 WELLS FARGO &
COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, an amount equal to the Redemption Amount (as defined below) on the Stated Maturity Date (as defined below), unless this Security is redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity

Contingent Coupon Rate (as defined below) until the earlier of the Stated Maturity Date and the Optional Redemption Date (as defined below), if any. The “Initial Stated Maturity Date” shall be December 30, 2027. If the Final
Calculation Day (as defined below) is not postponed, the Initial Stated Maturity Date will be the “Stated Maturity Date.” If the Final Calculation Day is postponed, the “Stated Maturity Date” shall be the later of
(i) the Initial Stated Maturity Date and (ii) the third Business Day (as defined below) after the last Final Calculation Day as postponed. 

“Face Amount” shall mean, when used with respect to this Security, the amount set forth on the face of this
Security as its “Face Amount.” 

 Optional Redemption 

The Company may, at its option, redeem this Security, in whole but not in part, on any Optional Redemption Date (as defined
below) by giving notice to the Holder hereof on or before the Calculation Day (as defined below) immediately preceding that Optional Redemption Date. If this Security is redeemed, the Holder hereof will receive the Optional Redemption Price (as
defined below) plus a final Contingent Coupon Payment (as defined below), if any, on the applicable Optional Redemption Date. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price plus the final Contingent Coupon Payment, if
any, this Security will cease to be outstanding on such Optional Redemption Date, no additional Contingent Coupon Payments will be payable on this Security and the Holder hereof will have no further rights under this Security after such Optional
Redemption Date. The “Optional Redemption Price” is equal to the Face Amount of this Security. The “Optional Redemption Dates” shall be the Contingent Coupon Payment Dates (as defined below) following each
Calculation Day scheduled to occur from December 2018 to September 2027, inclusive. 
 Payment of Contingent Coupon Payments, the Redemption Amount
and the Optional Redemption Price 
 On each quarterly Contingent Coupon Payment Date, the Company shall pay a
Contingent Coupon Payment if, and only if, the Closing Level (as defined below) of the Lowest Performing Index (as defined below) on the related Calculation Day is greater than or equal to its Coupon Threshold Level (as defined below). A
“Contingent Coupon Payment,” if payable as provided herein, shall be equal to the product of (i) the Face Amount of this Security, (ii) the Contingent Coupon Rate, and (iii) 90/360. The “Contingent Coupon
Payment Dates” shall be the third Business Day following each Calculation Day, as each such Calculation Day may be postponed as herein provided, provided that the Contingent Coupon Payment Date with respect to the Final Calculation Day will
be the Stated Maturity Date. If a Calculation Day is postponed with respect to one or more Indices, the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date will be three Business Days after the last Calculation Day as postponed. The “Contingent Coupon
Rate” is 10.00% per annum. Any Contingent Coupon Payments will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. 

Any Contingent Coupon Payment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Contingent Coupon Payment Date
will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Contingent Coupon Payment next preceding such
Contingent Coupon Payment Date. The Regular Record Date for a Contingent Coupon Payment Date shall be the date one Business Day prior to such Contingent Coupon Payment Date. 

Any Contingent Coupon Payment not punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed
by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Securities of this series

may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

Payment of any Contingent Coupon Payment on this Security will be made in immediately available funds at the office or agency
of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, payment of any Contingent Coupon Payment may be paid by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such
Person’s last address as it appears in the Security Register or by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated by such Person. Payments of any Contingent Coupon Payment and the Redemption Amount or the Optional Redemption Price,
as applicable, on this Security at Maturity will be made against presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota and at any other office or agency maintained by
the Company for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Security is a Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary, any payments on this Security will be made to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately
available funds. 
 Payment of the Redemption Amount or the Optional Redemption Price, as applicable, and any Contingent
Coupon Payments on this Security will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

If this Security is not redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity Date as provided above under “Optional Redemption,”
the “Redemption Amount” of this Security will equal: 
  

	 	•	 	 if the Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day (as defined below) is greater
than or equal to its Downside Threshold Level: the Face Amount; or 

  

	 	•	 	 if the Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day is less than its Downside
Threshold Level: 

  

																											
		 		 		 		 		 		 		 		 		 		 		 		 		 	
		 		 		 		 	 	 	Face Amount	 	  ×        	 	Performance Factor of the Lowest Performing	 	 	 		 		 		 		 	
		 		 		 		 	 	 	 	 	Index on the Final Calculation Day	 	 	 		 		 		 		 	

 All calculations with respect to the Redemption Amount will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth,
with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., 0.000005 would be rounded to 0.00001); and the Redemption Amount will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent
rounded upward. 
 “Index” shall mean each of the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 2000 Index and the EURO
STOXX 50 Index. 
 The “Pricing Date” shall mean December 27, 2017. 

  
 3 

 The “Lowest Performing Index” for any Calculation Day will
be the Index with the lowest Performance Factor on that Calculation Day (as such Calculation Day may be postponed for one or more Indices). 

The “Performance Factor” with respect to an Index on any Calculation Day is its Closing Level on such
Calculation Day divided by its Starting Level (expressed as a percentage). 
 The “Starting Level” with
respect to the S&P 500 Index is 2682.62, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date, with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 1543.937, its Closing Level on the Pricing Date, and with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is 3550.17, its Closing Level
on the Pricing Date. 
 The “Ending Level” of an Index will be its Closing Level on the Final Calculation
Day. 
 The “Coupon Threshold Level” with respect to the S&P 500 Index is 2011.965, which is equal to
75% of its Starting Level, with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 1157.95275, which is equal to 75% of its Starting Level, and with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is 2662.6275, which is equal to 75% of its Starting Level.

its Starting Level, with respect to the Russell 2000 Index is 926.3622, which is equal to 60% of its Starting Level, and with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index is 2130.102, which is equal to 60% of its Starting Level. 

The “Closing Level” with respect to each Index on any Trading Day means the official closing level of that
Index reported by the relevant Index Sponsor on such Trading Day, as obtained by the Calculation Agent on such Trading Day from the licensed third-party market data vendor contracted by the Calculation Agent at such time; in particular, taking into
account the decimal precision and/or rounding convention employed by such licensed third-party market data vendor on such date, subject to the provisions set forth below under “—Market Disruption
Events” and “—Discontinuance of an Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation.” 
 “Index
Sponsor” shall mean the sponsor or publisher of an Index. 
 “Business Day” shall mean a day,
other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in New York, New York. 

The “Calculation Days” shall be the 27th day of
each March, June, September and December, commencing March 2018 and ending September 2027, and the Final Calculation Day. If any such day is not a Trading Day with respect to any Index, that Calculation Day for each Index will be postponed to the
next succeeding day that is a Trading Day with respect to each Index. A Calculation Day for an Index is also subject to postponement due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) with respect to such Index on such Calculation
Day. The “Final Calculation Day” is December 27, 2027. If a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to an Index on any Calculation Day, then such Calculation Day for such Index will be postponed to the
first succeeding Trading Day for such Index on which a Market Disruption Event for such Index has not occurred and is not continuing; 

  
 4 

 
however, if such first succeeding Trading Day has not occurred as of the eighth Trading Day for such Index after the originally scheduled Calculation Day, that eighth Trading Day shall be deemed
to be the Calculation Day for such Index. If a Calculation Day has been postponed eight Trading Days for an Index after the originally scheduled Calculation Day and a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing with respect to such Index on such
eighth Trading Day, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of such Index on such eighth Trading Day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of such Index last in effect prior to commencement of
the Market Disruption Event, using the closing price (or, with respect to any relevant security, if a Market Disruption Event has occurred with respect to such security, its good faith estimate of the value of such security at (i) with respect
to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index, the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange or (ii) with
respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index, the time at which the official Closing Level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant Index Sponsor) on such date of each security included in such Index. As used herein,
“closing price” means, with respect to any security on any date, the Relevant Stock Exchange traded or quoted price of such security as of (i) with respect to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index, the Scheduled
Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchange for such security or, if earlier, the actual closing time of the regular trading session of such Relevant Stock Exchange or (ii) with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index, the time at which the official
Closing Level of such Index is calculated and published by the relevant Index Sponsor. Notwithstanding the postponement of a Calculation Day for an Index due to a Market Disruption Event with respect to such Index on such Calculation Day, the
originally scheduled Calculation Day will remain the Calculation Day for any Index not affected by a Market Disruption Event on such day. 

