedge Agreement**"), 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 or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) in the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "**Covered Party** ")
becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and
any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC
Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) 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.

**LETTERS OF CREDIT** 

**Section 10.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit and Lenders' Purchase of Participations Therein** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Letters of Credit** Company may request, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1, from
time to time during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the 30<sup>th</sup> day prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, that Issuing Lender issue Letters of Credit payable on
a sight basis for the account of Company for the general corporate purposes of Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Company herein
set forth, Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit (and, if applicable, permit to remain outstanding any Existing Letter of Credit on the Effective Date) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1; *provided that* Company shall not request that Issuing Lender issue or permit to remain outstanding on the Effective Date (and Issuing Lender shall not issue or permit to remain outstanding on the Effective Date):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance or outstanding Existing Letter of Credit, the
Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount then in effect;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance or outstanding Existing Letter of Credit, the
Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $30,000,000;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any Standby Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than the earlier of (A) ten days prior to the
Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (B) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit; *provided that*, the immediately preceding clause (B) shall not prevent any Issuing Lender from
agreeing that a Standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each unless such Issuing Lender elects not to extend for any such additional period; *provided further that* such
Issuing Lender may elect not to extend such Standby Letter of Credit if it has knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and has not been waived in accordance with Section 9.6) at the time such Issuing Lender must elect
whether or not to allow such extension;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any Standby Letter of Credit issued for the purpose of supporting (A) trade payables or (B) any
Indebtedness constituting "antecedent debt" (as that term is used in Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) any Commercial Letter of Credit having an expiration date (A) later than the earlier of (1) the date
which is 20 days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit or (B) that is otherwise unacceptable to the applicable Issuing
Lender in its reasonable discretion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) any Letter of Credit that, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender would
violate any applicable laws or internal policies of Issuing Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Mechanics of Issuance** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) **Request for Issuance** Whenever Company desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit (which, for the
avoidance of doubt, shall exclude the Existing Letters of Credit which remain outstanding on the Effective Date), Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Request for Issuance no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least three
Business Days (in the case of Standby Letters of Credit) or five Business Days (in the case of Commercial Letters of Credit), or in each case such shorter period as may be agreed to by Issuing Lender in any particular instance, in advance of the
proposed date of issuance. Issuing Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of

------

Credit or any documents described in or attached to the Request for Issuance. In furtherance of the provisions of Section 9.8, and not in limitation thereof, Company may submit Requests for Issuance by telefacsimile and Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender may rely and act upon any such Request for Issuance without receiving an original signed copy thereof. No Letter of Credit shall require payment against a conforming demand for payment to be made thereunder on the same Business Day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the office of Issuing Lender to which such demand for payment is required to be presented is located) on which such demand for payment is presented if such presentation is made after 11:00 A.M. (in the time zone of such office of the Issuing Lender) on such Business Day.