“Calculation Agent Agreement” shall mean the Calculation Agent Agreement dated as of March 18, 2015
between the Company and the Calculation Agent, as amended from time to time. 
 “Calculation Agent” shall
mean the Person that has entered into the Calculation Agent Agreement with the Company providing for, among other things, whether a Contingent Coupon Payment will be made, the Optional Redemption Price, if any, and the Redemption Amount, if any,
which term shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include its successors under such Calculation Agent Agreement. The initial Calculation Agent shall be Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. Pursuant to the Calculation Agent Agreement, the Company may
appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time after the initial issuance of this Security without the consent of the Holder of this Security and without notifying the Holder of this Security. 

Certain Definitions 
 A
“Trading Day” with respect to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which (i) the Relevant Stock Exchanges with respect to each security underlying such Index
are scheduled to be open for trading for their respective regular trading sessions and (ii) each Related Futures or Options Exchange is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session. 

A “Trading Day” with respect to the EURO STOXX 50 Index means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent,
on which (i) the relevant Index Sponsor is scheduled to 

  
 5 

 
publish the level of the EURO STOXX 50 Index and (ii) each Related Futures or Options Exchange with respect to such Index is scheduled to be open for trading for its regular trading session.

 The “Relevant Stock Exchange” for any security underlying an Index means the primary exchange or
quotation system on which such security is traded, as determined by the Calculation Agent. 
 The “Related Futures
or Options Exchange” for an Index means an exchange or quotation system where trading has a material effect (as determined by the Calculation Agent) on the overall market for futures or options contracts relating to such Index. 

Discontinuance Of An Index; Alteration Of Method Of Calculation 

If an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index, and such Index Sponsor or another entity publishes a successor or
substitute equity index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to such Index (a “Successor Equity Index”), then, upon the Calculation Agent’s notification of that determination to the
Trustee and the Company, the Calculation Agent will substitute the Successor Equity Index as calculated by the relevant Index Sponsor or any other entity for purposes of calculating the Closing Level of such Index on any date of determination. Upon
any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Equity Index, the Company will cause notice to be given to the Holder of this Security. 

In the event that an Index Sponsor discontinues publication of an Index prior to, and the discontinuance is continuing on, a
Calculation Day and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Equity Index is available at such time, the Calculation Agent will calculate a substitute Closing Level for such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of
calculating such Index last in effect prior to the discontinuance, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that discontinuance. If a Successor Equity Index is selected or the Calculation Agent calculates a
level as a substitute for such Index, the Successor Equity Index or level will be used as a substitute for such Index for all purposes, including the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists. 

If on a Calculation Day an Index Sponsor fails to calculate and announce the level of an Index, the Calculation Agent will
calculate a substitute Closing Level of such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the failure, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior to that
failure; provided that, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on such day with respect to such Index, then the provisions set forth above under the definition of “Calculation Days” shall apply in lieu of the
foregoing. 
 If at any time the relevant Index Sponsor makes a material change in the formula for or the method of
calculating an Index, or in any other way materially modifies such Index (other than a modification prescribed in that formula or method to maintain such Index in the event of changes in constituent stock and capitalization and other routine
events), then, from and after that time, the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, on each date that the Closing Level of such Index is to be calculated, calculate a substitute Closing Level of

  
 6 

 
such Index in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such Index last in effect prior to the change, but using only those securities that comprised such Index immediately prior
to that change. Accordingly, if the method of calculating an Index is modified so that the level of such Index is a fraction or a multiple of what it would have been if it had not been modified, then the Calculation Agent will adjust such Index in
order to arrive at a level of such Index as if it had not been modified. 
 Market Disruption Events 

A “Market Disruption Event” with respect to the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index means any of the
following events as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion:

Exchanges or otherwise relating to securities which then comprise 20% or more of the level of such Index or any Successor Equity Index at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading
on that day, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by those Relevant Stock Exchanges or otherwise. 

  

	 	(B)	 The occurrence or existence of a material suspension of or limitation imposed on trading by any Related
Futures or Options Exchange or otherwise in futures or options contracts relating to such Index or any Successor Equity Index on any Related Futures or Options Exchange at any time during the one-hour period

	 	(C)	 The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the
ability of market participants in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, securities that then comprise 20% or more of the level of such Index or any Successor Equity Index on their Relevant Stock Exchanges at any time during
the one-hour period that ends at the Close of Trading on that day. 

  

	 	(D)	 The occurrence or existence of any event, other than an early closure, that materially disrupts or impairs the

	 	(E)	 The closure on any Exchange Business Day of the Relevant Stock Exchanges on which securities that then

closing time is announced by the Relevant Stock

Disruption Event; 

  

	 	(2)	 the “Close of Trading” on any Trading Day for such Index or any Successor Equity Index means

of the Relevant Stock Exchanges, but in no event later than the Scheduled Closing Time of the Relevant Stock Exchanges;

authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of July 21, 1999, as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein
called the “Indenture”), between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities
are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series of the Securities designated as Medium-Term Notes, Series K, of the Company, which series is limited to an aggregate principal amount or face amount, as
applicable, of $25,000,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies. The amount payable on the Securities of this series may be determined by reference to the performance of one or more equity-, commodity- or
currency-based indices, exchange traded funds, securities, commodities, currencies, statistical measures of economic or financial performance, or a basket comprised of two or more of the foregoing, or any other market measure or may bear interest at
a fixed rate or a floating rate. The Securities of this series may mature at different times, be redeemable at different times or not at all, be repayable at the option of the Holder at different times or not at all and be denominated in different
currencies. 
 Article Sixteen of the Indenture shall not apply to this Security. 

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons and will be either
(a) book-entry securities represented by one or more Global Securities recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary or (b) certificated
securities issued to and registered in the names of, the beneficial owners or their nominees. 
 The Company agrees, to the
extent permitted by law, not to voluntarily claim the benefits of any laws concerning usurious rates of interest against a Holder of this Security. 

Modification and Waivers 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights
and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the 

  
 13 

 
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected, acting together as a class. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected by certain provisions of the Indenture, acting together as a class, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with those provisions of the Indenture. Certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences may be waived under the Indenture by the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. Solely for the purpose of determining whether any consent, waiver, notice or other action or Act to be taken or given by the Holders
of Securities pursuant to the Indenture has been given or taken by the Holders of Outstanding Securities in the requisite aggregate principal amount, the principal amount of this Security will be deemed to be equal to the amount set forth on the
face hereof as the “Face Amount” hereof. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

Indenture and subject to the limitations provided therein and to the limitations described below, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 

This Security is exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form only if (x) the Depositary notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not

except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of
such successor. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this Global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the Holders hereof for any purpose under

provide such exchange rate, by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be reasonably
selected by the Agents or, in the event no such service is selected, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the
Agents) as in effect on the date of such incurrence or expenditure under any provision of any such Section that has an aggregate
Dollar limitation provided for therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence or expenditure test regulates the aggregate
amount outstanding at any time and it is expressed in terms of Dollars, all outstanding amounts originally incurred or spent in

any provision of any such Section that regulates the Dollar amount outstanding at any time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i)
with respect to the accounting for leases as either operating leases or capital leases and the impact of such accounting in accordance
with FASB ASC 840 on the definitions and covenants herein, GAAP as in effect on the Effective Date shall be applied and (ii) for

Section
2.02 Making the Loans. (a) The Administrative Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice in substantially
the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Notice of Borrowing”)), not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on
the date which is 3 Business Days (or, in the case of any Delayed Draw Term Loan, 10 Business Days) prior to the date of the proposed
Loan (or such shorter period as the Origination Agent and the Administrative Agent are willing to accommodate from time to time,

of written notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Administrative Borrower (or from any Authorized
Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent). The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing.
Upon its receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, and thereafter each Lender
shall make the amount of its applicable Term Loan Commitment available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds
no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Loan. Upon receipt of all Loan funds, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly transfer such funds to the Administrative Borrower by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account or accounts designated in the Notice of Borrowing.

multiple of $500,000.

 

(c)
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.02(c), all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously
and proportionately to their Effective Date Pro Rata Shares of the Total Effective Date Term Loan Commitment and Delayed Draw
Pro Rata Shares of the Total Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible
for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligations to make a Loan requested hereunder, nor shall the
Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s
obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans required to be made by it
by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the failure by any other Lender.

(d)
The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.03(c) shall be prima facie evidence
of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that (i) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the
Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the event of any conflict between the entries made in the accounts
maintained pursuant to Section 2.03(b) and the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.03(c), the accounts maintained pursuant
to Section 2.03(c) shall govern and control.

 

    	 	 -49-	 

     

    

 

(e)
Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall execute and

from time to time outstanding, from the date of the Term Loan until repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus
the Applicable Margin, and each portion of the Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount

principal amount of the Term Loan (the “PIK Option”) (it being understood and agreed that any portion of such
interest that has accrued pursuant to this Section 2.04 that is not permitted to be capitalized shall be paid in cash). Any interest
to be so capitalized pursuant to this clause (a) shall be capitalized, in arrears, on the fifth (5th) Business Day

PIK Amount is incurred) and added to the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan and, thereafter, shall bear interest
as provided hereunder as if it had originally been part of the outstanding principal of the Term Loan.

 

(b)
Default Interest. To the extent permitted by law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, upon the

Interest Payment. Interest (other than the Term Loan PIK Amount, which shall be capitalized in accordance with Section
2.04(a)) on each Loan shall be payable (i) with respect to any Reference Rate Loans, monthly, in arrears, on the fifth (5th)
Business Day of each month, commencing on the fifth (5th) Business Day of the month following the month in which such
Loan is made, (ii) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans, on the last day of each applicable Interest Period, and for any Interest
Period that longer than one month, on each one-month anniversary of the first date (or if there is no numerically corresponding
date, the last day of each such month) of such Interest Period, and (iii) at maturity (whether upon demand, by acceleration or
otherwise. Interest at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on demand. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent

Application of Payments. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(c) shall be applied, to the Term Loan, until paid in

Waivable Mandatory Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Borrowers are
required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans, at least two
(2) Business Days prior to the date on which the Borrowers are required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment (the “Required
Prepayment Date”), the Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of such
prepayment, and the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loans of the
amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse all
or any portion of such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Administrative Borrower
and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it
being understood that any Lender which does not so notify the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election
to exercise such option shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, the Borrowers
shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, which amount shall be applied (i) in an
amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such

Unused Line Fee. From and after the Effective Date and until the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, the
Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their Delayed Draw Pro Rata
Shares, monthly in arrears on the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month, commencing on the fifth (5th)
Business Day of the month following the Effective Date, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”), which shall
accrue at the rate per annum of 1.50% on the undrawn amount, if any, of the Total Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment.

 

(b)
Applicable Premium.

 

(i)
Upon the occurrence of an Applicable Premium Trigger Event, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
account of the Lenders in accordance with a written agreement among the Agents and the Lenders, the Applicable Premium.

 

(ii)
Any Applicable Premium payable in accordance with this Section 2.06(b) shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages
sustained by the Lenders as the result of the occurrence of the Applicable Premium Trigger Event and the Loan Parties agree that
it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR
FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
ACCELERATION.

 

(iii)
The Loan Parties expressly agree that: (A) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction
between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Premium shall be payable notwithstanding
the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the
Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium; (D) the Loan
Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph; (E) their agreement to pay
the Applicable Premium is a material inducement to Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Loans, and (F) the Applicable
Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Agents and the Lenders
and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Agents and the Lenders
or profits lost by the Agents and the Lenders as a result of such Applicable Premium Trigger Event.

(iv)
Nothing contained in this Section 2.06(b) shall permit any prepayment of the Loans or reduction of the Commitments not otherwise
permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

(c)
Audit and Collateral Monitoring Fees. The Borrowers acknowledge that pursuant to Section 7.01(f), representatives of the
Agents, or their designees, may visit any or all of the Loan Parties and/or conduct inspections, audits, physical counts, valuations,
appraisals, environmental site assessments and/or examinations of any or all of the Loan Parties at any time and from time to
time. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) $1,500 per day per examiner plus the examiner’s out-of-pocket costs and reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with all such visits, inspections, audits, physical counts, valuations, appraisals, environmental
site assessments and/or examinations and (ii) the cost of all visits, inspections, audits, physical counts, valuations, appraisals,
environmental site assessments and/or examinations conducted by a third party on behalf of the Agents.

 

(d)
Fee Letter. As and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the Borrowers shall pay the fees set forth in
the Fee Letter.

 

Section
2.07 LIBOR Option.

 

(a)
The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
elect to have interest on all or a portion of the Loans be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate (the “LIBOR
Option”) by notifying the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least 3 Business Days prior
to (i) the proposed borrowing date of a Loan (as provided in Section 2.02), (ii) in the case of the conversion of a Reference
Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the commencement of the proposed Interest Period or (iii) in the case of the continuation of a
LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan, the last day of the then current Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”).
Notice of the Borrowers’ election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Loans and an Interest Period pursuant
to this Section 2.07(a) shall be made by delivery to the Administrative Agent of (A) a Notice of Borrowing (in the case of the
initial making of a Loan) in accordance with Section 2.02 or (B) a LIBOR Notice prior to the LIBOR Deadline. Promptly upon its
receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice thereof to each of the Lenders. Each LIBOR Notice
shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.

 

(b)
Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.04(d). On the last day of each applicable Interest
Period, unless the Borrowers properly have exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such
LIBOR Rate Loans automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Reference Rate Loans of the same type
hereunder. At any time that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers no longer shall have
the option to request that any portion of the Loans bear interest at the LIBOR Rate and the Administrative Agent shall have the
right, at the direction of the Origination Agent, to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate
of interest then applicable to Reference Rate Loans of the same type hereunder on the last day of the then current Interest Period.

 

    	 	 -55-	 

     

    

 

(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers (i) shall have not more than three (3) LIBOR
Rate Loans in effect at any given time, and (ii) only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $500,000
and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

 

(d)
The Borrowers may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid
on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any mandatory prepayment
pursuant to Section 2.05(c) or any application of payments or proceeds of Collateral in accordance with Section 4.03 or Section
4.04 or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion
of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, the Borrowers shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and the Lenders and
their participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 2.08.

 

(e)
Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither any Agent nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is
required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at
the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Article II shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation
as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of
the LIBOR Rate Loans.