Company shall notify the applicable Issuing Lender (and Administrative Agent, if Administrative Agent is not Issuing Lender) prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit in the event that any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Request for Issuance is no longer true and correct as of the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit Company shall be deemed to have re-certified, as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Request for Issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) **Determination of Issuing Lender** Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of a Request for Issuance pursuant
to Section 10.1(b)(i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, in the event Administrative Agent elects to issue such Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify Company, and Administrative Agent shall be the Issuing
Lender with respect thereto. In the event that Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, elects not to issue such Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify Company, whereupon Company may request any other Revolving Lender
to issue such Letter of Credit by delivering to such Revolving Lender a copy of the applicable Request for Issuance. Any Revolving Lender so requested to issue such Letter of Credit shall promptly notify Company, Administrative Agent and the
Revolving Lenders by telefacsimile, whether or not, in its sole discretion, it has elected to issue such Letter of Credit, and any such Revolving Lender that so elects to issue such Letter of Credit shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto.
In the event that all other Revolving Lenders shall have declined to issue such Letter of Credit, notwithstanding the prior election of Administrative Agent not to issue such Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall be obligated to issue such
Letter of Credit and shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto, notwithstanding the fact that the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Letter of Credit and with respect to all other Letters of Credit issued by Administrative Agent,
when aggregated with Administrative Agent's outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, may exceed Administrative Agent's Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) **Issuance of Letter of Credit** Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with Section 9.6) of the
conditions set forth in Section 3.2 and Section 3.3, Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with Issuing Lender's standard operating procedures.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) **Notification to Revolving Lenders** Upon the issuance of or amendment to any Standby Letter of Credit,
Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Company of such issuance or amendment in writing and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice (or, if Administrative
Agent is the Issuing Lender, together with such notice), Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender in writing of such issuance or amendment and the amount of such Revolving Lender's respective participation in such Standby Letter
of Credit or amendment, and, if so requested by a Revolving Lender, Administrative Agent shall provide such Lender with a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. In the case of Commercial Letters of Credit, in the event that Issuing Lender is
other than Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender will send by facsimile transmission to Administrative Agent, promptly upon the first Business Day of each week, a report of its daily aggregate maximum amount available for drawing under
Commercial Letters of Credit for the previous week. Upon receipt of such report, Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender in writing of the contents thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Revolving Lenders ' Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit** Immediately upon
the issuance of each Letter of Credit and, with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit, on the Effective Date, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the Issuing Lender a participation in
such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of the maximum amount that is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder.

**Section 10.2 Letter of Credit Fees** 

Company agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued hereunder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) With respect to each Letter of Credit, (i) a fronting fee, payable directly to Issuing Lender for its own
account, equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and (ii) a Letter of Credit fee, payable to Administrative Agent for the account of Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata
Shares, equal to the applicable Term SOFR Margin for Revolving Loans multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, each such fronting fee or Letter of Credit fee to be payable in arrears on and to (but excluding)
each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year and computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) With respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each payment of a drawing made
thereunder (without duplication of the fees payable under clause (a) of this Section 10.2), documentary and processing charges payable directly to Issuing Lender for its own account in accordance with Issuing Lender's standard
schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

------

For purposes of calculating any fees payable under clause (a) of this Section 10.2, the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be determined as of the close of business (New York City time) on any date of determination.

**Section 10.3 Drawings and Reimbursement of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect to Drawings** In determining whether to honor any drawing
under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in
accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Reimbursement by Company of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit** In the event Issuing Lender has
determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, Issuing Lender shall immediately notify Company and Administrative Agent, and Company shall reimburse Issuing Lender on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on
which such drawing is honored (the "**Reimbursement Date**") in same day funds equal to the amount of such payment; *provided that*, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Company
shall have notified Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that Company intends to reimburse Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment with funds other than the
proceeds of Revolving Loans, Company shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent requesting Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date equal to the amount of
such payment and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 3.2(b), Revolving Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such payment, the
proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment; *provided further that* if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by such Issuing Lender on the
Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, Company shall reimburse Issuing Lender, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such payment over the aggregate amount of such Revolving
Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 10.3(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Company shall retain
any and all rights it may have against any Revolving Lender resulting from the failure of such Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 10.3(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Payment by Lenders of Unreimbursed Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) **Payment by Revolving Lenders** In the event that Company shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing
Lender as provided in Section 10.3(b) in an amount equal to the amount of any payment by Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify each Revolving
Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Revolving Lender's respective participation therein