 

(f)
If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan,

 

(i)
the Administrative Agent shall have determined that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such
Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the Administrative Agent determines that either inadequate or insufficient
quotations of the London interbank offered rate exist or the use of “LIBOR” has been discontinued (any determination
of Administrative Agent to be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), or

 

(ii)
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period,

 

then
the Administrative Agent shall give written notice to the Administrative Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.
Until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to
such notice no longer exist, (A) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding
Loans as or into LIBOR Rate Loans, shall be suspended and (B) all such affected Loans shall be converted into Reference Rate Loans
on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

 

    	 	 -56-	 

     

    

 

Section
2.08 Funding Losses. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents
and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by any Agent or any Lender as a result of (a) the payment
of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result
of a Default or an Event of Default or any mandatory prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.05(c)), (b) the conversion of any
LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Default or an
Event of Default), or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any
Notice of Borrowing or LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses, collectively, “Funding
Losses”). Funding Losses shall, with respect to any Agent or any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount reasonably determined
by such Agent or such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal
amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, for the
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure
to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period therefor), minus (ii) the amount
of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Agent or such Lender would
be offered were it to be offered, at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period in the
London interbank market. A certificate of an Agent or a Lender delivered to the Administrative Borrower setting forth any amount
or amounts that such Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

 

Section
2.09 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes, except as required by
applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of any Withholding Agent) requires the deduction
or withholding of any Taxes from or in respect of any such payment, (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deduction
or withholding, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party
shall be increased by the amount necessary such that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions
and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.09) the applicable Recipient receives the amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b)
In addition, each Loan Party shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes,
or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes by any Secured Party. Each
Loan Party shall deliver to each Secured Party official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly
after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

 

(c)
The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold each Secured Party harmless from and against Indemnified
Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this
Section 2.09) paid or payable by such Secured Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured Party
and any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly
or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such Person makes written demand
therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Secured Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Secured Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

    	 	 -57-	 

     

    

 

(d)
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan
Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender,
if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other
than such documentation set forth in Section 2.09(d)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense
or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

(ii)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

 

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

 

(B)
any Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do
so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient)
on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(1)
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from,
or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect
to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction
of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such
tax treaty;

 

    	 	 -58-	 

     

    

 

(2)
executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(3)
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.09(d)-1 hereto to the effect that such Foreign Lender is
not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder”
of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y)
executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

 

(4)
to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.09(d)-2 or Exhibit 2.09(d)-3,
IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign
Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest
exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.09(d)-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	 -59-	 

     

    

 

(e)
Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable
to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified
Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure
to comply with the provisions of Section 12.07(i) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded
Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan
Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by
the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph
(e).

 

(f)
If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.09 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section
2.09), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made
under this Section 2.09 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes)
of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the
amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying
party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had
not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax
had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns
(or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

(g)
The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.09 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

Section
2.10 Increased Costs and Reduced Return. (a) If any Secured Party shall have determined that any Change in Law shall (i)
subject such Secured Party, or any Person controlling such Secured Party to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this
Agreement or any Loan made by such Agent or such Lender, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Secured Party or
any Person controlling such Secured Party of any amounts payable hereunder (except for taxes on the overall net income of such
Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured Party), (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit
or similar requirement against any Loan or against assets of or held by, or deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
by, such Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured Party or (iii) impose on such Secured Party or any Person controlling
such Secured Party any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Loan, and the result of any event referred to in clauses
(i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to such Secured Party of making any Loan, or agreeing to make any Loan,
or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Secured Party hereunder, then, upon demand by such Secured Party, the Borrowers
shall pay to such Secured Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Secured Party for such increased costs or reductions
in amount.

 

    	 	 -60-	 

     

    

 

(b)
If any Secured Party shall have determined that any Change in Law either (i) affects or would affect the amount of capital required
or expected to be maintained by such Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured Party, and such Secured Party determines
that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of any Loans made or maintained, such Secured
Party’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Secured Party’s or such other controlling Person’s capital to a level below that which
such Secured Party or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such circumstances as a consequence of any Loans made
or maintained, or any agreement to make Loans, or such Secured Party’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations
hereunder (in each case, taking into consideration, such Secured Party’s or such other controlling Person’s policies
with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by such Secured Party, the Borrowers shall pay to such Secured Party from
time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such Secured Party for such cost of maintaining such increased capital
or such reduction in the rate of return on such Secured Party’s or such other controlling Person’s capital.

 

(c)
All amounts payable under this Section 2.10 shall bear interest from the date that is 10 days after the date of demand by any
Secured Party until payment in full to such Secured Party at the Reference Rate. A certificate of such Secured Party claiming
compensation under this Section 2.10, specifying the event herein above described and the nature of such event shall be submitted
by such Secured Party to the Administrative Borrower, setting forth the additional amount due and an explanation of the calculation
thereof, and such Secured Party’s reasons for invoking the provisions of this Section 2.10, and shall be final and conclusive
absent manifest error.

 

(d)
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall
not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not
be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 for any increased costs incurred
or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Administrative Borrower of the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except
that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

    	 	 -61-	 

     

    

 

(e)
The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

Section
2.11 Changes in Law; Impracticability or Illegality.

 

(a)
The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account
any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs due to
changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in
tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional
or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected
Lender shall give the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent written notice of such a determination and adjustment
and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from
the affected Lender, the Administrative Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (i) require such Lender to furnish to
the Administrative Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the
amount of such adjustment, or (ii) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any
amounts due under Section 2.09).

 

(b)
In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the
interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make
it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or
to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give written notice of such changed circumstances to
the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each
other Lender and (i) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s
notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans
of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Reference Rate Loans of the same type hereunder,
and (ii) the Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option (including in any borrowing, conversion or continuation
then being requested) until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.

 

(c)
The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section
4.01 Payments; Computations and Statements. (a) The Borrowers will make each payment under this Agreement not later than
2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, to the Administrative Agent’s Account. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on any Business Day will be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day unless, in the Origination
Agent’s discretion, such payments are deemed received on the same Business Day of receipt thereof. All payments shall be
made by the Borrowers without set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, deduction or other defense to the Agents and the Lenders. Except
as provided in Section 2.02, after receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds
relating to the payment of principal ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and like funds relating to
the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. The Lenders and the Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent will,
from time to time at the direction of the Origination Agent or the Required Lenders, charge the Loan Account of the Borrowers
with any amount due and payable by the Borrowers to the Agents and/or the Lenders under any Loan Document. Any amount charged
to the Loan Account of the Borrowers shall be deemed Obligations. Whenever any payment to be made under any such Loan Document
shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and
such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. All computations
of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days. Each determination
by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence
of manifest error.

 

(b)
The Administrative Agent shall provide the Administrative Borrower, promptly at or around the end of each calendar month if there
is activity during such month or upon the reasonable written request of the Administrative Borrower, a summary statement (in the
form from time to time used by the Administrative Agent) of the opening and closing daily balances in the Loan Account of the
Borrowers during such month, the amounts and dates of all Loans made to the Borrowers during such month, the amounts and dates
of all payments on account of the Loans to the Borrowers during such month and the Loans to which such payments were applied,
the amount of interest accrued on the Loans to the Borrowers during such month, and the amount and nature of any charges to the
Loan Account made during such month on account of fees, commissions, expenses and other Obligations. All entries on any such statement
shall be presumed to be correct and, 30 days after the same is sent, shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.

Section
4.02 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise
of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar
obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such
similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with
each of them; provided, however, that (a) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from
such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender
the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing
Lender) of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered and (b) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender
and any payment of an amendment, consent or waiver fee to consenting Lenders pursuant to an effective amendment, consent or waiver
with respect to this Agreement), or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans, other than to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this
Section shall apply). The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

 

Section
4.03 Apportionment of Payments. Subject to Section 2.02 hereof and to any written agreement among the Agents and/or the
Lenders:

 

(a)
All payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments of fees (other than the fees set forth in
Section 2.06 hereof) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent
among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided
herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans, as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is
made.

 

(b)
After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the direction of
the Origination Agent or the Required Lenders, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations, including without limitation,
all proceeds of the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations
in respect of any fees (other than the Specified Fee), expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable
to the Agents until paid in full; (ii) second, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Origination Agent
Advances until paid in full; (iii) third, to pay principal of the Origination Agent Advances until paid in full; (iv) fourth,

    	 	 -64-	 

     

    

 

(c)
For purposes of Section 4.03(b) “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents
according to the terms thereof, including the Applicable Premium, loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically
including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense
reimbursements, whether or not the same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

 

(d)
In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 4.03 and other provisions contained in any other
Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together
and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict
that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 4.03 shall control and govern.

 

Section
4.04 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable
law:

 

(a)
Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement
shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.02.

 

(b)
The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to such Defaulting Lender any payments made by any Borrower to the
Administrative Agent for such Defaulting Lender’s benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to such Defaulting Lender,
the Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their
Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to the Pro Rata Shares of such Defaulting Lender) (but only to the extent that such Defaulting
Lender’s Loans were funded by the other Lenders) or, if so directed by the Administrative Borrower and if no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s Loans were not funded by the
other Lenders), retain the same to be re-advanced to the Borrowers as if such Defaulting Lender had made such Loans to the Borrowers.
Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to the Borrowers for the account of
such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)
Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement
and shall entitle the Borrowers to replace the Defaulting Lender with one or more substitute Lenders, and the Defaulting Lender
shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Defaulting Lender shall specify an effective
date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given. Prior to the
effective date of such replacement, the Defaulting Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only
to the Defaulting Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever.
If the Defaulting Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective
date of such replacement, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance.
The replacement of any Defaulting Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 12.07.

 

    	 	 -65-	 

     

    

 

(d)
The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitments of any Lender, to relieve
or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve
or excuse the performance by any Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders
other than such Defaulting Lender.

 

(e)
This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until either (i) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have
been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable or (ii) the non-Defaulting Lenders, the Agents, and the Borrowers
shall have waived such Defaulting Lender’s default in writing, and the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the
applicable defaulted Loans and pays to the Agents all amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender in respect thereof; provided that
no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers 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 to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising
from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

Section
4.05 Administrative Borrower; Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.

 

(a)
Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Rhino as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers (the “Administrative
Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Agents shall have received prior
written notice signed by all of the Borrowers that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed
Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide to
the Agents and receive from the Agents all notices with respect to Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other
notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on
its behalf to obtain Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of
this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion,
as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing
powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that neither the Agents nor the
Lenders shall incur liability to the Borrowers as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly,
from the handling of the Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower
is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group.

 

    	 	 -66-	 

     

    

 

(b)
Each Borrower hereby accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the
financial accommodations to be provided by the Agents and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the
mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers
to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers,
with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising
under this Section 4.05), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several
obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them. If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers
shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in
accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform,
such Obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of
this Section 4.05 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each of the Borrowers, enforceable against
each such Person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other circumstances whatsoever.

 

(c)
The provisions of this Section 4.05 are made for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and
may be enforced by them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without
requirement on the part of the Agents, the Lenders or such successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or
to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against
any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder
or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 4.05 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have
been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied.

 

(d)
Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other
Borrowers with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by
it to the Agents or the Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any Collateral, until such time as all of the Obligations
have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments
to the Agents or the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right
of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in
full in cash of the Obligations.

the initial Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable request of a Lender, each Agent
shall provide to such Lender any documents or reports delivered to such Agent by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this

Section
10.03 Rights, Exculpation, Etc. The Agents and their directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default
unless and until written notice thereof, stating that such notice is a “notice of default”, is given to such Agent
by the Borrowers or a Lender, and the Agents (i) may treat the payee of any Loan as the owner thereof until the Collateral Agent
receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 12.07 hereof, signed by such payee and in form
satisfactory to the Origination Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any Agent
or counsel to the Loan Parties), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable

not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value

shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectibility of the Collateral,
the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party
in connection therewith, nor shall the Agents be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any
portion of the Collateral. The Agents shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith
pursuant to Section 4.03, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error,
and the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in
excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agents may at any time request instructions from the Lenders
with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Agents
are permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are requested, the Agents shall be absolutely entitled
to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until they shall have received such
instructions from the Required Lenders, and if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Secured
Parties against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking, continuing or refraining from
taking any such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agents shall not be required to take, or to refrain from taking, any
action that is, in the opinion of such Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or refrained to be taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Origination Agent or the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender
shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents).

Section
10.04 Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other
documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its
duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

 

Section
10.05 Indemnification. To the extent that any Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Loan Party, and whether or
not such Agent has made demand on any Loan Party for the same, the Lenders will, within five days of written demand by such Agent,
reimburse such Agent for and indemnify such Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, client charges and expenses of counsel or any other
advisor to such Agent), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken
or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata
Share, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08; provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final non-appealable judicial determination that
such liability resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this
Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section
10.06 Agents Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Total Term Loan Commitment hereunder and the Loans
made by it, each Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations
and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or maker of a Loan. The terms “Lenders”
or “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent
in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Lenders. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Borrower as if it were not acting
as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the other Lenders.

 

Section
10.07 Successor Agent. (a) Any Agent may at any time give at least 30 days prior written notice of its resignation to the
Lenders and the Administrative Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right
to appoint a successor Agent. If no such successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed
by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent. Whether or not a successor Agent has been appointed, such
resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

 

    	 	 -108-	 

     

    

 

(b)
With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by such Agent on behalf of the Lenders under
any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent
is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such retiring Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as a successor Agent shall have been appointed as
provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s Agent’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent
shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. After the retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article, Section 12.04 and Section 12.15 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while the
retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

 

Section
10.08 Collateral Matters.

 

(a)
The Origination Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Origination Agent Advances”)
which the Origination Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease
or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrowers
of the Loans and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 12.04. The Origination Agent Advances shall be
repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable
to Term Loans that are Reference Rate Loans. The Origination Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be
charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 4.01. The Origination Agent shall notify each Lender and the Administrative
Borrower in writing of each such Origination Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Origination
Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.05, each Lender agrees that it shall make available
to the Origination Agent, upon the Origination Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal
to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Origination Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Origination
Agent by such Lender, the Origination Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with
interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Origination Agent,
at the Federal Funds Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate.

 

(b)
The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted
to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of the Total Term Loan Commitment and payment and satisfaction
of all Loans and all other Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) in accordance with the terms hereof; or constituting
property being sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of any Loan Party’s business or otherwise in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at
the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders in accordance
with Section 12.02. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s
authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.08(b).

 

    	 	 -109-	 

     

    

 

(c)
Without in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or
consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 10.08(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral
Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 10.08(b). Upon receipt by the Collateral
Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior
written request by any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute
such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Agents and the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required
to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability
or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii)
such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any Loan
Party in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by any Loan Party.

 

(d)
Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Loan Parties, each Agent and each Lender
hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Loan Document
or to enforce any Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be
exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) in the event
of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and (iii) the Collateral
Agent, as agent for and representative of the Agents and the Lenders (but not any other Agent or any Lender or Lenders in its
or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled (either
directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase
price for all or any portion of the Collateral to be sold (A) at any public or private sale, (B) at any sale conducted by the
Collateral Agent under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Uniform
Commercial Code), (C) at any sale or foreclosure conducted by the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in
accordance with applicable law or (D) any sale conducted pursuant to the provisions of any Debtor Relief Law (including Section
363 of the Bankruptcy Code), to use and apply all or any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any
Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale.

 

(e)
The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the
Loan Parties or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced
or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure
or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent
in this Section 10.08 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any
act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion,
given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have
no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.

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

 

Section
10.10 No Reliance on any Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither
such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on any Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s,
participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other requirements imposed by the USA PATRIOT Act
or the regulations issued thereunder, including the regulations set forth in 31 C.F.R. §§ 1010.100(yy), (iii), 1020.100,
and 1020.220 (formerly 31 C.F.R. § 103.121), as hereafter amended or replaced (“CIP Regulations”), or any other
Anti-Terrorism Laws, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the
Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any
identity verification procedures, (2) any recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other
procedures required under the CIP Regulations or other regulations issued under the USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender, Affiliate, participant
or assignee subject to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act will perform the measures necessary to satisfy its own responsibilities
under the CIP Regulations.