------

based on such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share. Each Revolving Lender (other than Issuing Lender) shall make available to Administrative Agent an amount equal to its respective participation, in same day funds, at the Funding and Payment Office, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the first Business Day after the date notified by Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall make available to Issuing Lender, in same day funds, at the office of Issuing Lender on such Business Day the aggregate amount of the payments so received by Administrative Agent. In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent on such Business Day the amount of such Revolving Lender's participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 10.3(c), Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by such Issuing Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 10.3(c) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of Administrative Agent to recover, for the benefit of Revolving Lenders, from Issuing Lender any amounts made available to Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 10.3(c) in the event that it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by Issuing Lender in respect of which payments were made by Revolving Lenders constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) **Distribution to Lenders of Reimbursements Received From Company** In the event Issuing Lender shall have
been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 10.3(c)(i) for all or any portion of any payment by Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, and Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender thereafter receives any payments
from Company in reimbursement of payment under the Letter of Credit, to the extent any such payment is received by such Issuing Lender, it shall distribute such payment to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall distribute to each other
Revolving Lender that has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 10.3(c)(i) with respect to such payment such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Administrative Agent or by such Issuing Lender
from Company. Any such distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at the account specified in Section 2.4(c)(iii).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Interest on Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) **Payment of Interest by Company** Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, with respect to payments
under any Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Lender in respect of each such payment from the date a drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by Company (including any such
reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 10.3(b)) at a rate equal to (A) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, the rate then in effect under this
Agreement with respect to

------

Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (B) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Interest payable pursuant to this Section 10.3(d)(i) shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) **Distribution of Interest Payments by Administrative Agent** Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent
of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 10.3(d)(i) with respect to a payment under a Letter of Credit, (A) Administrative Agent shall distribute to (1) each Revolving Lender (including Issuing Lender) out of the interest
received by Administrative Agent in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which Issuing Lender is reimbursed for the amount of such payment (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of
Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 10.3(b)), the amount that such Revolving Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Letter of Credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period
pursuant to Section 10.2 if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit and (2) Issuing Lender the amount, if any, remaining after payment of the amounts applied pursuant to clause (1) and (B) in the event Issuing
Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 10.3(c)(i) for all or any portion of such payment, Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Revolving Lender (including Issuing Lender) that has paid all
amounts payable by it under Section 10.3(c)(i) with respect to such payment such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of that portion of such payment so made by Revolving Lenders for
the period from the date on which Issuing Lender was so reimbursed to but excluding the date on which such portion of such payment is reimbursed by Company. Any such distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at the account specified in
Section 2.4(c)(iii).

**Section 10.4 Obligations Absolute** 

The obligation of Company to reimburse Issuing Lender for payments under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 10.3(b) and the obligations of Revolving Lenders under Section 10.3(c)(i) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which
Company or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Issuing Lender or other Revolving Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a
Revolving Lender, against Company, whether in connection with this Agreement, the Transactions or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Company or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of
Credit was procured);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) payment by Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

*provided*, in each case, that payment by Issuing Lender under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender under the circumstances in question (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

**Section 10.5 Nature of Issuing Lenders' Duties** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) As between Company and Issuing Lender, Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the

accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or
in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing
under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender, including any act or omission by a Government Authority, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting
of, any of such Issuing Lender's rights or powers hereunder.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth in
Section 10.5(a), any action taken or omitted by Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put Issuing
Lender under any resulting liability to Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.5, Company shall retain any and all
rights they may have against Issuing Lender for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. Completes Amendment and Restatement of $1.1 Billion Credit Agreement** 

**KATY, Texas, March 23, 2023 –** U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SLCA), a diversified industrial minerals company and the leading last-mile logistics provider to the oil and gas industry, today announced that it has entered into a fourth amended and restated Credit Agreement of $1.1 billion. The Credit Facility consists of a $950 million senior secured Term Loan B due March 2030, and as part of the transaction, the Company has also increased its Revolving Credit Facility to $150 million from $100 million due March 2028. The Company used the net proceeds from the Term Loan, along with excess cash on the balance sheet, to extinguish $109 million of outstanding debt and for associated refinancing fees.

Bryan Shinn, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to opportunistically refinance our debt two years ahead of maturity as we continue to strengthen our balance sheet and improve our leverage profile. Including this transaction, U.S. Silica will have extinguished more than $250 million of long-term debt over the last nine months. Our Company remains well positioned to continue to generate strong earnings and cash flow, affording us the ability to further reduce debt and invest in the organic growth of our Industrial and Specialty Products segment."

**<u>Advisors</u>**

The transaction was arranged by BNP Paribas Securities Corp., MUFG Bank, Ltd., TCBI Securities, Inc., and KeyBank National Association. BNP Paribas served as administrative agent.