 

Section
10.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and
no Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

Section
10.12 No Fiduciary Relationship. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in
any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other
implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of
market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of the Borrowers, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold any

on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

 

Section
10.16 Origination Agent as Advisor. Each Lender acknowledges that certain affiliates of Colbeck Capital Management, LLC
(“Colbeck”) now are and may hereafter be advisors to the Parent and its Subsidiaries (the “Affiliated
Advisors”), and the Affiliated Advisors may exercise their rights as advisors to the Loan Parties, in each case as though
affiliates of Colbeck were not the Origination Agent or Lenders hereunder and without accounting to, or incurring any liability
to, the Lenders as a result thereof. Notwithstanding the role of advisors to the Parent and its Subsidiaries, Colbeck and any
funds or accounts managed by any Affiliate of Colbeck that are Lenders (collectively, “Colbeck Lenders”) shall
have the same rights and powers hereunder as any Lender with respect to their Commitments, the Loans made by the Colbeck Lenders
and the other obligations owing hereunder to the Colbeck Lenders, and the Colbeck Lenders may exercise the same rights and powers
as if such Affiliated Advisors were not advisors to the Parent and its Subsidiaries. Colbeck’s affiliates are executing
this Agreement solely in their capacities as Origination Agent and Lender and shall have no duties or responsibilities to the
Lenders or any fiduciary responsibility to the Lenders, and no express or implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities (for the performance by any Loan Party hereunder or otherwise) shall be read into this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or exist against Colbeck or any Colbeck Lender, by reason of the Affiliated Advisors’ role as advisors
to the Parent and its Subsidiaries. It is understood and agreed that Colbeck, its Related Funds and Affiliates (including, without
limitation, the Origination Agent) may receive fees, Equity Interests and other compensation in connection with the arrangement
of this Agreement and related transactions that other Lenders are not receiving, and Colbeck, its Related Funds and Affiliates
shall have no obligation to share such fees, Equity Interests and other compensation or account for such amounts and will not
assume any additional duties or obligations to the Lenders by reason of the foregoing.

Section
10.17 Reserves. The Origination Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), in the exercise of its reasonable
business judgment, to establish and decrease reserves against the Collateral Coverage Amount. The amount of any reserve established
by the Origination Agent shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition, other circumstance, or fact that is the
basis for such reserve and shall not be duplicative of any other reserve or ineligibility criteria established and currently maintained.

 

ARTICLE

GUARANTY

 

Section
11.01 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual
payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter
existing under any Loan Document, whether for principal, interest (including, without limitation, all interest that accrues after
the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding of any Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such
Insolvency Proceeding), fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications or otherwise (such obligations, to the extent
not paid by the Borrowers, being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Secured Parties in enforcing any rights under the guaranty set forth in
this Article XI. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts
that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrowers to the Secured Parties under any Loan Document
but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Borrower.

 

Section
11.02 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor jointly and severally guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly
in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto. Each Guarantor agrees that
this Article XI constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to require that any resort
be made by any Agent or any Lender to any Collateral. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article XI are independent
of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce
such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Loan Party or whether any Loan Party is joined in
any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Article XI shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional
irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to,
any or all of the following:

 

    	 	 -114-	 

     

    

 

(a)
any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(b)
any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in
the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise;

 

(c)
any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent
to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(d)
the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Guarantor may have at any time against any Person, including,
without limitation, any Secured Party;

 

(e)
any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of
any Loan Party; or

 

(f)
any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation
by the Secured Parties that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other
guarantor or surety.

 

This
Article XI shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Secured Parties or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

Section
11.03 Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and any other notice
with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Article XI and any requirement that the Secured Parties exhaust any
right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, (iii) any right to compel or direct any
Secured Party to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under this Article XI from any one particular fund or source or
to exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral, (iv) any requirement
that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust
any right to take any action against any Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral, and (v) any other defense available to
any Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor
or against, or in payment of, any or all of the Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect
benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.03 is knowingly
made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Article XI, and acknowledges that
this Article XI is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

 

    	 	 -115-	 

     

    

 

Section
11.04 Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Article XI is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and
effect until the later of the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations)
and all other amounts payable under this Article XI and the Final Maturity Date, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors
and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, pledgees, transferees
and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer
all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its
Commitments and its Loans owing to it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits
in respect thereof granted such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 12.07.

 

Section
11.05 Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party or
any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under
this Article XI, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification
and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Secured Parties against any Loan Party or any other guarantor or any
Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without
limitation, the right to take or receive from any Loan Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other
property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and
until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this
Article XI shall have been paid in full in cash and the Final Maturity Date shall have occurred. If any amount shall be paid to
any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the payment in full in cash
of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Article XI
and the Final Maturity Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be
paid to the Secured Parties to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
Article XI, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any
Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Article XI thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment
to the Secured Parties of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Article XI shall be paid in full in cash and (iii) the Final Maturity Date shall have occurred, the
Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents,
without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of
an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.

 

    	 	 -116-	 

     

    

 

Section
11.06 Contribution. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations
arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under this
Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution
from each of the other Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair
Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, an
amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate
of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed
on or before such date by all Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. “Fair Share Contribution
Amount” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations
of such Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer
or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided,
solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Guarantor for purposes
of this Section 11.06, any assets or liabilities of such Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement
or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities
of such Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination,
an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Guarantor in
respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 11.06), minus (B) the aggregate amount
of all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Guarantors as contributions under this Section
11.06. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution
is made by the applicable Guarantor. The allocation among Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 11.06 shall
not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to
the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 11.06.

Section
12.02 Amendments, Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (excluding
the Fee Letter), and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed (with a fully-executed copy delivered to the Administrative Agent) (x) in the case of an amendment,
consent or waiver to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or granting a new Lien for the benefit of the Agents
and the Lenders or extending an existing Lien over additional property, by the Agents and the Borrowers (or by the Administrative
Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers), (y) in the case of any other waiver or consent, by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative
Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (z) in the case of any other amendment, by the Required Lenders (or by the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers (or by the Administrative Borrower on behalf
of the Borrowers), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

 

(i)
increase the Commitment of any Lender, reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans payable to any Lender, reduce the amount
of any fee payable for the account of any Lender, or postpone or extend any scheduled date fixed for any payment of principal
of, or interest or fees on, the Loans payable to any Lender, in each case, without the written consent of such Lender;

 

(ii)
change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans that is required for the Lenders
or any of them to take any action hereunder without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(iii)
amend the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(iv)
release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents),
subordinate any Lien granted in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, or release any Borrower
or any Guarantor (except in connection with a Disposition of the Equity Interests thereof permitted by Section 7.02(c)(ii)), in
each case, without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(v)
amend, modify or waive Section 4.02, Section 4.03 or this Section 12.02 of this Agreement without the written consent of each
Lender;

 

(vi)
amend the definition of “Delayed Draw Pro Rata Share” without the written consent of any Lender affected thereby;
or

 

(vii)
amend the definition of “Applicable Collateral Coverage Limit”, “Applicable Depreciation Percentage”,

“Eligible Above Ground Equipment”, “Eligible Below Ground Equipment”, “Eligible Securities”,

Amount of Eligible Accounts”, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender.

 

    	 	 -120-	 

     

    

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by an Agent, affect the rights or duties
of such Agent (but not in its capacity as a Lender) under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (B) any amendment, waiver
or consent to any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 4.01 and 4.02) that permits any Loan Party, any Permitted Holder
(or other equity holder of the Parent) or any of their respective Affiliates to purchase Loans on a non-pro rata basis, become
an eligible assignee pursuant to Section 12.07 and/or make offers to make optional prepayments on a non-pro rata basis shall require
the prior written consent of the Required Lenders rather than the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby
and (C) the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required to change any order of priority set forth in Section 2.05(d) and Section
4.03. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender that is a Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent under the Loan Documents and any Loans held by such Person for purposes hereof shall
be automatically deemed to be voted pro rata according to the Loans of all other Lenders in the aggregate (other than such Defaulting
Lender).

 

(b)
If any action to be taken by the Lenders hereunder requires the consent, authorization, or agreement of all of the Lenders or
any Lender affected thereby, and a Lender other than the Origination Agent and its Affiliates and Related Funds (the “Holdout
Lender”) fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then the Origination Agent, upon at least 5 Business
Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute lenders
(each, a “Replacement Lender”), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder.
Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later
than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given. Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender
and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid
its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse
or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout
Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall
be made in accordance with the terms of Section 12.07. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the
Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make its Pro Rata Share of Loans.

 

Section
12.03 No Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No failure on the part of any Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any right under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights
and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document
against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agents and the Lenders to exercise any of their
rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person.

 

    	 	 -121-	 

     

    

 

Section
12.04 Expenses; Taxes; Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrowers will pay on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by or on
behalf of each Agent (and, in the case of clauses (b) through (n) below, each Lender), regardless of whether the transactions

of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the preparation of any additional Loan Documents
pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or the review of any of the agreements, instruments and documents referred to in Section 7.01(f)),
(b) any amendments, waivers or consents to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents whether or not such documents become effective
or are given, (c) the preservation and protection of the Agents’ or any of the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, (d) the defense of any claim or action asserted or brought against any Agent or any Lender by any
Person that arises from or relates to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Agents’ or the Lenders’ claims
against any Loan Party, or any and all matters in connection therewith, (e) the commencement or defense of, or intervention in,
any court proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (f) the filing of any petition, complaint,
answer, motion or other pleading by any Agent or any Lender, or the taking of any action in respect of the Collateral or other
security, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (g) the protection, collection, lease, sale, taking possession
of or liquidation of, any Collateral or other security in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (h) any attempt
to enforce any Lien or security interest in any Collateral or other security in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (i) any attempt to collect from any Loan Party, (j) any Environmental Claim, Environmental Liability or Remedial Action
arising from or in connection with the past, present or future operations of, or any property currently, formerly or in the future
owned, leased or operated by, any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor in interest, (k) any Environmental Lien,
(l) the rating of the Loans by one or more rating agencies in connection with any Lender’s Securitization, or (m) the receipt
by any Agent or any Lender of any advice from professionals with respect to any of the foregoing. Without limitation of the foregoing
or any other provision of any Loan Document: (x) the Borrowers agree to pay all broker fees that may become due in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (y) if the Borrowers fail to perform any
covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any Agent may itself perform or cause performance of such
covenant or agreement, and the expenses of such Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be reimbursed on demand by the Borrowers.
The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 12.04 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any
Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

Section
12.05 Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any Agent or any Lender
may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party (any such notice being expressly
waived by the Loan Parties) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent or such Lender or
any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all obligations of the
Loan Parties either now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender
shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured; provided
that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid
over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04 and, pending
such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Agents and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing
in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. Each Agent
and each Lender agrees to notify such Loan Party promptly after any such set-off and application made by such Agent or such Lender
or any of their respective Affiliates provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off
and application. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under this Section 12.05 are in addition to the other rights and remedies
(including other rights of set-off) which the Agents and the Lenders may have under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents
of law or otherwise.

 

Section
12.06 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section
12.07 Assignments and Participations.

 

(a)
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party and each Agent and
each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Loan Parties may assign
or transfer any of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender and
any such assignment without the Lenders’ prior written consent shall be null and void.

 

(b)
Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (c) below, each Lender may assign to one or more other lenders or other entities
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment
and any Term Loan made by it with the written consent of the Origination Agent; provided, however, that no written
consent of the Origination Agent shall be required (A) in connection with any assignment by a Lender to a Lender, an Affiliate
of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender or (B) if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale,
transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of such Lender.

 

    	 	 -123-	 

     

    

 

(c)
Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

 

(i)
Each such assignment shall be in an amount which is at least $5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the
remainder of such Lender’s Commitment and Loans) (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an assignment by a Lender
to (A) a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender or (B) a group of new Lenders, each of whom is an
Affiliate or Related Fund of each other to the extent the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least
$5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); and

 

(ii)
Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 12.07(c)(ii), the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent and the Origination Agent, for the Administrative Agent’s acceptance and the Origination Agent’s
consent, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any promissory note subject to such assignment and such parties shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except the
payment of such fee shall not be required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender
or a Related Fund of such Lender). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.07(c)(ii), a Lender may
assign any or all of its rights under the Loan Documents to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender without
delivering an Assignment and Acceptance to the Agents or to any other Person; provided, however, that (A) the Borrowers
and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender until an Assignment and Acceptance
has been delivered to the Administrative Agent for recordation on the Register, (B) the Collateral Agent may continue to deal
solely and directly with such assigning Lender until receipt by the Collateral Agent of a copy of the fully executed Assignment
and Acceptance pursuant to Section 12.07(g), (C) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver an Assignment and Acceptance
to the Agents shall not affect the legality, validity, or binding effect of such assignment, and (D) an Assignment and Acceptance
between the assigning Lender and an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender shall be effective as of the date
specified in such Assignment and Acceptance and recordation on the Related Party Register referred to in the last sentence of
Section 12.07(f) below;

 

(iii)
No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Loan Party, any Permitted Holder (or other equity holder of the Parent) or any of
their respective Affiliates or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

 

(d)
Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance and
recordation on the Register, (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a “Lender” hereunder and, in addition to the
rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder
that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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).

 

    	 	 -124-	 

     

    

 

(e)
By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations
made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the assigning Lender
makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or
any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, together with such other documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance
upon the assigning Lender, any Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at
the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agents on its behalf and to exercise such powers under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with
their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed
by it as a Lender.

 

(f)
The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain, or cause to
be maintained at the Payment Office, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the
“Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and the principal
amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon) (the “Registered Loans”) owing to each Lender from time to
time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers,
the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes
of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In the case of an assignment pursuant to the last sentence of Section
12.07(c)(ii) as to which an Assignment and Acceptance is not delivered to the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender shall,
acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the
“Related Party Register”) comparable to the Register on behalf of the Borrowers. The Related Party Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.

 

(g)
Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a completed Assignment and Acceptance, all “know your customer” information
requested by the Administrative Agent of the new Lender, receipt by the Administrative Agent of its fee pursuant to Section 12.07(c)(ii)
hereof, and subject to any consent required from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 12.07(b)
(which consent of the applicable Agent must be evidenced by such Agent’s execution of an acceptance to such Assignment and
Acceptance), the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment, record the information contained therein in the Register (as
adjusted to reflect any principal payments on or amounts capitalized and added to the principal balance of the Loans and/or Commitment
reductions made subsequent to the effective date of the applicable assignment, as confirmed in writing by the corresponding assignor
and assignee in conjunction with delivery of the assignment to the Administrative Agent) and provide to the Collateral Agent a
copy of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance.

 

    	 	 -125-	 

     

    

 

(h)
A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration
of such assignment or sale on the Register or the Related Party Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide).
Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected
only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register or the Related Party Register, together with the surrender of
the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale
duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s),
one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s).

 

(i)
In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent on behalf of the Borrowers, maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register, on which it enters the name of all participants
in the Registered Loans held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Registered Loan
that is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the registered
note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant
Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered
note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.
The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(j)
Any Foreign Lender who purchases or is assigned or participates in any portion of such Registered Loan shall comply with Section
2.09(d).

 

(k)
Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments and the
Loans made by it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, its
Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to
the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any
action hereunder except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the maturity dates or decrease in the principal amount of
the Loans, (B) action directly effecting an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on the Loans
or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral
or any Loan Party (except as set forth in Section 10.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Loan Parties agree
that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.09 and Section 2.10 of this Agreement with respect to its
participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender.

 

    	 	 -126-	 

     

    

 

(l)
Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or loans made to
such Lender pursuant to securitization or similar credit facility (a “Securitization”); provided that
no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. The Loan Parties shall cooperate with such Lender and its Affiliates to effect the
Securitization including, without limitation, by providing such information as may be reasonably requested by such Lender in connection
with the rating of its Loans or the Securitization.

 

Section
12.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier or electronic mail shall be equally
as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of
this Agreement by telecopier or electronic mail also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the
failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this
Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

 

Section
12.09 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN
ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section
12.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. 

 

(a)
ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION
AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY,
THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF
THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY ANY MEANS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS
FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.01, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 10 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. THE LOAN PARTIES AGREE
THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT
ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS TO
SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY LOAN
PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW,
ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY
SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT
ANY LOAN PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH
SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY,
EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS.

 

(b)
Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints C T Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), with an office on
the date hereof at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011 as its agent to receive on behalf of each Loan Party service of
the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding described above. Such service
may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to each Loan Party, in care of the Process Agent at the address specified
above for such Process Agent, and such Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service
on its behalf. Each Loan Party covenants and agrees that, for so long as it shall be bound under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, it shall maintain a duly appointed agent for the service of summons and other legal process in New York, New York, United
States of America, for the purposes of any legal action, suit or proceeding brought by any party in respect of this Agreement
or such other Loan Document and shall keep the Agents advised of the identity and location of such agent. If for any reason there
is no authorized agent for service of process in New York, each Loan Party irrevocably consents to the service of process out
of the said courts by mailing copies thereof by registered United States air mail postage prepaid to it at its address specified
in Section 12.01. Nothing in this Section 12.10 shall affect the right of any Secured Party to (i) commence legal proceedings
or otherwise sue any Loan Party in the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in any other court having jurisdiction over such
Loan Party or (ii) serve process upon any Loan Party in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction.

Section
12.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH LOAN PARTY, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY
AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION,
PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH LOAN PARTY CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT,
IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section
12.12 Consent by the Agents and Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary or in any
other Loan Document, if the consent, approval, satisfaction, determination, judgment, acceptance or similar action (an “Action”)
of any Agent or any Lender shall be permitted or required pursuant to any provision hereof or any provision of any other agreement
to which any Loan Party is a party and to which any Agent or any Lender has succeeded thereto, such Action shall be required to
be in writing and may be withheld or denied by such Agent or such Lender, in its sole discretion, with or without any reason,
and without being subject to question or challenge on the grounds that such Action was not taken in good faith.

 

Section
12.13 No Party Deemed Drafter. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter
of this Agreement.

 

Section
12.14 Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon any Secured Party for repayment or recovery of any
amount or amounts received by such Secured Party in payment or on account of any of the Obligations, such Secured Party shall
give prompt notice of such claim to each other Agent and Lender and the Administrative Borrower, and if such Secured Party repays
all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction
over such Secured Party or any of its property, or (ii) any reasonable good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected
by such Secured Party with any such claimant, then and in such event each Loan Party agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree,
order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable
to such Secured Party hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally
been received by such Secured Party.

Section
12.15 Indemnification; Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages.

 

(a)
In addition to each Loan Party’s other Obligations under this Agreement, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally,
defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party and all of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses,
damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Effective Date, whether direct,
indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation,
preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any other document executed
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Agent’s or any Lender’s furnishing of
funds to the Borrowers under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the management of any
such Loans or the Borrowers’ use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) the Agents and the Lenders relying on any instructions of
the Administrative Borrower or the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of the Borrowers as herein provided, (iv) any matter
relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or by any document executed
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (v) any claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively,
the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation
to any Indemnitee under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(b)
The indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees set forth in this Section
12.15 are chargeable against the Loan Account. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth
in this Section 12.15 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall, jointly
and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.

 

(c)
No Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against the Indemnitees, on any theory of liability,
for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor
is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result
of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or
thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds
thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Loan Party hereby waives, releases and agrees
not to sue upon any such claim or seek any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist
in its favor.

 

(d)
The indemnities and waivers set forth in this Section 12.15 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any
Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

 

    	 	 -130-	 

     

    

 

Section
12.16 Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans, the interest rate or rates applicable to such
unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, the Commitments, and the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant
to Section 2.06 hereof, shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error.

 

Section
12.17 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, each Agent
and each Lender and when the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by
the Agents, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender, and
their respective successors and assigns, except that the Loan Parties shall not have the right to assign their rights hereunder
or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Agent and each Lender, and any assignment by any Lender shall
be governed by Section 12.07 hereof.

 

Section
12.18 Highest Lawful Rate. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly
to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious
as to any Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of
New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the
aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender that is contracted for,
taken, reserved, charged or received by such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements
or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable
law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender on the
principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby
be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the Borrowers); and (ii) in the event that the maturity
of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any
required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender
may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this
Agreement or otherwise shall, subject to the last sentence of this Section 12.18, be canceled automatically by such Agent or such
Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent
or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the
Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender to the Borrowers). All sums
paid or agreed to be paid to any Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the
extent permitted by law applicable to such Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full
term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed
the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to
any Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender pursuant
to this Section 12.18 and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable
to such Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest
Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender in respect
of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent
or such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest
which would have been payable to such Agent or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect
to this Section 12.18.

 

    	 	 -131-	 

     

    

 

For
purposes of this Section 12.18, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable
to the loan transaction between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits
the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this
Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

 

The
right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not accrued
as of the date of acceleration.

 

Section
12.19 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors,
officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary
procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable
commercial finance companies, any non-public information supplied to it by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents which is identified in writing by the Loan Parties as being confidential at the time the same is delivered
to such Person (and which at the time is not, and does not thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from
another source not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to such Person not to disclose such information), provided
that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure by any Agent or any Lender of any such information (i) to its Affiliates and
to its and its Affiliates’ respective equityholders (including, without limitation, investors and/or partners), directors,
officers, employees, agents, trustees, counsel, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential
in accordance with this Section 12.19); (ii) to any other party hereto; (iii) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee
or participant) or any party to a Securitization so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant)
or party to a Securitization first agrees, in writing, to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar in substance to this
Section 12.19; (iv) to the extent required by any Requirement of Law or judicial process or as otherwise requested by any Governmental
Authority; (v) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner, auditor or accountant
or any nationally recognized rating agency or otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not
identify Loan Parties; (vi) in connection with any litigation to which any Agent or any Lender is a party; (vii) in connection
with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; or (viii) with the consent of the Administrative
Borrower.

 

    	 	 -132-	 

     

    

 

Section
12.20 Disclosure. Each Loan Party agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will now or in the future issue
any press release or other disclosure using the name of an Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or referring
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of such Agent or such Lender, except to the extent
that such Loan Party or such Affiliate is required to do so under applicable law (in which event, such Loan Party or such Affiliate
will consult with such Agent or such Lender before issuing such press release or other public disclosure). Each Loan Party hereby
authorizes each Agent and each Lender, after consultation with the Borrowers, to advertise the closing of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, and to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangements entered into among the parties hereto,
as such Agent or such Lender shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, on a home page or similar place for dissemination
of information on the Internet or worldwide web, or in announcements commonly known as tombstones, in such trade publications,
business journals, newspapers of general circulation and to such selected parties as such Agent or such Lender shall deem appropriate.
